Hello,
I'm pretty noob on this matter, so please be nice ;)
I own a Vortex ViBE ISO-FR, and will buy ASAP a Vortex Tab 90M ISO-FR. What would be the kit combo so that I could change the keyset on those keyboards?
I'm guessing: Calc+Baguette+Alpha+Modifiers, but I'm not sure about Specialities.
the vortex ViBE ISO-FR can be seen here: https://gamers-industry.com/wp-content/uploads/vortex-vibe-05.jpg
I don't have a pict for the Tab 90M with ISO-FR, here is ANSI Tab 90M: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/images/products/large_Tab90M_main.jpg
and here is probably a prototype of ISO-UK Tab 90M (second keyboard):

Vibe requires alphas + mods + calc
And you can add specialties (and spacebar kit if you use split spacebars) for the second one.

Skipping Colevrak and going Katakana instead. Would have jumped on Weirdo Colevrak.
A lot of people use katakana/hiragana etc because it's good looking, whereas a very small amount of people use dvorak etc.
Totally make sense to me :)

Nope, it's a bit warmer!

I think baguette moq goal should be corrected on CandyKeys. Maybe that will attract more people if they know goal is reached.usually its combined - candykeys sales are live updated and the other sales are added every 1 - 3 days
Btw : moq progression is across all proxies or just for CandyKeys ?
I think that even now every kit would be produced anyway - but until end of september sales will be overwhelming ;)
dit: from candykeys website Above you can find the progress of all Kits, they are updated automatically with EU purchases, and World-Wide Purchases are updated every day on top.

Small question. If one kit did not make MOQ (like katakanas I ordered), we get a refund ? :p
yep, but we will reach all the MOQs don't worry :thumb:

Has anyone ever tested PBT with organic solvents ? Can I label the blanks and then clean them with Ethanol or Iso Propanol and label thrm with something different?
This will really get an expensive buy ...
Sorry for asking again, everyone uses blank as blank - or ever tried to label them ?

PBT with organic solvents ?Propan-(x)-ol will not affect most thermoplastics. Even short-chain glycol ethers won't. THF will. Ketones will.

Just wanted to know if anyone has more experience here - as organic chemistry is some years in the past...

Question: I am planning on putting this on a RAMA 80U-A or a Square 80. Forgive my ignorance I'm still getting into the custom board game and this will be the first kit I have purchased that it so piecemeal. I'm thinking I will need Alphas, Modifiers, and Specialties to cover the board. Am I missing something else? Mostly looking for a temperature check I'd hate to buy and realize I'm missing the correct Tab key or something...
I have attached images of board layouts.
Yep, any alpha kit, modifiers and specialties :thumb:

I have another question, will these caps block RGB ? i still yet to get the keyboard itself and i plan to make these caps my main caps, and if these caps wont show RGB i think i will get a keyboard without it!
Thanks
The keycaps are opaque - you'll be able to see the RGB between caps, but won't see it through the caps.

Skipping Colevrak and going Katakana instead. Would have jumped on Weirdo Colevrak.
Bought Weirdos, Katakana, AND Alphas+Colevrak because I had to show my support for the Colevrak option. Plus also Nomad and Ortho. Excited for this and looking forward to the Deskmat!

Oh man, I've been waiting for so long for the Milkshakes keycaps to be available again, but in DSA, not this "KAT" profile... now I'm genuinely sad.
If you haven't tried KAT, I really do recommend trying it. The sculpt is super subtle but really comfortable, and the texture is silky smooth. My favourite by far.

If you haven't tried KAT, I really do recommend trying it....Thanks for the comment!; I was more interested in a DSA set (or even XDA) because of its "uniformity", I don't like that much the profiles where the height goes up towards the R1 rows; but this being "Milkshakes", it's pretty tempting.

* C is an R4 key while cherries are available for R2
* S is an R3 key while strawberries are available for R4
* G is an R3 key while grapes are available for R4
* P is an R2 key while pears are available for R3
* A is an R3 key while apples are available for R4
* There is an R3 lime for L
* There is an R4 banana for B
I'm not sure if there's a logic to the current arrangement of fruits, but it seems like with a couple of swaps and an additional key or two this is a neat thing that could be done. I know the GB is already in progress. It's just an idea for the future.
Edit: Onion -> Pear

Did dogs kits purposely only provide two colors on one row (R3) so they we couldnt make an all white version of GMK Dots ? If there were more colors on R3 thats exactly what I would have done. Actually maybe Ill just omit R3 and make White Dots by buying a bunch of these kits.
Blanks DIY dots ;) ? - thats what I will try , along with other ideas for blanks
I think Biip thought about offering whote dots with this milkshake run, buthe didnt like the looks
Ah here it is I initially planned to make Dots alphas and Dots modifiers for Milkshake but it didn't look good and there were already so many kits

I feel like Dots alphas are spot on the money. But only with blank mods. Dots on mods would loook poopish

I now summed up all the kits I am considering on getting and with the m6-c I total at around 400 bucks. This is not sane right? Not sure what my endgame will be and what I'll need for it so I'd rather cover myself neck-deep in a variety of kits but that seems a little excessive.

So, i think I need a reality check.I did about 300, without M6... just to try and cover 2 60pct boards in a mix/match style.

I love this set. I've been holding out until the end of the month for my new credit card cycle! (Take that future me) however, that sales graph worries me. I'm in for full size coverage. If I can't get calc, then for me there's no point. That's what I don't like about split sets, I do like this style though: alphas, mods, novelties, secondaries.

Well its a pretty good chunk of the way there, and this set lasts until the 30th so it should be fine. Can't speak for the vendors obviously but I'd say every kit will be making it based on the current numbers.

Well for me, you really scratched all my itches - you did a Colevrak kit, which means I had to get it+Alphas. I'm a weeb too, so I had to get Katakanas. And, damn, those weirdos are fun, so I need those too. Crap, that's like three alpha kits, so I better get a bunch of mod kits to fill out the keebs I have the alphas on.
When you think about it, you have no one to blame for your success but yourself.

Sadly, the factory isn't able to do white deskmats like that anymore. Their defect rate is really high apparently.

I sent a message to Candykeys and they mentioned they would carry the deskpads too

I'm sure nobody will be troubled by a delay. The most important thing is that China gets the upper hand swiftly.

Unfortunately the Chinese Year holidays + coronavirus lockdown shaved off 2 months of production time from them. They are moving as fast as possible. And they are also hiring to boost manufacturing capacity.

The vendors should have extras available once the GB sales are all sent out, just keep an eye out for them.

Thanks for the update Mike! I'm still very excited to get this. :thumb:
Current circumstances notwithstanding, I'm a bit concerned about all the KAT sets at this point. This was already a 6 month lead time before the world coughed and I have yet to put my fingers on this profile. I've got 4 others purchased so I'm going to hold off on KAT now until I have Milkshake in hand to play with. Yeah, I may kick myself later, but hey, I already have a key set to keyboard ratio of like 10:1 so....
Hope June delivery happens!

However, light bleed from the colored caps is pretty bad. While the white caps are completely opaque, the colored caps bleed quite a bit of light, showing all the posts and such. Not a big deal, as I run without backlight now anyways, but worth mentioning. In my case I had soldered through hole single color LEDs when I first built my board, so I'm pretty sure my PCB doesn't support per key LED customization. Maybe someone with a PCB with RGB LEDs can just locally disable the LEDs under wherever they have colored caps.

I've got some pretty misaligned legends for my top row, misaligned milks, and dots seem inconsistent (could also be the profile messing with my eyes).
Fwiw, all are offset to the right it seems.

These keycaps have not been used, or even mounted. They should not have been shipped.
Other annoyances:

Swirl marks on the stepped Caps (another user has shown mis-aligned stepped Caps)
https://imgur.com/hU6cZFC
(https://i.imgur.com/hU6cZFC.jpg)
Random marks on the keycap.
I feel the rushed manufacturing has ruined this otherwise good colour way.
Lets see how Keycreative and Big Cat deal with the QC issues and issue replacements. Drop had issued MT3 replacement caps, and those were much smaller issue.

Ive got those swirl marks and it seems its mis-aligned length wise?
PS: Ignore the left shift spacing. It's my switch.
(https://i.imgur.com/w9DORB0.jpg)
Also a length issue with at least the yellow backspace.
Granted, maybe the length stuff is my keyboard? Ill have to double check on my F key alignments.
Colorwise, its fantastic. A nice, matte white and vibrant colors.
Edit: Looking it over, I think its my slash key thats a little too long rather than the yellow backspace.
Post by: biip on Mon, 08 June 2020, 04:10:25
I was as surprised as you and would like to apologize for the legends alignment issues.
It's always tough to blame someone when stuff went bad but apparently the QC from the manufacturer has been rushed.
Some issues are unacceptable.
Keyreative will provide replacements keycaps.
We're working with vendors at this moment to find the best solution.
We might set up a Google Form for that. You can already start taking pics of your defective keycaps :thumb:
Sorry for the inconvenience...
I keep you all in touch. Not all the vendors are awake yet.
Thanks for understanding!

We will be going through each delivered set one by one - we already have a extra short-term employee planned who will go through this key by key otherwise it is a big feat for us. Each key that is faulty will be taken out and we will mix and match keys so we can compile as many kits as possible and send them to customers asap. It is unfair that all customers would have to wait so long due to Keyreatives mistakes. We will be sending out to customers by A. Chronology and then B. If you are non EU based you will also be pushed back as COVID is STILL putting holds on exports. Thank you for the wait and apologies about the fact that this has happened. Sending out sets and letting the customers pick is simply not a OK option as due to taxes and shipping costs to EU countries we would end up not even breaking even on the GB. If you have any questions please @ me - Thanks and take care! - David

To throw my 2 cents in, I also have some issues with my stepped Capslock.
Ive got those swirl marks and it seems its mis-aligned length wise?
PS: Ignore the left shift spacing. It's my switch.
Also a length issue with at least the yellow backspace.
Granted, maybe the length stuff is my keyboard? Ill have to double check on my F key alignments.
Colorwise, its fantastic. A nice, matte white and vibrant colors.
Edit: Looking it over, I think its my slash key thats a little too long rather than the yellow backspace.
I retract my statement about the length of the stepped capslock. It seems my board is not quite right (which RIP), and everything looks good on the right side. Still withholding judgement on the left side.

Unfortunately, I don't have Specialties, just Ortho. I would be interested in buying your alphas though if you have a kit to spare.

KAT Milkshake has arrived
KAT Milkshake is now in and we are going through QC. We expect the first news on shipping to customers this weekend.

Any Europeans got info about when to expect their caps? It's been two weeks since the arrival announcement and I really want my milkshakes so I can store them because I still have to wait for my board to put them on ;D
We will get a shipping notification. Because earlier purchases are served first and I bought late (took me a while to puzzle everything together with my first KAT), I personally expect my set maybe in couple of weeks.
tl;dr It depends when you placed your order :thumb:

Got notification from CandyKeys that my Milkshake is ready... although DPD is slacking as usual and has not picked up the parcel yet for several days now (easy fix - will choose DHL next time).
Anyway, really stoked and hope you guys finally receive yours as well!

Anyone else have issues with the ISO Enter key cap? Both (white and green), when put on stabs, get stuck and do not come up again. My theory is that the stems where the stabs are connected to are bent slightly outwards and create too much friction within the stab. I tried different brands of stabs with the same result. The ANSI Enter does not seem to have this issue. I will test further but this is a serious issue for me right now.What stabs are you using? C3, durock or cherry? I've heard C3 will exhibit this due to too tight of tolerances.

Having some pretty major issues with the keycaps I received. They have this dark outline on all of the legends. It makes them look fuzzy at a distance.Fwiw my set has this same fuzziness. Might be normal (even if you get a replacement it might be the same)

I've tried on three boards:
1. north facing switch, Everglide stabilizer: no issues
2. south facing switch, Everglide stabilizer: no issues
3. west facing switch, Everglide stabilizer: binding with both Enters
Half of my boards have rotated switch for ISO Enter ...

Interesting, I have also tested on an empty board to rule out the switch with two different stabilizers with the same result.

KAT is a major contender; for me best of sound and king of texture along with SA. Profile is amazing as well.
Milkshake is such a nice concept, each board likely looks unique because there are so many possibilities. Thanks, biip! <3
Anyone else have issues with the ISO Enter key cap?Using a stock Ducky One 2 TKL: white Enter works ok, but not perfect perfect (very slight binding). Green Enter has enough binding to make it unusable (on that board). This is the only issue I have with the set.
EDIT: both ISO Enter keys work fine now, I do not know what my problem was earlier...

You should send these images to your vendor and ask for replacement.

Anyone willing to sell their KAT Milkshake keycaps? I'm bummed that I missed the second GB.
If not, is there a way to stay notified next time it goes up for GB?
You might have better luck finding sellers in the Classifieds subforum (https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=59.0) or in the MechMarket subreddit (with all the usual disclaimers for community purchases, I bear no responsibility for this recommendation!).
As for staying notified, note that re-runs of keysets in this hobby are not guaranteed, but you might want to join biip's Discord server, which you can find a link for near the bottom of the post for the GMK Parcel group buy (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=112613.0).

I just received 2x ISO enters (white and green) out of nowhere. I originally ordered from CandyKeys, but these came directly from China. I never contacted anyone regarding replacements. Perhaps CandyKeys replaced all ISO enter orders?
Same for me, got them out of the blue on Christmas Eve from CK :cool: - very happy about that, since the original pair gives me mild problems; see above. Thanks CandyKeys :thumb:
