Got to be honest, not my favourite colour ways this time around.


I'm interested in the red and white, but I'm really not digging the Counter strike themed set. :/

Doubleshot spacebars are awesome, but while I like the CS GO one I don't understand why we are making free ads for Coca Cola.

I mean it's not like Coca Cola represents values to strive for, it's rather the opposite...


I'd much prefer a spacebar that said "Geekhack" or "CTRL ALT"  :thumb:

With a sufficient number of orders and recurring business they may well create such custom space bars.

You should do a "Geekhack" spacebar extravaganza set, so we'd have a matching "Geekhack" spacebar for every set out there  :p

because we need orders in order to add things to the set, so its constantly expanding, but it takes time

the more people support this, the bigger itll grow and more will be added each time

We will not have a problem, as long as we can retain the continuous support that the community has shown us  :)

There are quite a lot of differences between SKIDATA+ and this one, such as more compatibility support for different layouts, charcoal grey base keys instead of black, and German quality for example.
Someone who finds orange mods jarring might also prefer the OG Skidata colourway.

With the continuous support, I'm confident that SKIDATA+ will meet MOQ  :thumb:

Yep, you raise a very good point! I've been very aware of the problems (especially with the legends), and have been at the forefront of investigating, having conducted some keyboard science of my own to reveal the problems:
Keyboard Science: SKIDATA+ Edition (http://imgur.com/a/gsX65)

The problems discovered have been brought up with GMK in hopes of preventing such problems for SKIDATA+, and with some luck and perseverance, we expect to see a very good batch.  :thumb:

Anyway, I digress... I'm really looking forward to the Orange/Black set as well, especially with those CS:GO keys!  ;D

No doubt, with dat spacebar, I will finally beat Vesper and reach Global Elite.  :p

Edit: I think the two sets would complement each other really well, if anyone wants to mix em.

Dunno about mixing them, as I would imagine that the shades of black/orange between the two sets would be different to some degree. Possibly not though.

Apart from that, I don't see much difference at all between the two sets, except for SKIDATA+ using symbols for mods and JTK using text. With the price of the JTK set to be likely around half of the cost of a GMK set, I can imagine that there will be people that were committed to SKIDATA who will now most likely be purchasing the JTK set.

The whole point of mixing sets is that the shades have to be different. If you just make one set of orange mods and black alphas and the other the opposite way, the sets have no reason to exist individually!

I really love JTK and want a set, but I don't think either of these designs are for me unfortunately. Was hoping to get in on the 2nd GB but I already have a Red Alert that I'm happy with and the orange is a little too much for my tastes. Coca Cola sure is interesting though  :))

Really love the doubtshot spacebars, some really awesome possibilities there, and the quality looks fantastic. Hoping for a bit more of an understated design for the 3rd round  :thumb:

The whole point of mixing sets is that the shades have to be different. If you just make one set of orange mods and black alphas and the other the opposite way, the sets have no reason to exist individually!

Its about whether the orange colors match up across the sets. If you want to be colorblind, go ahead, but most people think it would look bad.

Not only that, the keys will feel completely different because DCS Profile is considerably thinner than those JT keycaps.
Title: Re: JTK Sophomore GB
Post by: BunnyLake on Tue, 29 September 2015, 06:30:42
so ill briefly address these comments regarding the ski data set

firstly, my only knowledge of the set at all was seeing the occasional forum avatar, whilst i do keep a good eye on the gb threads, i rarely if ever frequent the IC section of gh, whilst this timing may not be perfect, the road map for jtk is planned out a very long time in advance, and these colors and sets were planned before we ever let anyone know jtk was a thing, and ive been teasing parts of this set to friends including the spacebars for probably 6 + months at this point

so whilst these sets do look similar in mockups, i was not inspired in any way by that gb, and was simply looking to rerun nostalgia in a different and superior profile to before, and give it a new spin

now what may make this situation slightly worse, is much like the last jtk gb, we will also be offering reverse mods, so you can have a full orange and black set

all that being said, whilst i think the mockups may end up looking very similar, i think the end aesthetic results of the sets will be very different

i also dont think there will be any issues in numbers, gmk sells itself and both sets will be hitting the market at a considerably different pricepoint

there will always be a market for a premium product like gmk, and i have no doubt that if the set was going to hit MOQ before this, then it certainly will have no issue in doing so now this is revealed

its not my place to comment on the logos, they werent my choice, but i can say when running the gb, im not making any money at all from selling them, and they will remain completely seperate from being included in the keysets, and will be a separate pack in case any issues should arise

If you don't mind me asking Bunny, are the design choices a collaboration with JTK or do you tend to run your own respective designs? I'm guessing the orange and black is yours and maybe the red and orange white is JT's?

Has the mystery buy been addressed already?


Also, just throwing this out there, but do you have licensing for these logos? It would be my thought that these companies may defend their brands and I don't want jtk to suffer. Just playing Devils advocate, I love the work being done.

its not my place to comment on the logos, they werent my choice, but i can say when running the gb, im not making any money at all from selling them, and they will remain completely seperate from being included in the keysets, and will be a separate pack in case any issues should arise

edit: herp derp

so between my comment, this comment and a pm i got, i feel like i should elaborate a bit

i hope some people can read between the lines and work out what i can and cant say by how i say things

i do collaborate heavily with jtk

we speak and work at great lengths on the colour schemes and keys to be included etc, and what to add and when etc

we do all the art and mockups

i did not have input in the spacebars, aside from being asked for help with the designs

i do not agree with the use of copyright material, particularly for financial gain

however

at the end of the day, it is not my business, and this is what was wanted, its a very different culture

some of my feelings on what other users have done on this forum and in this community are very well documented, and whilst i agree legally there is little to no distinction to be made, i do think there is a big difference between someone making something using a logo for people to show there support or passion of a certain product or brand, in a field where they would otherwise not be able to, and stealing or copying something made and designed by somebody within our community

i do not make any money from these sets, and if i were to, i wouldnt be offering them, not that that makes a difference, but i do this work with jtk to help out a friend, and whilst i am facilitating the purchase of these sets, i only have so much control of the content, these are being offered and im extending that to the community

if this becomes a bigger issue, obviously i will take a look at what it happening here and the best course of action moving forward

Also, you may want to be careful with the logos. It's unlikely, but if Coca Cola or Valve did decide to complain about the IP infringement, the legal costs would be catastrophic even though your infringement is trivial. I'm not saying it's right but just be careful. We want to see you guys producing caps for a long time to come!

This is true, while it might not be a big deal when someone does a small run of like Dota-related artisan caps for instance, this is like a full manufacturing process and is subject to enough orders that I would seriously worry about copyright. Plus, if JTK got hit with a suit halfway through the production, they most likely would not be able to refund everyone. I don't want to be "that guy" and I know that you can't do anything Bunny, but I don't personally really feel safe joining this buy to be honest.

There's probably increased concern due to what happened with the Out Of the Vault GB, but that was SP (who is based in the US) being overly cautious and stopping the buy without explicit approval from Bethesda.

That was definitely due to them being based in the US.  They're actually held accountable to these laws, so they can't mess around with that.

My fears have been pretty much abated by the others in this thread, so I'm not worried about this actually happing, but just for future reference it's not true that being in China protects them. China is a member of WIPO and the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, and they also have a specific Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. regarding the protection of copyrights, so if Coke wanted to sue they technically could, although I agree that there's literally zero chance of that happening.

I know this is a long shot, but I'll go ahead and ask.
With the black and orange CS:GO set, is there any chance to get a 6.5u or 6u spacebar? I know I have a few friends that would love to get the set (with the doubleshot spacebar) for their “Gaming” keyboards.
Also if JTK were to offer spacebars for those keyboards, he would be one of the only manufactures doing it and that could help sell even more sets.

On I side note, I really wish that ISO enter keys were part of the new sets.

you arent even close

1 new mould costs thousands

unless you are talking about legends, in which case, a legend is relatively cheap with a company like sp, as they are tooled on a computer, whereas with jtk they are far more expensive, and made by hand

Once again, I understand that molds cost a butt-load of money.  However, I personally have no idea what JTK's bank roll is like and I was just wondering if they were entertaining the idea of making different profile keysets.  I wouldn't think they'd be interested in making anything new in the near future, but if they become extremely successful maybe they would consider expanding their product line somewhere in the distant future.

Just so we don't steer to far off topic, I love the orange/black set and will most likely be buying one.

winxp was released in 2001, that was 14 years ago. I'm sure there's kids on this forum who weren't even alive when XP was released. how's that for making you feel old?

You would think we would be able to find a better logo to put on that cap at this point anyway.  Who actually wants a Windohs logo on their keyboard?

If it would properly fit, that'd be perfect to put the CtrlAlt logo! I'd much rather that than the Win key. It's almost like we need the community to come up with a cool Super key design that we could all use. That'd be pretty interesting.

I'd be happy with just a geekhack key with the correct profile in that spot instead.

The problem with a cool new super key is the cost of tooling. The cherries would even be OK IMO. We would just need them in a 1.25 unit key.

Yeah, but a single key shouldn't be too bad. It's funny to see talk about tooling...my father retired 7 years ago from hand-making plastic injection molds for about 50 years. We actually have 2 machines and a bunch of material too. I've been trying to convince him to make some custom cap designs...

But back on track, I can't wait for the red and white set!

Thanks for the response, that is pretty exciting news that the plan is to reduce the cost even further! The price is already very competitive with GMK and it appears that the quality has surpassed them as well. I have nothing but high hopes for JTK caps, I can't wait to get my first of JTK caps.
Edit: Forgot to mention the doubleshot spacebars! Very excited to see these go into production as well.

Any reason for the old Windows legend, rather than the modern Windows 8/10 logo? I was never a fan of the wavy windows. I'm using mostly modifiers with written legends as a whole, I dislike the wavy windows logo so much  :p

Yea, I too much prefer the newer Windows 8/10 logo.
However, I'm still thankful that they do provide a proper Windows logo keycap instead of just themed ones found in some keysets.

This is accurate given what I know.  BunnyLake is trying to get the first round of JTK caps out and that buy all wrapped up before opening this one.  His wife is expecting any day now though, so in all likelihood he will drop off the face of the earth for at least a week once she goes into labor...

And F J with bars too? This shouldn't have gmk moq, I hope.
From what I understand for everything you want added they have to fund it and create it. It isn't like GMK or SP where every cap is profit JTK have to recoup their initial costs.

If people want more selection then support the current group buys even if they don't have everything you want now so they can improve and do more in the future.

The advantage to have an easy re-configurable, programmable board is that I just changed my layout back again to ANSI. I learned the hard way that ISO people are a minority, and most vendors, JT included do not have enough potential market to offer the ISO option.

It reads pretty fine to me.  Even gave the disclaimer in the beginning.  Any comments on the legend updates though?

yeah its been commented on a ton of times by myself already

the legends are being constantly improved, and there will be tons of changes made in time for this buy

i do still maintain calling someones hard work clumsy and inconstant is a ****ty way of wording things

once again

these keys are not meant to be a replica of gmk keys, because something is different from gmk doesnt make it wrong

While I myself am not particularly excited about spacebar legends in general, the fact that this is being done, and being done well, is pretty cool.

Nothing sir. It must be a taste that you have to be born into methinks.

It has an unnatural amount of protein with no fat or sugar. It looks like black Vaseline. And no matter how many Aussies I ask none of them can tell me exactly what "fermented yeast extract" is.

No worries...  :)

TL;DR - this is basically a better quality nostalgia set which bunny has already run. Skidata supports more layouts like iso etc.

It is a little tricky when there are similar sets running, but these are both GH colors, so hopefully that keeps people interested in at least one.

yep, he did say that in the middle of a post on page 2 when replying about JTK/Ski data questions:

now what may make this situation slightly worse, is much like the last jtk gb, we will also be offering reverse mods, so you can have a full orange and black set

In for one or two sets aswell! :)

Maybe its just me, but a set of orange on white alphas in true asiimov fashion would be really awesome imo!

Also how about changing up one of the custom legends (like the anchor) to match the set themes more?
(f.e. aperture science or asiimov style logo for the orange on black xD)

I know its far fetched,  just my two cents...

Great work Bunny and JTK!

All in all this has been one of the most informative threads.  I was beyond confused before but now I can't wait to see new sets get launched on the new website.  The site looks awesome and though I do more thread reading to keep up with the news (more than I actually post) I'm now all caught up and eager to see a JTK launch again.  The spacebars look awesome too BTW.  2016 looks like its gonna damage a lot of wallets.  Guess I'll just have to check into therapy here now.  Any idea which wing is open for patients?

I think it was basically confirmed earlier in the thread that the special edition retail-only set that JTK did for CTRL ALT is going to be Beige. Bunny seemed to think it should be up about the same time the new store goes up, so it should be up soon.

sorry for the wait guys, we are trying something pretty special for the presentation of this buy, and making sure it works the same across all devices is really important so its just taking a little bit longer, but itll be up today

Sounds great! Can't wait to see it.

Think I need those red and white caps if they're gonna be available with sliders. My school colors would look great adorning my keyboard.

I don't have any Topre boards, but I want this for school colors as well.  It's as close as I'll get to finding crimson and white!   :thumb:

For smaller schools, usually have to buy them from the student store. For bigger schools, you can get them online, or from huge stores in the mall even. There's two (2!) Ohio State University stores in the mall a mile down the road from me. And they carry every kind of paraphernalia imaginable.

My school would only grant you permission to buy one if you ended up lettering the sport you played, I'm assuming most schools were similar. I never had any but I'm pretty sure my sister has a jacket or two back in the day from all the years she played soccer. Funny thing too is my high school colors were black and orange.

This is how it was at my school too.  I think I have one set of letters in maroon and gray.

I wish my school actually had varsity fencing. Just having a club team (whilst competing with varsity teams) did not allow for the opportunity to letter =/ I did in high school however, but that doesn't really matter.

I think they were around $25, not sure if that's including the stabilized sliders though. Does anyone know if the spacebar slider allows the use of a 6.25 spacebar?

The spacebar sizing on most Topre boards is 6u rather than 6.25u so anyone who ordered the slider sets with their orders are going to be receiving topre spacebars with their order

awesome!
By the way, the pictures for the windowed keys, and the options are swapped.. not a massive issue, but it might catch someone out!

Also will more of the debut sets be available soon?

I definitely love both sets, here's my dilemma.  The CSGO set showed the black and the orange keys in the original post.  To get that, the GB requires you buy the base + the mod set.
The CC set showed the white and the red keys in the original post and you get that with the base set. 

Did the CSGO set change in the IC to an all black set? 

With so many GBs that opened in Oct and Nov, I'm now asking as I really want both a CSGO and a CC set.

Bit of a random question, if I place an order now on your site, do I pay now or when the GB is concluded? Sorry to be asking here but I'm guessing the GB thread hasn't been approved yet!

Pay right after placing order

You some time to pay ( I think 24 hours) before it auto cancels if you don't pay.

You can talk to bunny about payment of you can't pay until sometime after the buy ends.

Otherwise, just place an order when you can pay :)
