Ah, are there a boatload of extra red escapes? Thought I'd just be aiming for one RGBY set and one red escape but now I'm wondering if it's possible to get more than one red escape.

No way because everyone can just pm at 9 without reading the thread. Is that what you expect everyone to do? Just have a pm ready to hit send at 9?

The 1.25x keys feels much smoother than the Shift keys.
Did you asked for a different surface from SP?

I noticed that, as well. I really like the shift keys, though. If I could get all my sp keys to feel like that, I wouldn't need PBT anymore.

I didn't.  It's probably just how their molds are.

Anyone having problems with the RGBY keys fitting properly on Filco keyboards?  thegunner100 posted about his left shift and ctrl here, and I've had one other person say that a left shift was sticking on a Filco.

Surprisingly enough, this a tenkeyless Filco case alignment problem, not an SP problem. Shave the left side of the keys or pull on the case a bit.

How do we know for sure it's the case?  Couldn't it be variation in SP's shifts?

from the prior RGB group buy, my left shift rubs on my black FILCO board with any SP key there. The same key doesn't rub on my white FILCO board. so at least for me it is the case which I did shave slightly

there are going to be tolerances on both the SP key and the filco case. filco only guarantees that the tolerances of its keys and cases won't line up to cause any keys to stick...

And yet even their own keys sometimes stick, especially on boards with coated cases like the Filco Camo.

Will I have problems with this on my 105 key Filco MJ1 or is it a TKL problem?

EDIT: Holy crap, my keys got here already! Need to wait for my key puller to get here from qtan first though. Which keys are stabilised and are they easy to replace? I've never done it before.

The shift keys are stabilized.  Swapping them takes a little practice.  YouTube has plenty of tutorial videos though.  If you don't want to wait for a puller, you can use a couple of paperclips bent into hooks.  See ripster's key wiki for details.
