It's finally happening! I'm shipped! 18 months since it was paid for.

This is the monster I'm using on my tread-desk until 5a comes in.

You made this happen, 7bit.

My favorite mouse is the Logitech MX310. They don't make them anymore, so when the clicks started feeling "off" I decided to open my two oldest ones up and check them out.

The buttons have two primary components: a big piece of plastic that your finger rests on (the "button" exposed on the outside ...

The inverse of this:

Yes, exactly.

Most of the photographs don't do the red justice. It's more like blood red than fire engine red.


As far as I can tell, literally every combination in Round 5 ...

This is what I have now:

I have on order the rest of the blue to replace all the gray, and a set of red alphas, which will give me two complete sets. I use three workstations on a regular basis, and I love the SA so much I realize I must have them on my other ...

Quick photo of my keyboard with the new caps.

I wish I had the missing blue mods! At least caps lock. I got the white space bar too, I'll probably swap that in soon. Blue cursors would be nice as well. I have a lot of extras; I had originally planned to use these ...

Just got my keys today and put them on my QFR with browns. This is my first SA set. The stems are so tall, putting them on is a lot more scary than DSA caps.

But oh man, the feel of these caps. So solid compared to anything else I have! They have substance! I can already feel an improvement in my ...

OMG, I'm shipped! I wonder how long it'll take?!

Packed but not shipped? I think he's fucking with me.

And I am sad, because I avoided the red.

Woot, I've been packed! Now I just need to be shipped!

I can't wait to get these orange Tai Hao monstrosities off my main board.

And yesterday was my birthday. You're so mean.

Nein, on Montag! ;)

No joke, till 1976 weeks used to start on Sunday in Germany. Since working on sundays had (and has) heavy restrictions, it didn't change anything.

Yes those restrictions are ancient laws and the church. Totally outdated imo. In 2015 I still can`t go shopping on Sunday.

I ...

199th. Pretty much middle of the road.

No posts from 7bit in a week. Has anyone checked if he's okay?

Ok no worries, just glad it didn't get lost.

If you want to pay via PayPal or Google Wallet: SL89 stops collecting money tomorrow,
so if you want to order something, do it now and pay immediately!!!

I sent a payment on May 7 but received an invoice this morning showing I still owed.

Haha, that's awesome!

Y'all got any more of them photos? Maybe with the keys on an actual board?

ok guys if you are interested in a Bonus Pack this is the time to speak! :)


Ok, so anything goes. Here are a few ideas...
(Some need to be converted to line art obviously)

Amiga logo, just the checkmark, not the name.

Custom legends or just color and size and row variations on existing legends?

I hope the buy is open for a while. I'm hoping to try out my Honeywells first since I don't have a full SA set to test on. I don't want to end up with TWO sets of SA if I end up not liking the profile.

So... are we still going to have two almost-identical-but slightly-different whites for different legends?

Seems like a needless complication.

Just a joke. Between the dark background and the slightly cut-off text, your "offer" look like "otter."

Simplifies things for me; I only need 2 kits now instead of 4.

That looks nothing like an otter to me.

That's hilarious! And if you extend that practice to all the other symbols, "capital 1" is shorter than "exclamation mark"!

So I'd have to buy both lime kits to get green C64 logo keys and a standard sized Return?
