When adding kits, do I need to include email and address again? Or just the kit name? Thanks

Just the kit name and updated quantity.

Could anyone explain the row 2 cursors in the HONEY/CURSORS kit? I would understand row 4 bottom + row 2 up, but why row 2 bottom?

Use the following link to compose a message to 7bot:
http://deskthority.net/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=4754
Use the following order template as the text for your message, filling in your specific information:
HONEY/STANDARD
HONEY/SPACE625 2
HONEY/SPACE625/RED
HONEY/JRET/RED
HONEY/KBDRUNNER/RED 15
email@yourdomain.tld
ADDRESS
Walter Cherry
Cherrystr. 1
91275 Auerbach/OPf.
DE
It may also take a while as I don't believe 7bit runs the bot 24/7.

They are on my Tipro in exactly this way. Row 2 keys in the bottom row are easier to type with the thumb.

I had 0 orders and removed it along with Portuguese layout a few days ago.

Processing of the payments is separate to raising the invoices, your second payment probably hasn't been processed yet, I found it took a few days. If it's been a while it might be worth contacting 7bit.
Okay. I've just sent a message to 7bit.
Thanks for your help.

HONEY/BLACK/TKL is the same as the new Filco SPH, right? Looks like it.
Posted: 01 Dec 2013, 10:33
by 7bit
No it is not. They use row 3 for most of the keys and row 2 for Function and number row. Also, they glue their stabiliser inserts into the keys, so they are not useful on keyboard that do not have Filco stablisers.
There is one more thing: Their text placement is off-center.
In other words: Just forget about them!

It's a different colour, too. Filco's set is dark brown.

Ok. Forget. Erase! Ha ha!
Now... Honey Black TKL looks tempting. Is the price going lower? I'm really broke. Spent too much on keyboard related stuff.

by 7bit
Order more, so it will more likely get down.
I've got to wait for the price quote next week, to see how much cheaper these kits can be.

I don't want to order more without knowing the price as I don't want to give false hope, he he.. I'll wait till you have new quotes.

I'm looking at HONEY/FUNCTION/R1 to figure out what I am going to do with it, and finding myself wishing there was a CLOSE and SAVE AS to go with OPEN, SAVE, and RELOAD, a CUT, PASTE, and CLEAR to go with COPY, and a NEXT to go with PREV. I can't find R1 versions of those keys in any other set, unless I am missing something.
Also, in HONEY/FUNCTION/R2, I'd like to see BACK TAB.

What kind of keyboard are you using, that you need so many extra row 1 keys?
Posted: 01 Dec 2013, 11:38
by Floating.Point
Hey 7bit
Just a reminder that you mentioned you would include a row1 equals sign in the numeric kits. Is this still going to happen?

I am using two rows of function keys, and keeping the height (7 rows) consistent across all three modules, so there are three whole rows of row 1 keys. So I have room for 72 total, 42 on the main keyboard, 9 on the arrow and navigation cluster, and 21 on the number pad. I might even make the arrow and navigation cluster bigger, which would make for even more row 1 keys.

Show him one of your diagrams, then he'll see. And thanks for the smart idea of using numeric kit symbol keys across the number row, which I am doing too. Once 7bit gives us our row 1 + or =.

I'm using row 3 keys up there and wait for the extenders to be available one day, to lift them up a bit.

Impressive board, jpatters. There is a bit of duplication of GREEK and HYPER on the numpad. Maybe you could use FUNCTION2?

Which
mount is Round 5 going to use? If it's a recessed mount, maybe you could get yourself a set with a flush or protruding mount for that use. Depending on the keyboard it might look weird, but it would probably be cheaper than having moulds for a new row made. Then again, aftermarket extenders might be cheaper still.

HONEY/FUNCTION/R3 is $25 now?
