Well, you gotta pay in USD. Just change the currency, Paypal will do the conversion.

^ Yeah that. Send me a PM if you can't get that to work and we'll figure out something.

@ Snooter: Unfortunately not yet. Sixty disappeared last month on the 29th and hasn't been on deskthority since... so he obviously hasn't gotten my PMs. If anyone knows how to get in contact with Uranium directly I'd hold off on sending the order in for a bit if we can get his permission. Speaking of sending the order in, I'm about $7,000 away from having the money to send to SP, with about 60 invoices unpaid, so step to it folks!

Hey Dave,

I keep getting an error when trying to pay my invoice. Keeps saying "This recipient does not accept payments denominated in MYR. Please contact the seller and ask him to update his payment receiving preferences to accept this currency."

Edit: The stupid Paypal is having problems processing my credit transaction anyway :(


Sent him dollars. Worked well for me.

For the Poker just the base set. For the Pure it's tricky because the right shift is not standard. Simply comparing pictures would have brought you this conclusion.
Also as I assume you didn't order so far, it's too late anyway as this GB is closed. Which is btw stated in the thread title.
You have to wait for left overs.


And yeah, pay that poor man up!
Also DanGWanG's threat isn't that scary, you still can type without legs.
I would aim for your fingers, so pay up! :D

I just realized, since I participate in both Biohazard and this GB, I also need to threat those...
Too troublesome, I'll just wait :D

I have an opportunity to replace someone who can't pay so is it a tsangan or iso kit that I would need for a smaller shift?

I don't know the size of the Pure's shift. The regular right shift is 2.75. Ask Tsangan about his kit for compability. I think the ISO shift is too short, but I am not sure.

pretty sure you need an ISO kit, for the 1.25 shift.

The right shift on the Pure is 1.75 units. If you want to put this set on a pure, you need the "1800" shift included with the Tsangan kit. You will also need a 1-unit key of that same profile, for the "~" tilde key to the right of the right shift on the Pure. The star and diamond keys in the Tsangan kit work quite nicely. See my CCnC set on my Pure as an example.

As far as I know PBT doesn't work well for doubleshots, or at all possibly. That's probably why it isn't used. If anyone has ever seen PBT doubleshots I'd like to see them.

For some reason I thought Fentek made the keycaps for the BL82.

Quote from: MagicMeatball;616214
TG3 Electronics BL82 Keyboard uses double-shot PBT for their backlit keyboards. So yes, it's possible. Finding a company to produce them, on the other hand, is nearly impossible.

iirc, those keycaps are abs/Pbt hybrids. As they are two piece keycaps.

The BL82 keycaps aren't removable. You would need to apply heat or some other method to break them. They are still pressed together. The ****ty way SP does it makes it look impossible to separate their double shots, but higher quality ones like WYSE could probably be separated.

He still broke them apart. They aren't removable, as you implied. The word 'removable' in itself, implies the object was designed to be removed. These weren't.



As you can see, they are still pressed in, most likely with heat.

*EDIT*
I tried actually pulling them apart with my bare hands. No luck with that. You definitely need to break them apart.

I don't know if it's too time consuming/another reason against it but I'd really appreciate a counter in the OP how many people paid (like 76 of 101 Buyers paid) so you basically can gauge the progress :)

Thank you so much for running this amazing GB :3

Hey guys it may be time to break out the finger breaking club, 34 invoices still unpaid for a total of about $6,500 between this and the Red Alert group buy. Pay up! If you can't pay by Thursday/early Friday please send me a PM to make arrangements if you have not already. I'd like to get the order in this week.

Cheers,
Dave

How does it look with the back lighting on? Also did you memorize the function layer or just keep it nearby written down until you do?

To be honest, I hardly ever use the backlighting. So, I really don't know. I have since taken those keycaps off, that was just for one picture.

Really, the only things I use on the function layer are the directional arrows, which I memorized (OKL;), and delete, which is fn + backspace.
