Yeah, I thought it looked kinda odd. That's why.
Other than that, the samples look really good!

narlzac85 · « **Reply #3402 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 01:52:55 »

The LoD key disapproves of itself. Maybe for a future order they can flip it back?

calavera · « **Reply #3403 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 02:02:25 »

I literally, cannot wait for this to ship.

speakeasy · « **Reply #3404 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 04:03:41 »

looks like some people will give the look of disapproval key a look of disapproval. glad I didn't order it, maybe I'll get one round 4 when they get it right.

You think we'll get these before July?

cactux · « **Reply #3405 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 05:09:09 »

Hi,

I arrived kind of late already, since all the cool stuff :,-( are already gone. Any idea when round 4 will start?

keyboardlover · « **Reply #3406 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 06:46:25 »

Round 3 hasn't shipped yet so please cool your heels =)

There are still 50,000+ keys to be sorted and shipped.

cactux · « **Reply #3407 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 09:13:36 »

Maybe I misinterpreted the first post because looks like the following keycaps are not longer available: vim, gnome, linux, pirate flag, etc

montanyes · « **Reply #3408 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 09:37:44 »

LOD keycap ---> /facepalm

paat · « **Reply #3409 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 09:51:20 »

wow imav! looks amazing. thank you (and 7bit) for the great work

narlzac85 · « **Reply #3410 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 11:49:04 »

Cactux. Yes, most of the cool stuff has already sold out. Quantities of whatever is left is in the first post (though they are slim pickings now). The keys already shipped to imav and he is sorting them out and shipping them to individuals. Don't expect Round 4 to start until Round 3 is completed and shipped to everyone. However, I have a feeling that Round 4 is a pretty sure thing since there seems to be a lot of interest and it seems that everything went smoothly other than the long time from start to finish and the backwards LoD keys. On a side note, once everything ships, I'd be willing to bet that some people ordered more than they actually needed (to drive the price down) and so you may be able to score what you want by asking around on the forums.

noodles256 · « **Reply #3411 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 12:23:58 »

round 4 won't happen until this is shipped and everyone received the keys they ordered.

I recommend not talking about it until then,

it who must not be mentioned

guilleguillaume · « **Reply #3412 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 13:12:46 »

Why did they make the ಠ_ಠ the wrong way if we sent the right SVG?

For my taste the red dot from the Japan Flag looks too small but it's a nice Keycap anyways.

Evil_Spork · « **Reply #3413 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 13:21:51 »

ಠ_ಠ at Look of Disapproval keys!

How did they manage to mess that one up? lol
Any chance they will correct their mistake?

keyboardlover · « **Reply #3414 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 13:24:26 »

Your avatar just gave me an acid flashback.

What were we talking about?

wanabe · « **Reply #3415 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 14:18:37 »

it seems like SP manages to screw up every single group buy a little bit

Maybe it's just the picture, but was the VIM key meant to be spherical?

tozz · « **Reply #3416 on:** Sun, 22 May 2011, 14:38:32 »

Those LOD will go down in history as unique collectors caps, save them in mint condition for 2035 and you will get $10-$15 on ebay easily!

Don't think so.

No, the vim caps are supposed to be spherical.

Have a look at the Vim Escape Key specs.
The SA family has a spherical top.

They are definitely spherical (and look REALLY cool).

Sorting is going well. I'm ready to shoot myself already, so count me out for being the hub for round 4.

Thanks for doing this![1]

Keys look really great, except the disapproval guy. Seems they had put the slide the wrong way round ...

The Japanese flag is made up of a text-symbol which appeares not to be as large as the sun in the original Japanese flag. It would have cost a bit more, if properly done ...

[1] I mean the sorting job, not the self-shooting!

So for Round 4 we pay the $5 each for sorting?

Ok. One last pic for those that wanted to see some additional keys. It takes a LONG time to fish these out for a picture...so this is IT for a while.

These look great - especially the Starcraft keys. The final wait for shipment is going to be brutal.

It's definitely too large on the key!

This is what I've sent to SP:

The clover should have come out in size similar to the windows logo.

The WASD with arrows looks also a bit off. The A is too far right and S is a bit too close to the arrow ...

Half-Saint · « **Reply #3438 on:** Mon, 23 May 2011, 03:16:22 »

Yeah, this is disappointing. Maybe we can get them to do it properly in round 4...

Other than that and the LoD key though everything looks really good. I'm especially glad to see the Commodore keys came out right!

I think they are. Wish there were PNGs then we can get a good long hard look.

More importantly, is Signature Plastics going to fix the error with the LoD keys?

noodles256 · « **Reply #3446 on:** Mon, 23 May 2011, 10:51:35 »

what do you mean fix?

like free replacement caps?

or next batch will be correct?

heedpantsnow · « **Reply #3447 on:** Mon, 23 May 2011, 10:58:01 »

I don't remember seeing the Panic key and Any key in the order. What's up with those?

I'm trying to figure out why you'd want keys with switch names on them? Brown, Red, Blue MX etc.

I think the original thought was to have a mixed keyboard so you could try out the different keys and not have to go through the agony of removing the keycap to find out which one is which. :-)

noodles256 · « **Reply #3449 on:** Mon, 23 May 2011, 11:20:24 »

yea, i didn't quite understand the mx-label ordeal.
