Double shot replacements ROUND THREE: Vote for Kits & Quantities!

[7bit]

And what about a 7bit keycap for this Round :third:

Having no 7bit nor iMav can't happen! It's a way to thank your work but you don't have an easy avatar to put on a keycap ^^

Thanks a lot!

It is not entirely my design, but I have my key already:

[British]

After thinking about it, frameless would most probably be better.

How much would it be for 8 (still ctrl/win/alt for Leopold/Archiss/ficlo) ?

[BababooeyHTJ]

☢

Hail to the king, baby.

Yeah, I would be down for one of those. That would have to be yellow and red.

[Culinia]

Yeah, I would be down for one of those. That would have to be yellow and red.

Same

Would also add Union Flag.

Dammit, you guys are costing me a fortune lol

[ejsteven]

Will the pirate flag be on a ctrl/win/alt key or a normal key?

[Moneyless]

Would putting these double shot keycaps on a Filco with Cherry Browns have a big impact on key feel? (If you get what I mean)

[lootbag]

Not really.
They are not that much thicker compared to Filco keycaps.
If you put on say... Cherry doubleshots, then there will be a different key feel in my opinion.

[Moneyless]

Alright, I've placed a preorder. :biggrin:

STANDARD 1
SPACEGREY 1
SPACEBLACK 1
ORANGE 1
AWESOMEYELLOW 1
ESCAPERED 1
AWITHDOT 1

Can't wait.

[Kacee]

Payment sent...

[heedpantsnow]

What about an "ANY" key?

[digitalleftovers]

What about an "ANY" key?

I have seen people with those and I want one!

[Moneyless]

I have seen people with those and I want one!

The OP says the Gamer Kits come with an "ANY KEY" key; but I'm guessing you guys mean just an "ANY KEY" key by itself.

[tacite]

Post from 7bit on first page said "any key" and "panic" key are only in blue or red Gamer kit (picture of kit). Dunno about orange or Blue on White kits.

[7bit]

Will the pirate flag be on a ctrl/win/alt key or a normal key?

Yes, it replaces the Windows key for those who love that ****ty Windows but don't want to pay for it.

Would putting these double shot keycaps on a Filco with Cherry Browns have a big impact on key feel? (If you get what I mean)

Key feel will improve, especially because the Filco has very bad-quality keys!

What about an "ANY" key?

ANY KEY is part of all those Gamer kits (ORANGE, WHITEONBLUE, RED).

I have seen people with those and I want one!

The get the Orange kit! Quick!

ORANGE 1

The OP says the Gamer Kits come with an "ANY KEY" key; but I'm guessing you guys mean just an "ANY KEY" key by itself.

How do you know at 06:30 GMT what I will say at 08:33 GMT

Post from 7bit on first page said "any key" and "panic" key are only in blue or red Gamer kit (picture of kit). Dunno about orange or Blue on White kits.

It is in all Gamer kits, just was too lazy to update that.

[heedpantsnow]

Sweet!  I'm already signed up for an ORANGE.  I'm excited!

[gilgam]

so we are the 7th of march
Do we close the group buy ?

[nav148]

i recieved my invoice but it didnt include TROLLFACEBLACK. Are there not enough votes or somthing?

[Ekaros]

Too many restrictions on process of making it in double shot so it was passed. Couldn't be made looking good.

[7bit]

No, we will not close this.

After the deadline, the stuff in your invoice will become permanent, so you can only add more, but can't reduce it anymore. Prices might sink down a bit, but will not raise anymore.

If you receive the newsletter with the poll-statistics, you can see kits which have a ? before thier description. These are kits for which you will get invoices later, after the deadline.

[Ekaros]

Just for intrest(on red), what is current price for newly made blank keys, 10 and 15? Or is it same as with letters?

[PostalWorker]

Paid my balance, now it's just down to waiting.  *sets up a tent next to his mailbox*

Even if SP would produce the keys today and iMav gets them by tomorrow:

How long do you think it will take to sort 30'000 key caps and other stuff[1] into over 100 kits ...



[1] not considering most of the blank keys and other additional stuff not in the invoices right now!!!

[hottrout]

I am totally up for a Pirate Key and at the very least a Duke Nuken Key.  You gotta love the duke :pray:

Gotta be huge container for those 3 cubic meters of keys O_O

I hope he isn't going to take a bath in them before we get those...

Can you do script which calculates the total amount of keycaps for all orders?

Currently, there are 31'360 key caps (or toy/tools) in the statistics.

[British]

You've added UNIONJACK to the list, but which version it is then, with or without border ?

[Culinia]

Currently, there are 31'360 key caps (or toy/tools) in the statistics.

Wow, 7bit - what have you got yourself into :lol:

[hottrout]

I just this morning received my first Filco (Majestouch 105M UKB, Tactile) (not trying to steal the topic btw).  I have been using an IBM Model M as well as an older cherry up until now.

I am very impressed with the feedback and solid build of this keyboard and can not wait for the key caps to arrive now so that I can retro it up.

~~ Excited ~~

BTW : Are there any of the clear kits that have printed letters or are they all unmarked ?

It was a joke, I know quite well it will take some time just for this order to be filled.  Which I'm quite OK with, I have patience in spades.

Hmm, nerf me can't do anything right... 31 dm^3, not 3m^3... Still 31 litres of keys

[Soarer]

Or... not far off half a mile of keys!

[7bit]

Or... not far off half a mile of keys!

All keys, put into a row whith their shortest sides (19mm) next to each other, would be 595.84m long.

It's gonna take 6 months just to sort the keys.  I don't envy you

31360/60/60
8.711111111

=> 8h, 42m, 40s

Should be doable!


I reallt got to do this considering larger keys, but for now: if these where all 1x1 keys, iMav needs a table with 3.364x3.364m^2 .

[British]

You mean that 1.5 units key in row 2 (QWERTY-row), right?
*
<>

I actually forgot µ was there as well...

So it would be:
µ
*  <>

If it's possible to have <> on the right lower-side of the key.

Will you create a reference for this ?


I'm also still waiting for your confirmation about UNIONJACK being borderless or not :wink:

Ask the Brits, or set up a thread with a poll:

- with frame
- without frame

µ is not text for SP, because they have only latin latters in their répertoire. We need to provide an SVG for your key.
=>
$5 per key if 25 keys are produced.

Sure thing, but I'm actually asking *you* what the UNIONJACK you added to your list refers to.

How could that not be in their "répertoire", since it's supposed to be part of the FR key set ?!

I must apologise for 7bit, he does not know what he is talking about.

I've sent PDF-s containing a lot of keys including those for FR layout to SP some years ago. And I got a response that these are doable.

On the other hand, I got a response to a requst about lambda, that this would require an SVG and that they don't have Greek letters.

I will ask for the mu.

So I guess SP might have started whining soon enough about some "odd" characters, if it wasn't for me *****ing about details, heh ? :wink:

Would you mind asking 7bit about this while you're spanking him proper ?

[manfaux]

The votebot picked this up but the invoicebot didn't.

So I just Paypalled iMav $6.



Isn't today the day the orders go in to Signature Plastics?

i really hope so..

I believe that 7bit is holding off from ordering (and invoicing us for) some of the less popular items for a bit longer.

He told us to wait for the Last invoice including them.

[7bit]

I'm impatient and lost my way around page 54 of this thread.

Anyway iMav has my money.  If the clears doesn't happen I'll donate for the 1GB of image hard drive space I take up with Lego pictures.

The clear keys will happen. I just did not want to collect $$$ when we a bit later need only $$.

All kits for which you got invoices contained kits which where quite stable in terms of quantitiy. Also I need an invoice from SP about those to see if my price calculations where right. I hope Melissa comes back with her price today ...


BTW:
CLEARBLANKALP..............2 (? Blank Alpha keys) ($12/15 #37)
CLEARBLANKFUN..............6 (? Blank Function keys) ($6/15 #16)
CLEARBLANKRET..............1 (? Blank J-Return and 1.25 Shift) ($14/6 #2)
CLEARBLANK................15 (? Blank keys) ($24/15 #90)
CLEARBLANKMOD.............12 (? Blank modifiers including space) ($38/10 #19)

Looks great, those 6*16+2*37 extra keys sum up with the 15 90 keys sets virtually 17 90 key sets. 12xCLEARBLANKMOD are 2 more than required for $38/set.

@ripster: Why are you so pessimistic?
