What is this BoB?
If today had been a hippo, then you'd really have to worry about tomorrow.

Matt: Could you consider to add to the BoB a second 2.25x shift key? Sorry if this comment is out of place, and that it should be moved to the corresponding thread. I do not want to cause any confusion.

Two 2.25u? For the Leopold? Remember that Leopold has weird mount points for the shift keys (at least so I heard). Anyway I believe the macross mods kit pretty much covers every keyboard on the planet :) (except for ergo dox and other extremes).

And also I wonder if the two 1x keys in the ISO set should be labeled with the appropriate UK legends. I know other languages are different, but I think ISO users may benefit of having some references in these two keys. Also the backslash key will fit most of ISO based languages.

BoB will have all ISO languages.

UK layout has |\ to the right of the left shift, most other ISO layouts have <>. Since nobody chimed in regarding a UK layout (in more than a month) I'd say I'll keep 2 blanks for Macross.

What is this BoB?

It's a PBT Beige set. We are waiting for SP to release the PBT spacebar to start the GB.

Macross is covered, I meant to have the same for BoB. And shift mounts are standard as any other board. Any standard shift key in 2.25u fits the Leo. Non standard stem positions are in the spacebar only.

I don't like the risks involved. They don't have mechanical keyboards in jail do they?
Although rent would be cheaper :))

Just depends on how young you are?  You will pay up one way or another in jail.  Just make sure you end up in solitary after you shank someone in the throat with your sharpened toothbrush handle, that way you could avoid any bum action at night  :thumb: .

Just make sure you let everyone know you're one crazy-motherfvcker and you may be safe.

YES, hoping to wipe away tears of disappointment in not getting what I want in another Group Buy, but I won't mention it here........

At least a decent choice of DSA has been chosen for this nice feature set.  Don't change anything, just stick to the final design and everything will go over perfectly  :thumb: .

It seems to be live.

- interface is a bit clunky to select all of the 'child deals' - they need a better way to handle this
- checkout is... not working for me
- hopefully more people sign up because I'm at $201 right now....

Hey guys sorry for the difficulties with SP's new group buy site.

We have the checkout all fixed, we're using paypal now, and we managed to get our international shipping rates down to $15.

If you run into any problems or have suggestions - please let me know. We are working every day to improve this so that the site ends up being exactly what the community wants.
