We don't lick stamps these days! However, you may fill the machine with new blanko stickers from time to time ...

I was just curious if you managed to make "keyboards" your day work, or in reality you are a coal miner with a strong passion for keyboards :)

Stick to one color scheme and just add a few extras, like dirge and the squirrel says.

The funny thing is that I like the idea with numbers on shift, because I have a numpad and also use it. But I can't make the change anymore. I've tried it. Maybe I should try for a longer period even it is a pain for weeks ...

Spent the morning reviewing the layout, please have a look at it.

I've added a couple of missing keys, reviewed the kit 8, normalized legends... I hope everything's fine, but I'll review it once more this evening.

Do we need Hyper (or other keys) in other fragrances?

RELEASE THE SQUIRREL!

as I said, let's see how much the kit 8 is going to cost. I'm more than happy to add any key to the kit.

Add those 4 and a lot of UKers will buy it.

Nothing more is needed, except if you want to call it:

Doubleshot replacement key caps for Cherry MX - Round FIVE
:shock:

We could always give up and buy £10 rubber domes.

Something like kit1+kit4+kit5 will be expensive
and all the remaining caps don't mix & match with anything else
but this is the way it is a really peculiar set
(£10 rubber dome is way expensive, you can get one for €5)

Kits I still want:
ALPHA (A-Z, 1-0-=[];',./)
MODIFIER100 (all modifiers in 1 unit)
MODIFIER150 (all modifiers in 1.5 units)
NUMPAD (all the numpad stuff)
BLANK100 (1 unit)
BLANK150 (1.5 units)
BLANK200P (2 units to fit on top of 2 switches)

The kits would not contain new keys, just better packed. :-)

Here is what a POS-key looks like from below:

Please don't read my latest picture as a list of keys you should remove!!!

It is just what I don't need for the HyperMini or some other keyboards.

Shouldn't the rows of the legends be the other way around e.g. 2 below "?
