[IC] Infinikey: PBT Islander - GB May 15 to 29 Deskmats added

[Abec13]

Changes
The leaf, bag, and fossil have been modified to be less IP heavy.
225 Fishing rod novelty has been sized to fit a 1.5 novelty now.
A variation of fishing novelties has been added to 1.5 and is mirrored across the sides.
1.25 Fishing novelty has also been mirrored.
Added blue 1.25 Shift to Extension Kit for 40s users who will use this on the right side.
Added green 1.75 Shift for 40s users to use on the left side.
Added blue 1.00 Shift to Extension kit for Minivan users that will use this on the right side.
Changed blue 2u Shift to green as this is actually used on the left side.
Added brown accented leaf to novelties for 40s users to use as an escape novelty.
Added blue tilde-grave.
Added blue and green (whatever the name of that) ISO key.
Moved accent arrows and numpad enter to add on kit.
Removed 1.5u "Function" keys from Add On kit, as there is already a 1.5u Alt and Fn in Base Kit.
Centered icons.

Added Canadian Proxy.

Inspiration
Just like many have, I missed out on the New Horizons edition Switch -- this is me over compensating.
If you couldn't get the switch, can't get the switch, already had one... here's your chance to get it on your keyboard.
With the power of PBT this set is going to have the massive novelty kit it deserves.

Mentions
Special thanks to meatsmoothies for the help with all of these novelties in such a small time window.
If you need novelty work done, highly recommend.

Got a question, what's the reason behind a big expansion kit like that?

[BubbleheadBrett]

Interested! My girlfriend will love this!

[DrHigsby]

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes! Would buy all three kits right now if able.

Onto feedback/Questions:
-Could you add/change some of the R3/4 novelties in 1.25u to be 1.5u? I'd love to have a slingshot and a net in 1.5u.
-I'd be interested in a second set of just alphas if they were offered.
-What are the RAL or Pantone colors codes you are using? And, more specifically, what colors are you color-matching for the blue, green, and brown?

[DrHigsby]

Big extension kits for Infinikey are pretty typical. It has a lot to do with their MOQ system. See PBT Græn or Infinkey Pastel PBT for comparison. They have large extension kits as well.

Got a question, what's the reason behind a big expansion kit like that?

From my understanding of what I've been told, there's a bottom line a per-kit pricing that comes from this manufacturer where price-per-key largely benefits from larger kits. And since these kits are much cheaper to manufacture and therefore sell, there's room in the budget to sell it as such. This also makes sure that there are plenty of these obscure child kits in the wild, easier to acquire after the fact.

GMK Cafe's 40's kit was $53. This add on kit might be less than that while containing all of these other bits.

[hkiri]

Tom Nook why are you doing this to my bank account...

[alper_maestro]

Looks very nice.

[Brawlbeard]

Very nice set!

Would at least buy two of each Kit, if you consider to add a NorDE Kit or support for German ISO.

[StanleyLelnats]

Was hoping to see an AC themed keyset and this one checks all the boxes! Looking forward to GB

Love the novelties! I'm in.

Just when I thought I was done buying sets...my poor wallet.

Is it possible to get a quick overview of what layouts the base kit will cover?

[LeandreN]

yes.

[kawaiislowpoke]

pls gib

[o3okevin]

Also Canada proxy please

[rewke]

I need this ASAP! So glad it's a PBT set.

[Pizza_on_Pineapple]

Yes! I've been waiting for someone to do it proper way. The colorway is so great. Definitely interested!

[mchanneh]

This looks great, keeping subbed for updates and GB!

[jakereps]

People bombarded the GMK Mudkip IC with this question, but I don't see any mention here. Is TKC/Infinikey going to produce a kit tied so closely to Nintendo? The novelties are essentially cloned from the game which seems like an immediate takedown/cease and desist request once it gets on a product page. Love the idea and want to see it happen, but curious if it will run in current form.

Love the idea and want to see it happen, but curious if it will run in current form.

I'm going to guess that the reason Mudkip got bombarded so hard was because it's using a strait character and name. While I know some of these may mimic a bit close, I'm open to modifications. I at the very least made very sure not use character art which are the heavy hitters of IP (imo).

This is day 1 IC level at the moment so I'm not going to make any declarations, or claim to be a legal mind. But believe-you-me this will get made while still holding the resemblance people love it for.

Thanks for your concern and less abrasive approach.

[depletedvespene]

Interesting choice of colors (I'd now need to have not a beige case, but a sand colored one).

Regarding the layout, I see its following Infinikey's actually pretty good template for the base and expansion kits. That said, there are a couple suggestions I'd make to improve this IC (and the template).

1) The base kit has two `~ keys, as is standard: alpha-colored and a mod-colored. That said, in this key there's "left-mod" (green" and "right-mod" (blue colors), and this key is only available as left-mod. Perhaps there could be an additional right-mod version of it, for the compat 60% keyboards that move it to the right side of the keyboard.

2) Swap the R3 #~ (UK-only) in the base kit with the R3 \| (US only) key in the expansion kit. This is a problem shared with all the recent Infinikey sets, which (IMNAAHO) should be solved before it gets "codified", so to speak, as the "correct" way (which... isn't). For extra brownie points, an R4 <> keycap could be added, to allow both PC style and terminal style to be supported.


HTH!

[VoodooBear]

I need this desperately.

[armintehgreat]

This is amazing! I need it.

[Raravin]

Damn that is a fat novelty pack

[Ustinj]

I love this!! Please see it to completion.

[hellokevin]

You know we want it, an interest check shouldn’t even be needed.

[MudkipMao]

wait, this is awesome

The brown legend color on mod is a bit too strong IMO.

Is there a version with Mod legend using alpha's base color?

[sirieous]

very cute, in it to win it if this can happen and doesn't run into trouble with nintendo

[cinnabolt]

100% in

[dibkib]

Can I buy using Nook miles plz?

[Quinella]

extremely adorable!!

[Abec13]

The brown legend color on mod is a bit too strong IMO.

Is there a version with Mod legend using alpha's base color?

Tried that, two things:

1. Killed uniformity of contrast
2. Removed regular dyesub compatibility.

[Coneree]

i dont even play AC and id cop this. great work!

[Chan]

I'm in for one!

[delet_d]

How thick are infinikey pbt caps?

Oh dang. This looks magical~!! I had no idea I wanted this until I found it. I'm super excited to see this keyset. (:

Will be happy to proxy for the SEA region, hmu if you wanna chat

Oh wow. I'm very interested in this. Looks great!

Really cute set!

[28.8kbps]

What a lovely set!

Any chance of the leaf novelty in the base set?

[Radium]

What a cute keycaps.
And i wonder if the space of Infinikey keycaps is warp?

[Mekanist]

Super tempting Splendid job.

[Abec13]

How thick are infinikey pbt caps?

I just measured one of mine to be 1.46mm

What a lovely set!

Any chance of the leaf novelty in the base set?

Probably not. Novelties will stick with novelties.

[kamisamamizu]

Hey I love it!
But I wanna change some things about the novelties.
Why have only 1u novelties for R2? Wouldn't it be better to have a 1.5 replacement for tab?
Also with R3, apart from enter, you need one for caps lock.
For R4, I'd love to have a 2.75u shift novelty. How about the vaulting pole?
I'd also love an ISO enter with the axe.

1u's are to fill columnal space on boards, like my 45-ATS/Adelie, any 65 board, and boards like the TMO, or J-01. The novelties kit is plenty large, I'm not sure expansion is the play here. I'll consider it.

[srignacio]

I'm in! this is awesome!

[//gainsborough]

Just when I started thinking that caving-in to the scalpers on eBay for the AC edition switch was the worst purchase of my gaming life, this IC comes out just in time to save me.  Bless you, my man.

Definitely in!

[Chungle]

This is awesome! I'm building a Norbaforce MK II with the Desert Palm finish and this would actually look SO good with it. Count me in. I will say I would love it if the brown spacebar was in the base kit but I can see why you went with the white. Guess I'll just have to get all three kits :shrug:

[vinyldoodles]

Shut up and take my Bells!

[Flamboyant Ham]

My girlfriend would love this!

[Chungle]

Hey, just thought about this; are there any plans to have a deskmat to go along with this set? It wouldn't have to have any explicitly AC stuff on it necessarily. Like maybe an island surrounded by ocean in the sun or something. Or just some kind of pattern of AC-like items like the leaf using the color scheme of the set.

[sygo_]

Love the colours! The novelties and cute aswell, nice work!

Honestly the sig. image would be sick as a deskmat!

[aodaliya1234]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss PBT as well, after realising how horrible gmk is with the shine i have fully converted to going pbt and other types.

[Ustinj]

Just an idea, I saw you mentioned that brown text on the colored mods were to keep uniformity of contrast. Have you experimented with making the mod legends a darker lightness of the same hue on the mods? I.e. a darker green (but same hue) legend on the green mod, etc? Either way it looks awesome as it is, just might be something cool to try ! I'd love to try doing some desk mat work for this set if ya haven't done it yet!!

[zabblleon]

Have you experimented with making the mod legends a darker lightness of the same hue on the mods? I.e. a darker green (but same hue) legend on the green mod, etc?

Seconded, this would look great. Maybe as a modifier kit?

[oldcat]

ALL IN.

[methbreath69]

Dark green legends would look amaaazing. Hope you experiment more with legend colors! I'm definitely in.

[silversung]

I NEED this to happen. This would look so cute on the frosted Uni660!

HTH!

Thanks for the note about the `~ as for your comment about the ISO keys: while you seem to be more vocal about your preferences than some, I've head others prefer it the way I have here as not to have duplicate of backslash-pipe on R3 and 4.

Well, you could go "terminal style" instead and avoid that duplication (at the expense of adding one key to the mega add-on kit).

It’s always tough to please everyone.

Have you considered a smaller, cheaper, base kit and a few regional expansion kits? Uk iso, expanded ansi, EU iso etc.?

Now, now... everyone should pay the same amount money (including shipping and taxes), get the same keycaps AND be equally satisfied. TOTALLY doable and stuff.

I'm definitely in on this one. So many awesome keycaps, but not enough boards(that I own)!

GB NOW

[Abec13]

Hello everyone, update for you.

This group buy will be running on May 15 to May 29. Yes. 13 Days from today.

I bring a few changes to refine the kits. Deskmats are in the works.

All changes are reflected in the renders on the main post.

Thank you for your support.

List o' Changes
The leaf, bag, and fossil have been modified to be less IP heavy.
225 Fishing rod novelty has been sized to fit a 1.5 novelty now.
A variation of fishing novelties has been added to 1.5 and is mirrored across the sides.
1.25 Fishing novelty has also been mirrored.
Added blue 1.25 Shift to Extension Kit for 40s users who will use this on the right side.
Added green 1.75 Shift for 40s users to use on the left side.
Added blue 1.00 Shift to Extension kit for Minivan users that will use this on the right side.
Changed blue 2u Shift to green as this is actually used on the left side.
Added brown accented leaf to novelties for 40s users to use as an escape novelty.
Added blue tilde-grave.
Added blue and green (whatever the name of that) ISO key.
Moved accent arrows and numpad enter to add on kit.
Removed 1.5u "Function" keys from Add On kit, as there is already a 1.5u Alt and Fn in Base Kit.
Centered icons.

Canadian Proxy Added: Deskhero

Art Caps
For this set I will be working with:

YOOO!  BEST NEWS!  How the heck did you get this to GB so fast?!

[PikaJoyce]

-What are the RAL or Pantone colors codes you are using? And, more specifically, what colors are you color-matching for the blue, green, and brown?

Any answer for this?
Mostly worried about getting a set with colors that didn't look anything like the renders.

edit : Would you consider getting samples as well?

[EpictheHamster]

Are these dye-sub or laser etched? laser etched wont last as long and i hope these will last me a while if i buy them. Otherwise Terrific Job! These look amazing!

 I AM SO READY FOR THIS!!!!!

[NeroGrave]

How long will this GB run for?

[kamisamamizu]

Shame about the changed novelties, but I like seeing 1.5u ones. Seemed strange only one shift had a novelty.
Still no ISO novelty, but oh well.
Hyped as f for it.

[zabblleon]

Unfortunate there's no non-brown option for the modifiers. Might still be a pickup though, don't see anyone else doing the NH colorway in the future.

[BreadBanana]

Can't wait to buy the set! it's unfortunate that you can't keep the original design of the leaf, bells and fossils definitely buying day 1 tho!

[bisoromi]

I hope we can see some samples in the future! Love the colors and hope that they come out well!!

[Abec13]

How long will this GB run for?

Til June 15. Will update.

[dibkib]

Argh, I wasn't expecting the GB so soon and won't have time to budget for it. Shame, but I'm excited to see what it looks like on people's boards!

[Tyson]

Looks like this will be my first PBT set in 2 years. Glad this set was so fleshed out that you were able to hit the ground running and get a GB date really quick! Can't wait to see the set in person!

[vinyldoodles]

Sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but what profile are these?

Can't wait for the GB. My poor wallet is not enjoying this month.

Sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but what profile are these?

Can't wait for the GB. My poor wallet is not enjoying this month.

These are going to be cherry profile.

I hope we can see some samples in the future! Love the colors and hope that they come out well!!

Would be totally in if we can see samples and color codes!

These look great! Let's hope the colors turn out great.

We need samples pictured next to an Animal Crossing Switch. I'm sure OP wouldn't mind if somebody sent one.

From what I read Gok sent you the files for the 7V render is it possible to render this set with the 7V in E-white? since I'm getting the 7V and your set, it would be awesome!

possible rama collab?

Trying to figure out, does the base or expansion come with a 2U right shift key? The base keys aren't labeled with sizes so I am not sure. Trying to see if I can get it to fit my ducky one 2 SF that uses a 2u right Shift.

The Key Company site has the sizes in the screenshots at https://thekey.company/collections/group-buys/products/infinikey-pbt-islander. You'll need the expansion kit for the 2u right shift.

I also note The Key Company still has some images with the older version of the leaf that had some questionable IP issues. Hopefully, those images won't upset a certain company.

Um.

The 2u shift in the expansion kit is a left shift. It's green. I think frostrambler might be out of luck.

These are incredible but god I need them in DSA. I just can't use cherry profile. Any chance of a followup run?

[DNWMN]

since all ive been doing is playing animal crossing.... this would be perfect

[Rilow]

No EU vendor?

I dont have a ton of hours on AC yet (just finished paying off my home loan and got the store built), so maybe I just haven't come across this yet.  What is this supposed to be?:

[pixelpusher]

Ah!  I see it now!  Thanks

[pixelpusher]

Hey, any chance we can have an addon pack that has like 150 goddamn bunny day egg caps?  Like maybe 150 3u caps?  Seems fitting.

[gecruz]

I'm undecided since now I'd have to buy another kit just for the accent arrows

Prototypist is UK. If these doesn't ship until next year and there's a hard Brexit, Europeans have to pay import taxes.

Someone had similar concerns about GMK Bleached. Here is what Jae had to say:

Proto[Typist] is acting as lead vendor on this one, doing the negotiating with GMK etc and running the GB with the designer after talking about the project at a UK meetup and is effectively a UK community project.

I understand the concerns, and GMK timelines still show the set shipping in October. From delivery to buyer shipping turnaround will be 1 day, so its highly likely that shipping will occur in 2020 and we will be working with GMK to achieve that.

Whilst you are right that we dont know the UK's position within the EU and any shipping / VAT or other constraints in 2021, there are contingency plans in place to ensure that shipping can be conducted without inference of additional fees should delivery of the GMK sets take place in 2021. 

Also, VAT will be paid on these items at point of sale where it is due; and will be marked as such when shipped if any delays push the delivery into 2021. The GB takes place as an EU transaction at the moment and is bound by the single market and customs union rules. Those rules state that goods sold under them should only be inclusive of VAT once. There will be many many businesses that sell something in 2020 that ships and is delivered after the changes take place; and both the EU and UK have said that those customers should not be impacted.

Finally, its highly likely that the current end-date of Dec 2020 for the UK to formally leave the EU trade agreements will be extended given the impact the Corona Virus has had on the economy and this is something myself and my accountant are paying close attention to.

Oh damn you're right. Haven't thought about that.

EDIT: The deskmats look awesome!

[sirieous]

damn that fullart deskmat is so gorgeous

[mikagee]

Is there an estimated shipping date for the keycap set and deskmats?

[switchnollie]

This will look great by my Switch

[platypusduck]

Is there a chance of running this at least until the end of the month, or even until June 1st?

[kamisamamizu]

Bought base and novelties!
