While I myself am not particularly excited about spacebar legends in general, the fact that this is being done, and being done well, is pretty cool.

Why would you want to do that?

This clearly illustrates how space bars are supposed to be :p

Purchase a defected one that had its text flipped.

Or you could send your keyboard to Australia.

All our keyboards are upside down here (so I've been told).

Yeah but then he'd have to eat Vegemite :vomit:

And what's wrong with Vegemite  ?

Nothing sir. It must be a taste that you have to be born into methinks.

It has an unnatural amount of protein with no fat or sugar. It looks like black Vaseline. And no matter how many Aussies I ask none of them can tell me exactly what "fermented yeast extract" is.

I couldn't stand Vegemite when I was younger, but now I prefer to spread it thick

I was the same way! I suspect most people are that way.  )

Cant wait for this looks tasty!

I'm in for the orange and black. Looks sweet!! 

[ideus]

The orange looks very similar to skidata. The two buys may clash, competing for some of the buyers. Even if they run on different dates, skidata may be offered next month, according with some recent comments by the OP.

This has been brought up before and has been addressed by both authors.

The reply #60 is particularly interesting, thank you for pointing that out, I was not aware of that discussion, and I do not want to create a new vortex here.

No worries... 

TL;DR - this is basically a better quality nostalgia set which bunny has already run. Skidata supports more layouts like iso etc.

It is a little tricky when there are similar sets running, but these are both GH colors, so hopefully that keeps people interested in at least one.

Yeah, hopefully, both sets will get their own share of interested fellows, as both have their own merits for it.

in JTK's round 1, we had the option of purchasing a modifer kit that was purple on white, to make the entire board have a uniform look.

Will that option be available again for these colorways?

Just an FYI. BunnyLake will be afk for at least a week, maybe two, so if you don't get a reply for a little while, you are not being ignored.

I believe Bunny answered yes to that question earlier in the thread.

yep, he did say that in the middle of a post on page 2 when replying about JTK/Ski data questions:

now what may make this situation slightly worse, is much like the last jtk gb, we will also be offering reverse mods, so you can have a full orange and black set

The CS:GO is perfect for next year's Halloween scheme.  My body is ready!

My wallet isn't ready.

[FoC_Tow]

In for one or two sets aswell!

Maybe its just me, but a set of orange on white alphas in true asiimov fashion would be really awesome imo!

Also how about changing up one of the custom legends (like the anchor) to match the set themes more?
(f.e. aperture science or asiimov style logo for the orange on black xD)

I know its far fetched,  just my two cents...

Great work Bunny and JTK!

[gabba-gool]

I'm definitely in for a white and red set.

[petrock]

I'm looking forward to the red and black to go along with the red plate from LeandreN!

[ideus]

Any chance of a Classic Beige set?

I mean... the group buy is for the two sets you see

I meant in the future... obviously 

wait a week, i can get pretty close, not exactly, but in the ballpark

keep an eye on the store going live again

Does this mean a Beige set is in the works?

[gabba-gool]

I believe it's just red and white.

[QuickDelat]

I love the red and white set, are you planning on adding international support? (azerty?)

[Jedi]

All in all this has been one of the most informative threads.  I was beyond confused before but now I can't wait to see new sets get launched on the new website.  The site looks awesome and though I do more thread reading to keep up with the news (more than I actually post) I'm now all caught up and eager to see a JTK launch again.  The spacebars look awesome too BTW.  2016 looks like its gonna damage a lot of wallets.  Guess I'll just have to check into therapy here now.  Any idea which wing is open for patients?

I think it was basically confirmed earlier in the thread that the special edition retail-only set that JTK did for CTRL ALT is going to be Beige. Bunny seemed to think it should be up about the same time the new store goes up, so it should be up soon.

[ezpeze]

Noob here. 

Is there a mechanism where one will be notified when this GB starts?

[jaffers]

Although I wouldn't buy the set because I don't like the aesthetic I love those spacebars. Maybe in a future drop consider a multitude of different designs, like an artisan type thing, I'd jump on that

There will be a link posted to the GB here when it starts so just keep an eye on the thread

Let's hope this does not succumb to the sophomore slump.

[ccc24]

will the topre to mx sliders be included in the buy as well?

[Glenmael]

I second this as an option, would love to get some of these awesome sliders.

This is the biggest thing I'm after. Especially after picking up the Carbon Black set from Originative to (somewhat) match my HHKB's current keys...but I also totally don't have an alert set up on changedetection.org...

When does the special third set hit the store, Daddy Bunn?

Some time in the next like two-ish weeks is what Bunny said.

I'm probably gonna **** my pants when I see JTK Classic Beige

Is it confirmed CB?  The last thing I remember seeing was that it was "in the ballpark".  Could mean something like Olivetti, Granite, or Wyse. Maybe IBM Model M? (close to CB, but a little different)  Any of those would be cool in my book.
