GROUP BUY LINK

Hello everyone.

As mentioned earlier we have been working with JTK on HSA, their new keycap profile and we can finally share the launch sets and the groupbuy details!

We plan to run the following two sets at the same time.
There is one kit only, focussed on basic compatibily to keep the price low. I was told by JTK that in the first production run ISO support wont be a thing. JTK will most likely have a change of heart and put ISO support in the basekit as well. I will share info about this as soon as there is an update.

MOQ per set: 250.
The set will be packaged in JTK trays.

Vendors and pricing HSA White on Black
US: novelkeys.xyz: 75 USD
EU: mykeyboard.eu: 75 EUR
ASIA: zfrontier.com: 479 CNY | en.zfrontier.com 75USD

For that price, how can I not?

mrpetrov · « **Reply #2 on:** Mon, 30 September 2019, 17:01:40 »

Looks cool! Any chance of a side profile comparison to other established profiles (cherry, oem, sa, dsa etc)?

Also, fix the reference to "White on Brown" above pricing.

ttom · « **Reply #3 on:** Mon, 30 September 2019, 17:05:29 »

finally it's happening, definitely in with that price

You already know once ISO is there I'm all over these

toddwardz · « **Reply #7 on:** Mon, 30 September 2019, 17:25:42 »

Consider it sold, at least one or two to me :-).

Rob27shred · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 30 September 2019, 17:28:00 »

Awesome pricing! Definitely a little cheaper than I though the first sets would be, count me in for one WoB set!

piercejenkins · « **Reply #9 on:** Mon, 30 September 2019, 18:05:11 »

It’s a long shot, but any chance we can get some ortho support? Asking for a friend 😅

He's asking for me 😂
run
Ortho support would only require 4, 1u mods and a 2u spacebar, at least for minimal support. It's ok if they don't do it for this run.

I do think split spacebars would be even better considering all of the split builds - Alice and so forth.

Looking forward to hear about that good news from JTK

Protein · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 30 September 2019, 19:24:48 »

I like it. How about comparison shots with cherry profile?

Damage · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 30 September 2019, 21:11:34 »

I’m in, probably for one of each set. Looks great.

But are they really gonna say “BACK SPACE” on the backspace key?

ptiede · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 30 September 2019, 21:19:27 »

100% in for brown!

Mcnos · « **Reply #15 on:** Mon, 30 September 2019, 21:29:10 »

I'm in, but why do the renders have so much shine on it lol.

Did Tyson run the design for it lol

Thats an old render ˆˆ. Has been fixed already with new molds. The kit renders show the updated keys.

booleanjulien · « **Reply #18 on:** Tue, 01 October 2019, 02:37:50 »

I'd love to see the brown a bit darker/richer. I made some quick mockups in photoshop:

helix999 · « **Reply #19 on:** Tue, 01 October 2019, 22:35:07 »

The brown looks amazing, in for sure!

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #20 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 09:04:49 »

If i read the post right on the keycaps page, they’re really gonna be this shiny. Fine by me, I like that. Will they dull over time?

Any chance of brown set w/ USA vendor?

+1

Love the shine. Would like both black and brown, would be great if carried by the same vendor.

JTK is considering adding these molds from the start for these HSA sets ;-). Konstantin and others helped drafting the required keys.

sevenseacat · « **Reply #31 on:** Thu, 03 October 2019, 08:42:51 »

Love the idea 👍 This run isn't for me due to no Colemak compat but I'll definitely be in for a future WoB run when that compat is added.

HoodrowThrillson · « **Reply #32 on:** Thu, 03 October 2019, 09:19:55 »

I love SA's shape but they were too high for me.

I'm totally in for this one.

donutcat · « **Reply #33 on:** Thu, 03 October 2019, 10:21:18 »

Would like to note that in the renders you've got a SRCLK key instead of what I presume should be SCRLK.

This is my mistake. The wrong key will be corrected.

Kavik · « **Reply #35 on:** Thu, 03 October 2019, 10:48:12 »

piercejenkins · « **Reply #36 on:** Thu, 03 October 2019, 12:33:21 »

Please please please add a few 1u mods for ortho support!!

online · « **Reply #37 on:** Thu, 03 October 2019, 12:41:34 »

I wish it includes smaller spacebars (2/2.25/2.7u), i would order beige on brown in an instant.

geekit · « **Reply #38 on:** Thu, 03 October 2019, 21:27:12 »

Apology if these have been asked before, but what is the homing type on this profile? Deep dish, bar, or dot?

And since this is already shiny from the start, I guess I don't need to ask this, but still.. what type of plastic? ABS or PBT or..?

beekey · « **Reply #39 on:** Fri, 04 October 2019, 04:23:47 »

Will get a brown kit, but would love to see ortho and split space support.

to quote from first thread: "HSA or HALF SA is a double shot ABS keycap profile with a glossy finish."

Thank you. And from the renders, it seems that it's using deep dish homing keys? Or is it a dot/bar?

phinix · « **Reply #43 on:** Fri, 04 October 2019, 08:18:24 »

Does it mean no ISO for first run?
Would ISO be available once moulds are done?
For example if you guys run brown set now, base kit, will you make ISO in the future for it?
