Hi, trying to order. First time on DT. Sent a PM to 7bit and order to 7bot....both are stuck in "outbox" rather than "sent items" ...wtf

How do we pay after the order is accepted?
Any idea on shipping cost to UK?

Cheers,

Hi,
Orders go to 7bot, who picks them up without reading them so they stay in the Outbox. An invoice will be e-mailed eventually.
Payment is by Paypal.
Shipping is fixed at $7 (I think).

@facetsesame thanks! Seeing as the deadline is today how long should I wait before trying again? I'd also want to avoid ordering twice! I sent the PM to 7bit 30 mins ago and the PM (order) to 7bot 15 mins ago...

I guess I get the instructions of who to pay via paypal in the email I receive?

Cheers, np. The last request I sent to the bot this morning took about 15 minutes, but I have waited overnight before.
Resubmitting the message won't do any harm. For example, sending "KIT 1" sets the number of KIT you're ordering to 1 - if you sent it twice, the bot won't increment or increase it. If you wanted to order an extra KIT you would send "KIT 2". If you're really in doubt, send a message starting with the line CLEARALL followed by what you want to order.
The e-mail incldues a breakdown, totals, shipping and payment info, amongst other stuff.

Ok thanks, i'll wait. When is the actual deadline timewise (It's 5 PM here in the UK now)? I want the set for an ISO UK poker 2 could anyone on here check that I have done the order correctly (if they have spare time on their hands :p). The blank black keys are spares. I got the TKL-ISO base set rather than the ISO-60% base set so I could use it on one of my TKL boards if I fancied it at a later date. I sent this to 7bot:

HONEY/ALPHAUK
HONEY/TKLISOBASE
HONEY/REDESCAPE/R1
HONEY/JRET/RED
HONEY/SPACE625/RED

The earlier statement was correct at the time, but 7bit changed the diagram after a discussion on this topic yesterday in this thread.

Half five now :) The order format looks fine to me, the wiki says the SPACE625 (SP universal space bar) is ok for Pokers so I think you should be ok.

What I'm going to do with my keycaps and some round4 keycaps that I have. The thumb keys and bottom row are not definitive since I have not finished my layout and I haven't yet an Ergodox to test it.

I saw the discussion but was hoping he hadn't changed them. :-(

Although I guess it doesn't matter as R3 keys are easy to find but R2 aren't.

I'm just guessing here. I'm not aware 7bit said anything, but since the file changed, it is the logical explanation.

I think this change is good exactly for the reason you said : grey R2 are rare in other kit. R3 keys are very easy to find.

Last question: any reason a side-stemmed caps lock cap is included into the HONEY/STANDARD125 but is not included into the HONEY/TKL?

I guess it's because Cherry (who use side-stemmed caps lock) do not sell TKL keyboards. It was the reason for me to change my order to HONEY/STD125ISO, too.

EDIT: STD125ISO

I initially had HONEY/STANDARD125 on my list, but it actually makes more sense for my set up to order TKL + numpad kit, because the numpad kit offers a 1x "0" and then I can add a separate 1x "," and more 1x options for the numpad in general, which is good for Phantom/Duck LightSaver set ups. But the HONEY/STANDARD125 only includes one long "0".

In the meantime, I've added a grey lotus side-stemmed 1.75x cap to my order and will probably be looking for someone to sell their side stemmed caps lock in the future.

Here is what I decided on for my UK ISO POKER 2:

optional programmable arrow keys can be swapped in or out with blank red caps.

Any chance to get the big L-shaped Enter key? It would be just brilliant!

I added some extra keycaps to my order list. I got second invoice mail(for extra cost) and paid for extra cost.

But today I got same invoice mail again without my purchase. Please check.

Signature Plastics's SA family datasheet doesn't list this size of keycap so it may not be available. However this also doesn't list the 4.5u spacebar so may not be complete and up to date. Do you know, 7bit?

Processing of the payments is separate to raising the invoices, your second payment probably hasn't been processed yet, I found it took a few days. If it's been a while it might be worth contacting 7bit.

Guys, still no email confirmation for my order or word from 7bit :( Any message I send to either stays in the outbox and never gets "sent"

They list! ;)

Silly me... No, they don't. Sorry for the mistake...

It has to be 1.25 x 2 x 2.25 x 1 I guess... It's absent in the list :(

The cap photo looks more like 1.5 x 2 x 2.25 x 1 to me. It's much wider than the one SP lists.

I don't use all the double width key caps in the top rows, they are mostly for decoration.

You're shooting hard for a lot more than 150% MOQ here, 7bit. Good luck!
I hope nobody will kill me., but I will remove the cursor keys from this, but also make it cheaper. Should you need the cursor keys you can buy them separately!
:shock:

OK, I split it up!

Everybody who ordered HONEY/FUNMOD/BLACK has now an extra HONEY/CURSOR/R3/BLACK kit in his order, at the same price as before (with the same keys caps as before).

Throw it out if you son't like it be sending this to the bot:
HONEY/CURSOR/R3/BLACK 0

Ah well, I'm sure they look good all the same. I liked webwit's answer that it summons the bot, but maybe you would need the "7 BOT MODE" key for that.
If I had a keyboard with that much space above the alphas, I would be tempted to have numbered function keys up to the top, F36 and beyond...

Also, putting in a vote that I would seriously considered black alphas. I'd also seriously consider grey alphas.

Edit: I see the black ones. Still think grey would be nice :-)
Those 4 keys will be row 2 in curved kits and row 3 in the all row 3 kitas. I will soon post more options for blanks, so you can make your own kits.
:-)


There is never any harm done to the bot. Only the bot might do hamr to you!

Seriously, you can't do much wrong if you read the wiki abount Round 5. Just type r5 in the search field to get to the article.

HONEY/STANDARD125 is for both Filco full-size and Cherry G80-1000/3000 keyboards, while HONEY/TKL is only for Filco TKL-keyboards. You need to take some of the TENKLESS kits instead.
