Bam! Got my tracking. Getting this set just in time for a modded black/white HHKB. Super excited.

[HoodrowThrillson]

For anyone wondering, I am making the second round of donations.

I can't recall exactly what it was supposed to be but I think $95 to round it out to $500 is more than suffice.



(I kind of forgot I only did one round and was waiting on 1-2 vendors)

Also Zhuyin should be arriving to your doorsteps soon. Thanks for another successful finish.

Yessssss

Looks awesome.

In other news, I will be running a set utilizing these molds through Novelkeys in 2021. (Mike and I worked hard to get these made so might as well do something with them you know)

[gnho]

Nice! Thanks for sharing the news! I suppose it will be in a different color way? Maybe a Taiwanese theme?

Would love to see this in a 9009 addon kit as well.

Oh yes.

I assume some folks have seen the Metaverse potential issue with R2 alphas.

I just opened by Zhuyin set and I have the same issue. Anyone else have this issue?

Would you mind describing the issue instead of just referring to it as "this issue/the issue"?

Yes, good point, I wasn't very clear in my initial post.

Interesting. So varying textures on the top? I suppose enough usage would even things out in time, but I can see the inconvenience in both the look and feel. Sounds like QC from GMK is dropping off the edges as has been proven with a few other things. I can only imagine since we have many dozens of sets in the queue now with many thousands of kits.

I did notice a bit more texture on my Zhuyin WoB spacebar, but the alphas weren't uneven by row or anything like that on mine. Perhaps I haven't paid close attention, but if I check again, I'll make sure to note it.

If it's one of those things that will even out over time, it wouldn't bother me. I'm just concerned that I'll have a difference in texture forever. I'm not one of those people that gets freaked out over shine.

[delrn]

I just checked both my WoB and BoW sets, the texture is indeed different across the whole R2. It's not as noticeable on the BoW keys, you can definitely tell under normal lighting with WoB though.

[diyachronic]

Just throwing his here for documentation. I'm not too worried if this shines out, but it's a little bit of a bummer as I was trying to do a proper time-lapse of "the shining" and it's very apparent there's a texture difference.

[HoodrowThrillson]

zF brought this to our attention a little time ago. Mike and I have been working towards a solution to this problem.

We did not want to pre-emptively post without having all the details. Please expect an update from either of us on the situation once we figure more things out.

I believe the issue was that the texture on R1(qwerty) is different than the other rows. Additionally it's not as noticeable as Metaverse since the keys are WOB or BOW.

If you look on the back of the keycaps there is a different doubleshot pattern between the textures

[mustardgreens]

I inspected mine carefully, there seems to be no defect.

[thanatic]

woops missed this set.

Do your R2 alphas have the same doubleshot pattern on the back as your other alpha keys? Mine had a vertical pattern rather than the normal horizontal one.

I'm absolutely in love with this kit, but just curious how yours turned out.

My Zhuyin sets all have this "defect". but on the white set its barely even visible. And yes, on the back they have a vertical pattern on all R2 keys.

[tentboy]

Texture issues aside... I still like the set alot!  Put it on my salamander today.

All horizontal on the back, nothing out of the ordinary with them.

Doubleshot pattern on the back is a thing to scrutinize now (/s)? TIL
