[GB] JTK Red Riot and JTK Yolch [YOLCH 100% SHIPPED, RED RIOT SHIPPING]

[Puddsy]

new legends

[Remsky]

Improved yes, but I dont think they are entirely fixed. F on the F11 looks higher than the numbers. F on the F12 looks thinner than the rest of the legend. Would def have to see it on a board for a final verdict, but it is way better than older legends.

the F11 keycap is physicall higher up than the other ones

and the f12 looks fine in the other pictures i've seen

it's not supposed to be GMK level (gmk has some issues, too) but it's definitely a vast improvement

[Zuology]

Glad to see the evidence, and I agree that JTK has improved legends to point where the price/compatibility/quality ratios are in line.

To those who are comparing it to GMK: I would say that if they were trying to claim straight-up clone of GMK it would be a different story, but this is a different company with different molds and that is reflected in the price. At best MOQ, GMK runs at least $135-140 for base kit, plus additional kits.

Sad to see only 30 orders for JTK Yolch. I love high contrast keycaps. Seems like every group buy I join this year is the kiss of death for it. I am amazed at some of the strange color combos that have made MOQ this year compared to the one's that have not.

RE: Yolch - There is still FUD about the color mods (Black? How black?), and if actually black then someone properly stated that it's not really a Dolch variant. I would personally get down on it if it were the more traditional warm grey color for mods.

Potato phone pics are decent, but clear pictures of the keys mounted or at least positioned in correct rows in straight lines would help immensely to judge if legends are properly placed/aligned in relation to each other. I've seen the aqua alphas proof pic, and have the same critique of the quality and arrangement of the keys in that one also.

Jeez dude you're a picky ass mofo

[Zuology]

I don't mind being called picky about the color thing, that is pure preference.

However, being shown the keycaps in uneven lines and not in their proper row alignment means that there is no easy way to judge if the legends are higher/lower than the key next to them. Also the low-res potato pic does not give full confirmation if legends are crisp or blurry/uneven. This is pretty basic. If the caps are good, they can take the time to do it proper and remove that uncertainty. If MOQ not being met because of these questions by potential buyers, why not take the few minutes to put those to rest and gain more orders?

[Puddsy]

i already said it's the same black as other JTK sets (i.e. cs:go set)

you get these pics and that's it, this is the best they can do

and don't try and tell me why my set isn't gonna make moq, cause that's just a self-fulfilling prophecy, i'm not particularly worried about it at this point

you don't speak for all buyers

Thread cleaned up per request to keep it on topic of the keycap group buy in question, not keycap photography.  If you wish to discuss the latter, please start a dedicated discussion thread about JTK legend improvements.

Edit: To anyone else reading this post: I really don't intend to restart a discussion of JTK Legends within this thread. This thread is for running a GB and even though it is running JTK sets, JTK legend discussion should take place in a different thread as PhotoElectric stated.
Not updating renders and confirming colors is a different thing that's actually related to the thread so continue that, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Original:
I'm not starting anything. I'm responding to what was said by two others in this thread, which FYI also isn't on topic with the keycap group buy.

You're constantly interjecting yourself into threads, as well, so I don't see why you're complaining, all of a sudden.

Regardless, out of respect for your thread, I will no longer continue this discussion. Best of luck on the GB.

[Zuology]

Little concerned about how the colours on yolch will turn out. Seems from the IC no one really knows if the mods will be absolute black or the dark grey that they look like in the render?

i'm waiting for confirmation from JTK

An update regarding Yolch colors. There was a little miscommunication.

The mods will be black, but the yellow and grey will be colormatched. This is a cost saving measure.

Order count: 28 for Red Riot, 16 for Yolch. Well on target so far. I don't even have numbers from zF yet.

So are the mods just going to be JTK's black then?

Show Image

yeah, I think so

Not sure if I missed anything - do you know how deep of a black the modifiers will be on the Yolch set yet?

i imagine it'll be the same black they used for WoB, but i'll ask

i already said it's the same black as other JTK sets (i.e. cs:go set)

You never actually confirmed or stated that they would be black, there was a lot of non-committal unsure guessing.

The updates regarding mod colors being verbally confirmed as Black (not dark grey) should at least be clearly stated in the main post, if renders/mock-up cannot be updated.

[runsamok]

Yeah, if the mods are black then it's not really Dolch-with-yellow & the name/renders are misleading/deceptive. There's been ample time to get replacement images/renders made & continuing to use the incorrect ones is lazy at best & dishonest at worst.

Not blown away by the JTK legend "improvements" either. Let alone the lazy/completely absent renders.

It would seem the gb runner has no problem dishing out feedback, but cant take it.

Best of luck with the gb.

Any updates on numbers of sets sold?

[MajorKoos]

Any updates on numbers of sets sold?

Any news?
Red Riot must happen.

waiting for numbers from proxies, i'm optimistic about red riot, yolch hasn't really moved

i've been moving home from school so i haven't been able to really look at anything on these

haven't even looked at GH since like last monday

i'll post clear numbers when i have them

[Puddsy]

at this point, red riot is going through thanks to vendor orders

yolch is about 20 orders short, we're so close!

Genuinely curious, what issues do you still have w/ the new legends? Looks fine to me.

I think out of respect for Puddsy and this GB, it's better not to go down this road again. If you feel inclined to discuss JTK it's probably better to PM or start a discussion thread elsewhere in the forum.

Yo, I just white knighted Puds. Gonna go slit my wrists now.

On SwitchMod's site it says Yolch reached MOQ! I hope it's not a mistake, I really want this set. I was almost tempted to order a 2nd TBH, LOL. Although it has killer compatibility with just one set & money is a little tight so I couldn't justify it. I think they extended the time to order to June 1st too, so fingers crossed bud!

Pretty sure we've made it, just barely. Working some things out with zFrontier regarding extras and colors, but at the very least Red Riot has made it. Unless something unexpected happens, Yolch has also made it. Still working on the colors, but for the moment it's out of my control.

Will post updates as I get them.

[Puddsy]

Better late than never, but just got confirmation that the Yolch mods will be grey instead of black (and that it's, you know, being made). They'll send me samples in a few weeks. It's gonna be matched to SP Dolch (GE, GX, YBP).

zFrontier and Switchmod will have extras of both sets, I think Caps-Unlocked will just have Red Riot.

Waiting for info so that vendors can submit payment, see you again once payment has been confirmed.

GZ puddsy.

Any ideas on whats next? JTK Blue Balls? JTK Pink ****cat? JTK Black Blanks?

No clue. I've got a few months to think about it. Might do light blue or mint green next.

[euphxenos]

It's a shame that Yolch's colors didn't get sorted out while the group buy was still open.  Ah well.

I meant to have it done this week, but deadlines are deadlines. There are a TON of extras though, so it shouldn't be too hard to get one.

[Puddsy]

Amendment, colors will be GE, GX, and YCH NOT YBP like I said above. It's closer to the render. I might get samples in both, but I don't want to add time on to this GB. We'll see.

Red Riot will match the same red as the Cola set. It's a nice dark red, I like it a lot. I think I said that further up, but I can't remember.

These are final colors unless there's some weirdness that's out of my control.
