Title: Existence of Vim and Glider Keycaps
Post by: metafour on Sun, 29 January 2012, 19:53:55

I've seen at least one picture of a Vim keycap but I didn't find any Glider keycap pictures.

Were the Vim keycaps ever made as a caps lock size key?

Was the Glider key ever made? If so did it come in a 1.25 modifier size?

I know that both of these are available in the Round 4 SP group buy but it seems as though there's a mutiny going on with it right now and these are the only keys that I was trying to order from it originally.

Thanks!

Was it only the fairly-high-profile spherical key that was made?

The gliders were added to R4 at my behest. They will be available in at least R1 1X (escape) and R4 1.25X (modifier) sizes. You can see a picture of what it'll look like at the link below (which also explains what it's about).

I've pledged to order enough of NOIR/GLIDERESC and NOIR/GLIDER125 to work.
