[IC] KAT Monochrome - GB September 1st! - Update: Prices!

[JSaintS]

Hello everyone!

I hope you and your loved ones are all doing fine - please stay safe out there and wear a mask 

First of all, thanks for all the support thus far, I really appreciate it!

I wanted to take the time to say that I have been upgrading kits left and right and I hope you'll like it. All kits in the OP are updated so I'll let you go check that instead of posting a ton of images here, but I wanted to mention a couple of changes:

* Updated Ortho kits based off of feedback received from ortho users;
* Updated 40s kits based off of feedback received from 40s users;
* Added the last couple of Alphas, you now have the choice between
    ※ Latin
    ※ Hiragana
    ※ Hangul
    ※ Zhuyin
    ※ Cyrilllic
    ※ Arabic
* Added a R4 Pause key in the numpad kits for OG-1800 boards

I will be sending the kits for quoting today and will try to get the prices as soon as possible. In the meantime, I'm glad to announce the final list of vendors for this set:



I wanted to thank them all to accept to work on this despite the huge number of kits I'm offering!


Austin - BoW Hangul Alpha | Text Monochrome Modifiers | Monochrome Numpad | WoB Novelties

Holy fk...im so glad I waited to find that perfect set I wanted...and glad I waited.  THIS SET SLAPS

Hello Everyone!

New renders provided by the designer of the Viendi 8L - go check them out!




Kits have been submitted for quoting, keep your eyes out and get ready for September!

[Animatedron]

*Drool* This kit cannot come sooner!

[NTN]

Thanks JSaintS.

[nguyenhimself]

Love the numerous kit options that can only work because this is KAT.
Looking forward to Sept.

The new renders look great!  Definitely interested in the hiragana and zhuyin kits.  Slightly disappointed that the JIS kit fell through the cracks as I would have loved to have got standard Roman alphas as well, but thanks anyway for taking the time to consider it. I know you were juggling a lot of kits!  Maybe next time.

This set will be a nightmare to me but hopefully everyone can get something they want

ahahahaha when in doubt get all kits

[hiddensong]

So these will all be main alphas (not -sub)? I would like to see qwerty main and -sub different alphas but understand the desire to have each typeface stand out. I need a good solid WoB and BoW set. We'll see how this turns out. gl

All alt alphas are monolegends. Sublegends do not work as well on spherical top keycaps (such as KAT) as they do on cylindrical ones (such as Cherry).

No chance for ISO enter?

To add to what Konstantin said, I much prefer the style of mono legends than sublegends I hope you'll still like the set

I'm not sure I follow you ^^ ISO keys are in the ISO kits (French, ISO, North, South) - are you referring to something else?

Sorry, I meant as in the base modifiers kit!

Ah, no, that won't happen. the idea behind the way KAT kits work is that you can create small, inexpensive, kits and even if only one is sold, if the global MOQ is met, everything will be made so you don't have to be afraid a particular ISO kit won't be made, everything will be

Oh okay sounds good!
Thx for informing me

[ILikeShorts]

This set seems to have absolutely everything. Any chance, for a monochrome set, you could add mono-legends to the numbers and special characters?

[FellTattooArtist]

Any updates?

[JSaintS]

Any updates?

I am unfortunately still waiting on the quotes - for the moment, the date of September 1st is kept, but we might decide to start a week later if quotes get here too late (we still have plenty of time to get the prices right since all the rest is ready)

I will update here with the prices as soon as I have them

[JSaintS]

Quick update before a bigger one this weekend - quotes from Keyreative came in and vendors are working on them as we speak Stay tuned for more info on this!

[Cujo96]

That is an overboard amount of kits my man, vendors are gonna have a bad time.

I fully understand that, but I checked with every vendor back when I was working on all the kits and they all gave me the green light

[JSaintS]

Hello wonderful people!

I hope your weekend if going great! Here is the final update before the GB starts on Tuesday - Prices!!!

Table is long but everything is in category so you should be able to find what you need fairly quickly



As some of you already know since I announced it on my discord already, there will be no Australian vendor for this sale, I am truly sorry!

If you have any question, please let me know

101 euros for an ISO set covering almost everything between 60% and TKL is pretty good price.

[Omarpixel9]

I'm probably late but the ه character in the Arabic alphas trigger the life out of me.
Is it possible to change it to هـ ?
The one put in the alphas kit right now just looks like an Arabic 5, which just looks wrong.
Basically, ه and shift+j gives you

هـ

VERSUS

ه

WHICH LOOKS LIKE THE ARABIC FIVE

Thanks for your feedback. We are looking into it, but can't promise anything.

Hello everyone!

Quick update today - I added Pricing for the UK:


Prices for the deskmats will follow shortly but I can already say they will be $17/piece on TX Keyboard and have a MOQ of 50 (per design). Last but not least, I should have pictures from the Salvun keys soon and that should be available tomorrow or soon after the GB launches

[Animatedron]

So pumped for this. Officially my first set and from what I can see, fantastic work.

Here are the Salvun keys that will be available tomorrow

[fatboycarney]

Wow what an effort to make this set something for everyone, so much work went into this and congrats, and good luck on the Group Buy (codolences to popkorn )

[Nascent]

Definitely getting this for my first build! As an ISO-ES user it's so great to be able to get such an elegant looking keyset with full layout compatibility!

[FlitzDeelman]

Last but not least, I got contacted a couple of days ago to update the novelty kit to add a second R2 novelty to offer full compatibility for boards like the ION x RAMA Zenith board, so here are the updated novelty kits:

Can I be absolutely daft and do a sanity check: what is required to be sure this set will work with Ion Zenith in ANSI? Is it merely a set of
 - alphas
 - modifiers
 - novelties

..?

Thanks to anybody doing the handholding. (...in this age of Covid..!!  )

Yup, that's it I updated the novelty kit during the hyperfuse IC to make sure it supported the Zenith and I made the same changes here
