Round 6 mockups

Here are a couple of colorway mockups for keyboards I am thinking of assembling using the forthcoming Round 6 keycaps I ordered. The first is just a basic Honeywell terminal colorway applied to an ANSI 108 layout. The second is inspired by an old CDC-713 terminal I owned in high school.

I'm glad that I stopped like Cherry switches and SA profile because I would be hundreds of dollars poorer after buying these beautiful keycaps.

Graphite with a splash of RASberry:

What is this Round 6 you speak of?

Round 6, the group buy formerly known as Round 5a.

That's the official title, by the way.

Might as well put this one here too since this is the piece de' resistance of my future Round 6 collection:

Thanks for stepping up to be 7bit's new customer support guy, Zslane!

@Muirium: Between your Cappening photos and my renders, I think of us as 7bit's marketing guys.

@mastermachetier: They go into production as soon as 7bit gets enough people to pay for their orders so he can pay Signature Plastics to get started. Was supposed to start this month, but I'm not hopeful. You can order by reading the instructions on the Deskthority group buy wiki and ordering from the "Round 6 leftovers".
