Full Colevrak alphas is a no brainer day 1 purchase
In for full Colemak alphas! Also, where can I find the deskmats?Good question, looking into it
Excited for this. I’m likely in but would be for sure in if there was a back tick/tilde key for the upper left corner of the ergo set.
Edit:correcting autocorrect
Any ideas when EU link will be live?
Any chance of making the roman numerals the column novelties?
In for a set!personally voting for backspace or bksp - bspace or bs don't look good to me
Suggestion: the R3 BackSpace kinda looks out of place because the legend is too long, would you consider changing to "BSpace" or just "BS" like other sets?
I'm certainly interested in this set, but I'm still figuring out what kind of profile I actually enjoy typing on. I've gone from OEM to DSA to Cherry, and Cherry has very clearly been the best so far. I type faster, more accurately, and it just feels and sounds great. DSA is... weird. I get more inaccuracy, but I enjoy the texture and feel a lot. I've also tried some SA on meetups, and for those short sessions I've very much enjoyed typing on SA. The question is how close KAT will be to DSA, as opposed to SA, in terms of how it feels to type on for longer periods.
Anyone who has used KAT for long periods and can give an overview of how it felt going from Cherry or SA profiles?
For how long will this run?
Hyper7 R3 IC thread (which uses this keycap set) - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=105497.0
So to fit a 60% board you could do the grey alphas and mono mods? So its only $60 for a 60% then? Or how would I fill my board?
KAT is really a pleasure to type on, very thocky and resonant. A lot like SA but more chonk I guess. All profiles take some time to get used to, and it is more like SA than Cherry as the profile is spherical rather than planar like cherry. There's a lot of videos on Youtube that you can use to judge the sound profile though!
Is font thickness decided? :rolleyes:

What do you mean? The font is part of the gaphics design we've completed, so yes?
We talked about a lot of this on Discord, but here's a summary of what alterations you should probably make to the Ergo kit before it goes to the factory:

Even just getting the thumb cluster 1u keys switched to R2 instead of R1 would be a huge improvement.We talked about a lot of this on Discord, but here's a summary of what alterations you should probably make to the Ergo kit before it goes to the factory:

I saw your post. I'll make it a point to discuss this with the team tonight and see if there's something we can do or not.
Quick little update! The deskmats are almost available. They will be priced at $20 on mkultra's site and will ship separately from the keycaps. We're working with the proxies to get them desk mats but do not know if they will have them at this time.
We've also got some good movement on kit numbers, dvorcol will have a new graph up soon! Thank you all so much for the support thus far and I can't wait to see what the next 2 weeks bring!

Was hyped to order them together with the keycaps at Mykeyboard :'(

Really great looking set! I'm pretty new to this whole custom keyboard stuff, but I'm looking forward to using these.
I did have one question though, why not set the single legends in the north/south kits to be the same size and in line with the regular alphas? I'm not sure if I'm making enough sense, so here's a few pics

Looks great,
One show stopper for me, I use an Icelandic layout and in the "North ISO" kit the "þ" and "ð" caps have lower letter glyphs, they should be "Þ" and "Ð" instead.
Same things for french layout, the accentued letters are minus for exemple on 2, 7, 9, 0, % keys on a french keyboard
On second (and third thought) we have decided to update the kit as shown here:
Wow what an amazing update - I hope this sets the standard going forward for kat kits. No R2 Enter though?
Sadly, based on your earlier statement, I ordered around it, instead equipping another board (in for colemak, ortho mods, novelties and numpad). I’m afraid I can’t justify picking up this revised ergo kit.
Yea, still waiting for the deskmats to go live on Mykeyboard before placing my order.
Will the deskmats available on other vendors like ZF?

We're well over MOQ guys! Also the Hyper7 r3 group buy is open so please head over and check that out. The KAT Space Cadet set is the only set compatible with this new run!!!

Any updates on this? Will the alphas without sublegends on the North/South kits be changed to the same size and position as the other alphas with sublegends?

I'm interested in this set but not quite sure with the real life hue of the blue.... Could anyone point me to sample picture or colour code of the blue used for this set please?

Why is the R5 Del key not in the 60%+ mods? That is the only reason why I'm not buying this. It would have covered 75% if it was in that kit. :(

Its in the numpad kit. Decisions have to be made with kitting when broken out of a giant kit (like say gmk does). You could always buy the numpad kit take the key you want and flip the rest.
Logic being that R5 delete is mostly used in 1800 boards. So if you're buying it, then you'll mostly need a numpad.Why is the R5 Del key not in the 60%+ mods? That is the only reason why I'm not buying this. It would have covered 75% if it was in that kit. :(

It will be color matched to the existing SP Symbiosis 2.0 keyset

btw, who's the manufacture this round ??

All KAT and KAM keysets are manufactured by Keyreative
In the ISO FR kit, the <> and *µ keys should be blue as they take the spot of the left shift and the enter keys. It should also include a 2u backspace as it is mandatory for every ISO FR layout

I guess 75% layouts are just not popular enough to be considered.
In the ISO FR kit, the <> and *µ keys should be blue as they take the spot of the left shift and the enter keys. It should also include a 2u backspace as it is mandatory for every ISO FR layout
<> and *µ keys from french kit should be blue like the mod keys because they occupy the spot of a mod key, if they are grey, the blue triangles formed by the mod keys wont be triangles anymore, with some grey keys in the middle, it would be uglyExactly 0 ISO layouts have done this.
the problem for the backspace key is that it has to be 2u in french layouts, even the most compact one, so you have to buy the 60 mods kits even for small buildsVery confused about what about French makes it any different in backspace size to any other national layout - additionally, how many "small builds" provide support for the apparently compulsory 2u backspace?
If you keep those keys grey, a french build would look like this :Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/PUMYxIm.jpg)
It totally f*cks up the blue diagonal pattern and looks awful. And they did it for the ² key which is a character key sitting in a mod spot too, so why not for the <> and the *µ which are also in mods spots ?
And because of the ISO enter key, the backspace has to sit on the top row, and on the french layout there is only 2 special characters keys after the 0 key, so you usually put a 2u backspace (where the | \ and the hand keys are on the picture above)

I'm new to the custom keycaps scene but i'm an emacs junkie of many years and very much want to get in on this.
I have an Ergodox EZ that I bought premade from https://ergodox-ez.com/ .
Do i understand it correctly that I should order ONLY the "Ergo Legends" set? Or are more keys required? I've found it pretty challenging to figure out what combinations of which sets I'd need, and would love some guidance.
Will there be extras after GB fulfillment?
Perfect. And when mkultra says "do not add other items to cart" it means that exactly those two sets should constitute my order and nothing else, right? (this is extremely helpful, thank you)

All Space Bars Are Convex Except 1.75u
I have a question, not intended as criticism at all, how did the novelties and up almost the same price as alphas? Is it more expensive to dye somehow?The alpha kit is 54 units (51*1u + 2*1.5u), and the novelties are 52.5 units (26*1u + 6*1.25u + 6*1.5u + 2*1.75u + 1*2u + 2*2.25u). This means that the kits will likely use a similar amount of plastic to make.
Entered the group buy at the last moment with Grey Alphas, 60+ Mods and Yellow Accent!
First GB, is it the start of the slippery slope?

Do you mean the spacebars kit? Wouldn't everything in that kit be convex, otherwise it would just be a blank not a spacebar? Also, do you mean the only convex caps in this set are in the spacebars kit? How about the ortho mods kit you mentioned earlier? Or do you mean all the grey blanks in every kit except 1.75u?

Every space bar in every kit is convex except 1.75u which they have no convex mold for. I'm sorry I don't know how to be any more clear.
Hi everyone. This will be my first time to order a keycap in a group buy.
Would a set of gray alphas, 60s mods, and a numpad cover my 96 keyboard layout?

Just want to double check before the GB closes, to fill TKL such as Rama U-80 I just need to pick the base + alpha right?
Well boys I dun messed up. I got blue alphas and didnt realize that there is no blue spacebar in the mods kit. Would have needed to get the spacebar kit...
Thoughts on all blue with a grey spacebar?

Massive is a bit of an exaggeration - yes, there appear to be some issues, as there are bound to be with a very new profile. Remember Space Cadet is not set to ship until December and that is a lot of time for keyreative to assess, and implement changes to their production. We will see many additional sets shipped before ours so we can continue to monitor the quality situation. You can be confident that Alas, MKUltra and I will strive to deliver the best quality product we (and keyreative) can.
I couldn't find this anywhere--what is the colour code for the yellow accents? I need to coordinate!
In the IC thread we had a poll for colors and we voted to be colormatched with the SA Symbiosis kit and not with the original Space Cadet keyboard, so I guess also the yellow accent kit is colormatched with the Symbiosis. In that case, this is the legend from the r2.Show Image(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1994/3097/products/colors_900x600.jpg?v=1554081346)

wait, what? "to be colormatched with the SA Symbiosis kit and not with the original Space Cadet keyboard" ??
but this GB thread started with the saying "The KAT Space Cadet colors will be color matched to an original Space Cadet keyboard", right under Details.
I have a Hyper 7 R2 and completely missed out on this GB! Any chance of extras on the H7 kit? I hesitate to say I'll pay anything, but I'll kinda pay anything. :)
Any news regarding the GB status will be sent here? First GB for me, not entirely sure how it works around here. (:
roughly 8 more sets to ship so we're looking at next year but It'll be worth the wait.From the fall to next year? That's a huge difference!

Here is to hoping that we can hit delivery within one year of the GB ending!With the current queue of outstanding KAT sets. I sadly don't think this will be a reality. I think we are still a few sets to go before this one will hit production, then QC, then ship. I'd be happy with a q3 ship date at this point. Unless keycreative can suddenly ramp up. I did hear they're trying to increase manpower to keep up w so many sets.
Is it known whether all the 2u caps for the Hyper 7 kit are 2-post or 3?
Some others have been getting their boards and picked up the DSA Ferrous H7 kit, all of the 2u keys for that are only 2-post. I'll hopefully be getting mine soon and would like to figure out how to build it to work with this set

Nothing official from Keyreative but i use https://keycaplendar.firebaseapp.com/?page=previousBy the way, using the filter drawer you can create a filtered URL, such as https://keycaplendar.firebaseapp.com/?page=previous&profile=KAT&shipped=Not-shipped ;)
Filter on KAT, and filter on Not Shipped, and you can see the chronological order of releases pretty easily. Should give a good indication of how things are going to move, and they don't look like they're moving very quickly at all. With so many kat sets each month, this is going to be a problem for a while.

For the best idea of what the production queue might look like, sort by end date. It'll still be slightly inaccurate - for example, Specimen got made earlier because it was able to colour match during its IC period.
Is this set in production, or still on Keyreative queue waiting?
Is anything in production at keyreative lately? It seems like, from the last update at zfrontier, things are pretty much halted (yet people keep running more KAT and KAM sets...).
Current production status:
- Injecting Drifter and Arctic (Arctic’s base keycaps were being re-injected with minor adjustments to the plastic ingredient formula)
- Packing Lich. ETA: Mid Jan
- Dye-subbing Oasis. Regular dye-sub done, air dye-sub ongoing. ETA: Mid Feb
You're right, they do have stuff ongoing, they're just really slow.
According to the updates on the respective sites, here is what I found:
Oasis production is complete. Should be shipping from the factory soon.
Lich is now estimated this month. Even with CNY, that's another big delay.
Wraith is estimated this month.
Arctic is expected next month.
Drifter is expected in May.
Lucky Jade and Atlantis are both just expected in "Q2".
I expect Space Cadet only after all of those.
I don't think I'm being too pessimistic to suggest that keyreative can't really handle more than one set a month. If that's the case, despite the above estimates, I wouldn't expect Space Cadet before August or September.
I'd agree 100% with your prediction, q3 seems much more of a realistic expectation at the rate sets are pumping out.

If the update MacSurfy got turns out correct, we can expect KAT Space Cadet earlier than the ETA of August/September for their KAT Refined.

Easy. Just keep taking orders (with payment) and extending out ship dates. In the beginning I picked up multiple sets from them (via GB) but now I won't touch any new ones until they start shipping them. IN the mean time I have bought and received multiple epbt sets.

Apparently Keyreative are refusing to take new orders for reverse dyesub sets. The extra QC involved seems to be the main cause of the slow lead times. I was told to reduce the number of reverse dyesub kits for a KAT set I'm working on, for example.

Easy. Just keep taking orders (with payment) and extending out ship dates. In the beginning I picked up multiple sets from them (via GB) but now I won't touch any new ones until they start shipping them. IN the mean time I have bought and received multiple epbt sets.
Apparently Keyreative are refusing to take new orders for reverse dyesub sets. The extra QC involved seems to be the main cause of the slow lead times. I was told to reduce the number of reverse dyesub kits for a KAT set I'm working on, for example.
Wow that would be an interesting turn of events. That was a huge selling component. One day I will get one of the many sets I ordered and can see if the profile alone is worth investing in more sets.
Awesome. I'm definitely interested in preordering extras when they become available.

Not sure who your local vendor is, but preordered extras went live on MKUltra last night.

FFFFFFFFF Totally missed this and needed a spacebar kit to get a blue spacebar. :/

Seems like preorders are still up I just ordered my kit for extras tonight.
Gotta say, I don't think I'll ever buy something made by Keyreative ever again. Kat production has been such a **** show.

Its not ideal for sure. I am not ready to write them off because it still seems like some progress is being made. I do feel this way about JTK though. No updates and massive delays.

Keyreative has a ton of catching up to do for sure, but you just have to look at the great reception of the latest KAT Alpha and Kitty KAT sets to see that they've made big leaps in quality recently. I don't have any doubt that Smol Cadet will be great too! Hang in there folks, we're almost home.
Latest update from MKUltra says "in production. currently addressing an issue with homing keycaps"(https://i.imgur.com/mQk9QTs.png?1)
Is there anyone who can elaborate on that?
Damn in term of communication we have : mildew on the wall, a mess in the room ... They could have at least take this picture from a different side :-X
Just heard from Keyreative, they're making scoops.
Also, Kitting is underway!

But can I ask what kitting actually is? Are they making the trays or what am I missing? :D

Because the alphas are reverse dye sub, not unlike Wraith, the bar homing keys have halos, but the more detrimental issue is that the legends appear on top of the homing bar itself. We've asked if we can get duplicated scooped homing keys as well as the bars (scoops without bars, and normal bar). Scooped homing was not available when we ran the buy or we would have done that from the beginning. We're still waiting on a response from Keyreative since June 1st.
Excuse my ignorance but I don't understand what a scooped homing key is. Does this mean there will be a fixed version of the homing keys with a bar that doesn't cover the legends or just a duplicated homing key that doesn't have a bar at all? I'm good either way as long as I get a homing key that doesn't have a bump in the middle of the legend.

Here are some pics, red one is GMK and the gray one is KAT.
From my measurement the KAT ones are about 0.5mm shorter than the GMK one,
and you have to press quite hard to fully fit the KAT spacebar into the stems of the stabilizer.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/BrGLc9T.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/jXyCtqi.jpg)

Out of curiosity, are you measuring stem-to-stem? Because that minor difference in length of the body of the bar isn't particularly relevant to whether it fits on the stabs. However, if the stems for mounting don't match up, that'd be good to know.
I have noticed that KAT tends to fit very tightly on stems in general, and you may want to lubricate your stabilizers a bit more to compensate, should that tightness be impeding the return.

Also, the US South does not have the Spanish European keys
for reference:Show Image(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/KB_Spanish.svg)
thanks a lot for clarifying, I'm new and don't know very well how the GBs timing work.
regarding the ES keyboard.. not really, in Spanish keyboard the first key in R4 for SOUTH ISO has the symbols: "º", "ª" and "\" for example, but this one only has "º" and "ª", i think \ is enough important for being there.
that that's just an example, others are the number 4 (should have 4,$ and ~) and number 6 (should have 6, & and ¬)... there are a few more... so honestly not.. Spanish European (or Spanish from Spain) is not really complete.
Anyone ordered from Mykeyboard? Can't see tracking information yet, wondering if this is normal.
This is normal for them.

None of the proxies have received their sets. The orders going out right now are for Chinese locals only. MKUltra's sets are on the way, slowly. I cannot speak for the other vendors but I suspect they're in the same boat.
Does the tracker say anything about ETA ?

I know that some vendors are doing minimums to the UK. Does he ship if you buy more extras? You could always flip the excess.
anyone knows the status of MKUltra's sets?
it's said on the way to warehouse like a month ago,
thanks.
Mine arrived from MyKeyboard on Friday. I only ordered the mono alphas (to combine with other sets).
I have to say some of the legend alignment is pretty yikes. Here are some of the worst keys:

It's GB, no refunds are usually allowed.
Just hope you're lucky and if not -- sell it for GB price on r/mm

It is not a value or volume issue but an issue with their payment and delivery processor over leaving the EU. Apparently they are trying to resolve the issue soon but I fear any extras will be long gone. If anyone wants to PM me to help with adding the Hyper 7 kit to their order, I would pay for delivery to them and me?

Dont want to create a wave of protest but imagine you are really dissatisfied with this alignment.
Is is possible to ask for a refund ? Or is this not allowed ?
Mine just arrived Yesterday from MyKeyboard.
FRench kit, Alpha kit and modifier.
No misalignment problem for me.
One thing strange, i'm waiting for atlantis kit too that was, in theory, previous in "fabrication order"

KAT Atlantis has been switched to doubleshot by Keyreative, along with KAT Explosion and KAT Mizu, which has moved them out of the dye-sub queue and into a queue all of their own.

Yes I measured stem-to-stem.
I also tried two different boards, same results, while GMK and SA ones are just fine.
What's the current status of the US orders?
MKUltra’s latest email said the ship got to port and that shipping should hopefully commence early this month.
On MKUltras GB-Website they are saying the estimated shipping date is now 30th November...
https://mkultra.click/gb-kat-space-cadet (https://mkultra.click/gb-kat-space-cadet)
I’m fairly certain the website has said that for a long time. I’d trust the email more.
What ETA did the Email mention?

How many folks who pre-ordered from MKU have received their orders? I answered the "confirm your address" email and was told that they "marked [my] order ready to go....A month ago. No tracking info, no status change on the website, no follow up from them over 2 weeks ago after I asked if everything is okay.Email Sebastian at mkultra. He's been quick to respond to issues from my experience.
Did anyone else experience this or has everyone gotten their stuff already? I'd be sad if the GB fails for me at the 1 yd line.
Got my sets yesterday (Blue alphas, grey alphas, mods and spacebar kits) and did a live unboxing. There are definitely issues with the 7u spacebar + Retooled cherry stabs. The spacebars have a difficult time returning and get stuck. Likely due to the shrinkage from the dye subbing process.
6.25u were fine.
7u spacebar + durock stabs were fine when i tested off stream. Spent about 2 hours unboxing and scrutinizing the sets, if you want to see the VOD it's here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1200299798
Link directly to my spacebar review here with demo on the issues with returning on 7u.

They got like 3 GBs worth of stuff in at one time so they are still making their way through everything. It's slow going but they did set the ship date as November 30th so you should have tracking by then.
