So Nuclear Data is only intended/allowed to have a single 300 unit run?

I don't think we will have much more of nuclear data, but if Melissa asks to print more I won't say "no"

So matt3o, will this include international sets? I could murder for the Swedish layout.

I am so freaking pumped about the re-run of SA Retro. This is going to be my biggest keycap investment yet.

The timing hopefully dovetails nicely with this awesome project: http://www.breadbox64.com/blog/c64-keyboard-prototype/

There are some C64 themed boards being developed right now as well. a 60% (or 65% not sure) should be dropping soon.

Nice, I'll keep my eyes peeled! We recently moved cross-country so I haven't been keeping up with all things mechanical keyboard and retrocomputing.

Shame about some of the QC issues we're seeing with these new Nuke Data sets

Looks like SP got a bad batch of (green) plastic from their supplier. Bummer!

The album is mine, the picture is one that got sent to me by someone wondering if I had any luck getting ahold of SP about the set. SP had ignored my initial emails so I ended up having to open a claim.

Well, the dt post is by a new account from the UK which bought the same kits ;) Maybe the quality of the caps is not good enough or he likes swimming in the sea. As there will be 200 more sets soon it's a really good time to flip a set

This one is mine - I bought two sets, one for me, one for a colleague.
I paid all aditional cost - delivery, extra insurance, VAT, custom fees and at the end the guy changed his mind :cry:
So I have one set for sale now...

Quality wise - its all great, no issues with my sets.

I'd like to make a request for the next round of SA Retro.

I'd like to see the following keycaps added to the set in some kit or other. Note that /dev/tty provides these keycaps, so I know Matt3o does not object to them in principle:

1. A row2 up-arrow keycap and a row4 up-arrow keycap. The former is so that arrows can be placed in the WASD or IJKL cluster, and the latter is for keyboards like the WhiteFox.

2. A 1.25u FN keycap and a (row3) 1.75u FN keycap. The former is for the many small boards that have an FN key on the bottom row, and the latter is for people like me who remap the Caps Lock key to be a second FN key on keyboards like the Pok3r.

it's in the queue of SP production line. Don't know exactly when, but it is going to happen sooner or later, hopefully end of summer

There’s a little less than a month left of summer now! :) I don’t suppose anyone has heard anything about SA Retro...

Just wanted to revive this thread and post this here, seen on Drop! There needs some support for brown modifiers and alphas to replicate a proper C64 breadbin colorway. If anyone hasn't seen this, please let it be known that this set looks like is going to happen!
