We are releasing 4 new items with one being delayed.  The 4 items are of the same quality and material but offers different colors: Oceanic Blue, Royal Purple, and Apple Green.

Cherry Blossom Pink will be delayed until we can get a more vibrant color.

The selected items will be in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th row.



Items will be shipped between December 16, 2013 to January 2, 2014.

They look Tai Hao to me by shape and font.  Very cool.
P.S.: if they are Tai Hao, definitely need to make sure that they make a proper-stemmed 7x spacebar, as their current one has some strange Alps/MX stem arrangement  that doesn't work for MX.
P.P.S.: Are side-stemmed Caps Lock caps going to be available / come with the base set?

Looks like the other "project " TH was talking about was yours ;).

Colours look good. Looks like I won't need to make another GB.

You are right about the 7x space bar.  They are fixing it.  The Caps Lock is not available at this time.  The extra 2 keys are 1x keys.

Oh another thing just came to me: what about white sets with black or gray lettering?  Probably gray to maintain the softness. To mix with various colorful modifiers.  Not a big deal, just wondering!

You might need to get the pink to look like a neon pink our hot pink to make the colors pop.

Sherry will the sets come with 6.25 space bar? seems that the Tsangan kit don't matter much because there is no off center stepped nor full touch off center Caps Lock, also the space bar stabilizers stems are not in proper place. That leaves custom and Cherry boards out of business, question is will the sets have the 6.25 space bar on arrival?

He said they'd be working on proper stem placement for the 7x spacebars, and I know Tai Hao's working on proper 6.25x spacebars for Elton's group buy.  So both should be fine.  The tsangan kit is relevant for WKL keyboards.

Its is, I have board with cheat layout but without the off center capslock all goes down the drain

Yeah, well... could always look for one from a different OEM profile set.  These are cheap sets after all.  If you combine a couple of colors, it might not be too bad to have a different color caps lock.

Wonder if they'd do a (dark) blue on white set ...

Then we could mix it with the original white on blue and make our legendary CCnB (or what passes for it, anyway).
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Alixinhzai,

Pink will not be available at this time.  I do like the color a lot.  If there is enough pre orders, then I can try to squeeze in 3 more sets.

At this time, we are arranging our other 2 group buys.

While I haven't pre-ordered yet, I plan to next week.

I have a small suggestion about the pink ... I think the pink pictured is fine, if you used, say, purple for the legends. Yes the purple that is a choice for a main color. I'd get a third set if that were available (planning on purple & green, currently).

So they are only $18 for the complete set? Such a bargain...

I agree on the pictured pink, it's awesome. More of a "peachy" color to me though.

That said, sherry, is PayPal being offered or no?
