The package with the replacements is on the way to me. Until it did not arrive, I will not ship Retro stuff with symbols, Retro stuff without the * numpad key and Noir stuff.JaccoW wrote:7bit, could you tell me what the status is of #0656?

Ah, missed that part about Noir. I guess I can wait a bit more.7bit wrote:The package with the replacements is on the way to me.

It seems I've forgotten to add Z to all SPH/DE kits, BTW. I will ship the missing keys as soon as possible.
I did check mine and could not find any of these issues. Sometimes the keys must be pressed down with some force to get them in.jabar wrote:#767 arrived today!
I used R4 to populate my G80-2100HDD keyboard and I have a few observations.
First, the real high profile (Row1) keycaps are a bit difficult to work with. It seems that there is a slight rotation of the cap relative to the shaft, although I'm not entirely sure if that is due to clearance in the cruciform by SP, or if I don't have them on correctly. Row3 keycaps were the easiest to apply, given that they are symmetric. Some, like my R and P, managed to seat lower than the rest so there is a subtle but noticeable variance in keycap heights.
Second, for the G80-2100, I wish the color profiles matched better. The left-side F1 - F10 keys are not programmable but the F1 - F24 R4 caps are colored to fit in the programmable section. I see that the original design followed the Sun function design. I wish I ordered the FUNCTION set so I would have more flexibility here.
Still the whole set is really cool and SA profile keycaps are non-existant. Thank you very much 7bit for this neat set & all the time and hassles that went into it! I will continue playing with the keycaps to get everything as level as possible (frightening considering most of the G80-2100 is PCB mounted). A 2100 plate GB anyone?
Also, 7bit, I didn't see the Scroll lock cluster in my bags. Is it possible for me to purchase those from you instead?

If you are going for the Symbolics "Space Cadet" look (which I am sure that 7bit did...), then off-white is the authentic case colour.hsu wrote:Isn't anyone else considering painting their keyboard blue or gray to match???
There is no SHIFT key in any spherical kit!Minskleip wrote:How many SHIFT keycaps should there be in SPH/STANDARD?
Ah yes, I didn't notice the SHIF T7bit wrote:There is no SHIFT key in any spherical kit!Minskleip wrote:How many SHIFT keycaps should there be in SPH/STANDARD?
All there is are various sizes of SHIF T keys, all for row 3:
1.25, 1.75, 2 and 2.5 units.
The graphic lists 2 2 unit SHIF T keys, but that is becuase I had forgotten to remove the 2nd one as it is redundant. Normally (DCS family) there is a 2.25 units SHIF T key, missing in the SA-family.
Then I have the correct number too! Yeah, I asked earlier in the thread before my order shipped about getting that cluster. Wasn't sure if you didn't have those extras.7bit wrote:The Scroll lock cluster was not part of the TERMINAL kit. I must take a look if I have these, but somehow doubt this. Maybe, someone does not need these.
I mean the spaces... the black holes that leave you shift floating in space alone
You'd have to stack like 3 or 4 rings because the stem mounts are soooooooo long.hsu wrote:Did anyone try O-rings on the sphericals?
