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

[priyadi]

I'm thinking split right shift should be standard now (U175 + U100). Split spacebar options should also be available, VE.A style (U275 + U200 + U100) and minivan style (U200).

"?12 ?13 ?14 ?15" What's up with those question marks? Are those intentional?

[Wodan]

I will keep asking this but can we PLEHEASE get international kits with the secondary ALGOL/ASCII legends?

Maybe just in the most common alpha colors ... but that would REALLY complete the special theme of this round!
Quite a bummer the amazing space cadet caps were only available in ANSI-US layout, maybe we can up the game one step this time?

[priyadi]

Can't seem to find that "L" key anywhere. What game are you playing now, 7bit?

[Wodan]

The little guy in the secondary L legend is 7bit with a briefcase full of Round7 funds

[7bit]

Aw no UK kits this time?

Help yourself:

Code: Select all

HONEYB/UK/GREY                 | 9|USD|UK grey kit
HONEYB/UK/RED                  | 9|USD|UK red kit
HONEYB/UK/SPH                  | 9|USD|UK grey kit
HONEYB/UK/BLUE                 | 9|USD|UK blue kit
HONEYB/UK/VIOLETT              | 9|USD|UK violett kit
HONEYB/UK/CREAM                | 9|USD|UK cream kit
HONEY/UK/BLACK                 |10|USD|UK black language kit

I second this. International/ISO support for all the colour ways would also be so good. I love the violet but no ISO kit.

I'm unsure if it is possible to make that legend. But I might try ...

What about A-Z keys with funny symbols like this one on them?

[7bit]

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

what happened to hyper7 kits?

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

These come later. There are still some HYPER7 kits available from Round 6!

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 will add these missing keys later.

[maximm]

So there will only be internatiönäl kits för the grey/cream?

[nowai]

I'd really like to see a row 3 and 4 key for '\ |'.
For us poor souls using US International on an ISO keyboard.

It was HONEYB/VERTBSL/ in Round 6.

I asked about this before. It needs to exist as the 1.25U shift is in the ISO kit. Without VERTBSL the ISO kits aren't usable.

[lolpes]

trying to decide if I am going to buy these for me or for my future kids when the keycaps finally arrive

[7bit]

Kill me

Same.

pkill romevi Wodan

[2]+ Terminated Wodan
done!

HAS IT SHIPPED YET? (first!)

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.

yay for the tux novelties!

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

The wiki is slowed down by Daniel Beardsmore editing so much.

Now that you mentioned it, a keyboard filled with alpha-emoji keycaps together with some QMK firmware hacking will seriously increase my cool factor standing in the family. Not to mention it would be a great conversation opener with those ladies in coffee shops too.

[7bit]

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

you did it! this is possibly more complicated than before

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

It is easier for me because I don't need to do much more than running a little script to generate and upload the complete content.

Try the NEXT and PREV buttons to move forward and backward.

"?12 ?13 ?14 ?15" What's up with those question marks? Are those intentional?

These are placeholders. Nothing is final yet. Suggest some legends there or suggest changes to legends you might find useless or out of proportion!


Also: Try to guess what they mean.

I've got to see what I can do, but these sell always very badly ...

Already responded you by pm but didn't read the thread to this point. If these are placeholders, here are suggestions:

Forgot to tell how surprised, impressed and delighted I was discovering this post today!
Great work, the Web page is just what was needed! that'll be a great round!

Well this should only affect the alpha keys anyway since the secondary legends of the numeric row is unaffected. Would just be very interesting to see how many extra keys are actually needed for a ASCII/ALGOL/CADET International/NORDE kit.

At least in the most popular colors like GREY-ON-CREAM and BLUE-ON-CREAM

What MOQ is required for these kits? 25pcs ?

[mecano]

Better split to go along your insert/extract keys design:

Have no clue the two arrows with ! and ? could be use for, who needs an interrupt/panic or help key?
Also the left arrow looks like a ALGOL/CURSYM duplicate.

Is that really a coton iron symbol in ALGOL/MODSYM? What if I need to iron silk?

[mecano]

HAS IT SHIPPED YET? (first!)

How do you find the new duck symbol?

[salasource]

Code: Select all

ALGOL/INTER/GREY — (DE, DK, NO, SE layout | $89)
ALGOL/INTER/CREAM — (DE, DK, NO, SE layout | $89)

No more international options other than these two?

And no ALGOL/SIXTYBASE/RGB/CREAM only ALGOL/TKLBASE/RGB/CREAM

[lukenukum]

these are MEGA. is the red and blue the same colour as the most recent honey kits?

The shift-style arrow with ? is search forward and with ! is replace forward.


That other arrow is backspace.


Not sure about the iron symbols, maybe one too many. The idea behind them is to iron out errors, like undo or so
