What is the name of this set? I'd like a set for my Filco.

-

-

-

closed ATM
haha
BTH, I'm really not sure if it is closed or not. I don't even think 7bit knows if it's closed or not ^___^

Well you can still order what's left but the order has been sent to SP
-
Or get the real deal that set was trying to imitate and get a Dolch!
-
Just to be clear, this is _not_ the set that is currently being produced for R4. This is a Round 1 set. R1 and R3 sets have the same big, centered alpha keys, but the modifiers are different. R1 has standard SP modifiers (a la CCnG), while R3 sets (including the ones that are part of R4) have modifiers in all capital letters.

Can't wait to get my R4 R3 in Orange!

pm'd 7-bit but no reply. still looking. so for the Dolch set I would have to find an old vintage ansi layout cherry keyboard and get a moogle converter kit? would it come with the orange wasd keys? I am new to this.

A lot of the round4 stuff is sold out already other than modifier and whatnots, but it's easier to check deskthority as that's where the sale is at. Plus it's easier to get ahold of 7bit there.
Of course, that's not to say I would be opposed to helping you out, if you were ok with just having a tenkeyless kit. I've got a round 4 and a round 3 orange set coming and I wouldn't be opposed to selling you the round 4 inputs (gray) and round 3 mods(black) with the wsad from round 3 orange for what I paid (aka no profit). But I don't think the text is the same color. Pics included to see what I'm talking about.

7bit is on vacation for a few weeks.
Your best bet now is to wait for the Dolch replica set to get the grey and blacks. That is going to be quite some time, but even if you had gotten in on the Round4, it would still be months of waiting.
Then all you would need is the orange WASD. There is currently (AFAIK) a leftover ROUND3 GAMER kit in orange that you could order, but the font will be different from Hashbaz's Dolch replicas. The color scheme will be what you see up there in that picture, though.
If you need help ordering from 7bit's Round4, just PM me.

Right, if you want to go for the Dolch you need to get one of these bad boys, a Dolch PAC (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dolch-Pac-64-Pentium-CD-ROM-Floppy-Drive-as-is-for-parts-or-repair-/370637797684?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564bbbf934). Sometimes it's possible to negotiate the seller to sell the keyboard only. The keyboards are nice Cherry MX too, so it's worth having it for more than just the keycaps.
