Also, yes ABS of course. Numberpad will just be matching to the set.

Almost at 40 base sets. Also would someone PM me the EXACT keys needed to make the base set (ANSI) ISO compatible, thx!

Well phisically it's L-shaped return + short left shift + one extra key on the L row + one extra key on the Z row.
But what about the legends? ISO UK is the most similar to US ANSI, so is that going to be the choice? It has a different symbol on the key left to the one, though.

That's not easy at all.
<> row 2 is fine for most languages, but not ISO UK.
And each layout has different symbols on the right of P, L and M.
Also, the symbols on the number row can be different from language to language (for example on italian layout I got "&" above the 6).
So it's actually a mess. Blank keys could be an option, but to fit every symbol we should get 10/12 of those. And a number row with the numbers only? I don't know. It seems a bit nonsense to put so many blanks on a double shot set!

for me the number row is liked most alpha keys ...

so why not a L shaped return and a small shift and two blank keycaps (row 2 and row 3) just to fill the gaps from a base set on an iso keyboard?
i think i'll put alpha keys from another set ...

What about for the ISO layout just adapting the ANSI US to it?
make and L enter key and couple |\

This options way of doing this group buy is not working as well as I wished. If we dont get a lot more orders for A, C, and E, they will need to be canceled and we will only have one option for this buy. At only 10 orders the price is just too high. Even at 20 its still fairly high, doesnt start to make sense until at least 30 sets.

I originally ordered Base + B + C + E.

I'm okay with changing my ctrl/shift/alt and arrow key options if they are cancelled, but if the numpad option is removed I'll have to bow out of this group buy.

I think you would be locking out more users by cancelling E than any of the other options. Are the tenkeyless buyers willing to wait a little more time for more numpad buyers to order?

Is there a deadline on this? I am interested in ordering the Base + B + C, but I can't just yet due to financial reasons. If I could get a rough date of the latest I could place my order, that'd be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Ditto that

Assuming that there were no overlapping orders, the number of orders in A & D could be 'coerced' into joining options B & C for the 'greater good' for this MO to proceed as soon as possible.

But then again, I don't mind waiting 1-2 more weeks just to get a better pricing.

Like I said...

Quote
Hopefully in 2 weeks we will have enough orders, if so I will place order. Currently lead time is 4 weeks for SP to manufacture plus 2-3 days to get to me. Finally depending on where you live 4-7 days to get to you.

So lets say I order on the 20th of may (the plan), you could expect to get them the week of June 26th.

In 2 weeks I will either order the keys or change options etc.

Cancelling A & D or combining them with their counterparts can make sense if not enough people are ordering one of the sets. E though I think is fine to leave as is since that's tenkey buttons so it's not like cancelling them will make B & C's numbers go up any more. I don't even want to order E as I only have a tenkeyless, just mentioning it for peeps here who want tenkey, no harm in letting them try.

i think to make it simple just offer what you're offering in the picture...

i hope the numpad goes through though because not everyone is using tenkeyless  =(  without it.. the keyboard would look ugly =T

if you add on the standard set an ISO enter key, small shift, couple \| 1 size replacements I think we could have more interest since you can have a set which you can use on any layout. But it's too late maybe to do that.

Maybe get rid of the options and set a fixed base 87 set with an optional 10key?  this way if the 104ers want in they might have to be willing to pay the up cost of the 10key set.

i'm in but only if i can get the 10key.

Thats why I suggested to integrate some keys (4: small left shift, L enter, |\, and key near the left shift) to the base set, so it's usable on both ANSI and ISO layout.

i wonder how much extra that would cost per set?  it doesnt seem like it would be much to add those 4 keys.  Is that really all it takes to make it usable?
