Yes, this is correct. The bot knows what's in your PN without even reading it! :geek:

(It reads the notification mails that the forum software sends out, which contain the whole message text. And 7bit switches off 7bot when he goes to sleep. I won't speculate on why he feels the need to do that.)
And the other question is: Do I have to send a PN or Email to 7bot? Confusing...
PN is right, as it says in the wiki.

Plot twist: 7bot actually is 7bit. He doesn't get switched off, he simply goes to sleep.

I am going to have to pull out as I have just received my first SA set and I am not a massive fan, they look awesome just the typing experience is not to my taste :(

I did CLEARALL then REFUND in 1 message, will that work?

edit: all seems to have gone through ok, I feel scummy hope the buy goes well.

Hey guys, I just figured out, that the Spacebars I ordered probably won't fit. Is it the signature plastics universal spacebar, which is part of this groupby for 6.25 unit?
Because I have a Leopold FC500r and not a F200R, so the stems are 42,5mm from the center... Anyone knows if this will fit?

Did you get an answer from SP whether or not the 4.5x space bar fits on KBT Pure Pro?

I paid a few days ago via bank transfer (if I had known I would have been able to use Paypal or Google Wallet I would've done that instead!), but I haven't received any kind of confirmation that the payment went through.

Moreoever, the amount has increased by a small amount since then (most likely due to a change in participants, which is fine).

My question is: when do we get confirmation and can I pay the remainder of the invoice via Paypal or Google Wallet?

I receive my calm depths last weekend and have been using them at work for the whole week, 40 hours is plenty.

I just find the typing is less fluid as as the high profile mixed with the generally chunky key caps.

They definitely have a feel all of their own: damn tall sphericals. Of course, I'm addicted, but it's not for everyone.

Anyone got an estimate for production time?

It's because I just ordered the alphanumeric without the modifiers and i don't know if it will work together with the standard filco shift, enter etc.

I second that. All in or nothing is probably the way go here... SP has drawings on their homepage with measurements, but these are high profile keycaps so they will most likely a be a bit taller then your filco caps.

thank you for your reply, i ordered now the whole set... grey mods, white keys. I hope it will look great on my filco, because yesterday i just wanted to buy a spacebar, and now i have a full set :D
Btw, how does it feel to type on these, compared to the standard keys?

Awesome, of course. But it's down to personal preference. These are spherical, so you feel your fingers cupped more than the usual cylindrical shape. And the height is definitely something to feel. I find they make my keyboards feel better, as well as look the business. They've got a great sound, too. Lower pitched clack than lighter caps.

What kits did you order? Sometimes it's cheaper to get one combined kit than a few separate parts.

any suggestions for price optimization? :) (Now its 111$)

Looks ideal to me. And 3 space bars? I'd make one of them a different colour, for variety…

Of course, the way I optimise my own order is by going for the TENKLESS kits, which is a very comprehensive form of keycap madness. But that's another story.

Yea, I'll try to mod the spacebar for another leopold, its just 4 bucks :) perhaps i'll get a red one.
Actually i would like to have the function keys (f1-f12) and the arrow + position keys also in white (the keys between numblock and enter i mean)... but i couldn't figure out how i could do that efficiently...
There are no white arrows...

Indeed. White mods were added last of all, so the kits are more expensive and there's fewer options. I'll have some white arrows, but I'm planning on using them too.

Originally this was a single colour theme GB…
