Title: [GB] Katakana Cherry PBT Sets by TKC (Shipping to TKC - Extras Soon)
Post by: TheKeyCompany on Fri, 01 February 2019, 08:07:31
Please fill out this quick survey if you joined or plan to join the buy. We need to make a decision on which base to cancel to proceed. (https://goo.gl/forms/PGhzP20MiAPcQTrw2)

*If you end up with a ridiculous shipping rate that doesn't make sense, its because Im using a new third party app. Please drop me a line at orders@thekey.company (http://mailto:orders@thekey.company) if that happens.

Hey everyone! Honch0 here. You guys spend alot of time on mechmarket, and you know as well as I do that there has been a MASSIVE uptick in group buys lately. Seems at any given time there are 3 or more GMK buys going concurrently. GMK sets are great. They are, in my humble opinion, the finest keycaps money can buy. But compatibility drives the cost up, limited font options, and they just dont fit everyone's budget.   
 
Last year I started working with a new factory in China (new to me at least, these guys have been making kits awhile now). I wanted to bring something to market that was different, affordable, fun, and high quality. After months of screwing around on Illustrator and getting samples back and forth allow me to present: 
 
TKC Katakana Cherry PBT
 
- PBT dye sublimation 
- Target price $75 +/- depending on color way
- Mac keys included in every kit 
- UK ISO keys in every kit 
- Ortho Keys Included
- Waiting on factory to see if we can add a 6u centered stem spacebar and R3 Esc
- 4 color ways available (for now) 
- Estimated delivery April 2019
- Kits packed in trays
 
Proxies:
- Americas - The Key Dot Company (https://thekey.company/collections/coming-soon/products/katakana-cherry-pbt-sets)
- EU - MyKeyboard.eu (https://mykeyboard.eu)

Were going to be running more of these apple font sets this year so an icon mod set it doable! I just wanted to keep the aesthetic clean and authentic for this debut.

I don't like the italic fonts so much... Wouldn't it make more sense to use cherry style legends, which allow to have bigger letters? Probably function keys font look too big in comparison to the others?

The italic font was kind of the point: Every set on the market with few exception is the same font.

No, I dont have any samples of the gray. However there are pantone codes on each mock up to help illustrate the color.

Just buy 2 sets; they’re $5 off each when you buy 2+. Use KATAKANA as a coupon code at checkout.

2 sets of these cost less than a GMK base kit. And it’s more keys.

Very excited about this GB!

A detail that I want to point out for the Matcha set:

(https://i.imgur.com/2G1azid.png)
In most other sets, the 1u backslash cap on the numeric row (circled in orange), is usually in the color of the alphas (in this set should be the cool gray color) to achieve a full symmetrical look for layout such as 7u-spacebar HHKB layout.
Please check if you can modify this for the production.

Thanks and I am looking forward to it!

No, I dont have any samples of the gray. However there are pantone codes on each mock up to help illustrate the color.

I'm interested in the colour of the grey set too. I googled the pantone code and came up with this illustration of 2 varieties of 'pantone grey 1', from the XDA Oblique gb (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=93586.0):

(https://i.imgur.com/BS0gj3f.jpg)


Personally, I think '1 U' looks nicer, but I think I'd be just as happy with '1 UP'.

I chose Cool Gray 1 because it was the closest swatch I had to OG Cherry double shot black on grey. It’s an ambiguous color and will compliment many different color ways.

How are they handling the White on Black?  Is it reverse dye subbed?

I missed the IC, but colemak / icon mod / katana kits would be an instabuy for me.

Good luck with the GB.  We need more GBs like this.

Reverse dye sub.

The MOQ are way too high to offfer child kids like COLEMAK. Sorry.

And thanks! I hope everyone likes it

Just want to point out again, in the Matcha set, as the top row 1-unit backslash cap (circled in red) is there for the HHKB style layout, like the keyboard examples below, it should be of the same color as the alpha:

Get them both, theyre cheap enough! 2 sets with the discount and shipping is still less than one GMK base set! As far as thickness, Ive not thrown a micrometer on them. Ill see if I can get around to it today. There is a pic in the post showing how thick they are compared to GMK.

You just got lucky; someone on Reddit asked for macro shots of the legends. Sorry the photos aren’t better, I’m recovering from the flu.

Legends are smaller, which I like. Helps make the set different than so much of the other bilingual sets out there. The legends are surprisingly crisp as well from the test set I've had my hands on. Would def be in for a few sets based on what I've seen in person.

Will Matcha modifiers be darker as shown above or a bit lighter like in the OP? Maybe it's just the lighting that makes it look a bit different.

The Matcha looks over brewed towards dark grey in this lighting, hope it is lighter in color in person.


A comment about general keycap sets that make use of the legend ‘code’ as a modifier:

For text modifiers, I hope TKC consider trying to use something other than ‘code’ that has real historical convention, such as the ‘meta’, ‘super’, ‘hyper’ from the space cadet keyboards of Lisp machine. A lot of sheer profit GB runners like MassDrop just brainlessly use ‘code’ in most of its set, which is tasteless.
Seeing how TKC runs the GMK Terminal, I believe TKC is into delivering nice designs, hope you can consider this text modifier advice in the next designs.

On the Grey and Black combo, is are the mods Grey on Black or WoB?  They seem WoB, but wasn't sure.

On the Grey and Black combo, is are the mods Grey on Black or WoB?  They seem WoB, but wasn't sure.

Alphas are Pantone cool gray 1C. So slightly darker than white.

How do the matcha greyish white compare to the WoB white?
I'm almost on board but I can't make up my mind about these two.
I got a pearl white ChikoryBLE incoming and I think both would do well on the board.

GMK sets are great. They are, in my humble opinion, the finest keycaps money can buy. But compatibility drives the cost up, limited font options, and they just dont fit everyone's budget.   
 
Last year I started working with a new factory in China (new to me at least, these guys have been making kits awhile now). I wanted to bring something to market that was different, affordable, fun, and high quality. After months of screwing around on Illustrator and getting samples back and forth allow me to present: 
 
TKC Katakana Cherry PBT

Just out of curiosity, how well is this gb going for you so far? I hope that it's going well enough for future drops.

Just want to point out again, in the Matcha set, as the top row 1-unit backslash cap (circled in red) is there for the HHKB style layout, like the keyboard examples below, it should be of the same color as the alpha:

Please kindly make this change for manufacturing.


Other than this one, this GB looks totally fantastic!

Thanks for pointing that out, ill get it squared away as soon as this flu subsides.

Hope the correction of that backslash key color is already in progress
And your flu has recovered I hope! :)

Hey everyone. As you may have heard we fell a bit short of MOQ. These sets are based on 2 base colors, grey and white. Each have a pretty steep MOQ. One has to go. I tried everything to get them to drop MOQ, get proxies to buy extras, buy extras myself: Cant make it happen. Either grey or white has to go.

If we drop the white base: BoW will be cancelled. WoB will use grey base. Other kits remain unchanged.
If we drop the grey base: Grey will be cancelled. Black & Grey will be come Black & White, Matcha will use white alphas. Other kits remain unchanged.

Please place your vote on this survey and help us to decide what we will do. (https://goo.gl/forms/PGhzP20MiAPcQTrw2) I will leave the form open for 48 hours. At that point a decision will be made, whichever kit is cancelled buyers will be emailed with a choice to cancel or change their order, and we will reopen the buy for a few days to let others join in since I pulled the plug on white a bit early.

Thanks for your vote and your patience!

Grey base has been cancelled based on survey results.

Grey set cancelled.
Grey / Black is now White / Black.
Matcha will now have white alphas instead of grey.

White kits remain unchanged.

I will be emailing everyone affected next week to give them the option to change their order or cancel for a refund.

Buy is also reopened until Friday next week.

Yes I was interested in this too. I mailed mykeyboard.eu yesterday, and they said they will get infos  from thekeycompany. That should have happened yesterday. So I hope they will refund the money soon.

I might have missed it somewhere but what happens to WoB then? The base changes to WoGrey?

Edit: I did miss it, Grey was cancelled so WoB remains unchanged.

Yes, only white base sets were put to production. BoW, WoB are unchanged. Grey was cancelled, Matcha and Grey/Black are now using white alphas. I sent an email to everyone who joined for a grey base set to let them know of the changes.

Estimated delivery is 4-6 weeks from today.

No quality issues. Logistics. Took almost 6 weeks to get payment to the factory because the transfer kept bouncing back. In the meantime they got some large orders. Been a pain in my butt!

Had to send them back 2x now. Been a pain in my ass. I think we finally got it all sorted now and should have them next week.
