Billiards GB

I thought I would start a thread so that people could post related comments and get updates from this group buy.

As soon as all packages have shipped, I will open an extras sale.

Best idea for a group buy yet.

I'd love an F row like in early cherry boards, if your looking for ideas.

I've gotta admit, your keyboards looks really nice.

Any ETA on Pi keys, so I know when I'll receive my sets?

question - I've seen you harping on about this now for a number of weeks... is this an inside joke between you and OP that we are all unaware of?

It's a inside joke between him and his ego.

I like this idea. ^^

We tend to go for bright and flashy a lot. Something subdued and subtle would be nice. The image below caught my eye the other day; brown and dark red look great together:

I'm very happy now, hash likes the idea :)

Your brown and red is very close to BBC micro mate.

I put a post in the workshop forum called cherry manuals or similar. Product information with lots of vintage cherry pics. The 1982 catalogue has a lot of examples.

I think a beige moogle to match the alphas would look nice too. But that function rows nice and Retro!

I bit. I'm a sucker for billiards. I spent far too much of my youth in pool halls.
