2016?

I thought 2016 was for Round 5.

Let's say 2019.

HONEYB sounds and looks more sexy than HONEYA!

sean4star wrote: ↑The 25% Autumn Sale applies to Round 5a too, right?

Yes, sure!

When prices go down, people who ordered and paid right now get lower prices, too.

What colour code is Cream?

I assume "RDE/WV violet on white", as mentioned on the Round 5a wiki

What's 50 (25%) about? Code for "ideally distributed 200"? Anyway, if we can get down to $3 for space bars, that would be encouraging.

Those codes are for "violett" and white. Believe it or not: Round 5a has separate white and cream colours. Cream is the one I want to ID. I'm very likely to grab some blue alphas, but I want to check my colour table for the cream set.

Seems SP does not have all colors on their color sample rings. I don't have RDE, BTW.

WV is the color used for text in Round 4.

25%: The 25% rebate is applied to your payment. Once order flooding in, prices fall down and you pay effectively the price in the 50 (25%) column!

BTW: Does anybody know how much they (SP) charge for shipping?

Here, you have to pay $7, no matter how many kits you order, unless you want special shipping!

Halvar · 23 Sep 2014, 16:35

So "cream" is just the "not-as-white-as-Round5" white (WV) from Round 4 legends, right?

It's on the photo, and it does look creamy.

7bit · 23 Sep 2014, 16:37

Yes.

Now I see it.
It is next to WA (pure white), so this photo is really bad.

Same. Purple and cream? And here I thought 2 KBs + 1 numpad in black/white/red would do me...

Nuum · 23 Sep 2014, 17:31

Are there leftovers from Round 4 SPH as well, so you could for example buy a complete german SPH TKL set?

Halvar · 23 Sep 2014, 17:43

No, but don't worry, 7bit will add that option at circa deadline #5 ...

Yslen · 23 Sep 2014, 17:45

What are the chances of 40% kits for the 5a stuff? My girlfriend likes the purple and cream but it'll need to fit a JD40...

Muirium · 23 Sep 2014, 18:08

Round 5A would have been a top up. This is turning into full blown Round 6!

Someone with the samples can take a picture of these specific colours. Back when I had the samples, my macro was too long to fit all of them in one shot! So out came the iPad camera…

Actually, here's a proper one. WV (Round 4 SPH "cream") is not in this image, but you can see just how white WFK is so I guess theyre quite different.

overstrike · 23 Sep 2014, 18:24

Numpads! I'm in.

These have Super and Meta; any chance we could get Hyper?

sean4star · 23 Sep 2014, 18:40

How different are the SPH and Round5 greys? Would Round5 grey still look good together with the SPH blue?

7bit · 23 Sep 2014, 19:11

I'm quite sure they look good, but the 2 greys would bite each other.

BTW: You can actually order these, this is not an interest check!

janvkn · 23 Sep 2014, 19:23

I was only going to go for one R5 keyboard, but now I'm really tempted to go for these designs as well:

First the classic Space Cadet look for one of my Poker II's:

Then this:

Inspired by a Control Data Corporation terminal keyboard from the seventies:

Nuum · 23 Sep 2014, 19:43

I'm considering buying SPH mods + Round 5 alphas and DE kit, to have a Space Cadet keyset, but in German ISO. Are you planing to do a rerun of the SPH International kits, 7bit?

7bit · 23 Sep 2014, 19:51

To make one thing clear from the beginning:
This is to use up keys that are still available because they are leftovers resulting from MOQs.
This is not to make more leftovers!!!
Also: MOQ is 25 kits!
Also: This is still Round 5 (and a bit of Round 4), but not Round 6!!!!

My head hurts.

So half of Round 5a is directly compatible with round 5 as its the same colour scheme, but the other half is round 4 colours right?

So which grey is grey in round 5a? If you take a honeyb/tkl is it:
WFK/GPA white on grey (Round5/HONEY)
WFK/NN white on black (Round5/HONEY)
or
WV/GD white on grey (ROUND4/SPH)

(so if you wanted to add international bits from R5 would colours match?)

Kits that contain SPH-grey are called HONEYB/*/SPH and the Round 5 Honey grey kits are HONEYB/*/GREY.

These are Round 5 colors:

These are Round 4 colors:

GPA is the grey that is shared between R5 and R5a. In the name of the set it is always referred to as GREY (e.g. HONEYB/ALPHA/GREY)

GD is the grey from R4. In the name of the set, it is referred to as SPH (e.g. HONEYB/ALPHA/SPH)

No full 105 key ISO layout spacecadet blue/grey keyboard makes me a sad panda.

It makes my wallet pretty happy though.

facetsesame · 23 Sep 2014, 21:14

Well.

The cream looks delicious! And the duck dominance is downright impressive.

I guess maybe ISO support could follow later when the 7bot in-tray is overflowing?

7bit · 23 Sep 2014, 21:20

OK, 1.25 units SHIFT and JRET, what else?

BTW: I can offer HONEYB/BEPOALPHA/SPH

daryl123 · 23 Sep 2014, 21:20

Any way to get a 1.75x shift in round 5a?
