SAMPLES PHOTOS

Keyreative and zFrontier have sent me some fantastic samples for superuser,
they have done an exceptional job at colour matching to the Pantone swatches!
I am very pleased with how these have come out, the legends are super sharp
and the colours completely carry my design intention.

COLLABORATIONS

Be sure not to miss the NovelKeys NK65 Superuser Edition, the first
ever KAM RAMA cap or Rocket Cables' custom Superuser cable!

More

NovelKeys will be making a custom NK65 Superuser edition to perfectly pair with your set!
A translucent dark grey case with 353C green scanline stripes on the rear and bottom facets
is the ultimate way to complete your setup!

RAMA

I've worked together with RAMA to create the very first KAM RAMA cap to be made available!
With this new CNC profile, other designers will be able to collaborate with RAMA on KAM caps
going forward. The Superuser RAMA will be matched to 7545 C (mods grey) with glow in the
dark green enamel infill!

2x deskmats designed by Eura are available, these are being run by NovelKeys and proxied by all vendors.

Made of 1.65mm thick, all over dye-sublimated PBT.
kam_superuser will be matte, instead of glossy.
Official lead time from Keyreative: 8-10 months after group buy.

It took me a while to decide between the standard mods and the highlighted mods. Actually, now I don't remember which ones I chose finally. I will find out when I receive the package. hahahah

Yep, I have KAM Starry Night and Little Pilot... I really like this profile. Typing speed and accuracy is outstanding (better than KAT or GMK even). I'm really looking forward to this colorway w/ the matte finish used for KAT.

what mods is everyone going for? I was going for terminal... but think I'm going to switch over to highlight

It was between those two for me as well. I went with terminal but also got the novelties to maybe throw in a little highlight. I just wanted my board to be as terminal like as possible.

New to mechanical keyboards, first time groupbuyer, registered just to say I'm probably not part of the targeted audience for this design, but i'm all for this set day one. With that said I went with the standard mods.

How does one stand the wait from groupbuy start to expected completion date? lol

You tend to hop on more GBs then needed just to temporarily satiate desire haha

I chose highlight for both standard and ortho. It reminds me of the times when all I could use to emphasize something on the screen was the reverse highlight.

sevenseacat · « **Reply #30 on:** Tue, 02 February 2021, 08:59:04 »

I went standard. Using the novelties will be enough highlight for me.

..//dexx · « **Reply #31 on:** Tue, 02 February 2021, 11:50:46 »

In for alphas + mods and the NK65 Superuser Ed.

retoid · « **Reply #32 on:** Tue, 02 February 2021, 11:52:15 »

I went Highlights for the mods, they looks really nice.

I believe I may have already said this in the IC thread, but things like this aren't helping with getting my credit card paid off.

retoid · « **Reply #36 on:** Tue, 02 February 2021, 14:35:18 »

lol, just look at it like you are getting it now, potentially saving yourself at least an additional $100 from buying it second hand after they've already sold out

So I don't wanna be a Debbie downer for this gorgeous set, but I've been waiting 3-6 months over expected due dates for other Keyreative sets (Atlantis and Oasis), not to mention the huge volumes behind sets like KAT cyberspace, with nothing but foggy due dates coming from the Vendors. Does anyone here know for sure that this company actually delivers products? Just wondering. Thanks,

They've had a tough year for sure and they are undeniably backlogged, but they are currently making some changes bringing injection moulding in house and bringing a lot more brand new dye sub machines online. So in theory things will improve this year and they are committed to getting it all right. KAM Wraith took exactly 1 year though which is the closest comparison.

How in the world would they be the only ones who didn't have a terrible year?

Here's their recent statement: https://en.zfrontier.com/blogs/project-updates/202101-kat
