Thanks for the more visible post.  Better than talking about it in the Round4 thread.  This will be a nice looking set.

[Flamingchook]

Must. Resist.

[SpAmRaY]

Am I the only one that gets the Nintendo feels looking at these!!

[goobus]

Stupid question, but how are cherry/OEM profile spacebar profiles different from SA?

[dorkvader]

Oddly enough, my several honeywell keyboards have a different colour scheme. Fortunately it's already been done on one (coffee/cream is a lot like retro dsa) and the other's ugly. Then again, my honeywell keyboards are at least 8 years older than the one this is modeled after.

This looks very well organized: I hope it'll take less time than R4 did, and I'm glad Dvorak is again an option. I'll have to decide what keyboard I want these on: a normal TKL or a lightsaver.

Dear lord....
that is one sexy keyset....

There were a few pokers that were posted ages ago that gave me more of a Nintendo feeling.  They were more light gray and dark gray with touches of black or orange.

This is a fine lookin keyset.

[goobus]

Just ordered the TKL set with red number row.  Wonder how that would look..

It's going to look classy as ****.

[hashbaz]

I wish we had renders of various kit combos together on a keyboard.  This is some expensive stuff.

[bazemk1979]

wow if you try to get red/black combo for 104 board you'll end up paying $200 or more yikes!!!

[jdcarpe]

But HONEY/FORTY is only $39!!

My invoice is currently $300 :ouch:

^^ this is why I need to sell some things...otherwise I'll feel bad for spending all the monies.....

[n0rvig]

Oh lordy. This is some beautiful retro keys. I like that the waiting time looks much shorter than for the legendary R4

[TheFlyingRaccoon]

Yes! I am very tempted to get a set for my 40%. Really happy 7bit included it.

Yes, THIS!

I'm having a lot of trouble to choose the kits I need...

Damn, then you certainly don't want to know my bill  .  But considering I'm such an addict for these things I suppose it's quite natural to be wallet-raped on every occasion here.

[swill]

This is dangerous...  :\

[Belfong]

The red and black kit are all row 3. Wouldn't that make the keyboard a bit flat throughout? I was in on the red and black as it looked sexy only to realise it would make my Poker too flat. I wonder why he went with all row 3.

[piraterice]

it looks good~

[pasph]

Ergodox kit:

Price: $59

[Belfong]

If I get the TKL kit, can I also use it for Poker? It looks to be compatible. Doesn't make sense for me to also get a SIXTY.

Yup, the only extra thing you need is a row 1 esc key.

[Belfong]

Thanks for the confirmation. Much appreciated!

And space bar too .. Which is the 625.

[SpAmRaY]

Love the fact DT folks feel the need to talk crap about geekhack while at the same time wanting us to participate in their group buys....

[Belfong]

I wonder if there were any bad blood before. Anyway I find GH more noob friendly! Yay you guys!

Too right.  Let's not get defensive because spreading the love of keyboards is the main mission here  .

[stoic-lemon]

That was a hard choice. I see many amendments in my future.

[Krogenar]

Love the fact DT folks feel the need to talk crap about geekhack while at the same time wanting us to participate in their group buys....

Why would they feel that way towards GH in the first place?

Did GH put DT in a double jock lock in high school? An atomic wedgie?

Are these MX-compatible by any chance?

EDIT: Judging by the responses, they would be. Would consider if they were PBT, but sadly not..

[Lu_e]

Really like this set, and I've yet to try DSA... just can't got back to ABS. Signature Plastics really needs to expand on their PBT line, or people need to organize more SP PBT buys! Spacebar needs to be PBT! why are they so scare to make them?

Round 4 had different colors right? white on grey alphas or something? love that look

[Belfong]

Round 4 is grey and blue. I love it too but alas, it started way before I met GH.

[CPTBadAss]

Really like this set, and I've yet to try DSA... just can't got back to ABS.

This buy is SA profile, not DSA. SA caps are very thick.

[osxoep]

Am I right in thinking that the SPACE150 is just a blank R3 1.5 key? Or will it have a weird stem placement?
I was thinking about using that for a function key in place of a control in a 1.5 mod layout.

[Elrick]

Would you actually believe some idiot clowns here on Geekhack were saying that the SA Profile was thin-walled.......really  .

They themselves seem to like stating those ignorant comments on this forum as facts, yet have never produced any pics proving their ridiculous claims.

YES, SA profile produced by SP is the only profile worth getting due to their larger than life wall thickness compared to all of their DCS and DSA profiles.

this looks like a shameless attack on my wallet....AGAIN!

[Glod]

Glod damn it, i just saw this, asdknfl;asdknmfo;askdnf;asdnf

7bit offers so many options and also MULTIPLE ergodox options as well. I'm going to need to find a way to get money for this.
