does anyone know if we are still waiting on any SP shipments, or have all new and corrected keys arrived at the sorting facility?

As far as I know, there will be no corrections. If someone is not satisfied, we will order a new version along with the Round 4 key caps.

Currently, these keys did not come out as expected:
- UNIONJACK is in reverse video (my fault)
- AWITHDOT (Look of disapproval) came out mirrored, but is otherwise OK.
- WASDWITHARROWS D is slightly off to the right.
- COMMAND too big on the key, but otherwise OK.

Will there be a thread for everyone to pimp pictures of their keycaps?

Post them here!

The one who posts his/her Round 3 key caps pictures first, wins another $5 in key caps of Round 4!

How do I know if mine shipped? Will I get another email?

So far my last email was 6 days ago...

"Dear Exoverture,

your order will be prepared for shipping: ... "

Am I expecting another one for when it does ship?

Hello everyone, great forum. I'm new to this forum, actually, just registered like a hour ago.

I was wondering if the vim key, linux key, and gnome key would fit a HHKB 2 or the Lite edition of such.

I don't understand the Order method, sorry, I'm quite spoiled with my cart method. Check-out and all that.

Thanks.

DaemonRaccoon · « **Reply #3856 on:** Sat, 11 June 2011, 14:47:06 »

WHHYYYY? My keys haven't arrived yet. :/

Welcome to Geekhack! Sorry but the keys are for Cherry switches and they're all gone.

gnusosa · « **Reply #3858 on:** Sat, 11 June 2011, 15:07:21 »

Umm do you know where I might find some of those for the HHKB series?

It's a bummer they're all gone

Thanks.

Try http://elitekeyboards.com/

The Clack Factory keys are made by one of the members here. They won't fit the lite (at least I don't think they will).

Looks like round 4 will start soon, but that might be for cherry mx switches only as well - why not buy a cherry keyboard as well?

BababooeyHTJ · « **Reply #3868 on:** Sat, 11 June 2011, 17:35:06 »

Nope thats the actual caps lock, the bottom one is from my cherry board. I have a cherry double shot stepped caps anyways. I just thought that it was pretty funny, that and the "back space" key.

Maybe I'm way off, but isn't the recessed part of a "Caps Lock" step key supposed to be on the right side? Is this a caps lock for another layout?

Can you please take pictures of all key which are the wrong way round?

I will ask SP if thwey can do the proper versions as quick as possible to make sure we can ship them along with the other keys.

The key cap is correct, just the text is upside down!

BababooeyHTJ · « **Reply #3878 on:** Sat, 11 June 2011, 18:51:39 »

They look good to me. I also prefer the rougher texture to the satin texture of my filco keys.

WOW ! Can't wait to receive mine.

I noticed the alignment of the \| is incorrect. They are left aligned, while alignment should match with the other keys, i.e. a bit more towards the center (but not centered).

Edit:
And is there any particular reason why all modifier keys have a condensed font while Caps Lock and Back Space have not?

This is what I wanted:

This is what we will get:

I think, the font thickness is right (thicker than in my graphic).

The color difference is my fault (did chose the wrong color in my graphic, because I was too lazy).

|\ should have been a bit more to the center. In fact, it should have been as far a way from the left edge as it would in a 1 unit key if it where centered.

Too complicated? Well ...

Soarer · « **Reply #3890 on:** Sun, 12 June 2011, 08:59:10 »

Is it just the photo, or is the font slightly wider on ALT/SUPER/META compared to CONTROL/SHIFT/RETURN as well??

One of the reasons I spent a fair bit on add-ons is because I wanted stuff to match - is it really too much to expect?!

And as for the upside down caps lock ... sheesh!

Round 4 needs to have a BACKDATASSUP key. If iMav's kids are helping to sort, he can tell them it's a Back Datas, sup key.

I suggest we don't start Round 4 until we nitpick Round 3 to death.

And everyone has received their keys.

Yeah, they actually are a bit thicker than the rest of the keys. Its not really that noticeable though, imo.

I can't wait for my Keycaps.

They look awesome and with the fantastic pics from Ripster (As always) they look even better.

The Clear ones looks different from what I thought but I like them!

noodles256 · « **Reply #3896 on:** Sun, 12 June 2011, 12:07:01 »

those clear caps are a bit different. More like cloudy with a 30% chance clear skies.

calavera · « **Reply #3897 on:** Sun, 12 June 2011, 12:18:40 »

I thought the switch would be more easily visible too. Clear key cps should be called smokey key caps.

Well, I assume it's even more noticable in real life than in the photo.

For the price we're paying, there really are a very disappointing number of errors :-(
