Seems like it's fixed now :)
Yep! Ordered.  Now I just need to completely forget about this set for a year or so. Very hyped! This is going to be my first proper keycap set. Might order another set too as a backup in case I build another board but I'll take the rest of the month to decide about that.

I'm kinda surprised the highlight mods are so behind the terminal mods. I expected it to be the other way around.

It's somewhat reflecting what I saw in the IC form, but standard is closer to terminal than on IC and highlight is falling a little further behind than IC. Terminal was always meant to be the signature look though and was the original design intention ;)

The terminals mods do look great. I haven't interacted with a command line interface since I was in elementary school over two decades ago but I was still tempted. Something about the highlight mods just hits me right in the DOS nostalgia though.

This might actually be my first set in KAM, so many different kits! Thought i was decided on the mods standard, but mods highlight look so good in the renders, now I can't decide :-\ might have to give up on the deskmat since it's not available on zf :-[

This is literally why I had to have the terminal mods!

Hmm there seems to be an issue with their website, the mats are available and have been selling but the drop down is being blocked by the panel at the bottom. zFrontier is going off for CNY now but I will ping them about it when they're back!

The workaround is to make a selection, then use your down arrow to select what you actually want, RAMA and deskmats are near the bottom :)

Many in Asia encountered difficulties while purchasing KAM Superuser; it seems like the keycaps GB are ONLY accessible through the “Zfrontier International”, excluding the normal Zfrontier.com, which created problems both in paying and choosing kits. Neither the GB show up on Zfronter.com’s front page, nor any form of GB announcement can be found on the website. I heard from the others that the GB did open for a brief period of time on the first day but was soon shut down. Was the GB intentionally set up like this, or was it just a mistake? Pls reply asap, lots are eager to join the GB. :thumb:

on the fence about ordering the nk65...  Just got into the keyboard game and only have one board, but have another one on reserve that hasn't even been released yet...   In the meantime I've gotten 3 set of keycaps, got in GB for 3 more sets, got two sets of switches, and a couple sets of stabs that I can't even use because my current board doesn't even have screw in stab support (and neither does the NK65 for that matter... But!  The one on reserve does, even though it'll come with its own pre-clipped/lubed screw in stabs...).

I feel like I've jumped into the hole too quick and forgot to attach the bungee cord.  I'm a little scared of myself at this point.  :eek:

Sounds to me like you need more keyboards for all those keycaps ;)

Ah apologies that is an older render that I must have forgotten to update. The kit images and main renders are all correct, the spacebars are either 4280C or 353C :)

Why is there for mods_standard and mods_highlight used label "shift" and for mods_terminal: "raise"?

There is also different between:
mods_standard and mods_highlight: green "execute", grey: "enter"
mods_terminal: green "execute", grey: "execute"

mods_terminal: green "execute", grey: "execute"

It's a stylistic choice :) the green on the standard and highlight is meant to have a little bit of flair taken from the terminal set. "enter" isn't used in terminal as it doesn't make sense in that context - hence two "executes".

Huge shout out to dvorcol for helping me with the sales tracker and creating these awesome graphs for everyone! What did we do to deserve you in this community <3

To my knowledge superuser has achieved a few key milestones with these numbers:

Breaking the magic 1 MILLION unit mark at 1.07m!

Becoming the all time best selling KAM set.

Becoming the 2nd best selling Keyreative group buy set, after KAT Mizu at 1.36m.


I know I've said it all before on discord but I can't thank you all enough for your support on this journey and a big shout out to all the superuser vendors who supported the project <3 The enthusiasm and excitement around superuser has always blown me away and continues to inspire me for future projects. I know there's a long wait before superuser arrives at our doorsteps, but I hope that when it does that it knocks your socks off ;)

I will be updating this thread and my discord server (linked at the top of the 1st page - do come join us) with relevant news as it comes :)
