Hi SiegeTowers,
I joined this GB yesterday. and i just saw the shipping using DHL. is it possible to use registered mail instead of DHL? or is there other options?
because in Indonesia DHL have very bad reputation, they charged me with extra cost that more than the value of the package itself.
please just use cheaper service. i don't mind if take longer to arrive.

Hi there friend. Don't worry. Shipping is a hundred percent free all over the world. No need to worry about shipping fee. You cancontact me orz frontier if such problems emerge. ;)
will the keys be glossy or matte? i think this would look much better glossy :)
Hi Siegetowers!
Are we too late to add some keys to make this set more compatible with 60% layouts??
I mean: R2 1.5 units backspace and tilde/backslash in blue, plus R3 1.0 units ctrl, alt and fn and/or R4 1.0 units fn.
Last ask: a couple of "accent" keys in an alternative yellow/orange (esc and enter) would turn this in the perfect ultimate set (my personal taste......)
Great one anyway.....

Hi there sputnik. I'm sorry to inform you that such changes are kind of impossible as of the moment. Maxkeys refused to add certain keys because they still haven't done the molds for them. Also just went for simpler colors to avoid over complicating the set. That being said, i hope you still support this group buy. That's all and have a nice day!

Thanks for your reply, I tought they had the molds to make those keys, see Maxkey SA Calm Depths GB Here on Geekhack.....

Got word from zfrontier.
"I have talked with boss of Maxkey. He said there is only one finish. Could you confirm that there has been a set with different finish? We may consult him again if you know exactly the set and the finish is different. Thanks! "
i sent him the GH GB page of lime. will wait for his reply.

maxkey's boss confirmed that "semi-gloss" and "matte" are the same claiming that they only have 1 kind of finish :)
Yeaah. They said that they can do a glossy finish, but it has to be for a light set. They don't want to do a non matte finish for a dark colored set.
My first group buy! I'm super stoked about these!

yes, but please if it possible don't use DHL. DHL in Indonesia is a corrupt company you always have to pay extra fee to get your item even you already pay the shipping cost. especially if they know the value of the item.
i bought 3 t-shirts($20 each) from valve official store with shipping cost and they still charge me $30 extra.
friend of mine bought some item around $150 include shipping and they charge him $70 again here.
i hope there will no problem. but if it possible to use other shipping method i'll very glad.
thank you.

I have bought 3 keysets from Zfrontier now, and I haven't been charged any extra for either of them yet. I'm not saying it can't happen but it hasn't happened to me yet at least.
Sometimes I get charged with items from the US either by DHL or customs office here in Denmark, but so far no problems from ZF.
My first group buy! I'm super stoked about these!
Glad to be the one who pops ur cherry ;) :)) :))
Is there are way to keep track of how many sets have been ordered so far?
Awesome, thanks. 37 seems okay for the first week right?Is there are way to keep track of how many sets have been ordered so far?
Well i try to update the thread everytime there's an increase in the current order quantity but you can also check it out at http://www.zfrontier.com/m/3243. We are now at 37 sets.
Very interesting colorway. When does this GB close?
No at half MOQ!!!
There's still about two weeks to goNo at half MOQ!!!
Ruh roh. We're a long way short of this going ahead at all. :(
Half way is pretty good for this stage. Most people join close to deadline
now at 64 moq :)
Hi,
If the 100 MOQ step is exceeded, the price difference is refunded or the Card is bill only at GB close ?
Really hate GoT but this set looks too cool to fail. I'm in. let's crack 100Awesome!
I just found the following infomation from official zfrontier china,
"新版 MAXKEY 在之前的基础上改进了工艺,精度更高字符粗细更为一致。同时优化了字符间距,去掉 Backspace 中间的空格,并将 Escape 改为 Esc、Delete 改为 Del,使得整体效果更为简洁美观。"
And plain translation is,
‘The new version of MAXKEY improved on the basis of the previous process, the higher the accuracy of the characters more consistent. At the same time optimize the character spacing, remove the middle of the Backspace space, and Escape to Esc, Delete to Del, making the overall effect is more simple and beautiful.’
(Sorry, I'm lazy just google translate it)
From your render, it seems to be no such change, could you clarify this or more specific what actual legends will it be?
GB EXTENDED SO WE CAN HIT 200 MOQ!!!Woot! That's awesome
GB EXTENDED SO WE CAN HIT 200 MOQ!!!
GB EXTENDED SO WE CAN HIT 200 MOQ!!!
How far from 200 is the order count from?
I'm in! ;) ;)delivery time will still be january 2018 :)
Is the delivery time still in January 2018?
I noticed that http://www.zfrontier.com/m/3243 isn't showing the purchased amount anymore. Any where else we can see the amount?
Where are we at? :)
Where are we at? :)
1 DAY TILL DEAD LINE AND WE'RE AT 176
Do you think the MOQ will be reached anyway at this point?
I mean:
- 176 x $115 = $20.240
- $20.240 / $95 = ~213 sets
I mean even if by ourself we don't reach the goal (and with 1 day missing i doubt) will be worth anyway for them to buy the extra sets to reach the 200 MOQ.
That's also why we should have a commit button i guess, since many more people would join if the price was $95 instead of $115

I trust someone at zFrontier has figured this out too right?
https://cartel.ltd/sa-astro-maxkeys-postmortem/When was this posted? I have confidence that Zfrontier will handle the situation well if any issues arise.
This does not look positive at all :/

Old post from JuneYeah, because 5 months is a long time in keycap group buys :rolleyes: :))
Hi,Gateron and cherry have the same stem, so they fit fine :)
I've ordered this key caps and wondering how they will fit with Gateron switches? Do they fit perfectly? Or only MX fits them perfectly? Thank you.

GB has now ended. Waiting for an update from Zfrontier. I will keep everyone posted regarding the production of this set. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!
First time I joined a group buy for a keyset. Is it normal that it takes this long before we get an update about production/delivery?
Thanks for the message Siegetowers. Did you receive any product samples?
Its pretty normal especially since its only been about 2 months. There isn't much to say until they are about to ship out or are delayed.It's normal to have no updates at all yet when it's already the scheduled deliery month? :rolleyes:

It won't happen in January. Feel pretty confident about that much.
Thanks for the updates Siege. cant wait to receive the set.

It's waiting eagerly, but patiently to get dressed up ;)
Cool! Same case? What switches did you pick?

Thanks for the update anyway. Better to have these things confirmed than to be left with uncertainty.
Hi there. Sorry for the late update. ZF and I have been pretty busy just to find a solution over maxkey's short comings. They refused to start production until we give them physical color sampled of the colors when in fact before thestart of the gb they reassured us that they can match our colors given our existing data and files we sent them. I ordered abs chips from SP and had them sent to maxkey just to effin get it started. Everything's just really frustrating and what's more disappointing is they didnt even tell us earlier!! It took us a dozen of mails just to know that they're having problems. Again i am sorry for the delay but i promise everything will be done by zf and me just to make everything perfectly.
Many thanks,

Well... received this from ZFrontier this morning. Confirmation that production is not launched yet...
"Dear customer,
We are sorry to announce that Maxkey Night King has been delayed.
Maxkey was not able to replicate the exact colors from Seigetowers' design till now.
We are working closely with the designer and helping Maxkey's factory to produce the qualified color sample. Mass production will start once the color samples get passed.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you!
Best regards,
zFrontier Customer Care Team"
I Don't know if there are real life pictures of the fixed molds from MaxKey but I received a different set I ordered and thought you guys might find some pictures interesting. I Think this is a set with the fixed legends:
Been almost a month after the promised finishing of production. Still no reply from maxkeys.
Is Maxkeys in China?
Been almost a month after the promised finishing of production. Still no reply from maxkeys.
Been almost a month after the promised finishing of production. Still no reply from maxkeys.
Lesson learned with Maxkeys, I guess? This **** would never, ever fly with SP.
Yeah, I think it was sort of a big shift. For a while, SP had backlogs of YEARS, and tons of projects going through them... Then Maxkeys showed up and was like "Look what I can make for $100 in a few months!"... And then a lot more projects started going that way.
And last I heard, I think SP's SA backlog is down to 6 or 7 months...
Who knows... I'm not all that upset, though. It does suck that it's all so late, but at some point you just realize you're the passenger on the wild ride.
Zfrontier and I opted to just wait for the missing chips and asked SP to expedite the shipping.
I would say not wait as long as it's a close.
1) it's not like this set is targeting any kind of sacred palette. If you were making something in for example 'Carbon' or 'Penumbra' colours you would have a lot more expectation to nail the exact colours because people spend a lot on matching cases, artisans, cables etc. For this, if the colours don't match the renders 100% it's not the end of the world as long as they're reasonably close.
2) the closer it gets to the 180 day cut-off for Paypal disputes the more likely you are to see non delivery disputes / refund claims coming through. Especially considering original quoted timeline was around 2 months.
Is it too late for me to buy the set or a spot?
Thanks for the updates, Siege. I realize this drop hasn't gone the way you were hoping, but I appreciate the transparency.
Making physical things even with local manufacturers is difficult. Add in international comms and a market where demand is higher than supply and you have a realy tough job. This buy was closed by the time I saw it but you did great work. Hopefully round 2 will come along and be easier :)
No more updates on the colour samples which were supposed to be sent weeks ago?
I don't mean to put pressure on you personally but I'm getting close to lodging a Paypal dispute for refund against zFrontier because yours isn't the first group buy I've seen them seriously drop the ball with and it's too much money to just leave to chance with a company with such a consistently bad track record. The Paypal dispute window closes at the end of April for me.

Good news everyone!! Maxkey has finished its color sampling and they sent the sp color chips and the samples to zfrontier today. ZF will be receiving them by sunday and by that time they'll be asking me for confirmation and after that we're good to go!!That's great news! Now we just have to have our fingers crossed that they didn't mess up the colors!!
Good news everyone!! ZF have sent me the color samples. Here they are!!I approve :thumb:

Let me know what you guys think. I'll wait for a day to get your opinion after that if we're all good then we'll have everything started!!
So whats the new timeline? How long does production take?

Just filed a dispute / refund request with Paypal against zFrontier. I know SiegeTowers put a lot of effort into this but the dispute window is nearly closed and to be fair these were quoted at 3 months while it's now going on 6 months with still no actual signs of manufacturing even started. Even if it's ST's first time running a group buy like this, zFrontier really should have done more to get on top of things instead of letting it drag out in silence for so long.

Hey man. I know things didn't go really well with the scheduling of everything in this and I deeply apologize for that. Maybe my greatest fault in this was not updating the group for the lack or should i say non existent updates from either zfrontier or maxkey even though I email them on a regular basis. Maxkey didn't even inform me or ZF that they were having problems with regards to color sampling up until the end of February. Which was already too late to actually give me enough room to look for solutions. Even after providing alternate options or telling them about the order of color chips from SP, it wasn't until the second week of march that a different person from ZF sent me an email regarding a reassignment of a coordinator with the news about the receipt of the chips from SP. maybe the guy assigned to me before was underperforming. idk. Anyway, up to you man. If you really think waiting isn't worth it anymore then I'm really really sorry. Things didn't go according to plan. I still hope this set will be worth it for everyone.

Don't kick yourself too hard Seige, this was your first GB as a runner and there were some unusual circumstances surrounding it and the Chinese New Year didn't help the lack of communication. I don't disagree that it would of helped if you said there was no communication early on but since the initial update after that you have been phenomenal at updating us on this thread. What happened with this set was similar to how SP got backlogged I feel and honestly everyone in this hobby should be pretty patient regarding anything, we wait forever for a lot of stuff. I appreciate your communication and just want to let you know that you haven't done anything wrong with this buy. Keep it up man, I'm stoked for this awesome set!

Loving my set so far!
The only thing I am even remotely sort of bummed about is the lack of 1u R3 mod keys...
I don't really like the novelties, I know nothing about GOT, and don't really care for it.
Anyone want to trade my set of novelties for an arrow cluster kit?
I want to replace those 3 bottom row keys with something, and the 3 R3 arrows from the cluster would work.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/GGJeXYG.jpg)
