Round 5 and Round 6 kits for sale!

[7bit]

Ordered a little more. Will pay it when next invoice comes.
I just saw that you have a order league. Funny that you say that you "wasted" money on things from your orders .
I would put it like "spent". Because these things you don't waste money on .
But maybe if you as my girlfriend...

I did not write this, it was the bot. To the bot, key caps etc. mean nothing.

I'm more concern with the yellowing of whites that Muirium mentioned than the gloss, as the Honeywell is meant to gloss, for nostlagic sake. But yellow! Hmm... If I went with the black and red base, it's not Honeywell anymore!

It depends on the amount of sun they get over time. Better make sure you have several reserve kits to be stored in a dark room.

Hi, I notice HONEY/ERGOBASE are all row 3s. Any chance a base kit of HONEY/ERGO (and not HONEY/ERGO/R3) can be offered? I'm looking to combine that with HONEY/APLHA.. Thanks!

Sure ...

I've already put in an order and paid via PayPal, but now, I'm wondering:

Is there a way to buy additional keys so that I can switch L CAPS LOCK with L CTRL keys on a Filco TKL ANSI setup?

Essentially like a UNIX/hhkb format.

Yes, just order one of these:
HONEY/MODIFIER
HONEY/MOD175

[matt3o]

how many caps I would have to order to reach 100%?

[7bit]

2253.

Thank you! So I should add for $8:

HONEY/MOD175

But before I do, can you explain the timing/interplay between price drops and how I should put in this order to minimize trouble for everyone?

As I understand it, the final prices may change for items, depending on how many are ordered, but since I have already PayPal'ed my initial order, what should I do in this situation? There's a funky feedback cycle going on here, so I don't know how I should go about modifying this order/paying for the extra $8.

What should I do to minimize the work for everyone involved?

I apologize in advance for the confusion due to my noobiness...

[7bit]

Please don't pay small values at this time. Just wait until prices are fixed and you stopped adding stuff to your list.

[RaleghDirat]

Any chance for the blank kits?
Wanted to see more black, even for alphas...

[jpatters]

Here is my build idea, still haven't decided which sets to order, it's a matter of figuring out what exactly I want for extra keys to play around with, because each scenario is different.

I like these five colour layouts people are doing with a bit of R4 SPH blue. Are both function rows row 1 profile, JP? Someday I must get the Honeywell working and figure out exactly what Clear Reset and Transmit actually do!

Blank alphas please! White and red are great, but black, oh boy! I could use these.

[Belfong]

90%!

Now each of us should get a back up kit so it doesn't yellow and well hit 150% to reduce the price by another 50%!!

Anyone else buy a Full Red Tenkeyless set?

Both R1, from what I can see, they are only available in R1, unless I am missing something. Anyway, the top two rows (well, top three rows, actually) of all three modules are R1, unless I made a mistake. No idea what Transmit is supposed to do, or Clear Reset for that matter. The latter will be my Escape.

[Muirium]

Row 1 is definitely my favourite shape, so I like what you're doing up there. And unassigned keys are always a sound investment for future duties. Macros, especially, with Soarer's Controller.

Those symbol only keys on the number row… very nice! I'd better find the kit.

[beltet]

Finally I paid order #0066. Money will problaby be on the way on monday.
Really looking forward to this!

On last thing, is WEB coming to HONEY/FUNCTION/R1/RED?

[7bit]

[Muirium]

RECORD wants to sit beside PLAY, you know it! I use a row 1 key to trigger SPEAK mode as well, for proofing purposes…

[7bit]

PLAY is always green and never red. But there is no green in the group buy ....

How many will you order when I add PLAY?

[Muirium]

Um… one? Pretty compelling, right! Settle on those ??s will you.

[7bit]

First order!

[DeskNDL82]

are you doing on any kits?
If yes, i will wait until deadline. if not, i'll pay on monday

Sure ...

Actually, I just noticed from the wiki's FAQ that the shift keys in http://deskthority.net/w/images/f/f1/HONEY_rows.png, despite being labeled row 4 (on the left), are actually row 3 profiles. So I wanted to ask are the grey keys in HONEY/ERGO all the labeled profiles? (how bout the vertical ones in the middle that span rows 2-4?) Or are they actually all row 3 profile like HONEY/ERGOBASE shows?
This is my first group buy participation, sorry if I missed something obvious, thanks!

[7bit]

All vertical keys are row 3, no matter if 1.5 or 2 units. There do not exist any vertically curved keys in the SA-family.
HONEY/ERGOBASE is all row 3 for now, but I will turn it into HONEY/ERGOBASE/R3 plus a row 1-4 kit which will be called HONEY/ERGOBASE.

[ryanjun]

I paid off for the order #0119. Really looking forward to receiving those next year!

[farinasa_]

If we order something that doesn't reach 8 orders, will we be given the opportunity to alter the order?

I hope so. Seems there is only me and Jeff who ordered BEPO set

[webwit]

Spam French forums to get more orders!

[Vierax]

I already spam the bépo forum and the mailing list but as I said they all have Typematrix or TrulyErgonomic (with the weird caps in the middle column) and if I go to the other French mechanical forums (I don't even know if such forums exist) I should firstly explain what is bépo layout : A lot of information to a person and only a week to decide, I really doubt it worth it.

One thing that I would very much appreciate it if 7bit can clarify. Is the 450-size space bar compatible with a KBT Pure Pro (as seen in the pic above)?

The illustration in Round 5 wiki doesn't show where the holes are.

I think it's compatible.
FILCO JP-layout has a 4.5 units spacebar. Their SA keyset made by SP.
Here is some pics of spacebar. Bottom of page, the spacebar looks like compatible with KBT Pure Pro's one

Thanks a lot!! It seems they are compatible. However, it would give me more comfortable feeling if it is officially confirmed.
