I must take a look if I can find a SCROLL LOCK ...

That would be fantastic!

Drooling at the stepped Controls in the dummy kits...

Herr Doktor 7 Bit,

If there should happen to be Key Caps left over after the DUMMIES have DUMMIED, might they be Available for Purchase, though perhaps at a higher Price than DUMMY (exempli gratia, one Earth Dollar per Key Cap)?

Sincerely Yours,
A Secret Admirer.

Energy is not renewable!

The catchphrase is: entropy is a bitch.

Aww.. There are a few keys among the dummy kits that I should have ordered back when it was possible. Will have to put a WTB thread for them later when they have been shipped.

Me too, I'd pay 5 USD for Round3 and Sph stepped controls that fit in the place of Caps lock... I didn't knew what a dummy kit was... dummy.

Are those deep dish F and J?

I think SP doesn't have deep dish molds for DCS.

Else this thread would be obsolete:

There are indeed no DCS keys with deep dish. They only have _.

Oh, ok.

7bit, Djuzuh: can i get a dummy kit from Djuzuh?

DT keeps logging me out when I try to post! This is my 8th attempt.

Just tell Djuzuh what you want or ask him for his account details, so you can post yourself ...

The question is could you please then put it in the shippement of whoever gets the key instead of me?

Did this GB actually start on october 23, 2011?

yepp, at 23:06.

and I think there was a interest check before that..

And I registered two days after the ordering deadline (which wasn't the actual dealine for a while ), hoping that I could still join in on it
Seems like I made it!

Me too, I had just found out what a group buy was, then read on geekhack that one was ending "today" or something. Very lucky. The next one, I'll try to participate without getting so anxious... Just forget about it...

Anyone with a RETRO/STDSYM willing to part with this key for a price if it is not put to use?

Does adding a new post to the dummy thread to alter the choice move me to the bottom of the priority list?
Or does it only affect the new keys I'm adding?

No, I got from top to bottom, so when you want to add something just post at any time. You can also remove stuff from your list.

You have got 64.75 keys left, BTW.

I wonder... how different is the SPH gray from the ROUND3 gray?

If someone is willing to part with his SPH 1.5 mods, I'm your man

About 50 shades...

...and if anybody is willing to part with his R3 orange arrows (4 keys), orange esc (or other weird legend key to be used as esc) and F5-F8,
here I am

So 7bit only ships in a week, when Dummy finishes?

I shipped some of the packages without missing keys already.

When someone made his choice I can pack and ship. All other orders with Dummy stuff must wait until I added the rest of the keys.

Not sure if I understand what is going on. Are all packages waiting until people have picked dummy keys before they will be sent out?

I already started shipping last Friday and did continue shipping yesterday. Today comes another buch of packages.

Dummy kit orders: I wait indeed until Friday and then fill everybody's order up with random stuff.
I pack the complete dummy kits into the orders and ship.

Some orders require replacements from SP, so I will ship only if:
- it is a huge packages (more than 1000 keys)
- I have to send more than one pakcage anyway, in which case I will ship part of the order ahead
- there is a CherryMX preorder with which I can ship the replacements

Ok, got it. Thanx for explaining
