Deleted to avoid offending R4. Be back with more info.

MKULTRA · « **Reply #1 on:** Mon, 25 March 2013, 14:31:54 »

Idk how many people will be interested in this since many have money tied up in R4, which includes this set.

tjcaustin · « **Reply #2 on:** Mon, 25 March 2013, 14:38:52 »

R4 has/had this set as an option. It's not included in every r4 set.

That being said, I was stupid and didn't get it at the time and want it. Sign me up.

GB help:

Get either a google doc up for people to notate what they want or get matt3o to help you get it integrated with his appthing.

Did you just copy paste everything?

SmallFry · « **Reply #5 on:** Mon, 25 March 2013, 16:04:43 »

He took out the stuff specific to 7Bit, though I don't know if the prices are accurate.

Yes I did since pricing will be the same. Also this is an interest thread. The final GB thread will be edited specifically towards the ones that's gain enough traction.

SmallFry · « **Reply #7 on:** Mon, 25 March 2013, 16:11:21 »

The pricing may not be the same since R4 was a GIANT group buy. Just letting you know.

esoomenona · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 25 March 2013, 16:21:01 »

Also, wouldn't you have to get permission from him to use the custom legends?

SmallFry · « **Reply #9 on:** Mon, 25 March 2013, 16:22:23 »

Likely, but 7bit is a pretty easy going guy with his legends, last I heard.

metalliqaz · « **Reply #10 on:** Mon, 25 March 2013, 16:58:11 »

R4 isn't even done yet, this is way premature, and this is copied straight from the wiki.... Probably ruffle some feathers there.

OnTheBrink · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 25 March 2013, 21:01:20 »

Well, like I have stated, I am new to this and simply wanted to get the set and was encouraged to start a GB since R4 is not taking any more orders.

I was going to see which one was more popular, but end up trying to start a GB for the icons only legends.

As for offending people, I did not mean to do so and did not know I needed permission for the legends. I will contact him accordingly. If R4 is still taking orders and I missed something, please let me know so I can order a set. Thanks.

tjcaustin · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 25 March 2013, 21:11:14 »

You cannot. Verify with 7bit, but still keep this open. I think there are enough people that missed out/didn't get everything that would jump all over this.

So TRUE. This would be popular like Matt3o's GB and you know how that baby went...... Perfection Personified

A quick R4... Sign me up.

OnTheBrink · « **Reply #16 on:** Tue, 26 March 2013, 17:24:34 »

Just an update... I contacted R4 for legend files and permission. Just waiting on a response. Pro Bly going to do a TKL GB with icon only, text legends and keys not included (space bars etc...)

I spoke to SP and they are waiting for my response. As soon as I hear from 7bit I will fix the OP with pricing and order goal.

MKULTRA · « **Reply #17 on:** Tue, 26 March 2013, 17:36:55 »

btw I'd prolly be in for this. Since I didn't jump onto the cluster**** that is R4

tjcaustin · « **Reply #18 on:** Tue, 26 March 2013, 21:25:53 »

As long as there's a tsangan option, too, I'm down.

AriesX · « **Reply #19 on:** Wed, 27 March 2013, 23:06:51 »

any word from 7bit yet? i want to throw money at this asap

ApocalypseMaow · « **Reply #20 on:** Thu, 28 March 2013, 05:41:31 »

have you contacted him on deskthority? he frequents there more often than here

blighty · « **Reply #23 on:** Thu, 28 March 2013, 13:15:04 »

More than likely you are going to have to wait until after people get their caps from R4.

mashby · « **Reply #24 on:** Thu, 28 March 2013, 14:05:06 »

I think I heard that 7bit is currently on vacation.

IPT · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 28 March 2013, 14:07:51 »

7bit also doesn't have a very high feeling for GH these days

ApocalypseMaow · « **Reply #26 on:** Thu, 28 March 2013, 21:27:15 »

Well do it in dsa profile and the heck with those legends and.... begin.

It seems there is enough people that want these. I am also doing only TKL.

The minimum order doesn't seem too high either. We should be okay as soon as I can get the legend.

Yeah, I told the manufacturer to include the space bar options.

ApocalypseMaow · « **Reply #32 on:** Sun, 31 March 2013, 19:33:56 »

Gonna need 10 sets or so. This set might be the last one I ever need.

7bit · « **Reply #33 on:** Tue, 02 April 2013, 12:05:11 »

Just go ahead!

Almost everything is sold out, so no problem for me if you start a new group buy.

Tarzan · « **Reply #38 on:** Wed, 03 April 2013, 09:58:14 »

Definitely interested in this one. Full 104-key sets, Tsangan, number pad, you name it.

Just got official word from 7bit that there are no more keycaps to make a complete set. So I would like to say that I NEED this set if it would include this set plus a space bar in the dark grey. http://deskthority.net/w/images/7/7a/RETRO_STDSYM.png

Not the place for this dude.

Also as TJ has said. This could be one of the biggest headaches ever (running this GB).
Not sure if OP was looking to run this, but if so I would beg you to look at TJ, Danielucf,
and samwisekois' GBs for a lesson in how to run one. It won't be for the faint of heart.

Sai · « **Reply #42 on:** Wed, 03 April 2013, 21:45:52 »

Melvang · « **Reply #43 on:** Wed, 03 April 2013, 21:46:36 »

"DAMNIT JIM". I was really hoping that this would turn into a group buy as I missed out on the r4 GB mostly because I didn't realize that it was going on or what it was. But it's all good. When I hit my 60 posts I will just start a WTB thread for one.

I've just lost all bodily functions when I saw this. PLEASE anyone do this Group Buy soon. 8)

Makes me want to smear glue all over my body and jump onto this key-set for some close body contact. My Mrs is extremely jealous. :-*

Hak Foo · « **Reply #49 on:** Wed, 03 April 2013, 23:46:34 »

Isn't that the Round One group buy? It was the least "retro-accurate" -- lowercase and non-centred legends all over the place.
