[JT Keycaps]

The actuall anchors keycaps are quite different from those in mockups, you will see this from the group buy pictures

[vindaon]

Really like the purple color and anchor depending on how it actually ends up looking.

[VanGhost]

Will the pom sliders be better than the 3D printed ones? I heard that they were wobbly and weren't really something you would want to use on an entire board.

[radio_killah]

So these go up on the Ctrlalt website tomorrow? Sounds good. I am beyond impressed by this. Thanks for bringing us this awesome product.

[Sed8op8]

Bunny, got any idea on what the production times would be like with JTKeycaps?

Considering the price and similarity to original Cherry and GMK stuff I think these sets will be top priority for a lot of people. Wouldn't surprise me if Signature Plastics starts seeing a downturn in business from here.

Being real though, SP has some serious issues with the way they conduct there GB's.

The Topre-mx compatible sliders make this an insta buy. That's what's made this group buy for me...

And with their qc

[Fire Brand]

Thanks bunny didn't see someone had asked before, still going to get this though c:

[Yslen]

Is JT based in the UK?

I'm in for one or both of these, and unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS) then I can't see myself ever ordering from SP again.

I'm in

[BunnyLake]

so people arent waiting with their breath held

the gb is all ready and on the site, we just need to click go, but itll be happening some time this evening my time most likely

as i have some shipping and other stuff to take care of for the next few hours

[BunnyLake]

we can add additional spacebars to the gb

they come in a pack of 2, so a 6.25 and a 7x

a 2 pack of white would be $2.50
a 2 pack of black would be $2.50
a 2 pack of purple would be $3.50

i dont have a graphic prepared for them yet, but could i get a show of hands if people would like this option included

[BunnyLake]

then ill make  the gb thread and wait for that to be approved, so people around here will have a leg up

Nice!

That purple and black is what I would have wanted the Bro set to be.

Would it be possible in the future to add a HHKB/Realforce (I'm not sure if it's the same on the realforce) MX spacebar that's compatible with the topre stabs? Seeings as this set will be sold along with Topre-mx compatible sliders? And the right 6u size?

depending on these buys success, anything is "possible"

its really in everyones hands as to how justifiable things are in the future

Blank Cherry-profile spacebars?  I am buying white and black.

i'll probably buy one of the first sets just to support the effort (very nice job with the quality and the pricing), but i agree in that some mx-to-topre compatible spacebars would be a real plus for the future. you'd be able to enter your own market space there as well, as now the only accessible replacement option is the black spacebar. every other color currently requires the purchase of an additional set/keyboard once the spacebar starts to develop shine, which is a real terrible position to be put in for topre owners.

i am curious though, do you know if topre/cm has a patent on the mx-style slider? i didn't see anything on the usa patent page, but with ya'll pricing the sliders so aggressively, you're actually likely to hurt cm's novatouch business. and i know they paid for a part of the tooling at topre's plant for them, so with all that money invested they'd be very likely to protect their patent, should they hold one.

getting close

jsut adding the description on the site

i have the gb thread ready

will be any time now

also to note

we have a bit of an issue with the validation settings on the site for the spacebars, so they are gonna be 50 cents more than i mentioned above for a 2 pack, because the site is auto rounding the prices up, and we dont have time to fix it prior to the buy going live
