D: That's a bummer. I guess I won't buy any then, the mold marks on my Leopold bother me as it is. Why can't they get their act together?

I don't mind them. you don't even see them once the keys are in place.

They are not a big problem for me, neither. I'm more concerned about SP screwing up again on some keys. 7bit may have made fool-proof instructions, but we are talking about SP here.....

Plague is an awfully strong word for sprue marks.

I'll update the bot once I get some info from 7bit.

Shlt, I'm not going to have kids because they'll probably have that crappy navel where the umbilical cord got cut off. Makes about as much sence. Not to be poking fun at anyone or anything.

Hmm. Well, they would look odd with navels on their faces

XD Oh my. Hadn't thought about that. Now I'll never have kids.
Just kidding, obviously. I like your joke though.
Gah, I should just get some. I noticed even the Model M keycaps have sprue marks, which never bothered me. It just feels risky to purchase keycaps without knowing exactly how they will look until after the order has gone through, and to top it off nobody seems to trust SP for their accuracy.

>nathaniel_h
That is why you pay a small amount first as a test. If they fail, you know not to bid on their service. In life, that is all we do, bid/risk.

andrewjoy · 13 Aug 2012, 10:12

With the size of this order you would think they would do a sample of each set beforehand

bebuxe · 13 Aug 2012, 10:38

Those are for the rich kids.

megnin · 13 Aug 2012, 12:12

I don't think I've ever seen a keycap that didn't have some little mold sprue, even Topres. They are usually small and on the back of the key where you never see them once on a keyboard. A little mold sprue doesn't bother me. It would if it was on the top or front of the key though.

yellowFreak · 13 Aug 2012, 13:56

One quick question, is there any keycaps on the orderlist for R4 that had media keys layout on function keys starting from F1?

This seems to be the closest you get.

Enter and some versions of shift. You can add SPH/MRET which is full-width but has a matte rather than semi-matte finish.

andrewjoy · 13 Aug 2012, 16:56

I sent the money for the invoice and my address to 7bit_R4 do i still need to send the message for the payment method ?

Wouldn't ROUND3/MUSIC/ORANGE [Picture on page 42] be sufficient too? Or is orange a no-go because do you want them in grey?

mr_frag · 13 Aug 2012, 18:21

NOIR kit has symbols or letters? i mean, in the pictures show symbols not control, alt, etc...

blighty · 13 Aug 2012, 20:46

Payments from bebuxe and andrewjoy have been received and marked as shipped for Paypal purposes (to keep them from locking up the PP account). Invoices may or may not reflect the payments yet. Keep checking this thread for the actual ship date.

All Symbols!

Ah, that's where I saw the music kit, I was sure I had seen it somewhere, just couldn't find it in the wiki. It also comes in retro, but yea, other than that, orange is the only one available.

bebuxe · 13 Aug 2012, 22:30

>blighty
Thanks. Emailed you my name, in case it was not on the shipping address.

Off to work now!

>andrewjoy
Yeah, so that the bot saves the Payment method made to transfer the funds to 7bit I assume. So in US, you say just:
PAYPAL

That's all

Wait a bit until I throw out people who did not pay.

When is the time of execution of the 'throw out people who did not pay' plan?

bebuxe · 14 Aug 2012, 04:36

I want to say let it be August 8/30. But I am not 7bit to say.

Sent from a workstation.

I don't have any way of making sure your name ends up on the label of the package. If you want to make sure your name is on the shipping label, email the bot 7bit_r4 http://deskthority.net/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=770 like the example below:

ADDRESS
H. Simpson <--- Name here
123 Fake Street <--- Street addy
Springfield, OH
89359
USA

Hope that helps.

Elrick · 14 Aug 2012, 09:47

So 7bit, with these remaining key-sets are you still accepting orders and payment?

I would buy some but now waiting for the pay cheque to arrive.

Hence need to know if you are still open for business.

Is there some kind of absolute deadline envisioned or are you just wanting to clear what's left on this list, you have just posted?
