[GB] Double shot replacements ROUND FOUR! - SHIPPING!

No, it would be sufficient to just ask him about those files. You will need them too!

Wait, I need them too?

This is what I had in mind!

You should be offended.

Didn't you both stole kits from my group buy?

I like the term Liberated. Hash is doing the RGB set and I am doing all the fun caps.

Leaving the serious stuff to me.

That's a fair share!

Yea; I didn't wanna liberate your bigger kits (too much work for me) :yo:

Ooh. If the round3 style falls through, maybe I'll get that.

Any picture of the dark style?

Okay, so the almighty perl script has run and processed my order. I basically want 3 white on green vim keys, 2 awesomeface black on yellow keys and 2 LOD black on red keys (plus the filco key puller). All keys to suit the function row (will be using them on a Leopold).

The email I got has the following:

LOD                       |Look of Disapproval, black on red| 2.00|  2|  2| 4.00
RETRO/AWESOME/BLACK/YELLOW|? 1 unit function key            | 2.00|  2|  2| 4.00
ROUND3/VIM/GREEN          |? 1 unit function key            | 2.00|  3|  3| 6.00
TOOL                      |Filco key puller                 | 6.00|  1|  1| 6.00

Does that look okay? I find the wiki slightly confusing regarding the style options- for example I'm not sure if I should just be ordering 'VIM 3'

Thanks

Thank you. I have a hard time picturing them on a real keyboard. Do you guys have a set of it in real life?

When I run Round 5, you will see pictures of these in the Round 4 pictures thread!

I will see it in my hands!

I gotta wonder: It must be really difficult to run stuff at this magnitude. What is your pay off, 7bit? I read somewhere on gh before that you don't actually earn that much from these.

The payoff (as in all those group buys) is to get the key caps I want.

[sinis]

I wondered: does anyone actually want the DARK/BLACK/GREY?

What I mean is, the contrast is small between those colors. One could directly get engraved PBT caps... The reason for Doubleshots is the good contrast which will never fade. Is it not?

edit:
For me that is why RETRO in BLACK/WHITE or WHITE/BLACK looks so outstanding.

[jinhan108]

DARK/ORANGE looks pretty bad-ass, especially with those modifiers:)

That's for sure. I think posting a picture of it here was a good idea.

Some people wanted it.

The text will be even less visible in reality.

I will post the white on black version today ...

I definitly thought about the black/dark because I thought it would look similar to realforce boards, but the retro was just too cool.

I'm not sure what colors they use. It is always really hard to say from just the pictures.

[TheSoulhunter]

A full set with red/green/blue on black is no more possible? (It was for retro iirc)

You mean other than the RGB modifiers?

No.

I'd be glad if we can get 25 orders of each of the current styles.

Currently, the only style it wll surely make over 25 is the RETRO style with the default color scheme (blue on lightgrey / dark grey).

Thanks for the image, I hope the keys will be as sharp in real life. Are the quatation mark and apostrophe really going to be that steep angle?

[Asp]

Is there going to be an RGB modifier set for the RETRO/STANDARD/BLACK in the same style as the DARK RGB's?

As in with the text in RGB color, not the keys. I'd buy the dark RGB but the keys are dark gray instead of black.

I'm not sure of that. You can probably see it on Round 0/1 key caps.
Here is how they look like on Round 0 key caps:

I'm quite sure there will be not much difference.



Here come more colorful versions:

NOIR/STANDARD
NOIR/RGBY/WHITE
NOIR/SPACE



RETRO/STANDARD
RETRO/RGBY/WHITE
RETRO/GAMER/ORANGE
RETRO/SPACE

[strike]I'm not sure how to call these 2 RGBY kits.[/strike]

This one looks much better:

RETRO/STANDARD
RETRO/GAMER
RETRO/RGBY
RETRO/SPACE

As in with the text in RGB color, not the keys. I'd buy the dark RGB but the keys are dark gray instead of black.

This would be yet another variant!

I will figure out the naming scheme for all these RGBY-variants ...

[Tanooki]

RGBYTEXT  :noidea:

Also, is there any more interest on the Blue on Pure White bianco?

[7bit]

RGBYTEXT  :noidea:

You mean Shift keys labeled 'Green' and Control labeled 'Red' and Alt 'Blue', Super 'Yellow'?

Nevertheless, I will split up RETRO and RETRO/BLACK into RETRO and NOIR.

This is much easier to handle. These 2 have no keys in common, so they can go as 2 different styles.

I will transform all orders automatically into the new naming scheme.

So, if you want that white on black stuff for a Tenkeyless keyboard, you order:

NOIR/TENKLESS
NOIR/SPACE

Finished.

So I just got an email basically canceling my whole order. Is there a reason for that? I had a tenkeyless retro, retro space bar and leopold retro spacebar. Along with some novelty keys.

My preorder number is 47

[Dezeer]

Yeah I got one too, and resubmitted the order.

Same here. Alot of novelty keys gone. Im guessing cause theres the smaller group buy doing its thing.

[birthdaymonkey]

I had placed a preorder with the orderbot for a standard RETRO kit, a standard ROUND3 kit, a red esc, and a RGB modifiers set.

Just got a message saying "unsuccessful kits and styles [had] been removed", and now I have nothing in my preorder. This seems unlikely to me, as i'd preordered what I thought would be among the most popular keys.

What's goin on here? (order #0114)

EDIT: Seems to be fixed. Thanks!

[Arcane]

yeah just got the same mail...whole pre order gone...

[7bit]

Ummm. sorry, there is a backup.

One moment please!

So long star wars keycaps . Damn you Lucas.

I should send you some pricelists and pictures ...

Atleast I got the invoice number #0002

This is the lowest invoice number anyone except me can have (I'm #0001 this time).

I hope you appreciate that and order lots of kits!

The star wars caps are gone? Now I'm ****ing pissed.

Hazelstuff is working hard on designs that Melissa will approve as 'different enough' from the originals. If it all works out I will get them to be a part of your buy as a replacement for the starwars keys. Just hope and pray it works.

[oneproduct]

So if I got an email that cleared my order do I order again or are you rolling to a backup?

just send the design to lucas and tell him "make it better"

he'll completely screw it up and we might pass it off so far from the original SP will do it.

[demik]

7bit, can SP do a stepped caps lock?
