Round 5 and Round 6 kits for sale!

[7bit]

I don't have much time, currently.


I must prepare all keylists and SVG graphics by Monday. After that, I can answer questions again and pack and ship stuff.

Will we be able to add to our order after the deadline? Are we only locked from removing?

Yes.

[lifeinvader]

@infodroid
What do you mean by 'how long have you got?'
@7bit
So you don't take new orders till after monday?

[tofagerl]

Confirmed: 7bit is dying!

[Muirium]

Everyone is dying. Now cross your legs and say ommmmmmmmmmm.


@newbs: These "deadlines" are all total horseshit by 7bit to make you pay up. The caps won't even be made until many, many months from now. And you can keep ordering them the whole time.

[scottc]

Horseshit indeed!

It also means he has until Monday to fix the [( and )] keys on the CADET base kit. Because if those are going to be conventional [{,}] keys instead of the more authentic [(,)] then I don't need the separate kit for them and I can swap for something else. But even then, he's got to turn them around 180 degrees. Fix that shit, 7bit! I know the CADET set is important to you too, so I know you want to get it right as much as I do.

Hi 7bit, I sent you a PM but I guess it stays in outbox means you won't get it. Can you please modify my order number because I forgot to include it in the note with my payment...
Thank you!

Thank you!

All items in the Outbox look like they haven't been sent, but they have. 7bit is just busy with the Cadet layout and the deadline.

ah i see. thank you!

The new ordering systems (for submitting the order to SP, not the 'bot') seems to be complete.


Now, I will get through the wishlists posted in this thread and complete the kits ...

The hands look cool. Who designed them for you?

How on earth will you pay for all these new legends?

And why not fix some of Gorton's uglier glyphs: like that O of a Q? IBM did a much nicer job on beamspring.

[7bit]

Should the HONEYB/TKLISOBASE/* kits have an Alt Gr instead of one of the Alt keys?

[zslane]

The [(,)] keys are back. Yay!

Now what happened to the <{,}> keycaps? Not that I intend to use them, but I'm curious why they don't appear on the list of new legends in those posts above.

[7bit]

These are just 2 pages, so you can see how the result of the new ordering system looks like.

[7bit]

So from what I can tell, amongst all the kits in Round 5a there are only four (4) keys that come in 1.75u size: Caps Lock, Control, Shift, and triangle.

Now, I don't know any keyboards/layouts that put a shift key in the Caps Lock position, so for those keyboards which use that key position for neither Caps Lock nor (swapped) Control, the only option is to use the triangle symbol. Do I have that correct, or am I missing something?

As an additional point to this, a 1.25u and 1.5u Caps Lock would help those switching Caps Lock and Control.

I will add these to the MODEXTRA kits.

Interesting.

But also strangely unnerving. It feels like knowledge We (buyers) Were Not Meant to Have.

[7bit]

7bit, can you please add the stepped caps lock to the ordering system, because currently, when i place an order for the caps lock, it automatically assumes i am getting the regular caps lock, even though the wiki shows both caps locks...

Single stepped CAPS LOCK added.

Price is currently at $7, but I need to get a new price quote ...

[7bit]

Any chance to add some HONEYB/SPACE300/* space bars? Or is there any 3u blank normal key I can use for my Filco Minila?

These where not so really popular.


In which color do you need it?

[7bit]

Any chance of ever seeing the hashbang or vim SA keys get produced again?

HONEY/HASHBANG (or whatever)
HONEY/VIM (4 colors + original green please =)

i want....

Green would be impossible.


I've got to think about the 2 ...

[7bit]

Hi Miurium/7bit,

Is there any chance in the future there will be blanks for the rest of the keys that are currently unavailable? (i.e. Row 3: 125, 175, 200, 225, 275, numpad '+', and numpad 'Enter'). I'd really love to build a blank keyboard with a few highlights.

Thanks. I appreciate your group buy.

I will add the missing blank keys ...

[7bit]

Very nice...

Now get production started please!

Yes! Right after we get HONEYB/MODEXTRA100/WHITE...

I doubt I will ever add them:
HONEYB/MODEXTRA100/BLACK|4
HONEYB/MODEXTRA100/BLUE|7
HONEYB/MODEXTRA100/GREY|4
HONEYB/MODEXTRA100/RED|3
HONEYB/MODEXTRA100/VIOLETT|2

[7bit]

Any chance for tab and caps lock in 1u keys? Like in Round 5?

Which rows?

[t8c]

Any chance for tab and caps lock in 1u keys? Like in Round 5?

Which rows?

t8cs wishlist

Tab 1u key Row 2

Caps Lock 1u Key Row 3

Alpha Lock 1.75 Row 3

That's all

[7bit]

Colors?

[t8c]

Colors?

Black key, white text!

[romevi]

Not sure whether this was an option, but any way to add a 1u R3 Fn? This way I can pair it with a 1.75u right Shift, a la HHKB.

[7bit]

Code: Select all

 cat tmp/keysperkit.val | grep FN | grep "R3[|]U100"
HONEYB/MODBASE/CADET|9|R3|U100|NN:BFP|FN

You should be passing grep a filename as an argument instead of catting and then piping! I'm very disappointed in you, 7bit.

[infodroid]

These keys in HONEYB/FUNCTION make sense to me:
TAB, BACK SPACE, DELETE, ERASE, NO, YES, STOP, GO, OPEN, CLOSE, RUN, FN (or FUN), END, HELP.

These, I want for the fun of it:
MAGIC, XMIT, DUCK, 7BIT MODE, 7BOT MODE

I'm not sure about TAB, BACK SPACE, DELETE, END. Aren't they already in other sets?

Here are some more ideas for HONEYB/FUNCTION or similar:
ATTN
HOLD
CLEAR
CMD
KILL
ROOT
POWER
READY
LAUNCH
