Order is placed, didn't realize the lead time was so far out but I'll settle in and wait. Didn't know if I'd get in on these the first time I saw them around but the set really grew on me.

Also yeah Mechs & co has it listed as PBT, I noticed that too

I was always going to have to buy this set so that I could put together a retro board in the future to match.  Thank you for ISO and I have ordered all sets.  Great work.

I couldn't see the answer here or in the IC, sorry if it's been covered already; If I use this on a normal TKL layout will I have two 'back space' keys (R1 2.0u and R2 1.5u)  :(

That is correct. The TKL kit covers both TKL and popular 60% layouts like Tsangan since there is so much overlap of keys. If you are looking for the R2 1.5u alpha key for TKLs, it has been replaced with REG in the Alphas. You can refer to the render on the Iron180 to see how it will look.

I totally missed that the 'REG' key is in the alpha kit! Thank you  :D

Hi all,

Just popping in here to add a detail I forgot: the 2u, 2.25u, and 2.75u spacebars will be using SP's new convex molds.

As for the first week sales, the graph above represents 3/6 vendors with one of them being outdated. It's a decent start but we could definitely use the community's help to make this set a reality! Please consider SA 8010 :)

More people would know if you mark these keys convex in the kit picture.

Great news.

They already had a convex 3u. And 1.25u, but I think Diatec (Filco) owns that mold.

Made some good progress this week towards MOQ. The above graph represents basically 2 vendors, so those numbers are probably a bit higher. Thank you to everyone who has supported the set so far!

I would say that's likely. Overall, this set is really cool - but also very different (lot's of non-standard keys, so touch-typists only), and the approximate delivery date by May 2022 is certainly also a deterrent. If this were 'in stock', I am sure it would fly off the shelves. So, my guess is that extras bought by vendors will carry this over the finish line. /Johannes

Yeah. I'm happy to front the cash now rather than pay the extra price later, that is, if I can even pick this up as an extra.

And here I was willing to buy 2 or 3 sets, glad everything made it. Kinda regret not getting the PRG set. But got the alphas, TKL and numpad.

I was wondering if anything new or any updates regarding production que have been announced. I figured that since we were nearing the halfway point of the anticipated wait time if a sudden change had occurred.

Occasional GB thread updates are always nice, but some vendors have update pages:
    ApexKeyboards
    Cannon Keys
    Deskhero
    Drop
    Mekibo
    Omnitype
    ProtoTypist
    SwitchKeys

Prototypist currently says SA 8010's expected shipping is Q4 2022.
Back in May, ApexKeyboards estimated Q2 2022.

Mechs & Co.'s updated pre-order page says "Summer 2022," which jives with a post on their Discord last week saying July was the latest estimate from SP.
