[IC] ⭐️ KAT Space Dust ⭐️ [GB starts soon - 24th May to 25th June]

[lemmebuildthings]

Wait this is actually super sick

[paperassgasket]

Really love seeing the feedback from this IC being taken to heart. It's a good sign that this is an actual IC and not just hype/free advertising.
Also, the new deskmats are excellent.

[MIXO Cables]

matches my laser theme cable very well!

[Delicious Deity]

I think I'd like a non spacey themed navigation set in blue.

[TheMegalodong]

Missed the chance to say it in the IC form, but I think it would be awesome to have the option to buy alphas that are just blue legends on black caps, with no gradient.

I like to keep my alphas simple and legible, but go wild on novelty keys and modifiers!

I believe there is such, with the 'Ground Control' kit.

Here ya go, already exist.

[Cloods]

This is hands down one of the cutest novelties in a set I've seen. 10/10

[Synergist]

Omg I love it so much!

I'd love some abstract deskmats to go with it as well!

[pandaman97]

There any chance you make an Alpha set with purple legend on blue caps. That make this set a little bit like MiTo's Laser, but it will be fk nice 

[nuclearzcy]

I truely want to get this in this year, when GB ?

[dmatx1]

If you flip the numpad gradients from purple→cyan to cyan→purple, then you get a nice purple→cyan→purple gradient for 100% and 1800 boards and cyan→purple→cyan gradient for southpaw boards.

[Rebral]

These look amazing! Count me in!!

[Drakenocas]

Definitely liking this. I don't know normally go for a dark base on caps, but I like this, and I am thinking I am going to fall in love with KAT.                                                   

[Havattack]

Love the colorway, especially the gradient aspect, and will be getting it, but the desk mat and the novelty keys that share those... graphics.. with the desk mat, are pretty lame. I'm not huge fan of the "cute" stuff, but they ca be done okay. That desk mat looks like a mess. It, and the some of the novelty keycaps, look like a 12 year old girl put a bunch of those cheep binder stickers that existed back when i was in middle school, all over the place.

[Zaprey]

I really like the colours of this!
However I think that there should be an ortho kit etc, like other KAT sets.
Thanks

[baysic]

My deskmat is ready for this.

[paperassgasket]

Lol WHAAAAT? If you had told me that was a Space Dust deskmat I would have believed you.

[baysic]

Lol WHAAAAT? If you had told me that was a Space Dust deskmat I would have believed you.

I know rite lol.
When I saw it its was like instant buy for this set.

[forsee]

Can't wait for this to get into GB

[WejB]

Gosh I love the kit, but I really need an ISO enter in the Mod kit for 65% and up, I need it to justify the black hole in my wallet

[KanyeMidEast]

Hate to tell you but even if the gb started today you wouldn’t receive them till February/March lmao.

Stumbled upon a desktop wallpaper  by, what looks to be, the same artist. It should match your desk mat nicely.
It would also be pretty easy to have one of the like, hundred companies, that do custom desk mats, to print one up for anyone that is so inclined.

[GSPADE]

Looking great, hope the IC is going good! 

[Rew23]

Is there going to be a blanks kit like shown in some of the renders?
 

[Bobatype]

Apologies for the lack of updates, as thus far we've only updated this IC post with some new (but old) renders.
We're still cleaning up our kitting for the obscure kits, waiting for prototypes of Keyreative to ensure novelty designs can be executed too.
We have 2 new deskmats too; completed the planet designs for numpad/f-row; and have added and removed a few novelties. Sorry no images thus far, but hopefully soon (tm)

Is there going to be a blanks kit like shown in some of the renders?
 

Yes there will be blanks column gradient keycaps seen in some of the 65% renders
 

Can't wait for this to get into GB

Thanks, we can't wait too.

Gosh I love the kit, but I really need an ISO enter in the Mod kit for 65% and up, I need it to justify the black hole in my wallet

We're going to do iso, but we'll have to calculate if demand is worth integrating it into that kit, increasing overall price. Terminal Iso though is much easier to integrate than Regional UK Iso.

Looking great, hope the IC is going good! 

TY!

My deskmat is ready for this.

Looks good! I like the fun space vibe.

Definitely liking this. I don't know normally go for a dark base on caps, but I like this, and I am thinking I am going to fall in love with KAT.                                                   

Thanks for the compliment!

There will be an ortho kit confirmed. Sorry we just haven't updated our kit images yet.

Appreciate the feedback. We deliberately went for a cuter childlike fun of space vibe. Might not be your thing, but it will be for some others. Some of the less well-executed novelties are going to be culled though.

If you flip the numpad gradients from purple→cyan to cyan→purple, then you get a nice purple→cyan→purple gradient for 100% and 1800 boards and cyan→purple→cyan gradient for southpaw boards.

Consideration noted!

These look amazing! Count me in!!

Glad to have you join us!

We've confirmed 3 regional vendors and hopefully this week I finalise the rest. We're mainly waiting on prototypes from the manu re: reverse multi-dyesub novelties to ensure our technical demands are met, hence partially why there's been some radio silence, as we don't want to move to GB and find out a lot of our novelties aren't going to work out.

[FOTANA]

awesome I will sign up in a heartbeat

[santela]

Love the set, but some keys seem to be missing, such as a 1.75u right shift and a black esc key.

[NathanielGoodtimes]

OMG so interested!

[Ordem352]

I'm so in on this!

[upstairscoffee5]

petition to rename the Alien Alphas enchanting table

[Bobatype]

Sorry for sporadic updates. Will try to be more active.

※ “Galileo” //9 Planets Numpad - WIP


※ Polaris //NORDE


※ Sirius //South


F-row of 9 planets + Sun, moon and asteroids incoming.
Re-renders of new novelties kit (i.e. the dolphin, vacuum cleaning man, zeta chasing shooting star enter key; with other keys culled), and updated Mods kitting (we were missing a few keys, i.e. 1.75u  and 1.5u right shift keys) should be coming a long soon.

Current Vendors List:
※ Boardsource.xyz (US)
※ DeskHero (Canada)
※ Daily Clack (Oceania)
※ Funkeys (Ukraine, Russia, Belarus)
※ Fancycustoms (South America)

EU/UK, ASIA and SEA - TBD; potentially Zfrontier and Hexkeyboards for the latter two regions.
DM me if there is a vendor/region we haven't considered.

Collabs thus far:
Artisans: Keylabs, Keycravings and Melonkeys have expressed interest. We have held off contacting other artisan makers until GB date is set. DM to let me know who else to consider.
Cables: Spacecables. DM to let me know who else to consider, especially in non NA regions.
Considering sticker and cute merchandise too.

We also have two new desk mat designs that are a bit more minimal in taste.
---
Considering if we should be offering a dedicated macro column kit planet-style for XT-layout type boards, or make an additional planetary f-row R4, so it can be used by 60/65%, and it won't be as awkward for it to also be utilised as a macro column sculpt-wise.
---
Any interest in a simple media kit? Play pause, vol up/down, mute etc.
---
Currently have been waiting for prototypes of initial novelty drafts from the Manu to show proof of reverse multi-dyesub quality for legends

[Grog]

Easy cop. The set just keeps getting better with every update. Absolutely stunning set.

[CountKeepo]

The norde-kit made this a must-have for me.

[0ldMate]

This set looks awesome! Love the planets!

[paysen]

looks sick, will buy instantly

[paperassgasket]

That numpad is excellent.
Gonna look good on my Treasure Type 9

[nathanchere]

Media kit, yes, would buy. But also not essential. There are so many kits here already I worry about fulfilmemt challenges when none of the far more simple KAT kits I've ordered have shown any signs of progress well past their estimated delivery dates

i want (aka need) every novelty in this kit omfg

[Sanity_]

Very interested!

[supermunny]

Great set! Love the colored blanks & gradient space bar, would never ever use the caps with the childish cartoon illustrations - please don't bundle these in the same kit.

[Abhorrent Cell]

Galileo looking great. Would love some Wyvern or Southpaw Extended 65 renders.

[PizzaForce]

I kinda love it I kinda hate it. I will also fill out the IC but as always with KAT I think the kitting is way overdone. I would say get rid of the mono kits. Get rid of the alien language mods. The real star here to me are the non standard mods and the bright colors. The colors are really great together but I just cant help but feel this should have been a deskmat GB first. They are sick and I dont have worries about them like I do the novelty kit. Excited to see how this progresses. For now its Digioro.

[Havattack]

Should do a second round one day.. in SA.. with a more mature theme... Laser guns and war ships or something, instead of....cute kitties in space suits..
Call it: SA Space ASHES.

[tragikarp]

omg i love this. more cats!!

[nick779]

Can we get a render of the mono alpha kit with the mods? I'm curious how they would look together since a mono mod kit doesn't appear to be available.

[Abhorrent Cell]

Liking the colorful blank cluster on the 65% render but don't see it in the kits. Would love to have that in the kits, with legends preferred but blank is cool too.

[clackeys]

Super excited about space cats!

[iinko_mk]

nice set
