The bolts and spacer idea is pretty neat. It solves one problem with the acrylic keyboard designs.
Do you glue the spacer in the middle plate? Do you use a hexagonal spacer?

I don't use glue in spacer. Yes, I'm using hex spacer to prevent spinning. The exception is the middle 2 holes, the acrylic ...

* Can you go into specifics why the trackpoint doesn't work over Bluetooth and how you intend to make it work?
* What is the power usage with the LEDs on?

Trackpoint doesn't work over Bluetooth because the required code simply hasn't been written yet. The code should have been straightforward ...

Hi fellow Deskthorian! Let me share my build log of my keyboard, dubbed Promethium51.

Those are my design goals. Now I must ...

This is way too soon than what I expected. Is it too late for me to get a say on this? I'd love to use this on my Planck, and to have minimal Planck support, simply add a few blanks: 1 R2, 1 R3, and 4 R4s. Maybe even change the 4 R4 blanks to a colored arrow set, and at the same time provide an ...

Anxiously waiting for 0102 to ship

Hi! First time here, just wanted to check if everything is okay with my invoice #1141. I have already made the payment last weekend, but haven't received an updated invoice, WASSUP-ing the bot still shows me that I need to make the payment.
Thank you very much for any input :)

Same here. but the ...

FWIW, that Ergodox kit is a perfect substitute for blank Planck and Preonic kit in grid version. Hint: blank SA R2 = blank SA R4.

To zslane: add a single 2u spacebar, then it will be fully compatible with all version of Planck & Preonic.

My suggestions:


Aim for 3 months for delivery, 6 months max.
Stick with fewer, much fewer color variations. Save the others for the next rounds.
Stick with what you always had and rarely available on other GBs: keycaps for oddball custom layouts, blanks for everywhere on the keyboard, alt ...

It seems I should cancel Round 7 altogether, because only a few orders came in and nobody paid.
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
:shock:

There are simply too many running keycap GBs this month. All has much shorter buy periods and delivery ...

7bit, this is maybe a bit late now, and I don't know what the demand is like. but would you consider US international legends? If not now maybe for R8 in a couple years .

eddible wrote: Is R3 escape for a Planck/Preonic?

If anyone wants an R3 Esc, then it is probably for capslock position. Planck/Preonic need a lot more than that.

The suggested Esc/Ctrl combo looks like an absolute gorgeous idea, though. Time to code that into my firmware.

Can't seem to find that "L" key anywhere. What game are you playing now, 7bit? :D
I'm unsure if it is possible to make that legend. But I might try ...

What about A-Z keys with funny symbols like this one on them?
:cool:

Now that you mentioned it, a keyboard filled with alpha-emoji keycaps ...

Can't seem to find that "L" key anywhere. What game are you playing now, 7bit?

"?12 ?13 ?14 ?15" What's up with those question marks? Are those intentional?

I'm thinking split right shift should be standard now (U175 + U100). Split spacebar options should also be available, VE.A style (U275 + U200 + U100) and minivan style (U200).

This is some very impressive scripting out there, 7bit! I can't imagine doing all this manually using Adobe Illustrator like someone suggested before.

No love for blanks? No colemak and dvorak layout?

Implement some kind of search function please. I used to use browser's ctrl-F with the previous format, it is impossible to do that now

yay for the tux novelties!

First question - will I receive some form of confirmation that I did everything correctly and will indeed receive the caps?

Second - I'm extremely new to this and the more I read, the more I'm confusing myself, so I figured I'd just ask :) Is there any ETA on when I can expect to receive these or ...

7bit, it looks like the bot is missing one of my payment. It told me I'm $12.48 short, I already paid that amount on Feb 22. I already asked mashby and he told me to ask you. I also PMed you several weeks ago. Please make the bot behave. Thanks.

They first produce everything with GD/BFP/RDE and later the rest. However, originally I've been told they would start production in January, then February, now it seems to be March.
:cry:

That's a bummer. I have grey-red-blue-black on order, so it looks like my order will be splitted into 2 ...

to 7bit or mashby: I made an order but before my latest payment is confirmed by mashby (I forgot to add the spacebar). Now the bot sent me an invoice for all items including those I've already made payment for. Do I simply need to pay the difference, or do I need to wait until mashby cleared my last ...

7bit:

no TUX key???? well at least I'm not forced to buy the win key, that's what I like from your GBs.

7bit wrote: OK, no problem!

The more you order the better!

too bad I already promised this is my final change

7bit, I absolutely hate to do this to you. but please revert my ROUND3/STANDARD125 back to ROUND3/STANDARD. I'll pay the difference right away. this is my final change, promise!

7bit: thanks!

7bit, is it still possible to do some last minute shuffling? It appears I can place an order (I just ordered a ROUND3/MODIFIER), but cannot remove one (can't remove ROUND3/FN). I also want to change ROUND3/STANDARD to ROUND3/STANDARD125. Is this still possible?
