Ok, CLEARBLANK covers the non-single size keys. There's 18 of them, this kit offers 19. Is one key just extra?

I'm confused as sh!t. All I know for a fact is what the CLEARBLANKMOD includes.

CLEARBLANKALP contains 37 alphabet keys? |\ key isn't single so that's excluded? Then there are four keys that are extra, are those meant for arrow keys?

37 keys to replace:
QWERTYUIOP{}ASDFGHJKL:"ZXCVBNM<>? plus the 2 keys which are necessary for ISO-layout, plus 2 keys for F and J positions with nubs.

Quote from: calavera;305864

CLEARBLANKFUN are the top F1~F12 + esc, print, scroll lock, pause?

Yep!

Quote from: calavera;305864

CLEARBLANK is just 90 singular size key caps? why 90? Aren't there 86 singluar key caps in a full keyboard layout?

Yep! Again, 2x keys with nubs and 2x keys for ISO-layout.

Quote from: calavera;305864

Where does the enter, |\, capslock, tab, backspace fit into?

These fit into the CLEARBLANKMOD kit.

I should be well-known by now, to choose weired names for kits, which not always tell what they contain;-)

There is a stepped and an un-stepped Caps Lock key.

ps: Ripster, what about you? You brought the clears up, but did not yet vote for them. You vote might lower the price a bit!

Even though your drawing shows it, I just want to make it explicit, due to the confusion over some of the other kits.

Does CLEARBLANKMOD include a clear spacebar?

The latest invoice I got contained CAPSLED's which I removed. So I guess I can expect another updated invoice and finally then I'd be able to make payment?

It would really make my day to have a clear SPACENEW! :pray:

Will the caps-lock-with-off-centre-stem be stepped or unstepped?

AvroArrow · « **Reply #69 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 02:52:21 »

Anyone know if these clear keys will be smooth on the typing surface or will they be textured (like the pic of the 2-piece relegendable key Ripster posted earlier)? I don't like typing on completely smooth keys.

I'm kind of on the fence about ordering a full set (clearblank+clearblankmod) because it'll bump me past the 250 pieces per box limit so it will double my shipping costs. Anyone know/guess what the price break/drop will be on the CLEARMOD if it reaches 15 sets? It's up to 13 sets now so if the price drop will cover most of my 2nd shipping cost I'll probably order a full set.

As far as I know, they are exactly like the normal blanks, just made of clear plastic.

$32/15

Fingers crossed that they are rough textured on top. I was typing on a smooth surfaced chiclet-style keyboard on a new Acer laptop recently.... ewww... no grip whatsoever. Order added, so now we're up to 14 sets of CLEARBLANKMOD, just 1 more set to go for the 15 unit price break.

hmm.. it wouldn't be a crystal clear key if they had rough texture on top right?

I got a statistics e-mail update (from my-mbox.net) this morning at 09:02 (GMT -8), so I'm basing it on those numbers from about 6 hours ago, assuming nobody backed out and reduced their quantities.

Quote from: manfaux;307994

It could be crystal clear on the sides and only textured on top, which is what I'm hoping for. Otherwise, I'll be putting them up on the classifieds. Too bad they don't have a picture of them to take out all the guess work.

Soarer · « **Reply #76 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 17:06:11 »

You will get some statistics from time to time.

Don't ask 7bit or me any questions during that time. We will not answer!

There will be no update of payment status. Anybody should keep track of that themselves! It is sufficient to pay when I'm back again.

Damn. I was just about to ask 'what's happening with SPACENEWCLEAR?'

It shows that I've voted for it, but it's not in the statistics or my invoice. I doubt I want a clear set without it, so I very much hope it gets added in! (even if it works out relatively expensive for just the 4 that I voted for).

I'm really glad someone did this and that I didn't yet. It was on my list of projects from last year but never got time to do it. Everyone should order these to drive the price down. Seeing mechanical switches and blue/brown/red/black stems through the keys should be pretty cool.

Wait... so if you want to outfit a full size ANSI Filco for example, would CLEARBLANKMOD do it all for $38 or do you have to get all 4 of these to fill that keyboard? ($80 for the set?)

CLEARBLANKALP..............3 (Blank Alpha keys) ($12/15 #37)
CLEARBLANKFUN..............6 (Blank Function keys) ($6/15 #16)
CLEARBLANK................14 (Blank keys) ($24/15 #90)
