i'm in

I regret that I didn't buy a 1,75 R4 Shift and a 1 R4 blank or FN. Looks so good!

Very nice!

Round 5/Round 6 keycaps look simply divine no matter what keyboard they are installed on.

It's worth noting that these Round 6 (phase 1) keycaps are the first brand new SA keycaps I've ever received through a group buy. In the year and a half that I've been into this, no other SA group buy has appealed to me enough to get in on it. In that time I've passed on Carbon, Danger Zone, Troubled Minds, Jukebox, Amazing Chocolatier, Godspeed, Nantucket Selectric, 1965, and probably a number of others I'm failing to remember.

I acquired previously-owned PuLsE and Round 4 SPH sets back in Fall 2015 just to hold me over until Round 6 got produced. They have served me well, but I am thrilled to finally get my hands on these Round 6 caps.

I know you're joking, but honestly I think if there were any custom full Topre or BS sets, a lot of people would probably jump on even just for the novelty of actually having a secondhand set for them, let alone if people start producing pretty colorways. The future of Topre keysets I think lies in sliders, unfortunately, though they may admittedly be the best option. Still waiting for a good stab solution and a real 'killer app' keyset before I go through with anything like that. I just got my Realforce the other day and the caps are amazing, albeit I did swap the space bar.

Ivory Cadet

Damn I should have gotten more novelty caps. Those lotus caps are sooo sweet.

Dude, that lotus collection is awesome!

My endgame board. Topre RealForce RGB with Hypersphere silencing rings and Round 6 Space Cadet keycaps:

Did you paint it white or have they released a white one?

I had to paint it white myself.

Seems like you did a good job! Well done!

Thanks! It was supremely frustrating to have to have painted it myself though. And installing silencing rings is a royal PITA too. I would have preferred that the plastic itself be white, and the switches factory silenced. But at least I now have the keyboard I always wanted!

Yeah, I hear you on the silencing rings. At least those were easier to install than the dental bands I initially tried (they suck, they remove most of the tactility by travel reduction). Never tried to paint anything though, mostly for the fear of screwing things up...

...oh yes, veeery nice RF!

(waiting for my re-ordered Cadet kits from leftovers...)

I practiced on a crappy HP membrane keyboard that I borrowed from work first, to make sure painting would work out. That HP case took the paint better though, and I was able to get it really bright white. So even though the RF RGB case didn't come out quite as bright (and clean), it is still infinitely better than its original black.

I want those caps! My R6 order is phase 2... Lets wait for 2018.

It was an agonizing 18 month wait. But ultimately worth it.

Lol I just ordered some weeks ago and already got the keys, even before the keyboard I ordered before that have come hehe. But to be fair I didn't get a full set so there will be an unorthodox mix but I believe all rows are right, so this is the price I have to pay - not getting all keys. I'm very happy tho since it get me a working board until the Dasher comes.
Keys looks amazing on their own tho. Im very happy I got them and had a chance to contribute more towards my endgame office board which is the honeywell.

Minorca + Round 6a leftovers.

Even the grey alphas are 6a leftover?

Genius! Looks really good.

Yep! Everything is R6a except the 2.25 spacebars--those are blanks from SP. I'll be getting some legit R6 spaces pretty soon though.

Got mines today

It's here! Now onto checking if everything is there and deciding on which board to put them for now! Pics will follow, hopefully soon.

Wow, those Space Cadet keycaps look awesome against all that yellow. Well done!
