Hey Bunny are there costar inserts left? I'm moving my set from a cherry stab board to a costar style one and realized the default white inserts will pose a problem with staying in there.

yeah i got tons sir

Thanks for the reply! PM sent.

Bunny,

Received my missing set from Originative but unfortunately the set came with a few defects. I created a new support ticket on CtrlAlt and included an imgur album link, reference #F2621134.

For anyone who needs to either confirm they have filled out the form or needs to confirm what options they picked please contact user tym here on gh and he will take care of that for you

A quick note of clarification on that, the colours you select are your preference but it doesn't guarantee that is the colour you will receive, right now I think it'll be fine for everyone to get what you want but there are an even amount of each colour so if the options people picked are disproportionate to one colour then we won't be able to accommodate everybody's preference

If we want the slanted sliders along with the regular sliders, is there anything special we need to do besides fill out the form?

Does this include the ~4 sets of black on orange mods (that were never shipped out due to manufacturing errors)? I've sent a ticket asking about the status about the mods since it was said earlier in the thread that the replacement mods were going to be sent with the sliders from JTK to you.

I haven't updated the support tickets yet

I'm juggling a bunch of projects right now and when it comes to pms and support tickets if I did it every night I wouldn't get anything else done, so I tend to pick one night a week right now and tackle as much as I can all at once in favour of getting more practical things done like packing and shipping for people on the other nights

About 18 months or so ago I took on the gh60 buy, which I at the time had plenty of time to do but I finally got all the parts for it right as I was shipping this buy, so in tandem with this I've also been shipping a huge percentage of that buy, including taking over the assembly duties, so I've been shipping about 300 boards total for that buy and I'm finally wrapping that up which will free up a good amount of my evenings per week

I can't imagine these are the italicized ones.  But I really don't know.  Just want to say thanks for the link.  Nice to see more pictures of the sliders!

I'd say based on the timing in terms of when they showed up on Aliexpress as well as KBDfans being generally a respectable vendor that my assumption is they're from this GB and they're the corrected version, but I can't guarantee.

Hey Bunny,

If those ali sliders are the real deal, could we change our color choice? The pink isn't as... Pink, as I had thought. I can submit a form or whatever.

If not, no worries.

Thanks!

As far as I can tell they are legit but I have no knowledge of them etc, I'd assume jtk passed on some overrun to them but I can ask him and find out the score and report back here

Price seems insanely high

Will we need to modify our stabilized keys for them to work?

I think someone said earlier that drilling isn't required, but then how do the stems not hit the housings?

Also, someone on r/MK said this:

ATTENTION:
I talked with the maker before, the switch of shift and enter keys are not the same as the one in Novatouch.
For this one, there is no stabilizer, but only a MX port.
For Novatouch, there is a stabilizer, you can drill a hole on your HHKB/Realforce to support the shift/enter key.
Therefore, if you use this one to replace your shift/enter key, the keycap will be stuck after you press it down, because of no stabilizer.

Would this be something we would have to think about, even if we did modify the stems on our stabilized keys?

i have no idea what they are talking about or referring to

i have extensively tested the sliders and they do indeed come with stabilsed sliders and worked perfectly for me

edit - the only issue at all i found with the stabilsers is some keys had a very slight clearance issue, they would function perfectly, so no sticking whatsoever, but were maybe a mm higher than the other keys of that row

for keys i had that issue with, i didnt drill my case at all, but i removed a very small amount of material from the 2 stabilised sections of the caps, its very minimal and if anyone is interesting ill document me doing it when the new sets arrive, this wasnt an issue in all sets i tried, but the ones that did present a slight clearance issue, it was very easily resolved and the amount of material i needed to remove was so small the caps still functioned perfectly again on mx stabs

but i have tried SA, oem, dcs, gmk, dsa, jtk on these sliders, and havent had a need to drill my case in anyway whatsoever and have full functionality of those keys and all profiles at the appropriate height (with in some limited occasions about 30 seconds of work on the bottom of the caps)

no problem good sir

id estimate they will arrive late next week, if not very early the following week depending on how customs etc treats me but ill be sure to keep everyone informed of the package progress here

once they arrive i have 6-8 support requests to fullfill of missing stuff i needed jtk to replace so that will be done immediately

then ill set about packing up all the sliders

im fairly confident i can have all slider orders complete within a week of them arriving but i will say within 2 weeks just so i dont end up disappointing people with timelines as there are a ton of them

very excited to get the sliders, thanks for the hard work bunny.


Is there any chance of sliders being offered in the next keycap group buy when the time comes?

Also, someone on r/MK said this:

ATTENTION:
I talked with the maker before, the switch of shift and enter keys are not the same as the one in Novatouch.
For this one, there is no stabilizer, but only a MX port.
For Novatouch, there is a stabilizer, you can drill a hole on your HHKB/Realforce to support the shift/enter key.
Therefore, if you use this one to replace your shift/enter key, the keycap will be stuck after you press it down, because of no stabilizer.

Would this be something we would have to think about, even if we did modify the stems on our stabilized keys?

i have no idea what they are talking about or referring to

i have extensively tested the sliders and they do indeed come with stabilsed sliders and worked perfectly for me

edit - the only issue at all i found with the stabilsers is some keys had a very slight clearance issue, they would function perfectly, so no sticking whatsoever, but were maybe a mm higher than the other keys of that row

for keys i had that issue with, i didnt drill my case at all, but i removed a very small amount of material from the 2 stabilised sections of the caps, its very minimal and if anyone is interesting ill document me doing it when the new sets arrive, this wasnt an issue in all sets i tried, but the ones that did present a slight clearance issue, it was very easily resolved and the amount of material i needed to remove was so small the caps still functioned perfectly again on mx stabs

but i have tried SA, oem, dcs, gmk, dsa, jtk on these sliders, and havent had a need to drill my case in anyway whatsoever and have full functionality of those keys and all profiles at the appropriate height (with in some limited occasions about 30 seconds of work on the bottom of the caps)

Ah, great, thanks for the updates! That is good to hear! Very excited about the sliders

But yes, can you document how you do that? I'd want to be as safe as possible and would like to follow the instructions of someone much more experienced than me 🙂

I'd be interested in seeing/hearing more about the work on the bottom of the caps for the stabilized caps.

Curious to see if those caps will still work on MX stabs if you were to ever swap the keyset back onto an MX board.

ok folks

so jtk did a small run of sets and mod extensions in orange and white

the kits follow the pattern and keys of the orange and black sets

you can find mockups of those on the first page of this thread or here:

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

these sets have finished production, are sorted and ready to be shipped to me

i dont wanna run some huge buy or get stuck in some huge shipping cycle again, but i did wanna give people the option to get the set if they wanted it

im not expecting there to be huge numbers on this but if i start to get more orders than i think i could pack and ship in a day ill give 2 hours notice and close the form early

so what im going to do is post a form for poeple to fill out, i will leave it open until lunchtime on sunday, sunday evening i will invoice, and give people 48 hours to pay, on tuesday night ill cancel any unpaid invoices and on wednesday i will send the numbers to jtk and he will ship the sets to me right away

the base set will be $65
the mod set will be $35

shipping to the uk will be $5
shipping to row will be $16

all orders will be tracked and once i have shipped the orders i will post a public spreadsheet showing only user names and no other personal details, and your tracking info next to it

i will make a section in the OP of this thread to post any status updates

here is the order form
