You need RETRO/SPACE because there is no space bar in RETRO/STD87 .

Ok so to get this
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 27910[/ATTACH]

do I need

RETRO/STD87/GREEN/GREY
RETRO/SPACE

OR

RETRO/STD87/GREEN
RETRO/SPACE

Sorry to ask so many questions I just want it like the picture but with green letters.

Thanks 7bit

[7bit]

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

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.

 
1: There are F and J without nub, Caps Lock with and without step, Control with and without step.
2: I've corrected this and added BLACK (which is very dark grey for this style).
3: Round3 stuff com,es always with white text.
4: ROUND3/RGB104 would match the style of Round3 keys, CHERRYRGB104, etc. are to match existing Cherry keys.
5: Yes, but it seems it is not in my list ...
 ... now it is.
;-)

[7bit]

SPH are flat profile sphericals right?

 
High profile shericals (SA-family).

[7bit]

Ok this is what I want for my Filco tenkeyless but I want it with green text and I dont care about the RGB
(Attachment Link) 27877[/ATTACH]

RETRO/STD87/GREEN
RETRO/SPACE
EMAIL@BLAH.COM

THX

 No green text available. There can't be every choice!

[simon_C]

High profile shericals (SA-family).

damnit....i was hoping for DSAs

guess i wont be getting my set of clear non-sculpted sphericals any time soon

[Fred]

1.25 shift isn't part of the modifier kit i assume? I'm wondering 'cause i can only see 14 out of the 15 modifier keys on the us layout keyboard here. http://deskthority.net/wiki/File:Round4_standard_kits_001.png

Edit: Also, for the STD 104 key kit... are the extra keys 5 in the set for ISO and other boards? Have to check so I'm not missing any key. =)

[jinhan108]

I sent a pm with:

DARK/STD/ORANGE 1
DARK/SPACELEO 1
AWESOME/YELLOW 1
LODM 1
EMAIL xxx@xxx.com

and a further one with
DARK/SPACE 1

*Edited: Nevermind, I received the confirmation e-mail. However, I do have a query. Will the above cover a full-size 104 key board? (Included both normal and Leopold space bars to switch around)

[whiskerBox]

No green text available. There can't be every choice!

Understandable, so I assume then that selecting RETRO/STD87 will look like the picture then correct?

[giHefca]

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.

FYI, SS keyboard have Leopold spacebar

I've submitted orders twice now.  First time as:  SPH/STD87/WHITE/BLACK 1

Second time (after getting below response and then perusing the Wiki some more):  SPH/STD87/BLACK 1

But each time I got the same e-mail reply of:

Order-ID|Description|Price|Qty|Pcs|Total
Total   |           |     |   |  0| 0.00

What format do I need to use for a Standard 87 set of sphericals, white lettering on black?  Maybe I'm misunderstanding the Wiki tables, but I do believe this combo is available.  Hopefully the problem is just a matter of my not formatting the preorder request info correctly.  Maybe I should have submitted CLEARALL first before ordering the second time?  (Both e-mail confirmations had the same order number, Preorder #0105)

RETRO/SPACELEO/color


 
You need RETRO/SPACE because there is no space bar in RETRO/STD87 .

If I want the default color for spacebar, is it just RETRO/SPACELEO?

[Quarzac]

Wait, so I have a tenkeyless leopold. If I get the modifier set, will it fit on a leopold? I know the stabilizers are different. Thanks!

[demik]

Modifiers should be fine. It's the spacebar that is different.

The 1.25 units shift keys are available in the Language kits.

It is also availale as a separate key:
SHIFT125

There is no space bar in the STD kit, so you need to add:
DARK/SPACE 1

Similar, yes.

I've added the missing colors. It should work now.

Yes.

Wait, so I have a tenkeyless leopold. If I get the modifier set, will it fit on a leopold? I know the stabilizers are different. Thanks!

You remove the stabilizer inserts from your Leopold key caps and fit them into the SP key caps.

If they are a bit lose, just fit some piece of a plastic bag between stabilizer insert and key cap.

leopold tenkeyless (and im guessing full also) don't use stabilizer inserts

btw, thanks for answering my question, sent the pm to add to my order!

DARK/STD/ORANGE is orange on very dark grey.

[pitashen]

Hello 7bit,

Would Full kit include things such as ONEHALFMOD and different space bars?

[pettijohn]

Very excited. Big thanks to 7bit for organizing. Other Colemak folks, what style are you going with? What about a backspace for the caps lock location?

Code: [Select]

[giHefca]

Is it possible to add a BIANCO/FULL/WHITE/BLACK ?

[RColinTaylor]

Is there going to be a post/update/recap of the sets that are being ordered so that we non-creative people with money can help reach the 25 count for each type?

SHIFT125

Ok. So what is the 15th key in the mod set? I see tab, caps lock, 2 shift, 2 control, 2 super, 2 alt, meta, return, the |\ button and backspace... so that's 14 out of 15

So the std set covers iso then (since you didn't mention that)?

[godofdeath]

so there are still no white on black filco styled or something similar in double shots?

[7bit]

Hello 7bit,

Would Full kit include things such as ONEHALFMOD and different space bars?

No, the FULL kits consist of:

CH1800 (13 keys)
CH1800OLD (4 additional keys)
NOPOO (6 additional keys)
CUSTOMKBD (2 additional keys)

these are 25 keys in total.

Because J-shape Return and 1.25 units Shift are in the language kits, they are not included.

Space bars are separate.

[7bit]

Is it possible to add a BIANCO/FULL/WHITE/BLACK ?

No, because it is the BIANCO style and not the NERO style!

Is there going to be a post/update/recap of the sets that are being ordered so that we non-creative people with money can help reach the 25 count for each type?

I pm you the statistics.

It is better not shown to the others because it's very discouraging ...

:-(

The additional keus are a stepped Caps Lock for Cherry keyboards and 1.5 units a \| key to match with the TAB key.

so there are still no white on black filco styled or something similar in double shots?

But yes:

RETRO comes in a white on black version

RETRO/STD/BLACK

and the sphericals:

SPH/STD/BLACK

[godofdeath]

what does it mean by camel case?
retro i can understand as the top left like filco style, but also what does STD stand for? besides sexually transmitted diseases

[7bit]

Came Case Is When All First Letters Of A Word Are Upper Case And The Rest Is Lower Case.

This Style Is Mostly Prefered By Pascal And Java-Programmers.

ALL-CAPS IS PREFERED BY COBOL PROGRAMMERS.

&& all lower_case() is prefered by C-programmers.


STD is the standard kit (covers 104 key Filco and Cherry keyboards, except the space bar which comes separately).

o that means for keys like ENTER is done in the form of Enter?

and what do the keys look like? are they that roundish shape

http://deskthority.net/wiki/File:Round4_color_sample_001.jpg

like the 8 in the pic?

Enter, Caps Lock, Escape.

The key caps shown in the picture are color samples for the sphericals. They are from Cherry and no longer in production. The SP spherical key caps look slightly different.

[tradet]

Is it possible to get the tux mod keys with yellow background?

Maybe something like this:

Code: [Select]

BIANCO/TUXMOD125/BLACK/YELLOW 1

Preferrably black on yellow. I'd appreciate it a lot!

[pitashen]

Just curious, how long does group buy like this usually take?

[godofdeath]

so is there a pic of the shape of the keycaps?
I am not into that whole roundish shape, I like the squarish one that comes with the filcos instead

[pitashen]

I believe you have to specify "SPH" (spherical) in the order to get the roundish shape you are talking about. Otherwise, u'll probably just get those "squarish" shapes.

[hawkwind]

Is BIANCO/BLANKSTD87/CLEAR $45 or another price? What do they look like?

[Wihl]

Just curious, how long does group buy like this usually take?

~6 months+

[tradet]

If you take all 25: yes.

Heh thanks but that's a bit too much for me ^^

[7bit]

Just curious, how long does group buy like this usually take?

Round 1: 1 month
Round 2: forever
Round 3: 1/2 year (except for corrections)
Round 4: (1+oo+6)/3

A last question about STEELSERIES kit : is the spacebar always dark ? (eg. in DARK/STEELSERIES/ORANGE)
This kit should need a 1.25 unit **** (included in JRET kit)

[7bit]

A last question about STEELSERIES kit : is the spacebar always dark ? (eg. in DARK/STEELSERIES/ORANGE)
This kit should need a 1.25 unit **** (included in JRET kit)

DARK/STEELSERIES/ORANGE comes in orange, except that there is no STEELSERIES space bar. What are the measures of that psace bar (width and distance of the key mounts)?

[giHefca]

118mm width
3 key mounts : 19/59/99mm like Leopold http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=21762&d=1294786512

The 1.25u shift is only on azerty layout

Then it is SPACELEO:

[grasshopper]

Interesting. So just to clarify, will the Steelseries kit include a replacement "big ass" enter key?

I've been considering buying a Steelseries board but the difficulty in replacing the non-standard key caps has put me off so far.

[giHefca]

from wiki :

STEELSERIES    3   7   Steelseries kit (LRET, 1u BS, SPACELEO)

1 big ass, 1 unit backspace and 1 space Leopold, that's why my question about spacebar

[Gin]

Can anyone post a picture of a blank standard on white body tenkeyless Filco?

I saw lister's http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=19897&d=1309416104. Just really wanna see how it would look without the texts.

Edit: 7bit, how would I order a similar set up like lister's in the link, but with blank keys?



Also, could we get a notice when this group buy is close to finalizing using those little alert style stuffs on the top of the page?
