I just wish I could render myself a nice new clean desk :))

Post by: TerryMathews on Thu, 15 December 2016, 17:25:43: I was thinking about adapting the Dasher D2 logo that is on the Massdrop pics (on the OG board) into either a vinyl sticker or a metal plaque of some sort.

I was thinking about deleting the Data General part, just having the logo then Dasher SA blue over white.

Is this something anyone else would be interested in? My plan for it is to fit in the space between the bottom of the six nav keys and the top of the arrow keys on a TKL board. Dasher is going on my TANK V2.

Open to suggestions as well.

Post by: zslane on Thu, 15 December 2016, 18:05:44: There is a R2 1.5u BACKSPACE key in the SPECIALTY kit.

Where do you see a "DELETE" key?

Post by: zslane on Fri, 16 December 2016, 12:26:36: Oh. That is just a concept render by Zambumon, with a good measure of artistic license applied. It is not necessarily representative of the keycaps legends in this set. The only official manifest of the available keycaps (and their legends) is the kit renders (by me).

Thanks for letting us know, even though I never picked those extras (not needed) good for those that want it :thumb: .

Bring on the Blue Wonder, we desperately require it on all of our keyboards ;D .

Have keyset extras been available before in these regular "bazaar" sales?

I believe that's normally when I've seen the extras go up but, I admit, it's been a while and I may not be remembering correctly.

No probs, like it would ever happen with key-caps getting your order at the mentioned deadline.

Yeah, this is true. Though I was hoping it wouldn't quite be so long a delay.

All of 7bit's Group Buys move at Glacial speeds here, so when the entire Greenland Glacier empties into the Atlantic Ocean you shall get your key-caps :thumb: .

Post by: Niomosy on Thu, 09 February 2017, 13:46:29: I don't know that anything can really compare with 7bit's buys. They're definitely very unique from start to finish.

Post by: Niomosy on Fri, 15 September 2017, 18:18:35: Renders try to be as accurate as they can but there's lots of variables that go into how pictures of caps turn out.

I just hope I get a shipping notice soon.
Title: Re: [GB] SA Dasher and Dancer - (GB completed)
Post by: zslane on Fri, 15 September 2017, 19:25:35: Yeah, those early photos on reddit are in super bright direct sunlight. My renders attempted to provide a more conventional "indoors" look. Compared to a photo that isn't stopped down to a proper exposure level, the renders that I, thesiscamper, and zambumon created are positively dim and drab.

There will be a ton of people selling them on the aftermarket. I sold mine on Mechmarket. Didn't even open the package, was happy to see them gone after this long wait.

Oh, cool. Did you go back to pick up these numbers? I was confused. Really hoping this is a success in MT3 as well. Plan on buying a lot of kits. I own Dasher kits, but I'm still looking for a Dancer set.

This is a great graph.

Holding off on MT3 but if this runs in GMK, I’m in for both colorways.

Yes. I figured with MT3 Dasher running, it’d be interesting to see the SA numbers.
