Any nice METAL Alps boards out there? I'm looking for an AEK-like 60%+ (AEK64, Lunar, Lunar II) up to a TKL in size. One that's not a basic tray mount.
I've got AEK caps, and I can source switches. Also, I'm open to buying a completed board instead of a kit or a case.

I uploaded some photos to the I-Rocks page. I'll try and get some measurements of the switch with a caliper when I have the chance to pick one up.

Are my edits up to spec? : wiki/I-Rocks_switch

Yes, nateth. Stick around a while longer; you'll get used to 7bit's sense of humor. Whew... I was hoping that was the case, but I've seen some pretty asinine things before. [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND COLD SWEAT] Oh no, the six year old boy running the film to the lab broke his leg! *says chi...

Perhaps. But SP has made the row profile issue irrelevant in this case by only going with row 3. In effect, these new keycaps are just a taller DSA. I'm not sure I really see the point of that.

My thoughts exactly.

Please tell me that's a joke.

What do you think about these keys:

:lol:

Awesome. Although, the one to the right of the power symbol looks a little odd to me. Is that supposed to mean something specific?

Let's not get too excited just yet. The December time frame is still highly speculative. Frankly, tying this set to Christmas just because I made a bit of a pun with the use of Dancer for the inverse colorway still feels awkward to me, but I'll take any slot they give us. As soon as I have more con...

I didn't resign. It has to do with a limit to how much I can take in as an individual vs. if I had a business which as of now I do not.

Well I'm definitely for a Round 2 if you ever decide to do one.

Looking for a blue 1.75u return symbol from the Bonus Pack Icon set. I would buy or trade. I have the 1.5u blue return from the same kit.

I'll be doing an update this week. I was originally trying to do two, but I've had some family issues I've had to deal with.

I'll push out a payment update tomorrow, and also Friday if more payments roll in. Apologies for the wait everyone.

7bot doesn't instantly reply because he's not always running. Once hes running again then your invoice will come.

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. Mold making is hard and expensive: last time I read about it each mold was costing somethi...

Sure they did...

Nevertheless, they provided an initial estimate for the corrections, they should keep it, and they should let the client know of delays. It's not me that has to hope for an estimate, it's 7bit, who is a client with a lot of money invested and more coming in, so for all intents and purposes he shoul...

I'm looking for any of the following colored symbols:

SP can make single keys for $10. Maybe check with them. 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.) Right, $10 if they have spares. T...

I received a invoice which implied that my payment didn't go through. Which is very strange since I paid a while back and I marked it urgent. That is why I wanted to get in contact with 7bit. I just wanted to check the status again with 7bot. Sorry for being unclear and thank you for all your repli...

Wooooo! My Planck is quivering with anticipation!

Yeah I bet it is....

Speaking of which. I'll be updating payments today 7bit.

7bot sometimes "sleeps". 7bit just needs to run the script when he gets a chance.

Too true.

Symbols...Even though I'm late as hell to this party.

7bit, I just got a new invoice for $129 from the new collector, but I already paid this on June 8th, and the funds were accepted by mashby and removed from my account. Hey. 7bot/7bit sends the invoices, not me. I'm just "the Collector". Mashby probably has yet to update 7bit with what's left of his...

Ha. Fair enough. And you're right about Lego. I'm just obsessed with building the my first custom board and I'm whining because I want to get switches that I don't have to desolder.

I decided to give the blue board a shot. I absolutely love the Matias click switches that I modded with quiet click dampened stems. Superbly tactile but relatively quiet for a click switch. It's such a refined feel. Chyros has a really cool video testing the Matias mods he did: https://youtu.be/Son0...

I was emailed the new invoice with the brave Google Wallet collector's info. Thanks, brave collector! Money sent. Now I shall sit in my lair, awaiting the sweet, sweet leftover caps!

Lol. Glad to be of service.

Can I get just the back space and delete keys from the G/SPH/PHANTOM/11K kit in the Round 5 leftovers?
How much would that be?

Thank you!!!!!!!!

Aye. Two payments here, also.
