Don't worry Suupergeek, those 2 unit mods of yours are standard. That's a Cherry stabiliser:

Any 2 unit cap from this GB should slide right on. Even less bother than the Costar stabs a lot of us use.

Is this a losing battle for me? Help!

The best thing would be to take off the odd key caps in the middle and take a photo, so I can see what should fit.

Finally settled on what I wanted and paid.

I was a bit leery to take the caps off the weird ones in case of some bracket I needed to do something special for, but there's nothing like that in there apparently.

Warning: disgusting keyboard follows.

Center and left space removed, with caps displayed separately:

Hoping to get in on the deal today if things look good for me.

I can't stop looking at the HONEY/ALL option

That's why it's there!

Supergeek: The middle column keys look replaceable enough. Those stabilisers are standard for all 2 unit and longer keys. What you won't keep is the banana shape they have. To see what that's like: try putting your Alt Gr cap on them instead.

If the outer / stabiliser stems aren't on the midline of the cap, then you might be in trouble. I would have to defer to someone more knowledgeable in Cherry mount caps about that.

I just tried my AltGr key in the Backspace slot, and as you mentioned, it looks like the stabilizers are a little bit offset from the middle switch; the AltGr key wouldn't fit. Same with the Enter key. Also, the Tab key area is too narrow to even try. They narrow as they ascend up the middle.

Sad trombone.

totally agree

7bit · 14 Nov 2013, 19:11

I will try to generate a graphic of the HONEYALL kit. All I need to do is to split the kit up and then montage them together ...

The TrulyErgonomic is really bad:
The stabilisers are mounted to high up, so no key suitable for stabilisers will mount. However, You still can use 1 unit keys on these!

bearcat · 14 Nov 2013, 19:49

Did i make it in time for the discount? Timezones are my nemesis

Also, now i'm broke

I could use 1-unit keys for the Win, Del and Tab keys (or partial units like 1.25-1.75) and a 2 with one stem for Del and BS and enter maybe. I still have to worry about profile mixing, though. Is there any way to just get a few blanks of each size, like a grab bag for misc blanks?

7bit · 14 Nov 2013, 19:58

No problem with the time zone!

You will have time to pay until tomorrow.

bearcat · 14 Nov 2013, 20:01

Any chance you can add Shift100 in black?

7bit · 14 Nov 2013, 20:02

Didn't I add it already?

bearcat · 14 Nov 2013, 20:10

wasn't on my invoice

bearcat · 14 Nov 2013, 20:15

I also don't see the SPACE450 one's either

panpipe · 14 Nov 2013, 20:23

I don't quite understand how to pay. I checked my invoice, the OP and the R5 wiki page and there's no paypal address to send it to. Also, what's all this about discount? I say! What ho! Pip pip!

EDIT: Changed my order a bit, it all makes sense now.

EDIT: I DID IT

done.

Glod · 14 Nov 2013, 20:38

This is still open for ordering?

raxer23 · 14 Nov 2013, 20:44

I suppose we still can add something to our orders, even if we have already paid, right?

Yes until the end of the month. Order deadline today is to take advantage of the 5% discount.

phetto and anyone else with problems figuring out which keys to get:

1) Find out which boards you want them on
2) Post them here for us
3) Figure out your color scheme
4) We'll do our best to help you organize which sets to get

osxoep · 14 Nov 2013, 20:50

Start here:

http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round_5

Read the first section from top to bottom: How to Order

Place your order by PMing 7bit

You will receive an email explaining how to either 1) EU Bank Transfer or 2) Pay with PayPal

Note: The discount is Cherry MX Anneversary. It is 5% off your entire order IF YOU PAY BY TOMORROW. This should be sufficient to cover the PayPal fees if you choose that route.

I placed an order a while ago but there wasn't anything about how to pay in the email.
I was also invoiced in US$, that wouldn't help with a euro bank payment.

We celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Cherry MX switch. It was at 7 November 2013 and for the week after, I give 5% rebate for all payments in all group buys!
