JTK Tripleshot Griseann and JTK Royal Alpha
Featuring brand new tripleshot molds

Hineybush's HBCP

___________________________________________________

But why?
I love GMK Griseann but sadly it's not available and the aftermarket cost of them are too high for me to justify.

Since we have the technology to tripleshot keycaps now, thanks to JTK, I thought to myself why can't we do Griseann in tripleshot.

After speaking to zFrontier (and getting the go ahead from the Griseann runner), I learned that in order to achieve tripleshot for this set, I would need to run 2 base kits utilizing these molds. This led to the creation of JTK Royal Alpha. I've tried my very best to merge the best of both sets since one is icon mods and the other is icon+text. Additionally, since JTK's side pad printing is not very good, I have opted to go entirely tripleshot on the caps.

In regards to ePBT Royal Alpha (since this will come up): ePBT vs JTK, in stock vs GB, also Donutcat gave me the thumbs up.

Q&A
Q: Will these be shipped in JTK trays
A: I know for a fact that the base kit will come in a JTK tray (a value of $10!)

Q: Why is this more expensive than the usual JTK sets I've seen on Novelkeys?
A: These are brand new molds which made these a little bit more expensive than usual.

Q: Why are there a partial alpha set?
A: The extra partial alpha set are all keys that have new tripleshot molds. During the process of tripleshotting, doubleshot versions have to be made. This mean we had 2 options: keep them or throw them away (we chose to just keep them and add them into the base set at no additional cost).

Q: Why is Royal Alpha not all white?
A: I originally had a green mods kit but for our high MOQ (for the base kit) along with other factors made it very hard to justify having it. Now since the MOQ is very high, I have to appeal to the two largest purchasers of this set and both audiences were pretty split. TLDR, high MOQ, sacrifices had to be made.

I believe we've just found the first set I want to purchase that includes sub legends. It's gorgeous! My only thing is, I'd want to put this on a retro board, and I'm a Mac user, so if there's any way we could get some 1.5u GUI keys, it would be huge! Great design. Love it!

As one of Royal Alpha's biggest fans I love you. Let's make this a thing.

If the base kits are like 70, I will take both.

****ing all of them please!

This question in the IC didn't really make sense to my old boomer brain:

"Classic Hiragana had a spacebar kit that was a little smaller than this and it was $13, should I cut some out or leave it as is?
Yes
No"

Could be clearer which choices Yes and No refer to. Also hard to answer without the context of what the space bar kit would cost here...?

konstantin · « **Reply #21 on:** Mon, 04 May 2020, 19:52:12 »

Love the idea, I'm definitely on board. Especially for Griseann, mmm yummy.

That X-box backspace icon in the kit render is an absolute unit

Puddsy · « **Reply #22 on:** Mon, 04 May 2020, 19:55:32 »

oh one thing about JTK is that they don't use molds the same way JTK/SP do, so it's a lot harder to do mod/accent kits, so be open to dropping those

unless something has changed, that is

dallman5 · « **Reply #23 on:** Mon, 04 May 2020, 20:25:32 »

I haven’t seen a recent JTK text+icon set. Do they still do the icon only 1.75u shift? I know your renders have text+icons, so it’d be pretty cool if you could get them to actually get the legend right for once.

Anyway, cool set concepts. In for royal alpha and maybe even Griseann if the price is right

Super key is the best we'll probably get but I'll see what I can do

Then it'd turn into 3 base kits which I'd prefer not to.

I fixed the question to "Is the spacebar kit too big?" I found it hard to word it in a way that compared the Classic Hiragana to the what the spacebar kit is.

Aiming for $100 or less.

From what I can see in JTK Classic Hiragana, they should have the icon text 1.75U shift

I'd really want this to be $100 or less, but we'll have to see what JTK says. Classic Hiragana ran at a $100 base kit price so one can hope.

****Also fixed the IC form, I realized that for the kits I didn't do check boxes.

ArchDill · « **Reply #27 on:** Mon, 04 May 2020, 21:43:14 »

The hard part would be picking between the two. I have always admired griseann.

Count me in for royal alpha and green mods. Pleaseee!!

Yes yes yes, thank you so much for doing this

wencan008 · « **Reply #31 on:** Tue, 05 May 2020, 00:18:57 »

I'll take one of each. Picked up JTK Cyrillic Tripleshot second hand because I wanted a WoB with colored sublegends, but I've always wanted Griseann. Been following EPBT Royal Alpha but would much prefer a tripleshot royal alpha. Guess I'm gonna have to stop joining other GBs now to save up for these.

nephlock · « **Reply #32 on:** Tue, 05 May 2020, 00:51:25 »

I’ll take one of “it all” please!

Slayer77 · « **Reply #33 on:** Tue, 05 May 2020, 01:17:32 »

I would rather take the set at 100 rather than 95 or so, 100 means free shipping on zF!

Griseann is great. I'll be looking forward to that one. But I own the GMK Royal alpha set and am planning to buy the ePBT version of it soon on KBDFans. So, probably no more Royal Alpha for me. All Royaled out

Mcnos · « **Reply #37 on:** Tue, 05 May 2020, 02:07:48 »

Been waiting for epbt Royal alpha but that hasn't moved in a long time

So essentially I just copied JTK Classic Hiragana's spacebar kit and added the black and white bars to it.

2 ways of going about this.
1) Adding all the black spacebars to Griseann and white spacebars to Royal Alpha
2) Leaving it as is, considering JTK Classic Hiragana's spacebar kit was only $13 from Novelkeys

This is one of the questions on the IC form (sorta)

Ensaum · « **Reply #43 on:** Tue, 05 May 2020, 09:55:29 »

So down for this. I have GMK RA, but it's pad printed and incomplete.
