If the prototypes ship this week there is a good chance they arrive by Friday if they use DHL Express. But I would plan for some delays of a week or so at least; who knows what delays will come up. And there will be longer delays if the prototypes are not good and/or the flipper resin does not work...

So will the website be up and running before the 13th of November?

Just wondering if the purchasing of your keyboards still remain for that date or has it been pushed back?

But I would think about what you want the site to do first. Asking for a best website is like asking for the best keyboard. ;) The MOST important thing is to make a very simple website that loads into everyone's browser almost immediately. Don't use Java, Flash or some other inane browser plug-in t...

It just underscores how painstaking the engineering and care was that went into their design and manufacture, and how we'll never again see mass-produced electronics as durable and relevant to future generations as those have proven to be. For the FIRST time here we have an opportunity to finally a...

A question for Ellipse here, Have you designed and made a Label/Sticker for your new Keyboard yet? Must have something on the front side of the keyboard denoting it's an Ellipse F62 Kishsaver or an F77 Industrial Model for all the world to see. Happy with even just your name the "Ellipse Special" or...

It's like Back to the Future, Marty .

I am also playing around with a Batgirl-themed colorway featuring dark blue alphas and yellow modifiers. I guess I have a "thing" for blue alphas... Mmmmm Batgirl, sounds intriguing 8-) . Looking forward to seeing that as well. Like it when someone starts furnishing our eyeballs with NEW colour-ways.

Every time I see this colour way, I get a good feeling from the good old days .

Best of any Blue Key-set so far released, hope it goes soon through SP's molds.

Same price even for the HHKB Shifters? Nice one. Thanks Ellipse. (My timid wallet hopes proxies get a discount… That I can do. A few boards anyway.) This F77 Industrial keyboard is a thousand times BETTER than any cheapo rubbish HHKB (sorry sunshine, it has to be said). I'm in like Flynn with this ...

I'm working on rendering my own 3D mockups for SA Dasher/Dancer, with the goal of eventually producing images that will really draw interest to the set. It is all still quite a work in progress, but it's getting there little by little. Unfortunately, I'm somewhat hindered by the very modest worksta...

No, the feel is much dryer. Sandy and slick at the same time. Hard to describe. Finally a permanent coating for our old keyboards, thanks for bringing it to our attention here. Pity you seem to be living in the US of A otherwise I would drive down to your area and get several of my IBMs covered in ...

As for me, I've been after both versions of this colorway for a while now and have been wanting to get a set of SA keycaps. This is pretty damn well perfect for me. The 1-1-2-3-4-3 idea is solid as well. Agreed, it's a nice accent of blues here and it's been sometime since someone concentrated only...

"Belisama" not found. Did you mean "Melissa"? :? I don't usually have dreams involving Mrs Petersen. Belisama : Celtic Goddess of Crafts ! You can dream on about her but do know that Mr. Petersen shall visit you at night, rip off your right arm and beat you senseless with it. Sweet dreams...... 8-) .

Unicomp isn't a graphic design company probably because someone took a shine to CorelDRAW and didn't know when to stop .

At least you lot still have older IBM logos and alike to fall back on to illustrate your keyboards.

Damn that's one fine piece of keyboard there. What would be brilliant, if someone provided Clears instead of Blacks.

At this point I expect to do some testing for a week or so on the prototypes when they arrive (as well as some HD video and sound recordings with some nice XLR microphones), and then open up orders for a month or so. I think you'll hit the 200+ mark easily as everyone swarms in to witness true hist...

Signed on for ONE F77 only because I heard such nice things about Model-F's in general and would love to own one keyboard, built to Ellipse's standard. Plus Ellipse seems to be a serious individual here, so anything connected to him looks to be a 100% certainty. You are the ONLY one doing this in a ...

Let them master the M spacesaver first. They don't seem to be having a real easy time with the project. Maybe because they want to still build this in the US, so why not go to China and get this finally finished and ready for sale to everyone around the world? Not meaning to offend the official har...

Don't worry if you haven't got enough to make a full on TKL layout, then order some MORE .

Round 5a is still running, so don't miss out on this before it's too late.......

That would be nice........

Just to be clear, those that paid $69.00USD for shipping (Australia) which should of included an 'adjusted' insurance amount as well (under $1000).

Of course paying that amount, there is still no guarantee of actual delivery.

Just remember fellow unshipped people, every shipped order that isn't yours is you getting one package closer. Hang in there, comrades. With you there, but who will ever know in this Group Buy, besides those still waiting :( ? Another year shall arrive 2016 and then there will be Round 6 starting.....

Keep 'em coming, waiting to see my order number to show up soon .

When I see it, will be doing back flips in the office .

The only people who get that the banner is a tongue-in-cheek joke are people already in on the joke, i.e., experienced GBers. I'm just letting you know how it comes across to a newcomer, and the potentially negative impact of it. :| Since you are now christened into the 7bit Group Buy system then y...

So true, it's like waiting for the TTIP to be finally approved, and you know how long that will take .

PLEASE keep them coming ........Sir

I wouldn't pay 100% personally, when the prices drop you will need to order MORE CAPS ;-) That's the right spirit! :evilgeek: Would like to ORDER more BUT have not even received the first 5 batch, which had more than $1000.00USD spent on them. Mrs has no idea the amount that went missing on this Gr...

More packages will ship during this week.

Great, - you seem to of had a very brief holiday period.....

Looking forward to seeing that FAMOUS list of shipping numbers that everyone here on DT has been waiting for .

Glad everyone's getting their key-caps already. Hoping mine might come to my address here in Convict Town before Christmas 2015 but thus far, it looks like a distant mirage on some dry landscape .

With my luck, bet I won't see anything till February 2016........ if anything at all .
