it will be directly from SP. I gave them permission to reprint them, so it's official. They'll try to make them in summer but it could be later in the year. We'll know better around May/June I guess. In the meantime Nuclear Data is officially in production (and midnight will be soon :) ) Do you kno...

I'm using an Access IS, which has plate-mounted Cherry MX blacks, and on it the K-Series feel very similar to the SA relegendables, though the K-Series feel a bit flatter/wider on top and have a more harmonic ring to their thunk when bottoming out. The SA relegendables are very similar wall thicknes...

I want to buy one to see what‘s the deference from SA.

I have some SA relegendables and some keys from the K-series sampler on my keyboard and can confirm they they feel like identical row heights if that helps.

My keyboard is ready. Thank you so much for organising this!

Ohhh I didn't even consider contacting them now for additional keys - I just assumed I'd have to refer to my order number. Edit: I should have contacted before placing my order as I was working on the assumption that I'd be able to purchase other standard keys so long as they were 1U, such as number...

I could definitely use the 5 blanks too - in fact I'll be needing 6 for my space "bar", but then I'm not putting these on a Planck so my needs probably won't match anyone else's needs. If you're keen on getting the non-homing F and J you could request them once you place your order as instructed on ...

From the "[MechSupply.co.uk] Devlin Novelty/Sampler Pack" thread:

UKKeycaps wrote: ↑Like GMK, Devlin only produce ABS keycaps

whats the difference between the two series ? Devlin's Q is basically a thicker version of Signature Plastic's DSA, whereas K is essentially a thicker SA (equivalent to uniform row three) - Q is uniform low profile and quite thick, K is uniform high profile and really thick. I have some K series ca...

Ooooh! Thanks

Best news I've gotten all week! So Skidata says coming this week, but Rad-Away is still just "coming soon" how far apart are you planning to run these group buys?

Seems like an easy mistake to make though - Devlin seem to be so secretive that there's no telling what mounts they produce caps for. You need to bust Devlin right open and have them offering up information to the level that Signature Plastics do... for the good of the community :D I am seriously in...

Devlin have a double shot mold for line feed? Is there any way to find out their complete list of molds? I'd be very interested to know what they can do.

Ugh!! The anticipation is killing me! You've gotta give us something. Any chance of putting up renders for K-Series Rad-Away on your site?

Also curious, is Q-Series Ski-Data being run only as a 60% as the render on Mechsupply suggests, or will it have the option for TKL and full 104 key layouts?

Yes!!!

Just kidding, I'll push them for more info.

Seems too likely to joke about, they sure seem to play hard to get

Always spell everything in full! I don't think I have ever seen an "ESCAPE" key before... but I want one!!

Also, ALT should be ALTERNATE

Proper doubleshot media keys? I just got interested again. The vol+ and vol- look a bit weird. Why not the unicode symbols with three sound waves for volume up, and one sound wave for volume down? This: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f50a/index.htm and this: http://www.fileformat.info...

I'm definitely interested in either RAd-away or Skidata! Looks like you're in luck, both of them are running (Skidata will run as a full set and Radaway is running a Plank kit only) :lol: No mixing and matching, though! Skidata is going to be Q-series and Rad-Away is planned to be K-series. Choose ...

Hi Bob, I don't remember what model exactly, it belonged to my old teacher, we get to use it if you forget your calculator at home, it was quite basic and didn't have all the modern functions (trigonometry and such), so no one wanted to use it. It was some old soviet era calculator, but it looked s...

Ah I see, looks very different. Reminds me of an old calculator I used to use at school. Could you post a pic of that calculator? Was it something like one of these? The Brauns seem quite common and I couldn't easily find other round button calculators http://blog.iso50.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/...

UKKeycaps wrote: ↑Rad-Away will still be produced in a K-Series Planck Keyset

Sigh of relief!

Z series is a bit weird, but could make some really interesting sets. It puts me in mind of the Datamancer/typewriter style caps.

Oh, that's sad. Really was hoping for Rad-Away. Personally I think there is already too much skidata like keysets, ... My sentiments exactly. A full grey colourway is just too plain for my liking, even with the splash of orange, but subtle and popular is a good bet for a first groupbuy, so I can se...

I see that Q-series Skidata has been put up on Mechsupply as "coming soon". I'm hoping that doesn't spell bad news for Rad-Away, but rather that one Devlin GB will will run at a time.

In terms of where to go next with Devlin keycaps once this buy is done: ... 3) Monthly (or every 2 months - or longer!) 'design your own Planck' sets, lasered legends only. Pay a set amount for a completely custom Planck set, use any font you want, choose from list of colours, any layout, any desig...

Child deals will depend on what double-shot legends Devlin has beyond the basics.

I LOVE YOU

I mean, thank you

I'll let the community decide that :D The K series is very similar to SA, just way thicker. Currently it seems it will be: - Full Q series keyset = Skidata - Planck K series keyset = Rad-Away ...so no child sets? :cry: I'm still going to wait and hope that I can get enough Rad-Away keys for my Acce...

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure you missed the vote:

Rad-Away, for sure! Have you considered what base and child sets you'll be doing? I really like the way Overcast DSA was planned, but white on black caps was just a bit too vanilla for my liking, that and I promised myself I'd wait to see the Devlin sample pack before I joined another group buy.

(edit: moved the rest of my post to a more appropriate thread)

This is exactly why I joined down to the keyboard exactly! I have no idea how these group buys work but I'm excited to get some keys. I'm especially excited to see Greek Keycaps. Woo! High five! I'm starting to learn that there's a lot of patience required in waiting for the right keyset to drop. A...
