:evilgeek:
how much would that cost? the usual $4000/key?

$4000 for the row 1, 2 units key.
$3500 for each space bar (6.25 and 7units), but that's quite some time ago.
:-)

Or maybe it is the smaller the more expensive ($4500, then)!
:evilgeek:

This is how the ranking would look like:

Code: Select all

1. 15.25 7bit
2.  5.00 diatec
3.  1.25 matt3o
:cool:

Try to beat me!

I can never tell if 7bit is being informative or gloating :P

Not before we have 1.5 units hat caps with SHIFT on them!
:evilgeek:

TODO-list:
R2U125 (same as R4)
R3U150A (hAt cap)
R2U150A (same as R4)
R4U225
R4U275
R3U600
JRET (with centered legend)

6.0u space bar would be nice too.

Maybe, I should call the hat caps R3U150H, because H for Horizontal is not really required.

The postfixes are:
B bottom nub (DCS only)
C center nub
D deep dish
H hat cap
P POS (key to fit on 2 or more switches)
S stepped (Caps Lock)
V vertical key
X trash key

I tried to ask but it seems they are fully booked and they don't have time to work on new molds right now

Should the two marked caps not be brown?

okay. Melissa triple-checked... and it seems that they have a semi-matte 1.25u R4 after all.

So I guess the layout might be 1-1-2-3-4-4 after all.

Wouldn't the 1.25 R4 be required for ISO left shift anyway? Or would they have been Row 3?

In the effort to simplify the GB I made the following modifications. I believe it's a saner config that would hopefully reduce production errors.

I hope I corrected all row-4 vs row-3...

I'll have to buy the whole Pro Modifiers kit just for the 1.75 shift. :cry:

Can you add Meta and Hyper to the OS kit ? And this kit should be R4, not R3.

Do you have a colour code in mind for the orange? YCF perhaps?

Color codes:

Brown: TBN
Burgundy: RBC
Cream: WCK

Green: VAV
Yellow: YL
Gray: GTM
White: WFK

Legends on dark colors will be cream (WCK). Legends on lighter colors will be pure white (WFK)

Ah, WFK, the brilliant white. Are you sure about cream legends, though? What gave you that idea?
