Thanks for letting us be a part of this buy! We're happy to be getting this set out to Australia.

I would like to disclose that the price descrepancy between the $80 USD on zFrontier and the $85 USD (converted to USD) on Daily Clack is to account for GST. We are putting in a bit on our end to cover a bit of the tax and keep the cost low.

If you need to reach me you can find me on AUMK, the Discord, or on Reddit, as well as here.

Blue is 8181c
Modifier was based on 11c but jtk is gonna use a tad darker tone so I can't provide a Pantone.
White is same as Hana, ws1? I'm in bed typing this with one hand, not remembering, I'll come back to this later tonight lol

Not sure if you were referring to me or not but I can confirm they are cherry profile and 1.5mm+ thick (some I measured were closer to 2 but I was just using a tape measure so not exactly calliper levels of accuracy or consistency). Personally I rate them as very decent, especially for the price. There are some very minor legend inconsistencies on a few of the keys (though I believe another round of refinements has taken place since the most recent set I own). Are they as good as GMK? Not quite but they are very close (many people seem to think GMK are perfect, they aren't but they are extremely good). I guess you could liken it to say comparing a VW to a BMW perhaps? Maybe that's a bad example, but I think in terms of value $80 for JTK is better than $130+ for GMK if that makes any sense? (diminishing returns and all that, which I'm sure is true towards the upper end in any hobby, audio is the one that immediately springs to mind for myself)

So I guess I misread or misunderstood something somewhere but I joined the gb from ZF a couple weeks ago but I'm in US. Does that mean I'm not getting a set if I dont re order from the new US vender?

It means that you can get it cheaper from Kono. As they are the US proxy, what you would need to do is refund with ZF and purchase through Kono as it is cheaper shipping. But if you don't refund you will still receive your set from ZFrontier. Only thing that changed is we are offering cheaper shipping options for these keysets. It's a bit late with the addition of Kono but still worth adding in for the options.

Remember, there is a Shishi raffle included for those who are in the GB

Also I realized I never mentioned it, but the pantones that will be matched for these are

8181C - Blue-Gray
11C - Cool Gray (Dark modifiers)

Update 12/25:

I have not forgotten about this, so JTK is currently waiting for payment from our vendors. Looks like the Chinese holiday is going to conflict with our plans, and it seems production may get delayed.

I apologize for the delay and lack of updates.

On other news, keep an eye out for an email from our vendors regarding the Shishi raffles.

Any chance we can get an update when vendors plan on sending out details for the matching shishi raffle? I feel like I might miss the email since Gmail auto-sorts certain things into the promotional category and then I never see a push notification for it.

Needless to say that there's been some delays.

So it was supposed to be finished by around this/next month.

But we had issues with getting payment over to JTK from our vendors so of course, production and sampling got delayed and then CNY happened.

So we're looking to get manufacturing and sampling this coming month.

Apologies again for the delay, I hope this update is suffice.

I'm sure Mcnos is doing everything he can to ensure the manufacturer is getting the color right. It would be best for all of us to patiently wait and let the man do his thing. If this somehow extends over 6 months and you no longer feel like a part of it, just hit me up and I'll buy your spot to save all the potential drama.

Arctic is currently finishing up the color matching process. After that it will begin production right away. No real timeline, but just a ROUGH guess would be these should be completed around middle of May.

Thanks Mike, you are correct. This is the stage we are at for this time. CNY and other situations have put us behind schedule and I apologise for the delay.

I'm not happy with R1 samples so I am having them re-do.

@Mcnos,

Any chance you could show us how the R1 came out? Any photos?! I understand if changes are going to happen to the colors/legends but I am just chomping at the bit to see how these are starting to look!

Totally understand if you don't want to share because it was that far off, but I just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. 

Appreciate your hard work on this gorgeous set. <3

Keep in mind, that the color is being re-done and JTK was using different pantone materials than what I have on hand.

I am working to get this completely correct.

The white should be the same as Hana. I like the purity of it.

As for the gray, it should be an easy fix

The blue-gray is the challenge.

Mcnos,

Just curious because I am unfamiliar with these types of delays. I totally agree that making sure it is right is more important than speed, but do you have a new ETA for when this amazing set will be in our hands?

I have an ice-themed board just waiting for these caps so that it can finally be posted on /r/mk. :P

Most likely you'll receive an email, if you bought arctic, to enter the raffle for the chance to buy an artisan. Limited keys so not everyone will get to buy one.

I'm not sure why Kono still has it for Pre-Order.

It ended in December, I would email them and check if it's still purchasable.

I think it would be a nice treat to open it only for purchasers. Otherwise the pool is going to get really big.

I'd assume they are allowing "pre-orders" for the eventual extras, as it's 10 bucks more than the GB price. I have seen other vendors do this as well.

I really hope it’s only for those who entered the gb ahead of time or the pool will be giant. Isn’t it also an incentive to enter the gb when it was active to be able to participate in the raffle?

True,

I sent an email out to the vendors, lets see if they respond.  If I can't get ZF to join then I will have to figure a way.

Haha,

As per JTK, they're not sure they can complete it this month but it is still the goal/plan. They're producing it together with HF and several other sets so it's being done as a group unfortunately.

Hopefully we can get these in hand soon because I'm excited myself.

Will the Keyforge caps ship out when the set ships out? Or are they not synced up. Just curious since I paid my invoice 3 weeks ago

Should be shipped out with the set. Not together in the same package, but from Keyforge.

I'd shoot an email to Keyforge for any inquires with that though, I'm not the great man Kyle is

Up in the air, depends on how organized we can get it.

i see that pre-order on konos is still open. will pre-ordering it now be considered as joining the gb for raffle purposes?

The raffle has already passed.

It was a few weeks ago, the emails from the vendors have been sent out.

I feel like JTK bumped the production of Arctic and Hyperfuse back to squeeze in their triple shot set which should have run behind the other two (if looking at the closing date of the GB's). At least that's how it appears when looking at the ZF project updates page. This is wild speculation mind you.

I can only say what I’ve been told myself. It should have been shipped out recently..same thing to Arctic. It should not have been delayed as much as it should have, but I can’t do anything about JTK running the three sets all at once. If I had known that beforehand, things may have been different.

Best way to reach him is via Discord I think

I would say mid august seems fairly safe if they've already shipped. There's no extra kits for sorting. Kono should have a fairly quick turn around once they get their hands on them.

So not the first to get the package, besides the thread starter, but first time to post: second!

The photos so far imho look better than the renders, and renders never look bad, not? Can confirm the impression from the photos as well. So congrats to a terrific job! I am still working, so replacing one key every 5 minutes to go under the radar:). Just got GMK Minimal the week before, and didn't like those mods, and used the GMK WoB mods instead. But the contrast was a bit stark, so now I start with the Arctic mods, which so far have a lovely dark/gray or light/black impression.. First time for me with JTK, but feeling wise they can hold with GMK. Looking forward for how the whole set looks on the silver WKL aluminium board (ah, or do I need a black Polaris...:o)..

Cheers (sorry, no photos from me to be expected..).. but a happy camper so far..PS.

PS. Oh, not important - hopefully, but the keys are mega tight.. with the Kailh Box Whites I had slight worries for my OG Doubleshots, but here I feel a bit sorry for the Gateron Black stems

P.P.S. And another not important detail, the two plastic hard cases are miles ahead to the GMK plastic covers, not because of stability, but convenience to open them.. Just wanted to mention it, as said, first time JTK user..

Okay, finally got my set! Looks absolutely amazing irl, renders and samples looked nice but this set looks WAY better in person. Here are some crappy photos I took from my phone (I suck at photography too).
P.S so relieved that it turned out good, I was kinda anxious recently that it might not look as good. Super glad to be wrong.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190823/4d69c823867dd045a9012b3c0357a208.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190823/a2c3b100b90774aae045bd0bd9540c94.jpg)

Sorry, just the mods.. They look too dark on the photo, I would say much nicer in real shadow office environment. Dark, but clearly not black. And not as light as Honeywell mods. Something nice and new. Alphas are GMK Minmal here, which look warmer in real.. The Arctic white looks very nice, actually a tad cooler than Minimal. without being extreme like WS2 or cheap looking like ePBT BoW..

Cheers.

Yeah the white used doesn't show much yellowing like WS1 but is still not super white like WS2, it's a good medium.

Can you do me a favor and PM me the comparisons between WS1 and the Arctic White?


Also yeah, the stems seem really tight, but they look to have been worn in after I put them on the switches. I think the stems just may be softer than usual GMK as it looks like the stem is a part of the doubleshot process.

I live on the east coast USA and have ordered from Kono and ZFrontier in the past. Ordered from ZFrontier for this group buy, and got the shipment in 5 days. ZFrontier shipping is FAST, I have no idea how they do it. I ordered a WoB JTK set from them a good while ago and it arrived in less than a week.

Would it be possible to get the shipper to check the tracking on the shipment to Kono?  It was shipped to them in July.  It's September.  I'm curious if it's really still in transit, or if what we're now waiting on is Kono's fulfillment warehouse.  I was in another group buy with Kono where there was an unusually long time between when Kono received it and when they started shipping.  I'd like to know if that's still happening.

I now don't see the point in buying from anyone other than zFrontier if they are the originator of the product. US proxies are slower and unreliable as of late. After watching my co-worker go through the Kira debacle, and their muck up on this keyset, I don't think I'll be buying from Kono again.

Kono's weekly update had this to say today:

"JTK Arctic has arrived and is checking in! They will ship out shortly. Our distribution center is taking longer than expected to complete processing."

So it's taken over a week for them to...open the boxes they received?  Except for that bit about it taking longer than expected, it's the same status as last week.

And in this week's Kono update (speaking about JTK Arctic and Classic Cyrillic):

"Both keycap sets are at our warehouse, but they must be relabeled. This is due to poorly printed labels from the vendor or factory. They will ship out very soon."

So that three weeks in a row that they have them, but aren't shipping them out to customers.  At least they now appear to have actually opened the boxes they received.

Title: Re: JTK Arctic (Shipping)
Post by: Astrasa on Fri, 20 September 2019, 01:25:56
I finally got a response back from kono about their shipment, here's what they had to say:

Quote
9/13/19: JTK Arctic tracking was a mistake by the shipper and initially provided us with tracking that was not accurate. They had completed transit to America and have now been waiting for processing at our third party distribution center. We use a third party shipping service as our company is very small and we would not be possible to fulfill our volume on our own. Once this check-in is completed they will start shipping immediately.

These are both unfortunately things we have no control over and are frustrating for us as well. JTK Arctic should be shipping out any day, as all the pieces are in place.

I asked them to clarify about the mistaken tracking:

Quote
9/16/19: They shipped it with a local Chinese shipping service and their tracking just showed the shipment going to the port and then returning to sender.
When we asked them about this they effectively said "Woops sorry that was the wrong tracking they made a mistake."
I'm not sure what they meant exactly, that the shipper made a mistake and returned to correct it or they just provided the wrong tracking code to us.
Unfortunately business with China is normally not as straightforward as you'd hope.

They have already arrived and been in the possession of our warehouse for over a week now. It is likely the current shipping delays with our distribution center are caused by poor package labeling by the manufacturer, which is causing a slow check-in. We are also in contact with them, unfortunately the rate that this advances is in their court, rather than anything we have direct control over.

Hopefully their label machine is working overtime before it breaks..

Yes, they are in the new JTK trays.  This has been confirmed in pictures posted by people who bought through other vendors.  It would be a darn shame if Kono were to ship those spiffy new JTK trays full of JTK Arctic to us inside plastic bags with no packing material around the JTK trays.  That's how Kono shipped my GMK monochrome set to me.  They just stuck the GMK banderole in a plastic bag and slapped a shipping label on it.  That's what I'm hoping to avoid.

Yeah, it has been almost 1 month since I received tracking number and the package has not even been picked up. Not sure what the deal is and Keyforge did not reply my email.

Exactly the same issue for me. I received a tracking number which literally just indicates that a label was prepared but then there is no progress on the tracking indicating that the package never went anywhere or was never shipped. 4 emails and almost 1 month later I don't know what is going on.

Had some time to rebuild my Pc leaf60. I'm loving the JTK Arctic; frosty, but warm colors. Great job to mcnos for the color matching! (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191014/3c993ff7d4bf75a1675ba2200e17f2ae.jpg)

The legends are much improved over past JTK sets, but some of them are still a little messed up:


Edit: I can't figure out why the photo is upside down... but hopefully you can still see the issues.

No change for me since my post above. According to the tracking, the package still has not been shipped even though I got this email from keyforge. I've sent another couple of emails - no reply again.

Rob,
I'm printing a new label (same tracking), and repacking you a new order! I'll be dropping this off shortly, you should see the tracking update within a day or two. Thank you for your patience with this order, I've been slammed with other stuff. Please let me know when you receive the package :D

Just dropped him an email after 15 days of no response :/ Others on my local discord got theirs sorted out (those from fulfilment sale) so that's encouraging!

The legends are much improved over past JTK sets, but some of them are still a little messed up:

  • The "Pg Dn" legend is not vertically centered (it's too high)
  • The "s" in "Insert" is too large
  • The "a" in "Pause" is too large

Edit: I can't figure out why the photo is upside down... but hopefully you can still see the issues.
I will remake over 90+ JTK CA profile keys legends to fix almost those issues.

Looks ugly man, especially that cap on the top right.
 
Toss it my way and I'll donate it to a charity.

Ok, finallygot my keyforge. They really came through in the end and gave 2 additional keycaps for free because of all the shipping issues. :)

Will trade for a set of KAT Arctic. Or a back alley handy, whichever really.

I'll start working on it further once I'm finished with Fuyu.

It will be sometime next year though.
