Oddly enough, my several honeywell keyboards have a different colour scheme. Fortunately it's already been done on one (coffee/cream is a lot like retro dsa) and the other's ugly. Then again, my honeywell keyboards are at least 8 years older than the one this is modeled after.

This looks very well organized: I hope it'll take less time than R4 did, and I'm glad Dvorak is again an option. I'll have to decide what keyboard I want these on: a normal TKL or a lightsaver.

There were a few pokers that were posted ages ago that gave me more of a Nintendo feeling.  They were more light gray and dark gray with touches of black or orange.

The red and black kit are all row 3. Wouldn't that make the keyboard a bit flat throughout? I was in on the red and black as it looked sexy only to realise it would make my Poker too flat. I wonder why he went with all row 3.

Are these MX-compatible by any chance?

EDIT: Judging by the responses, they would be. Would consider if they were PBT, but sadly not..

Really like this set, and I've yet to try DSA... just can't got back to ABS. Signature Plastics really needs to expand on their PBT line, or people need to organize more SP PBT buys! Spacebar needs to be PBT! why are they so scare to make them?

I was thinking about using that for a function key in place of a control in a 1.5 mod layout.

They themselves seem to like stating those ignorant comments on this forum as facts, yet have never produced any pics proving their ridiculous claims.

YES, SA profile produced by SP is the only profile worth getting due to their larger than life wall thickness compared to all of their DCS and DSA profiles.

I know right!

Keep in mind that the red is all flat profile, so you can dvorak that up anytime (as long as you are okay with flat) whereas the normal dvorak kit is sculpted profile, like the qwerty will be.

I like that "Leary" but don't worry.  7bit has learned from R4 in what NOT to do.  That is why he's going to finish this GB towards the end of this month.  Then Early next year SP will make it.

Because this GB doesn't have hundreds of choices/colours like what R4 had, hence it'll get made sooner.

You never know how each Group Buy goes.  He may get the required MOQ or maybe not.

Shame if it's still around till May 2014  :-\ .  I didn't know that SP raised their amount of orders required to build, I hope they're not imitating GMK/BSP order numbers now?

They would probably have to improve the thickness of their caps to be able to compete if they did that.  Especially since the GMK/BSP group buys have a lot of interest now days...

Not sure if you have seen an SA-profile spherical cap from SP, but they are every bit as thick as caps from GMK/BSP, if not thicker.

That's what those Round 5 caps are, SA. Not DSA or DCS. I don't think you're the only one confused about that.

You are absolutely right.  There is nothing to complain about with the SA line from SP.  I believe that GMK/BSP would be competing with SP DCS/DSA caps.  That is where I think SP would lose out if they tried to increase the MOQ.

For anyone who's confused about the caps, this is a shot of the thicknesses. The caps from left to right? SP DCS (It's a R2 420 Smiley so yes it's DCS, I bought it from TechKeys), GMK Cherry (Olivetti Replica), SP DSA (DSA Retro GeekHack cap), SP SA (R4 Home, from a crap bag). Note how the SA cap is stepped so it's *really* thick.

The radius of curvature looks larger for these SA and DSA keycaps than filco OEM and DCS, more importantly, they are spherical rather than cylindrical, so they'll feel different no matter what.

I like sphericals and can't wait to order
Title: Re: Round 5 Doubleshot Honeywell Sphericals
Post by: F u r u y á on Sat, 02 November 2013, 15:16:59
So do they feel more flat to you?

My concern is very particular: I just want to know whether, even though they're spherical, the more flat surface allows to slide fingers between keycaps more easily (when compared to cylindrical). If so, I'd assume that that characteristic stands regardless of the direction (because of the circular symmetry), whilst with cylindrical it's much more easy to slide up/down direction than to left/right direction. And that'd be a very nice characteristic to me (unfortunately, I guess Round 5 won't have SA in more slippery material like PBT or POM).

I have an invoice of around $200. And then I managed to grab my hands on a TKL R4 from someone else - and I really like the R4 SPH - so since I spent money on the R4, I decided to take away the black/red kit and just go for basic R5 - and my order came down to $100. I am happy.

I also thought that the GB will run till end of the month. It's just that if you ordered by today, which is the birthday of 7bit, you get a 5% rebate.

So, not so much of a savings. I only want about $29 worth, and could trim that, too. A red shift, a blue backspace, and the Dvorak kit.

Although maybe I better hurry up and order just to make sure the dvorak kit makes the cut.

I think this Group Buy is going to sink me deeply because there's too much additions that are available.  Who would think that within the Honeywell layout you could choose so many extras to cover all sorts of keyboards.

Just so I understand this profile layout: the 1.25x modifier row (Ctrl row) will be Row 3-profile, right? 

Just looking at 7bit's post where he says the following:

"Only 1, 1.5, 1.75 and 2 units keys exist in a row 4 variant. It would look a bit asymmetric if there where a 1.25 units, row 3 key on the left and a 1.75, row 4 key on the right.

Result: Modifiers below row 3 are all row 3."

Ah right yes.  My bad.  Still a curve for number row and bottom row.  But anyway, why would 60% keyboards be any different other than the function row?  Still seems reasonable.
Title: Re: Round 5 Doubleshot Honeywell Sphericals

How I look at it is that it is a trade off.  You get support for non-querty layouts but loose some ergonomics. To me it feels like sacrifice is a bit bigger for keyboards that end up not having row1 at all.  Hmm, but I guess it just because I type querty  :)
Title: Re: Round 5 Doubleshot Honeywell Sphericals
Post by: dorkvader on Fri, 22 November 2013, 01:48:37
SA "done right" would also have the function keys be R3 (flat) as it is with the majority of vintage spherical keyboards  that I am aware of.

But basically every set is row1 for function row. Unless you have it on a 75% or similar, you won't be touchtyping the function row anyway as it is set apart, and it makes more sense to have them be flat.

Nevertheless, this GH fulfills the "big picture" so little details such as mismatching modifiers and odd profile rows are no big deal. The KB it's based on isn't sculped at all even (and I am aware of very few sculpted honeywell microswitch keyboards)
Title: Re: Round 5 Doubleshot Honeywell Sphericals

We had a poll about the F1-F12 function row and most wanted it row 1 instead of row 3:
(http://deskthority.net/w/images/f/f1/HONEY_rows.png)

If there are enough orders overall, I might add F1-F24 all in row 3, plus numpad in all row 3.

There are 2 function kits (HONEY/FUNCTION/R3 and HONEY/FUNCTION7) which consist of row 3 function keys.

BTW: The Standard kit of the 23 Command group buy was $68.40, while HONEY/TKL+HONEY/SPACE625 is only $69.68 including shipping worldwide and PayPal fees!

If that's true, it's disappointing that Round5 doesn't follow the improved more ergonomic layout Jil_jil did and that I think Penumbra will follow.

I disagree here. I see two major differences between the sets:

1) Commando is using row 3 for all the rows that have alphas. While this is more convenient if you want to make your own dvorak or colemak set and might be more appealing optically because the shift keys have the same profile as the alpha keys on the same row, it's certainly less ergonomic. You basically have a flat field of alphas, which conflicts with the whole point of profiles. Round 5 has a dedicated sets for colemak, Dvarak and BEPO, which is clearly the better solution.

2) Commando is using row 4 for Control/Windows/Alt: I agree that this is more ergonomic than using row 3. I thought the reason for that was that there was no 1.25u row 4 mold, but the new pictures from commando show that it exists. EDIT: 7bit tells me that 1.25u row 4 molds only exist in matte, not semi-matte top surface. Which would be inconsistent with the other keys, and the Commando set is in fact inconsistent in that respect.

We had a poll about the F1-F12 function row and most wanted it row 1 instead of row 3:

(http://deskthority.net/w/images/f/f1/HONEY_rows.png)


If there are enough orders overall, I might add F1-F24 all in row 3, plus numpad in all row 3.

There are 2 function kits (HONEY/FUNCTION/R3 and HONEY/FUNCTION7) which consist of row 3 function keys.

BTW: The Standard kit of the 23 Command group buy was $68.40, while HONEY/TKL+HONEY/SPACE625 is only $69.68 including shipping worldwide and PayPal fees!
Thanks very much for the reply! It makes sense how you did it, and I am again impressed with your tendency to include many options. Perhaps I'll get some row three function keys as well.

Drafting my initial order came out to $280!!!

DAMN - I'm gonna have to cut this down: it's like a battle between my wallet and a fear that if I don't get the combos I want, I will never be able to finish or vary the set the way I like it...

okay - I've cut it down to $240 - need to trim some more

now down to $195, but I need to cut down more - why did bit7 give us so many choices?!?!?  the agony/the ecstasy

ok - down to $127 + $7 shipping - time to get some zzzz's

Just sent in an order for $128 (my very FIRST GB!)

It's quite amazing that after trying out various color combinations, the classiest/best-looking combination appears to be the original Honeywell colors.

So I just combined pieces the best I could to get it to look like the original and added a little extra.

HONEY/TKL
HONEY/TILDEBPRIME/GREY
HONEY/VERTBSL150/GREY
HONEY/RETURN225/RED
HONEY/SPACE625

Extras:
HONEY/TKL/BASE/BLACK (black hides the space-row modifiers in my black case)
HONEY/FUNCTION/RED (gotta have that red panic button)

Included 1x "0" and "00" caps instead of just one long "0" for the numpad section.  Or "0" and "," instead of long "0". Is anyone getting a kit with those caps in 1x size that won't get used?

I would say the forums mostly have a health level of teasing / mocking that occasionally is unhealthy, but such is the nature of these sort of things. I had some of this directed to me once, and was a bit miffed, but I've moved on, and I hope everyone else has too.

I did the math and instead of getting a 60% kit, I got the $59 TKL kit and added the 1.75 shift and a lotus for the Fn key as well as a couple other single keys.  Unless you are buying the 60% for additional keys, it is probably cheaper to just get the cheapest TKL kit and add a few keys...

I think I kept it realistic.  In the ballpark of $150 I think.  I got one set which will work for any config of 60%, 75% or TKL and I also got a 40% set because, well, it was there and is so perty...  Now I just need to get a 40% board.  Haha...

I asked in the Simple Questions Simple Answers thread, but perhaps it wasn't so simple as I got no reply.  Are SA caps sufficiently different from OEM/DCS/Cherry that they require a learning curve in terms of typing accuracy/comfort?  I imagine they won't be as different as DSA, which was dramatically different, and I had a very difficult time with it (to the point where I sold my DSA Retro kit after a week of owning it).  But like, other than the height, would it be more or less straightforward to type on SA caps after a day or two?  In the standard SA layout that is--I imagine the 23 Commando layout will be a bit more like DSA with the flat profile in the center.

If you had a bad time with DSA, you will have trouble with SA.  I don't have much trouble, though.  I mis-type a few things at first, especially with my pinky, but I settle in to the different profiles pretty quickly.

I asked in the Simple Questions Simple Answers thread, but perhaps it wasn't so simple as I got no reply.  Are SA caps sufficiently different from OEM/DCS/Cherry that they require a learning curve in terms of typing accuracy/comfort?  I imagine they won't be as different as DSA, which was dramatically different, and I had a very difficult time with it (to the point where I sold my DSA Retro kit after a week of owning it).  But like, other than the height, would it be more or less straightforward to type on SA caps after a day or two?  In the standard SA layout that is--I imagine the 23 Commando layout will be a bit more like DSA with the flat profile in the center.

I could send you a few SA caps if you like....can't be much help otherwise as I have not used them on a board yet.

Well, it's okay.  I'm giving DSA another shot with Hyper Fuse.  All of my keyboards (other than a Dell at work) will have spherical caps soon, so I suppose I'll just have to get used to them.  Was curious about SA as I hadn't tried it before.

I replied (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.msg1143060#msg1143060) but it was a bit delayed since I was AFK for Thanksgiving. Seems like people who has tried/used SA are limited though since SA wasn't as popular as it seems to be now.

Ah nice, didn't notice that!  Your reply seems in line with what I expected.  I didn't have any trouble going back and forth between Cherry/DSC and OEM.  I can tell that they are different, but can type equally fast with no errors on both.  DSA was different, because I was stretching my fingers to where I was expecting to find a cap surface... but it wasn't there.  It was at a different angle and felt farther away.  Was definitely awkward in that sense and felt like a lot more of a hand workout. 

Only thing I dislike is that aluminum custom keyboards are already tall enough at the front.  Add SA caps to them, and you get a proper typewriter :)  Time to plan for a better wrist rest!

SA keycaps are definitely tall, but I actually like the tall profile better than DSA short profile. DSA just seems flat to me, and like you described, my fingers reach for a key and it's not there, until I reach more.

I tried my SA set on my Filco with blacks on TypeRacer, and my speed was about the same as with DCS profile caps (~55WPM).

Would the Honeywell keys be compatible, profile wise, with the filco set? I think I read something on DT about the rows being different or something, but I can't find it. I just want the black mods mostly. Would they be good with the Honeywell alphas?

The new dark brown SA Filco set is made by SP too, and I'm guessing it will be the same profile as Honeywell, as both use SA's standard row layout.

Question:HONEY/BLACK/TKL is the same as the new Filco SPH, right? Looks like it.

7bit:No it is not. They use row 3 for most of the keys and row 2 for Function and number row. Also, they glue their stabiliser inserts into the keys, so they are not useful on keyboard that do not have Filco stablisers.
:mad:

There is one more thing: Their text placement is off-center.

In other words: Just forget about them!
I found the post actually.. Here's what 7bit posted.

I gotta admit that the SPH profile takes some adjustment. The way the profile stands would have cause my fingers to know each other. Now I begin to see how it is not for everybody and perhaps a All row 3 would be better. Maybe 7bit will kill me. LOL.

After Round 4, 7bit would do well to stick to a deadline if he wants to earn back some trust.  Not only has Round 5 blown past the deadline, but kits continue to be added and prices adjusted.  It is now impossible to predict when the buy will close.

I bought my sets right before the 'deadline' and paid right away.  Then I got an email saying that I had $5 credit, "go buy more cap", so I picked up 5 additional singles.  Then I got an email that said "you're all square".  Then a week later I got an email saying "You owe $3.18"...  I think the exchange rate is also a factor in this.

I am not going to worry about it until everything is finished because I don't want to pay more and then have credit again...
Title: Re: Round 5 Doubleshot Honeywell Sphericals
Post by: Photoelectric on Tue, 10 December 2013, 12:50:14
I've yet to see anything that says I have credit, even though I paid a few dollars more than what the current total is.  It's confusing, because there are reports of people saying that they have some "credit".  Makes me wonder if my payment was registered at all, because I just get invoices with the total.  Up to five now (though I did swap 1 cap yesterday, so that'd be where the 5th one came from).

P.S.: the multiple pools of money as well as paying before the total becomes static is just silly in my opinion.  A lot of room for error.

It includes all the keys of HONEY/TENKLESS but in black and grey.

HURRY UP! because we have just few hours left and if we want to reach a decent pricing on that we have to increase the order count.

Yeah when I saw the Grey and Blacks I nearly keeled over in utter frustration because I had thought I had selected the right combination of colour-ways and was saving up for the final payment, then these presented themselves.

Have now re-alined my order to include these babies.  How can you ignore such beauty & colour in an SA Profile?

The grey and blacks looked really good. It could emulate an old IBM terminal keyboard. But I asked myself, is it really in the spirit of being Honeywell keyboard? It's not. And I do have enough SA key caps. So I stuck to HONEY/TKL and some red escapes and space bars.

I would love to go grey/blacks if I have the funds but I need to prioritise. Grey and Blacks and not HONEY anymore as far as I am concerned. So, 7bit still owe me $10 :P

It includes all the keys of HONEY/TENKLESS but in black and grey.

HURRY UP! because we have just few hours left and if we want to reach a decent pricing on that we have to increase the order count.

PS: remember to get the grey spacebars too!

Aaaand there goes all my money.

I don't know if this GB will ever see the light of the day. But it's my first time participating in 7bit's GB and I heard round 4 took even longer! I shudder to think when it will end.

While it does keep growing 7bit has already said he won't drag it out like R4.

He's already blown by deadlines.  I don't know why we should expect this to be different.  I already cancelled my order but he isn't making with the refunds.
I find that it is just taking too long and am wondering if I could cancel, get the refund, and channel the money to get a Silver Brobot instead. As it is, I already have too many key caps set as well. Have anyone got the refund? Is it in days after cancellation? If I have to wait until the 'sale' ends to get a refund, I would have missed the Silver Brobot, then it is moot again.

In the dt thread it says 3 days left and in the GB thread it says that the 15 sp should be starting. Or at least that sp SHOULD be starting then.

the new % is related to the new white kits (when it reaches 100% you can hope in a price drop for those kits)

Feb 28 deadline is based on SP schedule and it's not 7bit's fault.

7bit GBs seem always to take some time, but there's no problem with updates and communication, so it's fine by me.

The % in the title is the % of the minimum quantity necessary for the all white sets to be ordered.  So at 100% they will be ordered.
The delay to feb was because of tooling that needs to be made.

For me it is  :thumb: .  By far 7bit's Honeywell drew out the sweetness from my wallet big time.  I'm use to the way he runs things because he has done it a few times before so no one should be standing here shedding tears, on why this GB is taking so long.  In the end they will get made and sent to your address, enough said.

You all heard it here.  The final countdown is happening hence send in the moolah.  The Honeywell is one of the BEST SA profile available and will fit any type of keyboard currently made in the world.

You can always rely on 7bit to let you know here, instead of some scumbags who disappear after taking your money and will never let you know what's going on.  7bit is updating his thread here as well as on DT, hence you will always know what's happening during any Group Buy that he conducts  :thumb: .

This is the single MOST reason why I get involved with any GB's he runs because he will always deliver the final product from SP, to your front door without any problems.  That comes from years of exposure in running such events and you shall experience that when you receive the items you paid for in full and appreciate 7bit's skill, in accomplishing such huge and successful campaigns such as this.

Even if you leave 7-bit out of the equation: You got an order of probably about $200-$250 and you think about spending $58 for insurance? If I calculate right, there would have to be a probability of about 1/4 of your parcel getting lost for that to be worth it. I don't think the risk is anywhere near that.

"Leftovers" in this case means things which are scheduled to be made but have not been produced or claimed yet.
Title: Re: Round 5 Doubleshot Honeywell Sphericals
Post by: swill on Fri, 18 April 2014, 14:42:41
I understand the concept, but that does not answer the question.

Are you saying that all the 'leftovers' have to be claimed before it goes into production. I hope not...

Leftovers are often available after the sets are shipping (in other GBs).

Is there anything holding this up from going into production? Has it already started being produced?

Orders are locked, key caps are ordered, production will soon begin!

My interpretation of this is that the order has been placed with SP and that it is on their production schedule.  So it should just be a matter of weeks now before the finished keys are shipped to 7bit.

The "leftovers" listing is just 7bit getting a jump on the normal post-GB extras sale.

ahhh. i figured he just ordered a bunch of extra kits to meet MOQ and hopes to sell the pieces as the sets are shipped out.  i guess i was wrong. wouldnt be the first time.

No, I think you are exactly right.  The order has been placed, and the numbers of each kit that will be produced are fixed.  But he is preselling the extras that he added to round up to MOQ and whatever other balancing he has done.

7bit wrote on dt that he had to order at least 25 of each single key. That's where the "leftovers" come from.

7bit's price calculations must be an huge exercise in sophomore stochastics.

I just enter the figures from SP and a little script does the rest. If Melissa would send them as plain ASCII instead of a PDF-file, I could just feed the text list into it and had an even easier job.

the use of the bot is one of the reasons i think he is 'the man'.  that was the coolest group buy order process i have seen yet. and that wiki?!  good god that had a lot of info. that wiki had me entertained for days as i tried to come up with which combos to order.

If you only want to fill your ANSI Filco, there may be no need for gigantic hundreds-of-kits groupbuys like 7bit's. But if you want to get to the more special stuff, big and long-running is definitely beautiful, and 7bit is the unchallenged master of that.  :cool:

I just asked (http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/doubleshot-replacements-round-5-honey-sphericals-t6732-5190.html#p165720) him to clarify the production situation on DT:

Quote from: 7bit
We paid enough for production and I've asked her twice when they will start, but did not get an answer.
:-(

I just hope I don't hate SA profile considering how much money I spent on R5 :shiftyeyes:

I hear that...  I between this GB and the others here on GH, I have purchased enough SA for 4 keyboards.  I also got the DSA Granite set and the GMK Dolch set...  WHAT AM I DOING???  I have lots of build projects and they will need caps, but still, I think I may have been a bit excessive...

Once you get bitten with SA you can't leave it alone ever  :thumb: .  Going back to DCS or even DSA is a crime in itself, because the absolute BEST profile ever made by SP is this.  I know I've made a few DCS fanatics sad and alone with their anguish for ever buying that profile but I'm afraid that's how the ball bounces here on Geekhack. 

SA is simply the BEST available from SP, enough said  ^-^ .

I think I have been very reasonable this time.  I only ended up getting 3 complete sets and a selection of single caps...  :)

If anyone is willing to part with enough  keys to make a 40% or a 40% kit I've got $100 plus shipping get with your name on it! I bought the Smallfry kit and would need the keys for that, including the space bar just to be clear.
 
 
EDIT: I've decided to go with the nuclear group by so nevermind. Thanks!

Believe it or not, but SP is still struggling with Round 5 production. Earliest expected delivery date will be around end of October.
:o

Nevertheless, I started Round 5a some days ago!
:shock:

Here is what might be available, should there be enough orders:

Yes, it is the same group buy. To block shipping of your Round 5 order (kits that start with "HONEY/" or "SPH/") just order the HONEYB kit (for free!!!)

Round 5a does not delay Round 5. In fact it is a separate order, but sold through the same group buy system.

As someone who missed out on Round 5, Round 5a's looking good! But as someone who'd like to deck out an ErgoDox, am I out of options when it comes to modifiers?

Just an ErgoDox kit with blanks, or with text?

And if with text, what should be on it?

As much as I'd love ones with text on them, I know that everyone's going to have a different idea of what should be on them. It seems like the Granite ErgoDox pack hit the 90% case for most people, though. But in place of modifiers like that I'd totally be up for some blank 1-4 row-matched 1.5u modifiers, some row 3 1u blanks, and some row 3 2u blanks.

A violet/cream and blue/gray ErgoDox would totally be in my future. :)

I just went through the R5 offerings and I think that bringing back the blank ERGOBASE sets in the various R5a colors would be awesome. I'd definitely be in for a few sets of those.

So if I pay before Sept. 30th I can get the 25% discount? and if we reach lower price point I will get a refund of the difference?

I'm already signed up for R5a, but any combination of legended keys from the Granite Ergodoxian kit would be an instant buy for me.  If we had an option to buy additional, individual blanks too, all the better.  :)

This is the set as it was last run on Massdrop:

You'd have to trim some keys from that to get it to an attractive price point.

I have been seriously out of touch with this GB. Can someone enlighten me please on the status? Why do I still see orders being taken, discount given, etc? I thought it's already in production? This must be the longest GB evar!

Key caps are indeed still in production. SP is not that fast and it seems they stop production whenever there is a new small group buy started.
It is like a freight train that has to stop and wait for every other train.

This is doable. Most keys exist in other kits already.

We already have vertical ENTER and the vertical blank.
The 1.5 units keys:
SHIFT and TAB exist and ENTER, DELETE and ESCAPE would be useful to others.
Exclusive to this would be the other 1.5 units keys. Same for vertical SHIFT, DEL, BACK SPACE and FN.

Because the Ergodox comes wiuth the ability to mount the switches ad  1 unit keys instead of 1.5, there should be no urgent need to add expensive 1.5 units keys of things like ?/ {[ and }].

I will make an ERGOMOD/RED kit that contains these keys:
vertical 2 units:
SHIFT
DEL
BACK,SPACE
FN or FUN
ENTER

vertical 1.5 units keys:
FN
FN

maybe something else?

I will add a kit with 1.5 units square, triangle, circle and diamond keys, that might be useful.

I've been trying to find an answer for this without having much luck. Since ErgoDox kits are a niche kit for an already niche product, they aren't exactly a huge volume seller. What happens if we build a complete set around one of these kits and the kit doesn't reach MOQ? Are we able to back out? Or are we committed to buying an incomplete set?

This worries me because Pulse, which is fairly popular, has fewer than 13 Halfadox kits committed with only the one color choice. If there's a MOQ on the ErgoDox sets in Round 5a, I'm not sure there's going to be enough demand since it looks like there are going to be legended/non-legended choices spread out among 6 different color choices.

Any chance of a vertical 2u Alt in that kit?  Yes, I'm a weirdo.   :-[

We've already got lots of options for Shift as a single key.  Maybe swap the Shift with Alt?

Is the vertical Enter you referenced earlier the one from the numpad operators kits?

The blank Ergo kits are no problem, as they require only 2 or 3 orders of each color to reach the 25 keys MOQ.

The Ergo keys with legends on them (ie the vertical keys, except for ENTER) are only useful on trhe ErgoDox, so might not reach the MOQ in every color.

However, I will not lock down HONEYB orders right now, so you can always take something else if your color-scheme will not work out, or get a refund.

Yes, ENTER is from the numpad.
I can also offer a vertical +.

I added ALT for now.

Oh, it's 25 keys? That changes everything; my interpretation of what's on the wiki was that 25 full kits was the MOQ. Going to put in an order then. :) Thanks!

7bit has extended the 25% Autumn rebate until 37th September!  So you still have until, er, next Tuesday to take advantage of the offer.

Some new kits have been made available since the original array of kits was posted.  The triangle cursors are back, and a function kit is in development.

Both are orderable in all six mod/function colours - Round 5 grey, white, black and red; Round 4 SPH blue and Round 5a violett.

As far as I know all prices are final, there is no partial refund option for the bot. If it's not mentioned on the wiki page it does not exist.

I would wait for  7bit's reply before you pay.  My take on this is that a)  the prices might still come down a bit and b) it makes sense to pay right now because AFAIK you still get the 25% rebate at the moment,  but only if you pay soon. And c) you can still always delete or change items from your order and get a refund as long as 7bit hasn't locked the orders,  which he does just before preparing the actual order to SP.

The thing is, my taste has changed since this GB. When it started I have only a Code and Poker. Over the year, I have since acquired a RealForce and a HHKB and sold the Poker. And some key sets came eg Penumbra. And then lots of artisan caps. I've even forgotten how Honey is suppose to fit into my keyboard scheme (which has changed with times). If I could stick with PMK, I just might but I can't refund, right? I've already considered this as a write off but I'm just amaze how supportive people have been. I'm not doubting 7bit's ability to deliver. Just finding it ridiculous that his Gb took so damn long and no end in sight!

With all of 7bit's Group Buys it is ONLY for the HARD CORE fanatics.  We are the ones that can wait for the Canadian Glacial Mountains to melt their way into the North Atlantic hence we are extremely patient.  Only because 7bit has delivered in the past that is why he has earned our trust.

If this was some newbie running his FIRST Group Buy then everyone has a right to get worried and suspicious.

In the end 7bit will deliver on his R5 simply because he has never failed to deliver on all his previous GB's  8) .

Yeah. With Penumbra, they keys are made. Just need time to sort.
(Disclosure: I've already received Penumbra months ago!)

With 7bit's Round 5, the keys are not even made after a year!

To be fair, this was mostly Signature Plastic's fault.
Really? You really think so? All other GB - Penumbra, Bro set, Galaxy set, etc etc etc are all by Signature Plastics too.

I suppose they would love to produce for 7bit because hey, he has TONS of orders right, compare to these smaller GBs. I am not buying it. But anyway, we should take this discussion over to Honey thread and not in this thread.

According to what 7bit has posted on DT, SP would stop production on R5 and do all the other smaller group buys in between.

Hi 7bit,

I'm sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news but I don't expect us to
complete Round 5 until the end of January. We still have approximately 25%
(300 of 1200 items) left to produce. Unfortunately we have had other
requirements on this tooling and have had to continually interrupt your
order.
Right now January's production schedule has no SA requirements so we
will be able to run uninterrupted through the month. Again, I apologize for
the ongoing delays.

If I ever order anything again, I want a fixed delivery date!

BTW: What he wants to tell us: If no mini-SA-family group buy starts right now, we might be lucky to get them by end of January (ie mid-February).

Me too, and 7bit just confirmed that they are a brighter red in fact. He's got some grab bags already with Round 5 stuff. It's just a badly balanced iPhone photo.

Round 5 / HONEY

                  Production has finished!

           As soon as the remaining keys are here
            I will sort them and ship the orders!

        Sorting and shipping will take one month each!

Mayhap by the end of April 2015 R5 will actually ship?  Mind Blown!

This was my first ever GB since I joined Geekhack and keyboard scene. Since then, I've owned at least 5 sets from other GB. I'm not sure I want to participate in future 7bit mega GB. It's mega for a good while and then spun out of control. Seriously - does the set even look like Honeywell anymore? It has almost all colors combo in the world.

I went in hoping for the best but not believing the hype. With 7bit you gotta assume a lengthy buy, but this one is a record. Also, there were quite a few production delays as the R5 order was repeatedly bumped behind smaller PMK orders.  :mad:

He has mentioned using the PMK Group Buy system to get a superior/guaranteed production slot, since SP prioritizes the PMK orders higher in the production queue.  Not sure how he'll pull that off, but it sounds like a good plan to me.  I've had an order for Round 5a since shortly after they were opened.  We'll see how long it takes...

FIRST wait and see if anyone actually RECEIVES their key-sets first to which they had paid, since middle of last year.

When they start getting and posting their keys online here or on DT then you can believe that his Group Buy had occurred.

Ha! Yes I have an extra black Q. I think it's row 2, though.

My order came with two Qs, but no 1/!. You wouldn't happen to have that would you? Either way I can send you the Q because 7bit told me to keep it.
