Very nice! And I believe it does.

7bit · 16 Dec 2013, 22:19

I don't mean the ugly colors! (very tempting indeed!)
I mean the legends!!!

Is INTER/RED seeing any improvement?
Been holding out till the end to see if the price would improve, but at USD85 for red alphas (ALPHAINT/RED + INTER/RED) I think I'll bail out on that one.

Could always jump over to black, but that's looking even worse : )

I did, very promptly, but somehow there was still more money outstanding...

Aaah, I think that right shift key or something like it is available in the SS family... And that's an ATTN just like I specified for FUNCTION2

aj-kun · 16 Dec 2013, 22:25

Is it just me... or does my order keep getting more and more expensive?

fifted · 16 Dec 2013, 22:26

I really like customizing my Ergodox keys, so I will stick with no legends to be more adaptable.

Don't get bloody started on whole other profiles now! (Although I'd consider SS in a future GB, if we can pull it off. It's a strange one.)

Get on GREY, that's where all the action's at.

(I am on all of them…)

Don't bail on me now... They all jumped off the black I wanted so was 125 for alpha kit with alphas... So going for the red instead, if that goes up, someone needs to die

kps · 16 Dec 2013, 22:29

WHERE ARE MY KEYCAPS, DID YOU SEND THEM YET?

kakarlsen · 16 Dec 2013, 22:33

I could swap black for gray, but that means ALPHAINT/GRAY + INTER/GRAY. Hope this is okay.

facetsesame · 16 Dec 2013, 22:35

Ok, well how about this:
I will order a HONEY/ALPHA/GREY if you can add a SPH/MOD125 and SPH/CAPSLOCK kit to complete a 1.25 ISO alpahnumeric block in combo with SPH/REPAIR.
And no, I can't nick keys from daft122 because that's based on 1.50 mods.
I'll even settle for a GREY 625 space!

I'll hold on a little bit longer - see if it's going the right way, but over NOK 500 for the just the red alphas, that's getting a bit crazy, even in this place : )

We are at the apex of the shitstorm, gentlemen. Hold onto your wallets!

Fight the boring gray! (How could you 7bit!

) Order two INTER/RED as I did, the rebate it great!

Ah, I'm just dreaming. TBH it's more about the stepped "hat" keys for me than the profile. A lot of work would be needed to get SS going - no 6.25 and 7 spaces for starters, and the shift keys would need sorting, and no deep dishes...
Actually the "humble" (hah) DCS has a lot of stepped keys available, someone should do some about that. A replica of that dirge keyboard maybe...

The pronunciation is very similar to the o in love, don't know how else to describe it.

Det uttales da ikke løv!

I would say it's closer to the pronunciation of "uh", without the "h".

mousesony · 16 Dec 2013, 22:41

I hope I ordered correctly.

lakmeer · 16 Dec 2013, 22:43

Oh no! 7bit you changed the rows of HONEY/POS? I was counting on them all being row 3...

7bit · 16 Dec 2013, 22:46

Sorry, but they must fit on this keyboard:

Do you have to be in space to use a keyboard like that?

fifted · 16 Dec 2013, 22:55

You sure have to *have* space to use a keyboard like that...

7bit · 16 Dec 2013, 22:56

It drove me crazy all the time I thought about it. I thought about extenders or ordering tools for longer key mounts.

A few days ago, I packed a G80-2551 and the idea cam into my mind. The G80-2551 etc have an extra PCB for the function keys. It fits there, why shouldn't it on my Hyper7?

To have a curved profile up to the 8th row (counted from the bottom) adds the nice extra of a shorter PCB, becuase the controller etc can be under the extra keys, and laying the traces is not so painful anymore, as there is a lot more space now!

Aha, great idea. And the inspiration was my G80-2551?

lakmeer, I guess you can blame me.

Aw man, I thought I was finally gonna get my hands on some space-cadet glory.
Today... today is the saddest day.

7bit · 16 Dec 2013, 23:03

What do you have against row 2 and row1 POS keys?

lakmeer · 16 Dec 2013, 23:10

Well, nothing really; the thing is I can't mix em on a normal keyboard. I could still get honey/pos but I'd be limited to just choosing just one row.

Also really sad that I can't use HONEY/MODSYM200POS to get the symbols back cos they won't go with row1.

I guess there's not that much demand for space-cadet style function buttons after all. Except 7bit
