This is a bit of a long shot, but wondered if anyone might be able to help:

A long while ago, I was part of the Round4 group buy ran by 7bit. I'm still using the Noir set today on my Filco + numpad - haven't switched to something else since, and the dishwasher does a great job each year of cleaning ...

Pleased to note that my Round 4 replacement vertical '+' keys arrived this week!

Does anyone happen to have a two row Noir Vertical '+' key from Round 4 that I could buy?

The two I received in the group buy were faulty - they slope in a weird way. A replacement was never forthcoming, the replacement that was meant to reach me got lost in the post. :(

Alternatively, does anyone ...

Sorry to bring this up again, but is there any news on the replacement vertical '+' keys from round 4? I'm guessing that round 5 hasn't shipped yet, and the keys will ship with that?

If not, how would I go about ordering these directly? Does anyone have a spare that they'd be willing to sell? My ...

Okay cool, at least they haven't been lost in the post, I was worried that might be the case. Any idea of an ETA? I don't really mind too much as when I get them, just that I will eventually get them!

What happened about round 4 replacements?

My replacements never came through the post. I figure round 5 is done and dusted now?

I've got an email from the bot and it's there so I guess it must be correct.

I will add them to anybody's order who is missing these, for free.

If you din't do this:

Send a message to 7bit_R4:
MISSING
ROUND3: vertical +
RETRO: vertical +
NOIR: vertical +

The reason why I did not order the replacements earlier is that most are correct, only a few are not, so I did not ...

Were there replacement keys sent out for me?

I had wrong profile +'s and those thick single unit tab keys.

Just wondering. Paranoia has struck me!

Looks like they use profiles.

A full set of keys with symbols on them would be awesome... I suppose it's a good thing that I don't own an ergodox.

I've got one fun idea to add on the subject of media keys.

I have a QPAD MX-80, I've shown a zoomed in picture of the media keys below.

They have an interesting way of dealing with media and function keys: effectively bundling the media symbols with the F keys. You access the media functions by ...

Well if anyone has two white on red keyboard runner retro/noir keys to sell, I'd be very interested.

Just looked up the keyboard runner. Damn. I should check deskthority more.

Just to check, replacement keys haven't been sent out yet right?

Just checking about the +'s and the missing 1 unit tab keys really. Nervous of being missed.

Is there any possibility of getting red esc keys with the symbol too? Maybe something has been organised for it and I missed it.

Also, are the red ESC keys meant to have the letters instead of the symbols? Maybe I just misread.

Maybe they ran out of BCQ and used something lighter without asking.

Forgive me if I'm wrong or this was asked before, but wasn't the red esc key going to have the symbol on it instead of 'esc'?

The 6 unit space bar is missing a stem in the middle that would fit my QPAD too. Damn.

That said, thanks a lot 7bit for doing this. The keys are lovely. :) I have no clue ...

I've fully paid, but for some reason my account is still showing as $22.86 required.

I sent that payment to megnin's email address on the 3rd September, maybe it's been misplaced somehow, since my payment of $33.57 on the 8th has been deducted.

Salisen, I received $22.86 from you on Sept. 3 and ...

I've paid megnin now for the last bits I just ordered.

Prepared to pay a fair amount for it.

NOIR/FN does not make much sense!

Keys have symbols on them, not text.

True

Does Retro not use symbols? 0.o

f(x) would be awesome.

I'll use the command key for a pseudo FN I think.

You see: No keyboard necessary anymore!

Is that a hint relating to phantom leftover parts, mayhaps?

I honestly can't tell whether I like that layout or not

It's... odd!

Oooh, crap, fair point, I've got it the wrong way round. Looking down at the keyboard from above, the off-centre mount is to the right.

The mounting isn't actually used on the QPAD, but the keyboards I've seen around on the net with an off-centre mount always seem to have it off to the right.

EDIT ...

On the subject of SPACENEW, putting an extra fourth mount half way between the two outer mounts would solve the QPAD issues without impacting on the fit for other keyboards. I would be very, very grateful if you could add this mount! The outer mounts are about 1 mm further out on the QPAD, but this ...

Ooooh, RETRO/FN !

Any chance of making that available for NOIR too?

I'd take 3

It's me again about replacement for the Spacebar of the Qpad Mk80. I've measured it and its complete length is 11.5cm.
Now mount to mount: M for mount!
|---9mm-M-----51mm--M--23mm---M--30mm-M-9mm---|
I hope this is understandable and my question now: Which spacebar will fit on this?

Can someone ...

Ooops. Didn't realise quite how much the low quantity fees for NOIR/DVORAK were going to be, just put it in as an aside 0.o

Tried to remove it about 20 minutes ago with NOIR/DVORAK 0, but the latest invoice has come through and it's still there D:

Is there still time to get rid of it?

EDIT: sent ...

I would take 2 of these if available in BLACK.

Silly GEEKHACK!

Same here!

Well, Noir anyway.
