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

Looks great Bunny

This might have been GMKs final nail, from a hobbyist standpoint.

It would be great if it made GMK revisit their pricing and MOQs
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.

It's beautiful!

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

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.

Is this a KUL?  I have this set on mine, and I haven't really noticed a difference between the feel of these and GMK on my other KUL.  They have the same switches, so they're as close to identical as they can be.

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 :)

0 light bleed, even in the windowed caps, where one of the shots is clear

Very impressive. I need this in my life!

Still looking for purple on white with purple mod set for both cherry & topre sliders if not will have to wait for them extras  :'(

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!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

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.

with regards to slider orders

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

Hello everyone.

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.



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.

Hello everyone.

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.

Show Image


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 :)
As Rowdy stated this is a known issue and Both Bunny and JTK are working on replacements  :thumb: besides the 2 keys the set looks great and I feel your pain on the center stem caps locks as the stepped are so sexy there are many boards that support this though so not all is lost  :))
Looking for Black KMAC 2 or KMAC LE Preferably unbuilt kit but will consider an assembled board with clears Please PM me if you can help 8) Always on the lookout for KBK/KWK Bro Reapers,V2s and Clack factory skulls have lots of caps for trade

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

Here's a few pictures of both the Enter Key and the |\ key. I don't see anything obvious but I'm no expert. Let me know if you need other pictures. Also included pics of my switches, in case it might explain something...

with regards to slider orders

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:

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!

Just received info that I will receive my caps tomorrow.  This gb started in May and I will receive it the DAY BEFORE a yearly pink Friday at work, along with my purple zealios the same day.. life is funny sometimes :)  So tomorrow will be soldering day.  It will be funny to see the reactions at work.. 99% will think I'm retarded but should be funny :)

Picked my package at the post office today.



All keys part of the mockups :


All the extras:





SQ is finally happy to go all black :



Thx [CTRL]ALT.

ps: the texture on the spacebar is trully amazing, and the keycaps fit very tightly onto the stems, and I haven't tried them on clears yet.
