ps: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round4_Blanks does not contain all those codes, hence the question.

ps2: run svp!

It is the SP-look, as shown somewhere in the wiki.

Please be aware that for ROUND3 style it is just the word WINDOWS.

off · 04 Jul 2012, 19:15

The word windows? That contrasts nicely with the description then (and the availability of a separate windowstxt kit)!
So....?

And if text, are we talking Win or Windows for Retro? (specifically, retro/windows125)

Since I'm not feeling going in yet again to somehow find the image that shows the SP symbol, would someone happen to know which look it resembles ('95 or the current one)?

7bit · 04 Jul 2012, 19:18

Retro and Noir come with the windows flag and Round3 and SPH come with text.

Maybe I should update the wiki a bit....

kint · 04 Jul 2012, 19:29

for Retro it should read "DOS" !
scnr.

Nonsense! All it needs is Super or Hyper etc.

off · 04 Jul 2012, 20:07

*bah* on the 'super' and 'hyper'
At least 'dos' is properly multi-system: pc-dos, freedos, ms-dos, q-dos, 86-dos, etc!

Would still dig a set with just 'super' and 'win' though, just for giggles.

PS: person who ordered:
ROUND3/WINDOWSTXT125........|..1|sold.out....|$12
You miiiiight want to switch to:
ROUND3/WINDOWS..............|..4|1.left......|$18
Seeing how it has (I think 3x) more keys, for just 1.5x the price.
And in light of 7bit's remark on this page, should contain those keys as well.

*edit: Ah, found a windows symbol; probably the one you meant as the one SP uses, it's the modern one.

7bit · 04 Jul 2012, 20:36

CP/M is missing!

In fact, DOS and everything derived from it is pure shit.

off · 04 Jul 2012, 21:19

Naaaah, DOS was fun.
Anything* using HYPER, SUPER or META sounds like shit!

naturally excluding super hyper street fighter II turbo

JmactheAttack · 04 Jul 2012, 21:44

Is the R4 status on the wiki page correct? If so, what is the current ETA for these beauties?

7bit · 04 Jul 2012, 21:55

I'm afraid not.

Just order whatever is left over. I hope to be able to pay SP around next week.

I still hope to find an American who can collect some money...

GB Update: Payments received between July 1 and July 4:

Initials only:
NM - $XX.89 Thanks
CSK - $XXX.92 Thanks
LN - $XX.00 Thank you!
LSB - $XX.64 Thanks
JS - $XX.49 Thanks
NP - $XX.07 Thanks
MW - $XX.21 Thanks
JM - $xx.00 Thanks
JM - $x.00 Thank you!

FYI - Paypal will send you an email today saying your item is marked as shipped. When I record your payment for processing I mark it in Paypal with "Mark as Shipped" so that Paypal does not lock the account which it has been known to do if "Goods" are not shipped within a certain time after payment and I don't know what that time is. Your caps will actually ship after 7bit receives them and ships them to you. Your invoices will not reflect this payment right now, but will shortly. Check it in 24-48 hours.

Thank you for your timely payments!!!

7bit, I was offline for a while due to rl issues and am a bit overdue with the payment for the second invoice. Is it too late now or can I still wire you the other half?

Acanthophis · 05 Jul 2012, 22:52

^ Do it!

Just wire as much as you can!!!

Also: Please order more!

MegalomaniaC · 06 Jul 2012, 09:10

Just ordered:

RETRO/ES
RETRO/SPACE
RETRO/STDRGBY
RETRO/ARROWJRET

I hope there are still these sets available :3

ps: This one fits completly a Filco 105 iso keyboard right? :>

JmactheAttack · 06 Jul 2012, 10:40

Megnin and/or 7bit,

When can we expect these recent orders to ship?

rindorbrot · 06 Jul 2012, 10:47

Probably it will take a while.
7bit said he hopes to be able to pay SP next week. After that, production of the caps can begin.
So you're better not in a hurry

off · 06 Jul 2012, 12:41

Anyone, I'm looking for a second sph/kbdrunner cap, and was hoping someone ordered a bunch too many and was willing to let one go.

If you do, please pm me; thanks in advance!

lapin00b · 06 Jul 2012, 13:33

OMG, I could not refrain from buying more

JSchool · 07 Jul 2012, 08:51

I'm confused. Do I need to send a new order list here on Deskthority? Once the already complicated order process got even more so and I was supposed to send a text message to someone and then there wasn't anyone to collect money in the US I just kind of checked out on this GB over at Geekhack. But there are a lot of keys I'd really like to have.

Delphox · 07 Jul 2012, 12:29

What? we need to do a new order now??

Acanthophis · 07 Jul 2012, 14:22

No...

megnin · 07 Jul 2012, 14:58

To check on your order send a message to: 7bit_r4
There is a link on the OP. You can either add an item or change anything already on your order. If you just want to check your existing order, just send something like this, with no new line after your email address:

XXXXXXXX 0
EMAIL myemail@address.com

If the invoice message you get doesn't contain what you expect, then let 7bit know. When I came to DT after GH went down and ordered some more stuff, that created a new invoice ID instead of using my original GH invoice ID, but it may have been because I used a different email address, I'm not sure. Anyway, 7bit consolidated the orders and everything was fine.
Yeah, I'm excited about these keys, too. That RETRO/STDRGBY set is awesome!

Your account is already accessible via DT, so stop complaining and just order more!

Also: Please wait for an invoice with payment instructions to show up.

FYI - Payment update.

7/5 mrog,$xx.59 USD
7/5 luma,$xx.5 USD
7/5 jnsjr,$xx.02 USD
7/6 kungfugeek,$xx.55 USD
7/6 namutable,$xxx.15 USD
7/6 VPX,$xxx USD
7/6 biolaser,$xxxx.77 USD
7/6 tubby,$xxx.8 USD
7/7 niz,$xx.32 USD
7/7 noGG,$xx.13 USD

The above payments have been received since 07/05. You will very shortly receive an email from Paypal saying that your items have been "Marked as Shipped". The shipping company will be listed as "7bit" and the "tracking number" will be your invoice ID. I'm marking them as "Marked as Shipped" to keep Paypal from locking the account. Just know that your keycaps still have to be manufactured and will actually ship after 7bit receives them. Give your invoice a day or two to be updated with your latest payment.

And, of course, thank you for your timely payments. That's going to be very important as this GB gets nearer completion.

edit:
ped. I got your payment for $xx.56 USD today after processing the others. Yours will be in the next batch.

edit #2:

Namutable
VPZ
niz

You three will not get the email from Paypal about shipping. You seem to have selected a different payment option. Not a problem, just different.

Namutable and VPZ you probably selected "Services" instead of "Goods"? That's fine.

niz, your payment was not charged a Paypal fee. I expect you may have payed as "Gift"?

(This is to everyone:) Paypal fees are "built into" the price. There is no need to pay as Gift or to pay any extra. Paying as Gift may actually endanger the account being locked if Paypal suspects a retail business being run and they not getting their "cut" as fees.
So, please use "Goods" (you'll get the "shipped" from 7bit email from Paypal) or "Services" (no "shipping" for services so no email) -THNX

I paid to a german, ***, via SEPA last week. Hopefully that isn't considered too revealing. I paid on the 4th. I don't know how long these transfers usually take, but let me know when they have arrived so that I know that everything went ok. Thx

megnin · 09 Jul 2012, 15:04

7bit, correct me if I'm wrong... I think we still need someone in the US to help collect money for this group buy.
