[IC] Jukebox SA Round 3 (Feb 2019 Updated)

[livingspeedbump]

It is that time to begin looking at getting Round 3 going.  I am starting to work on forumating the new kits right now, essentially adding the keys to cover the new layouts that have gotten more popular since the last run. I will be probably be including all novelties from round 2, and certainly look into adding some new ones as well.

I've also been working on adding a few new colors and brand new kits to the mix, I hope to have those ready and rendered sooner than later to show and see what everyone thinks about them. I'd like this to be the biggest and most unique run thus far!

I would like to get feedback specifically on these points:

• Ergo Kit - For ErgoDox/Atreus - Legends or no legends?
• Ortho Kit - Legends or no legends?

In general, I will try to make as many folks as possible happy this time around and be slighly less worries with pricing than with the past 2 runs. The community has grown a lot in the past 2 years since round2 and I'm sure we can still bring the price to a reasonable level even with further additions to some kits and extra/extended colorways. I'm going to be here listening to suggestions for a bit and then will try to include those in the initial kit renders in a week or so. Don't hesitate to throw around any ideas you may have! 

I'll start, I think this should be a thing, just because

Interested for the 40s compatibility.

I’d like to see a comeback of the starburst novelty and also some various sized space keys. Like 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.75.

still want gmk tho

Awesome!

Note-Shift keys and Space Bars will all be R3 due to Signature Plastics molds.

How does it differ from e.g. Carbon SA Round 2?

[William_S_Jones]

Great to see your rd 3 post here since I first saw a reddit MKB post. I’m in for alphas and the universal 40 kit. Might be in for a few more kits too.

Yeah the space keys will certainly happen either via a bars set or the 40 set, whichever makes the most sense.

Could you please clarify, did they not add Shifts in correct profiles by now? I have Carbon SA Round 2 and both Shifts look R4 (big one and tiny ISO one).

Don't hesitate to throw around any ideas you may have! 

1. It would be good to keep the spirit of the set but maybe explore the retro-futurism direction?

Guns, robots, rockets etc. These are toys but they show the style:





2. F-row flex kit.

3. Maybe an additional colour to spice things up? Something like dark yellow for a few novelties...

There will be one, if not more, additional colors to really help spice up the kit and bring some new life into it.

Honestly, I credit Jukebox and Pulse for getting me this deep into the hobby.  I watched those two group buys pass and I regretted it so much.

Nice! I'll finally be able to fill out some of the kits that are hard to find on mechmarket. Especially hoping Colevrak kit is offered.

[mimalik]

Plz drop this soon.

[HPE1000]

Oh im ready

[AaronR]

Any chance of a Mac OS X (cmd & opt) mods kit?

[hhkbp2]

Nice to hear it will get back! Love the retro theme. The Jukebox Round 2 is usually my daily driver, even though I have more than a dozen keycap sets. Very interested in new colors/kits.

For the Ergodox/Atreus kit, I prefer to a legended one if it has legends special to the theme, like what's in SA Oblivion, or a blank one rather than some normal modifiers legends like "CAPS LOCK", "{[", etc. With the normal mod legends, it's hard to match my volatile keymaps. But with special legends, it works as the same as blank one in function but it looks better with some legends rather than blank.

[dededecline]

Ergodox with novelty legends or symbols would be instabuy for me

[coffeeshopcoder]

This is awesome news !
I have looked forward to this set so long
Novelty Idea  based on Futurama Planet Express Logo :
(thought of this after seeing one of the user avatars above)

Also _ I'd so like a mac Ctrl , OPt and Command - Symbol keys (even if these are considered novelties !)

[mimalik]

How about a sperate mod kit in red (RN) with VCO legends?

[seville57]

Lookin good.

Would be cool to have a novelty even if it was just loosely inspried by Futurama, given that the set is. :)

[Lbibass]

Glad to see this coming back! It's such a fantastic set!

[Lndefinite]

Yes please!

I need jukebox in my life.

[comdata55]

Can't wait to pick this up!

Will definitely have that! I'e had my sets on ortho boards the last few years, probably my favorite place to use the set personally.

i bought a ace xt40, but i was looking for jukebox 40 kits almost an year

Should be able to update with my initial kit ideas here by tomorrow afternoon. 

I've also talked to OutragedPudding about adding some of his design expertise to a desk mat and novelties (if he wants )

Also, keep in mind i AM HERE TO LISTEN to kit feedback As always I'll try to balance price and users needing/affected by kits, etc to the best of my abilities, but initial kits certainly won't be the final ones 

[Wood_Cables]

Well crap these caps are coming back? One of my favorite sets that I've never been able to get ahold of.

[mimalik]

Any thoughts about this???

i feel like i've heard this one before

[cijanzen]

Holding my breath waiting for today’s update!

Oh, I died.

[AaronR]

Any update yet?

[seville57]

Some bad ideas maybe but a upright slap bass/guitar (like Gretsch 56/57 ?) v8 legends on/for  the Crtl, Win, Alt and FN/Menu caps row/for the F keys row.

Like a Novelty kit.

One of if not my favorite shows ever.. Novelties based on the show would be great.  Will be in regardless.

[vicissitude]

Wish there would be space bars in VCO(6.25u+7u) and RN(7u).
Also looking forward to 1.5u ctrl and alt and 1.75u capslock in RN.
They would definitely make the whole set interesting.
