First off: KAM Command will be available from October 4 until November 4! Scroll up to see a list of vendors.

Got a ton of feedback over the past couple of weeks, and here's a list of tweaks that came out of that:

  • Added arrow keys and a 6.25u spacebar to the 40's kit
  • Added Colevrak support to the alphas kit
  • Added a tab and return key to the modifiers kit (so you can support 2 boards with one set of modifiers and 2 sets of alphas)
  • Added a second spacebar to the spacebars kit

We're about to lock kitting down to get pricing, so if there's any feedback you still have, better add it to the IC form ASAP 🙂

276037-0276039-1276041-2276043-3

Also added the 2 deskmats, and I'm in the middle of working on a handful of really dope collaborations!

This is a big deal - thanks for listening. Really excited for you to hit groupbuy :D

Is the finish shiny/glossy or matt?

Matte! Personally not a fan of glossy (although it wouldn’t look bad for this set).

Will update the post later, but here's a first look at 2 collaborations:

  • Acrylic TKL board by Protozoa (based on their successful GLITCH/FROST series)
  • Aluminum knob with rubber bands (both red and black bands included) and a unique mounting method. Also produced by Protozoa.

Both will be available through the vendors. I'm stupid excited about these.

More goodness: Pricing and artisans!

Super happy with how the kitting-based pricing turned out. $86 covers your usual 60%-TKL range of boards, anything more is super affordable.

And once again I'm proud to have been working with Protozoa on these 2 beautiful aluminum artisans (with black resin infill in the vents). 1u (escape key) and 2.25u (return key), shaped in a unique way that still fits the KAM profile.

This might be the first non-RAMA artisan I will by…

Having already ordered the GLitch I am excited to see this version make it to market.  The overall theme could look awesome.

Glad to see this start GB today. I love all of it.

Just wanted to ask, even though the renders still include homing bars, this set will be using scooped homing keys instead, right?

If there are renders with homing bars that's my bad (mind PM'ing me links?). This set will only include scooped and regular homing keys.

Ah, sorry, my bad! It’s just the deskmat + keyboard renders that still have homing bars. The vendor I checked had a separate listing for deskmats and stuff, so seeing those first made me think it wasn’t updated. Super minor.

GLWGB!
