[REFER TO NEW THREAD] Doubleshot Cream Cheese & Green 89 Keyset

[Gabo]

Will these caps fit on Leopold TKL? I read something about Double Shootes will not fit perfectly on filco keyboards. Leopolds version of the TKL is pretty the same.

stepped caps is never centre stem from my knowledge

Yeah, I back this up. *Rips out own Caps key*. My Non-stepped cap is centered. The Stepped cap should be off center.

It will fit.

The one thing that doesn't "fit" is the height of the keys, because SP make different profile keys. But if you have a whole set, there won't be any keys that look off. Its only a problem if you mix and match sets from filco(or other some other keyboards) and SP. I believe the spacebar is a Filco/Leo compatible spacebar.

Edit: I got ninja'd as a bunch of guys round me are finding ways of crashing their computers.

What you heard about doubleshots not fitting on Filcos probably has to do with vintage sets of Cherry Corp doubleshots.  Their bottom row (i.e., ctrl, alt, win, menu, and space bar) almost always won't fit modern keyboards, along with caps lock and sometimes one or both shifts.

The sets in this group buy are being newly produced by SP and will fit any modern standard layout tenkeyless keyboard, including Filco and Leopold.

Thanks for some reason I figured they were made for a filco style layout. Then I have no need for the add on kit.

It makes sense that the  retro off center stepped caps lock goes with the retro modifiers.

Whats the 2 extra keys you want in the 11 key add-on set?

Yeah I'll be sure to add in the tenkeypad add-on kit also

Really everyone wants the shamrock esc?

Yeah the shamrock and four leaf clover gives it a nice touch. For the 2 extra keys, it's probably better to just add them to the base set.

[Wildcard]

I would be fine with the shamrock key, since SP already has the mold, or a GEEK HACK key, or even an ordinary Esc.

That's a good point, use the shamrock from round 4 and save the setup fee. Also the Geekhack key would be pretty boss in green.

Only works if the colors match. I posted asking whether they do a while ago but didn't get an answer.

I'll ask cactux what green was used in the shamrock since i down own one myself

[IvanIvanovich]

I have been waiting for this buy to get going. Good to see it taking off... +1 interest for base set, wish there was a 61 key option, but I will accept 87keys rule.

[RColinTaylor]

As much as I think a Shamrock would be good for the Escape I also liked the proposed idea to make every one of these full set buys come with a GeekHack key; something in the colors of the set that make it really special.

[demik]

Co sign on geekhack key. We need to show more GH pride. OTD looks like they have a hand logo in the colors of all their key sets. We need to do the same.

I agree, also make a special key that represents the set itself. I already suggested such an idea on my new buy, I think it adds to the special limited edition status that all of these sets are.

[tsangan]

Geek Hack key will be added! 88 keyset once again!

Geek hack Pride!!!!!!!!!

[RColinTaylor]

If you need any other clutch decisions made just let me know; I will be in my ego tent.

We missed you Colin!

We missed you Colin!

I missed this place, man. Its good to be back in a public manner rather than my lurker status.

[excalaver]

Do you think i can get this set but with retro keys! i just love the colour combination, have a feeling it will go sweetly with the filco camouflage

[balanar]

Hmm is there any way to include perhaps 2 more keys, namely replacements for the windows keys with something like the stars, in the main set? I'm all for keeping it simple but I feel so jealous of the Phantom add on kits and feel that since these are 'limited edition' sets, it'll be well nigh impossible to get such keys in the same colour scheme apart from this buy. As such, makes sense to include just a minimal mod that I am sure is very popular and few people would violently object to.

I'd like to hear the views of others on this as well.

Edit: Read the discussion over a similar matter in the ragnarok gb thread and I guess that if a similar vote was put up, the 'windows team' would win again. =(

Glad you're back man.

Doesn't matter what the color was, we can get it in our shade of green without another setup fee.  That said, I'm for the GEEK HACK escape.

[hazeluff]

I don't like the shamrock much. Get a vote imo. But I'm 100% agree on GEEKHACK ESC.

[tsangan]

Geek Hack esc is in for sure as a 88th key on the base set

Make me a image so people will stop asking

[fstop]

Oh man this GB just keeps getting better.

Are we waiting till Ragnarok GB orders close or until the GB is completed? Could be over a month from now can't wait that long . This is probably the best looking set ive seen.
