Hell no. These have been sold out like hotcakes. The spare sets have already been raffled.

If I did not make any major mistakes we will have another raffle for three more sets soon though.

Sorry for the late Response. I wanted to thank you, Sixty, for the set. Got mine 2 weeks ago and it's fantastic.

Hi Sixty,

I just got my set, but I am having problems with the larger keys like the numpad's + key, Enter Key etc. The stems are too loose to fit the stabilisers on my Filco Multicam, making it much more difficult to tap the shift keys etc. Moreover, the Numpad's + key won't even fit into my keyboard as it would just get stuck in a depressed position. Any help would be appreciated!

Standard issue with the SP keys.
Fit a small piece of tissue when you are inserting the stabilizers, works fine for me.

I'm not sure whether the '+' key would have the stabilizer, but try with the tissue thing, make sure the stabilizer is tight and see if that works

Tried the tissue trick, though the + key still gets stuck in a depressed state on the Multicam Majestouch.:o

Meanwhile, tried the + key on another Filco Majestouch 2 standard keyboard and the + key works better.

The key switch should push it back up, no matter how loose the stem is...it sounds like the key is binding up on the case or on another key. Check for clearances there. You might need to just sand the bottom edge of the key slightly to make it operate smoothly. You don't even notice the bottom edge of the key when it's installed, so it's no big deal. Sucks when that happens, though, and I've had it happen to me with other SP keys. :(

Litster, I'm going to need the location of the fake rock you hide your spare house key in and your work schedule for the next 7 business days. :) Damn that looks good.

This turned out to be the better SP execution, very minor annoyances this time. Or is it the Sixty / Korean karma and persistence?


EDIT: I also gave my Round 3 old-school keycaps to a close friend, so in a way I turned to the Light Side. Sad.
