Speaking of spacebars, do you have any suggestions for a 7x spacebar that would somewhat match this set?

Titanium?
Don't really want to pay that much or spend the time hunting that down. Besides, that would be lighter than this keycap set. Titanium would be more of a lighter grey, this set is a lot closer to black than grey.

Hit up the ol' Signature Plastics then, you'll have a hell of a time finding black 7x on it's own otherwise.
I have and I can't figure out which color to go with, I am thinking GX in the bottom right might work for me.

Might as well ask this here. What color matches the off-white or creamy space bar from cherry the closest?

Keys are in production now. Once the physical keys have been made, the dyesub needs to happen, then Ivan can start shipping them out. Exactly how long that'll take is anyone's guess. These custom set buys take some time, but are well worth it :)

Sigh... 10 months is a long wait for keycaps. I believe a couple of 7bit's Group Buys have taken longer, though.
Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,
but I must have them.

The longer the wait, the sweeter the satisfaction when they finally arrive. That being said this is my first group buy, and knowing what I know now I wish I had signed up for a couple more lol. Only having this one thread to check 3 times a day was painful to the nth degree

Anyone want to trade their Cherry or  Cyrillic order for my Penumbra set with white alphas and tsangan? Unused.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Keycool does but the caps are OEM profile and a tad thin.

KBC used to sell really amazing Rainbow POM keycaps but hasn't manufactured any in a long time - and neither Feng, Imsto, or Qtan seem interested in getting more.

You could steal POM off a Cherry board - but it won't be complete - and they will have lasered legends.

Very very rare.  WORTH the wait.

They're not Cherry profile, though. Somewhere in between OEM and Cherry from what I can tell.

I'm also looking forward to some nice high quality POM caps in Cherry profile... Please? I don't mind waiting for them.

Assuming payment was taken in the next month or two I would have no problems waiting until 3rd/4th quarter 2015 for delivery.
