As lots of people here and on KBDMania are hoping, i believe everything is going to work out fine.
Thanks for your effort to resolve these i3oilermaker.

Update:  SP is going to redo the legend and provide a picture of a prototype.  I will post it as soon as I get it.  I think we have worked out the issues and expect this one to be much closer to the mockup.

:thumb:  Hope this time they get the color and the image right.  Tell them that isn't a line they see there. lol

The color they said was right - just a bad camera/lighting.  It is BE

The prototype will be the wrong color, but we will be able to verify the legend.

Thanks for putting in the effort to try to fix this up :) it's strange to see something so simple end up so off given some of the other keys I've seen them produce.

Well this one was a little my fault and somewhat more their fault.  This was my first order with SP so I didn't realize how explicit I needed to be with how the legend needs to be made from the SVG. Now I know and should save some hassle in the future.

Here are some pics of the rejects...better in person than I thought. Oh they did it in the wrong color, but honestly I think it looks better in BFP than it would in BE.

Hopefully there won't be a roll back so we can chronicle how much of an idiot this guy is.

With a little bit of plastic jammed up into the mount it fits with my leopold/filco profile keys quite nicely!

I don't have the keys in hand, but in the pictures the fixed keys seem slightly off center. Is that just the pics?

Wow leehunz I counted those and double counted.  Really sorry if some got mixed up.  If you do want those 2 caps PM me, but hope the extra 92 caps made up for the mistake :)
