Round 5 and Round 6 kits for sale!

[drrtyrokka]

HONEYB/MODBASE125/WHITE please, please, please...
This would make me spend additional 100 bugs. Go for it

Added!

Thank you very much!!!
The new order is placed, waiting for my invoice.

Yeah, I should keep my bugs for me, they are all mine. Can't get enough of bugs.
The bucks will be on their way, really soon

[zslane]

I've long since given up trying to fool myself into believing I'm done ordering kits. There will always be something new I just gotta have. Eagerly awaiting the MODSYM125s in BLUE and CADET...

Also wondering what I would do if full mono-legend kits appeared in all the colors. Oy veh.

Sweet!

Now, how come the MODSYM100 kits don't have any of the keys for row 1??? At 1U they make great F-key replacements!

Can we also please have HONEYB/MODBASE100/WHITE? That would finish my order.

This would be perfect. Throw that Row 2 Legend2 to Row 1 as a page up

[trueno]

I've got a great idea:

Great thanks to trueno, who uses a 2.75 units up key.

LOL!

So tempting.. but Canadian dollar so low.... Must resist....





Sigh. 7BOT will be getting a message soon.

Order #0138 arrived yesterday. Strange that there were keycaps in three colours. I thought there was only one colour when I ordered that kit. No bother, though, as I'm not that fussed about the right colours.
Just wanted to say thanks to all people involved in the organisation of this group buy.
And now I can finally stop reading this thread

[solkoseryl]

Excuse me, 7bit, but I'd like to ask again. Please, please, be more responsive this time
What is about #0155 with its fancy-shmancy delivery?
Can I hope to receive it until Christmas?
Thank you in advance for the answer!

[DeskNDL82]

hehe Solkoseryl

If you ordered round 5A, i think you can receive your order in NEXT Christmas

Order #0367 just arrived, these caps are mint!
Makes these MX browns sound so much more kaclunk kaclunk, love it.

Only issues is you gave me a HONEY/VERTBSL/R1 instead of a HONEY/VERTBSL/R4. It's not a huge deal, the HONEY GTLT/GREY is currently occupying the space.
But if you have the time, please send one my way. I still have some dough left in my account if you require it.

Also heads up for people with Filco Majestouch 2; (Ninja, though I assume there's no difference with the regular model, maybe other Filcos too?)
The stepped mods (HONEY/MODS175S in this case) do not fit under the TAB key because the cap's stem is offset, or the keyboard switch is offset depending on how you look at it. I presume Round 5a will be the same way, so order accordingly.

A photo is forthcoming.

PS. Thanks 7bit for running, and continuing to run, this group buy. The caps were packaged with good old-fashioned Deutsche gründlichkeit.

[Muirium]

Oh yeah: 7bit, can I suggest a row 1 RA Escape key? I need to fix this:



Naturally, I need to add a blue function row kit.

HONEYB/F1TOF12/BLUE

But I still need that Round 4 SPH colour Escape key. In the right row!

[7bit]

I'm not sure I have them. I think these function row keys where all row 3 back in Round 4.


If you want one, you need to wait until Round 7, when we will have RA-red keys again.

[Muirium]

Round 7? By then I'll be an ooooooold man!

RA row 1 Escape is not that important. Just low hanging fruit. It's a nice bright change, even next to Round 5 RAS.

[7bit]

Just checked: ESCAPE and kbdrunner are the only red keys (both row 3).


We have 9 color-combinations already.


Do you want to be the one who is responsible for a further delay?

[Muirium]

No delay if you nuke that crap and swap in the good stuff!

If anyone ordered row 3 RA Escape, they can trade with me and whoever else is upgrading their Round 4 SPH. Row 3 function row is an error to be REPAIRed, not replicated.

[trankzen]

Hey there!

So I went to the post office to fetch those keycaps this morning. Feels great to walk back from there with all the good stuff my keyboard (Filco Majestouch 2 with MX-browns) has been waiting for. I spent a little while swapping keycaps with my son today, but there are two things I did not foresee:

- the stabilisers are loose and won't stay in place. Though they were perfect with the stock keys, it seems they're now just a little too slimto stay in their holes. That's especially annoying with the space bar, or the backspace key. Do I have to buy new stabilizers? Does anyone know where I could find some?

- My O-rings are now basically useless. Is it possible to somehow dampen those keys?

Thanks!

[7bit]

Let me guess: You have Filco stabilisers, not Cherry?


Solution:
Tear apart one of thse plastic bags that came for free with your key caps and use those little pieces to make the stbiliser inserts fit into the key-mounts.


O-rings:
I will never understand why people wnat to make their keyboard feel like a rubberdome!


Put a rubber-mat under your keyboard, but the clicky-clacky sound when bottoming out is 50% of the fun of mechanical keyboards, especially with thick key caps on.

[zslane]

Further delay???

Is that 7bit's German sense of humor throwing me off, or is he serious? Last week he said adding new stuff wouldn't impose any delays...

I mean, I love how accomodating 7bit is, but let's get this show on the road, shall we? As much as my imagination dances with ideas on how to fill a FUNCTION2 kit, I would gladly sacrifice the notion in order to kick this thing into production.

[7bit]

It is not my fault!


Useres like Muirium, facetsesame and zslane always want new stuff added!

[Elk]

I believe 7bit will not trigger production before Wotan appears to him in dream and blesses him to do so.

Our mere mortal wishes are of no importance.

Also, last night Belisama appeared to me in dream and said she would not allow this to come to pass if there not existed a set named HONEYB/FR/GREY.

[Muirium]

There are always delays. In fact, so many of them, first you must wait for the delays to arrive.

I'm not so concerned about that one key I asked for. If it doesn't exist, trash it.

[7bit]

"Belisama" not found. Did you mean "Melissa"?

[trankzen]

Let me guess: You have Filco stabilisers, not Cherry?

In my case that would be a combination of all those years typing on an old Olivetti ANK, and having to code at night with my SO sleeping in the same room.

I will try that trick with the stabilizers (yeah they're Filco) thanks!
