I got mine two days ago. Maybe I should dare to open it...

Today? I will have to delay it till tomorrow!

I will give it a go later today.

Got my ISO enter keys, and a new intl. NO+++ kit. The enter keys look great. The profile fits better than I expected. The new intl. kit... I only complained to SP about the legends on the ÆØÅ keys. And they are just as bad in the replacement kit. The Ø is way smaller than the O, The Å is to far to ...

Finally got my package. I haven't had the time to do a full inspection of every single key yet, but overall things are looking good. Not perfect, but good. The biggest issue being that my ISO enters are missing in action, but I'm sure SP will fix that. Alignment and legends are for the most part ...

Still no update on the USPS tracking since July 13. I've also been checking the tracking number at the Norwegian mail service pretty frequently, but nothing. But today I realized that you can use your phone number to get all pending shipments in the mail system (Norwegian). And there it was! It has ...

When was the sets received in Europe the last days shipped? Mine was shipped on July 10th, and the last status on the tracking is from the 13th. "LOS ANGELES, CA 90009 DEPART USPS SORT FACILITY"

I would not assume the last US status before going to Europe to be on the west coast, but I could be ...

Since Signature Plastic doesn't post on DT, I'm sure it's OK if I repost this from Geekhack:



I've ordered ISO Enter, so that explains why I'm still waiting.

Actually, Omikron set this mess up by posting the contents of the e-mail as plain text, and not as a quote.

I miss the times when you could order a Thinkpad without a touchpad.

Just confirmed with a Mac user that you even have "shift+option+4 for ¢" (eurocent). I don't keep change!

Argh. I noticed a missing key for Swedish users. On Swedish keyboards (at least on Mac), we have € and 4 on the same key. Like this: http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/HT2841/Swedish.gif

But I guess it's too late to fix that now?

Just pointing out that that would not ...

You will have to excuse my crappy compact camera, but there are too many conventional working spaces in this thread.

True. The numrow in the Cyrillic kit needs to match the rest of the numrow. I'm sure it's just a minor overlook.

Now to kick it off:

I had to try and see what I could use a green spacebar for.

What caps are the alphas? (Can never get enough ÆØÅ)

And now I added an extra common kit + Icon pro mods. Glad this is soon over.

And I just ordered Cyrillic anyway.

++

Common Kit
Numpad
ISO Enter
Text modifiers
Icon modifiers
International: NO
Text pro mod
Multimedia
Nerdom
Lost + found
RGB RGB Icon
7u Space

Only missing blue ISO enter...

I know it has already been discussed, and that it was a last minute addition, but I ...

matt3o wrote:what do you mean by "not a good match for ISO"?

Ngh, I meant not a good match for combining with INTL ISO. Will loose some keys to get my ÆØÅs in.

Should I get Cyrillic even if it's not a good match for ISO? I'm running out of time to decide, so I guess the safe bet is to order it.

I think the icon mods look great. So far ordered:

Common Kit
Numpad
ISO Enter
Text modifiers
Icon modifiers
International: NO
Text pro mod
Multimedia
Nerdom

(Lost + found)
(RGB Icon)
(7u Space)


The three last ones were on my "maybe"-list. But I added them to the order today.

No import tax for the EU. In Norway, we have to pay about $30 + 25% of the total value. Unless of course someone mixes up the customs declaration. (hint, hint )

I'll probably get both kits anyway, but isn't it a bit strange to have ISO left shift and Alt Gr (wich only ISO users need) in two separate kits?

I vote for keeping the current font.

Also, on your previous "mock ups", there were no space between "Alt" and "Gr" on the Alt Gr key. If there is enough space on the cap, the space between the words should also be there.

I would hate to loose the legended ISO enter. Sure, $6 is much for one key, but it's a small added cost when going for a full ISO set. Does putting blank + legended ISO enter i one kit help it out?

My priority for ISO enter:
1) Icon
2) Text
3) Blank

Am I mistaken, or is page down usually shortened "PGDN", and not "PGDW"?

Just saw this thread. Looking good! I'll take anything with a Norwegian set. (you can hardly get a keyboard with Norwegian legends in Norway these days )

This looks awesome! I don't care how good they make track pads. I still prefer trackpoint on laptops.

I was only planning on getting one set of caps, and now my total is almost $600. I hope this deadline is the actual deadline so I don't get the chance to order even more.

ø is so cute. how do you pronounce it?

The pronunciation is very similar to the o in love, don't know how else to describe it.

Det uttales da ikke løv!

I would say it's closer to the pronunciation of "uh", without the "h".
