Post by: fishpod on Wed, 14 June 2017, 10:02:51
JTK's sorting now :)
[attachimg=14]



GB ended

thank you for all your support.

we sold a total of 149 sets with 120 orders. 58 international orders and 62 from China

How were the winners generated?

1. Got a list of orders from zFrontier and made an copy.
2. Censored LAST NAMES of most of the buyers for privacy concerns. (Most because some of them are obvious pseudonyms and some of them i am not sure if i censored the last name or the first name :( sorry if i couldnt figure it out)
3. Generated a random sequence and sorted the list with the sequence generated
4. Generated random 3 sets of 10 random numbers from 1 - 120. Each set has 1 winner.
5. Generated 3 random numbers from 1 - 10. Each number decides which number will be counted to in number set, and that is the winner.

Thank you all for your support ;)

feel free to ask me any question regarding this groupbuy or your order :) I will be happy to help

the 15% sales and free shipping is still on!
You can get 2 sets of JTK WoB for just over $100 and free shipping with summer promotion.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just found out that zFrontier has offered a JTK Summer Sale.

Buy any 2 JTK sets will get a 15% off.

And it seems that pairing White on Black with any [in stock] JTK sets will also get a 15% off, and since the subtotal is still over $100 after the discount you are still able to get the free shipping


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GB LIVE
Over two years ago, JT debuted with the classic black on white combo ABS double shot Cherry profile keycaps and received much love from keyboard hobbyists. And here, I present you the new JT WoB upgraded with compatibility.

The black and white color combo is always timeless and elegant. The color scheme goes well with almost all keyboards on its own and is also a decent match for GMK RGB/CMYK MODs. It is simply a must-have classic.

This! And is there any R3 Ctrl there? Not sure about those Ctrl key size at the bottom.

I picked up one of the originative JTK sets and they do have a R3 Control key. So there is at least a mold for that.

(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0267/1905/products/jtorange-wkl-2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1487372716)

It also comes with some windowed keys, some novelties (like Geek Hack, JTK, and a few others), and some extra spacebars. Is that something we will see in this set?

Also what are the extra arrow keys for?

Oh and also interested in picking this up as well.
Title: Re: [IC] JTK WHITE ON BLACK
Post by: SwordLaker on Wed, 14 June 2017, 22:30:00
Why does JTK insist on that XP-era Windows logo? GMK has moved onto Win8/10 a long time ago, and this has been my biggest annoyance with JTK so far. Also, there's only one 1u Windows logo key? The 1u Fn is a replacement for 2.75u Shift and does not exactly belong to the bottom row.

Just a personal preference, but I'd like a R1 1u Backspace as well.

And if I might give another preference, the JTK BoW is on much higher demand and is more of a classic IMO.

Another vote for the R1 \|.

Also, +1 for the R3 "Pg Up".  It was something that was lacking in the BunnyLake sets for 65% compatibility.  Ideally a R2 and a R3 novelty cap for increase flexibility would be nice, but those might have niche uses.

Can someone explain the need for both “Control” and “Ctrl” keys? Seems redundant. Personally, I’d rather eliminate one of them in favour of something else that can be used as an alternative to the Windows keys (Command, Code, whatever).

And it seems that pairing White on Black with any [in stock] JTK sets will also get a 15% off, and since the subtotal is still over $100 after the discount you are still able to get the free shipping

Doubt any molds changed, it'll probably look how it did before. You could check newer runs of their old sets on zFrontier (https://en.zfrontier.com/collections/keysets/products/jtk-orange-on-black)? Seems like it's still a little wonky, I assume those are new batches but it could be old stock.

I've asked the OP couple of days ago, and he said that JT had done some samples and are now starting the production. But it is a bit delayed for sure.

I hope this does not place the JTF Black ln White is in jeopardy?

I am afraid so:( more people were in favor of a GMK set than a JTK set, so i made BoW with GMK

JTK had some family issues to deal with lately and has been working the entire chinese national day holiday to catch up :)

He just announced in zfrontier's chinese site that he will be giving some free caps to the Photostudio buyers since it was way behind the schedule. I believe WoB will start shipping within this month :)

Will keep you guys updated! :thumb:

If you have any questions, just shoot :thumb:

Got mine, looks good. The keycap cases are much more durable than GMK trays, and they mostly stop the keys from bouncing around (tighter fit).

Hi there!

Russian customs in particular is known for being BRUTAL with opening packages

Famously, they once destroyed an LZ board.

Hi there!
  • Yesterday (19.11.2017) I've received my set of JTK WoB (order #ZFI28172177). Outer packaging is flawless, everything's great. But then the problems started to come out. I took the first tray out from the bubble wrap and saw that it wasn't closed, so the keycaps went down. After I grabbed the first tray, I saw the big dent and a lot of scratches. It was quite hard to close the bent tray, even took some force from me. Second tray is in perfect condition — a few scratches, zero dents, and it was closed unlike the first one. Then I started to inspect ​​every keycap from the first tray and noticed, that many of them have significant defects. So, there's link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VxD0r49Ks4115qlZyEkfKdySRtoudpoj?usp=sharing (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VxD0r49Ks4115qlZyEkfKdySRtoudpoj?usp=sharing) to Google Drive where photos of those defects are uploaded (main defects - dents, font inconsistency; low quality control). Hope you'll notice most of them.
  • ZFrontier's support replied that they've contacted the shipping carrier. Turned out that damage has been done by the customs, specifically their work's neglect. At the same time it is worth mentioning that even if customs officers actually unsealed my package, they would've included certificate of inspection.
    I don't get why are ZFrontier so confident about that inspection, because they must have sent me a certificate if they did that.

I have contacted zFrontier with your situation and they confirmed to me that they tried to ship your package multiple times. First time with DHL, the package got send back. Second time with TNT, same thing happened. Third time with EMS, and it got through but damaged as you mentioned. I am sorry to hear this from you and am working with zFrontier to provide you a solution.
