This is probably a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway... Maxkey makes SA profile keycaps and the look pretty good in photos but I don't see people turning to them as an alternative to Signature Plastics. What gives?

My guess would be that Maxkeys doesn't have the same customization options. Like they don't produce any ISO sets as they apparently don't have the molds (or so I've read). I've longingly looked into their SA sets, but since I use a Swedish/Finnish layout, it's never been a real option.

I would think they are a fine option if you want more affordable SA sets with a standard ANSI layout. But if you want anything more custom (novelties, ISO, 40%, etc), maybe they're not up to the task.

I do wish they did up their game, as more competition could really help with the crazy prices and waiting times.


Just ponied up for Maxkey SA Lime so I guess I'll get to judge Maxkey for myself. $99 is pretty darn good, even if you don't get a ton of options. I agree that a little competition is always a good thing. I would guess that it costs a TON of money to increase capacity considering all the tooling and equipment costs involved. Signature Plastics is probably doing the best they can so the more manufacturers the merrier.

I have a set of max key's and they where cheap. I mean sure they have a few short comings but for 99 bucks.. they where a good deal. I just am not a fan of SA profile for extended periods of typing. Though working on getting use to them slowly but surely. I know max key's has had a few issues in the past with legend's and what not but that could be any start up.. and once again at 99 dollars.. there pretty darn cheap compared to most keycap sets that come with extra options. I mean a decent set of Tai-hao caps will put ya back 30-50 dollars depending where you buy. Then your only getting standard set not any extra's. I think max key's is reasonable.. the only thing I do not like is there super lose.. like as in lose enough to pull off with my fingers which tells me the tolerances where maybe a bit to high.

Seems kind of odd to run this now, since the Rush scheme is fairly similar to Laser...

Yeah, I saw.

This displeases me greatly. Especially because he basically puts Laser into this DSA drop and I hate DSA.

At the risk of being hated by the community I am... and I am really excited in general... cause right now there so many keycap buy's going on. That I am worried Laser wouldn't get the attention it deserves. I am totally ok with it being November release. I hope others feel the same way. I mean sure the sooner it releases the better but then we gotta hurry up and wait anyway right? Cause I mean its not like they ship it next week. I am sure GMK has a backlog of keys to produce with all the GMK sets live right now. To top it off didn't Mito say he had something special and unique planned for this set? Perhaps he still in the process of getting all that worked out. I say we just gotta be patient even thought it does suck.

Every month I take a bit of my salary aside especially for this drop. This drop has its own special wallet at my place. If this set drops in November, then I'm afraid, very, very afraid, that it will be madness with spending hard earned money on some plastic things… But I'm Laserfocused on getting as much specials to fill my Laser–needs and accompany my custom–designed Laser keyboard. And I hope for November – because December is yearly bonus month, and my SO may freak out ifwhen I spend it all on plastic…  :D

That's what my guess is. I wouldn't be surprised if this (and maybe even Godspeed XDA) were created to fill the slot originally booked for Laser. Either way I'm willing to wait for Mito to get the special stuff sorted.

I'm bummed Laser keeps getting delayed as well.

I speculate the reason for delay is bottlenecked negotiation between MD and MiTo.
MiTo seems to have plans for broader Laser lineup, so MD likely is claiming broader rights beyond keycaps.

Halo switch dispute reveals a lot on how MD conducts business.  While I wouldn't call MD evil, they seem ever inching toward unscrupulousness.
Hard to know what's going on, but in lieu of info I support creator in this sort of situation where community and business don't mix well.

I'm fine with waiting a little more for Laser.  And I don't have problem closing my wallet to slot fillers that I don't want.

Your entire post is unfounded speculation, which is kind of toxic to be quite honest- do you have anything to actually back up your claims? Or are you just spreading rumors with no basis?

The drop was always speculated to be in November, and MiTo saying the project is broader than keycaps shouldn't give you any reason to start theorizing that it means Massdrop is trying to screw him over.

The Halo Switch debate issue literally has nothing to do with MiTo or this drop, and honestly your claim "reveals a lot how MD conducts business." is a rather petty and ignorant statement that again I don't even know why you're bringing it into this discussion.

Embarrassing.

look your post are boarder line conspiracy theory 101. I mean seriously the reason Mito is taking his time with this drop. Is simply because its taking time to get everything setup and put together. He even said and eluded to this. I mean there no reason to bash Massdrop other then to just bash massdrop.. if you really want to get down to brass tacks there only been one group that seems to have had issues with Massdrop. Other creators have been just fine.

You are WAY off base here. This is straight fake news level. The only confirmed timeline was Q4. Just in case you weren't aware how quarters work, we are only 2 weeks into the quarter. So all of about 15%.

First let's discuss what the concept of a delay is. A delay is something happening after it is supposed to, not after you want it to. We get it, its a nice set and everyone wants it now, that doesn't mean it is READY now.

Mito has said he is planning other things to go along with the release, I would assume at least things like artisans and matching mousepads and such, but I wouldn't be surprised to see things like cases matched to the colors and whatnot. All of that takes time.

The fundamental flaw in your thinking is you are inventing a delay when NO ONE has EVER said anything ways delayed EXCEPT people who were complaining about waiting. This drop is running on time, it's just not as soon as some people would like it to be. That has never not been the case, and inventing some drama based on a delay that never happened is straight Trump logic.

Guys, you should re-read what I said.  I really don't understand why you are all worked up.
Sure, I mildly criticized MD.  I don't think I outright "bash"d them.  I actually believe it's natural they protect their business interests.

I'll be happy if Laser happens in Nov whether MiTo wraps up his other plannings as you claim, or MD and MiTo come to terms in the negotiation that I speculated.

Peace!

Unless you are insider, you don't know what's going on.  Just leave things be.  Don't try to shut up people.

Time will tell.

You are WAY off base here. This is straight fake news level. The only confirmed timeline was Q4. Just in case you weren't aware how quarters work, we are only 2 weeks into the quarter. So all of about 15%.

First let's discuss what the concept of a delay is. A delay is something happening after it is supposed to, not after you want it to. We get it, its a nice set and everyone wants it now, that doesn't mean it is READY now.

Mito has said he is planning other things to go along with the release, I would assume at least things like artisans and matching mousepads and such, but I wouldn't be surprised to see things like cases matched to the colors and whatnot. All of that takes time.

The fundamental flaw in your thinking is you are inventing a delay when NO ONE has EVER said anything ways delayed EXCEPT people who were complaining about waiting. This drop is running on time, it's just not as soon as some people would like it to be. That has never not been the case, and inventing some drama based on a delay that never happened is straight Trump logic.

Guys, you should re-read what I said.  I really don't understand why you are all worked up.
Sure, I mildly criticized MD.  I don't think I outright "bash"d them.  I actually believe it's natural they protect their business interests.

I'll be happy if Laser happens in Nov whether MiTo wraps up his other plannings as you claim, or MD and MiTo come to terms in the negotiation that I speculated.

Peace!

I have finally realized where the flaw in your logic is. Because of your spite for massdrop you have failed to realize that MiTo is EXTREMELY active on massdrop.

I'm bummed Laser keeps getting delayed as well.

I speculate the reason for delay is bottlenecked negotiation between MD and MiTo.
MiTo seems to have plans for broader Laser lineup, so MD likely is claiming broader rights beyond keycaps.

Halo switch dispute reveals a lot on how MD conducts business.  While I wouldn't call MD evil, they seem ever inching toward unscrupulousness.
Hard to know what's going on, but in lieu of info I support creator in this sort of situation where community and business don't mix well.

I'm fine with waiting a little more for Laser.  And I don't have problem closing my wallet to slot fillers that I don't want.

Your entire post is unfounded speculation, which is kind of toxic to be quite honest- do you have anything to actually back up your claims? Or are you just spreading rumors with no basis?

The drop was always speculated to be in November, and MiTo saying the project is broader than keycaps shouldn't give you any reason to start theorizing that it means Massdrop is trying to screw him over.

The Halo Switch debate issue literally has nothing to do with MiTo or this drop, and honestly your claim "reveals a lot how MD conducts business." is a rather petty and ignorant statement that again I don't even know why you're bringing it into this discussion.

Embarrassing.

Again, you literally have no basis or information other than a completely hypothetical theory for this based on completely unrelated circumstances.

The cliche "grasping for straws" has never been more apt.

I would advise you just keep your outlandish theories to yourself unless you have any concrete evidence for this. It's just simply not your place to make up stories.

MiTo has worked with Massdrop for quite some time now and the fact that he's hosting another DIFFERENT drop right now through them would lead me to believe his relationship with Massdrop has probably never been better.

We all wanted Laser to drop, none of us saw the current drop coming- but it is what it is.

I would say a "better" theory is the one that is backed by everyone up to this point- that the drop will be more than just keycaps and will involve other merchandise which requires Massdrop/MiTo coordinating with more than just GMK as a vendor.

We get it, you probably don't like Massdrop, but that doesn't give you free reign to make up fake propaganda to support your narrative.

Here are my quick thoughts:

I'm glad Colevrak will be offered!

I actually prefer blanks on the ErgoPlanck.

The Gaijin vs Monogana is quite even, so I really hope both will be put in. I prefer the clean look of the Monos, and I think it would look really good with ErgoBlancks on the Preonic I've ordered.

I'm a fan of legended planck mods. It looks really weird to have all legends on some caps, and blank on the other. :/

This set looks awesome, MiTo.

Any chance the Ergodox kit will get legends?



I am studying the possibility of offering ErgoBlanck and ErgoPlanck kits.

Laser's looking good!

Have you considered adding essential Planck keys in the Base Kit and removing it from the ErgoPlank Kit instead? Because to cover the default layout with correct legends, you just need a few more keys.

R2 Tab, R3 Esc and R4 Enter are the 3 essential 1u keys for default Planck coverage. The additional R2 Tab will also help with some 40% layouts.

Less essential is R4 Shift (there's already an R4 Fn and R4 Hack key which can be used in its place), and R3 ' " in mod colours. 

You would also need to add 2 x 1u R4C keys and 1 x 2u R4C key in the Spacebar Kit.

Doing this would result in a considerably cheaper option for Planck/Preonic users as all they need to get is Base + Spacebars.

This does mean the Base Kit and Spacebar Kit may go up slightly in price, but the resulting Ergodox kit will be reduced by a fair bit too. Of course you can leave your planned ErgoBlank kit in for people who desire blank mods.

Just some of my thoughts after Nautilus' less than desirable options for Planck/Preonic users.

Just want to reaffirm my desire for this.

IMO the purples on most keyboards would clash with the colors of Laser (more blue than purple). But for some people, they are both sorta purpley and that's good enough  :rolleyes:

I will use a black keyboard  for laser. The colors will already be so loud and hard to find matching purple.

I'm thinking brushed stainless would tie in with the "88" novelty quite nicely.
