Wow what a beast! Thanks for posting. I can see why you thought of this calculator when you saw the z-series capsduynguyenle wrote: ↑ Hi Bob,
I don't remember what model exactly, it belonged to my old teacher, we get to use it if you forget your calculator at home, it was quite basic and didn't have all the modern functions (trigonometry and such), so no one wanted to use it. It was some old soviet era calculator, but it looked similar to this:
Code: Select all
Terminal terminal terminal!
You know Joe, after the Skidata round, I wouldn't mind if you do a run for the Terminal colourwayyorktronic wrote: ↑Code: Select all

Looks like you're in luck, both of them are running (Skidata will run as a full set and Radaway is running a Plank kit only)MaNiFeX wrote: ↑I'm definitely interested in either RAd-away or Skidata!
No mixing and matching, though! Skidata is going to be Q-series and Rad-Away is planned to be K-series. Choose wisely
Seems too likely to joke about, they sure seem to play hard to getUKKeycaps wrote: ↑Devlin have a policy of answering only one email per month
Just kidding, I'll push them for more info.
Look, doing things like answering emails may well lead to even more work. You've got to be careful with those kinds of things
Look like the Siemens caps on the late Chyros review review-f45/siemens-k1197-review-siemens ... 14657.htmlduynguyenle wrote: ↑Ah I see, looks very different.

The Z-series are quite unique, here is a render from the Devlin website:
I have a concern though, on your website, the item page for the upcoming Skidata set lists the buy as being limited to 100 sets, should I place a preorder? Seems like 100 sets will go pretty quick
Thanks for the updateUKKeycaps wrote: ↑Still working it out with Devlin, hopefully soon. All depends on how fast they decide to answer queries.
Based on the font, I can say with 95% certainty that the caps in that video are Z-Series.mecano wrote: ↑Look like the Siemens caps on the late Chyros review review-f45/siemens-k1197-review-siemens ... 14657.htmlduynguyenle wrote: ↑Ah I see, looks very different.

The font on the caps in the video is the font defined in the German standard DIN 1451:1951, which is what Siemens used for doubleshot caps until the late 1980s / early 90s. The zylindrical part of the keycaps is slightly elliptical as exactly is described in a (withdrawn) Siemens patent from 1979, whereas the Devlin ones seem to be perfectly round. The colours are the well-known shades of taupe, beige (for function keys) and green (for cursor keys) that are typical for Siemens keycaps of that era. The cap mount is RAFI-like, not Cherry MX. So it is not much likely that Devlin, this little Hampshire company, incorporated in 2011, made these keycaps for a keyboard made before 1990 by big Siemens, a trust that ran its own caps production, the original moulds of which are known to be in Berlin.UKKeycaps wrote: ↑Based on the font, I can say with 95% certainty that the caps in that video are Z-Series
I'd be in to grab both, though it would be fantastic if Rad were available as a full set in the future.
whats the difference between the two series ?Bob wrote: ↑No mixing and matching, though! Skidata is going to be Q-series and Rad-Away is planned to be K-series. Choose wisely
