frog: yes. GH button can be used. But GO,RUN cannot use, because different ROW. SA is a good profile, but it is not easy to change between different ROW

sorry I wasn't clear, those were ideas for what to put on those 4 keys if they were to be included, since they're generally novelty type caps afaik.

I can wait for any forthcoming news because I'm not addicted to buying everything immediately and demanding next day delivery from you.  Besides there are so many other Group Buys that are currently running hence we won't crucify you for missing any posts here.

That's good! The hard work is definitely appreciated; can't wait to see the final mockups!

Quick question, though—
I notice that in the last mockup, there are one meta and one super. Is there any chance that there could be a second super, so that both Winkeys could become super, and the context menu becomes meta? (Provided, of course, that I'm not the only one interested in such minutia).

If not (and perhaps this is premature, but...) do people often end up with unneeded keys after these GBs? Depending on how much money I have after the run, I might be willing to pay to take an extra super or meta off of someone's hands....

Registered interest for ErgoDox.  That makes 100% :).  Just wondering tho, would an ErgoDox kit be printed or blank?  Would it have a home bar on F / J keys?

Man, took a week off the forum and come back to have missed this entire discussion.

I love the set, SA profile is great, but I have to ask. Any chance of this ending up SA PBT? We haven't had an SA profile PBT set yet, as far as I know, and I am thoroughly interested. Might bump up the price a bit, but it will set this SA set apart from my in-production GB, as well as Commando. Bring in some new people that have been avoiding the profile because of the material.

Just a thought.

I don't believe SP does double-shot PBT yet for full sets--only Vortex.  Otherwise, I think everyone would have loved to have it!

SP can produce DS ABS, PBT dyesub only in any profile.

So, they can't do double-shot SA PBT, they can do dyesub SA PBT.

Just so everyone knows, Navy blue cables will be available with this groupbuy! They are Mini USB, 6 Ft long and will match the mods.

Ooohhh. Nice touch there. So I guess GB's nowadays would have matching cables alongside.

Only problem I see from the mock-ups is a lack of tilde key in the dark color.

They frame the board in gray font, like the top function row, and also all the blue caps on the tenkey cluster.

With a tease like that I have to know, will the "very very special buy" be another full set?  Is there a risk that I will regret jumping on the Penumbra group buy when you announce the next one?

Since Bunny is running this GB, he will probably consider this if the set is very successful.

Edit: Depends of course on how many people want this. Personally, I'm not sure if it fits the rest of the colour scheme on the set.

Solarized looks like it'll be far more amazing on my keyboard than I ever thought it was in my terminal.

I'm interested but on the fence about ergodox since I'll already have Calm Depths and Dolch DSA options. On the other hand if it'll help everyone meet MOQ having a set to trade is always handy....

I didn't like this when I first saw it, but it's grown on me. I'm not sure what it's inspired by, but I could see this looking good if all the mods were the same colour, navy blue maybe. (minus maybe that crème colour for the bottom ones, that looks good)

If I have the liquid assets when the GB rolls around I'd be in, but with Xmas looming so close it would be touch and go for sure.

Kind of goes against the original theme of the set, the different legend colors represent the color palette in the Solarized vim theme.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.
