[GB] Troubled Minds R2 by thesiscamper
« on: Thu, 12 April 2018, 16:55:41 »
Troubled Minds R2 has officially launched on Kono Store - https://kono.store/products/sa-troubled-minds-keycap-set

Europe Proxy - https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/sa-trouble-minds-alphas_484/
China Proxy - http://www.zfrontier.com/m/3594


(Pictured - Troubled Minds on Kira - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lekashman/kira-mechanical-keyboard )

Troubled Minds has been in the works for quite a while. We are proud to announce that the Group Buy has launched and is taking off like a rocket. The keycap set is designed by the incredible thesiscamper - you can see more of his work here: http://www.keyrenders.com/

We are quite certain this set will be produced at this time - the only question is whether we will reach the 250 count order quantity to achieve a price break on the Alphas and TKL kits. The remaining sets in the buy have been priced around where our keycap group buy model estimates they will reach. Price savings for higher quantities on the other kits are negligible at best beyond where they are currently priced. If we reach 250 Alphas or TKL kits ordered across Kono + all proxies, we will be refunding $5 if one passes the mark or $10 (total) if both pass 250 orders. Only group buy participants who purchase Alphas or TKL are eligible for this potential refund and only one refund will be applied per kit ordered.

The Group Buy will be available until May 11th, 2018, after which we will be placing a purchase order with Signature Plastics. We will over order slightly at that time and re-open the buy with limited quantities so stragglers can still participate. Please be aware that due to incredible demand for SA profile keycaps from Signature Plastics, the lead time on production is extremely long for this production run and the absolute earliest these keycaps will be produced is December 2018.

We are therefore providing a January 2019 estimated ship date for Troubled Minds R2.

Next - this is a very complex and sizable group buy spanning multiple companies and is shipping internationally. If you are going to cancel your order, please do so within the 30 day window. After we place the Purchase Order with Signature Plastics we will not be accepting cancellations for Troubled Minds - though anytime before the purchase order is placed we can refund money immediately.

Orders placed on Kono Store will be fulfilled from our Utah based warehouse - if you order from a proxy, please contact them directly to make adjustments or ask questions about your order. Shipping is auto-calculated based on your location at checkout.

To view the sets and prices, please visit Kono - https://kono.store/products/sa-troubled-minds-keycap-set

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to get the word out about Troubled Minds - we really love this set and are so pleased to help run another round! Both Input Club and thesiscamper will be posting regular pictures of this set (and other keyboard / keycap sets) to our Instagram accounts so you can see our awesome renders.

I think the purple mods are brand new, as well as the inclusion of some new novelties. Outside of those, I'm not picking up on anything else too drastically different.

All green function row wasn't available before either. But apart from those three things I believe you are correct.

i'm going to guess moq isn't as relevant for this gb as others. the prices for some of the kits seem to reflect what would probably be SP's 50 moq. especially for the Purple Mods and Novelties Kits at $135 and $67 per set, considering you can get a full 104 key set for $135 in some buys. this is probably how they're calculating the risks of the GB. offer one price up and if they have to subsidize the production of one kit for another on the back end, so be it. especially considering a lot of GBs recently haven't been hitting moq for some of the more niche kits.

these prices are disappointing though, not to blame anyone (except maybe SP because i personally believe they're taking a chance to drive up the profit margin based on aftermarket sales in r/mm).

Just noticed there is no 1.25 AltGr / AltGraph key. Was that a deliberate decision? I know most will just use a novelty, just wanted to check if there is a mistake.

Looks cleaner with Alt, and 1 less mold, but properly more the former.

Hi all, I just want to reiterate that the official proxies are ZFrontier for China and mykeyboard.eu for Europe, and that any other party trying to run their own group buys through a store/shop account is not authorized. I'm not talking about small groups trying to save on shipping.

Second, mykeyboard.eu is planning to do a giveaway for some great-looking sleeves, and they are willing to do this for everyone who joins, not only for EU. :)

Third, I talked to kono and we're planning to remove the extra 1.5u and 1u keys on the ErgoDox Kit. Please note that this will not translate to significant savings, but it's savings nonetheless.


Here are a couple of photos of the sweet sleeves necrowomanx made:

Are we all getting the sleeve?

No, sorry for the confusion. They will be raffled, but I'm not sure how many will be made at this moment.

Glad you like it enough to use a pun :D

Hi, thanks for joining the buy despite of the price, the price drop for alphas and TKL should be within reach, so that's a bit of savings for most people. Vendors are preparing stuff for giveaways, from artisans to sleeves so stay tuned! :)

Here are a couple of mock-ups with the NorDeUK kit, I hope the keys I used are correct :D

How many keys will be removed on the ErgoDox Kit? I'm planning to use it as blank keys set for my macro board, so every blank 1u and 2u keys are valuable to me.

Also, will mykeyboard.eu refund the different for TKL and Alpha when they reached the next price point?

We intend to remove 2x1.5u and 2x1u, both R1.We'll have to wait for kono's confirmation on whether they will be removed or not.

There was a very active interest check thread that went on for weeks to decide on the kits. I'm sorry we didn't tailor everything to your needs.

I hope this not gonna happen, as you said earlier, the saving is not that big. I'd prefer to pay the already high price for more caps to have flixiblity/futureproofing.

It was indeed. Surprisingly the numbers still favour these kits. I actually was quite surprised that people who are into custom mechs (aka non-standard layouts) != people who buy these keycaps

Well not everyone just needs a 1.75u Shift or whatever that one key is, there are plenty of 1800 people who need the rest of the keys, and 60% users who need short right shift and non-standard bottom row mods, and so on.

I mean, understandably this seems like the opinion of the few, but I'm part of the "everyone" that will probably give this a miss - $86AUD for Non-Standard to use three caps is mind boggling and I just can't justify it.

As I said in the interest check thread: Absolutely amazing set and I can still only dream of one day owning it, but $320AUD retail to get novelties and compatibility for my board is ludicrous.

(To be clear though, that's not a criticism towards thesiscamper or anyone involved with running this GB; I wouldn't know where to add these keys otherwise to make compatibility easier - It's just that this is insanely expensive for anything other than a 60% or TKL without novelties.)

It's all good. It's either the kit is missing that one key you need, or you only need one key and the rest is useless, both valid reasons not to buy.

Awesome set @thesiscamper. I've been hoping it would come around again since I first saw it and salivating since I saw the IC thread appear for round 2. I'm not even a huge fan of high profiles, but I went all in on this one. 100 bucks was a bit of a tough bullet to bite for the 40s kit, but it gives the 2u shift for my gk64, keys necessary for Kira when it comes, as well as enough other odds and ends that I'm sure I'll be able to toss this on whatever Frankenstein layout board I decide on next. Might there be any way we can see updates of number of kits sold? Just curious as to how many others are also willing to spend this much on plastic pieces 8 months in advance. Well done and good luck on sales!

Thank you for the support! I'm working on having the numbers but the kono team is currently on a business trip for a week. I'll ask them to give an update as soon as they can.
edit: I might have misunderstood you on this one, but you don't need 2u Shift for the KIRA 96-key, it uses 1.75u short right Shift.

The one set I really wanted and glad to see a round 2. If I place an order will it charge me right away or wait for group buy to end?

I believe it will charge you right away, if the 250 units for alphas and TKL are met then a refund will be given.

Unfortunately changing anything at this point is unlikely, unless the change is critical like wrong keys included. Also we'll get complaints.

Thanks for looking out! Ya I meant that I need the 2u shift for GK64, and then the 1.75u shift for the Kira, both of which (plus a bunch of 40% and other specialty board keys) are in the 40s kit, so it made the extra price tag on it worth it for me. (Also, the text direction keys are a nice touch.)

Thanks for the update on the numbers as well!

ZFrontier will be giving away some artisan caps made by Gen.s and anyone who joins the buy through ZFrontier, kono and mykeyboard.eu has a chance to win them.

A total of 3 caps to be raffled, one for each vendor. The other caps will only be available for purchase for group buy participants who get their set from the official vendors, here are some samples (excluding the red cap):

I bought the Kira from Kickstarter and this is the keyset I have been waiting for since I missed out on the first one. If I want to cover the Kira am I correct that I would need the Alphas, TKL, numpad, and non-standard/40s? I also want the novelties, would that be enough to replace the TKL?

Thank you for supporting both Kira and Troubled Minds. You will need Alphas, TKL, numpad and non-standard, the novelties won't replace TKL.

The Non-Standard kit with green mods mockup shows two R1 \| keycaps (green and purple). There are none in the PurpMods kit mockup whose Non-Standard part appears to be identical, apart from these two keys, to that of the Non-Standard kit with green mods.

Is that a render oversight or will there actually be no purple R1 \| for split backspace layouts in the PurpMods kit?

We really need some indication of where the prices are going to end up. Transparency helps a lot -- supply/demand curve and all that.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's holding off on buying multiple kits until there's some indication that the final price for a keyboard's worth won't be a few hundred dollars... (Edit: at the current price, I don't think it's a stretch to hope for a break given the prices or other recent SP re-runs).

For those that are interested in moq numbers and where the drop currently sits in regards to whether a price drop will be achieved, I'd like to pose to you a question. Does it really mater what the numbers are?
As per OP's post, 5 dollars will be deducted at moq 250 from the alpha and tkl kits. Price drops for the other kits are seemingly negligible. I priced out my kit and it comes to 200+ dollars. So if both tkl and alphas got a price drop (10 bucks) that's less than 10% of my total cost estimate.

I'm not trying to be offensive, but rather pragmatic. I was in a similar boat as many of those wondering what moq we were currently sitting at, but at the end of the day, even with a price drop, this set (although it is beautiful) is too rich for my blood :(

Now if there are further drops at let's say 500 moq, that may be a different story.

It is an oversight and we'll probably add this 1u |\ key to the Alphas, but I'll have to discuss this with the vendors first.

For the current numbers, I will ask for an update from kono.

What sets would be necessary to cover the Rama M60-A?


I wish the sets on the buy site showed the sizes in every set so I could easily check for myself. Maybe it's a matter of knowing that certain kits match specific standards, but as someone new, I'd feel more comfortable if I could confirm everything myself by checking against my own keymap.


So far I'm thinking, alphas and non-standard? Or do I need to buy TKL just for an enter and tab key? Does non-standard include a 7u space bar? It's not labeled, so I can't tell.

Hello! I'm new here, but I'm about to join the GB for the keycaps and I was wondering: what are the chances that I won't receive a numpad if I order one? I'm not sure if I understood it correctly, but is it true that if majority of the orders were for the TKL/Alphas/Novelties that I may just be refunded the price for the numpad and not receive one? Thank you in advance for all replies.

Group Buy Update!

I am back from my wild adventures in China - apologies for the delay on posting this update.

First - we have hit the drop points for Alphas and TKLs. The prices will be adjusted today, and people who have participated in the group buy should receive refunds for those two sets. Everyone will receive a $5 refund per Alpha or TKL set that they purchased.

Second - two other sets have vastly outperformed what we expected - Novelties and Non-Standard. We are going to provide the same sort of $5 refund per purchase, and lower the prices by $5 as well for all future orders. As an example - If you purchased one 2x Alphas, 2x TKLs, and one Novelties Set, you would receive a $25 refund. There are several hundred orders to process this refund for, so please be patient.

A few additional housekeeping tidbits. We are going to be adding a 1u pipe key (| \) to the Alphas set. This will not affect the price.
We will be announcing a giveaway shortly from Kono for one person to win a Troubled Minds set with a custom artisan made specifically for this group buy, as well a custom sleeve contributed by Mykeyboard.eu. Winners will be able to pick their sleeve size.



Remember - if you are joining from China or Europe, please check out the awesome proxies for Troubled Minds!
ZFrontier (the Chinese proxy) - https://www.zfrontier.com/m/3594
Mykeyboard.eu (the European proxy) - https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/category/group-buys/sa-troubled-minds_45/


Pictured below are some sweet renders of the Purple Mods - for your consideration!

So sad Enter/Tab is not in Non-Standard... I wish people can just fill their "non-standard" boards with just alpha + non-standard, not having to spend additional $60 to buy TKL for two keys (tab and enter). I mean, which "non-standard" keyboards don't have enter and tab keys? People shouldn't have to buy a TKL set to fill their non-standard set. TKL is for TKL, and non-standard is for non-standard.

I understand what you're saying, but TKL is for standard builds and non-standard is meant to fill in the gaps for whatever non-standard keyboard one might have, not really intended as a mod kit on its own.

The SA Pulse drop that just ended included these with their Hobbyist kit for just the reasons mentioned here, I think. It's such a nice idea, and I hope it catches on. I imagine there are a good number of people for whom this would mean the difference between a buy and a pass, financially. Plus it just seems to make sense conceptually once you see it done that way.

I understand some people's frustration with the kits, I tried to accommodate most requests during the interest check so it's not like the kits were put together randomly as some people imply. It's been suggested a couple of times, but changing anything now is impractical like you said. I apologize  for the curt reply, but I wanted to make it clear to everyone (not you specifically) that saying "I'm not joining because of x" won't change anything.

In for alphas and purpmods. So exccited for this set. Would appreciate knowing if purpmods reached moq?

kono told me they plan to have all the kits made, and purple mods is almost at MOQ but we don't have updated numbers from all vendors yet.
Awesome! I would've liked to get another set with the green mods but buying the tkl for just enter and tab would make it too expensive, haha. And then novelties would've been required too :D

Really like the DIE and white joker key too but there are so many keys that doesn't make sense with purpmods, but it keeps the overall cost under 200$ which is my mental limit of feeling that i spent to much haha

I’m in for all except Nordeuk and colverak. Trying to decide if I should buy extra novelties or extra alphas. Extra novelties would insure more coverage for more keyboards while extra alphas will allow another keeb to be covered. I used to have three keebs on my desk at all times(full size, Infinity Ergodox, Preonic). These days I have cut down to one and rotate depending on my mood! Maybe I’ll go back to two keebs since I currently have two alphas in my cart. I know for sure I’ll be replacing my full size keeb with the Kira I ordered. Something tells me novelties is usually what is harder to come buy. Ughhh tough call.

The Group Buy window for Troubled Minds is closing today. Due to heavy interest in the set, as well as several kits not reaching the MOQ specified by our internal pricing model, we are going to be keeping Troubled Minds available for purchasing beyond today. Our plan is to place an order with Signature Plastics for approximately 125% of the total group buy orders made by end of day today. We will then put hard inventory caps on each of the keycap kits, meaning when they run out, they are gone until the next group buy (which may be a while!).

In addition, at midnight tonight (PST), we will be raising the prices on the kits by $5 per set for Alphas, Novelties, Non-Standard, Purple Mods and TKL sets and $3 per set for all remaining kits.

A few housekeeping notes about Group Buys in general. Please be aware that once we place the purchase order, we do in fact transfer money to Signature Plastics to begin production. This means that after Monday, we will have essentially finalized the order and are committing to produce that many keycap sets.

TLDR: If you are having second thoughts about buying this set, please have them by midnight tonight.

For all Kono orders, please contact support@kono.store.

We have communicated with both zFrontier and mykeyboard.eu and believe that they will be offering the same as we are on Kono.

I've made a place of GB of this awesome keycap in konostore

I have 2 questions:
I'm from Vietnam, I would like to ask should I buy from zfrontier or konostore in order to get the keycap quicker and easier?
Which profile of keycap will be produced? Sorry, I did not join 1st stage of this GB before

the profile of the keycaps will be SA.
as for the which vendor to buy from, in terms of cost, I'm not sure it makes a difference for vietnam because vietnam is in the ASEAN economic group, which I believe China isn't, so there's probably still VAT either way.
in terms of convenience I think from konostore will be easier and quicker in that case because it doesn't  ship twice (USA->China->Vietnam).~

Just trying to help because these are last minutes, my answers are not fact, just speculation :p

Now we just need a really nice desk pad!

KBDFans had one back in April (so most people buying this set missed it anyway), which would have been amazing if it did not have any quotes/text on it, and maybe a bit more premium like with an edge stitch to better match the set.

Might be putting the cart before the horse here, but PM me if you’re in the US, you got the purple mods, and would be potentially interested in trading the three eva novelties for the seventeen joker novelties in the novelties kit next year (I’ll message back around shipping time)

Surprisingly you can still buy them on Kono. Most of the kits are available. I am not too fond of the mods, but just join the GB for Alphas and Numpad, will combine them with contrasting mods from other sets (will look great with Symbiosis mods). Still on track to be delivered in March 2019.

Im really glad that kono ordered extras and let us keep ordering after the initial buy closed. Initially I only bought alphas, mods, and novelties but my plans have changed a bit since then so it was a blessing to be able to grab the non-standard and numpad kits off of there.

From kono update:

SA Troubled Minds
Signature Plastics reached out to provide some details about an unexpected challenge. “The resin was stuck in the Polar Vortex in the Midwest for 4 days and now we are buried under 2 feet of snow [and the office is closed], but it should be no longer than a week.” If you didn’t know, that region of the US experienced -40 F / -40 C or lower temperatures. We’re glad their team chose to stay safe.

Hang tight everyone — the caps should be finished very soon!

From the most recent Kono Store weekly update:

"SA Troubled Minds
Signature Plastics has completed production! The set will be shipped to us today from SP’s facility in Oregon.

Due to high volume of sales, we were able to do a second production run that will be completed much faster than typical SP production times: batch two will be done by middle of April. All groupbuy backers and most pre-sale buyers will be getting their keycaps from the original shipment, whereas those who most recently purchased the set will get theirs fulfilled in the second batch."

I bought in the very day it opened, still no tracking.. I believe they are still sorting

They just updated 3/21

Quote
Signature Plastics has shipped us the orders and they have arrived at the warehouse this week. Fulfillment for backers and the majority of first-come-first-serve buyers will start early next week.

No, they updated it slightly to say that they have received the caps at their own warehouse and that they will be shipping out early this week. Hopefully shipping notifications will start flowing soon.

Yay! I got an alert from Fedex and it’s coming from Utah where Kono warehouse is located.  :eek:  Crossing my fingers that nothing is missing when I get it. For now, I’m so excited. Thought I’d check in and let this thread know.

I know right. This drop felt like a super long wait compared to other SA drops I joined. Maybe cause I really like this theme.  Mine says it’s supposed to arrive Monday, but I’ll check in again when they arrive.  Hope you get an alert from Fedex soon.

I'm international, so it's probably going to be a little longer for me. SP group buy waits are brutal, that's for sure.

Just got shipping info for the first portion of my order which has my alphas, mods, and novelties in it. Looks like I might be waiting till april for my numpad and non-standard kits which I ordered a couple months back though.

Edit: Yup, Kono confirmed my other kits will ship out of batch two.  :thumb:

ETA: In the heat of the moment I forgot to as well thank Thesiscamper for this wonderful theme. Hope everyone gets their sets safely with nothing missing. I'm off to explore these on my keebs. This has been a long wait, but worth it, and it was a fun group buy.

Same here and also SA Pulse, SA Carbon was the only nightmare I had with replacements for the rolling bones kit with some marbling on some keys in that set upon close inspection (MD did send me extra replacements for the wait I had to endure). Yes I’m going crazy deciding. I think I’ll start with Thesiscamper’s Kira.  ;D

Bought from Kono, arrived safe, but mods had two green F11's, no green F5. I'm not terribly picky, but there's no purple F5-F8. Other than writing Kono Store, what does one do here?

Anyone else out there with no F11's and two F5's?

The purple F5 to F8 keys are only included with the all purple mods kit. For the duplicate and missing keys, there's not much to do other than seeking support from kono, I'm sure they will make it right. This is probably a sorting issue on Signature Plastic's side.

Please contact zFrontier. The agreement as far as I know is SP will sort all the caps before shipping to vendors.

Has contacted. But no any fulfill ETA for my missing! I am very disappointment with zFrontier service.

Compared to it, I have joined SA Pulse R3 gb at the same time. I found that 1 keycap was missing in Alpha kit. MD shipped missing one within 1 months.

Thanks again for re-running this set! It was my unicorn for quite a while.

Most of my caps are here and none are missing (my numpad and non-standard kits will be shipping from batch two). Im very happy with them though, will be happier once my numpad matches. :)

What font did end up on the keycaps? The actual labels look different from the mock-up images and the italic on the 'ß' key is somewhat jarring.

Also, is it normal to not have a R2 'Z' key in the international kit (you know, like ze Germans use it)?

Ducky mini is standard layout so you'd need alphas + (TKL or Purple Mods)
