7bit knows what he has to do to get me to spring for a HYPER7 kit...

I'm curious, because I'm thinking about getting a HYPER7 kit, too [WINKING FACE]

[zslane]

Curious about what?

BTW, I believe that if at least one of us orders one, the price goes down $10.

[vinnycordeiro]

I wrote you a PM about this a few days ago after I asked 7bit in private.
It's HONEYB/SCOLON/CADET/SPH

I always forget to look at my PMs.

Great. Makes it even more attractive.

[zslane]

All he has to do is add a black numpad kit to my order.

I see!

... and now I remember the beautiful render of your home keyboard you have posted a few days ago.

Good luck!

[zslane]

Just to be clear, my invoice needs to have this:

HONEYB/NUMPAD/BLACK 2

I already have one HONEYB/NUMPAD/BLACK on my invoice. I guess I could settle for a HONEYB/NUMOP/BLACK instead, but I'd really prefer to have another complete numpad kit.

Why, you might ask? Because I also want to put this keyboard together:

Or maybe something like this:

It's all about having options...

[h3xadat]

I like the combination of grey alphas, black modifiers and red accents.

Did you made the renders?

[rominronin]

Holy sh*t renders these days are incredible.

[zslane]

I like the combination of grey alphas, black modifiers and red accents.

Yeah, me too. Dolch is one of my favorite colorways. Round 5/6 "Graphite" is basically Dolch but with neutral grays instead of (slightly) warm grays. I think an SA version of SP's Dolch, using GX/GE colors, would be awesome, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll settle for Round 6 Graphite instead.

Did you made the renders?

Yes. I think I would go crazy if I had to rely on someone else to do them.

I discovered the whole mechanical keyboard movement a few month ago. Unfortunately too late for 7bit's Round 6 in particular. I hope to find some sets in the after market to approach the Honeywell and "Graphite" color schemes.

Did you made the renders?

Yes. I think I would go crazy if I had to rely on someone else to do them.

Can you please tell us more about how you did the renders? Tools, models, etc? They look awesome.

[zslane]

Well, this thread isn't really the place to dive too deeply into the details, but I use SideFX Houdini to do all the layout and rendering. I created a "digital asset" representing a keycap, and I use 104 of them to represent a full-size keyboard, for instance. Each keycap node can be set to whatever family, row profile, color, font, or legend that I want, and positioned wherever I want. The various keycap and keyboard models I whipped up rather quickly using an old copy of Lightwave3D Modeler (with some massaging in Houdini to get them into their final form). My models aren't production-accurate, but they are good enough for getting keyset concepts across.

Below you can see what a typical session of Houdini looks like:

I know that the round 6 SPH and Grey are two different colours. do you have a photo for comparison? also how different are R5 grey and R6 grey? i was thinking of picking up some 1u blanks for my R6 order but i dont know if they would look good together. Thanks!

[zslane]

I believe there are some good comparison photos in the Round 5 Cappening thread. SPH gray and Honey GREY are very, very close. Very hard to tell apart.

Round 5 GREY and Round 6 GREY should be identical.

[rasness]

sweet! thanks! my orders are all phase 2 anyway, no harm in adding more to the order.

[Griffy]

About that, the grey is identical ok, but how is the legends?

Thanks for giving us an insight into this. Well thought out! This topic deserves a whole tutorial [WINKING FACE]

Hi 7bit,

I sent you a private message a while ago... perhaps a messago on this forum works better?

I just received the package for phase 1 of round 6, containing:

HONEYB/TKL/CADET
HONEYB/NUMPAD/CADET
HONEYB/SPACE625/SPH
HONEYB/SPACE625/BLUE

This makes me a very happy man! Thanks very much for your work on the group buy.

Unfortunately, the "up" key is missing from the package (it should be part of HONEYB/TKL/CADET)

I would very much appreciate if you could send me the missing key!

[Norman_]

Is the only difference between HONEYB/ALPHA/CADET/S and HONEYB/ALPHA/CADET/T the 1.5u backslash? There's no picture for the second one

7bit pls, i want to give you my money

It's just a simple question...It's probably been sold by now getting an answer has taken so long

[agburton]

Is it possible to change shipping to add tracking?

My order is #0732 if that helps at all.

[zslane]

Just send SHIPTRACKED to the 7bot.

I would say yes, the only difference ist the 1.5u BS. You can see the number of keycaps (51 : 50).
And normally, all kits we can see on the Leftovers page are still available. Unless the site wasn't updated quickly enough.

No, rubbish!

Code: Select all

order ID                   |keys|price|
HONEYG/ALPHA/CADET/R       | 55 | $59 |ALPHA_small_legends // comes with extra keys
HONEYB/ALPHA/CADET/S       | 51 | $49 |ALPHA_small_legends // just alpha keys
HONEYB/ALPHA/CADET/T       | 50 | $36 |ALPHA_small_no_vbslash // just alpha keys and no \| key

[dknsl]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum! If I want to buy some r6 leftovers, do I do this by sending a pm to the bot as per the instructions in the wiki? If so, do I need to write anything specific in the subject field or does anything go?

[zslane]

Correct; just send to 7bot. Subject doesn't matter (the bot will ignore it).

[dvjz.dh]

Hi all, it's three days i'm waiting a response from 7bot .
After placed the first order i've received an old order email but there isn't the new stuff ordered.
WASSUP it's not working , is it normal ?
Thank you,

Daniele

Thanks mate! How long does it typically take to recieve a confirmation?
