JT Keycaps Debut GB presented by [CTRL]ALT - shipped

[mylove1431]

Im interested in jt keycap. Looking good will make an order then 

[skrotnisse]

Hi Bunnylake!

r3 ctrl and r2 dropped backspace would be awesome. If this set will not include them, will you give an option to buy them separately on the next buy. So we can buy the full set now, and just the "Control" and backspace later?

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

Will there sometime in the future be possible to have "purple on white" language packs?

Thank you for doing all that you do!

I'm interested in the same thing, would love these if at all possible.

ok guys

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

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

[Ngt]

If the next rounds could be Dolch with a mod pack CMYW or electric blue (that kind of color), that be really sick!

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).

Do you mind telling the quality of the set once you receive it?

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.

[Wannabe]

Love the intensity of the purple. Looks way more vibrant than my purple Ducky Shine 2 keycaps. I'm in for a set.

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.

Wow, great idea!

[Air tree]

Hey bunny, how long do you think until we can get some shots of those topre-mx sliders in action?

[jameslr]

Ordered. These look incredible! No longer do I have to wait for GMK purple mods. These look just as good at a fraction of the price. I was tempted to get the white mods and I will probably regret not getting them, but my keyboard budget is already busted for the next two months with this set and the GMK blue mods billnye is running.

[Bomble]

Paycheck finally came through, and I'm in for that beautiful purple and white set + sliders. Can't wait!

[BunnyLake]

ok guys

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

[wlhlm]

Option 3
I would like to see the windowed top row keys added to the buy.

Option 2 and yes to top row blanks for me.

[avtar]

Option 3 and yes to blank top row windowed keys. Thanks!

[FoC_Tow]

Great News Sir Bunny!

I vote Option 3 (wait for Dropped backspace & R3 control)

[jameslr]

Option 3. I'm in no great hurry as this is already a speedy turnaround in comparison to most group buys.

[skrotnisse]

Yup. Wait for the keys.

[Bomble]

I'm in for option 3, no need to rush it IMO

[mattyIce]

Option 3 and more blank windowed keys!

[henz]

gotta have to join this...

[cmadrid]

Option 3, a few blank windowed keys would be pretty nice too

[radio_killah]

3 please bunny.

[Want]

Option 3 fo sho. Also those top row windowed blank keys sound mighty interesting.

[Battou62]

Option 3
I would like to see the windowed top row keys added to the buy.

+1

[hashbaz]

These look great, I'm anxious to try them out. And glad to see my Cherry logo key living on.   ;D

[aznairjordan]

Option 3 and yes to top row blanks!

[FoC_Tow]

OMG! Ö_Ö
Was in a rush earlier and didn't even realize the part about windowed blanks...

Bunny just keeps on giving from that giant lake of love of his!! 

[Glod]

damn. I told myself no more caps purchases for at least a year or ever again, hyperfuse GMK was supposed to be it. but this looks to be sweet deal.

lets see if i can resist.

ill try get em added to the site this weekend

[nubbinator]

I'm going to see if I have more stuff I can sell.  Between car repairs (and waiting on my deductible to be returned), student loans, and the 60% plate buy, it's tight.  I have until the end of the month though, right?

[Stabilized]

I really shouldn't but I really want a set of these.
Can't decide though; purple and white or BoW..... Guess I have 17 days to decide!

I know where you can sell your secret stash of Dollies *wink wink*

[effectiveduck]

Bunny, is your name based on the film "Bunny Lake is missing"?

[jackiecanev2]

Three, please!

[Bromono]

Quick question, when [CTRL]ALT store opens, would it be possible to buy just the purple arrow keys =) I would like to get them for the HyperFuse set. I think it would go perfect on a RedScarf with it.

[Tym]

Bunny, is your name based on the film "Bunny Lake is missing"?

I have asked this, is not

I have asked this, is not 

its a long story, with a small part of that movie at the back of it, but not directly named after that

its nothing interesting, just a personal thing

[Stabilized]

Just a quick question about the Topre/MX sliders: do they come with stabilizers?

Edit: should read the thread before posting stuff.

[wlhlm]

Username checks out

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.   

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

[Stabilized]

lol, yup I was so overwrought with concern that I would be without stabilization that I ended up posting a stupid question .
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

[Latin00032]

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

I'd be extra excited about this.

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.

[Air tree]

Hey, bunny. Are we going to see any prototype/early pictures/more information on the topre-mx sliders? Such as height and other details?

[amandah]

Newb here -- just wanted to say how flippin' EXCITED I am about these purple & whites. It kickstarted me to finally buy my first kb in anticipation of finally getting my dream keyboard colors (in addition to the GMK CMYW keycaps).

Congratulations on making an excellent choice for a first group buy!

[HungryPillow]

I just picked up a Corsair K70 RGB with Cherry Browns... any chance these keys would fit this keyboard?

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
