[GB] HSA White on Black - Beige on Brown
« on: Mon, 04 November 2019, 08:01:53 »
HSA or HALF SA is a double shot ABS keycap profile with a glossy finish.  As the name implies, it’s a shorter variation on the SA profile while still being spherical and sculpted.
It is a brand new profile created by JTK.
The keycaps come packaged in a JTK keycap tray

Just curious, why does the US have 2 different vendors for the 2 different colors?  That's a tiny bit extra on shipping cost.  Now I have to decide if I really want both colors or just one.

That is a good point regarding the split shipping.  Sorry for this! The original plan was to launch these sets as their own things in different periods.  JTK preferred to run it together.

It was actually in the prototype set that Jae received. I hope JTK was paying attention and intends to fix the error.

Seriously, would be good to know whether this error will be corrected in the final set. I'm in for WoB and might go for the BoB, too, but not with a wonky legend.

SRCLK  is not a render mistake but was a mistake in the original molds (the renders are using the cad files for the molds).  It will be taken care off!
I expect the GB to be closed down on all vendors in the next two days.  Both sets reached MOQ.  I will share the total sold numbers once I got all numbers.

Oh, I dunno. Maybe the sales numbers promised above and never delivered. Maybe a basic progress report. Some pictures of sample caps produced in the rendered colorways or a fixed SRCLK sample. Something more than nothing at all?

Sales:
WoB sold 293 and 230 extras will be stocked up across vendors. (total: 523)
BoB sold  212 and 160 extras will be stocked up across vendors. (total: 372)

Still didnt get the samples for BoB.  We were hoping to get that ready before CNY but it did not happen.  SRCLK will be fixed.  I did not see new molds for this personally yet.  Expect more updates past CNY.

Even as someone who got in on the groupbuy, it is nice to see how many extras will be stocked. Gotta have the opportunity to get these kits in people's hands to build hype for future groupbuys.

Well I don't think either of them are actually able to give an update are they? Isn't the GB runner European and both those vendors are NA? Last I heard the GB runner was waiting for samples to arrive (may 19).  I doubt at this rate that manufacturing will be finished by late June.

I would expect at this point the vendors would be in communication with the GB runner to see where they are at in the process. I know they don't have control of expediting the process, but they should have a more direct line of communication. I was more put off by DM dismissing me to another vendor (I assume the GB runner), instead of having an update or at least offering to reach out. I know they don't have final say on the caps, but they are a proxy and presumably are making money on this (while also advertising to proxy service right on their website). Novelkeys on the other hand was proactive in getting information.

Just received a new update on this.

JTK had some issues with the stems of the key caps, and are reworking the tooling slightly.

This obviously will cause another delay, but in the end it will be worthwhile.

Current estimate is late August - September for completion.

Hate to hear that. Is there anyway I can pay in advance for an 1 of the extra HSA sets now?
