is this for leopold layout?
what are you doing for the spacebar

[dante]

The space bar looks Leopold FC200R compatible, no?

[stoic-lemon]

Pretty sure that is not the right size.

I'm almost certain it will work. I will compare my new Filco spherical 6.25 spacebar stems with my TypeNow Solid tonight. I can't actually install the spacebar onto the TNS, Diatec stupidly glued in the Costar stab inserts.

[dante]

Not sure if it's a stupid move.  Competing Cherry stabilizers won't get a chance to use them

I was planning on just gluing new stems into place but some people seem to think it will already fit, which would be great.

[metalliqaz]

The universal spacebars work on Leopold FC200Rs.  I don't know if the 660 uses the same spacebar as the 200.  If you have any other universal spacebars from SP, you can try it.

[aj-kun]

i went with this...now I just need a red KMAC.

[Dubsgalore]

These are tempting...and after hearing JD's sales pitch last night I think I may want to make an order...

[Hellmark]

Too bad they don't have an all black option like they do for the all red.

[Supergeek]

Too bad they don't have an all black option like they do for the all red.

All cobalt blue would be... beautiful.

Blue? What?

There are no blue caps in R5.

Yes there are.  R4 replacements.

But those are only available if you purchased R4 right?

[Belfong]

No, you can order them by sending a PM to 7bot.
But it is limited to the R4 repair kit.

[Pacifist]

but those SA caps look so good.....

[Glod]

I've learned people all over geekhack and dt talk **** everyday, a constant stream. he can talk stupid **** all he wants about geekhack, its not like hes murdering our people, hes still taking our money and selling good ****.

[Belfong]

This probably happened years ago but I do want to know why and what happened?

[metalliqaz]

They always antagonizing GH over on DT, it's part of the game.  Kinda like how both forums ****-talk Reddit.

[Halvar]

I can't take that too serious. There's quite a bit of DT mocking on GH, too. With 7bit, there's probably some history behind that from way before my time, I couldn't care less about that. To pick a side in any of this because I like one of the forums better would be silly.

New color for ANSI alphas:

[Hellmark]

Ooooh, now that I can get behind. Have to see if I will be able to afford it.

[metalliqaz]

He added black alphas??? OMG why!?  my wallet can't take it!

[SpAmRaY]

If I knew the wife wouldn't kill me I'd get everything

[swill]

If I knew the wife wouldn't kill me I'd get everything

Haha. I know the feeling.  Actually, to be fair, she is very supportive of my keyboard hobby. I have nothing to complain about.

[qbert]

Hi 7bit !

I'm sorry if the thread here is not appropriate for my question, or if my question is not appropriate at all, but...
IN THE NAME OF GOD, IS THERE ANY WAY TO ORDER A MISSING ROUND 4 GREY/BLUE KIT I FORGOT DURING LAST ROUND ??   

I do not know how SP is managing orders, but, after all, this is SPH too, they just have to change the colours ! 

[metalliqaz]

There is not.

[dorkvader]

I would say the forums mostly have a health level of teasing / mocking that occasionally is unhealthy, but such is the nature of these sort of things. I had some of this directed to me once, and was a bit miffed, but I've moved on, and I hope everyone else has too.

To pick a side in any of this because I like one of the forums better would be silly.

I really like your attitude though. If only more users thought the same!

With the new colours, I wonder if it's better to fet a base kit, and a dvorak set. hmm.

[Photoelectric]

If anyone is not going to need their off-center Caps Lock cap (gray), please let me buy it from you   Just figured I'd ask in advance.

[kenmai9]

I literally want everything.. but I must sacrifice.
Ended up getting the base tkl set and red alphas. I know I'm going to want black keys too though

[osxoep]

Does the Sixty pack come with a 1.75 unit shift? I think it does, but I'm worrying because orders are closing D:

I did the math and instead of getting a 60% kit, I got the $59 TKL kit and added the 1.75 shift and a lotus for the Fn key as well as a couple other single keys.  Unless you are buying the 60% for additional keys, it is probably cheaper to just get the cheapest TKL kit and add a few keys...

I think I kept it realistic.  In the ballpark of $150 I think.  I got one set which will work for any config of 60%, 75% or TKL and I also got a 40% set because, well, it was there and is so perty...  Now I just need to get a 40% board.  Haha...

This is the layout I'm wanting:
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/1c9eec56f7258f958042c6434ee926e8
(Redblue key is my 3d clack)

In the end it's going to cost $126 ($130.83 after shipping and PayPal fees)
I ordered:
HONEY/SIXTYISO/BASE
HONEY/ALPHAUK
HONEY/FUNCTION2 (I want that interrobang...)
HONEY/WASD/RED
HONEY/JRET/RED
HONEY/SPACE700
HONEY/REDESCAPE/R1
HONEY/NUMPAD

I probably could have made it cheaper, but it's too complicated.

[metalliqaz]

Suddenly I realize that I am spending $250 on a single keyset.  That's the same amount I spent on my Typenow Solid.  I don't need them that badly.

Yeah, but do you need all of those? My total is ~$100 for everything that could fit on a Duck LightSaver, even +tsangan sized caps and both 6.25x and 7x spacebars (novelty caps included).  And standard TKL kit is so cheap for thick doubleshots.

[metalliqaz]

I was ordering the basic Honeywell color scheme with enough keys to cover most any ANSI keyboard layout.

[jdcarpe]

I was ordering the basic Honeywell color scheme with enough keys to cover most any ANSI keyboard layout.

And that was $250?

Just get STANDARD125 or TKL plus NUMPAD/GREY or NUMPAD/BLACK.

I also ordered too much in the beginning, but I just trimmed it down.

You definitely want FORTY.

[metalliqaz]

40% WAY too small.  I'm a TKL man, as evidenced by my collection. 

[swill]

I got a TKL set and a 40% set as well as a numpad set and a few extra keys to cover all 60% and 75% layouts (that I would use anyway).  It cost me $155...

@jdcarpe: These keycaps better be as good as you claim they are.  I am holding you responsible.   

Edit:  My order...
Order-ID              |Description                     |Qty|
HONEY/TKL             |TKL kit                         |  1|
HONEY/FORTY           |40 percent kit                  |  1|
HONEY/NUMPAD          |Numpad white/grey kit           |  1|
HONEY/SHIFT175        |SHIFT key 1.75 units (row 3)    |  1|
HONEY/TILDEBPRIME/GREY|tilde backprime (row 1; grey)   |  1|
HONEY/VERTBSL150/GREY |vertical backslash (row 2; grey)|  1|
HONEY/REDESCAPE/R1    |ESCAPE key (row 1; red)         |  1|
HONEY/SPACE625        |Space (6.25 units white)        |  2|
HONEY/KBDRUNNER/RED   |Keyboard runner (row 1; red)    |  1|
HONEY/KBDRUNNER/RED/R2|Keyboard runner (row 2; red)    |  2|
HONEY/KBDRUNNER/RED/R3|Keyboard runner (row 3; red)    |  2|
HONEY/LOTUS100        |Lotus key (row 3; grey)         |  8|
BLANK/R3U100/GREY     |blank key (grey)                |  8|
BLANK/R3U100D/GREY    |blank key deep dish (grey)      |  2|

[SpAmRaY]

I just ordered a bunch of random stuff, hopefully it goes together.

[Hellmark]

One thing that kinda bugs me is that the Up and shift keys for some of the sets are row 3, when the rest of the keys for the row they are in are row 4.

[jdcarpe]

40% WAY too small.  I'm a TKL man, as evidenced by my collection. 

* jdcarpe looks at metalliqaz' avatar.

Looks 36% to me.
