Just wanted to say thanks for the groupbuy, Puddsy and Krelbit. As many hiccups you guys have run into for this set, I'm greatly appreciative and would mosdef join future projects from both of ya.

Haven't found any key to be less than perfect - wish we could convince them to run more!

This looks insane!

Here you can see the difference between the GMK red used in Honeywell




Nice thick caps.  They are pretty tight and challenging to get on zeal stabilizers but nothing broke.

I like the PBT color code 'RCA' for a soft off pink color, but a more conventional pink or yellow would have more appeal

i have a plan, and it's probably ABS

it's unlikely i'll run another gb though

Boo!! I thought you were fueled by spite?! It's a powerful thing afterall.

****ING NICE

A buy like this would have destroyed lesser men. Still you'd have to be a masochist to jump right back in. An SP buy would be a fair bit easier than ordering a product that requires new tooling, but if that's a year or two from now that'd also be understandable

Nice. Got my set in today and it looks great. Thanks for hooking it up Pudds.

Glad you like it. Pls post some pics when you get a minute.

just got mine in. love the vibrant red. one thing though—anyone else’s return key look a little off? the center stem on mine dips in so it doesn’t sit on my stabs correctly. looks like there’s some missing plastic too. i sent a message to krel but i’m sure he’s super busy with school right now. if it was a 1u i wouldn’t mind so much but theres only 1 of these caps in the whole set.

[nasp]

Would a washer on the switch help?

oh good idea, i’ll try that. puddsy—not sure if any extras were shipped out in case some keys slipped pass qc. vendors would probably know better but if you hear of anything please let me know. i posted a version of this this on reddit but here’s red riot on a keyboardbelle 3d print. inspired by that red otd that was posted last week

Loving all the pics guys.

Not sure what's up with that return key. I'll take a peek once I have my sets. I think they're in my mailbox at school.

[AlexAtPanc]

Def a hot set.

I need more blank sets. Pink set and baby blue when

This is just the way JTK does their stabilized keys, at least the enter key.  I checked and they are the same on my Raindrop and Yolch set.

I think the problem you are having might be related to the tight fit I was talking about.

The very first time I put the stabilized keys on they all stuck and I thought it was a bust, but once you get them pushed down on both sides a few times it works. I think it must open up the stem cutouts (it's like they are too tight at first fitting).  Just my experience, but after pressing them all the way down on both sides and hearing a snap noise, they started working right.  I checked the stems and they aren't cracked.

Very nice

We gotta bother GMK

[placebo guy]

Anyone get an extra R2 keycap from "QWER" row?

I have an extra R3 keycap from "ASDF" row so I'm short a keycap from R2. Not a huge issue since I can use one from the numpad but just seeing if anyone has seen my baby.

[RETURNISO]

I hope i can pick up a extra set soon....?

[Puddsy]

What I would give for a 6u center stem spacebar in this red round about now...

Can always count on you for sweet keyboard shots

Very nice

[NitPik]

WE DID IT! Although I can’t seem to get the space bar to stay on the stabs when pushed down at the very edge of it. If I push down at the very edge, it’ll pop off the stab on the opposite side

This happens

This happens

Put a small square of plastic wrap on the stem before you put the cap on, it will tighten it up and help it grip.

very red very nice

Still no sign of extras on en zfrontier, any words on this puddsy?

I think he/she/it means YOLCH.

Does caps-unlocked ship to the US for a reasonable price? Switchmod still doesn't have extras, and I'm getting close to rioting for Red Riot

CU only has like 5 sets

Rounding off, about $30 for shipping

I spoke with him earlier with the same question / was told zf would be the place to look for extras at some point.

yeah i forgot he had them for sale on preorder so he sold out of those already, just heard back from him

i'll let y'all know when i hear from zf

[NitPik]

i have a weird question but are the keys marked in any way? i got my tray and everything was all jumbled so i tried my best to see what looked good where, but i think i messed up the bottom row. any idea how i can try and sort them out a bit?

I don’t think there are marks.  Each row has a unique >1u key, right? Maybe use that as a guide and view the caps from the side to check profile

Put a small square of plastic wrap on the stem before you put the cap on, it will tighten it up and help it grip.

I think this was the issue with my weird return key. I put the left and right stem of the cap on a switch and its incredibly loose which was why it was lifting off the stabs. I’ll trying this plastic wrap mod to see if I can get it to grip better.

Puddsy—if you have any news on replacement caps, please let us know.

no replacements will be made

i don't want to deal with JTK anymore and i don't think they want to deal with this group buy anymore\

i don't have my sets yet anyway, so i can't check and see if other keys are like that

just do the tape/plastic trick and that should solve it anyway

Mine finally came in today, chucked it on my GH60 for now with Vintage Blacks in a Red Case with a TH esc key. Looks and feels pretty nice. Just had to put tape on the stabs on the Enter key.

Should have been a placeholder, but I guess it stays a while. Such a nice red.
