Is the cadet grey the same color as GREY or SPH?

The Cadet is SPH.

All the R3U200 blanks can be used as spacebars. SP does not have molds for 2u convex spherical keys

Also in the descriptors (e.g. NN/WFK black on white) the NN/WFK part are the Signature Plastic color codes. NN is a shade of black and WFK a shade of white. There are scans of them online

In fact, the photo shows 7bot's shipping facility.

The 2 people in the picture are from the post office.

It was simpler to move a post office into the shipping facility than the other way round.

But what about the current strike 7bit? Also, are you paying those people in keycaps? Honestly I would have expected your shipping facility to be a bit larger and a little less organised!

Hey 7bit, I'll be likely out of town from 18/7 to 1/8. Can I ask you to not ship my caps during that period. I'd hate to have the parcel sent back by my post office. My invoice is #0129. Thanks!

Just don't get it mixed up with #0219. You can send #0219 as soon as possible!

My keycaps survived the DHL Strike and arrived today

Great Work 7bit.

Thank you Evilcamels! I was contemplating a campaign to find a collector but you beat me to it

Right, so the workers were striking because of relocation. Now it all makes sense!

Is it possible to add the lotus symbol in the keyboard layout editor? Exist a symbol that I can just copy in the textfield of the keyboard layout editor? (http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com)

I'm not aware of one. And most of the fun unicode flowers aren't part of many fonts. Like: <redacted>

Actually, the forum software chokes on some of the extended unicode set it seems. Trying to put U+1F33A in results in an SQL error.

@Yslen I thought you were selling the JD40, it looks SO good.

Correct, but not that one. That's CtrlAlt #005, and it's going nowhere

The one I'm selling is from the SmallFry buy. I've not actually got it yet, of course, due to the various difficulties with that particular project. In theory it'll be a JD40 kit with titanium plates, so I'm hoping someone will want to take it off my hands.

7bit you don't happen to have a spare HONEY/ERGOBASE/RED flying around somewhere do you?

Anyone else still waiting for caps from last batch in EU? I'm from Belgium waiting for almost 2 weeks

Posted: **06 Jul 2015, 14:53**

Was your order in the "shipped" list or in the "packed, ships real soon" list? Mine was in the "packed" list, and I don't think it has been shipped yet.

Posted: **06 Jul 2015, 15:33**

Can the bot handle partial payments? I ordered some leftovers, paid, ordered some more and paid the difference. First payment was 12 days ago and the bot still says I had to pay the full amount. (PAYEUR)

I also still waiting, but mine was probably sent just last week. The DHL strike in Germany is now finished but after 4 weeks strike it will take a while until everything is processed.

I'm a newb to Deskthority, and just attempted to place an order with the bot for a full custom set of Round 5a keys. I've done massdrop group buys and have a few sets from Signature Plastics, and two Winkleyless custom B.87's. However this is my first post here on this forum, which I discovered from /r/mechanicalkeyboards on the group buy wiki page.

Haven't heard back from the bot yet, fingers crossed that I did everything correctly.

Posted: **06 Jul 2015, 20:15**

Welcome! It is probably ok, it can take some time before 7bot run through the orders. And get use to waiting, these GBs take a long time to finish

The bot is probably waiting a command from its evil overlord, I would not worry it will work it all out and tell you balance I am sure

I just received a new invoice, but the bot forgot the first payment.

Posted: **07 Jul 2015, 18:09**

Here is my story:
5 days ago I received my invoice because I ordered some leftovers.
Today I wanted to pay my invoice.
At 16:34 o´clock I paid my invoice at the bank (27,68€).
At home I look in my E-mail inbox and see a new invoice, euro~dollar has changed, new invoice is 28,18€. (Email is from 13:06)-Fuck

what should I do?

Posted: **07 Jul 2015, 18:13**

1) be patient, the bot may run again

2) contact 7bit (not the collector)

3) be patient, hes a very busy overlord

I doubt it will go further then that.
