I just acquired a Cherry MX1800 which is kinda nice. Would any of the remaining kits fit this keyboard?

Most of them would. For the space bar: just look at yours.

However, there are no complete kits available anymore, which cover the whole keyboard.

But Round 4 will come soon ...

Does it mean I got the last standard kit? Yes! BTW, what is SPACEOLDXXXX? Does it have different length than SPACEGREY? Thanks.

SPACEOLD are for older Cherry G80-3000 keyboards and alike without those useful but stupidly labeled windows keys.

Awesome Keys...

Edges are a bit less crisp than on the novelty spherical keys due to the texturing.

Unless we gave them the wrong SVG they really should redo these for free.

Man, they are nice. Too bad I was so new when the ordering started and I didn't know I need these...

calavera · « **Reply #4009 on:** Thu, 16 June 2011, 20:48:50 »

Awesome key not as awesome as I had hoped. For double shots those blacks sure bleed around the edges. Cool key caps though, can't wait to get mine!!

narlzac85 · « **Reply #4010 on:** Fri, 17 June 2011, 01:07:25 »

If its the texturing, would the edges improve as the key wears down?

7bit · « **Reply #4011 on:** Fri, 17 June 2011, 01:58:27 »

Quote from: ripster;362211

Yes, as I said it's the texturing. Notice the crisp lines on the Sphericals.

I suggested we do these in Sphericals for this reason to 7bit but he said I got outvoted by the other purchasers.

Show Image

Show Image

Sphericals don't match with the other keys in height and style.

When I compare the Awesome face with the Look of Disapproval, I wonder why the circle of Awesome is uniformly deformed. I mean, all those keys have the same of deformation of the circle. The Look of Disapproval's circles appear round as they should!

7bit · « **Reply #4012 on:** Fri, 17 June 2011, 02:20:43 »

Quote from: ripster;362233

Like I said, much of that is due to the pebbling.

Anyway, in real life they are seriously Awesome.

Like Hadron Collider Awesome - I CAN SEE THE HIGGS BOSON!!
Show Image

So what's happening with the Look of Disapproval keys?

Are you going to get them to redo them or not?

No it is not!

I believe that they used the SVG for the white on red key instead and added a 'circle' by themselves to it:

See what happened?

Ya I agreee, an update would be MUCH appreciated by me. I got my "prepared" email 12 days ago and my "shipped" email 8 days ago and I am only 3 states away from Imav. I know there was a misunderstanding between Imav and 7bit but for all I know my package could have been accepted by someone in the office I am at or was declined and could be sitting at the post office but I wouldnt know because of no tracking info. Is tracking even possible with the type of shipping we are using? And ofcourse we have ripster posting the keys in every thread on the forums.

Why don't you wait until we have all received our keycaps to post Round 4 Ideas.

You could open a Round 4 Brainstorming ideas and would be better.

Nah, things take to long if you do them linearly. If round 4 planning is not dependent on the completion of round three shipping, then get working! :whip: The statistics people have a name for it, critical chain I think?

A completely random thought here, but why are space bars always blank? There's all this real estate just going to waste down there. It should say "Space" or "Press here for the final frontier." or something.

I'm not that fond of the color mix but the font placement and style is more modern.

I've heard that they had to do two seperate productions due to lack of grey material and that caused a slight difference in some of the greys in the mods.

ps: They were targeting for dark blue legends(Wyse keyboard replica) in the beginning while it ended up being light blue.

I think this color scheme with the same letter placement and and modifier size except the legends in red would be pretty nifty. Hopefully we can add something like this.
