I don't know is it a novelkeys or what but there is no wob alphas in Griseann base kit, what happened?I accidently sent an older render of the base kit to renders, they should be fixing it.

Can Op make it clear which blank keys on the Space Bar kits are a convex surface?Yup, I can edit it to add the size of keys (and all spacebar keys are convex)
(i.e. similar to the curved-up surface of a normal Space-bar)
When will the GB be available on MyKeyboard?The products are up but not grouped together, should be fixed soon!

Good to know that all spacebar keys are convex, including those 1u and 1.25u etc.
Spoke with JTK, everything but the 1U is convex. The 6U is centered and offcentered.I'm asking JTK and double checking to see if they are convex or not.Can Op make it clear which blank keys on the Space Bar kits are a convex surface?Yup, I can edit it to add the size of keys (and all spacebar keys are convex)

Spoke with JTK, everything but the 1U is convex. The 6U is centered and offcentered.I thought I saw someone mention that the position difference between centered and off-centered was close enough that it could not be done in a single bar (for all MX keys, not specifically JTK). The other mount point would get in the way as you depress the switch.
Novelkeys says these will ship October 2021? Will these actually take that long to produce and ship, or just a really safe estimate?

Not buying another JTK set until HSA ships. That GB used new molds too...

Why isn't this popping off more?
Why isn't this popping off more?There's also hesitance over JTK usually. I understand why - their legends have improved but still aren't quite the same as GMK. I hope to be proven wrong soon.

There are a number of sets that have run in November / December with slow but still respectable sales. Not a whole lot of insane smash hits though.

Are JTK hard plastic trays included for the base kits for sure? zF stated that they will be packed in plastic sorting trays. Similar to those in-stock JTK sets here: https://en.zfrontier.com/collections/jtk/products/in-stock-jtk-aj-doubleshot?variant=32761503973454JTK told me base kits will ship in JTK trays.
Today is the last day to order.
All kits will be made.
Reminder that you shouldn't stretch yourself thin, especially with the COVID and it being the holiday season. If you have to pass on this because you don't have the capital to do so, it'll be okay. There will be plenty of extras.
Thanks to everyone that has joined so far, it means a lot to me.
Next update will come from dvorcol with the final numbers.
Nope not yet, we'll probably know closer to when they'll ship.Today is the last day to order.

Hey, any idea on the pricing of the extras?
No kidding about the plentiful extras. I guess it all works out for Hoody T.:D
Am looking forward to that Griseann, and also took the opportunity to get some black minibars - should work well with just about any old WoB set.
Has production started for this set? JTK seems to have issue fulfilling GB as early as early 2020. Any insight would be helpful.

Novelkeys and I both have had trouble recently getting in touch with zF (the main point of contact for JTK). Once I get more info I can relay it back.
For our timeline, this set will not go into production till much much later because the molds need to be created.
These are brand new molds (since different legends), so it'll take some time.Has production started for this set? JTK seems to have issue fulfilling GB as early as early 2020. Any insight would be helpful.

Like the end of 2021 or some time in 2022 or almost 2023...???
Heard that they already have their mold - but hope they at least take their time to make everything right.
I still have hopes that JTK can produce up to par (GMK / perfect alignment and no weird font oddities) keycaps so I'd be ok waiting long if that could come trueI am hoping for this as well.
Any update on ETA?
Hate to be that guy, but is JTK radio silent about this?
Just curious. The last "real" update was Hoodrow's post in April 2021.
I know this is super late in the game... but is there any chance of shipping these in the toxic green color jtk trays that are in gb now? I feel like it would combo great.
zF sent me an email this morning. Tripleshot molds are done, production is starting. Will finish production sometime between end of month to sometime in April.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/P9JpIJL.jpg)

Sometimes GBs are tests of not only our patience but also our memory...
But finally in production!
Do they plan to ship in these boxes?

Was wondering if there was still a way to preorder on novelkeys site. All I see is in shipment, will they be posting extras as soon as they arrive?

I don't know about Novelkeys, but it's available for pre-order on Apex Keyboards:

Any date for the drop of extras?
Both my Griseann and Royal Alpha are missing the 1.25u Fn key. Anyone else?
BTW, Extras are up on Novelkeys.

I haven’t gotten mine yet, but several of the production photos earlier in this thread seem to indicate the same problem.

Edit: It's there. Pointed out on discord. Probably just overlooked it.

How do the legends compare to GMK legends? (Assuming no alignment issues of the past?)

They're fine. GMK is a little more consistent. This set has some line weight and legend size variance, but its very slight and not that distracting imo.
The main difference I've noticed is the texture. JTK is a lot rougher. It almost feels like the texture on my viper mini whereas GMK is more smooth in comparison.
legends are kinda **** if im being honest
same letters on different keys can be thin af or thick af
super inconsistent
personally i dont really care but others might

my set looks OK
can you post pics of your set?
I just got my Griseann set, and two of the shift keys (2.75 and the second 2.25) came in gray instead of black. I don't know if I was unlucky or more people are affected.Yeah, reporting mine also came with a gray AND scratched Shift...
EDIT: Actually, half of the keys are a different color, but it's not as noticeable as those two.
Whatever we should collectively set our expectations to be - near GMK prices and wait times for nowhere near GMK quality is not a precedent I wish to set. Of course I hope most sets turn out great, but since I had the option I cancelled my order over these reports. Best of luck to everyone.
poor PancakeGoon...
his post immediately prompted me to check out one more time my JTK Griseann set that I put away after my first on arrival examination.
And I also took out a GMK WoB set (Katakana WoB) for comparison.

Thanks bud... Yep. It's rough, it was avoidable, and in some cases drastic-enough that I don't believe it was just missed entirely by QC.

Do you know if these colour issues [i.e. gray key instead of black] are extant mainly in the Griseann set, or also apply to Royal Alpha?
But I really have no idea about the quality or consistency with the RA manufacturing. The very few examples I've seen posted (like... literally one or two) around Discord & Reddit looked fine to me, but it's a really light set so you'll have to find someone who owns it rather than rely on cherry-picked, honeymoon build-pics, imo. A lot of the defects with Griseann is so noticeable—and exaggerated—specifically because it's on Black ABS, and I don't imagine anything but legend ****ery, exceptionally-bad key shaping or injection misfires standing out upon casual examination alone...
In other news, I've sent back the original, I'm still begrudgingly keeping my replacements as I just wanted the set too much, and my NK rep 'Derek' stood his ground in minimizing the existence of JTK's clear choice to send out obviously-inferior sets, and have stopped responding to my requests for a discount voucher for my next purchase. :))

Hi, just received JTK Royal Alpha today. I was checking the set and noticed that I was missing the green ¬` keycap that was shown in the updated renders. Is anyone's JTK Royal Alpha missing this key too?

That got addressed on the Discord but may not have gotten echoed here. JTK decided making a second UK backtick keycap per set was going to be too cost-prohibitive, and that was apparently something not noticed during the quote process.
