IC thread link (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=93586.0)
XDA Oblique is a keyset inspired by the keycaps of the AEK, M0116, AEKII, and similar Apple keyboards. The font used in this keyset is Oswald Light and is angled at 17°. This is a very close to Univers 57 Condensed Oblique, the font used on the AEK. I have modified/resized some of the symbols to match the AEK. Even Univers 57 isn't an exact match to the AEK's font though; it is slanted at a smaller angle and several of the symbols are different. The colour will be Pantone Cool Grey 2 U, which matches Apple's colour very well.

Will texture be same as Canvas? I'd prefer smooth feel like AEK.
I think since it's PBT plastic, it's got the traditional treatment, which I believe Canvas has as well. If you notice from the zoomed in samples photos (https://i.imgur.com/okrisAs.jpg), you can notice the texture.

Should've asked in the IC. It's a very uncommon key though. I'd bet most manufacturers don't have a mold for it.

Approval bump!
Will be joining this week :thumb: Thanks for all the work.
I will definitely pick up an ortho set with the katakana alphas :D

Joining instantly.
Picking up the katakana alphas with text mods, maybe compat!
First GB I was interested in and genuinely excited enough to join! Really nice work dr_derivative!
I have joined for just about every kit. Yay!
Nice! Have been waiting for this to drop for the longest time.
Now to decide whether to get base or katakana alphas. Tentatively in for alphas, text mods and accents.
Fantastic! Already ordered a number of sets for my TKL.
So in :thumb:

I think it does exist for XDA IIRC, although I can't find it on any of Massdrop's XDA drop pages. Maybe Canvas R1 or Milestone used it?
Anyway, as xondat said if it had been asked a couple weeks ago I could've added it, but it's a bit late now :(
... And when does ordering end?
The 5th of August ;D

Yes, XDA has a slight texture; it'll be the same as Canvas.
This is the perfect set for the Modern M0110 kit! Very beautiful! I want to join buuuut... GMK TA 90 happening at the same time. :( Damn..

Milestone (the first XDA set) had a centre stem stepped caps, that'd be why! Terribly uncommon key, though.

Not for XDA sets. I bought a blank XDA set that came with a centered stem stepped caps and an off center stem, and I'm pretty sure the xda canvas set came with one:

I didn't realise that all 3 stepped caps were off-centre stems during the IC D: Oh well, maybe for R2! Anyway, the just-concluded XDA Canvas R2 had centre-stem stepped caps in the Hobbyist kits.

Yep, all vendors will have price drops.

I'm not sure what they're called to be honest, they may well not have an English name. zF have done most of the communication with the manufacturer.
Curious why it is cheaper to buy it from the Chinese GB on zfrontier. Could we make the prices consistent according to the exchange rates?
It is cheaper for zF to ship keysets to Chinese buyers, so that's reflected in the price. Also, they wanted to have the international prices consistent with Dixie Mech's which include the extra shipping and tax and stuff for shipping China->US.

I think you will have to trade with an ergodox kit buyer that want to give one of there 1.5u esc key

C'mon Americans! Buy more Katakana alphas!
I'm pulling for some icon mods still! I haven't really been a part of any GBs that run on a per-set MOQ, so I'm not sure when I should panic 😅
Surprised novelties didn't hit MOQ yet, they're amazing! Fun icons and Vim caps?
But I just hope everyone can get what they want.

That's a good question for OP
Post by: dr_derivative on Fri, 13 July 2018, 17:18:55
Are the order counts up on Dixiemech inclusive of all the other vendors?
Nope, they're just the US orders. I'll get a spreadsheet up in the coming days to properly track total orders across all vendors.
Is there a difference between 2u vertical and 2u spacebars (and the 1.5u verticals and 1.5u blanks)? I have an XDA blank set that I've used on my Ergodox and there's no difference for that set; will that be the same for these keycaps?
I'm trying to figure out how I can get 4 2u blanks for my Ergodox. I'll probably pick up the 'dox set anyways, but just want to check first before I pull the trigger and join the GB.
1.5u and 2u verticals are just 1.5u and 2u keys rotated by 90°. Some sets use 2u spacebars, but the ergodox users I spoke to when designing this set said they preferred regular 2u keys.
Why is the modern M0110 kit only available on mykeyboard.eu ?
The M0110 kit is an add-on for the Modern M0110 GB so it's available with the vendors running that GB.
Any way to get a 1.5u Esc for Race 3 people without having to get the whole Ergodox set?
A Race 3 Esc is pretty non-standard, so it's not supported out of the box. You can get the blanks kit to fill that position, or use any other 1.5u key if you don't mind an incorrect legend.
Just ordered Katakanas, Accents, Novelties, and Spacebars!

Sorry for the noob question, but which sets(s) would I need to fit my Vortex Race 3? I know it has some funky key sizes.
- Alphas (base or katakana)
- Base Modifiers (text or icon)
- Ergodox (for the Esc key) - Otherwise, any kit with a spare 1.5u key can do in a pinch for your Esc key

Sorry for the noob question, but which sets(s) would I need to fit my Vortex Race 3? I know it has some funky key sizes.
Either set of alphas, either set of base mods, the compatibility kit for 1u bottom row keys and 1.5u delete.
The 1.5u esc isn't included (unless you buy the ergodox kit for just one key) because it's pretty extremely non-standard. You can get the blanks kit to fill it with a blank or just use any leftover 1.5u key if you don't mind an incorrect legend.
Can I confirm please that there is a 1.75u shift in the Base Text Modifiers kit? Am squinting away but just can't be sure and there's no ability to click and enlarge images. Thanks! :thumb:
Yes, the 1.75u shift is included in both base mod kits ;D

Sorry if it were already asked, but how does it work if the price drop and I've already payed? (My keyboard.eu)
It may change depending on the vendor, and folks can correct me if I'm wrong, but if you've been charged, you'll get refunded the difference once payment is collected.
Other vendors may place a $0.01 holding charge that later gets amended to the proper amount; I'm pretty sure that's how restaurants do tips, but again I'm a little out of my jurisdiction here.

I can see on dixiemech that the base alphas have hit the 2nd price break already, and that's just for them. This is great! Where do the overall counts sit across all vendors? Could we already have hit price breaks for some of the other kits?
Woo! I'll probably be joining the Blanks kit before the GB closes, so hopefully that one will hit MoQ.
I think OP said he was going to update the DM image with all vendors' numbers, not sure if that has been done yet; but I'd be pretty shocked if the UK/Intl kits didn't at least hit the first MoQ…
Post by: dr_derivative on Mon, 23 July 2018, 16:20:10
But based on just the numbers I have, everything but the homing, ergodox, UK, and intl kits have hit MOQ. Those kits, especially the UK and intl kits, will hopefully get a big boost when I get MyKeyboard's numbers. I'm not super worried about any kits not hitting MOQ at the moment. We have ~160 base alphas sold, so it might even reach the 250 MOQ before the end of the GB ;D
Post by: CustomerSupport on Mon, 23 July 2018, 17:03:21
I have current numbers for Dixie and zF, and I have numbers from MyKeyboard which are a bit out of date. Dave from MechKeys is understandably pretty caught up with the Espectro GB, so I don't have their numbers.

Will it make sense for me to order it through zfrontier's site and wait till I head home in Dec to collect it or order directly from mykeyboard.eu and pay the customs? It seems like the pricing on mykeyboard.eu is higher and I am not too sure what the UK customs duty will be like.

Will it make sense for me to order it through zfrontier's site and wait till I head home in Dec to collect it or order directly from mykeyboard.eu and pay the customs? It seems like the pricing on mykeyboard.eu is higher and I am not too sure what the UK customs duty will be like.
You won't have customs duty if you order from mykeyboard.eu, what you pay is all you pay.
Oh great. Thanks!

Customs duty and stuff is only for buying outside the EU, MyKeyboard is in Belgium so you have nothing to worry about ;D
****, I 'm in with 10 kits. I must be losing my mind. They look great, though.
Katakana, text mods and accents reserved.

Can I confirm please that there is a 1.75u shift in the Base Text Modifiers kit? Am squinting away but just can't be sure and there's no ability to click and enlarge images. Thanks! :thumb:
Yes, the 1.75u shift is included in both base mod kits ;D
Thank you! In for seven kits. Another Katakana lover here, they look fantastic! :thumb:

Seeing the response to this set, do you think you'd be doing a second run of this in the future, dr_derivative?
Maybe, although it won't happen any time soon. I'm generally not a big fan of groupbuys that run a second round only a year or so after the first round ships.

That'll need a completely new set of legend plates which will cost a fortune. Could do ePBT maybe though. Or who knows how many new profiles there could be by the time I start thinking about round 2 :))

I have updated the second post with sales numbers. These numbers are from late last week, so they're not completely up to date any more. Also, I don't have Canada's numbers yet, so they're not included.
Wow it looks like every kit might make it! How often does that happen? Great news indeed.

Just checking, if I buy 2 X Base Alpha, 1 X base mod, 1 X accents, 1 X compatibility, 1X novelty, should the caps be able to cover 2 boards (1*65%, 1*60%)?
Thank you.
It depends on the exact layout of the boards, but I think it should ;D

I'm also wondering if there'll be any extras because I missed out. Hopefully there'll be katakana, mods, and Compatibility kits available.
Yes, I think all vendors will be buying some extras to sell after the GB
Sorry about the radio silence since the GB closed, I'll post the final numbers soon.

I'm really happy with how well this GB has gone; I had never thought we'd sell this many kits, especially considering we were running alongside DSA Milkshake (which also sold >2k kits). A week before the end we'd just hit 1k, but the numbers crept up very quickly after that. We sold nearly 500 kits on the last day alone. ;D

They bought extras for all the kits that sold reasonably well, so getting a spacebar kit shouldn't be a problem.

I don't know if it's a normal thing for the invoice not being paid after almost a month of the buy period ending, but just a quick update on the situation would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah, I've been waiting for a set like this for most of my MK journey! I haven't seen any names mentioned, but it's been said in this thread that some vendors have bought up stock so you should see some pop up not long after the sets start shipping. Keep an ear out at the end of the year, I'd say.

If you're in the US, dixiemech.com is where a limited number of sets will be available. These won't show up in their shop though until after they've shipped everything out to the group buy participants though. I'd recommend signing up for their mailing list to keep up to date.

Any updates on the GB? Are we on track for delivery?
There might be a slight delay because it took a little longer than expected to make payment to the manufacturer. I don't know how much that will affect our timeline though since we'd still have been waiting behind other sets in the production queue.
Other than that I believe we're still pretty much on track.

Will the M0110 Oblique kit ship in time with the Modern M0110 GB?
I think so yeah, but you'll have to ask deskcandy to be sure.

We're waiting on more details from the manufacturer so IDK how much of a delay we're looking at. Hopefully it won't be too long.

Yeah, I just got that update too. It looks like they won't be shipping the sets this month unfortunately :(

Delays are never good; however, I look at this as a positive to ensure that I will be able to purchase extras when they arrive @ DixieMech

I still haven't heard anything since the last update. Canvas also hasn't shipped yet and it ran a month before this, so IDK how much longer we'll have to wait.
Well, FWIW, XDA Canvas got problems with one of their kits and had to delay production for 3 weeks. They plan to ship around Dec 7. (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-mito-canvas-xda-custom-keycap-set/talk#discussions).
Post by: nguyenhimself on Mon, 10 December 2018, 22:25:55
XDA Canvas just got delayed to Dec23rd. Can you check whether that would affect our XDA Oblique? Both sets are being made at the same factory, right?
Thanks.

Thanks.
I'll ask. I still haven't heard back whether it was the canvas delays that caused our delays in the first place, but I'll follow up on that.
Blanks are definitely the same factory, there is only one factory with XDA moulds. I'm not sure what dyesubber Canvas is using though, but it may well be the same too.

I haven't heard anything from them unfortunately. It is getting close to CNY so IDK if they can deliver before then like they promised :(
The title of this thread was changed to say "(In Production)", so I guess that is the update.
Nah, I wouldn't use the title to update the thread without posting too. Besides, I changed that months ago :))

Agreed, that's pretty much unheard of in the community, all we get are estimates. It seems like it wasn't really a promise in the first place, just that they were hoping to be done by CNY. So far the delays are reasonable, that's what we all signed up for.

Got another update from the manufacturer today. Their productivity was not as high as expected with people taking holidays early for CNY, so they won't be finished before the Chinese new year :( . Their new delivery estimate is the end of February.

What board are you guys putting this on? I have been thinking about this off and on for months. Each time I think I know I use the board for something else. By board, I'm curious about layout and color.
Been thinking maybe the modern M0110, depending on which switches I end up going with. I tend to like pairing XDA with light linear switches.

It's been my intention to put these on a Modern M0110 (Light Sand Cerakote) well. Interestingly enough, both projects seem to be progressing at about the same pace in production which has worked out alright.

While not quite italic, I feel Canvas is somewhat related to Oblique in nature. Like these keycap sets are descended from alternate timelines out of the 80s. There's just something about them on this form factor that is quite visually appealing.

Well "Oblique" literally means italic, so not really. But they are thin in nature, so that is related.
Also, the success of Oblique basically lead to the use of the original Oblique legends of the vintage Apple boards. This is a normal thing in this community. Something does really well and everyone copies it. Look at how many different versions of 9009 released this last year after GMK 9009 R2. Its just something that happens.
Post by: sleepybrett on Mon, 04 February 2019, 22:04:17
In typeography Obliques and Italics are actually different, but similar, things. They both achieve the same effect of emphasis but go about it in a slightly different, but important, way.
Italics are not just angled versions of their 'Regular' siblings. They are genreally new letterforms that are more caligraphic. For instance consider this sample of a variant of Garamond.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/GaramondSpecimenA.svg
You can see that especially the lower case characters exhibit this 'new calligraphic letterform', an especially obvious example being the lowercase a which goes from a regular 'two story' a to a single story a with italicized. Also you will notice that the counter of the a (the enclosed area) detaches from the stem much higher up, you also see this on the q. Similarly the shoulder of the r (the bit on the right) separates from the stem similarly, gradually lower on the stem unlike the regular where it's abrupt right near the top.
Here below is a sample of univers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Univers#/media/File:Univers_sample_2015.png
As you can see here the oblique characters are simply 'tilted' versions of their 'regular' siblings. Sometimes there are slight changes in the line weight to correct for some visual weight, but generally that kind of change is very subtle.
Generally speaking you will see italic versions of serif typefaces and obliques for sans typefaces. But that's not 100% the case, I've seen a few weirdos in my day.
Just a little education from a type nerd.
The page on Oblique typefaces on wikipedia is pretty good at going into more detail.

Sorry about all the delays everyone has had to sit through. At least there does seem to be some progress even if it is slow. I hope it'll all be worth it in the end.
Yeah after watching how canvas went, I expected delays. This was also a very well supported GB, so the manu has to churn out a lot of kits. Looking forward to it nonetheless :thumb:

I'm not too concerned about delays or wait times! It happens for sure. My biggest issue is the complete radio silence from MechKeys.ca... I can't get a response from them and if they don't change my shipping address this set will be delivered to some strangers who probably won't appreciate what they're receiving at all.
How have you been trying to contact him? He usually replies to emails pretty quickly (within a couple days at least), otherwise I'm pretty sure he has a discord server too.

The manufacturer sent more than just the production samples they promised to zFrontier. They sent 5 huge boxes of keycaps, which should be a good portion of the total order.
There seem to be at least both types of alphas and mods, as well as spacebar, numpad, and blanks kits. I won't know for sure which kits and how many until they have been properly sorted.
It doesn't look like any of the kits with coloured keys (accents, 40s, ortho, and ergo) are present, so I assume they're still in production.
Looks like we won't be waiting until December after all :))

I wonder if zFrontier will start shipping each order as soon as the sorting is finished, or if they will wait for all the kits before sending then all to the postal in one single trip.
And yeah, I did not buy any kit with accent keys :)

Pretty sweet news. Think they'll hold onto em until everything arrives? Or start shipping out what they got
I'm not sure, but there is a lot of sorting to do first. The GB sold like 2.6k kits total, so it could take a while before they start shipping regardless :))

Hope they use some sort of tray to hold the caps. XDA Canvas was a mess as lots of people got wrong keys.

They also sent samples of the accent, homing, 40%, ortho, ergo, UK, and int kits. There is also a sample of the M0110 kit (although technically not part of this GB).

They said that the blue accent keys look less saturated IRL than in the photos. Also, the orange keys are done in a different orange. Here's a pic of the orange accents next to a correct colour sample.

The remaining kits are still in production. The factory estimates 2 weeks, although we all know how accurate their previous estimates have been :))

The remaining kits should be shipped from the manuf to zFrontier tomorrow. Sets bought from zF should hopefully start shipping pretty soon ;D. The rest of the world will have to wait a little bit longer for international shipping, customs clearance, etc. but hopefully that won't be too much longer.

I'll ask him for a rough estimate. Shipping from China to him should be pretty fast but I've no idea how long it'll take to clear customs and for him to sort and ship everything.
Does Dixie put up extras after they receive the shipment and the main orders are shipped out ?
That is what usually happens. I'll post here on the thread when extras are up (if nobody else beats me to it).

Sorry peeps. Not much of a GH-er. I have received the sets, confirmed that we were shipped the correct number of every kit and have packed about half of them as of tonight. I am going to grind it out tomorrow and Friday and try to get them all done to try to have them shipped out Friday. These take a bit longer to pack than GMK, as you can image with 18ish kits to sort through. Remember that we do have about 1300 of the 2000+ kits that were ordered, so we are going to take a bit longer to finish than the other proxies, who have much smaller numbers. But we are heavily into it and are working hard to get it all out to everyone.
Also, the missing blank 2u cap has been added to all the ErgoDox kits so they have all been fixed.
As 1 of 31 who ordered the Ergodox kit, woo! Thanks for the update.

They're in the process of shipping at the moment. Moridin (two posts up) got his from mykeyboard, at least that's what he said in his reddit post.
In my experience it can take a few days for them/their courier to send out shipping notifications, so yours could even already be en route ;D

XDA Oblique feels much more premium that my GMK WoB set. The keycaps sound better, they appear to be thicker, better made... Quite frankly I don’t know what I paid for getting GMK.

So I just realized that zFrontier gave me these 4 duplicate keys. I hope this does not mean someone else’s day just got ruined.Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190414/dfebba6abce6d4fb5256557727cfbe6a.jpg)
Otherwise, amazing keycap set.
There are extra F and J keys since both homing and non-homing keys were included. If you look closely one should be slightly deeper than the other.
And the extra \|ム key is to cover a split left shift.

Ah thanks for clearing that up. Cheers :)So I just realized that zFrontier gave me these 4 duplicate keys. I hope this does not mean someone else’s day just got ruined.Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190414/dfebba6abce6d4fb5256557727cfbe6a.jpg)
Otherwise, amazing keycap set.

This my first XDA set and I love it!
I’ve been using XDA Canvas on my main board for awhile now, and coming from more sculpted caps it took me a little while to get used to. But it’s pretty nice, and certainly looks great as a profile.
Just my opinion, but I feel it seems more ideal for smaller boards than larger ones.
Oblique will be my 2nd XDA though, and can’t wait to get them in my hands.
Post by: zslane on Mon, 15 April 2019, 11:58:17
Should anyone find they don't like XDA, there will be plenty of folks interested in buying your XDA Oblique set off you.

Agreed about XDA working better with smaller boards (like DSA IMO). I used XDA on my daily driver for about 6 months. It's kinda meh. I don't love it, but I don't hate it. You get used to it but after switching back to Cherry you realize what you're missing in terms of good ergonomics. I'm still hyped for this set though. Looks soo good.

Bad news is, I did not anticipate getting into ortho and so did not purchase the ortho kit.
Good news is, thanks to the novelties, no big deal :)

Has anyone received a shipping confirmation from mechkeys? I got the email asking me to reply if needed to change my address, but haven’t seen anything since then.
In the same boat from mechkeys :( Nothing from them since the email asking to confirm my address almost a week ago. I've reached out a few times over the past few weeks about shipping and other things (MOQ refunds), but they haven't responded. Mechkeys has unfortunately been pretty poor with communication during the whole process. Quite disappointed in that aspect of this GB. But the caps look worth it 🙏

I've spent years now typing on SA and DSA and, more recently, MT3. I fully expect to like XDA as well.
Should anyone find they don't like XDA, there will be plenty of folks interested in buying your XDA Oblique set off you.
Same here , love SA (DSA not so much) and XDA took some getting used to. It’s the uniform profile than anything. I have xda canvas on one of my boards and after using some risers to give it an angle, it’s quite enjoyable. The surface area of the caps are larger, I make fewer mistakes

Did anybody else get an *extra* refund from Dixie Mech? 'Cause I got an email where I got an additional $9 or so back.
I ordered using mykeyboard.eu and got a few bucks back today, I think the production costs for the sets ended up being a bit lower than planned. Nice of the GB runners and proxies to give that money back instead of pocketing it.

I don't know I feel about the epbt extended 2048. I kind of want oblique in cherry profile, but the 2048 font kind of looks off and not as good as obliqueThere are some huge dealbreakers for me:
- They are using EnjoyPBT beige white, not grey white like this set or the OG.
- Icon-only modifiers do not look good with the AEK’s thin font.
- Dat shift icon. Ouch.
- The Japanese set has the sub-legends below the main ones and not side by side. Just no.
- The novelty set, while kinda fun with that coffee cup one, actually looks pretty boring and not at all retro-Mac-themed. The iPod? The iOS notification? C’mon!
Maybe I’m just too much of an Apple fan, but yeah, no.

I think if I were to run Oblique again it would be in a sculpted profile. Not sure about Cherry specifically, but definitely something a lot nicer to type on than XDA. I can't see it running any time soon with ext 2048 running now though. And it is priced very nicely, so it might be a nice set to tide you over until sculpted Oblique happens. I'm considering picking up a set myself ;D

But it does not have the beautiful color mods like Oblique. Looking very good and competetively priced, though. Plus, Cherry is nicer to type on, more than I thought when I thought at first. :-)

True. There's also KBDfans' italic XDA set which is sort of similar; and stock magicforce keycaps are AEK-style now too.
Even though ext 2048 existed in IC form even before Oblique, I like to think I started a trend ;D

Well, first I bought a Preonic, then I got deathly ill and spent a month in the hospital. During my time there, I realized that life is too short for stupid bull**** and why should I have to deal with a number row - the very definition of "stupid bull****" in any sort of technical work - when I could instead have a numpad, which is not stupid bull****. And would make a totally boss looking extended Planck-style layout.
Nobody made it.
So I made it. Designed the PCB, iterated it through testing myself and testing with other people, and now I have a 4x16 board with underlighting and audio. Runs QMK. I call it Stand Aside.
I'm working on its successor, Hard Light, which features per-key RGB.

Mine was scheduled to be delivered on Friday but now has a Canada Post tracking status of "Item redirected to recipient's new address" which sounds like despite messaging MechKeys directly on Facebook; emailing; contacting on discord and responding to the address confirmation email that was sent out before shipping, they still sent it to my old address and it is now en route to be sent to my dad's new address in a different city. I wonder if I'll ever see these caps or a refund should they not arrive. What a nightmare.

Ouch. That is incredibly frustrating. All of my attempts to contact mechkeys also went unanswered, I guess I was lucky to at least receive my set. Let me know if you ever hear from them or there's anything I can do to help get their attention.
I also suspect that we won't be seeing the MOQ refunds from them, which is a shame.
Really unfortunate that their communication was abysmal during this process. Definitely won't be doing business with them again.

If you have any extra 6.25" spacebars, please consider selling those as a separate kit. My spacebar came marked up and it bugs me, so I will be trying to find another 6.25" spacebar.
Overall really nice set and GB, even with the production delays.
If your spacebar came like that you should probably get in contact with your local vendor to ask about a replacement. I believe the factory made some spares to cover those kind of issues.

Who do I contact regarding replacements? Presume my local vendor. Some of my spacebars have weird markings on them.
Oh and how do I figure out which caps are scooped? Look the same to me.

Edit: No I don't. I just didn't look properly at the icons kit. Duuh.

Hi to all. Someone had problems with mykeyboard.eu? I ordered XDA Oblique Spacebars, XDA Oblique Compatibility, XDA Oblique Katakana Alphas, XDA Oblique Base Icon Mods. And instead of the Oblique Base Icon Mods received the XDA Oblique Base Alphas. Sent an email on the contact@mykeyboard.eu and they do not answer the week. The author of groupbay writes that mykeyboard needs to fix it. I do not know what to do next, I do not have a complete set and It's bothering me somewhat. >:D
They're normally very responsive, though currently quite busy - you'll likely have success if you contact them via their Discord (https://discord.gg/p7b3BE) (link expires in a day, I can't find the official link)

I have ordered from mykeyboard and haven’t received anything yet. I mailed them last sunday and haven’t had no answer yet.

Yay, DixieMech finally put the extras up for sale and I managed to grab a set! Can't wait for these to come it, I was so bummed I missed them.
Yeah me too, I'm so thrilled

Definitely different shades, but it's pretty hard to tell without fairly bright fluorescent/LED lights. They should work great for what I have planned, dying some blanks for color-coordinated accent keys.

What ever happen to selling extras? I signed up for updates from the USA listed store, but never got any e-mails. Anywhere to get these, or future buy?
I got the mail June 6th

Flexible on pricing somewhat, especially if I can get the entire bundle to someone who really is bummed about missing the GB.

What are the chances of a round 2 for these?
I'll probably do a second round at some point, but I have no immediate plans. Round 2 will probably also be a different profile, but IDK which one yet :)

Atleast until a sculpted rerun is done (I'd vote for Cherry profile or SA!).

Any chance there'd be another run of this keycap set? Perhaps in another keycap profile, as indicated previously?
That's the plan. I'm working on TA Origins right now, so maybe late this year or early next. Not sure yet ;D

Sweet! I wonder if there'd be any interest in an ALPS-compatible keycap? I like the colorways of the XDA Oblique modifier keys, and harvesting AEK/AEKII keys isn't the same as brand 👏🏿 new 👏🏿 keycaps 👏🏿 (😅)

I'd be interested in another run as well.
Anywhere to buy these still? Any more runs on them?
KBDfans (https://kbdfans.com/collections/xda-profile/products/pbt-xda-143keys-keycaps-set) has a similar keycap set. It's not nice, but I think it's the closest [In Stock] keycap set out there :/

Thanks, but I'd love the japanese characters.

If XDA is at all possible for another run, I'd definitely be down for another kit or 2 fwiw

Post by: xobile on Thu, 24 September 2020, 12:42:12
If anyone is interested, I am still trying to get rid of the last kit that I was unable to sell last year: 40%. Not sure if there is anybody who just needs that kit, but figured I would include it here just in case.
Still available? I'm looking for the 40% set

I'm selling a few Oblique kits over on Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/kp2hq3/usca_h_wavez_honeywell_bold_violet_tendencies_q01/
Thanks for the heads-up! Always appreciate people who post these here; if you had the Spacebars or Compatibility kit I'd have no choice, but looks like I've got the kits you're selling.
Best of luck!
