My happiness was so short after hearing there is no wkl this time  :-[

Will there be a second release of No2 ss later this year?

Stainless steel was a limited edition release, we have no plans to release it again. Another variant of the No. 2 though...

Damnn, I want that beast. But variant of No.2 will do. Interesting to see other colors apart from contemporary red  :)

This round will not feature blockers. We've explicitly minimized configuration to simplify production and QC. However, we're picking up the pace of releases so you may see a WKL variant sooner than you'd think.

Hey,  do you have any plans to do a regular 60% anytime in the future?

We'll definitely do more smaller form-factor boards. No timeline for it as of yet.

What colors would be available aside from the Navy Blue that was shown on Instagram?

If the past is anything to go by, it'll probably be a WKL blocker. I don't think I've ever seen a TKL with HHKB blockers before.

Well i guess if you're torn, go for the Keycult board.  Chances are very slim that you'll get one.  Then if/when you don't get it, you can get the U80 :)

The PCBs are not compatible — the U80 has .5 unit spacing between the alphas and the F-row/nav cluster, whereas the No. 1 uses .25 unit spacing.

Hopefully wilba will make a WT80-A in the future with Kaihl hot swaps. Really love the ease of mixing switches and springs  until I get the feeling juuuust right.

Thanks to everyone who entered during the 10am raffle window (about 30 minutes ago). If you successfully entered, you should not enter again during the second window at 10pm tonight -- it will disqualify you from the raffle.

Confirmation emails are slow to go out. If you don't receive a confirmation email in the next couple hours, please email support@keycult.io and we can check on things for you. <3

Couple quick notes:

We currently have an open preorder for the Rama x Keycult Brass & Black Enamel Keycap. Preorder closes on Monday, so if you're interested, please get your order in by then!

This evening at 5pm Eastern, we're going to be live-streaming our first bi-weekly preorder update on our Twitch channel. We'll give an update on where we're at with our current projects, followed by a brief Q&A.

=)

Riot I'm curious as to your input on this article - seems to be the reason you went with a vickery, and I'm curious if this will be affecting your keyboards going forward - more expensive/exclusive/etc.

If 10 people all thought the same idea, this could be a problem for them

I've been friends with Kevin for quite a while and it was indeed a conversation with him that led us towards the Vickrey auction. However, Kevin's comments in the article represent an outsider's perspective on the market using us as an example -- they aren't some kind of roadmap that we intend to follow. Our goal isn't to increase expense and exclusivity, but quite the opposite. If you look at our release quantities just this year (the only year Keycult has been seriously operating as a business), you'll see that, despite what some folks like to claim, we're quickly scaling up quickly:

January - No. 1/60 & No. 1/65 - 40 kits total (20 of each)
April - No. 2 - 20 kits total
June - No. 1 Rev. 1 TKL - 80 kits total (10 sold through Vickrey)
July - No. 2 Rev. 1 TKL Preorder - 75 preorder spots, 75 additional kits made, 150 kits total (10 planned to be sold through a Vickrey auction after preorders are delivered)

Our next release is planned to be at least as large or larger than the last. We're scaling as quickly as we feel is responsible given our means. While that might piss some people off, it's allowed us to grow while maintaining quality and working out kinks one bit at a time, instead of taking on some massive preorder that we might not know how to handle.

While we're growing, however, it's clear that supply is not equaling demand. I expect that in the future Vickrey auctions will no longer make sense for us as we get closer to having enough kits to meet demand for a particular release. At that point, we'll stop running them. In the meantime, we're not going to turn away money from people who would rather support our growth directly instead of having to buy the same item on the aftermarket. We'll continue pricing our kits in a way that we think is financially sustainable for Keycult as a business, and any additional money made from Vickrey auctions will allow us to scale and grow faster than we may have planned.
