Hi guys, do you know you can arrange your physical layout as 80-key, instead of 76? the pcb allows it.
This eliminates those numpad+ keys in thumbs. Actually, you don't need 2x keys anymore.

P.S. handystack, thanks for the link, the tool is awesome.
Hey everyone,
We’re happy to report that all of the orders have been shipped out!
Thanks again for the support guys. Make sure to share your experience with the Clear Ergodox DCS Keycaps on Massdrop.
If there’s anything else we can do to make your Massdrop experience better, feel free to email us at support@massdrop.com.
Hey everyone!
Since we added Clear ErgoDox DCS Keycaps as an add-on for the main ErgoDox Mechanical Keyboard Kit drop, we actually have partially completed our minimum order with Signature Plastics. I've lowered the drop quantities for this to reflect this, so it will be a bit easier for the group to organize now!
Just got 'em finally and the keyboard looks awesome!
Warning: they come in one bag, be extra careful in sorting the keys as removing this cap is very hard and risks breaking the (x) pin of the switch! I broke one.
Prover Setup:
Row 2 becomes Row 4;
Row 4 moves to Row 2 but also flips orientation.
Sorry for the repost, but I really want to know this before I buy...
Are these all the same size? I'm hoping that they are, because I want to use it for a plover/steno keyboard. Meaning, with regular keycaps, they have R1, R2, R3, and R4 sizes. Which size are these most similar to? Or, are they all different sizes for each row?
jshuHi jshu. This link should get you up to speed.

In other words, these keycaps should be different sizes per row. Also, this set is tailored for the Ergodox, so I would be sure to make sure that the keycap sizes you are interested in will show up.
As a side note, this set will take a long time to arrive for you. The last drop (from May 29th) JUST shipped out. And if you are just using this for a steno keyboard, I doubt you need this many keys. It may be cheaper for you to go to signature plastics yourself and order them here:

jshuThey are not the same size, and this is actually better for a plover setup. See my other posts. Basically you swap row 4 and row 2 and flip orientation of one row so it's super easy to press two keys at once.
They put up pics of clear keycaps in the Ergodox GB and the clear keycaps there are true DCS. You should check them out. I am hestitating on getting these because these still have the old pic. (Although, I am 90% sure these are the same as the ones in Ergodox drop)
Figured I would share this with ya'll. I emailed support and this was the response:
"The production on these key caps is taking a little bit longer than anticipated! We are very sorry for the delay, we are still trying to get a better time line from the vendor. We will post an update when we get news!"
So continue waiting I shall...
Any updates? Late is fine, but a status would be great.
It's been 25 business days since the drop completed (May 31st). The description estimated around 20 business days.
