[GB] Double shot replacements ROUND FOUR! - PACKING!

[7bit]

Any chance of using First-Class Mail International instead of Priority Mail International? Don't really want many keys.

It is not helpful for this group buy that you don't want many keys!

However, if there are cheaper shipping methods, we should go for them.

2$ I think was the 5 filcos I got. If they fit in standard envelope(100 or so) I think there is cheper methods)... Maybe...

If someone from the US can check out the prices and test how many key caps will fit into appropriate envelopes, I'd much appreciate it.

Neverthless, here are the RGB and RGBY kits:






The actual colors and color-scheme (RGB text vs. RGB background) depends on the style (ROUND3, RETRO, DARK).

[calavera]

Looks like the RGBY kit is just what I need. How do I order this?

Also, when is the deadline for this group buy? I thought this was supposed to be smaller and quicker.

So the only way to get a 3rd row control key to replace caps lock is to buy the terminal kit? If that's the case this will be expensive.
And will that kit fit a filco anyway?

[giHefca]

SHOUT (1.75 units, full-touch Shout key) or SHOUTS    (1.75 units, stepped Shout key) ?

[zoidbergslo]

ANTICAPSLOCK in wiki is your answer

contains:
row 3 (1.75 units)
Rub Out (both versions, center and off-enter mount)
Control (both versions, center and off-enter mount)
Escape (both versions, center and off-enter mount)

Here are your choices:
ROUND3/RGBY white on RGBY
ROUND3/RGBY/BLACK RGBY on very dark grey
RETRO/RGBY RGBY on dark grey
RETRO/RGBY/BLACK white on RGBY
DARK/RGBY RGBY on very dark grey

No, only fewer choices than in my original plan.

There is still no deadline.

Oh, good news 7bit: KBL and myself have been working with Melissa to design a new spacebar with 6stems that will fit a Leopold AND a Filco and from the recent responses she has given us everything is looking up. SP wants to make it for no extra charge and it seems as though they want to make it as soon as possible.

Please participate in that poll:
What do you like to have instead of a Caps Lock key?

Thank you very much!!!!

If this is the case I will add this 6.25 units space bar to the STANDARD, TENKLESS and TKL kits.

BTW: Will they make a completely new design or just add the keymounts to the existing one?

If they entirely re-design it, they might make it less sharp, more like the Cherry space bars.

[sinis]

so no kit to complete cherry doubleshots . ..

[hazeluff]

I'm having problems adding the yellow awesome keycap.

[RColinTaylor]

From what I can tell it will be a new design all together; like an adjustment to what they would normally do at the design level.

[7bit]

I'm waiting for the SVG files. Once I've got them I can make the layout file.

[Jophess]

What is the GHALPHA kit, and what options, if any, are available for it?

[Atenacius]

I hope someone makes an SVG for the red Cherry Esc key. I can probably do it myself in Illustrator or something but I'll need to ask cycloverid for his Moogle 2 template

I think cycloverid said he was willing to do the SVG file, but couldn't run the new group buy that was being discussed.

Retro colors:

GSL is for the normal keys and GQM for the modifiers.

Textcolor is BFQ.

The RETRO/*/BLACK kits are in WA on NN.




The RGB colors will be less dark than in this picture and therefore more visible.

I'm having problems adding the yellow awesome keycap.

same here.

tried RETRO/AWESOME/RED but didn't work...

[Tanooki]

Is the RGB and RGBY going to be the same as this http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?20058-FINAL-Doubleshot-RGB-Set-from-SP-SOLD-OUT or like the pictures before where the text is RGB on white keycap?

[Mackem]

I'm confused, could someone please help me as to what I'd have to PM to get the following:

White keycaps w/ black font for full-size Filco Majestouch-1 w/ UK layout. I also want 2 SC2 Protoss Winkeys and a red ESC key. Thanks to anyone that helps.

The actual design of the key caps depends on the style.

There are versions with RGB text and RGB key caps. It's all in the wiki.

Such a style does currently not exist. Because of lack of interest, I've canceled the Bianco style.

Can i still get in on this? When is the cut off date?

Why everybody asks for a deadline?

What about 2011-10-31 for a start?

[Mackem]

So there is no option to get white keycaps with black letters? What options is there for white keycaps? Sorry for all of the questions but I found the wiki a bit confusing.

You're not the only one, I'm afraid.

Are you looking for real-white key caps or pearl-white (like 1980s/90s keyboards)?
Centered or off-center text-labels?
How many will sets you take?
