I think the real key is coming up with a good name...

Posted: **05 Feb 2016, 16:22**

The lack of yellow in the winning options is disturbing!

Posted: **06 Feb 2016, 00:30**

I say Creme & beige, you say yes.
That simple.

Posted: **06 Feb 2016, 00:50**

Creme & beige is an inadvertant alias for Strawberries & Cream (i.e., they are the same exact colorway and shouldn't be separate vote items).

The Epson keycaps look good because of the neat font, I think.

Maybe we need a render photo of the spherical version *glancingatzslane*

Why do you always use all-caps modifiers?

My favourite is still Round 1 with its simple "Shift" / "Control" / "Backspace" text.

I'm not looking for new keysets ATM though, just a general remark.

Posted: **06 Feb 2016, 02:16**

None of them.

Something with style and class inspired to Gerry Anderson's "UFO" or "Space:1999". To remember the "good old days"...

Yeah, this poll is bullshit. Where are all the choices? Talk about dictatorship…

Posted: **06 Feb 2016, 02:32**

We need something NEW & AWESOME!!!

Round 5 Honeywell is still the hotness..

So, if one were to reverse the Codemaster alphas/mods, you would get something very similar to Strawberries/Cream/Beige. Since 7bit wants to limit the number of colorways in this round, it occurred to me that just one of the Codemaster colorways, if offered in normal and "reversed" sets, could cover a lot of the cream/beige ground all by itself.

It also occurred to me that if you used Dolch colors (GE and GX) as the "Microcassette" colorway, they could double as Dolch SA by offering alphas and mods in both colors:

Not seen any code included before, thanks, helped me understand KLE a bit better. I was wondering how you guys got some of the unique characters...

#2 seems like Dolch? obviously people will vote for it. off with you

I really love that. It is a bit dark, but looks incredible with all of those colors in tandem.

Zslane could u Colour the Font Red?

Or Yellow?

Why are there no red delete keys? If any key should be red, it should be the delete key.

Agreed on the "a bit dark" thing. I've thrown some more light on them and updated the renders in the post above.

You do real APL programming? And in Dyalog APL? You're a glutton for punishment ...

This is more suited to MassDrop than 7bit, but it's still kinda fun:

uber cool, would deffo get my vote, we need more themed sets

Posted: **07 Feb 2016, 19:51**

In addition to voting for my Codemaster colorways, I also I voted for "Microcassette", but my vote there is conditional upon the use of GE/GX as the main colors (with WFK as the legend color) and offering full mods and alphas in both.

Posted: **07 Feb 2016, 20:04**

Zslane, I strongly recommend you run a virtual group buy.

People pm you their dream layout on their dream keyboard and when you received their payment, you deliver rendings so they can post them in the photo section and pretend that they just received their key caps from your group buy.

Posted: **07 Feb 2016, 20:51**

Now that's a hell of a good idea! Do you do Beamspring, Zslane?

Posted: **07 Feb 2016, 20:59**

I don't have 3D models for beamspring keycaps. Hell, I don't even have accurate models for SA keycaps!

Posted: **07 Feb 2016, 21:10**

Matteo has done 3D scans of Beamspring caps. He's the man who can help. They're easily the most vintage looking of all sphericals!
