[IC] JTK Sora - Kitting changes and New Renders | GB date April 6th

That looks amazing, I'll definitely get myself a set!

Although the novelties do look a bit lackluster...
Since the set is inspired by the sky maybe you could replace it with clouds or something? ..though I'll probably still get it even if it stays the same 

I agree, there could definitely be more novelties, and there was originally a cloud novelty as well. But there currently isn't one because I wanted the focus
to be on tripleshot novelties. Although we're currently waiting on JTK for quotes, I reckon it might be a bit expensive compared to regular JTK novelties pricing,
so I didn't want to add too much novelties to add to the cost even more.

That makes sense. Although I wouldn't mind higher priced novelties if the designs are nice, I can see it being a point of concern for other people.

Love the sky deskmat. Would definitely consider buying if there was a black one although im aware that doesn't suite the rest of the set at all.

Yeah, unfortunately the colors for the deskmat are pretty set (since they were made with the colors of the theme in mind). Sorry about that!

Hey everyone, just wanted to put out a quick update but important update here!

Group buy date has finally been announced for Sora in April. The set will start on April 6th.

We're still waiting on actual quotes from JTK at the moment regarding pricing, but we've been
given the go ahead and our vendors have agreed to start the group buy on April 6th.
Hopefully, we'll receive info on pricing soon.

Another vendor has also agreed to be the proxy for this set: SwagKeys of Korea

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported the set along the way!

JTK 天问“To MARS” comes to 689 RMB with a doubleshot base and a tripleshot nov
so i guz sora might be around this range（base+nov）？
江总（the owner of JTK） has said keycaps are priced by JTK and designer jointly.
So what is your expection？

我会尽量把价格压下来的，毕竟大家也喜欢便宜的

I want the price to be similar as well. Lower price is better for everyone

Hi! Maybe you could have the Blue Pattern and Sunset Pattern desk mats designs be on the left side side instead of in the center?

I agree, off center designs are usually best since the keeb doesn't cover the whole thing. We did keep this in mind- so there are pattern designs surrounding
the main piece, so even with a keeb covering it, there would still be a 'design' on the deskmat- if that makes sense. With that said, we've already sent the
current 4 designs for prototyping but I'll try to see what I can do for a off-center design (pattern) one. Though no guarantees, since it might not look as good
while off-centered.

Another update, this time regarding last minute kitting changes JTK wants. Also added some new renders.
Some collabs with artisan/cable makers have also been added.

Looks lovely, the mats really seem to pop out to me with the pastel marble. The blue set is absolutely gorgeous.

[alttp]

I love the look of this set. I think it will probably be my first group buy. Great job with the design!

[mr_foggy]

"JTK also has a new mold for the HHKB backspace, so we no longer have to use the 'xbox' one and can use standard icon."

oh god YES.

Is there an estimated ship date posted anywhere? I’m definitely picking up a set!

[sauv]

Unof

Is there an estimated ship date posted anywhere? I’m definitely picking up a set!

I can't say for certain at this point in time (since most keycap manufacturers are delayed) but we are expecting Q2 2022

I will be locking this thread since I will instead be posting a GB thread, thank you everyone who has shown interest and supported the set.
