Can we place order using the same ID from Round 3? SC2 keys are not currently on round 4 wiki with any ID, is it because you will be using the same ID from starcraft 2 thread?

Having seen Ripsters guide on using double shot keycaps on his Filco (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:6924) I've decided I'd like to do this on mine as well.

Having a look through the colours and styles it doesn't look like there is a black key with white text option other than the ROUND3 (the black there is listed as GX rather than NN, not sure on the difference there). Just wondering if it would be best trying to find an old Cherry Keyboard (seems like hard work and especially for a UK layout) mentioned in his thread or joining in on this group buy if it was possible to have black keys in white text. Would the UK language kit be in the same colour scheme too if I ordered it?


FYI: http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?20459-Second-Group-of-Brand-New-Official-Cherry-Double-Shot

Not sure whether there are still sets left, but I guess it's worth a try.

I'd like to participate but to me it's really hard to understand everything.
Almost no picture, no boxes to click and many questions are raising about compliance with keyboards and color schemes.
When somebody will help you by developping a user friendly and flexible tool with macros and so on, that would be so nice... It could happen, who knows, it's a geek site isn't it? ^^

In the meantime I'll try to order a set to fit on a choc mini... if I manage

Hi, my name is Sam and I can't figure it out either. Is there a "Doofuses Anonymous" gathering anywhere near here?

I want Round 3s and Retros, full sets, with Cherry 1800 & Finnish layout kits, as well as several of the side dishes available (Star Wars keys, woot).

^ Yeah the wiki is like pure text.

So the retro is only available as grey keys with blue text, and bianco (something normal) is available only with BIGass font?

Maybe we should start a "What should my order be, if I need this and that for round 4" - thread? I guess we are many people trying to figure it out... Anyways, I think the wiki will be updated along the way, and it will be quite some time before the final orders will be placed at SP.

Totally seconded. We need a simple explanation post or thread explaining how to order what you want. No offense intended, 7bit, but I'm assuming English isn't your first language?

I'm just waiting for the list of SC key caps for Round 4. I think the order IDs will be the same or similar if additional keys should be available.

You need the NOPOO kit as add-on to a STD kit in whatever style. Please note that there is currently no space bar for the No Poo keyboard.

ROUND3/STD 1
ROUND3/CH1800 1
or
ROUND3/CH1800OLD 1
ROUND3/FI 1 (I'm not sure if this will be available)

RETRO/STD 1
RETRO/CH1800 1
or
RETRO/CH1800OLD 1
RETRO/FI 1

You will need a space bar, but this depends on whch kind of G80-1800 keyboard you have.

Actually it's a Raptor K1. Am I correct deducting that SPACENEW (6 units) would be the correct spacebar type?

Thanks a lot for your kind help.

I too would really like to have double shots that look like the keys on filco.

What profile is the RETRO?
Is the RETRO available only in white/grey with blue text, no black keys with white text?
What font is in the RETRO, is plain normal without being italic.
Will the windows flag be in this square box or only as a flag.

You would have to get enough people in on it to make it worth it. I don't think SP has any molds for Filco fonts (futura) which means it would cost more to produce

qft.  All I really want is a nice-looking (i.e., not big-ass centered) doubleshot set in normal colors.  SP's default font would probably be fine with me.

i'm in on this one for enough keys for a filco tenkeyless and a mac kit. i can't for the life of me figure ou t what the styles and colors and order system are, however. will participate again when pictures etc. are up.

all i want are attractive light-colored keys with large-ish letters and icons; i'm not really picky other than that. i'm really tired of how tiny and black the filco lettering/keys are. i keep miskeying in sc2 because they're so damned uniform, and i'm just not enough of a keyboard ninja to otaku it up.

I've seen pictures of the COMMAND key from round 3 and I don't like it all. The symbol is just too big and really bold. Was that made on purpose or is just another error from SP? How about the command key for this round? Will it look the same or will it be fixed?

I am very interested in getting a set of blanks and a set of double shots as well as a few other odds and ends. I will try to decipher the code of this order bot, if anyone is feeling generous and wants to get on skype/ventrilo and help me do this that would be more than cool. I have already spent an hour on the wiki, so I have a little idea of what's going on.

Not quite, because it is possible to use row 3 keys on them. But again, we are trying to find asolution for that.


Can we have the option of using row 3 for every key in the spherical kit?  That seems to be more authentic to how keyboards were typically made pre-1980.

I would like the RETRO style ( in other words the offcentered one) with white in black keys. That would be very similar to standard FILCO keys and I found it pretty stylish.  Are the arrow keys in letters in all kits? why not the classical arrow symbol? And definitely I'd love the ಠ_ಠ key for my scape.

Would love this too, White text on Black keys in the RETRO style if it as all possible. Although the normal RETRO is growing on me too :D.
