YUUUUUP! going to copy that Pure layout on my pure, but I may have made a mistake swapping to all brown with no plum. Oh well I'm sure I can acquire plum from a vendor to atone for my sins.

This is my preferred layout with this set.

Oh man, this is the layout I'm getting for the GH60. These look amazing.

I switched from the Samwise layout to this one as well.

They look like were packed in some sets, maybe it make sorting a lot easier/quicker?!:D

Guys, what do you think - which keyboard cover color would be better with this set?
Latte or Sahara beige?

GeorgeK · « **Reply #1065 on:** Mon, 22 April 2013, 15:58:04 »

Latte would get my vote

Saturday May 4th as planned.

Postal scale arrived today, shipping boxes are not here yet. Address corrections (and sneaky requests for extra items) are still coming in.

We are on plan, people.

Nice to know everything is going to PLAN. These are the single MOST wanted keys I could ever wish for, they look so superb and should work beautifully in any keyboard (Filco, Cherry, Ducky, Pure, Race ........).

Thank you for helping out Matt3o with this fantastic Group Buy that will be talked about for years to come ;) .

That was my thinking - the other looked a little too brown / yellow...

Larken · « **Reply #1075 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 04:15:06 »

sneaky requests? I like the sound of that.

Matt3o - any chance deep dish blanks would be offered? Don't think these were offered in the original gb (if they were, I missed it completely), but I saw something said about those on DT, and you would be the man to talk to about that.

Matt3o · « **Reply #1076 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 07:19:11 »

yes, I have a veeery limited quantity of deep dish I can sell. We had very few of them so they won't be the cheapest.

suka · « **Reply #1077 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 09:16:06 »

Not wanting to sound rude, but will the original requests still be fulfilled? I 'ordered' 10 back when you asked for an IC on DT.

Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy with the way you and samwisekoi organized the Retro GB, but the deep-dishes would be the icing on the cake from the looks of your prototype.

Matt3o · « **Reply #1078 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 09:22:03 »

suka, the BLANK deepdish were not even meant to be taken in the first place... I bought them for myself and I'm willing to part some of them.

Larken · « **Reply #1079 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 10:16:44 »

I wouldn't mind paying a fair price for some if you're willing to part with some, but I echo suka's comments. Both you and samwisekoi are awesome.

Very very happy with how the GB is done, and the blank deep dishes would be great to complete my set of blanks if I could get some. If not, I'll just wait for the next round, no worries at all.

Krogenar · « **Reply #1080 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 10:34:09 »

I can't wait to put these on my G80-2100. Can't really remember everything I got in my order, LOL!

Lol I just showed my friend the set and now he wants one also (he's big on retro in general). Probably going to try to snatch a Alpha + TKL set from another user.

The alpha kit shows Deep dish for E, H, N, T, U, F, and J. Are they not in fact included?

Couple of snaps in all-brown, even though every kit will come with some plum and some green.

But back in the day, it would have been all one color, so here is the GH75 in White on Brown Retro DSA glory.

p.s. Note the deep dish F and J. Watch out for the other deep dishes in the kit for the Dvorak and Colemak folks!.

These are amazing. And that GH75 looks great. Is the plate basically the case there?

That said, it may be my eyes, but I think your 's' is upside down.

On second photo those caps look like dirty a bit. Are they or is it just me?

Also, noticed that S cap is up side down:)

Bullveyr · « **Reply #1094 on:** Wed, 24 April 2013, 04:10:43 »

Maybe O,I,Z,N,X are also up side down.

Note to myself: Look closely to not install Z/N turned 90°.

Thanks; that is the GH75 with hard-wired matrix. No, the keycaps are not dusty -- the photo was taken in the afternoon, and those are sparkles from the new plastic. It looks quite different in person.

And yes, DSA keycaps indeed do have an orientation, even if the legends do not. Matt3o is correct -- sprues to the front! Except on the arrow keys, where you might want to rotate three of them so they point in different directions!

To give myself some credit, I noticed this before you all did -- but some of the letters are harder to detect than the "S". And all of them should be oriented properly -- and I had (IIRC) one or two properly aligned.

So, check the sprues and the dishes when installing.

Also, thickness-fans will be pleased, I think.
