Hello all, After too long a delay, I would like to open up sales of the Oblivion Vimcaps and the Colevrak expansion pack. Oblotzky set the colorway and options, and I will be fulfilling the orders. These keys will be produced by SP at the end of August 2018, so I will get them sent out to individual...

Well, I am lucky, in that I received my keys (west coast USA) but unlucky, in that I was not sent the 1.25u SUPER, META, CTRL, and FN keys from the CADET TLK set. These are, of course, the mods I need.

I think this is worse than waiting a long time.

I'm definitely interested in this variation, depending on the tooling costs.

I got a little bit of a refund when some kits dropped in price, so I added a couple keys. Then I owed a a dollar, so I figured I'd add a little more to make it worthwhile.

And now I've more than doubled my order.

7bit is an evil genius.

I'm even more on board now. Perfect.

I am 100% in. It's also good to have a concise write-up. Thanks for taking the time.

I am very in. Actually, I am buying every Matt3o project.

WooHoo!

Stop it. You're killing me!

I can't wait to see more. I am also *very* curious about the keycaps you are working on...

Probably just sleeping.

More news, please! I'm dying here!

I'm repeating myself, but I can't wait for this.

Here are two more prototype photos showing a nice fit of the top and bottom inner assembly, which slide together like the original.

This is shaping up amazingly well! Each update impresses me more than the last.

Man, it really looks great.

Everything is looking great so far!

I'm learning a lot in this thread. It's very interesting.

Awesome! I am preparing my wallet for action.

As I understand it, this is the way it would have to happen.

This makes me very happy.

I think this is a very worthwhile effort, and I'm glad you're keeping the press on. Let me know what I can do to help. I have some SA theoretically on its way to me, and I will scan the SHIF T, if you aren't already set by then.

I keep hoping there are a ton of blanks at the bottom of one of 7bit's remaining boxes o' caps. I want a full set of Round 5 blanks so badly...

Returning briefly to the topic of shift keys, I made a Google Forms survey. Maybe SP does the molds, or maybe we pay them to (I asked for a quote before I knew zslane already did), but I think a GB may be called for to catch up old sets. And maybe we try to fix the legend. Anyway, if you are interes...

I love this.

The other sized shift are still look like SHIF T, and I figured that's what zslane was thinking. Completely fixing all/most/many varieties of shift keys. In for a penny, in for a pound, and all that.

Also 75% and most 60+% that include arrows. I'm not sure how many this adds up to, though.

If we get really serious, it'd make sense to do a poll through Google Forms.

I think a 1.75u shift is popular enough to warrant its inclusion in the main group. In any event, I will be happy to assist in this effort.

Nah. This isn't really even Offtopicthority. I've never commissioned something from SP. But from what I've heard they're not exactly super keen on constantly working with us at this level of detail. So factor that in too: they might just give up at any point. It uses more of their resources than th...
