7bit and 7bot are engaged in a battle to the death over this GB on top of a mountain of keycaps and invoices.

[Muirium]

I blame it all on 8bit!

[Vierax]

Agreed with Muirium, It's a very long 1st May weekend. Strange that he didn't tell us that he takes some day off, he's always around, even on sunday. I hope he's fine.

If 7bit did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

Is there any chance this will produced this year?
I hope this is not a very big scam .... :/

[Muirium]

It's a devilishy incompetent scam if it is! 7bit put a ton of work into this. And his several previous GBs have been great successes, if always a bit on the late side too. For instance:



Hopefully he's all right, and his computer is the problem.

what a beatiful keyboard!!!!!!

[Yslen]

Muirium will be sad when Round 5 is done and people are no longer gazing admiringly at his keyboard

[Muirium]

I'm actually looking forward to it! Beauty is all in the caps. And I want more colours! That's why I'm so into Round 5.

The keyboard is a prototype CM NovaTouch with Topre switches and MX mounts. Here's Matt3o's with another nice set:

my keyboard is poker ii, and im also looking forward some colous dsa keycaps, such as

hmmmm niceeeee Caps and Board !!!!!!

Btw : From left to the right: Row 3 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4, 3 ?

[Muirium]

Yes row 3 on the function row then 1-2-3-4-3.

The cursor keys are row 2 and 4, because I like 'em that way.



And the mods are all row 3, due to be fixed by SPH/REPAIR.

Backspace and mods look a bit weird

[SL89]

How annoying is all the mods being row 3.
I barely got together a Round 5 kit and i noticed all the mods were row 3 a little after the fact.

[Muirium]

Yeah, Round 5 is an improvement on Round 4 SPH (what you see above). Round 5 has row 1 (Backspace) and row 2 (Tab) mods but still no row 4 (Shift). The reason is that each kind of cap needs a mold to make it. SP is gradually building up the capability to do more and more, mostly because of 7bit paying them! That's why SPH/REPAIR exists: to remake the blue caps that we can now fix.

As for how it feels: no problem. I notice the little gap at the right Shift key (another due to be repaired: it's a little too small at 2.5u instead of 2.75u) more than what row the mods are on. It's more of a matter of looks than feel, I think. But I'm still looking forward to the day we have the whole lot done right!

[SL89]

Thank you, i really am keen on the profiling of the SA caps, and when i saw the differences were so pronounced, i was kinda thinking it would ruin the whole feel. I am mostly assuaged at this point.

Does anybody know 7bit IRL, btw?

[Muirium]

Very good question. I don't, and I haven't heard a peep from him in a while. My PM about his Cherry M84 switches that I've been late to send, still sits unread in my outbox.

I know there's a few DT folk in Berlin. Anyone?

[bchociej]

I also haven't heard anything from 7bit since his last forum post. I still await invoicing from SP with all collected funds safely in my bank account.

[balanar]

Hmm the funds are still with you? Does that mean the order still has not been placed?
