Looks really good! Might jump on this.

One niggle though - the 40s/Ortho kits are missing R3 Del (for Preonic) while they do include other Preonic caps (R4 Backspace, R3 Tab).

Any chance this could still be fixed?

Oh god the layouts I looked at apparently did not have R3 Del. It's so hard with sub60 boards bc people do different layouts and it's so hard to know what's standard xD Let me talk to Upas about it thanks for pointing it out!

I just gotta say, I really, REALLY love how you've broken up the sets. I have a bunch of different KBs: some 60s, some 40s, some ortho some not but don't ever need a numpad. I just love that I can really pick and choose and not get a gazillion keys I don't need.

60s icons, 40/Ortho icons, Alphas, and Colevrak (THANK YOU for that last one especially) are about to be bought.

Post by: atomicus on Fri, 01 November 2019, 17:37:11
Am I right in saying that for a 65% UK ISO board, I just need the Eternal Alphas, Eternal 60 (Text OR Icon), and the Eternal UK? Just those three?

Great looking set. :D

I just responded to you on reddit but - I talked to some ergo users and apparently y'all are a wild bunch and don't have a set amount of legends you use in exact places. Since it was a later add on I didn't want to mess it up with having a half assed kit so I will do more research on that for my next set :)

Hope you don't take offense to my signature link. Felt the need to showcase the sweet renders.

Looking forward to the Primecaps collab, but Artkey might turn out something sweet too here.

Ordered alphas, TKL text, and numpad.

Can I confirm that those will cover normal fullsize keyboard, as well as generic 75%, 65% and DZ60RGB hotswap layout?

Also, I'm in a different timezone, so hopefully I'm still eligible for the first day giveaway (although usually I am not lucky enough to win such, LOL)

Yes those kits will cover all of the keyboards you mentioned, given that you have no wild layouts going on haha

And the giveaway will be the first day of any given vendor, ie: zFrontier's time zone started a lot earlier since they were the first to open and MKEU started a little later since they didn't open until the "day after" for their zone. :)

Yeah DZ60RGB hotswap is basically 60% layout with 1.75 shift and arrow keys.

Thanks for the explanation on each vendor's timezone. There goes my luck.

Anw I never thought to get such set. I mean, I don't even play LOL, but I somehow like the colors & PBT. KAT is a new profile for me, so let's see how it goes.

Love the set, and I've already bought most of it, but was just wondering why you went with Colemak over Dvorak? I've bought the Colemak kit, as I was planning on learning it regardless, but I thought Dvorak was the more popular of the two? Anyways, absolutely love the set, and I can't wait for it to arrive! Also psyched of some of the artisan collabs.  :thumb: :cool: ;D

Numbers Update

We've hit 45k units out of 54k MOQ so almost there!
The minimum MOQ is 24k units, so the set can be made no matter what, but we have priced at the second tier at 54k which is why I have stated the 54k goal.

Some more info about KAT MOQ for those not familiar:

KAT MOQ has 3 tiers, 24k (minimum), 54k, and 120k total units. I just learned this last night but a unit = keycap unit NOT a singular keycap, so 2u keycaps count for 2 units.

The way the kit MOQ works is "suggested numbers" to hit the number of required units. I will be providing some numbers to amazing community member dvorcal so he can make some pretty graphs at the end of the week :) But those kit numbers do not necessary have to be hit for those kits to be made.

Does that mean if ISO-FR doesn't hit 10 (it would be sad ...) it would still be produced if we hit 54k globally ?

Does the 60s/TKL Mods support TGR Alice layout (the split spacebars)?

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Kinda.

If the left half of your alice has a 2.25u space and 1u mod, then the only thing you'll be missing is a second B, which you can fill out with another R1 key (up arrow, end, page down).

If you have a 2u space and 1.25u mod, then you'll need to use the 2u shift key which will be the wrong colour for the row.

Is it just me or does KAT profile look a bit like squashed marshmallows?
I keep seeing the keys as little marshmallows that have been gently squished vertically so that they bulge slightly at the edges.

It's building the excitement for me for whatever reason.. I just want to feel the little squashy pillows. Any chance of a marshmallow material instead of PBT? Not sure if it works with dye sub.

Funny thing the key surface is matte and smooth, like a marshmallow too. You'll like them.

If you won the giveaway it would be an invoice for just the shipping. I think it's between $8 and $15 depending on location. If you entered for the raffle then the invoice should be for $75 + the shipping. If you won and don't want to or can't pay, let me know. I'll take the invoice off your hands  ;)

I decided to buy extra kit rather than nightcap. So I think I should transfer my invoice to someone who want to buy it, but I have no idea how  :)

Is there anyone who didn't win ?

Actually, everyone who entered received a cap :)

I was just lucky that Nightcaps liked the colorway enough to make 2 different cws! If you notice there's 2 variations (teal eyes vs dark eyes) and I think every active sculpt is being used? Which is why we ended up with so many caps :)

You can just not pay your invoice and Nightcaps will keep the cap :)

Small Update

Order has been placed to Keyreative (as of last week).

New expected shipment month is May 2020 (still within projected Q2 ship, but I had originally put April). Turns out production is slated to finish in mid April now (I'm assuming due to order quantity and CNY).

Here is the result of my perfect 100iq photoshop skills: https://images2.imgbox.com/8a/9e/uJZVldhP_o.png

They do look slightly off, but that might be due to the lighting, as you said, or the possibility that the sample pics were taken from an iPhone, rather than the far superior cameras from phones using the far superior mobile platform, Android™ by Google LLC.

it is a little off! they also look a bit more blue in these photos and I think it's due to the contrast with the yellow...
I am asking for modifications, as indicated by the text in the first photo :)

in my Discord I posted photos in LED lighting (v **** quality) and they look a lot more pale, yay colors!
gonna try to find different colored BGs to use as a reference to get a range of photo references

Hey guys, we have an update on KAT Eternal production:

Due to coronavirus production delays (1 - 1.5 month delay), we are projecting that completion will be pushed back a month to June. Production for the base colors have already started. New molds need to be made for new key sizes and dyesub process still needs to be completed.

I believe most vendors will have extras to sell (which is pretty common for keyset group buys). I know Canon Keys has confirmed that they will have extras. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets a second run, too. Though that wouldn’t be for a while.

Milkshake delivered and had some issues. Mine were fine :) but some sets had alignment issues.
As Eternal is slated to ship in June (nowish), one would assume the manufacturing has completed.
Anyone know if the vendors have these in hand and have done any quality checks?

CannonKeys sent an update early this week-
"KAT Eternal was set to ship from Keyreative this month, but it seems likely that it won't happen, given there's only about a week left in June. We haven't received an updated timeframe from them yet, but hope to get one soon. If we had to guess, I'd suspect August is when it will ship to customers from CannonKeys. When we know with more certainty, we will update our Group Buy Status page."

Post by: Joaquox on Thu, 25 June 2020, 08:29:28
I really don't understand why I'm expected to follow CannonKeys when I ordered from Mykeyboard - like probably most of the european customers.
Is it really too much to ask for an update in the GB thread every month or so? I mean, even if it's jsut saying "we have been ghosted by the factory" it's at least an effort.

Being a League player (but not a Kindred player  :))  ) I should've copped this.

Minterly did such a good job capturing all things Kindred, this makes me want to do a set for another champion out of the pool.



Great work Minterly, I will be looking for extras  :thumb:

Update

Production has started for this. New estimated production completion is JULY which means shipping probably won't happen until AUGUST.

Here's some proof of life:

Looking at the second picture that was just posted, those don't look double-shot.

Excited to receive my set, hope extra care will be taken with the QC to make sure there aren't any major issues. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first reverse-dyesub KAT set to be produced, so there's a lot riding on the results.

Update

Keyreative is still packing and shipping is being arranged with vendors. Alex or zFrontier thinks the set looks nice and this photo is a phone photo provided by him.

The stepped Capslock issue is also resolved:
The Stepped Capslock from Milkshake had some tooling issue, the stem is a bit misplaced and thus making it shifted a bit into the A key. People would find that the left edge of the caps is not flush to the rest and in some extreme cases it may cause the Stepped Caps to brush against the A key. This is fixed now!

I saw that the spacebars are out of spec and don't return on gmk stabs in a discord server. Does that apply to all 6.25u spacebars and they all will have to be remade?
Title: Re: [GB] KAT Eternal | Production almost complete!
Post by: Ailment on Mon, 31 August 2020, 10:01:22
Cannon keys update was not specific on the issue but did say there was a delay because of space bars having an issue.  It says that they are remaking them so it will be a couple more weeks of delay.  Assume that means the standard size is problematic or they would be shipping those and just holding the kits with an issue back.
Title: Re: [GB] KAT Eternal | Shipping to vendors!
Post by: Minterly on Mon, 31 August 2020, 23:40:52
I realized I never updated here... my bad! Thought I had.

Shipment to vendors has already left China. However, some Chinese customers have already received their sets and have raised complaints about the spacebars experiencing too much shrinkage. Keyreative will be remaking the spacebars! This will cause a few more weeks delay as the vendors will have to receive both shipments before shipping out orders.

Here's a zFrontier post explaining further... in Chinese: https://www.zfrontier.com/app/flow/enl79qGwnMxG
TLDR: some of the spacebars are warped and the reverse dyesub process on the spacebar keys are not up to standard. also some people are unhappy with the gradient. there's also some smaller issues regarding discoloration/gradient on the sides of the larger keys (weird, because my kitty kat samples were completely fine), customers unhappy with the texture of the complete cap, flow marks, etc.

Post by: Ailment on Thu, 03 September 2020, 11:43:08
Was hoping the KAT issues were fleshed out enough before this set was made but such is the way of caps.  Hope it’s just the space bars and no so much the other stuff (color etc.)

Actually, the color is off in that render but it should be that row and in the same color as the other keys in the row. It's meant for people to use one mods kit with 2 alphas kits and cover 2 boards that way. If you're missing a key I suggest to request a replacement from your vendor!

Just wanted to include a reminder for those receiving your caps.

If you ordered 60 - TKL you should be receiving 5 extra caps:
- extra tab
- 6.25u spacebars in both colors
- 7u spacebars in both colors

If you ordered 40s/Ortho you should be receiving 1 extra cap:
- 1u shift
edit: - also 6.25u spacebars in both colors

If you ordered a numpad, you should be 1 extra cap:
- "Pause" style key in R5 (lightest color)

Just got my set and the gradient isn't what I expected, to be honest. I remembered it being more of a purplish gray instead of a grayish purple.

The keys themselves look, feel, and sound great! This is my first KAT profile key set and I am a fan already.

In any case, it's only been an hour or so between installing the key set and doing stuff around the house and the colors have already grown on me. The mat matches excellently, too! Consider me a happy customer.

I just finished mounting mine. I really like the colors and I think the legends look great!
I'm wondering about the matte finish though. It seems... inconsistent? It's almost like the caps were washed in soapy water and then not rinsed. To make up a word, they're 'smeary'. (legends perfectly clear though) Is this the nature of the KAT matte finish?
This isn't a show stopper, but I'm wondering if everyone's sets came out the same way.

Just checked my set, it looks like they ended up using "Delete" instead of "Backspace" for R3, maybe because of the limited space. The renders for the GB showed "Backspace" though, so a heads-up would have been nice.

Yeah I just tried putting my set on, and the spacebars (both colours, 7u) do not return at all. They are very stiff and just stay depressed. They are also very difficult to get onto both sides of the stabilisers, unlike my GMK spacebar.

I suspected the post position was incorrect because I've been using a GMK set with no issues. I took both spacebars off and measured the post spacing.
From the inside of the cross between middle post and either side post, on GMK peaches and cream it is 56mm on both.

For both sides on KAT eternal it's 55mm. Exactly a mm shorter, so the outside posts are closer to the center by 1mm each side. Is this not an issue for anyone else? None of my spacebars work because of this..

EDIT: These are the original (bad) spacebars I think. I only have one set and most likely have not been shipped the correct replacement ones.

I tried mounting my 7u's. The original spacebars wouldn't even mount properly for me. The replacement ones mounted, but there was some noticeable sluggishness. The alpha-colored bar bound sometimes and returned pretty slowly. The accent bar was better, but still didn't feel right. I compared it with another KAT spacebar from my KAT blanks set, and it was a very noticeable difference.

To add insult to injury, the stabilizer wire popped out while I was trying to mount the original bars. Fixing that was fun.

Same issue with me. The spacebars don't return. According to ZF these were the replacement ones (received only 1 set of spacebars that were boxed when i picked up from their extra sale). Not sure if these were the older faulty ones.

This matches the kit image (below) and is thus not a manufacturer error. As such, I doubt Keyreative will be willing to provide replacements (though I hope I'm wrong).

I don't think that it is my role to review kit when group buy are handled by professional like mykeyboard.eu which already sold tons of ISO-FR in the past. ISO-FR is a European standard.

I paid almost 200 euros for a set with a mistake. If the factory cannot assume it then the seller should. I hope that mykeyboard.eu will do something about it or at least offer a full refund.

I believe i should have gotten the replacement set (received only 1 set) since they can be mounted but having issues with the spacebars not returning. Currently the teal 7u one kinda works (tho still sluggish).

Love this set but a little disappointed with the spacebar issues.

mykeyboard.eu servers as the vendor and proxy. They don't design the kits. The kit was designed and placed in IC for a long time.

GB's are not like buying a product in a store off the shelf unfortunately. Errors are frequently made by kit designers and it's up to the community members to catch them. When I go to an IC I look exactly which keys I want and if they're in the kit.

I agree with you that this is not ideal, and maybe there's goodwill and a possibility to get a replacement, but I wouldn't make the assumption.

So sad I missed the GB back when it was live, only got the deskpad :/
But if somebody doesn't like the keycaps (especially the Alphas, TKL Icons and novelties) please let me know.  :thumb:


(edit) oh... I just read that buying and stuff from other places isnt allowed, my bad.

Sign up for the newsletters for all the websites that were selling it, or check those websites often, and you might be able to snag an extra.. It'll be A LOT cheaper then trying to buy it off someone.

I got in contact with zfrontier on Jan. 12 and haven't heard back from them yet after they stated they had reached out to keyreative. I even did a follow up with zfrontier on Jan. 23 and still no response. I get the situation, but it still sucks and has made me reconsider purchasing any keycaps from them in the future.

Reached out to Cannon Keys today, waiting on a response. I checked in once in December; they haven't updated me since then.

Unfortunately since KAT is relatively new, it seems like there aren't many manufacturers making them at the moment.

I feel the same way you do about Keyreative. Sucks. Gonna pay a lot more attention now to vendors and manufacturers going forward.

I did that yea, but I don't think they'll have any extras atleast not that I've seen so far, that is why I asked here, but I made the mistake to ask/buy here which isn't allowed and I saw it a bit too late.
And I know it would be a lot cheaper to get it from mykb.eu or somewhere else, but as I said, I don't think they'll have extras anymore

I think that there is still a round of communication between the runner of the GB and the manufacturer regarding customer reported quality issues. I suspect that extras won't happen until after that is resolved.

Still hoping to get my hands on this one day. MyKeyboard.EU emailed me today to say they will deliver my order if I buy something else from their store.... Just as soon as my package is no longer held for ransom, maybe I can enjoy this almost two years later. Not having a great experience with my first group buy so far.

If you want, I can proxy it to you? I'm in Sweden, you can check postnord.se what the shipping would be.
