(https://i.imgur.com/AYtifVh.gif)Ordered.
So much choice I nearly got the wrong mods
Super excited for this one especially having used KAM Little Pilot for the past few weeks. It's a great profile!
Ordered the following from prototypist:
Mods Terminal, Alphas, Novelties, Spacebars, Rama Keycap
:D
what mods is everyone going for? I was going for terminal... but think I'm going to switch over to highlight
New to mechanical keyboards, first time groupbuyer, registered just to say I'm probably not part of the targeted audience for this design, but i'm all for this set day one. With that said I went with the standard mods.You tend to hop on more GBs then needed just to temporarily satiate desire haha
How does one stand the wait from groupbuy start to expected completion date? lol

Good news everyone! We have comfortably exceeded the 54k MOQ in 1 day, so all superuser kits will be made!
So I don't wanna be a Debbie downer for this gorgeous set, but I've been waiting 3-6 months over expected due dates for other Keyreative sets (Atlantis and Oasis), not to mention the huge volumes behind sets like KAT cyberspace, with nothing but foggy due dates coming from the Vendors. Does anyone here know for sure that this company actually delivers products? Just wondering. Thanks,
They've had a tough year for sure and they are undeniably backlogged, but they are currently making some changes bringing injection moulding in house and bringing a lot more brand new dye sub machines online.

The Alphas aren't available on MK.eu… ;D
Where? Says "Out of stock" and I can't find any option to order them anywhere.The Alphas aren't available on MK.eu… ;D
They are. On page 2. :D

Alphas kit no longer available on MK.eu. Weird..... It says Unavailable.I'm guessing their entire backend totally crashed by changing items to "in stock" seeing as it's probably the first time it's happened..

Seems like it's fixed now :)Yep! Ordered. Now I just need to completely forget about this set for a year or so. Very hyped! This is going to be my first proper keycap set. Might order another set too as a backup in case I build another board but I'll take the rest of the month to decide about that.
I'm kinda surprised the highlight mods are so behind the terminal mods. I expected it to be the other way around.
It's somewhat reflecting what I saw in the IC form, but standard is closer to terminal than on IC and highlight is falling a little further behind than IC. Terminal was always meant to be the signature look though and was the original design intention ;)
The terminals mods do look great. I haven't interacted with a command line interface since I was in elementary school over two decades ago but I was still tempted. Something about the highlight mods just hits me right in the DOS nostalgia though.
This might actually be my first set in KAM, so many different kits! Thought i was decided on the mods standard, but mods highlight look so good in the renders, now I can't decide :-\ might have to give up on the deskmat since it's not available on zf :-[

Hmm there seems to be an issue with their website, the mats are available and have been selling but the drop down is being blocked by the panel at the bottom. zFrontier is going off for CNY now but I will ping them about it when they're back!
The workaround is to make a selection, then use your down arrow to select what you actually want, RAMA and deskmats are near the bottom :)

This is awesome! How often do you update these? I see you've made a few for other GBs as well; very nice!Show Image(https://i.postimg.cc/0Pqzy02c/KAMsuperuser-Status210208.png)
Many in Asia encountered difficulties while purchasing KAM Superuser; it seems like the keycaps GB are ONLY accessible through the “Zfrontier International”, excluding the normal Zfrontier.com, which created problems both in paying and choosing kits. Neither the GB show up on Zfronter.com’s front page, nor any form of GB announcement can be found on the website. I heard from the others that the GB did open for a brief period of time on the first day but was soon shut down. Was the GB intentionally set up like this, or was it just a mistake? Pls reply asap, lots are eager to join the GB. :thumb:
Do you know how many NK65's have been ordered.Show Image(https://i.postimg.cc/JM595M5z/KAMsuperuser-Status210212.png)
Sorry, I don't know.Do you know how many NK65's have been ordered.Show Image(https://i.postimg.cc/JM595M5z/KAMsuperuser-Status210212.png)
Greats charts btwThanks!
on the fence about ordering the nk65... Just got into the keyboard game and only have one board, but have another one on reserve that hasn't even been released yet... In the meantime I've gotten 3 set of keycaps, got in GB for 3 more sets, got two sets of switches, and a couple sets of stabs that I can't even use because my current board doesn't even have screw in stab support (and neither does the NK65 for that matter... But! The one on reserve does, even though it'll come with its own pre-clipped/lubed screw in stabs...).
I feel like I've jumped into the hole too quick and forgot to attach the bungee cord. I'm a little scared of myself at this point. :eek:

Sounds to me like you need more keyboards for all those keycaps ;)

On this picture is spacebar in color or modifiers (grey, Pantone 7545C). Is it mistake or spacebars will be black (Pantone 4280C) + grey (Pantone 7545C)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/1fEU6GF.png)

Ah apologies that is an older render that I must have forgotten to update. The kit images and main renders are all correct, the spacebars are either 4280C or 353C :)
Why is there for mods_standard and mods_highlight used label "shift" and for mods_terminal: "raise"?
There is also different between:
mods_standard and mods_highlight: green "execute", grey: "enter"
mods_terminal: green "execute", grey: "execute"
Welp... I couldn't pass. I bought in at the 13th hour (literally after mighight 3/3)
Excited to see final numbers. WILL THIS BE THE BEST SELLING KAM SET OF ALL TIME? STAY TUNED!
Will there be a round 2 of this? Please tell me there is lol
.... time to hibernate!
Not a lot to update as we wait for our spot in the queue! There are still a number of sets ahead of us.
Anyone got a list of what the KAT/KAM dyesub queue looks like at the moment? I kinda lost track once some sets were changed to doubleshot...

Not sure if I'm missing any. I'm gonna guess that Refined, Napoleonic, Crusader and 80s all have to be dye sub and the others could be either way? This is all guessing btw it's difficult to get that kind of information out of them. Many of these are on the small to medium side in terms of order size, Cyberspace and Mizu are the big ones to clear so if Mizu is going doubleshot that's going to help us a lot.
1 million units? is that real?I believe that's # of keys.

As a quick guesstimate, are we looking to a Q1 22 date or is it likely to be pushed even further ahead?

Cheers, thanks for the info!As a quick guesstimate, are we looking to a Q1 22 date or is it likely to be pushed even further ahead?
My gut feeling is that production will commence in Q1 but that delivery to customers will be more likely in Q2. They've been stuck on Cyberspace for a couple of months now it seems and have had Chinese public holidays and been suffering electricity outages recently. So I feel like the whole queue has been shifted a bit now sadly. Cyberspace is 90% done so we'll see how quickly they get through the other orders and which sets move over to double shot! I'm going to start pushing harder for information from November.
Hey everyone and happy new year! I have an update on your production estimate and I am sorry to have to inform you that there has been an additional delay in the estimate for KAM Superuser 😦 zFrontier have posted a full queue schedule for the public to view here: https://en.zfrontier.com/blogs/project-updates/keyreative-keyset-progress-report
Some of you will have already seen this. Superuser has now been given a May production start as opposed to the March/April start on the previous estimation. I know it isn't nice having to wait so long for a product you've ordered but as I'm sure you all know I have little to no control over this process and am waiting the same as you are. I nevertheless appreciate all the patience you have shown so far.
I'm so mad that I missed this. I assume we'll see a round 2 one day since as this was so popular? One can hope. Great looking set.

There will be extras from multiple vendors that originally were involved in the GB. Keep an eye out!
The May production schedule is now sadly unlikely, late May is a possibility but June to July is now what I'm being told is most likely.How likely did it turn out to be? :)
How likely did it turn out to be? :)
Please, please let there be a Nordic kit extra for me!

Hi all I finally have a small update on Superuser for you!
The email I received said and I copy/paste "keyreative has begun injection planning for KAM Superuser". I believe this means they're prepping to make the keys before dye subbing since they do this in house now and need to plan how many of each key needs to be made. So it seems we are getting very close to our production slot now and they have been combing over my kit files as well in preparation.
The second interesting thing is that because of the potential halo issue on homing bars they are seemingly going to be supplying scooped AND barred keys now for every homing key. I tried to clarify this that customers would be receiving both but didn't receive another response. On my latest samples I thought the halo issue was very minimal however now that scooped KAM keys are available, if I have to choose one over the other (which is not what was inferred in the message - it very much sounded like both would be supplied) then I will be choosing to change these to scooped to absolutely avoid any chance of halo imperfections on the homing bars. I think they are conscious both of the halo issue and the fact that the set was sold as having bars and this is why they want to supply both.
That is unfortunately as far as I got in that latest exchange! No further mention of timelines although I think the injection planning says more than any of the previous timeline estimates we've received so far and exceeded.
Not necessarily, it's Keyreative we are talking about. Hopefully it is, but I do suggest to keep expectations low. I was into KAT Cyberspace and am waiting on KAM Superuser and KAT Slurp, and tbh KR has not delivered thing on time NOT EVEN ONCE.Hi all I finally have a small update on Superuser for you!

6 weeks from this update, seems like we should be in production by now?
Novelkeys' ETA is currently Q2 2023 - https://novelkeys.com/pages/Product-Updates
2025 it is
Is this still on?! I thought you guys got your caps year ago :D
Is this still on?! I thought you guys got your caps year ago :D
Nah, as everything with Keyreative, they missed their mark 100% of the time :))
Your signature made me look into 7bit and their GBs, man those are crazy but very interesting. Would love to order something using commands like those, but I did not enter the hobby until 2018 :-[
Lol nah, even though wait times are similar, the level of bs I think is different right? Or they promised you the set in 6 months just to push it to 2.5 years too?Is this still on?! I thought you guys got your caps year ago :D

Yeah, those were good times. 2-3 years wait for GB to finalise etc but those KAT/KAM caps are kinda similar to that :))
Ladies and gentlemen I am pleased to announce that finally, Superuser is in production :cool:
Thank you as always for sticking around for this long, long journey. The end is it sight and you're all champions as far as I'm concerned <3
So they finished KAT Slurp already? This sounds fishy, nothing against you of course, you were told it is in production, but I think Keyreative is pulling a Keyreative on us. Also, I know you have a Discord server, but if you have approved samples I will appreciate if you post them here too.
Question from a "noob" user(i've followed this set long time ago, unfortunately not enough to have joined GB)... when this projects are released... are there any "aditional" sets to users that did not joined at first?

An album of the samples has been posted on page 3 :) (https://imgur.com/a/MY52Sa1) As I mentioned before though, the queue order at this point is not relevant. Many sets have been reordered based on other factors. For instance Li'l Dragon has already started delivering to customer's doors despite having its group buy months later than Superuser or Slurp. Some sets are also being produced concurrently. Superuser was never waiting on Slurp to complete, it was waiting on Mizu to complete :)

Argggg... I'm in doubt... "shut up and take my money" .... Or being patient and trust mykeyboard.eu ... Quite an amount in customs is the difference... And having read about mykeyboard not the most reliable seller these days.... Any advice?I can't look into your wallet or see how much you desire this set... but seeing this set is on it's way I contacted them to update my shipping address, the response was swiftly I must say.
Seems like Keyreative still can't figure out what is a spacebar and what isn't. Honestly so confused why they didn't convex the 1.5u spacebars and adhere to the kitting (they also failed this on KAT Mizu)
Any chance we can get these remolded? These were literally the only bars I planned to use lol. Already contacted Novelkeys.

Was that from MyKeyboard.eu? Have they announced any shipping updates?
Did anybody in Europe get these yet?
I've purchased two sets from MK.eu (back in 2021 like everyone else) but since then I moved out of Europe. I've send them email week or two ago that I would like to change my address (same country just different address) but didnt hear back from them and I can still see old address in the system. If it will be shipped to that address, it will get lost and I will never see it.
Last week I purchased a set from stock that NK have and I've already received it (intl shipping). Hearing that MK.eu has money/management problems is really disappointing. I understand how GB works and I supported my fair share of Kickstarter campaigns. I can live with loosing the money (altho I wont be happy about it), but I really wanted to have set I've purchased back in 2021. Right now all I can do is either buy one more from NK or wait to see if MK will ship their orders (and if they update my address). I can only hope that they do that before NK stock sells out otherwise I'm gonna end up with the kit I purchased last week. And once NK stock sells out, it's gonna be impossible to purchase another one. I still have hope that it will eventually come, but that hope is dropping day by day. Sorry for a rant.
Just checked the status of this GB, I pre-ordered back when it was live, MK.eu still shows order status as pending, does anyone know what's happening over there with regards to superuser ? Not sure where else to get updates...latest news was from 17 october on their discord
Update about Zfrontier goods, these are currently being prepared for Air shipment (est. travel time is 15 days+customs)kam superuser is part of that shipment I believe... so my guess it arrives somewhere in 1st or 2nd week of November, and maybe is sent out by MK.eu in second half of November.
Is there any news on the status of MK.eu orders? Have they obtained financing or reached an agreement with the manufacturers?no real update. It is stuck in customs apparently. However the lack of news have people riled up on the MK.eu discord.
We are pleased to announce that KAM Superuser has been delivered to our warehouse. We will begin shipping it out to you this week.
I just got email from MK.eu last night:Yep, just got it in...QuoteWe are pleased to announce that KAM Superuser has been delivered to our warehouse. We will begin shipping it out to you this week.
After that they are asking me to update the delivery address. It's happening!
