Neat!

Thought you folks might be interested in this one.

Wow - talk about a necro-thread! I've changed careers 3 times since I wrote that post (and moved house 4 times! sadly, my device has been lost in the shuffle somewhere... I probably tossed it), but I love that this pops up every couple of years.

I'm using a lot of my caps, but I have some spares floating around. I'll get them together and take a group photo for you. It's not enough to fill out an entire board. BTW, check out these guys - very similar: https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?spm=2114.search0104.8.39.355b76e1lWCzWB&initiative_id...

What are you trying to fill out?

Damn, Mu. So sorry to hear about your losses - remember we're here for you.

Any chance the caps on that hall-effect board are MX compatible? If so, I'd like to call dibs on that one!

Edit: nevermind, I see they are not. Still gorgeous caps.

I think #9 is a hall-effect board, judging by the 4 in-line solder points on each switch. I bet it has some SICK caps on it (likely super thick).

#1 is definitely a G80-11900
Great board, too bad about the trackpad, but you can saw off the numpad and have a pretty neat 80%-ish board. There was a how-to on GH for a while, not sure if it's still there, though.
At the very least, you have a nice set of Vintage Blacks there.

HoneyDox? ErgoWell? (hahah - erg oh well!)
These look great if you don't look too closely. I have some quality quibbles (no more SP - I've had 3 for 3 sets with quality issues, and what do they use to remove the sprues, gravel?)
All said, it's a very pretty set - the colors are outstanding.

They do look good on my ErgoDone

Here are some pics, as promised.

lukenukem: You installed it with the sprue facing "up," which should be correct. I did the same thing, because I don't want to see that nasty sprue. This officially marks the LAST time I will be buying any SP products. The QA on these is even worse than it was on the DangerZone caps. Lots of sprues,...

Got my order a few minutes before we walked out the door for vacation, so I didn't get to check it out. Pretty stoked to finally have (hopefully) everything on hand now!

Good lord.
Are you sure they're from this round? None of the Round 7 (Algol) caps have even, to my knowledge, been ORDERED from SP yet.
I wouldn't expect anything from Round 7 until 2020 (not kidding)

No, you are not.

I got 50 red ESCAPE keys too few, so there are some people who will not get a red ESCAPE soon. As soon as these are available, I will ship them out for free. :? Anyone in this list needing a stand-in Red 1u R1 key, PM me; I have a limited number of blanks I don't need. Alternatively, I have several...

Couldn't find the renders, but here's the real deal.
In case you don't notice the comment under the photo - the blue and black one nearest the camera is the 3d printed mould, the one in the background is made of wood (and bondo).

Oh, MAN! I really like that ErgoDox. I am in the process of re-building my back-yard aluminum forge so I can cast a uni-body ErgoDox case. I agree that 20% is pretty much the sweet spot for tenting, btw. I'll see if I can find my CAD files from where I had the mould 3d-printed.

Just add it to your next 7bit group-buy order.

I see your MiTo Laser-themed desk mat. I got mine last week, but I'm waiting for the caps to deliver before I roll it out.

I think we've all dropped off at one point or another for various swathes of time, but I'm legitimately concerned about Soarer.

Oh, I do see it. Weeeeird.
You're just special, Luna... you should be used to it by now.

Those all say HONEYG in your invoice...

Sorry for not posubg anything about any progress. However, I've packed a lot of orders and will ship them throughout next week. ...

I wonder how many orders are left to ship. Has anyone offered to handle US distribution? Have 7bit shoot the caps over in a single big shipment, then let someone stateside send them internally to the other US buyers? Might save some time (and some shipping costs, which seems to be the biggest hold u...

I feel like I probably already know the answer to this, given that the name contains FUNCTION, but what row is HONEYG/FUNCTION1/BLACK? I think it's the only one that doesn't say.

Oh, god, the beeping.

Oh, MAN - I love this thread. I'll have to post a few vids of my 5 ErgoDox boards. Here's the list: Mechanical Keyboards dot com PCBs (white), with Gateron Browns - PCB-mounted in a custom tented case I made (wood and fiberglass) wearing GMK Yuri Cherry-Profile ABS caps.

But I think the problem with a set like that is that's it impossible to configure a Pure, Race or K68M with it. Different size shiftkeys and spacebar immediately caught my attention and I'm sure there are many others. How do you go about that? Damn, this is hard the first time around ... Alternate ...
