delighted to be able to finally open up this gb
i have been working closely with JT Keycaps for some time now, collaborating on this

$53 or $68 with mx compatible topre pom sliders
(http://i.imgur.com/8uELs19.png)
JT Keycaps is completely new, and these are the debut sets, as with anything new, it needs a starting point, we have put a huge amount of time in to testing these, but they will only get better over time, however please be aware, as this is the first large scale production run, there can be some slight errors, or things we may change at a later date, but every cap will have very strict quality control
here are some pictures of the actual caps offered in both sets

i will post a lot more pictures in this post shortly once i have time to get things set up here
additionally, the first order will get a [CTRL]ALT tshirt
the first 100 orders will also get one of these
(http://i.imgur.com/ZeadePP.jpg)
this gb will be open for 4 weeks from today, once the gb is complete, the turnaround time will be fairly short compared to a normal gb, approximately 3-4 weeks, for future buys, this time will get much shorter, however as this is the first one, itll have very strict QC and a bit of a learning curve that will be streamlined later
shipping will be
$7.50 US
$18 international
if you would like to make a large order, please contact me before ordering via the site
please keep this thread on topic, and if you have any queries please feel free to pm me
you can place your order here:
https://ctrlalt.io/buys/jtk-debut
payments are taken via stripe (debit or credit card)
if you are unable to pay via stripe, please place an order on the site, leave the order as unpaid, and either pm me or use the contact form on the site, giving me the order number and a paypal email (please note, if you pay via paypal, additional paypal fees will be added)

That's really interesting, is it known how these caps feel to type on in comparison to caps from GMK, or standard PBT keycaps?
im typing on them now, and to me they feel the same as gmk
we are using the same purple abs as gmk use, as well as thickness, so you should notice very little difference if anything at all

Has the colour for the pom sliders been announced? Useless curiosity, but curiosity none the less.
im waiting on the options, once i have them i can either make a note on peoples order as to a specific colour they want, or alternatively give people a random one if they dont pick

that is correct

If this has been discussed already, I have overlooked it, but is the "CA white" on the purple sets actually a sort of a cream off-white color? Looks like it judging by the photograph of the samples, but I want to make sure it's not just the lighting.
the pics are pretty accurate on my screen, but it hasnt been calibrated in a while, i certainly wouldnt say they are cream, but its a milky white

Wait, so the sliders are basically novatouch style sliders we need to mod in, or adapters for the stems I don't need to mod into my keyboard?
they are like novatouch sliders yes
although its doesnt take any modding to install them, you just pop the old ones out, and the new ones in

Second this. I'd gladly put in an order if they would be willing to sell the sliders separately. I'm not all that interested in the keyset tbh since it isn't the colors that I like on a board. But I would damn near be the first person to put in a order if you guys offered the sliders separately.
Also are there any pictures of the sliders themselves that you could post Bunny?

It's really exciting to have a new player in the keycap manufacturing field. I'm interested in learning more about JT Keycaps in general.
Where are they based?
Do they do this type of manufacturing (injection molding) for other industries?
How are they able to keep costs this low?

About the sliders, are there stabilizers included?
no
but topre boards only have stabs on the space bar
later down the roaqd we are looking in to making a 6 u spacebar with an mx stem but tope stab mounting points
as for selling the sliders separately, that was originally part of the plan for this buy, however, they are really only being made so people can enjoy these sets on topre boards as well as mx, so we wanted to give people in on this buy first shot at them, but a while down the road they will be available on their own
Post by: MarkRobbo on Tue, 05 May 2015, 12:13:43
I'm in for the sliders when you end up selling them separately
If anyone is buying this set in the UK, I'll pay for the sliders from it and shipping if you don't mind adding it to your order
Edit: had an offer to do this, awesome! :)

But these caps have stems where "stabilized" topre caps do not, correct? (I don't have a topre board in front of me right now) How would we handle this? This might be a bit naive, as it may be similar to what people have done with the Novatouch sliders, but I'd like to know what the recommended method here is. :thumb:

So what is JT Keycaps, anyway? This is the first set they've done, right? Where did they come from? These look like direct Cherry replicas, including the Cherry logo. Do they have the same equipment as GMK? Are the designs licensed? Do the profiles match Cherry exactly? Also, what is the significance of the anchor and star logos? So many questions.
I'm also curious about this.

jt keycaps is a friend of mine who ive been working with on this, he is based out of china and someone ive worked with on many things before, they are cherry replicas by way of profile, however the tooling is very different as you can see from the pics, there are other subtle differences, rather than a direct copy, over time both profile and font selection will grow
with regards particularly to the cherry comment, the goal is to make caps of a similar quality to gmk, but be able to be much more flexible with options (custom legends, colours etc) so not to replace what they do, as there is always a market for that, but to be able to merge the best parts of gmk/cherry, with some of the flexibility of something like sp
the anchor and star logos arent particularly significant, other than showing we are doing custom legends, we have to start somewhere, and those were what was chosen, as we continue with these buys, the options we have for keys and various legends will grow
starting up something like this takes a huge amount of time and money, so we cant necessarily launch with everything we want at one time, but as some of the initial costs are recouped, more can be invested to grow the sets and options

this is a keycap buy
we added the option of sliders, so if people wanted to, they could also use these on topre boards
ill do my best to answer any questions now, so i dont have to keep saying the same thing
these will be available on their own at a later date
i will have pics of them shortly
these are used in the same way novatouch ones are, they are aimed at hhkb or realforce users, who dont wanna buy a novatouch just for the stems
they will work for all keys other than the spacebar
we are working on a 6u topre spacebar with an mx stem but topre stab point, this isnt ready yet though so it isnt in THIS buy
if you are interested in just the topre sliders, this isnt the thread for you, but we will release them on their own shortly, but as stated before, they are being made, so topre users can enjoy these sets, whilst we further investigate topre options and alternatives

That's a classic case for mistake-proofing right there. Users keep completing their orders without realizing the spacebar is missing. The system should have a pop-up for orders with no spacebar.
It comes with a spacebar just not a purple one, the spacebar packs are actual extras in addition to what comes with the kits.

ah I'll just wait then thanks I wasn't sure how soon it would be, but you seem pretty confident, plus I already have enough work to do on keyboards this month I look forward to your future buys sadly I just don't have the money to spare for a full set this month :(If you're currently frowning upon this let me know and I'll edit my post!
If there's anyone in USA who's going to order just a set w/o the topre stem mods and would be willing to add the stems to their order if I pay for the increased cost + shipping let me know <3
im not against it, but it seems pretty extreme when they will be available soon on there own, with far cheaper shipping
Post by: Zentaaa on Tue, 05 May 2015, 16:00:58
Will these fit on a hhkb? Or are there some mods missing? Thanks?

This is my first group buy that hasn't been on MassDrop. How much is international shipping? And does the "28 days left" mean I have that long to purchase? Do you get the orders and then create the sets? I really don't want to miss out, I just don't have the money right now. Thanks.Shipping is in the OP
HINT: $18 int

About the sliders, are there stabilizers included?You don't need stabilizers. The only stabilized key is the space bar.
About the sliders, are there stabilizers included?
no
but topre boards only have stabs on the space bar
later down the roaqd we are looking in to making a 6 u spacebar with an mx stem but tope stab mounting points
as for selling the sliders separately, that was originally part of the plan for this buy, however, they are really only being made so people can enjoy these sets on topre boards as well as mx, so we wanted to give people in on this buy first shot at them, but a while down the road they will be available on their own
Talkin' 'bout these thangs:

I was under the impression that you can't put a normal stem in there.
Post by: ghostjuggernaut on Tue, 05 May 2015, 16:16:37
It doesn't appear to fully support the HHKB layout, but you can make it work if you want to use it. The only key that isn't there is a 1.5x backspace. You could us a different key in that location though.Will these fit on a hhkb? Or are there some mods missing? Thanks?

you have 28 days left to purchase, and as stated in the op, international shipping is $18

you can see the keys in the OP
the answer is yes, you have the keys you need, but some will not have correct legends, for instance there is a r3 control or r4 backspace

In the case of the space bar, how would we use these in a topre board? the stabs wouldn't work seeing as it's got mx stems. so just use the topre one?
for the time being yes

Is there a pic of the topre sliders? Are they separate or integrated with the ordered set?

Post by: BunnyLake on Tue, 05 May 2015, 16:52:26
I already ordered a few spacebars but is it possible to get 2x 6.25u spacebars instead of 1x 6.25u and 1x 7u spacebar for each pack?
if you message me around the time i say these arrived, i should be able to accommodate that for you

Just in case someone can't match one of the sets due to the white space bar not being available for the masses.

Here are some updates:
1, Each set will add at least 2* R4 1x windows keycaps (numlock, scroll lock).
2, Each set will add caps lock windows keycaps, but only have Stepped caps lock.
Those will not increase the price, if we add more keycaps which are not included in mockups, I will let you know.

Unless JT are doing some ground breaking stuff I don't think it's possible to do double-shot windowed caps. They'll probably be pad printed or blanks.

Only thing missing to make this even more perfect would be a R2 1.5u backspace.

Post by: BunnyLake on Wed, 06 May 2015, 05:42:19
we will be adding some keys
firstly, we will be adding a windowed scroll lock, num lock, and caps lock with pad printed legends, this was tested yesterday and all went fine
we will also be trying to make and add windowed cherry keys, we are in the process of testing this now, so its not confirmed until we see the results, but this is a possibility
we are also working on r3 ctrl and r2 dropped backspace, its not looking likely these will be ready in time for this buy, but almost certainly will be for the next
we are also fine tuning some legends, so things are being constantly revised, we will be spending the time this gb is live constantly tinkering to make things better and update you guys a long the way
as mentioned, this is the first buy, we are listening to all feedback and wants etc, and doing our best to make not just this buy, but all future buys as good as possible

Definitely keen to see what happens with the Topre-MX spacebars, I think if you could work out a set of bars that support the FC660, HHKB and Realforce you'd get a ton of sales. I'm hoping for the FC660 personally :)
Will buy some stems regardless though!
Post by: FoC_Tow on Wed, 06 May 2015, 06:23:10
Also sweet to hear you guys are working on R2 Delete and R3 Control!
Since they most likely wont be ready in time for this GB, maybe you could consider doing a complementary Delete/Control set for the current GB whenever the next happens, similar to the space bar sets? =D

I do not have a keyboard yet(current one isn't compatible with these keycaps) , but I already joined 4 GB(Miami Nights, JTK, Vortex, Tai-hao), 1 keyset shipped(Toxic), and still looking for 3 different sets of keycaps(Raindrop, Hack'd, and Pulse). :D I really need to block GH and r/mm on my pc. :'(
Well, I started with a Filco (x2), Ducky (x2) and then sold em and got a Korean custom. I'm trying to limit myself by just having one keyboard :))!

Doing the same but limiting myself to 2 boards. You'll see your limit grows ad the time goes haha.

I thought I was crazy buying another board for work about 3 months ago.
Since then I have acquired an IBM Model M, Novatouch TKL and have got a Poker 3 on the way...

Don't hate on the guy, it's a valid concern. I'd certainly like to be made aware that delivery could take up to 1.5 years.Hasn't the large delay with previous group buys due to having to moving shipments and other problems been well talked about? My toxic set took almost a year due to delays, but I was patient and it arrived.
It's unfortunate for the delays. I'm sure Bunny has/will address the problem.
I'm not trying to hush people into secrecy, just saying he'll probably get faster/better results from a simple PM.

I don't think Bunny or Air_tree were hating on him just stating that this isn't the right place to post this and that he should both ask in the original Raindrop thread or PM Bunny about the order. I understand where he is coming from but from what I understand this was an issue that wasn't foreseen due to reasons I forget at the moment.
Post by: BunnyLake on Thu, 07 May 2015, 11:00:31
firstly, im not sure it would be a valid concern to say this could take over a year
on the setup we currently have now, we have run gbs for bro set, miami twice and hackd by geeks (all turned around in pretty record time)
all of which are shipped (with the exception of orders who wanted their shipping combined with hyperfuse)
bro set was shipped in 1 day
miami was shipped in 1 day
70% of hackd was shipped in 1 day, codys daughter then broke her leg, and the other 30% was shipped within a week later
if people wanna talk about old buys
i shipped all of my orders, within 1 day of receiving them
what is outstanding on old buys is what raccoon agreed to ship but never did
i fought for months and months for it to be done, and then fought for months and months to get everything back, at my own expense to get it to people,
im yet to receive a large amount of the shipping money back, so again, at my own expense, have been shipping peoples orders
across several buys, he failed to ship about 600 orders
after getting it back in our hands, on top of our current work and obligations, we have now shipped over 500 of these orders
there is a bit under 100 left, about 40% of which are shipping today
about 20% more will be done next session
then there is about 30 ish orders left
of which we are missing bits of, which we never got back from the old proxy, these of course, will be replaced, at my own expense
all of this has been done, with very little complaining on my part, but if you want to call my motivation or credibility in to question, im more than happy to go to bat

Changing the topic, but is it likely that similar JT GBs will run in the future, and in what sort of timescale?
If I understood what Bunny was saying earlier in this thread and in the thread on the [CTRL]ALT page then it seems there will be similar in the future and that they will all be as quick as this one. I could be wrong though.

we have the next 3 colorways planned out already
i guess we will announce them soon
obviously the future of the venture is based on its success
what i can say is with each iteration, itll be expanding
right now, we are currently working on r3 control, r2 delete, a topre 6u spacebar in cherry profile and iso support, along with a couple other things
as this process gets streamlined and grows, you can expect regular buys with a very short turnaround time

FC660M does not have a universal spacebar AFAIK, it has a spacebar with odd spacing on the stabilizer mounts, meaning it's not compatible with most of the spacebars out there, and requires a different mould.

Hate seeing Bunny taking hits to the groin for someone else's failure. Even if ONE person has not received his/her order yet you will get that publicly announced here in Geekhack, I had a couple of orders that went on for more than a year but Bunny eventually sorted it all and I received everything I had paid for.
People need to be PATIENT, besides if you are still waiting on receiving a SINGLE order from Bunny and haven't bought any other key-sets since being here on Geekhack you need to ask, do you really need any key-sets at all?
Had waited for more than a year for some of my keys BUT I also participated in a whole lot of Group Buys, so now have a small mountain of ABS keys to play with whilst I'm waiting for my old orders to filter through. Not once did I go into any Group Buy section to blame Bunny or his crew on this extreme waiting period. Better to always PM him and let him know of the circumstance that needs to be addressed, he will always answer you with a solution and/or maintain the fight to get your keys sent out to you.
Out of all the people I have ever dealt with since being here on Geekhack, BunnyLake reigns as the Number ONE person to trust despite any problems that might arise during the whole Group Buying process. There will sometimes be complications that are out of anyone's control but it will get sorted and handled when BunnyLake picks up your order.
Another thing to remember BunnyLake is a human being which means that being courteous and nice shall reap enormous benefits BUT if you decide to go all nasty and rude, you will get a FREE size 14 steel-cap up your arse, personally delivered by ME all the way from the NT 8) .

About the price, they are actually same. Because Chinese can pay me RMB so that they can save some Exchange rate and fee(Do not forget there is another Exchange rate and fee paying from Bunny to me). So the price is a little bit expensive if you pay via other ways.(Only $3 around)
About the shipment, they are also same. I will ship to Ctrl Alt before I ship Chinese orders.

I wonder the reason why it is.
Because it was made later than 2.25 and 2.75. One of my friend told me some people like use 1.75 shift, so I added it as extension. It was not in the initial plan. So I only made the arrow

You mean these sets are still under development?
If yes, I'd like to know when you expect to finalize all of them.
Otherwise, is there any possibility to add a new 1.75 shift with the text legend in sets?
Thanks for your quick reply.
ps) 1.75 shift plays an important role in a 60% layout like HHKB or Poker as well as a compact style layout like G80-1800.

it states in the OP, that all keys have been fully tested but as this is new, we will be making constant tweeks and improvements a long the way
during the time this buy is live, we are making as many improvements as we can based on feedback, but the sets will go in to full production as soon as the buy is over, nothing will be produced that hasnt been thoroughly tested, and nothing will be shipped out that doesnt meet a very high standard

Hate seeing Bunny taking hits to the groin for someone else's failure.
I think anyone who complains about how long a group buy takes should have to run one before participating in any others. I've had to wait on sets before (still waiting for some), but I will never complain. Group buys are a ton of work, and I surely can't do any better. I get frustrated just reading the threads and watching the peanut gallery snipe at the organizers.
I'm just glad Bunny keeps going, because I love what he and JT Keycaps are trying to pull off here. I can't wait to see what's next.

im really sorry for the dusty pics, this is my daily driver board and ive been testing these keys out everyday for a bit over a month in various layouts and combos
please note the cmyw set is made by gmk, i left it in because i think its good for people to see the comparison, and that you can mix and match these sets

Bunny in the future, have you guys considered doing new rounds of well established colour ways/ keycap sets with JT keycaps as the manufacturer? Dolch, Miami, Classic beige. Those type of sets? It would be really cool to get sets like Miami with that thickness and from the sounds of it the compatibility.
I'm sure tons of people would be interested in those sets with this kind of quality and price.

yeah
ive mentioned it before but we have the next 3 colorways already lined up
i wont announce them just yet but they are set in stone, after that though, the keycap world is our oyster as it were, so anything is possible

No they have been finished. I mean they are different because 1.72 was quite later than others. I have worked with these keycaps more than one year.Suddenly I realized that there was no text, "Shift", on 1.75 shift unlike 2.25 or 2.75 shift in mockups.
I wonder the reason why it is.
Because it was made later than 2.25 and 2.75. One of my friend told me some people like use 1.75 shift, so I added it as extension. It was not in the initial plan. So I only made the arrow
You mean these sets are still under development?
If yes, I'd like to know when you expect to finalize all of them.
Otherwise, is there any possibility to add a new 1.75 shift with the text legend in sets?
Thanks for your quick reply.
ps) 1.75 shift plays an important role in a 60% layout like HHKB or Poker as well as a compact style layout like G80-1800.
About the new shift, there is no plan now. Sorry.
I know each key is important , but we can not provide all the keys and make all the customers satisfied with all the keys. We have to move step by step, please understand~
That’s okay. There’s nothing to be sorry about.
This is just the first trivial step as you told, but may be a meaningful choice, start, or experience eventually.
We all in GH have lots of patience, and are good at waiting for what we want or what we need.
There’s a fine line between frontiers and scammers. The former has passions, but the latter doesn't.
Good quality gives you quite some guarantees for gaining high credibility.
If your first work would be successful and make us satisfied, you'll make a new history on your way.
At last, probably or not, you'll realize that you are placed inside the mainstream someday.
I would like to cheer on you. Don't be shy of your competitors and get on your feet.
Welcome to GeekHack and good luck with your biz.

Looking forward to seeing what else is coming down the pipe.
At some point in the future I hope a reverse beige set happens like the one that Ivan was planning (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=66364.0) except with funky coloured windowed function keys (http://i.imgur.com/daUalkf.jpg) :cool:

These look awesome and I'm really looking forward to picking up some quality keycaps without spending a large percentage of my paycheck.
ill take a picture of the bottom of the spacebar tomorrow but its currently just a 3 pronged affair, i dont own any leopold boards so im not hip to all the compatibilities but im assuming you need one of the 6 pronged guys, ill have a word and see if this is something we can look in to for the future but to my knowledge it wont be included in this buy

Leopolds 200R and 750R need the 6 stem, as does the 6Gv2 and some other boards. The Leopold 660M will not work even with the 6 stem one.
For reference the universal spacebar (6stem) is included on SP's DCS and SA spacebars, not the DSA.

The EK universal spacebar is universal with the FC200R and doesn't work with the FC660M. (https://i.imgur.com/yN2LYfh.jpg)

I think the 8 stem Gateron spacebars (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71690.msg1741120#msg1741120) work with the FC660M. That one would probably be nice to make for all the Leopold users along with an extra left shift for the FC660M.

Will the colourways be similar in style to the purple / white set, just with a different colour in place of purple?
there is some info im not sure i can share just yet, but as soon as i can i will
but i can say, future sets will be more adventurous, both in terms of kit as well as custom legends
I'd love to see Manly Unicorn and Retro Cassette done. I never started Cassette since there were just too many SP buys going on at once and I didn't want to do SA or DCS.
as i say, the next 3 are lined up already, but ill certainly be pushing for manly unicorn at least after that
Would totally love to see Manly Unicorn happen!
Hope we can get R2 Delete, R3 Control and eventually Split R Shift (text & symbol legends) by then! :thumb:
Im slightly scared about possible Novelties tho tbh... xD

Stock Topre stems are not compatible with Cherry MX caps. These stems are for people who want to mod their Topre boards to work with Cherry caps. You do not need them for your Cherry MX Browns.

Would it be an idea to have a hhkb-kit for that set, with fn-arrows added?

please note the cmyw set is made by gmk, i left it in because i think its good for people to see the comparison, and that you can mix and match these setsShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/EFQ1kyg.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Oypg9aQ.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/wYwjRHa.jpg)
oh i forgot to mention these were part of the prototype runs, and improvements have been made since, and i have more samples on the way to me shortly
Maybe I'm looking at this wrong, but is the spacebar higher profile than the GMK keys?
its the same
i have little baggies on my stabs, which makes it raised slightly

Do you mind telling the quality of the set once you receive it? :)If the next rounds could be Dolch with a mod pack CMYW or electric blue (that kind of color), that be really sick! :D
im pretty sure we have run dolch in to the ground by this point
I still haven't managed to get hold of a Dolch or Dolch-like set (pending Harry posting my Tai Hao order, that is).
Probably standard Tai Hao, I don't see any reason to suspect otherwise.
I have never tried any so I don't know what to expect but I heard it is not top quality. :)

Thanks for being so responsive during all this :)
Baggies? Like regular plastic bags or is this some kind of special switch condom I've not yet hear of :))
I use plumbers tape. Works wonders for loose stabs.

quick update
we paid for the models of the dropped backspace and r3 control today
we dont know if they will be ready quite in time for production for this set
we have 3 options here
1. if they are ready in time, they will be included with these sets at no additional cost
2. if they arent ready on time we can proceed without them as planned
3. if they arent ready in time, we can wait until they are ready, this would add no longer than 2-4 weeks to final production, and again they would be included at no extra charge
i guess option 1 is largely obsolete, as it changes nothing, but if i could get a show of hands between options 2 and 3 that would be great
second update
we are making a bunch of blank top row windowed keys in various colours that match these buys
if there is any interest for something like this i can add it to the buy

Post by: wlhlm on Wed, 20 May 2015, 04:03:31
About the sliders, are there stabilizers included?
no
but topre boards only have stabs on the space bar
But these caps have stems where "stabilized" topre caps do not, correct? (I don't have a topre board in front of me right now) How would we handle this? This might be a bit naive, as it may be similar to what people have done with the Novatouch sliders, but I'd like to know what the recommended method here is. :thumb:
so the stems on the side of the mod caps that would normally have stabs on an mx board dont have any clearance issues on a topre board
Post by: Stabilized on Wed, 20 May 2015, 04:14:27
Need to make sure or else the username will be a lie!
Anyway thanks, I did read back a bit and found that (asked within the first couple of pages of the thread), and now I am really stoked to be sticking some doubleshots on my RF ;)
Post by: Latin00032 on Fri, 22 May 2015, 20:16:58
I'd be extra excited about this.About the sliders, are there stabilizers included?
no
but topre boards only have stabs on the space bar
later down the roaqd we are looking in to making a 6 u spacebar with an mx stem but tope stab mounting points
as for selling the sliders separately, that was originally part of the plan for this buy, however, they are really only being made so people can enjoy these sets on topre boards as well as mx, so we wanted to give people in on this buy first shot at them, but a while down the road they will be available on their own
Any chance for a "regular" type 6u mx spacebar that would be compatible with something like the infinity keyboard?
I know gateron is making 6u mx compatible spacebars but I don't think they are compatible with the infinity board.

I just picked up a Corsair K70 RGB with Cherry Browns... any chance these keys would fit this keyboard? :)
The K70 has a non-standard bottom row so while most of the caps will fit you won't get full coverage.
I don't think there is any set out there that will completely fit the K70 other than the caps it comes with.
JD has a good write up about how to pick out a keyboard here -> http://blog.ctrlalt.io/articles/how-to-choose-the-right-keyboard-for-you (http://blog.ctrlalt.io/articles/how-to-choose-the-right-keyboard-for-you)

Thanks for the links. I mainly wanted this keyboard for the RGB lighting and to try a different color Cherry switch, so swapping keycaps was not a major concern. I have another Filco and Realforce 87U that I can swap the keys on :)
In any case I'm in for a set just to try, love the color combo too much. Thanks!

Fyi the RealForce has Topre switches, and these keycaps are not compatible.
Unless you purchase the sliders too, and swap those over in the process, which is more complicated than just swapping keycaps.

Thanks for the info, I'll try these on the Filco first and then see how it looks on the K70 without the matching bottom row.

Also if it would be possible to purchase multiple sets of (4) R4 windowed keys I'd like to pick up several sets. It's been hard to find windowed keys, and while I can see most people only needing (2), if it were possible to buy more with my set I'd be onboard.

My problem with all gmk keysets is that they lack the 1.25 CMD keycaps
Generally ctrlalt keycap sets are more respective and thoughtful in this area, yet not this set
IMO, this debut could have been epic with some additional extra keycaps and a more neutral two tone color selection similar to the Dolch (I'm not saying Dolch, yet many similar/pleasing two tone selections are possible)

heres the problem sir
every key in the set has a cost, i dont just mean in production to add to the cost of the set, but this isnt a pre established thing, every single key has been made from scratch, we have to start somewhere, so initially we have to target the most supported layouts, as this grows, more keys can and will be added in the future, but that can only happen if the project is a success, the more people who support this, the more chance their is of things like you are asking for happening, the flip side of that is the more people who sit and wait for these things to happen, the less chance there is of it becoming so
what i would say is this, the initial run is essentially a proof of concept, its the start of things to come, but for this project to be fully realised, it needs support

Are we able to do the whole shipping cost reduction on these and bundle them in with a SA retro order or is the dispatch for both handled separately?
i believe jtk will be ready a good bit before retro, but that being said we are happy to hold one until the other is ready and ship together
what i would say, is anyone thinking about combining them, please be aware they wont ship until both gbs are ready, when we let people combine hackd/miami/hyperfuse, and they then decided once one came they wanted to start splitting things, it just becomes a bit of a headache
so in short, yes you can combine, but please be aware one may be later than the toher, so please make sure you are happy to wait before doing so

Orange would be an instant deal breaker for me. You can't photograph it well and most of the time it looks like crap, with a few exceptions. It's great as a minor accent color, but not something like a full board.

Photograph? You put keys on them before you take out the camera.....
I am hoping bunny makes them out of the cheapest POM raw material they could find, so probably some milky white natural color, just cause they are functional, not cosmetic...

And I'm putting the money aside for this from sales in classifieds. I'll be joining too. Since I'm joining and am buying sliders, shouldn't I have a say in their color? Or am I only allowed to voice my opinion if it agrees with yours? If the slider is orange, it is an absolute dealbreaker for me and, as soon as I get them, they will be sold. There is nothing wrong with vocalizing that now, especially since it's unknown if they'll be done again. If Bunny wants to make everyone happy, he'll probably go with a grey color or a black or white, but I can still voice hope for others, especially since we've seen how sexy purple sliders are.
Post by: rowdy on Fri, 29 May 2015, 21:08:57
I'm wondering on slider color. Here's hoping purple, pink, turquoise, something fun and unique (but not orange, red, or yellow).
Not yellow? :(

Did a little searching and as long as it is a light neutral color, POM seems to be very easily dye-able. So in that case anyone could have any color they really wanted, well except clear.. but that isn't really a color anyways... So no reason for fighting in here. ;D

Do any of those have pics? All the POM/PBT caps I've seen dyed didn't look like the POM picked up much color. I know I've seen dyed disc golf discs and yoyos, but I have no clue what material they're using since different plastic polymers take dyes differently.
Edit: I also know the Rit formulation changed and doesn't work so great now.

I didn't see any pictures at those links, but I did see a picture on a ring page or something like that, let me see about digging up that link:
http://www.theringlord.org/forum/index.php?/topic/11498-dyeing-trls-engineered-plastic-rings/ (http://www.theringlord.org/forum/index.php?/topic/11498-dyeing-trls-engineered-plastic-rings/)
The white balance is bad, but it gives an idea that red dye gave a more orange color, but it also does not have the process he used to dye the rings. It seems like the process on some of the other links was hinted to be the key to uniform saturated color, 180C heated dye vat for at least 20-25min, stirring constantly and such.
from the dupont PDF:
More
Dyeing
Surfaces of Delrin acetal resin can be dyed by
either the "Water Solvent Method" or the "Organic
Solvent Method." Part geometry must be taken into
account when dyeing Delrin acetal resin because
part thickness influences the rate at which staining
occurs. Thin sections stain more rapidly than thick.
Consequently, variations in section thickness will
determine the immersion time required for color
uniformity and tone. Light uniform tones may be
difficult to achieve.
Commercial household dyes such as "Tintex"
and "Rit" have also been used successfully to dye
parts of Delrin acetal resin for color coding. Bath
temperatures of 85-90C (185-195F) should be
employed with "Tintex" and "Rit" to obtain adequate
dye penetration and good color.

and a few of the pages commented on the change in the RIT formula in 2013 and said that a switch to iDye Poly or other plastic dye works just fine on delrin/POM.

Are the cherry or blank windowed key for the top most row? If so would anyone be willing to let their white versions go? I bought white mods with base set and looking to get 4 total.
From what bunny is saying it may be worth waiting to see what appears in the store when it gets opened back up some time in the very near future.

Awesome. That sounds perfect and makes more people happy. If pink and purple are options, I'll have to find someone wanting to swap their modifier stems with me. Absolutely nerdy, but having the stems for the modifiers and alphas be different colors (like pink and purple or purple and dark grey) would be awesome.
They wouldn't ruin my day, just make me unlikely to use them, but that's great to hear.

It's not hatred, just not something I would ever use. Dustinhxc does some great things with orange accents and so has Longzilla, my preferred color palette is just closer to that of CPTBadAss.

Semi-transparent lilac fading to darker blue towards the base with embedded gold sparkles and titanium reinforcement rods in the centres of the stems would be amazing.

Those shift keys always mess up the white balance for the whole pic :)). Caps look pretty nice!
I can assure you the camera doesn't care very much about those yellow keys from a white balance perspective. What most cameras hate about this photo is EV. Most cameras will attempt to meter based on the large dark portion in the center of the frame and blow out the yellow keys. Good cameras produce raw files with high dynamic range, which can help pull the highlights back s little bit. ;)

thats totally fine, whoever you pick to win, can make there own order with both sets, i can just invoice you on paypal for the one they pick, and ill cover the cost of the other and then mark the order as paid and whatnot
because we take stripe on the site, it takes 7 days for the final payments to clear to me, so if for any reason you havent picked someone by deadline of the buy, its not big deal, anytime in the next few days is totally fine

I would have entered to buy the purple/white keyset, but instead put money towards a membership at the YMCA and summer classes for my son (swimming and karate first!). I do plan on joining in on a group buy for JT keys in the future when I do have money, but had to pass on this one.

Wow you guys are way too generous! The only compelling reason I can come up with is I recently got my wife converted to using Cherry MX Blues and now I'm trying to convert her to using better keycaps as well. This way she will be more supportive of my future purchases :D I ended up joining the SA Retro group buy (because my wife preferred the looks of those keycaps) so I didn't have the funds to join this one as well. If I were to win this set we would have matching (kinda) keyboards!
Good luck to everyone that enters!

Just buy it Hoff. I've got a car payment, car repairs, a group buy I'm paying for out of pocket until it's ready to ship, and student loans all set to be paid this week not to mention shipping from giveaways and summer santa and I still bought one on my small income.
...Well, I put it on my credit card, but I'll have the money for it since the GB payments should be coming in and I'll have another paycheck or three by the time I have to pay the bill.
Ah well your first post was looking for a quick post, not a well written short story about how broke I am. Sorry
I thought it was a good one. Better than the my expensive car broke, I'm bad with money so you should pity me, or I'm just selfish and want someone to give me stuff posts.

I work with this non-profit (http://www.bfccap.org) that puts on playreadings and produces study guides throughout the year for inner-city high schools. These always involve moderate-to-well-known actors who, working with mentor-based English teachers, come and do workshops at the schools and q&a's after the productions are over. For most kids, this is the first live theater they've ever seen. Not only is it a way to back-door some arts education into a cash-poor school district, but it promotes fluency with a greater literary canon - these are for English classes who sometimes connect less with the dead words than with action in front of them.
During this off-season, I've been putting recycled computers in classrooms; the kids' smartphones are generally much more powerful than the computers they have at home (though with Moore's law, that's not so surprising - sometimes the only benefit of the old computers is being able to work at a large monitor). Part of that work has been installing some longer-lasting mechanical keyboards - old indestructible Model Ms and Cherrys.
Thus: any keysets donated will go into a high school classroom, help excite the kids, and brighten up an otherwise beige and boring computing experience.
//edit: And hopefully, of course, create the next generation of keyboard-lovers! :)

I've been on the fence for awhile with this, since I really shouldn't be spending money on keycaps right now. :-/ Thinking of joining, since I do really like the set. Someone convince me one way or the other! :-X
Just do it :p
Supporting BL, supporting JTK, supporting GH - all good.

I'd love a set for my students to use. I gave them a QFR to play with, along with a noppo choc mini (both of which I leave at school), and my novatouch that I bring for them to use.How are your students going to use it if school ends this week and you probably won't get this set until July?

I would love to pick up the purple/white keyset from this group buy.. purple is my favorite color. I would have liked to support a new keycap creator's (and Bunny) entrance into the market, but I can't afford to spend money right now. Between my recently significantly increased medical bills, and cutting out on any spending we could (keycon looked like fun) there just isn't anything left to cover the expense of a keyset right now. I spent the last of our budget to cover the costs for my son to have some summer activities to do.. we would do more, but it is about time for my next dose of Stelara to be paid for and that **** is insanely expensiveI'll go halfsies with someone to get you a set if anyone is interested

My personal dream is to be an awesome taxidermist that creates educational displays for museums. I've been saving up the last two years to attend the World Taxidermy Championships that was held in early May with my own two entries - an articulated otter skeleton that was interacting with a traditionally taxidermied otter. I learned many new methods and got some amazing critique by some of the best in the world in their respective fields. My pieces each got a second in their respective professional divisions and I am still super excited about that since I'm only still considered a beginner. Competition quality is vastly different than commercial quality.
I've been funneling all my spare money in to learning methods, buying supplies, and competing so I can get the critique I need to get better and build a portfolio so I can eventually join one of the of artistic-minded studios out there. I don't have many pieces to my name and that keeps dashing my applications since they fear having to mess with an assumed greenhorn, so I'm slowly having to build it up with a competition-quality piece or two each year because will not lower my personal standards in quality of materials and craftsmanship.
In September I moved in with my amputee Mom to help fix up her house when I'm not working on taxidermy. Both my parents have health problems so I do the 3 hour drive between the their houses taking them to doctor's appointments, helping them through surgeries, and doing house work for both depending on what is going on as needed.
Mississippi isn't money country by a long shot but you do what you can. I'm not doing badly, but I can't validate buying something that doesn't either have something to do with taxidermy or helping my parents.
I literally can't articulate how this set is my perfect set. I'd never even remotely humored the idea of buying keycaps before this because of the cost involved until I very specifically saw the white and purple.
I own a Noppoo Spyder Lolita with black Kalihs – not an expensive fancy keyboard, but it was as nice as I could manage without feeling too guilty (and I do like it.) I always wanted the theme of my little computer to be purple, black, and white but it hasn't been something I've gotten to work on at all because it is all just cosmetic.
It's still really swell of you to support their project even if the keyset is not for you. I wish more people were willing to support new ventures like them because I really understand that feeling of trying to get that foot in the door and can't even imagine how much more stressful it is for them at the level they are playing to try and succeed.
Here's a quick picture of of the otters before I packed them up at the end of the World Show.

MoreI PM'd Whentheclouds this but they said I need to post it on the thread so other folks could see it. I hate asking for anything and am currently just a lurker (I literally found GH to haunt this very specific group buy when I saw it posted on /r/mk because this keyset is flawless to me) but I thought this is worth a shot since I've been agonizing about splurging purple set since I saw it being talked about.

Also thank you airtree your a solid fellow and I appreciate it but I'm good. Bunny has said he will put some up in the store so if I miss I have that option 8) And FRANK is going to be missing his vaporizer so Frank is going to be painfully sober until he pays me ....

Bunny is a bit busy, so I'll go ahead and step in on this.
As he said before, the stripe payments clear a week after the buy ends, so if you ask him, he might be able to work something out with you if you can pay him before the stripe payment clears then he'll possibly take your order.
That being said, I don't want you to have to wait and see if he can work something out with you, and you possibly missing out on this sale.
I'll spot you the cash.
Just PM me ASAP, since I'll be sleeping in a bit.

i wont quote the above posts but here is the answer
a late payment is no problem for me
what does help me a ton though is this, if you could place an order, and leave it unpaid, so that when i get a late payment, i can then have an actual order to mark as paid on the site, and so it can go out as normal with all the other
so for you or anyone even thinking about getting in on this
there is an hour left, make an order and leave it unpaid, that way, if you do end up wanting or having to pay a bit late, it makes my life a lot easier

I won't deny I'm a man of strong opinions, but so are many people on here. Visit any thread and you'll see people speaking out. I've learned that if opinions aren't stated, and typically stated strongly, they go ignored. I've also learned that there's usually a fair number of people with similar feelings. For example, symmetry caps (all of two caps) for 60% layouts. I've been very vocal about that, alongside other people who have voiced similar desires, and you see more sets with them now. I'd rather be known as someone willing to voice opinions than many other labels people throw around here.
And I'm putting the money aside for this from sales in classifieds. I'll be joining too. Since I'm joining and am buying sliders, shouldn't I have a say in their color? Or am I only allowed to voice my opinion if it agrees with yours? If the slider is orange, it is an absolute dealbreaker for me and, as soon as I get them, they will be sold. There is nothing wrong with vocalizing that now, especially since it's unknown if they'll be done again. If Bunny wants to make everyone happy, he'll probably go with a grey color or a black or white, but I can still voice hope for others, especially since we've seen how sexy purple sliders are.
I feel like I'm missing something. Why would you care about slider color? I'm looking down at my board and I don't see the sliders. Is this for an ultra-low profile board?

because of the stripe payments, they take 7 days to clear, so ill be confirming the final order with jtk 1 week today
if anyone in that time would like to make an order and can pay via paypal, it can be arranged, but after that, i wont be selling extras until they are on hand and available through the new store

Is the fc660c included in the stab support?
All we need is 6u spacebar compatibility and that will be everything. Good work, Bunny. :)

I can't just swap out my HHKB sliders out... Or can I?

Do we have a choice on the slider colors or are we randomly assigned and it'll be a surprise when we get our shipment?
well itll be random unless someone particularly asks for something, which we will do our best to fullfill, we will have an even amount of each colour, so obviously if everyone wanted the same thing we wont be able to accommodate that, but where possible we will of course try

splitting orders can be a bit of a problem because we have no way to do it on the site currently, its something we are looking in to but it helps us out a bunch if the order stays complete so we can just change the address and we dont end up making mistakes etc
the easiest way if you want to part it out would be to have it sent to one place, and then the other parts get shipped from there

i guess what we will do nearer the time is make a google doc with colour choices
and do as best we can with it
i guess what we will do is start from order one, and work our way through and cover as many colour choices as we can

Pink is pink. It's all good what ever shade they are. Just hoping that I can get some. (As it seems there is a limited number of each colour?)Crossing my fingers for bright pink. ^-^
the term i used when selecting the colour was neon
so im hoping it will be bright, i also used the term baby blue for the blue ones
limited only in the sense that we will make an equal number of each
we wont do anything nasty like artificially make one colour rare or anything, so if 200 sets were ordered, we would get 50 of each of the 4 colours
it would have been nice to do a colour selector etc at time of order, but if we didnt have the colours locked in at the time, and it can make pricing difficult if one colour does great and one colour gets hardly any making it too cost restrictive to produce etc
so ive tried to pick 4 colours that will hopefully give everyone something they will be happy with, without copying colours that are already out there on topre boards (purple black etc)
as mentioned above, closer to the time of shipping, ill make some kind of google doc, where people could list a prefered colour, or perhaps list the colours in order of preference, and where possible we will of course spend the extra time to get as many people the one they want

Not while the keycaps are on. The colour doesn't impact performance, it's just down to personal preference.
I'm pretty sure your WPM increase with the colored sliders
And increases your KDA, FPS, and credit score :)

You got me there, I did forget to factor in the decreased friction caused by the gaming optimised colours that allow fast and precise actuation.

I already have my end game board though, my Phantom with an ANSI layout but 7-bit bottom row (it took lots of dremeling but I made it work). :) I don't think I will be getting that from a Realforce anytime soon unfortunately. Every other keyboard I have/get is just extra, but I love having nice extras.

Normally I would agree(as I have gone through many keyboards looking for the one), but outside of not having a complete key cap set(which is in production right now) I can't find a flaw in it, it just fits me so well. Not saying I'm not going to get another board and to be honest it probably will be a realforce tkl when I do, but I know it (probably) won't be a replacement for my daily driver.I already have my end game board though

Hey, bunny. I was wondering, how difficult/cost effective would it be to produce topre compatibility spacebars for some of the past popular keysets? Would producing a few colour matched of some older keysets be too much?

Question on the sliders, to install them will it just be a matter of snapping them onto the stem? (like installing a keycap)
Or do we need to remove the slider from our Topre board and install the new one? I think this is how the Novatouch mod works -- haven't tried it yet.
hope that made sense. i'm wondering because i don't see a way to remove the slider on my hhkb w/o taking it apart. haven't looked on my realforce yet.
edit: i'm also kind of confused on the difference between a slider and a stem. they're the same thing, right?

You have to take the board apart to change the sliders. No other way to do it.

And taking apart an HHKB is super easy as long as you are careful when removing the PCB, those ****ing springs and rubber caps are a PITA. But swapping sliders is easy, just popout with the back of s screwdriver and pop back in and doneGetting the case of my HHKB to close properly and not bulge on one side or another was a *****...

yeah it couldnt be easier, all you need is a small philips head screwdriver and you can completely strip those boards down, id be shocked if anyone had any issues at all transferring out the sliders
that being said, having opened them up a lot, i have come up with a couple of tricks when just changing over sliders without having to interfere with the springs and domes
sometime before this buy drops ill strip one apart and take a few picks of some simple tricks i have to make the process as stressless as possible

the 55g tkl is really calling my name but the budget isn't giving me any room :(
Step 2. ? ? ? ?
Step 3. Buy 55 topre and live a peaceful life.
unfortunately, i didn't pick up the sliders with my order so i wouldn't be getting the sweet extra anyway.
Or someone might sell their slider set...
GIVE IN TO THE TOPRE GODS.
true, but i don't think he mentioned anything about including the topre spacebars with those. it is still very tempting though
Still 100% worth it.
The journey ends with thorpie always, every other board is just delaying the inevitable.
Disagree, strongly.... Some of us hate bottoming out and the Alps/Matias folks might as well be anti-thorpie in terms of mech feel. I had an extended trial of someone's Leopold FC660 topre and I couldnt stand how far I had the press the key down.

I hated Topre until I tried out the HHKB. Only Topre I like. Also, I love Alps, dislike Matias Alps.

Regretfully I must back out of this buy.. One of my tires has a gash in the wall so its really unsafe to drive.. I am getting new tires tomorrow but in order to cover some of the costs I need to sell some keyboard stuff...
My order consists of one purple & white set w/ sliders, one purple on white mod set, one white on black set, and an extra pair of purple space bars. The order has shipping to the CONUS.
I am selling this at cost ($167) via paypal. PM if you are interested. Thanks guys and girls.
Order is sold to UsualSuspectXXX! :thumb: Thanks!

things are coming on well, a few slight delays as we decided to fix (well improve) 4 keys in the set, including some work on the shifts and windows keys, its added a little time to production, but the end result is worth it
ill have some new pics for people soon
and for anyone who missed out, we will have some limited extras available
we will also have large numbers of a set in a totally different colorway, these werent put up for gb, but will be an in stock item on the ctrl alt store with no lead time
i have also added to the order 200 complete sets of topre sliders and 500 windowed keycaps in various colours to match the sets, these will be available in the store and will ship to us with this gb, i will list just before they arrive, so anyone who wants to add on to an existing order in this buy can do so without having to pay another postage cost

Lots of people are probably going to say, "not Dolch *again*," but I'm with you. I only have it in DSA, and I'd love this colorway in a *proper* profile. The same goes for me with Granite, and I spent a lot of money the last time Matt3o and [CTRL]ALT teamed up (SA Retro).

The same goes for me with Granite, and I spent a lot of money the last time Matt3o and [CTRL]ALT teamed up (SA Retro).They probably will, but then tons of people will buy it despite this. These colorless sets just have a broader appeal. There's always people who weren't around for it last time, waiting impatiently. So I'm hoping [CTRL]ALT will be offering an alternative to GMK favorites.
EDIT
That's my last hijack. I'm just under the impression that if I say what I want, it will magically happen.

I'm really fond of Dolch too but I couldn't afford the price tag on Zeal's website.
I'm still thrilled to see what Bunny will come up with.
I probably spent ~$100's on multiple sets over a period of time, at my current mind-state, I could even pay <$1000 for a set that has it all for me, it would be cheaper and easier
After this realisation, I paid the ZealPC price for a 4-day used Dolch, unless there is keycap damage, I don't think I will regret that decision
We spend thousands on computers/peripherals, they all fade away, even keyboards/switches fade away after a longer period, but keycaps seem eternal

quick update
things are coming on well, a few slight delays as we decided to fix (well improve) 4 keys in the set, including some work on the shifts and windows keys, its added a little time to production, but the end result is worth it
ill have some new pics for people soon
and for anyone who missed out, we will have some limited extras available
we will also have large numbers of a set in a totally different colorway, these werent put up for gb, but will be an in stock item on the ctrl alt store with no lead time
i have also added to the order 200 complete sets of topre sliders and 500 windowed keycaps in various colours to match the sets, these will be available in the store and will ship to us with this gb, i will list just before they arrive, so anyone who wants to add on to an existing order in this buy can do so without having to pay another postage cost

hey hoff,
you may be able to convince me to sell you my set if joey ends up keeping his and I can add an additional set of sliders to the order. I'm kinda more in it for the sliders. The set looks great but I don't know if purple is in my future with the sets I will already be receiving.

Dear Sam,
I am in the factory, but I can not login in the skype, so I send u those updates via email.
"Most of JT keycaps will be finished in the end of this month. Only 4 keycaps are in modifying because some details problems.
And updates:
1, I have remade the control keycaps, the previous control in JT is "CTRL" now I add the control. The ctrl will still in the sets, so each set will have 2*control,2*ctrl for both 1.25and 1.5. Please update this on gh.
2,windows have been improved.
3,windowed keypcaps have been finished.
4, the delete on 1.5x r4 has been finished, but the legend is too large, I have told them to modify this and make it better in look."
thank you to everybody being patient, me and JTK have been working closely to polish up the edges on this gb, as it is the first time, to make sure its as good as it can possibly be for everyone
it will start shipping some time in august

Can we have an updated mockup of the keys in each set ? Because I seem to remember that other keys were added during the GB.

i dont have time to do a new mockup right now, i should be able to do one once i have moved
what i can say is we havent removed anything, so whenever we have make corrections or added new keys, it hasnt been at the expense of anything else but we do have some nice surprises in store for people

I am sincerely hoping that JTK begins replacing GMK sets - if the quality is up to scratch, I imagine that we could see a real shift away from GMK to JTK due to the huge price difference and ability for custom legends

I'm not apart of this GB, but this one post is probably the most impressive updates to a keyset GB I've seen. Mostly what seems to happen is when its done, its done. If it didn't turn out as you expected too bad. But damn.

thank you to everybody being patient, me and JTK have been working closely to polish up the edges on this gb, as it is the first time, to make sure its as good as it can possibly be for everyone
it will start shipping some time in august
I'm not apart of this GB, but this one post is probably the most impressive updates to a keyset GB I've seen. Mostly what seems to happen is when its done, its done. If it didn't turn out as you expected too bad. But damn.
You hit the nail on the head, and this is why I am such a fan.

If anyone is willing to sell their base purple/white set and/or the topre sliders, please PM me.
I'm having massive regrets not getting in on this.
There will be extras for sale. Just keep an eye out.

Thank you bunny and co for all the hard work.
This has to be one of my most hyped buys so far. The sliders alone have made my self commit to buying numerous other sets...I can finally use sets on my HHKB. And you have made a spacebar compatible with topre boards? :eek: 10/10
Doing wonders for the topre crowd. :thumb:

Gateron PBT white blanks arrived today. It has massive LED leakage.
GMK TA arrived today. It has moderate LED leakage.
With GMK on the demise, I seriously think JT can be the new standard of ABS doubleshot.
This set is my only hope. JT's look super thick and the shots look very consistent and even. They look better than GMK, at around half the price.
I am super excited for this set. Thank you ctrlalt for giving me the alternate manufacturer that I now so desperately need.

I wouldn't say GMK is on the demise, but their QC definitely wasn't there for the TA buy and there were some ****y decisions made. I'm just glad to see competition and competitive pricing with more color options.

If they pull this off with the quality everyone is thinking of I wouldn't be surprised if they overtook GMK as the preferred ABS keycap manufacturer overnight

IMO JT Keycaps will replace GMK and we will start moving towards smaller, more custom, affordable group buys similar to those seen a few years ago such as Raindrop and Toxic rather than the current obsession with replicating historical cherry sets

By "Led leakage" do you mean that the light passes through the cap?

both the purple and the black set have been tested for zero LED leakage, a large amount of time was spent in the prep for this gb to source the exact material gmk uses where possible (colours permitting etc) and where that couldnt happen, to source materials specifically for quality to to make sure there isnt light bleed

im also throwing around an idea right now to have all of these keysets sent to me, right now we are sending conus orders to cody, and the rest of world to me, however with cody getting out hyperfuse right now, retro any week and the last few odds and ends from old gbs, i not only want to take some workload from cody, but also speed up the delivery of these sets for you guys
it will cost considerably more for me to send conus orders from here rather than the US, but i would be prepared to cover this myself
basically id like to hear peoples thoughts on this i hate to change the goalposts etc but when these arrive, i would be in a position to get them all packed up and out most likely within 24 hours of getting them
I wouldnt mind waiting to avoid additional costs to you,but i'm definitely in favor of taking some load off of Cody. Of course, hopefully you can do it without it being too much, with the recent move and all.
But I would be prepared to pay additional costs for the new shipping. :thumb:

im not worried about the cost, so much as i am about people all getting their orders at roughly the same time, normally if we order rfom say gmk or sp, its a nightmare to do split shipping or have it sent to the UK etc, so the burdon often lands on cody, but with the unique relation ship i have with jtk its no bother for me to take part or complete shipment of this etc, what i want to avoid is me getting all of non conus orders out and conus having to wait around for both hyperfuse and retro to conclude which are both large tasks
aside from the gh60 gb, once im settled in to this house, my schedule is gonna be totally clear until the baby is born in about 7 weeks, so i have no problem just cranking them out, i guess i was really asking if poeple in conus had any issue with receiving their package from overseas rather than inside conus, if it would mean a potentially faster delivery

Rehosted it horizontally to have a closer look.
Are those the final keys ?
Because the "e" lower case is of a weird sizing compared to the rest of the legends, also legends don't seem to be aligned on both the Enter and the Backspace.

Yeah, that's what I thought.
No way faulty legends would have passed your quality control :thumb:
ive been told there are 4 keys currently being fixed, but im not sure which ones
as we stated form the start, this is a first run, so we have been constantly fixing things as we go
nothing is final, and the set will constantly improve over time, but at a certain point we just have to say its ready so we can get this moving and move on to the next sets etc
so because this is the very first run, i can say there will almost certainly be a few small imperfections, if there winds up being anything major, itll be replaced, but whatever happens, these keys will be improved upon each and every buy
i have a very early beta set of these, and it was very very close to perfect then, and i have seen some huge improvements during this production
what i can say for sure is every step possible has been taken in the timeframe to make these as perfect as possible, but do please manage your expectations to what this actually is, the first sets of its kind

Talked to Bunny about it and looks like I'll be shipping CONUS orders to give him and Cody a much deserved break (if nothing changes) . Really excited to get these in hand and check them out.
Not that you'll be shipping mine, but thank you for help those guys - they've had a pretty tough and busy times trying to catch up on all the GBs to date :)

I'll be sure to kiss each and every one of your caps. :-*

- The manufacturing is WAY faster than GMK (comparing it to the GMK Hyperfuse GB)
- It looks like we'll also be getting a few extra keys that no one was expecting!
This has to be one of the best GBs to date.

Post by: BunnyLake on Wed, 12 August 2015, 06:24:29
- The manufacturing took about as long as SP (comparing it to the SA Retro GB), but since this is JTK's first run he had to fix a few keys. So I can only guess that in the future it will even be faster.

I wonder if JTK's success will overcome GMK.
We're still waiting to find out more about GMK's http://www.uniqey.net/ thing, but I can see JTK taking over a lot of the GH Cherry profile GBs
Post by: Sed8op8 on Wed, 12 August 2015, 07:57:05
I wonder if JTK's success will overcome GMK.I an really hoping JTK is a success ! As bunny has already pointed out the manufacturing times and flexibility is pretty superior compared to GMK it seems that if this wasn't a first run requiring a few modifications that we might even be in the shipping phase by now :eek:
Really the only thing remaining for me to lean one way or the other is to personally see the finished product ! A cheaper, faster more flexible thick doubleshot abs key cap seems to me as a consumer at the very least an alluring alternative to GMK.
Either way I see it being a much needed injection of life blood into what has become seemingly the only game in town for this niche product. Getting GMK nervous and worried about place in the market I feel is a good thing. As the verdict still seems to be out on what happened with TA I'm glad to see some change

Long story short I was trying to say competition is a good thing and it seems GMK has been resting on its laurels. If GMK sees they are not the only game in town MAYBE they will focus more on there QA/QC, MOQ and pricing.I wonder if JTK's success will overcome GMK.Getting GMK nervous and worried about place in the market I feel is a good thing.

GMK is almost like Comcast.
In certain territories where there is no competition Comcast can charge a higher rate and have less quality of service because there is no other internet provider in the area.
GMK is in their own class and there isnt any other entity competing with them. (This is arguable to a degree)
Maybe GMK will find a way to add different profile keys, reduce prices, reduce manufacturing time, add pbt doubleshot keycaps, etc.
GMK already lowered their moq. Maybe now they will change other things.

I think this is good because it forces GMK to step up their game - may it be in terms of quality or even pricing.

No pressure on bunny as he has reminded us time and time again this is the first go around and things will always be improving and JTK's success will depend on community support.
There will always be a place for keycaps made by SP, BSP, GMK, Gateron but to me JTK brings a lot of potential for those of us who want good quality doubleshot cherry profile ABS caps.
And honestly I think one thing most people forget with the 'big' cap makers is they don't necessarily need or always want our business so much as we have to go out and try and get them to work with us. (Edit: Bromono beat me to the punch on this one.)
Post by: joey on Wed, 12 August 2015, 10:46:42
I don't think JTK will ever be big enough to compete with GMK. In the grand scheme of things GMK can really care less about niche markets. It is like comparing Wal-Mart to a local grocery store.We're only talking about our market!

To me JTK brings the chance for quicker turnaround, potential for custom legends, more keycap size opportunities (including topre compatible spacebars to go along with the MX compatible sliders hopefully) and maybe fully custom color options (within reason) all wrapped in a familiar profile and thickness we've all come to appreciate.

I do see JTK putting pressure to step up their game on smaller manufactures like SP.
The Korean forums have already shown a lot of interest in JTK as well.

GMK serves massive companies globally.
A small keyboard forum isn't going to convince GMK to up their quality just because we may change our preference to a smaller targeted keycap company.
Edit: should have just merged with my above post. Sorry.

I don't know enough about GMK to even hazard a guess at what percentage of a **** they care about the enthusiast community's business. I guess I was just trying to say im excited for the possibilities JTK brings and lets hope a few successful runs can shake things up a bit.

I think it's great that JTK is willing to spend that little extra time making sure the set is as near perfect as they can get it.
If they take this trouble over every set they produce, they will get a lot more orders!
It definitely seems that people criticise the appearance and quality of a set far more than delays in production (although some people do whinge about both).
Just as long as the keycaps are safely packaged for transportation.

I think the angle of the keycaps in Bunny's photo affected how the legends looked on the keys, although it is possible that they're a bit too far to the left.

pics will come when i have them good sir
and they will be on their way to me shortly
as for info on them, in case you missed it, every slider order gets a topre spacebar in cherry profile to match the set, as well as the other 2 stab variants of sliders for full compatibility across the topre range
as for adding stuff to orders
i have 200 extra sets of sliders on the way to me, as well as some spare sets that you have currently seen, as well as another set we had made at the same time but wasnt available for gb, all of those will go on sale shortly with the launch of the new store, almost certainly in time to add to your current order

as for info on them, in case you missed it, every slider order gets a topre spacebar in cherry profile to match the set, as well as the other 2 stab variants of sliders for full compatibility across the topre range
as for adding stuff to orders
i have 200 extra sets of sliders on the way to me, as well as some spare sets that you have currently seen, as well as another set we had made at the same time but wasnt available for gb, all of those will go on sale shortly with the launch of the new store, almost certainly in time to add to your current order
Soryy bunny, im blind and looked right over that last part, thanks!

Sweet. Glad to here there is even more being prepared for the future sets.
Also, any update on the sliders? Photos, or any info on when we can add more to our orders?

If it does come up for sale and we have already bought sets (three sets in my case) how would I remove the shipping option? Typically, shipping is always incorporated into the final price. Thanks!

Bunny to the rescue! I cannot wait to see this mystery option :eek: also this has been one of the things I've really been curious about. From seeing the anchor ,cherry symbol and star its apparent there is some customization options. I'm really interested in seeing how well and how much they can do with the custom legends .....also very stoked to see different colored slider options :thumb:I keep posting in this thread, even though I'm not in the buy, I'm just really intrigued by all these surprises! ;)
pick an option, purple, black, or mystery and then pm me you address and ill get that set out to you when they arrive
thanks for supporting the thread and being another uk bro

another point to note is, whilst we are using cherry profile, these caps are not meant to be replicas of gmk, whilst i understand gmk is the benchmark, and comparisons will be made, we are not trying to make a replica, there will be differences, and simply because something may be slightly different, doesnt mean it is wrong

i have looked through my beta caps, and measured, on mine, the tab is fractionally closer to the edge, but my enter keys are spot on
i think the angle of the picture accentuates this issue, i also dont know if those pics are of the final legends as several got fixed very recently
what i do now know is production has finished, and they are currently underway in the sorting process, as soon as i get pics ill post here
Nice, are the extra keys a happy surprise or will you release that before for extra hype? :)
some are a surprise
some i have mentioned previously in the thread
i can also confirm in future buys there will be 1800 support (but not in this one)
and the level of customisation we will show off for the next sets will blow people away, i cant wait to share what we have planned
Pretty much.
Bunny is always up to something good
just wait until you see what i have planned for the launch of the new store
Bunny master of the Hype. Bringing it to a whole new level!

Will you have extra of the longer sliders? I have a HHKB Pro JP and was wondering if you know if they would fit the ISO enter and mini spacebar.

Here is the question people need answered. (Well I do anyway) ;)
Will you be making any topre sliders that are longer with custom silencing pads?
Then you can mod any topre board to be silent.

The Cherry profile is perfect!
I have plans to pair my JTK set with some GMK modifiers of various colours.
I wonder whether JTK will be able to make just modifier sets? Like RGB, CMY or other?

Really, I want to know about the possibility of ALPS/Matias adapters being made?
I really love the feel of the Alps (which might be the opposite of a topre?) and would love nicely made adapters or new sliders which would allow for the use of ALPS with MX stabs. Right now I am getting by on some pad printed caps and then using Gateron Blues with new springs on the others.
The ALPS keycap selection is AWEFUL!

My friend, aim high! Perhaps we could generate enough interest to have honest to goodness ALPS keycaps made! No compromises, just sweet sweet goodness.

I've asked since I have working models for male Alps/Male MX adaptors. The only thing I need to do a little more tweaking on is the MX to old school Alps stabilizer and that's just a minor sideways shift.

Okay, hello. This is my first post on GeekHack. I'm on Reddit a lot, but I thought I'd come over here to ask some questions about the stab problem. So I've read the earlier replies and Bunny has made it clear that we can't use MX spacebars with the sliders, which makes sense because there are stabs in the way. I know this has probably been discussed before, but couldn't a small rectangular piece be manufactured that we can glue onto the bottom of MX spacebars that would allow for the key to connect to the space bar? On the bottom of the key, there are two indented rectangles that the stabs connect to. I'm sure you all know what the bottom of the key looks like, but here it is for reference: https://elitekeyboards.com/proddata/images/th/tspacebar_blk_001_th0x0.jpg. Obviously, you'd need to use some sort of non-permanent adhesive that is strong and won't come off after 5 hours of use or whatever. Clips with different heights and angles could be manufactured to accommodate for popular key profiles like Cherry, sculpted SA, uniform SA, DSA, OEM and other types so that everyone can get the spacebar that they want on their keyboards! Now obviously, someone would have to gather dimension data regarding the clips if they aren't already available online and finding a manufacturer might be hard if JTK don't want to do it, but it might be possible. Now I might be spouting absolute garbage, but this seems like it could work. Thanks for reading this. I'm not quite sure how the notification system works on GH so it might take me a while to reply. Again, this was just an idea and I'm not expecting anything from it, but if it seems feasible, something could be organised.
the stab sets come with a cherry profile topre spacebar so itll work on all topre boards
the trouble with your solution is often mx sets you would buy and want to apply to this board wont come with a 6x spacebar, secondly its not as simple as just making an insert, as this will change the height of the spacebar, and it needs to sit perfectly level with both the slider and the stabs

Ahh, right. Thanks. Do you think there's any chance I could modify a 6U space bar from the Carbon set to fit the stabs if I bought a spare Topre spacebar and tried to get the bits that clip into the stabs off?Keep in mind that I have never done any DIY type things. I've never even soldered a switch to a board. It seems like a long shot but I'm determined to get this goddamn spacebar on my board or my OCD will murder me and gouge my eyes out.

its not impossible to do but its a total ballache
the easier fix really is to dremmel out the topre stabs and replace them with mx ones if you wanted to go down that route
obviously we have made the sliders for use with the jtk keysets, so for full compatibility we will make cherry profile topre spacebars for full compatibility with our sets, obviously people will use them with other sets, but our concern was of course with our compatibility

(I guess the 3# is the only one that is a bit odd)
I have my eye on that 1.75 Control tho, it looks great
Post by: Oobly on Thu, 27 August 2015, 02:11:41
The Esc seems a bit too large, the number row also varies from the GMK's, I think such consistent variations (like design choices) are ok., but in this case, it seems a bit chaotic, it might just be the picture tho
(I guess the 3# is the only one that is a bit odd)
I have my eye on that 1.75 Control tho, it looks great
I think the set looks quite nice overall, however I would not be satisfied with it (but I am a bit of a perfectionist)
Warning: do not expand the following text if you like how the set looks and are happy with it.
You can't unsee some of this stuff onced it's been pointed out to you. The following text is primarily for pointing out things that could possibly be improved in the next run, assuming the set shown is representative of what everyone will receive. This is a very good first effort from JTK.
More
The line thickness variations are fairly obvious and would bug me... Look at "Q" vs "Z" for example, or "N" vs "M", numpad "7", etc.
Looks like they could possibly be caused by remelting or poor legend seating during the second shot, but it's quite inconsistent.
Also that 3... the "#" is too far to the right, the line thickness on the curly braces is too wide and the tilde is... rather an odd shape. The letter spacing and sizing on "Pause" and "Delete" vs "PrtSc", "PgUp", "PgDn" is also off.
They look nice, but they're not quite GMK quality.... yet ;)

Also that 3... the "#" is too far to the right, the line thickness on the curly braces is too wide and the tilde is... rather an odd shape. The letter spacing and sizing on "Pause" and "Delete" vs "PrtSc", "PgUp", "PgDn" is also off.

I'm a masochist, I looked and thought it looked pretty damn good. :))The Esc seems a bit too large, the number row also varies from the GMK's, I think such consistent variations (like design choices) are ok., but in this case, it seems a bit chaotic, it might just be the picture tho
(I guess the 3# is the only one that is a bit odd)
I have my eye on that 1.75 Control tho, it looks great
I think the set looks quite nice overall, however I would not be satisfied with it (but I am a bit of a perfectionist)

I'll wait and see how it looks in person before I make my final judgement though.

Thanks for the spoiler warning :thumb:
I didn't click it because I might see things I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. But afterwards I can't unsee them...

WTB 1.75 Purple JTK Control $25 :)
PM me if you're serious, you can have mine when my set arrives.
(Not for $25, that's nuts)
Post by: justnits on Fri, 28 August 2015, 10:55:36
with this first buy, it'll kickstart future developments to be better.
JTK just started and they will be moving forward, whoever that participates in this buy contributes to it as well.
however with GMK who's already established, and with their current trend of groupbuys, they are showing a slight hint of quality drop in their keycaps compared to previous years.
GMK is still excellent, but given the time and funds, we might see a cheaper almost GMK-like quality keycaps with cheaper price and (hopefully) faster production. :thumb:

I'd read that the purple sets are being sorted first, then the black sets well be sorted. Out of curiosity - does anybody know if that means that the purple sets will be shipped out first, or will both be shipped out at the same time?
itll all be shipped together, all sets have to be sorted before they can be shipped to me
i was told they should be finished sorting by the weekend as an estimate

I was previously under the impression that JTK would be ~GMK in terms of non-standard keycaps, yet the Control/Ctrl diversity was enough to win my heart, I personally use 1.25 Ctrl's as the "Control" does something else at the caps lock spot
Some blanks, more homing keys and I will probably start joining most of the GB's or sales
Depending on how the "Esc" looks up close, I might even seek a purple debut set (Just checked my purple GMK Esc and noticed a mis-molded "E" on that one, the "s" in the Esc of the photos might also be a similar fluke)

There's a drop on Massdrop happening now, but the numpad has sold out, and the price is a little higher than Ivan's GB.
I'd prefer to support JTK if they are going to produce a Dolch set :D

I believe Bunny already said he has like 3 new designs in mind for the next JT GBs, so I guess re-runs of classic color schemes are not planned for the near future.

You might be right.
Judging by the comments on MD and in the great finds thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74895.0) has some support, but doesn't seem overwhelmingly positive. Seems like Dolch has been done to death lately (almost everything except SA Dolch - and we have Hack'd by Geeks which is pretty close anyway).

I already have Ivan's version, but I don't really like the icon only mods. The Originative set on Massdrop is actually tempting, but it's just too expensive for what you get.
JT on the other hand has such good prices that I assume most of the people who already have a Dolch set would buy it again :thumb:

I hate the side-prints on GMK's, that's why I first got Originative's, the mods are also perfect, since they are not only icons
I would also buy JTK Dolch'es assuming there are many extras available, like homing keys, blanks, 1.25 Fn/Cmd/Ctrl keys, 1.75 Control in the Dolch colorway etc.
I spent thousands and I'm about to spend a thousand more to just gather an acceptable GMK set with my requirements, would have been great to just pay JTK $55-$100 for a set

I was wondering, and hopefully this isn't too annoying of a question or anything, but do you know when to expect these to show up in the store? I've been hounding this thread for a while since I desperately want some sick MX Topre stems, but I haven't really seen anything about an ETA. The buy's been looking great so far, though!
i have been told sorting will finish sometime around this weekend
so they will ship to me shortly after that
so once we receive them ,we can put them in the store
so most likely a couple weeks

When will they go up for sale on the store? I messed around and forgot to order :(
very soon, i have also just cancelled someones gb order so i have a few more extras as well now
Sweet. Would definitely get from the extras as I'm still looking to get a set.

the new busy will launch as soon as these ones ship
which as i say, ill get them all turned around in one day
i would like to state that although this gb has taken a bit longer than we thought, that time was spent relentlessly improving this set and adding stuff to make it better
however that work has been done now, and that additional time will not be a factor in the future

When JTK was introduced, you hinted that this new manufacturer might allow to add caps that weren't a possibility with the GMK MoQ, is this something that is still considered ?
I'm obviously thinking about international layouts.

I didn't get in on this buy because, for my sins, I only have ISO boards so I'm really hoping that you can get at least an ISO enter mould made. Of course, support for the international layouts (esp. UK) would be fantastic.

things are being added all the time
for instance the next gbs will also include full 1800 support, ISO is something i will also be pushing for, but as ive said, everything has to start somewhere, and to start with we have to focus on things that have the highest demand, and work from there

Are Ooblys critiques going to be taken in account for the next run and maybe addressed? I read his stuff and it's not a huge deal for me, but I would just like it maybe fixed in later revisions of the molds. :)The Esc seems a bit too large, the number row also varies from the GMK's, I think such consistent variations (like design choices) are ok., but in this case, it seems a bit chaotic, it might just be the picture tho
(I guess the 3# is the only one that is a bit odd)
I have my eye on that 1.75 Control tho, it looks great
I think the set looks quite nice overall, however I would not be satisfied with it (but I am a bit of a perfectionist)
Warning: do not expand the following text if you like how the set looks and are happy with it.
You can't unsee some of this stuff onced it's been pointed out to you. The following text is primarily for pointing out things that could possibly be improved in the next run, assuming the set shown is representative of what everyone will receive. This is a very good first effort from JTK.MoreThe line thickness variations are fairly obvious and would bug me... Look at "Q" vs "Z" for example, or "N" vs "M", numpad "7", etc.
Looks like they could possibly be caused by remelting or poor legend seating during the second shot, but it's quite inconsistent.
Also that 3... the "#" is too far to the right, the line thickness on the curly braces is too wide and the tilde is... rather an odd shape. The letter spacing and sizing on "Pause" and "Delete" vs "PrtSc", "PgUp", "PgDn" is also off.
They look nice, but they're not quite GMK quality.... yet ;)

Ok good to know, alternatives legends on the modifiers (AltGr, Icon only, ...) could already be a big step, I'm very well aware that international layouts is a terrible customer/work/money rate.

yeah i didnt mean for it to come out that way
i just feel people are very overly critical about everything right now, and perhaps we shouldnt be critical of things before we have even seen them in person
to be clear
there are some very slight errors here and there that will be fixed and improved upon for future buys
making something like this from scratch is a huge task, and whenever you change something in the moulds, it has a knock on ripple effect where itll change something else, and its about finding a balance
so there will be some fair critiques to be made, but reserve judgement until you see what has been accomplished at this price point

At the moment everyone's probably reeling from the GMK Triumph Adler debacle, this from a very long established and very well respected keycap manufacturer.
JT Keycaps, being new, is naturally unknown.
But given that our BunnyLake is involved, and given the trouble that JTK has gone to to ensure that this GB produces the highest quality keycaps, I don't think there will be any worries about JTK's products.
Just as long as they are not shipped in secondhand GMK trays :p

Unfortunately the new "Euro-compatible sets" will contain mostly Syrian and Iraqi characters (due to popular demand) which I don't think will be useful to either of you.

Just get my JT Keycap from the Chinese GB and some quick shots. Please in mind the light source is really bad.

Now that is a sharp set. Really impressed with the results so far, for a brand new supplier (as an outsider) it seems to have been a really great job. Can't wait to see what else you have planned down the line for more Euro-compatible sets
what the man above me said.
Unfortunately the new "Euro-compatible sets" will contain mostly Syrian and Iraqi characters (due to popular demand) which I don't think will be useful to either of you.
I'm willing to accommodate them as long as my fellow German and French friends are also willing to accommodate them...

The overall impression is very positive, the surface of the keys are quite smooth and it feels great. The front is not perfect and the thickness had some variation. The color of the key cap is also quite accurate and the purple is very vivid.Just get my JT Keycap from the Chinese GB and some quick shots. Please in mind the light source is really bad.

This keycap set was posted on Reddit to gauge interest. They're talking about who they want to produce it. The legends I don't care for, but I've never seen that color combination before. It's great. Maybe it's something for a future JT set.

this just looks like dolch with a couple goofy g4m3r mods.
i've wanted dolch with all yellow legends for a long time but it seems like a lot of doubleshot pbt options have stalled out.

this just looks like dolch with a couple goofy g4m3r mods.What I liked about the set was the color combination (Dolch-ish) and the fact that the legends were also dark (like Realforce's black on black). I don't think GMK has ever done anything similar before. I added a picture to my earlier post. Maybe it could work with entirely black legends as well.

Especially at these prices. If this was a 120$ GMK set I may have had doubts as well.

Bunny, you are seriously too kind. I will take a set, but I insist on paying for it. I know you can't help yourself, so I think we need to start a Philanthropists Anonymous group pretty much just for you. "My name is BunnyLake and I am an addict..." :P Seriously though, you owe me nothing.

It's worth pointing out that BunnyLake here is trying to repay swill for helping with a buy that Bunny himself is only involved in because he stepped in to help when it was failing.
That's like an altruism parfait.

+1 Especially considering the fact that my 'help' ultimately ended up creating more work for Bunny. Hopefully in the long run it will reduce the amount of PMs and emails he has to deal with for the GH60 buy by giving people a place to check status without having to contact him. Bunny has superhero status in my eyes. Taking on the monster that is the GH60 buy, while moving, and with a little one on the way. Not to mention everything else he does for the community (like PAY IT FORWARD), crazy... I have nothing but respect for this man.

the purple sets just arrived here, the black sets are a seperate shipment as are the sliders and are on the way but not here yet
because i am busy both tuesday and wednesday
im going to get packing the purple sets right now, and try and have all the purple set only orders out by this afternoon, then once i have done that, ill take some nice pics for everyone
anything i dont manage to do this afternoon, will go out thursday
as a quick note, as these were manually sorted, and there is an insane amount of them, there will be the occasional packing error, perhaps an incorrect or missing key, or in some very rare examples a damaged key, this is the first time we have done this, so if you are affected by this, simply send me a pm with the issue, and i have plenty extras of everything to get any replacements needed right away to you

got everything i said i was going to dropped off today
sadly im not going to have time for a full photoshoot today, im waiting for a call back form the hospital but i may have to take my wife in as she isnt feeling good
but i took this for the time being
(http://i.imgur.com/oZPaQ9k.jpg)
as a very quick review
firstly i should give a disclaimer, i am obviously involved with jtk so obviously you must take that in to consideration when reading my review, however, i feel i am being completely honest
having the final product in my hands after all this time is great
overall i am incredibly happy with it
there are some problems, there are a handful of legends in the set that suffer some slightly legend issues, so slight positioning id change and the odd thickness issue, that being said, every single complaint i would have would be to do with the legends, the keys themselves im pleased to say are the best i have used, the few issues i have as i say are legend based, and they are currently being fixed ready for the next buy
all in all, im very happy, and i hope many of you will be as well

Thanks for letting us know. That kind of stuff is super serious especially where she is in her pregnancy. My wife had preeclampsia and they were forced to induce a week early. She was getting headaches and had very erratic high blood pressure. They would measure her and it would be super high, then an hour later back to normal, then a couple hours later high again. That went on for a couple weeks (along with many trips to the ER) and finally they just said F-it and induced.
Good luck with the next couple weeks, looking forward to the newborn pics :thumb:

A few hours extra care now will make a world of difference in the decades to come.
I didn't realise it was that close - sincere hopes for a smooth and safe delivery for all involved! ;D
And I just realised that those remarks could refer to either Mrs BunnyLake and the JTK sets :))

My wife isn't pregnant but she does get some pretty bad migraines and I get some debilitating ones from time to time so I know terrible that can be. Can't imagine pregnancy on top of that. I hope she feels better! At least you have some beautiful purple keys to play with to relieve some stress :)

Migraines super suck... I get them from time to time, thankfully the last puking one was a while back. I know JTK caps are like your "baby", but your wife and real baby are infinitely more important of course! Hoping all goes well through the birth and afterwards. <why is there no manly "heart" emoticon....?>
The keycaps are looking very well made. Production quality looks fantastic.
I know it'll be a while for Penumbra Round 2, SP is backed up with SA orders and there's still that pesky Row 4 Shifts issue, which I think should be cleared up first. I'm happy to be patient for that and keep typing on my originals :)

I'd been hoping to hear something today, but things as they are, family matters come first.
as i stated there were 5 i couldnt ship, because the site wouldnt update the shipping status, cody has fixed the bug now, so they will go out next time im shipping
Thanks. Take your time. I was just wondering how people knew their caps shipped. Thanks for the update.
P.S. I had been looking for a purple set of caps that I liked for about a year until I found yours. (Baltimore Ravens Fan) I cannot wait.

I just found an unused Realforce 87U that I had bought from someone that had taken the sliders out of it. I can't wait to build it into what I would call my [CTRL]ALT custom. I'm even going to spray paint the case in a matching design for the keyset. Mmmm so excited.
"I just found a Topre board in my closet that I forgot I owned." First world problems... :P
Edit: Congrats btw. That will be a fun project. :)

i am awaiting on the rest of the stuff as posted above, so only orders that only contained the purple set have shipped thus far

Are we still going to get a choice in the slider colour when they get to you, bunny?
yeah i think we put a form up somewhere
but if not i will
for anyone wondering why i had the purple sent first, basically they were sorted first, i was given the option to wait for it all to be sorted and sent together, or to send the purple ahead first, i chose to send the purple ahead, so i could make a good dent on the orders before the baby arrives
so about 25% of orders have been sent already, i have everything on hand and packaging and labels made up, so the second everything else comes, i can finish it all in one go

I thought mine was one of the 5 but then i remembered that i had some sliders too so i'll be getting mine some time after sorting of the other package happens.
Thanks for you hard work!
Also, quick question, will there also be a form for additional sliders to be added to our orders?
Not a big deal, just figured i'd ask.
Thanks again. :)

When you say "purple set" do you mean only the Purple & White keys? I had ordered the keys set and an extra set of space bars (no sliders). Does that count as a unique order that will be shipped later? Do you have an ETA for those?

I didn't realize that. My understanding was that all the topre sliders were purple, but I could very well be wrong on that...

After reading back through pages of this thread I found it. I'm really hoping to get either baby blue, or orange.
hey guys sorry for saying there would be a delay, i just got the response back
so firstly
these are the official slider colours
toxic green, bright pink, baby blue and orange
secondly an update on the sliders
we will also be including dedicated stabilised sliders for complete compatibility with all hhkb and rf boards, each pack will contain enough to fully cover any boards from either hhkb or rf of course at no extra charge
also i mentioned before everyone who ordered sliders will be getting something additional, this is not whats mentioned above but something seperate, we will have the prototype of the surprise finished next week, and i will announce it as soon as it is tested and working

Weirdly, to me the purple looks far better on the curvy ducky than on the very squarish and angled novatouch...
funny how opinions work, because I think the purple looks beautiful on the novatouch and straight ass on the mini :p
Thanks for the comparison, nick! I was curious about the thicknesses. How about the sound, is there a significant audible difference?
Post by: andCoffee on Sat, 26 September 2015, 20:35:57
Took some shots to compare the thickness of these caps versus GMK. Hyperfuse GMK is on the right.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/l8AEhis.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/k7Be1We.png)
Strange that they seem to use a different process. The GMK stems are made from the key shot. The JTK stems are made from the legend shot.
That would make me think that the JTKs would have better centering on the legends since they're always locked to the stem. The "~" key seems like the legend might be a little low, though. That could also just be by design.

Yeah, this key has bottom problem, there are so many keys in set, and this key has 2 color versions in one set, when we tested them, we usually used black white set so we only tested one. That is why one is good and one has problem. But this problem has been fixed, in the following new round it will be good.

For the longest time everyone was bemoaning the absence of any purple sets. Then the GMK purple modifiers were created, and people were satisfied. For a while.
After that various artisans started making selected purple keycaps, and the masses celebrated in joy.
Now there is a full white/purple set, and all can rejoice!
Also, excellent communication from the manufacturer - a few other manufacturers could take a hint ;)

2) how can I get the same love for watermelon pink? Am I alone?

1. Purple is always popular, just that there are very, very few purple keycap sets. Bro made one (black and dark purple), Tai Hao has one (very light purple), now there is JTK which looks to be superior to both of the above (in material and thickness).
2. If the opportunity arises to nominate colours for a new set, you can always nominate it! Have patience, promote the colourway wisely, and your quest may become fruitful :)

the \ key with purple on white, has a slight issue with the stem, the reverse version of this key is fine, however the purple on white is a bit tight, now i have tested it across tons of boards today, and the only switches i have had issue on, are blues and mainly clears. i have also heard its affecting novatouch sliders
ive played with a couple and been able to loosen them up no problem so they work fine, but if you are using any of the switches above, with that one specific key, dont just jam it on there if its a bit tight
the issue has been found and is now being fixed

Judging by the comments on MD and in the great finds thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74895.0) has some support, but doesn't seem overwhelmingly positive. Seems like Dolch has been done to death lately (almost everything except SA Dolch - and we have Hack'd by Geeks which is pretty close anyway).
I already have Tai Hao Dolch and would buy JTK if Bunny ever changes his mind...

I must say I'm impressed but the way these caps turned out :thumb: By the way, if anyone doesn't have a need for the 1u Purple Fn I'm interested in getting one

ill also include the rest of the keys in the set as a bit of an extra

for info on the next jtk gb, please see here
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=75635.0
this gb will go live a bit earlier through our partner in china than it will on gh
the reasons for this are 2 fold, firstly, my baby is due any day, and i dont wanna not be able to give people my full attention, but the main reason is, i want to have this gb shipped first, in the interest of fairness to everyone who supported the original buy
the last of the kits i need to complete shipping are on the way, and are expected on either friday, or monday
all the boxes are ready so ill be able to ship it in its entirety the day i get it
making this decision will not affect the lead time on the new gb, as itll all be made together, so anyone who orders in china, itll be made at the same time as our order
i just wanted people to get these sets in there hands before orders for the new sets are live, so people can see not only how great they came out, but we can be clear abotu any and all improvements to the set we are making

Since we have people getting their JTK sets, any ETA for when the Topre to MX sliders will be available to purchase separately? And did you ever get any pictures of the final sliders?
From what I've heard from bunny he is still waiting on the white on black sets and the sliders to arrive but he expects them to arrive to him very soon.

Thanks Rowdy! I have more enthusiasm than wisdom but I will try to wisely promote sweet sweet watermelon pink.This looks excellent!Agreed on all points. Two questions though.
For the longest time everyone was bemoaning the absence of any purple sets. Then the GMK purple modifiers were created, and people were satisfied. For a while.
After that various artisans started making selected purple keycaps, and the masses celebrated in joy.
Now there is a full white/purple set, and all can rejoice!
Also, excellent communication from the manufacturer - a few other manufacturers could take a hint ;)
1) Why is purple so popular now? It has big love.
2) how can I get the same love for watermelon pink? Am I alone?
1. Purple is always popular, just that there are very, very few purple keycap sets. Bro made one (black and dark purple), Tai Hao has one (very light purple), now there is JTK which looks to be superior to both of the above (in material and thickness).
2. If the opportunity arises to nominate colours for a new set, you can always nominate it! Have patience, promote the colourway wisely, and your quest may become fruitful :)

Is the set being sent out now? i'm a bit confused .. o__oAs said by bunny, some of the purple and white sets, without any extra or topre-mx sliders where sent out.
Bunny has the rest of the sets and sliders on the way to him and he should be getting them later this week or on Monday or Tuesday.

Fingers crossed I will be able to get my sets before the 16th of october since there a "pink day" at work which is to raise awareness to breast cancer, so as you can see this is very important for spreading the word about the awesomeness of keyboards :D (I know it's purple but not pink I think it's close enough).

Ya, I figured as much. I hear you on the 'not prepared at all'. Trust me, you won't be prepared for any of it regardless of how much you think you are. Just keep your head and take care of your wife and you guys will do fine. Just a heads up, you will be handling all of the hospital staff and you won't have your wife to bounce things off, so I would recommend you get on the same page with your wife now before things start. This was something I did not think about before I was put in the situation and I remember thinking "damn, how the hell am I supposed to know these answers". Things like "Do you have a birthing plan?"... We did fine, as will you, but that is something that blindsided me a bit...

on second thoughts with this shipping stuff
what im gonna do now is try and ship as many orders as i can today, including slider orders, and then ill send the sliders separately, as i dont wanna end up holding peoples sets longer than expected wiht the baby coming etc
ill pay the additional postage to ship them separately
Post by: BunnyLake on Mon, 05 October 2015, 12:08:03
2 things
firstly
ive packed and marked as shipped about 120 orders so far today
these will either be dropped off early tomorrow morning, or wednesday afternoon
as mentioned before there is a slight fault with the purple on white \ key, these keys are being reprinted over the next 3 days and will be shipped express to me when they are done, if you have an issue with your key, ill send you a replacement once i have them on hand
the issue as mentioned before is they are a bit tight, particularly on mx clears, mx blues, and novatouch sliders, please do not force this key on

there is a paypal donate kinda link thing in my signature, but it only works for certain countries right now
but i would never ask
the only reason its in my sig is because its easier for me in a pm to say send the money to the link in my sig when selling something rather than sending invoices or passing email addresses around

Just picked up the package from the Packet Shop, came to the office and put the caps on the [CTRL]ALT keyboard, just the purple mods for now. I have to say these caps are amazing, the quality is par with GMK, texture, thickness, the caps match perfectly with OG Cherry, it's a dream typing on these. This was one awesome gift from Bunny :thumb: just made my day. My board looks hot, just have to swap the spacebar with the green one and I will have my Joker Theme 60%.

I have a Purple GMK Esc so will compare them. I have also a Purple GMK set coming so when I get those I'll compare them. But I have to say, we don't need GMK anymore, the quality is exceptional, the freedom of colours, custom legends , I don't see any point in going with GMK other than "it's GMK"Just picked up the package from the Packet Shop, came to the office and put the caps on the [CTRL]ALT keyboard, just the purple mods for now.

Took some shots to compare the thickness of these caps versus GMK. Hyperfuse GMK is on the right.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/l8AEhis.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/k7Be1We.png)
Strange that they seem to use a different process. The GMK stems are made from the key shot. The JTK stems are made from the legend shot.
That would make me think that the JTKs would have better centering on the legends since they're always locked to the stem. The "~" key seems like the legend might be a little low, though. That could also just be by design.
This is very interesting indeed. I don't see the flow paths for the base material to enter the islands in the legends, though. There's no visible support grid for the legends to allow this. Secrets of the trade I guess.

Looks like I'm part of 30%.. Caps looking good, Bunny. Thank you so much for these updates and hard work. Grats for the upcoming baby. :)
there are a handful of non slider orders still to pack
then i am weighing up whether to send all the slider orders out now rather than wait for sliders to send them, or to wait
i will most likely send them now as i dont wanna keep people waiting, but ill see how i feel tonight once and for all
if anyone once there order sent whilst we are waiting, ill for sure have it packed tonight, or if anyone specifically doesnt, ill of course hold off

I don't want to speak for everyone, but I will =p Just wait with the slider orders. They won't be that much later, and I'm sure most will enjoy not having to wait two times instead of one ;)
^^ This.
I was just going to use these caps on topre boards so no rush, I'd just assume have it sent together.

they were only slightly delayed behind the rest of the set, when we tested them, one of the larger stab sized ones (for realforce boards) needed some slight tweaking so it put them ever so slightly behind
but wont be long

Do those windowed keycaps have a transparent stem? Interesting ...The windowed keycaps are doubleshot and the stem is transparent. From what I saw on all JTK caps the stem is the same colour as the legend. I think this has great potential for backlight caps :cool:

I'm OK with waiting for sliders so you only have to ship once. I won't have much time, myself, since the wife is in labor right now, and the baby won't give us much time over the next month. Also, my best on your little bunny, too!

Polycarbonate / ABS doubleshot backlit Cherry profile keycaps.... my wallet is not ready for this. That's just too amazing for words. How do legends with "islands" look, since they need some sort of support for the island part (or are JTK doing some hoodoo voodoo magic innovative style legends?).

Beige is a set in the colors I would like to see; however, I know that decision makers of these GBs are more inclined to novel colors, and combinations, that is not bad, but some of us are traditional, old fashioned guys. In any case, I would stick to my vintage beige set, that came from an 80s keyboard, and that it is still kicking, bright shiny, staring at me each day, with a smile, like an old friend, patiently waiting for the next instruction, command or letter.

If they change the prices, the MOQ won't be a problem.
Probably very unlikely to happen either way given how small the keyboard enthusiast community would be to their revenues
Post by: ghostjuggernaut on Thu, 08 October 2015, 10:04:28
IMO, even if the price competitively, they still don't have the color options that JTK has. So I think in the end JTK still wins.Looks great Bunny

the large keys at the bottom 2 rows feel a little different, it's mushier, I think it's something to do with the cap bottoming out earlier than other caps I have.
I also swapped out the spacebar cuz of the mushyness

Be interesting to compare to GMK when my Hyperfuse set ships, I might end up mix n matching between as long as it doesn't spoil the purity of both themes.
No complaints of the quality, a few minor issues with some legends as mentioned above that's seen if you study up close. The white \ doesn't fit but this was expected. I tend to prefer the symmetrical look but a spot of minor scraping in the stem should clear it..
The numpad enter (white) & page up (white) were missing, and I have a duplicate page down (white) and a duplicate standard capslock (white), so I'll be keeping an eye out for the GB debriefing, but certainly no rush for them.
Pics below, with a couple of blanks on the winkeys as it's the closest I can get to the preferred winkeyless look.

The community should support these guys that invested a hefty amount in new molds for these caps. I regret I was not in the first buy; but, I will be in for sure if some upcoming one is planned.
There are mockups of two upcoming sets, one orange/black and one red/white if you weren't aware :)

Sweet, no worries. Keep an eye out - I'm sure there will be plenty more to come soon, especially with the relaunch of the ctrlalt store!

An HyperFuse JT edition would rock.
Post by: JT Keycaps on Fri, 09 October 2015, 22:20:20
Collected mine from the post office this morning, pretty spiffy and a great upgrade past the horrible novatouch stock I was suffering with.
Be interesting to compare to GMK when my Hyperfuse set ships, I might end up mix n matching between as long as it doesn't spoil the purity of both themes.
No complaints of the quality, a few minor issues with some legends as mentioned above that's seen if you study up close. The white \ doesn't fit but this was expected. I tend to prefer the symmetrical look but a spot of minor scraping in the stem should clear it..
The numpad enter (white) & page up (white) were missing, and I have a duplicate page down (white) and a duplicate standard capslock (white), so I'll be keeping an eye out for the GB debriefing, but certainly no rush for them.
Pics below, with a couple of blanks on the winkeys as it's the closest I can get to the preferred winkeyless look.

Thanks for running this one Bunny & Co. :thumb:
Sorry for the mistakes.
The white \ has been fixed and those replacements are ready to ship out in 3 days.
PM bunny and he will help me deal with any sorting problem.
Thanks for those pics.

Communication, or lack of, is where so many manufacturers have fallen down.
All I have seen from JTK is fast communication, honesty, and fantastic keycaps!

There was a short discussion about Bunnysir maybe shipping slider orders with the other orders THEN shipping sliders afterwards, but the general census was that most people would want to wait once rather than twice for their order.
Post by: BunnyLake on Sun, 11 October 2015, 10:51:42
this is the final word
if you have an order with sliders, i am waiting until the sliders are on hand to ship it, unless you would like it shipped before the sliders arrive, if this is the case, send me a pm with your order number, saying you would like the keys shipped ahead of the sliders and i will pack it and ship it at my earliest convenience
the reason for the delay on sliders is this
when we launched the buy, what we were offering was 104 standard mx compatible topre sliders, as they were so popular, we put more work in to them, not only including the 1u sliders, but every version of topre stabilised sliders as well as a cherry profile topre spacebar, we did this at no extra charge to you guys, but because we wanted to make the best set possible, that being said, the stabilized sliders and spacebar were not a thing at the start of this buy, they had to be designed tested and made, upon testing, one of the stabilised sliders needed a little extra work, and had to be modified to make it perfect, this caused a slight delay for them behind the rest of the set, but was a necessary delay to make these sliders compatible with all topre boards and layouts

Just received the keys saturday, and I just swapped them on my Poker 2. And wow, incredible type feeling. Here's a pic (looks a bit washed out because of yellowish lighting but the purple are really deep and the whites really white). Exactly what I was looking for.
(http://i.imgur.com/CCbtuy7.jpg)
My only complaint so far is that I can't for the life of me fit the white |\ and the purple enter on the poker, the stem is too tight. And also, that the stepped caps lock wouldn't fit the poker layout (but I guess that is normal and expected, even though I love the stepped caps lock, I will weep silently in the corner...).
I don't know if it's possible to get replacements for those 2 keys, but anyway, thank you for this great set and the great communication between JTK, Bunny and us. I'm really happy about it :)

The \| key is a known problem - JTK has already advised that replacements have been made, and are, or soon will be, on their way to BunnyLake, who will distribute them as required.

Don't worry BunnyLake, you do that whenever you have time, it's not at all urgent, and I was lucky enough to get my set while others are still waiting.

Too bad that neither my Ducky nor the poker will fit the stepped caps lock. Sad day is sad. :p

traditionally stepped caps locks are off centre
personally its a look i like so i build all my boards with an off centre caps lock
it is something we will look in to adding to future sets though for more oem layouts
ill replace the enter no matter what, but thinking about it, i havent seen that issue before, i was wondering if you could pm me a picture of the bottom of the enter key, so i can see what the issue is
as i say, it doesnt matter either way as we need to get you a working one, i jsut wanna see if it had an obvious defect

I haven't been on for a while and just reading this has made me really hyped for my set of sliders coming!
Now they are designed to work with all boards I can finally put GMK keycaps on my FC660C :cool:

Took a quick look at the rest of the keycaps and it look awesome. Other than the missing keycap, no problem with the printing and I am very happy with my purchase!
Big thanks to Bunny for organising this and good job to JTK!

Many keycaps are tight on MX clears - MX clears have an extra bit of plastic at the top of the stem or something that makes most keycaps tighter.

Yes, I understand that. I'm just surprised homie found them loose because I found them "super tight" on some usually "tight" stems.

worst case, she is being induced on tuesday, so itll be shortly after that
I believe mine has already shipped, but I'd be surprised if anyone here would object to you spending time doing what's really important and being with your wife.
And if anyone objects, just pass their address to Elrick and he'll sort them out ;)

Just received my keycaps today. Realised I am missing a "G" (white) keycap. Bunny, I have dropped you a PM with my order number regarding the missing keycap.
Took a quick look at the rest of the keycaps and it look awesome. Other than the missing keycap, no problem with the printing and I am very happy with my purchase!
Big thanks to Bunny for organising this and good job to JTK!
Hi Bunny, haven't gotten a response from you regarding the missing key. Not sure if you have missed it. May I know a rough date when I'll get the missing key? Thanks!

cant give you a rough date but ill be shipping them as soon as i can
its very dependent on my wifes labour, she is being induced on tuesday so probably a short period after that, but obviously its all very dependent on how that goes, so i dont wanna say by x time and then not be able to do it

All the non-slider orders have shipped, yeah?
no there is a handful left, mywife is like 9 days overdue right now was was pretty unexpected so i havent been bale to get away to drop them off, but they are all packed
Bunny, honestly I prefer to have you by your wife's side than handling my order - one thing is obviously more urgent than the other here.
I wish you all the best, my man.

I understand. I was just curious. It would seem my order is within that handful left, and I am okay waiting until you have the proper time to ship them. There's no rush to receive them on my end.

I have a couple of issues though. First of all I'm missing a white on purple backspace key. There also appears to be an issue with the white on purple numpad enter key. The bottom stem that the stabilizer should go into is noticeably narrower than the other two stems and doesn't fit onto the board. I haven't seen anyone bring this issue up yet so here's a picture of the underside of the key:

I also have the well established issue with the purple on white |\ key which doesn't really need mentioning at this point.
Thanks again Bunny and JTK for making this set happen. And good luck with the baby Bunny! None of my issues are very urgent so take your time.

Yeah I am betting that there are very few unaffected (maybe the MX clear crowd?). I have used bits of plastic shopping bag to alleviate mine for testing purposes. Just waiting on some switches for the keyboard build to begin (only takes a day usually). Again, super excited and the quality of the caps is insane. Already starting my new command key sculpt (Not a windows user) which should be cast next week.

Anybody have a solution for the 6u spacebar issue for Topre boards when the cherry sliders drop?You can use white sets where the alpha are white and hope the white matches.
For example, the stock white topre spacebar matches hyperfuse white.
Maybe in the future we can convince bunny and JT to do a spacebar group buy that match the most popular sets.

Not sure if you realized but the slider orders are coming shipped with Topre spacebars - so you could totally use the purple one for Hyperfuse

I know that, just the stock white is not quite as bright as the JTK one as I've heard, so it'll match hyperfuse a bit better.Anybody have a solution for the 6u spacebar issue for Topre boards when the cherry sliders drop?You can use white sets where the alpha are white and hope the white matches.

Punk did some photos of hyperfuse on his fc660c and he used the stock white topre spacebar.

And I've ended up wasting half the day on something else and haven't gotten the pictures off my camera yet.
First thought: Wow!
Second thought: Wow!
The only observation I've made is that the stems under the Enter key are a little short for the Costar stabiliser inserts I have - they do not push in all the way.
With a small square of plastic, they stay in well enough, and the key seems to work.
Just an observation.

First is Enter, second is right Shift. AFAIK they are standard CM QFR/QFS stabiliser inserts.

As I mentioned, not a problem. The Shift stays in very well without needing any additional help. And a small square of plastic around each Enter stabiliser holds them well too.

Only minor issue I've had since using these is the right shift has popped free a couple of times.
Doesn't feel unusually loose, and the stem looks as it should. Might be a novatouch stab issue, my habit of hitting the extreme left edge or I've a stronger pinkie than I realised.
Hopefully those coveted ISO shapes will eventually appear in time, even just blanks would be nice.

You could try a small square (about 1cm square) of, say, a plastic bag over the stem before you put the keycap on.

The MX spacebars included in the set are 6.25u and 7u long so they wouldn't fit a Topre board
Bunny has already addressed this by graciously including 6u Topre spacebars in any order that included sliders

Yeah basically what has happened is, when we made the stabilised large slider, we didn't take in to account the extra stabilising mounting points on keys such as backspace, so all the sliders are done and ready but we are still fidgeting with that 1 slider to make it so users don't have to destroy the underside of key caps to solve clearance issues on a real force, they are nearly done but me and jtk have made the decision to send the sets now and then the sliders
To apologise for his delay, every set of sliders will now come with 3 different cherry profile topre spacebars, one in white, one in purple and one in black and me and jtk are going to split the additional shipping cost between us so there will be no additional cost to the end user
I want to get the sets out so that we can discover any packing issues and damage and be able to get those keys out to people asap so we can wrap this up
I'm typing this on a phone, the reason I didn't include it in he message above is I wanted to do it at my desk where I have some pics and all the info, but that is the gist of it

Damn, buying this set + sliders just keeps getting better! Please don't feel like you need to rush it out for us though, we understand you've got a lot on your plate. Do whatever is best for you at this (very important!!) time. Thanks as always though :)

slider orders are all packed, my mom came to visit the baby for a couple days so most likely ill have them all out on monday, and should be sending notifications over the weekend
i also have a couple of updates regarding the sets themselves
we will be providing an 1800 kit for the 2 colorways in this gb for people who entered this gb, they are being prepared now, once they are ready ill have a form up on the website for people to fill in if they would like a set
second
as you may know, there are a few issues with the current sets, these have all been fixed and quality will constantly be improved, however, that is no good for people who supported us early, being left with a set that isnt as good as people who join later gbs get, so with that in mind
any time we make a fix to the legends or keys in general, we will produce those same fixed keys for this original buy, and provide them for the good folks who supported us early
one of thesefixes we are making, outside of legends right now, is the bottom profile of the asdf row being slightly shorter than it should be, these are being fixed now, and will be replaced for this set when complete
whenever a modification is finished, legacy support will be given for people who joined this original buy
thank you so much for your support and patience

Question, I'm still waiting for a non-slider order (base + PoW mods) to be sent, I had thought all but a few non-slider orders had gone out... I tried PMing but i know you have been busy, I hadn't heard anything about a problem with my order. Any idea if/when this is going to be sent?I'm waiting on my non-slider order to be shipped as well, so you are not alone. :)

I would assume the sliders that would go up on the store for sale also fall into the category of being available once you feel you can fulfill the orders?

The way I'm reading it, when things are fixed they'll be provided to original group buy participants, doesn't say you have to join the newest group buy.
It says a form will be put up on their website when the 1800 kits are ready for those that want them.

Just a minor question about sliders, how does the spacebar work with FC660c/HHKB? As far as I remember it is slightly shorter than its cherry counterparts, so I'm curious if it's going to fit. Sorry if this was asked before.
we are providing cherry profile topre spacebars in all colours that match this set, there are pics of them in the thread

Thanks especially for the Windowed caps lock. Having that contextual caps lock is a real wow factor. Still need to put in the underglow LEDs and some programming, but overall I think that...

I will post better pictures once its daytime and the Krap goes on there. Purple Anodized plate, Sprit white PCB, mixture of purple and white clear LEDs (so not visible when off), and Gateron Blues with 62g gp springs.

She isn't 100% done yet, but nearly there.Mind letting me know where you got your purple LEDs? I need some for an upcoming build and haven't found ones that I am confident will look purple.

In my testing I've found that LEDs sold as purple will almost always be more pink than purple, and the only way I've found to get closer to the blue spectrum was by using UV LEDs.I've heard that from a few people. I'm hesitant with UV, due to their brightness. If you have any recommendations for a good purple led, I would appreciate it.

I found some 3mm UV LEDs that were quite purple and used them on a recent board:
(https://i.imgur.com/5WRHaGKh.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/KFHCiDyh.jpg)
I got them here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/100pcs-3mm-Purple-Violet-UV-Round-Flangeless-Water-Clear-LED-Leds-Resistors-/221550742330?hash=item3395740b3a
I ended up not keeping them on the board though, the 3mm LEDs on the switch bottom did not play nice with the JTK set, I ended up switching to 1.8mm purple LEDs which were decidedly more pink, then finally switching them to white.

If you decide to go with the uv purple zeal has some on his website.

So these are from a different vendor, but they are the same as what max keyboards sells: http://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-keyboard-magenta-pink-3mm-flangeless-replacement-led-for-backlit-mechanical-keyboard-10-pcs.html

To my knowledge, what's being shipped doesn't include the sliders as they were delayed a little further. So I think choosing a preference is yet to come.

So they're still messing with one slider to get it perfect, but sent out the sets early so that they can sort out any issues/replacements rather than waiting on the sliders and then doing it all at once.
Sounds like it shouldn't be too long though!

Those colors look great. Wish I could have gotten them as well.
Finally got my WoB set out and checked it over.
Two things I observed.
The thickness of the letters looks inconsistent. For example the G looks bold compared to the keys around it. This could be a lighting issue.
Top stab insert on the numpad enter key was shallow. Had to trim about a 1/3 of the costar stab insert for it to fit in all the way.
Everything else had a good fit and seated down nice. The set looks great and feels great to type on. Coming from thin ABS it changed the sound of the mx blues as well.
This image is garbage:

You're welcome. :D Comparing the difference at the bottom of each keycap, JTK's bottom are flawless and uniformed, but not 100%. The quality is also good, but there are def room for improvements. Like what others mentioned, there is inconsistency on lettering. I actually like the smaller fonts of GMK's more than on this JTK's. Overall, the set is great especially that this is JTK's first set. :thumb:

Bunny did you get my order out? I've sent you a PM but no reply :(
I ordered a purple on white full set, a white space bar and a purple space bar pack.
its probably a few posts back at this point but i posted above all orders that were on the site shipped last week on either wednesday or a few went on friday
the only exception would be pm orders, in which case i asked people to send me their current address and a list of what they ordered

What's the issue with the "/|" key?
Some people have been saying that it's extremely tight, and will not fit on the switch.
Post by: ATXTider on Tue, 17 November 2015, 22:23:34
What's the issue with the "/|" key?
Basically, they used the wrong mold, and the stem slot is smaller than the rest of the keys. We'll get replacements in the future.

I'll be sure to hit up your PayPal for the shipping cost :)

Or I can pay the cost of a set and then just ship the replacement caps along with those. My girlfriend wants to steal my set so I have to buy one for her :P

Also a really weird issue with the stabilizers not being able to go deep enough into the purple "Enter" key. I was unable to use it.
I know Bunny just had a baby, so, I am not going to fuss too much about it. I ended up just replacing the missing keys with the stock keys from my Filco MJ2.

we will have a form up soon and get those replaced for you, jtk let me know this time there would be a few packing issues and included enough spare sets for me to cover any issues with what i have on hand rather than have to wait for more to be sent

IIRC they were originally developed to show off how they can do custom legends unlike GMK

I have extras, you can ether wait for them to go up in the store, or send me a pm with a shipping address, pp email and a list of what you would like and I can send you an invoice and get those out to you next time I'm shipping, most likely Monday to Wednesday next week
Post by: Dreamre on Thu, 26 November 2015, 11:26:15
some time tomorrow ill have the full list of extras also and will pop them up in the store for you good folks
also of note
for everyone who joined this gb
if you also join the second gb, as a way of saying thanks for supporting us and putting up with the delays, you will get the extension pack for no extra charge as a token of our gratitude
Hi bunny,
For those who received damaged keys from the original set, do you know when we can expect replacements? Also, do you know when we can expect replacements for the \| key (purple on white).
Thank you. :)
the replacement \ keys are on the way to me
as for other keys
ill get these sets dropped off thursday, and get some sort of form up for any damaged or missing keys, and get them replaced as and when people fill out the form
but ill probably wait the extra few days for the \ keys to get to me so i can combine shipping
Sorry for being bothersome., but when can we expect to see a form for damaged keys? I only have one damaged key and I need the 2 \| replacements.
Thank you.

Completely understand! It's just hard having to check both this thread and the GMK Hyperfuse thread for the resolution of damaged keys. I'm just afraid I may miss something... :'(

Quick question about using them though. How would you go about using the stabilized keys? I'm planning on putting the purple set on my realforce but I'm worried about the extra MX pins on the bottom of the modifier keys.

That happens with a lot of sets.
It is much better for the set to be a little bit loose than to be too tight - too many horror stories about people ripping switches apart trying to remove keycaps :eek:

Mr. Bunny, I was trying to wait until the form was posted, but I'm having significant problems with my home row. Namely the 'K' and 'S' keys, they will work themselves loose enough under normal typing that sometimes they pop off. Most of this row is loose and will become crooked, but the 'K' and 'S' keys are incredibly loose. I've got some other issues too, but this is the most pressing. Let me know if I should PM you any info. Thanks again for everything!
sorry to hear that sir, shoot me a pm tomorrow and ill get some replacements sorted for you

i've emailed you back and forth several times regarding my missing Lime addon pack for SA Retro and updating my shipping address (for JTK caps, sliders, and limes). Last time I heard from you was a month now though. I'm trying to be patient and I really don't like to keep feeling like I'm bugging you guys everytime I reach out. This is is in regards to order #282895.
as I said in my email I really at least need my shipping address updated as there's no way to do it on your site.

no, hadn't sent PMs to you. my last email to you was on Nov 28 subject "Re: Your order #282895 is on the way!".
My most immediate problem is making sure you have my updated shipping address for my JTK keycaps order which is why I posted here.
if the "post from a couple days ago" is the one that basically says to PM you, I'll do that.. I'm not trying to be difficult it's just that our original correspondence was email (which also has all the history / order info) and just trying to figure out the proper channel to communicate with you. so i'll switch to PMs now I guess.

Question: Is there no windowed key for a normal caps lock? I thought there was at least going to be a blank windowed key for it. But the only windowed one I see is a stepped caps lock.
BTW I love that the blank windowed keys turned out to be printed. More than I expected. Nice touch! I was just expecting a windowed normal caps lock for some reason, although admittedly I don't see one in the layout pictures now that I really look. If there's not a windowed caps lock, any future plans for them?

Maybe someone else has a better idea but I think the sandwich bag would work.
I've been having this issue too :( swapped out the enter key for a GMK one lol

That will firm up the hold quite a bit. I had a lot of wobble on some of my keys and it helps significantly, but with my case style its very hard to make it not visible at all.

I sort of had this issue with keys with costar stabs. I just cut a small square piece of tape and put it on top of the stem. Seemed to work for me.

Im not up to date with the status on the Topre sliders...
(havent been much on GH lately unfortunately =/)
I received my order quite a while ago, but realized its missing the sliders.
I remember Bunny mentioning issues with the sliders originally and asking if he should sent out all sets right away, or wait for sliders so everything could be shipped together.
Since I ordered with sliders but only received Caps (no sliders), Im wondering if its a mistake, or if everyone is still waiting on them?!
Did everyone else receive there sliders yet? Should I message Sir BunnyLake? O=

Kind of off topic, it was probably answered, and I feel like I remember reading it but can't remember....but - what color are the sliders from this buy going to be? And will the regularly stocked sliders be the same color? Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask. :)

Long shot, but is there any chance of getting 1800 support for the WoB set like the new JTK sets?
I think I saw something previously about JTK giving legacy support to those that supported the debut GB.
Edit: Scratch that. Legacy support is only for the fixes. See page 33

I know it's been asked multiple times now and I believe you have some yourself judging by your HHKB but anyway could we/I get a update on when to expect getting the sliders as it's been a while now and I understand you needed to remake some but I would like a rough timeframe which I don't think/hope is too much trouble to ask for, thanks again bunny.
I hate to jump on this as well seeing as Bunny surely is very busy with his other stuff right now, but I would really like to know what the hold up is this time too.

It's a known issue, and we're supposed to get replacements eventually. The wrong mold was used for that key, and it wasn't noticed until it was too late, it seems.

they are currently being worked on and tested, the exact issue is less to do with the slider design, and more that as the larger keycaps like backspace have stabilized stems, they have clearance issues with the raised parts on topre boards for the relevant keys, so in the original form they work just fine if you clip the stabilized stems on those caps, but obviously we didnt want people to do any self modding, particularly then rendering those couple of caps useless on mx boards
so we are actively tweeking and testing those caps, as some of you may have seen, ach time we make a change, that needs to be tested and then signed off on, we arent going to put out an inferior product, as mentioned before its down to just one of the larger stabilized keys now, that only effects realforce boards, as soon as its done it takes no time at all to run them off, and ill give an exact date as soon as i possibly can

Sliders are used to make keycaps that are meant for mx switches compatible with topre.

- The legend thickness is crazy inconsistent on my set. I can take some pictures if folks would like. Some like Q, G, and M have very thick legends, others like C have very thin ones. Is this something that will be looked at for future rounds or did I just get unlucky?
- The feel is great, quite comparable to GMK. Maybe ever so slightly heavier.
- Really enjoy the crispness of the colorway, well-chosen.
- Also really appreciate that there are options to avoid having F5-F8 in alternate colors, I realize many prefer swapping those but personally I've always hated the look. So big :thumb: from me for including that option.
- It's odd to me that numpad 5 has a homing bump while F/J have scoops, but I never use numpad so not sure how standard this is. But, might put one together eventually and that would discourage me from using this set for it. Highly prefer scoops for cherry profile sets.
Other than that, very impressive set! Really enjoying mine so far.

unfortunately my set is still missing. As discussed with you before Christmas I still had hope it might show up eventually, but apparently something went terribly wrong.

any that havent shipped yet, sit tight a few days and we will be adding a new support system where you can request keys and itll generate a shipping label etc and remove a lot of the work and pm spam for me

Also is the mockup on the first page accurate as I still need to check my set yet :X or anyone else can say I know there's a few extra keys but mainly just the base set and hhkb support I want to check is all there :)

Anyone find a proper fix for the Novatouch enter key?
:(
I love this set too. I don't want to have to sell it.
i picked one up just to try it
was a ghetto fix but i cut off the 2 stab mounts on the enter key cap, and used a little baggy in the centre stem
mine was super stable
but then i had lots of enter keys so wasnt worried about destroying one
if needed i can take some pics tomorrow
obviously the set wasnt designed for a novatouch so as i say its a bit of a ghetto fix

Sadly I don't have 2 extra enters to decapitate.
Maybe something that can be looked into for future sets?

I bought a 2nd hand set and a couple of keys don't fit - I only have 1 purple 'Alt' key, so I have to use a white one. Is it possible to get it replaced in some form?
Just get the person who made the order to contact me about it with their order number and what's needed

No rush, sir, but is there any news on the missing/damaged keys and also the stems? Sorry if I missed an update on that the couple of last pages.
Yeah they have arrived to me, I ordered a couple hundred tiny bubble mailers on Amazon which I thought were in prime but I guess they weren't cause they just arrived a few days ago and were about 4 or 5 days longer than I thought
In all honesty I haven't started packing them yet, I had been concentrating energy on getting the cherokey stuff sorted with bro caps and going over this big hyper fuse push with Cody in the small amount of free time I had
I had a bit of time on Sunday but I used that to catch up on some outstanding niggling bits and bobs on the forum
Sorry for a bit of an over explanation but as people scream for transparency there it is
I'm fairly busy between now and Sunday so I may be able to do some packing here and there, but it may not be until Monday that I can get them all packaged up
I was hoping to combine shipping wig sliders but most likely they won't ship to me now until the jtk sophomore buy does which last I heard was mid Feb so obviously I don't wanna keep people waiting that long
Anyway sorry for a long response to a simple question and sorry it's taking me about a week longer than it could of
Post by: BunnyLake on Wed, 20 January 2016, 14:26:48
So the replacement problem keys have arrived to me, but the sliders are looking like they will ship to me with jtk sophomore

Ps, I read your post to quickly, when I read stems I assumed you meant a damaged stems not slidersThank you for posting when the slider will ship though :) I am now super excited

Bunnylake,
I'm still waiting for my Purple on white set. Can you PM me.
Are you the guy that got the wrong colour set, sorry I'm bad with names
This update goes to you and I'll include a general update as well
Yesterday my brothers wife went in to labour in the morning nearly 7 weeks early, upon arriving at the hospital he was breach and they had to perform a c section right away
As he was so early there were some complications, late last night he had some lung issues they are working on as well as lots of other things associated with being premature
As a result I won't be around much for a few days to a week and have family flying in and whatnot
With regards to things going out
I've shipped about 80 percent of the replacement issue keys for orders that did not include missing keys or sliders
Once get back around I'll finish shipping the problem keys to order without issues and to ones with missing keys
To the people waiting on sliders, as these are shipping with the sophomore gb I'll wait to ship the problem keys with the sliders to you guys so I can combine shipping has the shipping costs so far have dwarfed the amount of shipping charged, as every conus order was shipped from the uk rather than from within conus as was planned when shipping was charged and obviously the unexpected costs of replacement shipping

topre sliders will be shipping with sophomore to us, and extras will be available from ctrlalt.io once they are on hand
I would assume space bars are included as part of that statement.

We are waiting on Sophomore to get finished as the sliders will ship with that buy. There were issues with the set, so there have been delays there too. Latest update is:
Just stopped to check on a ship date for my keycaps and found that we will get GH spacebars, that makes my happy.

Typically those are sold off by ISO users, and this buy didn't support ISO. It's probably going to be somewhat more difficult than usual to get one for this set.

Pretty sure he orders the replacements from JTK, so he might be able to request one of those if he has to put in another order of replacements. maybe

Still no ship date on the sliders? And are we going to have someplace to input preferences on color? I seem to remember that was discussed.

Thanks for the answer on ship date. Is anything happening with color choice?

I posted what the colours will be, not sure how we will allocate them but you can have orange

No, no orange. Pink is top choice followed by green. Orange is the worst.

I've read back several pages but probably have overlooked it but were the replacement \| keys ever shipped out? I still haven't received mine. :(Were those the ones with the damaged stem?
I seem to recall that they were.
For early shipments anyway - mine were shipped late and all keys were fine.
Correct the stems on those weren't finished or done correctly.

should i open a support ticket to give my address on where to ship sliders i ordered way back when with retro and round 1 jtk?
I would assume that's the best course of action if your address has changed, yes.

Has anyone got their 6u spacebar that fits topre boards in the main shipment or are they coming in with the sliders?
Last I remember is that they're shipping with the sliders.

Sliders are shipping with the R2 keycaps, and we're just waiting on the manufacturer to confirm that date :) Sorry for ignoring you Gliss, its a case of having many different threads and there being no updates to give (thus not checking in)
We're as excited as you are :))
So what's the ETA? I'm not following the R2 thread.
"Estimated ship date is
July 15, 2016"
From ctrlalt.io
Any word on whether these have been shipped out yet?

hey good sir, i updated the other hjtk thread, but the short of it is, sliders are all ready, just waiting on a few replacements to row 2 caps then everything is ready to ship, but there is a longer update in the sophomore thread with more details

I'm sorry to be a bother but I'm still unsure of the status of the replacement \| keys. As I have never received mine. :)) :confused: :-[

I have yet to get my sliders, when will I receive them? I have been waiting over a year. It is very very ridiculous.
