Round 5 and Round 6 kits for sale!

[pyrelink]

Well, usually I have trouble buying things that I don't have a direct use for at the moment, but I know I will kick myself (like I do every time I pass up a keyset) if I don't go in for this. Ordered a whole bunch of crap from what was left. Now just gives me even more of a reason to get my ass working on my custom.

[garrettwp]

I know this is a newbie question and I want to make sure that I read it right, are we suppose to receive confirmation that payment was received? I sent payment via google wallet.

You will receive a new invoice with something like "amount to pay: 0$"

But this invoice is pretty random in terms of schedule. You can receive it in couple of hours or in one week.

[orcinus]

You can't trigger an invoice by email, you have to write a PM to 7bot. 7bot sends invoices from time to time without trigger when prices or available products change, maybe it was an "incidental invoice"that you got.

You misunderstood me.
I've said i've sent it my e-mail, not sent it an e-mail.

As in: i've PM'd it a message containing my e-mail address.

I order was 04/21. Paypal credit card payment.

[seferphier]

I paid but haven't gotten a response from 7bot too.

[DeskNDL82]

Hello, im a totaly noob in keyboards. For 2 weeks i buy my first mechanical Keyboard (Ducky Shine 3 ) and now i´m infected.
I want to buy a KBC Poker 2 qwertz Iso.
What i need to order? Are the round 5 Keys Cherry Caps?

Can anyone help me please ?
I am from Austria (German language)
I want on the outside grey and inside white. and outside optional in blue. i see the blues are out...

I think i need

HONEY/ALPHAINT (ALPHA kit for DE-IT | $21)
HONEY/DE (DE language kit | $16)
HONEY/TKL/BASE/NOFUN (TKL base no func keys kit | $19)

HONEY/KBDRUNNER/RED (Keyboard runner (row 1; red) | $1)
what blank keys i need for the windows key ? want it in grey

please correct me if I'm wrong

[Muirium]

You guessed right: these are Cherry (MX) compatible caps and will go on a Poker just fine.

But then things get complex…

The blue ones aren't a full colour scheme. They're actually just updates for the previous Round 4. Nothing to stop you from using some yourself (many people are) but they aren't available for every modifier (what we call the "outside" areas on the board).

The alphas ("inside" area) are also a bit constrained. Someone who's following the current stock levels will be able to advise you there. But you've basically got the right idea.

[dyger]

You are right with the list of things you need. If you want blank keys as windows keys then you need two of those I think.

BLANK/R3U125/GREY (blank key (grey) | $1)

[PaulNewman]

What i need for the escape key? Row 1 or row 3 ? what is this?

[Muirium]

Row 1.

The caps are different shapes on different rows of the keyboard. Row 1 (the top row on a Poker, where the number keys are) is tallest. You really want to get them right.

[facetsesame]

For a comparison: the blue caps in front are row 3, the grey cap you can just see at the top is row 1:

You can also just about see row 2 and 4 grey alphas peeking out from behind the tab and shift keys. That's a really good image for illustrating the profile variation, actually.

[Muirium]

I was just about to go dig it out and edit my post when I saw Facet's done my work already! So here's a diagram instead:

In Round 5, the mods on row 4 and 5 are actually row 3 profile. (For production reasons.) This works quite well. The Row 1 and 2 modifiers (Tab, Backspace, etc.) are correct Row 1 and Row 2 in shape. The SPH/REPAIR blue kits are patches for these exact keys.

[PaulNewman]

WOW thank you very much!! I love this Forum. Normaly i just read in this Forum. My english is not the best thanks @ all for helping me!
PS: I ordered it now per Mail to 7bot
How long i must wait to get a confirmation ? 7bot = 7bit?

[Muirium]

Yeah, 7bit needs to hit a button. Might take some time. He seems to be on vacation!

[facetsesame]

Maybe he's just trying to find the right button...

[PaulNewman]

I hope this is enough there, I get a keyboard together ... with the caps

[Muirium]

Your keyboard will have to wait for these caps. GBs always take a while!

[PaulNewman]

I mean, I hope I'm not too late ...

For what it's worth, here's the availablity as of Wednesday 30th April 09:22 CEST when I last had a Round 5 update:

I understand Stk means stock - so this column is how many kits were available for sale. Stück (the number of pieces in each kit) is actually in column Pcs.

[PaulNewman]

[whitecitadel]

Any word from Melissa?

^^^^^^

[whitecitadel]

Maybe he's just trying to find the right button...

No just use the ANY KEY...

[facetsesame]

Maybe he's just trying to find the right button...

No just use the ANY KEY...

But which one?

[Findecanor]

I wonder, which HONEY Space keys are in Space Bar - profile, and which are not?

On the 3-unit space bar, where are the stabiliser mounts? Is it stabilised like a 2.75-unit key with the stabilisers mounts just as close as on a 2-unit key or are the centres 38 mm apart?

[facetsesame]

The 4 unit space bar is the smallest key in space bar profile, the smaller space bars are all in row 3 profile.

I haven't seen any information about the mounts for the 3u space bar, for either switches or stabs.
Muirium is among those to find out:

Re: 3u space bars: they're unusual caps. I have one in my order. But I don't know where the stabs attach, if anywhere. And it is a standard row 3 concave shaped cap. Not rounded / convex, like all the larger space bars in this GB.

[ray4jc]

So did SP respond with prices so high 7bit couldn't handle it??
