by default it's the "pause" key, but you can configure it on any key actually

Sounds like another use case for SysRq, the useless key!

mmmh that's not an easy one.

I'd say

FIRM
WARE

if they can do it with nice kerning and well aligned letters...

That reminds me: I'd like a PONY key, but only if it's nicely kerned, and comes in pink.

PON Y
IN
PI NK

@matt3o: which color and which row?

Augh, you're doing it wrong!

all colors! all rows!

if I have to pick just one color I'd say white on red (or the default white on gray) it's hard to pick a row... 1, 2, 3

it would be for custom keyboards... it's pretty hard to foresee where people want it. by default it should be row 1 (pause/break).

Wonder how much that key would be…

Not that I have similar ideas. µ µ µ µ µ µ µ µ µ µ µ µ µ µ µ µ

Paid my final bill.

Hooray!

Give us a deadline… and then another deadline… and then once the banks are closed we all pay!

Finally paid the entirety of my bil!! Now the wait begins...

@7bit, when are you planning to send the order to SP?

PS: sent second payment.

Aw damn only just realised that there is no row 2 @' for uk dvorak.....balls to it, if the bot will let me i'll change my order. Bored of being told to order more so that I can pay. ALRIGHT I'LL DO IT!

Wait, you just added a 3 unit space bar?

So much for closure! I'd better figure out my space bar situation again.

Also: everyone jump on the ultimate blank kit:

It's on the wiki now, so it must be legit. I have ordered 4! 32 caps for $19 is worth consideration.

Can I still order keycaps (no previous order) or is the deadline reached? Ordering is 2014-01-06 but 100% payment is 2013-12-31. I am confused and I need some keycaps

Fire the 7bot the appropriate PM (with email address) and see if he lets you in. I believe he's the brains in this outfit!

Oh, nice. Where are the stems on that thing? Is this for Tipros and the like?

Doesn't say anything about Tipros (where I could also use it), so I assume 7bit either doesn't know or that there's just one regular mount in the middle. For a sweet little space bar that size, I think it's worth a shot.

Muirium wrote:Wait, you just added a 3 unit space bar?

it has always been there actually It's the first thing I added to my order... but I understand this GB is pretty vast, I often find some new key I didn't spotted before, but I already paid... I'm done. Closed. Now gimme my keys

PS: I suspect mounting points are the same as 2u

Oh, whoops, you're right. I checked my mails from the bot and I actually had it on my order about a month ago until one of the trimming rounds.

Like those worked…

And paid! Woop!

Now we play the waiting game...

I'm afraid I did not ask.

According to a Cherry brochure (Keymodule_MX.pdf; thanks dirge!) the stabiliser stems are 1 unit apart from the center, contrary to 0.625 units for 2-2.75 units keys. But I will ask, becuase it could be different on SP key caps.

Thanks! I've placed my order to 7bot, but doesn't get any response. Is there a special PayPal account or where can I throw my money at?

That's cool by me (I could put it on my Tipro until I make a custom board designed especially for it), so long as it has some stab stems!

PM 7bit himself about it. Make sure you talked to the bot using the correct syntax. (Yes, this one of those group buys.) I don't think orders are closed yet, but he's the one who runs the show.

And only PayPal precisely as ordered!

I keep getting invoices without instructions on how to finish my payment. I only have $8 or so outstanding so maybe that's why?

Guess I should just wait till I get an update on who to pay, but still, I'm DEATHLY afraid my order will be cancelled and then I will have to leave this mortal coil.

The bot is right. Anything less than $10, if I remember, isn't worthwhile collecting with 7bit's proxy system. So order more caps to feel better and trip the threshold!

I'm still getting nagged by the bot for three hundred bucks, but I'll blame that on the bank holiday.

Three... hundred..? Now that's dedication. And I was thinking of just ordering a spacebar!
