Heya, here to show the world of GeekHack my newest project, JTK Arctic. You can find my reddit thread here https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/9b5ljl/ic_jtk_arctic_previously_epbt_arctic/
My goal is to provide custom keysets that people would love at a more affordable rate
Expecting to run this GB here in a couple of weeks.
[attach=1]
Note: working adding ISO and accent numpad enter key, possibly adding novelties and a few other changes, I just woke up so give it time
Base set will include accents so no need to buy extra kits or anything like that
I'd like to get your feedback and questions on this project and what you would like to see different.
Credit for renders goes out to Plexabyte and the beautiful Lumina developed by Tesletron (His GB is still running right now at Luminakb.com)

Yes
-
I would be in for this one!
-
If previous JTK sets are any indication of price for this set, I am most definitely in. This set looks great.

Yeah, working on getting prices to Hana/Raindrop prices nearing 72$ but that's best scenario. Would love to get a price that low but idk what magic they pulled off there lol.
-
Definitely love the clean look of this. So you're looking at adding ISO support? Does JTK have ISO enter and 1.25 left shift support?
Either way I'm definitely in if this can go for a reasonable price, not a deal breaker for me.
-
the colorway looks really good :)
-
Wonder what alpha color are you gonna use? Hope it's as white as possible, maybe like Hana.
-
I'm interested!
-
It looks really nice on that lumina. Too bad that's not the blue that lumina is offering.
Reminds me of a space cadet with white alphas. Pretty cool. I like this subtle color of blue.
-
Split spacebar support?
-
Note: I will be adding ISO and accent numpad enter key
I did not know JTK made ISO, you better not be trolling me :3
I'm in!
-
Looks nice! Will have a hard time saying no to this one with JTKs pricing
-
Is split spacebar kit a possibility?
-
I'm interested! ;D
-

:eek: How did you know? Have you been reading my emails? It is the same white as Hana. It will be white as hell
Split spacebar support?
Probably not..
-
JTK has ISO support, it just costs a fair bit extra because it's hard to do, apparently. They don't have split space support unless you pay extra for like... 10-12 more keys.

Thanks for the clarification, I will be in contact with JTK on getting some kits and moq set up for these options. Thanks Puddsy!

gmk hydro, but better.
nice.
-
Yep this is perfect, can we just get this GB going I want it on a board asap!
-
Update: Still sorting things out with JTK and zFrontier.
Also designing some novelty designs at the moment.
I do have a question, how interested would everyone be for a base set without novelties?
-
I would be happy with just the base set without novelties

I would be down for a kit w/o novelties. That's not to say I don't want novelties, but I'm more interested in the keyset.
-
Interested. The color of white part could be add a little of grey will be nice!

Do you mean for the alphas or the modifiers?

Did JTK made any fix to legends recently OP?
-

JTK has made fixes, yes.
I'm not familiar with the gist of how well they did the fix, but as I'm concerned they're done pretty well for it's price.
-
Any updates on the set?
-

Yes, IIRC JTK was the first set they made with the fixed legends. I got a set and it was a pretty good improvement over older sets
-
Update on everyone with status of novelties
What do you all think, those who are watching?

Preference is for the wolf and snowflake novelties :)
-
I'm already a probably buy, but I'd be 100% in with that bear novelty. They all look nice though, and the snowflake seems like a no brainer
-
Removing Render <
-
They all look dope IMHO, I'd buy them 👌
-
Does JTK do icon mods?
-
Does JTK do icon mods?
It's a new thing that they're working on. I can't go into details but short answer, yes.
-
Nice! We need more JTK sets!
-
Added some more renders (Novelties are still pending design changes, may not be 100% accurate)
Take a look will ya :)
Working on getting the GB started soon, a few more renders will be coming soon along with added compatibility.
Renders by Janglad

I don't believe JTK has icon mods. Nice colors, though.

New molds according to JTK :)

He mentioned it to me but I guess it wasn't ready yet.

Yeah,
from what he's mentioned to me is that it's ready so we're going to go forward with icon mods, should be first set out from JTK with icons.
-
There's a big color difference in the renders between the renders from Janglad and from Plexabyte. Which one do you think represents the end product the best? Especially the mods are a whole different kind of grey.
-
No chance to add 2U space in there is it? I really like the set.

They will be matching custom color for pantone code 8181C for accents as well as N9 for Modifiers. May be room for discrepancy as to why I have two sets of renders.
Will definitely be a darker modifier though I can confirm as it's not a custom color which is N9, the renders from Plexabyte was a bit outdated. I'll remove them when I get a chance

I thought JTK didn't have an ISO mould, didn't realise it was just price that was actually the limiting factor! What's the likelihood of ISO happening do you reckon? Not a dealbreaker for me personally, but would be really nice to have it =].

In the future maybe for JTK but for this set it's not happening :(

No worries, I was surprised to see it mentioned in the first place. Really like the set regardless =]

I could have set up an ISO enter but for any further ISO compat keys it would be a large amount of money involved, thus increasing price.

Update: Currently waiting on JTK and ZF and we will be starting GB shortly after, hope to see you there and thank you for supporting me and JTK
Also will be working with Candykeys for EU folks if things go well.

Lot of things happened, such as the tsunamis and the recent holiday in China. Should be soon as we're verifying final edits and decisions
-
Can't wait :)
-
Awww yeah. I can't wait. I love me some JTK sets
A bunch of us in Australia would love this set. Happy to proxy it via the DailyClack store.
-
Can't wait as well! I would love DailyClack(phatty) as an Australian proxy, would be super convenient for us :D
-
I pmed you on TypeHype Phatty. Didn't notice there was Aussies interested lol
-
Haha,
There's always Aussies interested. We just shy away a lot because shipping is downright nasty to get things here.
-
Okay, so an update here.
Apologies ahead of time, this was meant to be ran a lot soon and I've been saying "soon this", "soon that"
This recent tsunami/hurricane has really but everything in a clusterf***
Me and JTK came to a final conclusion on the final set being offered. There were some things I'd have liked to add but I'm also looking out for cost efficiency as well as providing best options for multiple sorts of people.
Pricing should come soon
Vendors are including: zFrontier, Candykeys, and hopefully Daily Clack if things go well. If there are any questions, feel free to ask.
-
So, recent news. Price from ZFrontier is at 80USD + Shipping in tray
Hope to see you along

No ISO is a bummer (for me - I know most people won't think the same ^^) but that does look nice and that's a great price!
Do you have an ETA?

Group Buy will start next week soon as ZF gets all set up, and the buy should last a month. I'd estimate Q1 of next year for completion, but as we all know, JTK is quite busy with Hana and what-not.

Follow up with the above comment,
GB Starts on Monday Oct 22 and will end on Nov 21.
Vendors will be Zfrontier (en.zfrontier.com) at 80 USD with 16.80 Flat Shipping
Proxies include Australia with https://dailyclack.com/ and European region with https://www.candykeys.com/
These will be shipped with Trays at 162 Keys including novelties/accents
Estimated completion will be around Q1 2019 and I will be strict with the color matching to get this as perfect as we can get.
