OK, BOOBS in row 3 or row 1 or what?

maybe row3, so one can put it next to spacebra

[Muirium]

You mean one of these?

hmm... more like this:

[Muirium]

Like space bars, sometimes less is more.

Spoiler:

[matt3o]

are we really discussing a BOOBS key? really?

[Muirium]

No, just space bras. Once again.

[snoopy]

are we really discussing a BOOBS key? really?

Yes, it means Binary Object Oriented Bus System and has nothing to do with women.

oooh okay that's fine then...

I prefer TITS (Totally Incompatible Time Sharing) over BOOBS.

Discounts available for multiple orders. As it says later in your invoice:
<snipped>
Naturally, the only thing I have more than a single order for is the MUIRIUM kit of multi colour blanks, so no discounts for me.

These asterisk numbers show up by single keys I've ordered, like the BLANK/R3U100D/GREY, which has a *2. If I'm reading the discount correctly, I should be paying 80% of the list price if I order three units. I've ordered three units, but the extended price is just three times list. What am I missing?

Never mind, math is obviously not my strong suit. The per-item cost is cheaper, based on the number I've ordered.

[panpipe]

I'm not finishing my payment until this whole BOOBS debate is over. There's a chance right?

[matt3o]

I sincerely hope this boobs key is just a joke.

[panpipe]

I sincerely hope this boobs key is just a joke.

Well it's definitely not a serious keycap.

Maybe 7bit should just hide the key in an unpopular kit and watch that kit skyrocket.

I think I understand why some people want the key so bad. They figure if they have that key, they can finally touch "boobs" without assault charges filed.

[fifted]

Or the 'cloud of boobs' meme incarnate: order 50 of 'em so your keyboard says BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS... (New GeekHack header image?)

[Muirium]

7bit: that's your route to 300% MOQ right there: the GH kit.

It was "fingering" some of the other novelty legends some of us were looking forward to!

[Mr.Bean]

My name is not included on delivery address is it normal?

[7bit]

No you should add it to your address and submit it again.

[Mr.Bean]

Already did but no effect.

[Mr.Bean]

Tried once again and seem to work now.

btw, has anyone figured out the sets needed for a Kinesis layout?

on gh http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=23446.390, I see a posting of a breakdown (towards the end of that page, there is a chart), but I'm afraid to get this to match out with Round 5 would take a computer program to figure out...

[tER299]

7bit, I found out in the invoice that one transaction to you was registered twice, so now I have $1,98 in my account.

[7bit]

Thanks!

Now, please don't pay 0.01 EUR.

[gropingmantis]

Just paid...again...thats the last time! I swear!




Unless something good turns up

[xbb]

do I need to send PAYPAL to 7bot to pay with paypal?

[7bit]

Obviously.


Should you be shocked by the high PayPal fees, just send PAYEUR to get back to normal.


Please keep in mind that PayPal doesn't offer you 1:1.36 exchange rate!

Or a sufficiently helpful-feeling human who has some familiarity with the kits...

The range of keys in Round 5 allows quite a lot of this to be done as shown. All the 1.25 mods are available as are the row 4 cursor keys. However the 1.25 punctuation and the other unusual row 4 keys aren't available, and 2 unit keys aren't available in row 4, only in the steep row 1 or the symmetric row 3. The blank availability though is enough to make up the layout.

To cover the pictured layout, I would go for something like this:
HONEY/ALPHA 1 - Covers the two 5x3 alpha blocks, change for language as applicable
HONEY/NUMROW/WHITE 1 - For the row 1 numbers, also includes row 2 [ and ] keys that can mounted upside down to be the row 4 [ and ]
HONEY/MODEXTRA125 1 - For the 1.25 Tab and Caps Lock
HONEY/SHIFT125 2 - Self explanatory
HONEY/CURSOR/R4 1 - All the row 4 cursor keys!
HONEY/MOD100 1 - For the single unit Ctrls
HONEY/MODEXTRA100 1 - For the single unit Alts
HONEY/CURSORBASE 1 - Home, End, Page Up and Page Down in their standard rows

Additional required blanks:
BLANK/R3U125/GREY 4 - This includes 2 for row 1 - row 1 1.25 blanks aren't available
BLANK/R2U100/GREY 4 - Equal to and used as row 4 keys (deduct 2 if using the row 2 [ and ] keys from NUMROW/WHITE or option 2)
BLANK/R3U200/GREY 4 - (deduct 1 if using option 1b)

Options:
1a HONEY/NUMNUM/WHITE 1 - Gets you the row 2 "8" key, but no "3" is available (you could have an upside down "3" by using the "3" key in this kit)
1b HONEY/NUMPAD 1 - Same as above but also gets you a row 3 2u Enter
2 HONEY/7BIT 1 - This has two grey row 2 curly bracket keys, which could be used an alternative to the [ and ] in NUMROW/WHITE

[tER299]

Thanks!

Now, please don't pay 0.01 EUR.

Okay, then I won't, just a bit odd because I'm 100% sure I transfered the full remaining amount in dollars (guess my bank has stolen some of my money, again)

[7bit]

LOL! I know you paid $1.99 via SEPA which had been turned into EUR. I doubt it was a real USD transfer, becuase usually you have to pay exchange fees for that.

On the other side, I can only account the EUR amount that arrived here and aply my rounded exchange rate of 1:1.36.


BTW: If you had paid 1.47 EUR, you would have 0.01 EUR to use up on more keys.
=> No change for you to ever pay the exact sum!!!

[kennyk64]

Can anyone recommend a combination of the kit for my Keycool 84? It would be nice if there are customs keycaps with side-printed embedded numpad.
