Round 7 / ALGOL-style / Deadline 2018-11-30

7bot · 12 Sep 2016, 21:05

20% rebate on all Round 7 orders.

update:
The first kits to be produced will be:
VIOLETT and CREAMVIOLETT

The madness has started!

The Style is named ALGOL to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the ALGOL Programming language in 2018!

Colors will be grey, red, green, blue, violett on cream,
plus cream on grey, red, green, blue, violett.

This time, the bot created a website, so it is easier for it to upload content:

-----> Round 7 <-----
--------------------->

Please read the Round 6 wiki How to order

To send an order, you still have to pm the bot: ----> Send Order<----

Production will be separate for each color and will start with the most successful color, once there are enough orders.

Until 31 May 2017, there is a 20% rebate on all Round 7 orders.

I see you set an ambitious goal for the finalization of this GB!

Your web page's console is whining to me:

Amazing!

7bit · 12 Sep 2016, 22:05

Try again.

Jessicup · 12 Sep 2016, 22:30

Welp, time to get in on this one. Don't give a damn what the shipping time is like.

Techno Trousers · 12 Sep 2016, 22:36

Oh my. That has to be the largest number of group buy combinations I've ever seen.

seebart · 12 Sep 2016, 22:49

OK I have to admit this is tempting although not cheap at $140. I'm sure if I order now I can get the set around christmas 2017.

You forget the 25% rebate, so it is only $105 and even better: Some prices might go down, becuase the pricing is quite conservative.

If blue is the most ordered color, 2017 is doable.

Fixed that for you.

Also ... any chance for DENOSE or NORDE kits with the ALGOL or ASCII seconday legends?

At least in the most popular colors ... ?

t8c · 12 Sep 2016, 22:59

Such beautiful madness. Only needs white on black or white on HONEY gray for media keys and all the symbol modifiers!

Now you're talking. 7bit is quite the promoter.

yay for the tux novelties!

eddible · 12 Sep 2016, 23:26

Aw no UK kits this time?

priyadi · 12 Sep 2016, 23:34

No love for blanks? No colemak and dvorak layout?

Implement some kind of search function please. I used to use browser's ctrl-F with the previous format, it is impossible to do that now

RoostrC0gburn · 12 Sep 2016, 23:35

what happened to hyper7 kits?

eddible · 12 Sep 2016, 23:38

Also, where is the ISO key down by the Z? It isn't anywhere else so it seems to render any of the ISO kits useless as you'd be missing a key next to your shift!

As in these keys in the various colours: wiki/File:HONEYB_VERTBSL_R4_SPH.png

Very nice selection 7bit. You have been busy.

MaNiFeX · 13 Sep 2016, 01:23

7bit * Round7 = 49 different layout color options.

Love the cream/purple.

webwit · 13 Sep 2016, 01:49

HAS IT SHIPPED YET?

(first!)

Jessicup · 13 Sep 2016, 03:13

Am I missing something, or are there only 1.75u shifts in gray and green?

No violet makes me very sad

Edit: And no 1.5u R2 backspace

I want to join this so badly, but with literally no HHKB support, I can't justify it

This shit is bananas.

jebbra · 13 Sep 2016, 05:52

Can we get the color chip code for each color used? And just realize the color distribution isn't as broad as last round (no blue 1u shift when there are another blue mods available). Or I just not yet see it? The website quite confusing tbh hehe.

I believe we're looking at 2017 just for the website to finish loading all the pictures. JK 7bit, it's actually loading really fast, much faster than the wiki for R6.

Seconded. Lil guy is melting my jaded, sarcastic heart.

you did it! this is possibly more complicated than before

gosh, too many options... I don't even know where to start from

priyadi · 13 Sep 2016, 08:38

This is some very impressive scripting out there, 7bit! I can't imagine doing all this manually using Adobe Illustrator like someone suggested before.

nowai · 13 Sep 2016, 08:43

why are you doing this to me and my wallet?
