Round 5 and Round 6 kits for sale!

[7bit]

Naïve? Round 5's oldest troll!

We need somebody American to collect PayPal money!

Just to be precise…

Because there is nobody from US, is there someone else who could collect money here in Europe?

[justcallmecrash]

I am in the US and I have both PP and GWallet. PM me to let me know how I can help.

[facetsesame]

How are the FUNCTION2 sales going? The last invoice I have suggests six were still available.

[SL89]

Just got an invoice and it only had my 'first' order. Kind of spooked

Hi all. Sorry for the noob questions.

I gather that this GB is closed and only a select few leftovers are available for purchase. Is that more or less correct?

[Muirium]

Bang on.

[Data]

Thanks Muirium.

[beltet]

Just wondering. Why does it have to be an American that collect paypal? Is it because of conversation rate or taxes or something else?

[7bit]

We need to send some more money to SP for shipping and things like color-sample rings, grab bags, etc.

Did you roll through the available inventory numbers to make sure the others are still available? I found some of the ones I wanted were already gone when I got my confirmation.

I did indeed. I got an invoice the day before with all of my orders. Then I paid off the end of my '2nd order’ and requested an updated invoice and it was gone lol

Conversion is definitely there. I'm stuck in the GBP currency island, and have to convert all the time. Paypal stiffs you on conversion rates while smiling and saying "Free transaction! No commission fee for you!" Who needs to take a slice when you're in charge of swapping cakes?

Wait a minute... Do you have any forecasts for these grab bags?

[SL89]

New invoice has everything again, just waiting to see that this 2nd batch is paid off... maybe ill have time to build a ghetto 40% kit next!

Yes, sorry. I did something wrong.


Now everything should be fine again.

Hi everyone!

I would really like to get some spherical keys for my Filco TKL, and spend some hours looking through the leftovers to get a nice kit.
Is it still possible to order some of the leftovers? Yesterday I have send a PM to 7bot, but I received no mail.

[pyrelink]

Only on mobile so don't feel like checking, but I think there might be "just" enough kits left to make an almost normal layout. Might be wrong though. To order just follow the order instructions on the wiki.

The bot only runs when 7Bit runs the scripts, so you might have to be patient.

If you send a random string to 7Bot you can trigger him to send you a new invoice. Assuming you ordered something, you should get an email listing what you ordered, what's left in stock, how much you owe how to pay and how much you've paid.

[xcopy]

Thanks for the info!
Then I will have to be patient and wait for 7bit.

I think with my order you can make several different layouts:
HONEY/TKL/BASE/NOFUN
HONEY/TKL/BASE/WHITE
HONEY/ALPHAINT/RED
HONEY/INTER/RED
HONEY/DE
HONEY/ISO
HONEY/ISO/WHITE
HONEY/CURSOR/R24
HONEY/FUNCTION/R1
HONEY/SPACE625
HONEY/SPACE625/RED
HONEY/REDESCAPE/R3

I think, I went a bit crazy, but I don´t care!

Because I know that there are lots of knowledgeable people on this thread, I figure this is a good place to ask:

I've picked up R5 TKL kits because I'd like to have a TKL board sometime in the near future (right now I have just an ED and some crap boards).

I want a TKL that allows me to open up the switches without desoldering, has decent rollover support (I know most are only n-key if using PS2 interface), and doesn't completely break the bank. Detachable cord would be nice too. I've heard good things (price/performance) about the CM Storm QuickFire Rapid, but I believe you have to desolder the switches to open them up.

I'm not adverse to putting something together on my own (a la the Phantom) but I am somewhat wary of having to source all components individually, unless someone can point me to a decent set of links where I'm not paying ridiculous amounts for small numbers of components but also not buying 500 more of something than I need.

What do people suggest?

[Laser]

If you know how to solder, I suggest buying a CM Storm QuickFire Rapid, a compatible replacement controller from bpiphany ( http://deskthority.net/for-sale-f55/qfr ... t6193.html )and then keep an eye for people selling TKL metal plates with notches for easy top switch removal. Then you need to unsolder/resolder the switches only once, in order to replace the plate with the customized one, and you are all set.

Have you seen this?

That's pretty cool but I don't have I SO keys. Or need an ISO layout.

It's both asci and ISO actually!

[Mr.Bean]

Is this GB in production yet?

[7bit]

Yes.

[jond_keyhack]

I have never ordered anything from a group buy before so I have two or three questions:-
1. What colours can we specify or is it just black/white/grey/red ? Or can we specify anything from the signatureplastics colour code inventory.
2. What size is the ISO enter key? i.e 1.25ux2ux1ux1u or 1.5ux2ux1.25 because the picture looks like the latter and I need the former.
3. Does the key have to be from the signatureplastics SA family?
4. Does a two unit keycap have two or three stems because I need one with two stems with the spacing making them identical to having two single unit keys together.
5. I can't find in round 5 a custom size for a 1x4 SA and since sigplastics offer the 1x4.5 in DCS only I would assume round 5 offers both types.

6. Is this shipping this month and next? Am I too late?
thanks
