I think 7bit has to actually run the bot, for the WASSUPs to get responses.

I sent one too... after all this time, I honestly have no idea what I ordered and what I haven't gotten yet. Luckily, eventually, the bot will tell me, rather than me having to actually find the old invoice emails!

7bit ...

There was a GB in China with exactly the same colors as 7bit's R6 phase 2 (White/Grey/Blue) about 2 months ago, production slot was told in Jan. 2017, I would put those orders in production together with 7bit's if I was SP, so let's say end of Jan. 2017 is probably a ship date from SP to 7bit for ...

I believe we're looking at 2017 just for the website to finish loading all the pictures. JK 7bit, it's actually loading really fast, much faster than the wiki for R6.

Seconded. Lil guy is melting my jaded, sarcastic heart.

Now they put those Ice cpas in the schedule.
Still no change to our phase 2:(

I was thinking - they must finish Chocolatiers set by February 2017, so they must finish our phase2 by then, right?
Chocolatier isn't even on schedule yet.

The Ice Cap ones, being dye sub, should be easier and faster ...

Penumbra was SA. If "other vendors" are doing Penumbra 2 then it must not be a spherical keycap set.

In terms of the (somewhat) immediate future, there is no other vendor poised to compete with SP for double-shot sphericals. They still have, and will continue to have, a monopoly on those. And ...

They (and we) are a victim of their success, and while it would seem to make sense for them to buy more machines, that is a huge financial investment for them, not to mention we don't know if their plant even has room (and power capacity) for more machines and the employees to run them.

That ...

I think 7bot became self aware, killed the real person 7bit and took over his online activities. Now 7bot needs more funds to complete work on a machine that will transplant his consciousness into the half rotten corpse of real life 7bit. Be afraid.

I wonder if it will be smart enough to realize ...

The expected completion date has passed again! This means I'll surely have my caps in a matter of days!

Just kidding. Where's that sarcasm reversed question mark? Oh, here it is. ⸮

This means I'll surely have my caps in a matter of days⸮

It's been mentioned that the orange change is going to impact the delivery date - any idea what that impact will be?

Sorry to make you repeat yourself if you've already been saying it.

I love Dasher/Dancer so I'd love to see it happen. Have you looked back to see how other produced sets did on those polls? How did Chcoolatier do, that's probably the one to go by, given that the others were either old sets redone (pulse) or second run sets (jukebox), or just a while ago so numbers ...

I'm not sure how DT feels about necro bumps, but here we are.

This was a really helpful guide! A couple of items, if anyone comes along and uses it. In the order of the process:

First off, there's 4 screws on the back of the case - two visible, one sneaky under the S/N, and another sneaky under a ...

Hi guys,

Late to the party, but can I still get my hands on a set of

- White with black legends - ALPHAS
- Black with white legends - MODS

Pushing my luck?

Read the first post in the thread, there are links to what's still available and how to order. I think there are still white alphas, but ...

Got my Round 5 leftovers in the mail over the weekend! Finally put them on my Planck (with my daughter's help) last night. Really love the feel of these SA keys. This is definitely NOT the final arrangement, but at least I was able to get enough keys to cover the whole board.

Hey, we match! Round ...

Very interesting. Note those row 3 shifts though - lol-worthy. I assume that's a sign of "not ready for market," but still, coincidentally funny, given the historical trouble with SP's SA shifts. (And it looks like their Tab key is the wrong row too, anyway.)

What I want to know is: why aren't there cheap Chinese knockoffs of SA caps, just like there is for every other product in the universe? It can't be that hard to make molds, and there's obviously huge demand.

They have a $100 minimum though...

I'm pretty sure that's not true. Where did you see that?

(Also, they aren't *making* the individual keys, they're just selling you them if they have it in an incomplete set.)

I've tried contacting 7bit but have yet to receive a reply. Last time the message didn't get through so posting for visibility.

PM 7bot WASSUP to trigger an email with the current status of your order and the group buy.

Would it be too much to ask that you scroll back a few pages and discover the answer in a previous post? It has been answered numerous times already.
Instead of repeating infos - how about a supplemental FAQ …

All of the items are still in production. SP did not even finish phase one production yet ....
:cry:

I talk about leftovers . It means that you have these keycaps in your storage, right? . All items of my order are from leftovers. So... it means that you can send my order, because it is in your ...

The tears taste the same every time.

My lowball bids were thrashed, so I'm going to be a jerk and post these auctions for ANSI SPACE INVADERS.

Hey 7bit, didn't realize what the timeframe on this GB was going to be like until today - think there's any way I could change my shipping address to something more permanent at some point between now and shipping?

On the Round 6 page, in the How to Order section, there are instructions how to ...

Has anyone done one of those superawesome high quality renders of the violet(t) and/or cream caps?

Even if you've ordered R5 leftovers and requested that they ship separately, you'll end up waiting months and months for those too... :(

2-3 times I've seen 7bit say that they were shipping soon, after he got back from vacation, etc, but ... nothing.

Has anyone received R5 leftovers that they ...

I noticed the SA Jukebox set on Massdrop has a ship date of November. Can we assume in that case that we'll have phase 2 before November?

Probably not. If you take a look at their schedule, it seems to take them about 1-2 months to do a run - and only one month for Nantucket, which is probably ...

I wish there was a way SP could improve their SA moulds to accommodate quicker, cheaper production, with a lower quantity requirement.
Especially considering how popular every set they do ends up being! I can only assume that the equipment involved is incredibly custom and expensive meaning even ...

Yes, Yanbo is my contact over there. Originally it looked like it might be a Sep/Oct timeframe. Then I contacted him again a couple of weeks ago and he said they might try to get it on the schedule around Christmas (MassDrop seems to have a more, um, flexible interpretation of the set's name than I ...

That's what Round 7 is for!

Thanks! The Jukebox's colors don't quite match my desk colors! I'm excited for choclatier, although penumbra's solarized is also nice! Most likely gonna sign up for the white chocolate, though!

I'm not sure any desk matches Jukebox. :P Unless your desk is the counter at the Peach Pit.
