we have a bit of an issue with the validation settings on the site for the spacebars, so they are gonna be 50 cents more than i mentioned above for a 2 pack, because the site is auto rounding the prices up, and we dont have time to fix it prior to the buy going live

ill be waiting for a mod to approve the gb post

but until they do

here it is

hey guys

delighted to be able to finally open up this gb

i have been working closely with JT Keycaps for some time now, collaborating on this

this will be our initial offering

double shot abs cherry profile

$58 or $73 with mx compatible topre pom sliders


$30


$53 or $68 with mx compatible topre pom sliders


JT Keycaps is completely new, and these are the debut sets, as with anything new, it needs a starting point, we have put a huge amount of time in to testing these, but they will only get better over time, however please be aware, as this is the first large scale production run, there can be some slight errors, or things we may change at a later date, but every cap will have very strict quality control

here are some pictures of the actual caps offered in both sets




i will post a lot more pictures in this post shortly once i have time to get things set up here

additionally, the first order will get a [CTRL]ALT tshirt

the first 100 orders will also get one of these



this gb will be open for 4 weeks from today, once the gb is complete, the turnaround time will be fairly short compared to a normal gb, approximately 3-4 weeks, for future buys, this time will get much shorter, however as this is the first one, itll have very strict QC and a bit of a learning curve that will be streamlined later

shipping will be

$7.50 US
$18 international

if you would like to make a large order, please contact me before ordering via the site

please keep this thread on topic, and if you have any queries please feel free to pm me

you can place your order here:

https://ctrlalt.io/buys/jtk-debut

payments are taken via stripe (debit or credit card)

if you are unable to pay via stripe, please place an order on the site, leave the order as unpaid, and either pm me or use the contact form on the site, giving me the order number and a paypal email (please note, if you pay via paypal, additional paypal fees will be added)

i dont know that it is now, we chose to include them with the kits for now, as a nod to people supporting the keysets (the reason for the sliders existing at all is to give topre users a chance to enjoy these keys)

so im not sure if we will add them separately just yet, but may do

No worries!  I'd probably grab 2-3 sets for future topre boards if they were made avaiable.  I just placed my order =]

Welcome to Geekhack!

Maybe you could find someone who wanted only the keycaps and split an order?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
