Following in the grand tradition of Round 4 (remember that? I was but a newb when I saw those pics show up) here's 7bit's magnificent followup: Round 5 in all its flaunty glory! Feel free to post your own shots in the thread, once yours arrives.So, first up, here's the basic HONEY colourway on a NovaTouch, compared to the original Honeywell terminal keyboard this GB was designed against.Pretty close. The GPA grey we're using is a little darker than the Honeywell original, but just as warm. I don't think this does any harm. It's a subtle difference, and even I'm not putting these caps on the Honeywell! Ours contrasts just as well with both white and black. Useful for all the Round 5 mixes ahead.The original Honeywell caps are super shiny on the sides. Ours are a little more matte. But still plenty reflective in the grand scheme of things, as you'll see in later shots.I really like how the ISO Return pops in red! Unlike Round 4 SPH, these chunky fellas are true doubleshot in Round 5. No engraving here!There's nothing quite like a desk full of caps! Especially when they're brand new tall sphericals, aw yeah! Accept no substitute. The sheer spherical sheen of these white alphas is just too juicy. These guys are epic.I like using NovaTouches to pose caps. The one at the top wearing a set of Cherry doubleshots sent to me by DanielT. They're incomplete, so I threw some black Round 5s its way. Not quite the same, low, Cherry profile of course!Ah well. Let's try something else…That's more like it. Granite! And I'm not talking DSA. This is IBM style!Note the fixed rows and all new 2.25u caps. At last! All we're missing now is row 4 SHIF Ts. (Also SHIFT keys!) Naturally I got the blue REPAIR kit for my Round 4 SPH set. I'll post pics of that on something soon enough.Classics, both.Guess which one I'm typing on tonight?So, there you have it. The Cappening is upon us. Share your shots, and raise a glass for the man that made it happen: 7bit! And if you're wondering where to get them: go ask in the thread . It's complicated Best. Caps. Yet.
