So, is this a group buy on its own or a part of R4 presented in a clean way? Will they be produced together with R4 or maybe earlier? I think I know the answer already...

This is still Round 4, so you don't need to re-submit anything. Just want to advertise the volume kits, to get more orders.
I will set up similar threads for SPH and a bit later for ROUND3 and NOIR.

So they are actually white with baby-blue lettering and invisible colored spacebars? I was under the impression that those pics in the OP were just to show layout of the sets? Nvm then, im still a bit new to this thing and i was kinda hoping it would be something like this;

That's the ROUND3 style, which should also be available.

From the wiki:
http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round4_Pricelist
Try sending this to 7bit_R4:
Code: Select all
ROUND3/ALPHA
ROUND3/SPACEOLD/GREY
<your_email_address>
The ROUND3/ALPHA is described as "! A-Z and Punctuation keys" with 53 keys total and current price is $29 .
The ROUND3/SPACEOLD/GREY is described as "7 units Cherry no Windows" and current price is $4.
I assume this is to go on this keyboard:
So, if you want, you could add on some matching ROUND3-style 1-unit modifiers, too.
The ROUND3/MODIFIER100 is described as "Modifier kit (1 unit)" with 25 keys and current price is $15.
There appear to be gamer kits available as well, check the wiki for those codes.

Oh man, i really wish i understood all these code things you guys throw at me

But yeah, the caps are for that little beast indeed!
Im gonna read up a bit on how these group-buys of yours actually work cuz to me it kinda feels like someone handing you this without any previous knowledge;

And then continuously shouting
MAKE IT WORK MAKE IT WORK in you ears......

Sorry for the confusion. I'm a programmer. To me, any time someone wraps some text in <> it means "replace this with what is being described, and that includes the <>"
So,
would become
That's the appropriate way to submit it.
