I have received my NOIR set and installed it. They look and feel good.

One thing I did notice when installing them is that the (Filco) stabilizer stems don't fit very snugly and tend to slide out. I might glue them into place or something.

No regrets, would buy again.

Just be very afraid if you're the 257th order or more. Buffer overflow.

Buffer overflow is at 128 for 7bit, so 232 is out of luck.

Oops, I stand corrected. *spanks himself*

don't glue. use a small piece of scotch tape. much less permanent.

Yeah, it's a well-known problem with Signature Plastics keycaps. Personally, I find a small piece of stiff paper works quite well. Definitely don't glue! :O

Plumber's tape is also a good choice.

I use toilet paper.

btw how are these being shipped? is there tracking info?

Where is #0236?

Need moar pics.

The Filco stabilisers are wrong and you should use some little piece of a plastic bag to make them fit better.

I don't use 7bit int but 7bit char!


So, as long nobody has an invoice number like 0x04ä9, there is no problem!

We are talking about key cap stabilisers.

However, I understand that scotch tape or plumber's tape would be an efficient alternative method to clean the ...

Thanks for the tips!

Hi !

I just received my 3 NOIR/BEPO kits, thank you for your work. They look great, but I have a BIG problem : NONE of them is complete ! They all lack the "W" keycap ! Instead of it I have 5 "E" keycaps.

What do I do now, with these 3 incomplete kits ? Could you please solve this major issue, 7bit, please ?

Thank you in advance

Uh-oh.

Thank you in advance

If you only have 5x E then there is one missing, as there should be 3 with and 3 without nub.
W abd S where not part of the BEPO kit because these are add-on kits like (FR etc.) to the STANDARD or TEBKLESS, or TKL kits.

However, at an earlier stage of the group buy it was possible to order things like
NOIR/ALPHABEPO

Actually, there was one order for NOIR/ALPHANEO so you could have gotten what you wanted originally. Nevertheless, I will ship 2xS and 2xW so your fingers don't get hurt by the bare switch when you type these letters.

Hey 7bit, what method did you use to ship these to the US? I forgot to update my address so if it's not regular post (which should get forwarded), I'd have to run to my old place to check there.

Ok, thank you for taking care of my fingers ! They are looking forward to receive these 4 caps. My spare keyboard will have to wait until I find a solution for the 2 others.

I will check later how many E I received.

edit : number of "E" is ok. Just have one strange "Ç" keycap, non-BEPO, with a "}" sign below it. But I can live with it.

It is the regular post.

Here is the address I used:

hint:
W is not needed for FR-kit users.

So, you only need to find S.

Maybe some NEO user has an S too many ...

ps: I don'e remember who wanted that Ç } cap, but it is part of the kit.

You seem to have skipped my order #0264, is that intentional or do i need to do something?

I wait for replecement keys.

BTW, the Ç { key belongs to the ES kit.

I've got to take a look into that.....

I was busy.

Yes but I do not have a FR-kit...
Ok, I understand : you mean that I should contact a FR-kit + TKL-kit buyer and ask him if he would accept to give/sell me one of his W keycap, am I wrong ?

That would be great. But from what I see on the wiki the S is not included in the NEO kit, is it ?

Is there a way to find out who ordered NOIR/NEO and NOIR/FR + NOIR/TKL ?

Ok. I can send it back if you find my missing Ç somewhere

By the way, for my information, why was the BEPO kit (and the other langage kits) finally not complete ? Was it done to cut the prices down ?

You put your hand into a plasticbag and then you clean your ...

Order 722 updated with shipping address. Please send with next batch
