[Drewlander]

I've got a question.  I want to get some doubleshots for my Rosewill RK-9000.  I am leaning towards white on black spherical keycaps with a white on red spherical escape key.  The wiki says that there isn't a spherical spacebar that will fit.  What's the difference between the spherical spacebar and a regular spacebar?  The other keys are concave, so I understand how they are spherical, but I don't get it for the spacebar, seeing as how it is convex.

Also, does the full kit come with the Windows key, or is it a blank super key? I'm trying to figure out exactly what I need to order.

[giHefca]

Does full set fit to a 7G ? (big ass return, Leopold spacebar and 1unit backspace...)

[braben]

What will happen with the round 3 missing international keys (ES in my case)? Will they be sent automatically or do I have to say "hi" or something?

[tenfour]

Can we see pictures of the designs for the custom keys like the "awesome face"?

[ishtob]

He's back!! just got my email

[Wihl]

He's back!! just got my email

Same, much love \o/

[F u r u y á]

Same, much love \o/

same!

Portal keys are in

[7bit]

Another Question:
What Keys are exactly included in the DE-Kit? Is a Full PUN-Kit included? I would like to have a German Punktuation-Set...

 
It will include all those keys which are different from the US-layout. For big-ass-centered styles, there will be definitly no @ on the Q, no € on the E and no µ on the M .

7bit, can you include the \KL key in group buy 4?

Thanks in advance!

 
Added!

Order-ID is:
KEYBOARDLOVER

You need to specify the style and (if aplicable) the color.

example:
BIANCO/KEYBOARDLOVER/RED

Seems like retro/blankjret and retro/space doesn't like the other colors than black and white that are listed on the wiki. : /

This is what I've got in my list:
 
RETRO |BLANKFULL,BLANKSTD,BLANKSTD87,BLANKFUN,BLANKNUM,BLANKALP,BLANKMOD,BLANKJRET,BLANKLRET,BLANKSHIFT125,BLANKSHIFT175,BLANKSHIFT200,BLANKPOS,BLANKPOSR1,BLANKPOSR2,BLANKPOSR3,BLANKPOSR4|WHITE,GREY,BLACK,ORANGE,RED,BLUE,GREEN,YELLOW

Could anyone tell me what keys the row 4 - 1.25 unit keycaps would fit vs what keys the row 4 - 1 unit keycaps.  If it makes any difference it will be for a filco mj2 tkl.  Thanks much.

 
1.25 units is the size of the modifier keys of modern keyboards like your Filco.

You need some quantity #'s on your order.

RETRO/WASD/WHITE/RED 1
IMPERIALBLACKFUN 2
IMPERIALWHITEFUN 99
REBELBLUEFUN 9001
REBELWHITEFUN 70

other than that it's all good.

 
If you want only one you can omit the quantity (and save 2 bytes for your message):

RETRO/WASD/WHITE/RED
IMPERIALBLACKFUN 2
IMPERIALWHITEFUN 99
REBELBLUEFUN 9001
REBELWHITEFUN 70

Thanks much.
 


Thanks, still have to decide what I want.  As far as I know there is no option for dark grey keycaps with black text, correct?
One more question, if I were to put just a few of these keycaps onto a filco board, would there be any noticable difference between these keys and the ones already on the filco.  For example, if I got a WASD (lets say retro) set from the group buy, would I notice any difference in height or drastic difference in feel?

Thanks.

 
There is!

It is the DARK style:
Black on very dark grey.

7-bit,

Will we be receiving the missing keys from Round3 within this order?

If I want to acheive this setup with a UK Filco Majestouch, what excatly should I order (or is it even possible in this round?)

Thanks
(Attachment Link) 26438[/ATTACH]

 
You would need RETRO style keys BLACK/WHITE and BLACK/GREY modifiers which are not in the list ...

exact same question as above LOL I would like to mod a white filco TKL to the same key colour scheme as above so it looks like a Realforce/Model M with a combo of white and grey keys - all labelled. Not too fussy about font as long as it is uniform.
I have trawled this thread and the wiki but there doesn't seem to be a set of black on grey?
Cheers guys

Unsure of what white, as various pictures of white filcos I have seen show it as both bright white and beige, I guess I will have to get one in my hands first

humble apologies if the answer to this is obvious and already up in bold somehwere

 
OK, I will add BLACK/GREY to the RETRO kit.

[7bit]

Its funny, but this is exactly what I've been looking to do as well.  I ordered a White MJ2 with Blues from another group buy a few days ago, and have been poking through this forum ever since to figure it out.  I don't have the keyboard yet, so I'm waiting before I take the plunge and submit an order to the perl-bot.

My best guess given the complex ordering system is that you'd need keys from both the BIANCO and RETRO styles. The main problem in my scheme is that the fonts and styles of the printing may not be consistent between the BIANCO and RETRO styles.  BIANCO is supposed to be "Camel-Case, Off-Center" and RETRO "Came-Case, off-center (left or top-left)."  I can barely figure out all the options of the ordering system, so I'm really not sure how these keys would look on the same keyboard.

(I think, based on screen pictures, which isn't the best method, that the WA color in BIANCO will be the best white key for this purpose.  The Gray color in RETRO is too dark, I think, and so using the RETRO/WHITE color as gray is what I was thinking.  I'd be interested to know what people think.)
White Keys:
BIANCO/FUN1/BLACK/WHITE 1
BIANCO/FUN9/BLACK/WHITE 1
BIANCO/PUN/BLACK/WHITE 1
BIANCO/ALP/BLACK/WHITE 1
BIANCO/SPACE/WHITE 1

For the purpose of the gray keys, I think the RETRO/WHITE (being actually a gray shade GSL) would work.  The RETRO/GRAY shade is GQM, which seems to be a very dark gray in my opinion):
Gray Keys
RETRO/FUNT/BLACK/WHITE 1
RETRO/FUN5/BLACK/WHITE 1
RETRO/FUN13/BLACK/WHITE 1
RETRO/CUR/BLACK/WHITE 1
RETRO/MOD/BLACK/WHITE 1
RETRO/APPLE/BLACK/WHITE 1  (Yeah, I want the retro Model M look with Apple Keys)

Don't go ordering with this template, as I'm not sure if I have the order 100% correct.  I'm also not sure if the RETRO and BIANCO styles are a good fit for the same keyboard.  Also I'm not sure if the colors are exactly right for a white MJ2...  Anyway, I'm not sure about anything, so you probably should ignore this post altogether.


Love to see a kit or style that would make it easier to make a Model M clone.

Jake

 
OK, I understood!

We need a RETRO kit in the conventional color-scheme, right?

RETRO/STD/BEIGEGREY
RETRO/STD87/BEIGEGREY

Not a bad idea.  I would like to know which of the colors most closely matches the Filco white case.  A few people have asked and 7bit has mentioned that he doesn't have one to check.  Someone would have to get a set of swatches-- preferably someone with a large collection of keyboards that could do a lot of matching of various models and manufacturers.  (That rules me out, as I haven't even got my first MJ2 yet).

Based on images alone, the Model M's gray was really more of a "gray brown" color and the white was more of a light tan color.  From images lone, it seems like Color WAR and Color TN are the closest, but I probably don't have the best eye for color and images aren't the best to match.   Matching my Modem M keycaps to a screen is also kind of futile.  Even still, these colors might not look the best on a Filco white board.  It might be some other pair of colors that accomplishes the "Model M look" yet matches the white Filco case aesthetically.

 
Contrary to Cherry keys, SP has got perfectly matching colors for IBM:

I found GEQ to match the gray and GTF to match the white keys.

Well, the wiki says:

- Send a message to: 7bit_r4
- Please don't ask 7bit_r4 any questions!
- 7bit_r4 is more or less a Perl script, no human person, which will never answer any questions!
- All your messages will be evaluated automatically!

I assert that a perl script doesn't go on vacation.

 
What makes you think that perl scripts don't need to get on vacation from time to time?

I was wondering if someone would help me out understand how to place an order?

I basically want a 37 key set A-Z, punctuation to the right of A-Z and arrows. White keys with black letters.

So i have this:
BIANCO/ALP/BLACK

But i dont know which kit i need to get. Theres a ALP one that says A-Z but its only 28 keys.
Thanks

 
ALP: A to Z plus F and J with nub.
PUN: all those other keys like 1-0, -=[];',./ etc.

Just to clarify, under bianco it says:



Is that for the whole set, or only certain keys?

I ask because this is on the way, and I'd love to have some brown keys:

Show Image

 
It is always for the whole set, so all keys will have brown text on white keys.

Welcome to Geekhack!

[Ekaros]

I don't know what I want, they haven't yet made any subtenkeyless I want...

Anything nice there?

[hashbaz]

7bit triumphantly returns!

[7bit]

Still open for orders?

 
Yes!

Still open for new kits, styles, colors etc.?

 
Yes!

Or turn of the Century.

Somebody post when it's getting close to being closed so I can attempt to figure it out.  Sure gets a lot of posts and page views though.

 
Just send 7bit_r4 a message with your e-mail address to get a notification when this group buy happens for real. Use an address which will be valid for at least  decade or 2!

ps: Welcome to Geekhack.

Is it possible to get Grey/DarkGrey in ALPS? eg the standard round 3 double shots, but for ALPS

 
Yes!

But you are the first one to ask.

ALPS/STD/DOLCH
ALPS/STD87/DOLCH

that ^

 
I know it's complicated and a bit messy, but there is no reason for hate!

so why dont you try to order

like

RETRO/FULL 1
RETRO/NO 1
RETRO/SPACE 1
RETRO/LEFT 1

 
fixed that for you.

This didn't get any easier :|

Is there no code for blank numpad long keys? I would think BLANKNOP but I don't see it there...

Edit: is this correct?

ROUND3/STD 1
ROUND3/BLANKMOD/BLACK 1
ROUND3/BLANKNOP/BLACK 1

This will get you very dark grey keys matching the modifiers of the Round 3 keys.

Since there is no entry in the wiki that tells the availability for BLANKNOP, ...

 
BLANKNOP is now available.

[WorldExclusive]

Yes!


 
Yes!

Are there kits for these colors?

Red on black

Hello!

Well, I am still thinking about what to order in this round but first, I would like a clarification about the ongoing "issue" we had with [ES] Spanish layout:

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?13664-Double-shot-replacements-ROUND-THREE-Vote-for-Kits-amp-Quantities!&p=373464&posted=1#post373464

4 keycaps were missing and 2 were wrongly printed. And not to mention the reversed LOD.

Would be nice to have an answer about how this will be solved.

Thanks!

 
There will be replacements along with Round4.

Hello

Excuse my newbism (and my english ) but I have some questions :
For a Steelseries 7G, I need to choose SPACE or SPACELEO ?
Concerning colors, a BIANCO in WHITE/RED is a red keycap with white text ?
And, last question, is it possible to have white WA keys with RETRO style instead GSL white ?

Thanks

 
I don't know about the Steelseries keyboards. The best way is to measure the distances of the space bar yourself or ask Ripster, the number one keyboard expert.

BIANCO/*/WHITE/RED will come be white text on red key caps.

Why on earth everybody wants something else?

This is still a little confusing for me. how do I order clear keycaps for wasd cluster? I cant figure out which ones are clear in the wiki

 
BIANCO/*/CLEAR

replace * by one of BLANKFULL,BLANKSTD,BLANKSTD87,BLANKFUN,BLANKNUM,BLANKNOP,BLANKALP,BLANKMOD,BLANKJRET,BLANKLRET,BLANKSHIFT125,BLANKSHIFT175,BLANKSHIFT200,BLANKPOS,BLANKPOSR1,BLANKPOSR2,BLANKPOSR3,BLANKPOSR4 for each line.

Also available:
SPH/*/CLEAR
ALPS/*/CLEAR

Someone remind me when orders actually start start.

 
Please send a message to 7bit_r4 with the following content:

Would retro be the font most like my current majestouch tenkeyless?

 
Yes.

Is this possible??? Black keys with red font and a gamer set that is Red keys with black font. I have 1.25 Terran for the win keys but want a ESC terran.

ROUND3/STD/RED/BLACK
ROUND3/GAMER/BLACK/RED
SCESCTERRAN

Also is it possible to recreate the windowed keys on the ducky Caps and F9, F10, F11 keys?

 RED/BLACK is already part of the RETRO kit.

There will be no Cherrry-style windows because SP can't make them.

7bit the thread is spinning out of control!  Are you back yet?

 
Yes!

I'll wait until they make a system that's simple to understand.
Keyboard Calculus is what this is.

Something as simple as black keys with red lettering shouldn't be something so confusing to order.

 
No, it is Algebraic Group Buy Theory.

Is:
ROUND3/LRET/BLACK/WHITE
ROUND3/SHIFT175/BLACK/WHITE
ROUND3/VERTBSLASH/BLACK/WHITE
BIANCO/STD/BLACK/WHITE

a valid order?
Trying to get some black on white for m steelseries

 
Just order
BIANCO/LRET
BIANCO/SHIFT175
BIANCO/VERTBSLASH
BIANCO/STD

BLACK/WHITE can be omitted becuase it is the default color for this style. The ROUND3 style comes only in the same DOLCH-scheme colors as in Round 3.

No, this would completely cover your keyboard.

I've got a question.  I want to get some doubleshots for my Rosewill RK-9000.  I am leaning towards white on black spherical keycaps with a white on red spherical escape key.  The wiki says that there isn't a spherical spacebar that will fit.  What's the difference between the spherical spacebar and a regular spacebar?  The other keys are concave, so I understand how they are spherical, but I don't get it for the spacebar, seeing as how it is convex.

Also, does the full kit come with the Windows key, or is it a blank super key? I'm trying to figure out exactly what I need to order.

 The main problem is the height. If you can live with a lower profile space bar, there should be no trouble.

Does full set fit to a 7G ? (big ass return, Leopold spacebar and 1unit backspace...)

 
In theory, yes.

The content of the FULL kit is not yet exactly specified. I will have to make a list wghich keyboards really should be covered by this kit.

What will happen with the round 3 missing international keys (ES in my case)? Will they be sent automatically or do I have to say "hi" or something?

 
The wrongly done or missing keys from production will be sent automatically, missing keys from the collation process (ie iMav messed up your order ;-) will not be sent automatically.

So, just give me a note what is missing.

No. I find it confusing too!

It would be less confusing if we restrict the options to Round3 supplements plus the Sphericals.

[Bongoojingie]

Does RGB104 include Red Escape?

[sinis]

good to see you back 7bit. You had a nice time hopefully.

I could use your help:
A) Is the grey in the standard color scheme of R4 the same grey as cherry doubleshots?
On the "color sample" picture in the Wiki, the color GAW looks like it fits cherry doubleshots. But this is not the grey for RETRO since this grey is GSC or WA. Am I right?

B) I asked this before: still the prices are heavily dependent of order numbers. Are there any order numbers available to see, which kits will be available for approximately the given price?
I am asking this for black MOD kits with any font color in the first place.

[Vornath]

I am new to geekhack and have a few questions about ordering from this group buy.

I wish to obtain the following in ROUND3 style for my Leopold:

Standard 104 keys
Leopold spacebar
Arrow symbols (vs text) on arrow keys in standard white on dark grey
RGB modifiers
Red escape key
Orange WASD keys
Orange arrow keys

I placed the following order and it was accepted:

ROUND3/STD
ROUND3/SPACELEO/GREY
ROUND3/ARR/ORANGE
ROUND3/WASD/ORANGE
CHERRYRGB104
CHERRYREDESC

Questions:

1. The Round4 wiki lists the STD kit as 109 keys (without spacebar). What are the extra keys beyond 103?

2. The FAQ at the end of the ROUND4 wiki states that the default for ROUND3 arrow keys is TEXT and to order the ROUND3/ARR kit to obtain arrow symbols. The only colors listed for ROUND3/ARR sets are ORANGE>NONE, WHITE/RED>RED and RED. How would I specify a set of arrow symbol keys with the standard white on dark grey colors?

3. What color legends are on the ROUND3 orange WASD and ARR keys?

4. Was it correct to order CHERRYRGB104 and CHERRYREDESC or should I have specified ROUND3/RGB104? What colors would the legends/keys be on these sets?

5. Is there a Windows set available with the ROUND3 style? ROUND3/WINDOWS?

Thank you for your time and patience. I appreciate this opportunity to obtain doubleshot keys.
