They look great! Glad I got them.
BTW, I still need a beige/light keyboard... any suggestions?
(Plastidip didn't work that well for me, only lasting a couple days before edges started to peel off...)

Oh, thats gigantic! I forgot to mention some constraints: Mx browns, and TKL (Otherwise I won't have SPH enough!)
Actually the gray is quite dark, maybe I should try to plastidip a leopold again, w gray

The closest I've found is Filco's a beige tenkeyless keyboard, but unfortunately with red switches only.
I wonder if it is possible to buy two: one with blue (or brown) switches in black, and one with red switches in beige, and then to open them up and switch the plastic casings around to get one back with red switches and one beige with blue (brown) switches?
Anyone with experience from that? I guess the real question is if the Filco keyboards can be easily opened up and disassembled without special tools.

It's super easy. You just need a phillip's head screwdriver and a butter knife. You will void your warranty though.

I think its easy - I had to open my Cm quickfire to solder the pcb several times.. The credit-card technique works (credit cards as pry bars to avoid scratching).
the filco must be similar.

Would the space bar be a problem on a white(ish) Leopold?

SPH looks VERY nice! Wish I had gotten them. Instead I got Noir and Retro... what was I thinking way back then?!

Wish I had gotten on the spherical bandwagon in time for this GB. Ah well, hopefully someone somewhere will resell. (Any Terminal spherical sets for sell, let me know!)

So, was she a member of this forum, and did she die from the shock when you said that?
and if she was a member of the forums, are there a new slot open on the R4 GB?

What affects the time for producing keycaps more? Deciding the caps, producing them?... They do a whole car design in a year

Indeed!
It took only 9 months from the first drawing to the first rollout of the Posche 956.
But please keep in mind that they had alrady the engine, gearbox and all plastic caps for the switches on the dashboard ready!

Payment/"shipping" update
Post-post-Closing/Leftovers/??? payment from aggiejy (2013-04-09,yy-mm-dd) has been received and marked as shipped for PP (although we all know that we are looking at SP finishing the production mid February 2013 (read: never), then caps being shipped for sorting, then shipped to their final destination, i.e. you). That is to avoid PP account lock ups, that they like to do. Invoices may or may not reflect the change, but they will. Please keep in mind I only account for payments made to me via paypal.
Note: Addresses on the Paypal invoices are not the addresses 7bit uses to ship your keycaps to. He uses whatever address that is listed on your invoice.

You should do another GB with your retro color scheme with these sphericals.

I completely agree. Let's do a vintage-themed (or even better, Lisp keyboard-themed) SA GB. In that case, I'm definitely getting one set of each.

That CCnB is a render, that set doesn't exist. Sherryton was planning to get it made at one point, but that fell by the wayside.
