Hi everyone,
I was wondering what the white Alphas would look like with the white Mods and since I didnt't see a render with them, I hacked this together.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/mEWxwMp.png)
guess I have to add the white Mods to my order...
:thumb: quite impressive - also the distribution of kits - as north user just 11 kits is really low - thank KAT for making the low sold kits possible. KAT > GMK
The impressive thing is how vocal that subset of the community is despite having such a small market share.
Seeing the difference (at least here) in North and Colevrak makes me wonder why I've seen so many ICs and GBs with colevrak support but no NORDE support.Lol where does this ever happen? Do you have an example, because I want to see. Aaaalso the sample size here is literally below 20 ;)
Might seems like a silly question, i have KAT alpha and wanted to match with this, are the legends exactly the same font or it changed during time? (well kat alpha was the first)
The cable for this GB looks very similar to the one for GMK Masterpiece - light edition?
Or are they actually exactly the same?
Here are the links to both:

i think the only different is the paracord colour.
Cable consists of the following(KAT Arctic):
150 cm // 28 AWG wire
Paracord // Baby Blue
Techflex // White
Heatshrink // black/White/Grey
20cm - Coil
Aviator
Connector 1/2

And here's what a TKC Molly would look like with the frostbite alphas with the colevrak kit for a Colemak DH layout.omg endgame 😍

e. jokes aside, where did you find this layout? that's not normal colemak dh.
Oh shoot! Did I find the wrong reverence picture? I'm a regular colemak user making this for a fellow colemak user but with the DH mod. Or so I thought.
A beautiful set with the ability to have AZERTY layout was too good to pass on, I pulled the trigger :DSame here!
Hi, just a question. This was my first group buy and I'm new to this community. I am just starting to create my own mechanical keyboard, and I bought this keycaps on novelkeys. I had a mistake on buying the wrong kit, I was supposed to buy the Arctic Icon Modifiers instead of Otter Icon Modifiers. I read that you cannot cancel group buy orders, but since the GB will run until June 1, would they still accept cancellation of orders since I was planning to buy the right kit for my build.Please reach out to the vendor you bought the sets from. They'll help you sort it out.

Just ordered Arctic Alphas, Arctic Icon Mods and Beluga, really looking forward to putting this on a white board, brrrrrrrrrrr!
Hey is 1st of June included or excluded? Need to wait to get a reply for b2b transaction from one of the vendors.
Hi, is there any update on the progress?
Given that Keyreactive hasn’t gotten under 9-10 months yet save for their blanks kits, and that KAT Explosion and Atlantis are currently estimated at 9-12 months, I’d be pretty surprised if this wasn’t well into next year.
I think expressing keyreactive estimates as months is a little too granular and quarters might be better. Q2 seems a reasonable guess?
The misaligned keys are kind of worrying, but the colors look great in the photos! I'm excited to get them at last :)
Awesome to see progress!
I'm glad I'm not using the standard R shift or the white alphas, so things are looking up.
Plus I have this brand new NK65 just dying to have these keycaps on it.
Just got my shipping notification from zFrontier! Hopefully, my set will arrive by Monday, and I can get them onto my Alpine65 (seems appropriate) that evening.
Got my frostbite kit today... I was pretty hopeful from what I've been hearing from others, but jeez is the alignment bad. My nine also has a random black spot... despite being a white dye-subbed key.
(note the my lighting is not great and the white spots on the keys are not actually visible)

The good: this is the first time I've ever tried KAT. I like the profile and sound.
@IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES thanks for the review, it gives a good picture of what to expect from KAT. I’m glad they seem to be transitioning to scooped homing keys for later reverse dyesubs, at least.
As someone who’s just tried KAT for the first time, how would you compare the profile to Cherry, feel wise? I think with all the issues, that’s probably the deciding factor in choosing whether or not to enter GBs/aftermarket for these in their current state. Wondering if a GMK Arctic would beat this just on overall QC alone...
This is the importance of photographs. Right now GMK oblivion R2 has ~20x the documentation of issues an order of magnitude less bad than what we're seeing here (none from me, this is the first time I've posted about issues related to quality on geekhack out of whatever thousand posts) and what keyreactive needs is some lessons in QC, because they think this crap is tolerable.
I'm glad for you. I dont like scooped. I paid money for sets with bars, they can make the bars.
