Round 4 / packing (99.8%) / shipping (99.7%)

[dirge]

This looks fantastisch! But the right shift isnt perfect...

Didn't notice until you pointed it out. What's the story behind that? Just limitations set by SP?

[7bit]

There are no 2.25 (there is a 2.25 units key but only with a rough texture) and 2.75 keys, so we use 2 and 2.5 units.

[komar007]

There are no 2.25 (there is a 2.25 units key but only with a rough texture) and 2.75 keys, so we use 2 and 2.5 units.

Is there a chance we'll have molds done in the future for these keys? I mean, 100 orders should be enough to cover the costs, shouldn't it?

[7bit]

Sure. I hope someone else runs a spherical group buy and lets them make the 2.25 units mold to have left ANSI Shift and right ANSI Return.

[gazzerh]

Sure. I hope someone else runs a spherical group buy and lets them make the 2.25 units mold to have left ANSI Shift and right ANSI Return.

So what is happening here? Is the ANSI left shift being used as a ISO right shift because the correct length ISO right shift isn't available?

[7bit]

Not available:
2.25 units 2.75 units
Available:
2 units and 2.5 units.

This is a known fact for quite some time, you can even see it in the layout graphics:

[dirge]

Still the set looks fantastic on the board and that's all that matters

[metalliqaz]

Wow this is very exciting!

[domin8r]

Question.. my order #757 are all blanks. These won't need to wait for replacements right?

[7bit]

[domin8r]

Awesome.. making a lot of people happy with those packages!

[komar007]

What about #254? Is it too small and will be sent later?

[7bit]

What about #254? Is it too small and will be sent later?

I've got to find the bag with your regular order to put it together with the DUMMY stuff ...

[komar007]

Okay

[mashby]

Is there a way to query your Perl bot to find out what address my order is shipping to? I'm sorry, but I can't recall.

Nevermind! I found the traffic in my messages outbox.

[jabar]

I hope someone else runs a spherical group buy

wait, you're not doing R5 yourself?

[7bit]

I want to cheap out on key cap molds the next time.

[nathanscribe]

Those sphericals are gorgeous. Nice work.

[niz]

Still no 0593 yet.

[7bit]

Those sphericals are gorgeous. Nice work.

By now, I had completely forgotten who broght up that color scheme. I still remember that he wanted some brown/beige color scheme similar to what matt3o did but then changed his mind.

[kps]

0170

Those sphericals are gorgeous. Nice work.

By now, I had completely forgotten who broght up that color scheme.

Clearly inspired by the Symbolics LM-2 "Space Cadet" keyboard.

[7bit]

Yes, but I did originally not intend to run a spherical group buy at all!

[dirge]

Yes, but I did originally not intend to run a spherical group buy at all!

Glad you did they look awesome!

[jabar]

Were many of these custom legends that you had made? If someone else wants to run a SPH R5, can they use your tools?

[7bit]

Yes, but only if they let them make a 2.25 units mold.


Also, it will not be Round 5 if someone else does it!

[JBert]

/me looks for invoice...

Invoice #9025 for JBert

Looks at list...

0752
0757
0759
0766
0767
0776
0777

This might take a while...

[7bit]

These 9000 numbers are for people who will get Round 3 replacements but did not order anything from Round 4. However, if you ordered after I added these users, this account is used instead of the creation of a regular one.

The largest regular number is 0779.

[Delphox]

Oh my... when 0018??

[JSchool]

7bit, in honor of your name, you should ship orders in which the sum of the numbers in the order number is 7. Like 2 + 3 + 2 = 7.
