Will there be samples with the final colors & texture sometime before the expected ship date?

aren't samples in the first post good enough already? legends and textures are shown well.

Those samples are not the final color or texture, as biip has mentioned.

So...
I was lucky enough to receive my KAM Starry Night set yesterday. I REALLY wanted to test out this profile before buying another KAM set and I gotta say, I'm not disappointed at all. I love this glossy look, and they feel great. My fingers do not slide off these at all (this was my concern with the shiny coat). They're thicker and taller than DSA - DSA is really too small and feels a bit thin and cheap for me. I was worried that the similar uniform profile might bother me but it doesn't at all.
Now I'm REALLY excited about this set and (I believe?) these will be more of a matte finish! Will be fun to compare. In any case I LIKE the profile.
ALL IN!

BiiP, please take about 6 months off after Bushido. My wallet has had it!

Cracked and ordered the base, calc and spacebar kits. Now to design a Speccy inspired keyboard and numpad kit for them.

Matte molds have been finalized.
Color sampling is almost done (I'm waiting for the final yellow batch atm).
Then we should have a more precise ETA

So glad you got them to make matte molds, would have skipped this one otherwise.

Keyreative is working on the last batch of samples. Sadly they had to delay all the sets a second time (first time because of Covid) due to Milkshake QC issues.
ETA was supposed to be September tho.

Right - thanks for that. Shame there’s no more official news. Have to hope it’s all going well.

My bad, I tend to post updates on my discord server and forgot to post it there.
Due to the KAT Milkshake QC issue and the pandemic, the manufacturer timeline has been heavily affected. Keyreative is actually working on the production batch. ETA is early December.
Sorry for the delay, sorry for the lack of updates and sorry the inconvenience.

Here is a pic of approved samples, natural cloudy lighting, no adjustments.
Might do more soon.

Loligagger · « **Reply #77 on:** Mon, 09 November 2020, 16:36:08 »

New samples look good to me. Although the blue of the 'blue/edit' keycap looks fairly light/desaturated in that pic.

hey biip,

has that error in the intl kit in german language been fixed? Short reminder: Y and Z are swapped in german, so the red writings are not correct anymore.

Hey, KAM is a uniform profile which means you can swap keycaps without having a sculpt issue :)
I hope it was what you were worried about!

🍪biscuits✨ · « **Reply #81 on:** Thu, 03 December 2020, 12:43:43 »

Hi,

Am I missing something in the images, or are the images on the single-quote key on the intl-kit set "the wrong way around" for a UK keyboard?
E.g., I see the hash key has a large white # and smaller red ~, which is what I'd expect.
So I'd expect to see a white single-quote key, with a red @, but the colours are the other way around in the image of the intl-set set (bottom left)?
The base-kit key does have large white single quote, small red double quote, which is again what I'd expect.

I found the sets on candykeys, I think this is the best way to buy in UK? I am *very* excited:)

I don't know the answer to your question, but you're also about a year too late to make any suggestions to the kitting.

Yeah, but thats the issue ;) if you change Y and Z, RETURN and AND is not longer next to OR, but next to CLEAR.

So I'm realising now these seem to be sold out everywhere (Candykeys have a preorder button, and it goes in my basket, but says base-kit not in stock at checkout)

Is a second batch likely or something, I'd love to get a set somehow?
I'm new to all of this, is this thread the best place to "watch" the set?

Most proxies have extras which they would let go. Some sell them immediately after the group buy period is over like Daily Clack. Some sell them once they have fulfilled orders like Novelkeys and ZFrontier.

The best way to know is to drop the proxies a query to see if they have extras of a set you're looking for and then subscribe to their newsletter to keep track of when they release the extras.

The legend spacing for each key is highly inconsistent. For example, the letter Q vs the letter U.

The U and the number 6 is about to fall off the edge of that keycap.
