just out of curiosity, is the trollface going to happen? i only see one vote for it on the third post list...

Minskleip · « **Reply #501 on:** Sun, 23 January 2011, 18:19:23 »

The latest statistics has 2 votes for the black and 1 for the red troll.

is that enough for it to still happen? i dont know about the novelty keys so much, seems that if there is only 1 vote for them then they will happen, but i am unsure

Minskleip · « **Reply #503 on:** Sun, 23 January 2011, 19:33:43 »

Oh I don't know. It could be different when there's only one key, but the other kits which only got one vote was dropped. Order more to sell if you want to make it happen

wiregen · « **Reply #504 on:** Mon, 24 January 2011, 03:21:05 »

Sent my pre-order for the standard set and some more! Cant wait!

sixty · « **Reply #505 on:** Mon, 24 January 2011, 07:44:19 »

I'll have to withdraw my order for the default set, hope it does not hurt too bad if those go -1. Funny story:

After my original order from WhiteRice back then got lost in the mail, it suddenly turns up again as a return shipment at his house 3 months later. At the same time I finish a deal on OTD and score one of the original Korean sets. So I actually have two Dolch Replicas incoming now... no need for a third. Maybe I will invest into some lower supported sets instead. We shall see.

Sorry, I had forgotten to include it. Also the Escape key is still missing. Too many versions and no decision which should be the one to get into production.

The Trollface will come in white on red and in white on black:

I'd also like to know whether the Reddit and Awesome keys are happening as well. That's my primary interest.

Note: 7bit said the votes are going for the standard Signature Cylindricals, not these photoshopped Spherical Novelty key shapes. I'm gonna post an update to how to turn these into IBM compatible keys here soon.

I'm sure both keys will make it.

Reddit got 17 votes and Awesome in yellow 19 and in red 8.

Just curious if this is about on par with what the trollface key will look like? Ripster, I really hope you don't mind that I took your pic and modified it...

Same problem as with the Awesome face:

yea i hate to say it, but it needs to look better than it does, more like in ripster's modded pic and less like it does because it looks very messy right now. It would be very disappointing to have it look like that when you pay $4 for one

I think we should wait a week and then start collecting the money. There will be hopefully some late-comers to jump onto the train with.

So, zaerst, I'd say that you can still place an order.
(*psst*, order a white on blue [light blue] set too)

Guys, I just returned from a trip to the future. My flux capacitor worked out okay and I am happy to announce that Signature Plastics did a good job on the extra planned sets. The 1.5 modifiers came out great and they even got the alternative spacebar size right!

I have to go dumpster diving now. Mr. Fusion is out of energy.

Yeah saw that, quite awesome. As far as I know they are sorting the 300+ sets for the CMA release. Dunno how whiterice pulled that off by himself. Then again that was "only" 50ish sets.

Looks more like a Chinese restaurant.

There are still open questions:

I got 2 sets from WhiteRice packt in one of these small packages. Even though the Standard kit contains more keys than in the last round, 2 of them will fit into one package.

Could please some of the US residents tell me, if there is a larger package which will ship for the same price, or how much a larger package will be?

Also, I need someone who collects the money.

Last, but not least: I need a decision about the design of the ESCAPE-button!

Seems like a good idea to me.

I'd guess that 7bit needs to know what you want when it comes to telling you how much you'll need to pay. How to vote.

Thanks. Does that mean:

UK 1
COLEMAK 1

?

I am not sure if I need to do the STANDARD one as there are no other keys listed in the colemak one and only the 'special characters' listed on the UK one and would be missing the other keys.
Thanks for any help.

edit: and also if RED 1
does that = Red Gaming Kit

Ok thanks, sorry my brain is dead today (bad sleep

It seems Signature Platics can only sort keys into seperate bags, as seen on the "Korean Sorting Party". Basically means they cant sort sets, only single keys.

Twitchy · « **Reply #546 on:** Fri, 28 January 2011, 07:21:24 »

I thought that the keys came that way as standard. Collation (if it is offered as an extra), would surely mean sorting the keys into sets for us?

You'll need to add a standard set to that too. UK and Colemak sets just give you the keys you'd need to adapt a standard set. No time to look at the other sets, maybe someone else can answer your gaming key question.

Yes that's what I thought, but then I got confused at this (from the main page):
"Prices are maximum prices, excluding shipping.
These are only valid, if at least as many sets
are produced as stated in the list.
You don't need to order a Standard kit along
your local/alternate-layout kit. Each kit will sell separately."

That is interesting. But with a UK kit being estimated at only $8, it surely cannot be true. Maybe that's not quite what 7bit meant? I don't know.
