(GB) PENUMBRA SA KEYSET(shipping)

[Kabuks]

Just ordered. 

[dorkvader]

I heard lubed ergo clears are the god tier of Mx switches so i guess that's what i'm going to do with my Dox.

I prefer 62g whites, but they are nice. Either is good for an ergodox.

I have several spherical keybaords, and I prefer typing on the more sculpted "round5 style" but I think either will be excellent.

I would try out cherry mx whites but i don't know anywhere/anyone that has them.

You could always put up a WTB in classifieds. I'm sure someone will offer. As many people know, I'm an ergo-clear advocate. 62g lubed Ergo clears 4 lyfe Maybe 55g too. I don't dislike any switches though; as long as you find what's right for you, it's all that matters. What's important is you try out as many switch types as possible because no matter how informative a person's description of a certain switch can be, it's nothing like feeling them for yourself.

I ordered a set for my Das Keyboard and I can't wait to order for my ErgoDox.
To match my terminal I would like dark alphas for the ErgoDox.

Wallethack indeed!

[argyakrivos]

Just paid the invoice!

[mooswa]

1 day left, can't risk missing it while waiting for final profile decision, order placed

[Latin00032]

What was the r3 issue?

[Kabuks]

Paid invoice. 

[Photoelectric]

What was the r3 issue?

Some of the modifiers were not of proper width (too short).  That's why Round 5 includes some blue modifiers in correct lenghts now.

[Apexx]

Ordered on site! These caps are too good to miss! 

[MJ45]

What was the r3 issue?

Some of the modifiers were not of proper width (too short).  That's why Round 5 includes some blue modifiers in correct lenghts now.

Also the backspace key was the wrong profile for that row and corrected with the R4 repair set. 

[mooswa]

What was the r3 issue?

Whether to go with regular SA profile (all rows are different) - or `flat alphas` profile - tab caps and shift are all R3, numbers are R2. 

[swill]

What was the r3 issue?

Some of the modifiers were not of proper width (too short).  That's why Round 5 includes some blue modifiers in correct lenghts now.

Are you saying that the R5 set does not have correct length mods if you don't buy the blue mods?  Do you have a reference.

[Photoelectric]

No that's not what I"m saying.  Round 5 is red/gray/black/white.  The Blue modifiers are for Round 3 and are even called "repair".

[swill]

No that's not what I"m saying.  Round 5 is red/gray/black/white.  The Blue modifiers are for Round 3 and are even called "repair".

Oh thanks. I understand now.

[zflamewing]

My super awesome wife got me a set for the work keyboard as part of my Christmas present.   First keycap set and GH groupbuy. 

[AlexJP]

oh noes... is this the last day for payment?

got hacked on Round 5 (7bit you monster!)

[swill]

oh noes... is this the last day for payment?

got hacked on Round 5 (7bit you monster!)

Me too...  Having a real problem figuring out if I can afford to get this.  I have never tried SA profile, so I feel like it is a pretty big risk getting so much SA, but this is just too awesome...   

[xqz]

Hey bunny how come I got invoiced again after I paid?

SA is nice

[kekkon]

Paid the invoices.

[Tym]

It is like 4 am here (I'm only awake because im ill and on a very random sleeping schedule) so I wouldn't imagine Bunny being awake

With regards to getting 2 invoices,  I would recommend PM'ing him just to make sure he is aware.

[Elrick]

It is like 4 am here (I'm only awake because im ill and on a very random sleeping schedule) so I wouldn't imagine Bunny being awake

4AM, that's the bewitching hour.  I always get weird creatures crawling on the walls at that time, that's why I always walk out in the early morning air and see what's to be done in the workshop.

[TravisW]

Just paid the invoice on my first GB, looking forward to getting the set!

I'm potentially interested in an Ergodox kit too. I'll watch this thread for details.

Also, BunnyLake, if you haven't sorted out what bonus keys if any you'll arrange, can I humbly suggest an escape key in the set's red with a light grey legend? I think the contrast would be striking! And thanks again for arranging this excellent set!

[BunnyLake]

Hey bunny how come I got invoiced again after I paid?

i cant find that my end sir, if you could please send me the 2 invoice numbers ill sort that out for you and advise if its an error or a reason for it

to everything else, sorry ive been away for a day or so doing family stuff, i iwll be on properly tonight and tomorrow as usual but busy most of today

Question about the iso kit:

The return comes unprinted?
The shift is grey on blue?

[balanar]

I'm sorry if this is something that has been brought up and/or resolved already but as I was looking over the mockups again and trying not to send my wallet into oblivion by ordering more stuff, I noticed that the requisite 1.25x & 1.5x capslock on the bottom row to facilitate a swap with the control keys aren't pictured? The 'Caps Lock' key in the tsangan doesn't appear to be 1.5x. Or is the plan to use some other key in place of the 'CTRL' key on the bottom row? I thought a 'CAPS' key or something would be appropriate but hey that's just me!

Please ignore this if the 'problem' has been rectified.


Edit: I'm also officially expressing interest in an ErgoDox set and will stay on top of this thread as you instructed Bunny!

iso shift will be blue on blue, sorry the mockup is wrong, but the final revision will match the other shifts

sadly the enter will be sans legend

Awesome! Might be pushing my luck here but would it make sense for a 1.5 caps lock mod in the tsangan?

extra keys are being added, there is 9 hours left on the buy, once it closes i will be sorting out final additional keys and the ergodox kit, and have a final list to everyone shortly

at some pont there is a cut off where by you would need one of every size etc, i think in the tsangan there are plenty of additional keys already that would replace ctrl, but i think it was a valid point for the 1.25

we obviously have lots more base orders then tsangan, so its far cheaper to slip the extra key in there, there are going to be many extra keys added, and there are just things higher up on the list to go in before that many variations of caps lock

this isnt a no, but it isnt a confirmation like the 1,25 one either

Roger that Bunny, also dropped you a PM.

[BunnyLake]

oh noes... is this the last day for payment?

got hacked on Round 5 (7bit you monster!)

yes it is, however, some people pm'd me about making late payments etc, and i have accommodated those people, what i normally do, is allow people who contact me to pay late if needed, but cancel any orders of people who dont contact me

[BunnyLake]

could the ergodox people come together and get an open discussion going as to what they need in the ergodox set, i dont know enough about it to keep everyone happy, but if someone could come up with a full list of what they would like, ill get the quotes and we can get it sorted

[Matt3o]

I'm not interested in ergodox but you might use this as a reference (taken from round 5)

[AlexJP]

must pay invoice...

[xqz]

Hey bunny how come I got invoiced again after I paid?

i cant find that my end sir, if you could please send me the 2 invoice numbers ill sort that out for you and advise if its an error or a reason for it

to everything else, sorry ive been away for a day or so doing family stuff, i iwll be on properly tonight and tomorrow as usual but busy most of today

One invoice is 0584. The latest invoice said order 313

The existing alphas should work fine on an ergodox, especially if we go with the 23 Commando profile keys where all the alphas are row3. They'll work even better if the base set includes unscooped F and J. That's assuming there are any prospective ergodox peeps not using qwerty-ish layouts.

That leaves us with mods to figure out. Most ergodox mods are blank since the thing is reprogrammable but this set features some pretty sweet different legend colorings that really add character to it. Is it worth trying to find things to write on the mods? Again, doing all row3 would help us out because then we'd be able to put the legend'd modifier keys anywhere they fit.

Here's a very janky mockup of what a blank Penumbradox kit might look like using 7bit's all row 3 ergodox base kit a starting point.

[AlexJP]

have not received the invoice
:/

Maybe pairs of Super, Meta, GeekHack and CODE keys, any other generic legends that are part of other sets. Maybe even some exclusive legends, that might get some extra users to get the ErgoDox kit for the special mods.

Yeah. As well as those, are the Circle, Square, Triangle, Diamond keys from 7bit's SA buys open for anyone to use?

One invoice is 0584. The latest invoice said order 313

you only have 1 invoice sir, one is your orders number, with the site you made the order, and one is your invoice number, with paypal

you only have one invoice, those numbers as i say are you order and invoice number respectively

if i am wrong, could you please give me you invoice numbers please from paypal

[BunnyLake]

have not received the invoice
:/

it hasnt been sent yet, you literally just placed your order in the last 24 hours, i will do the final wave of invoicing once orders have completed tonight or tomorrow

[jefferai]

Re ErgoDox set, I'd be much happier with ergonomics over position customizability (IOW not all R3). I'd also be much happier with beautifully colored keys and legends (as in the normal set) over blanks.

Overall I'd be happy with proper row QWERTY keys that look and feel beautiful. I can remember any layout changes in my head...

[swill]

Ordered...  Thanks for doing this bunny.  Pretty excited about these...

[AlexJP]

thanks Bunny   

[inlikeflynn]

so the 1800 mock up shows it having a 1x + key which isn't shown in the numpad mock up. I was wondering if that is mentioned elsewhere as being included?


i've been trying to avoid anymore SP GB, but keep coming back to it as its just so nice looking 

[Photoelectric]

It will be included, here's a quote from some time ago:

Here you go.  While I was making this, I noticed that the 1800 needs a 1x "+" for the numpad, whereas the set, as currently laid out, only offers a 2x "+".  But the mock up assumes a 1x "+"

(Attachment Link)

does any know if this was fixed or made aware to bunny?

yeah i havent changed the mockups, but itll all be included
