[IC] KAT Love; What Is Love? Short update on the set
« on: Wed, 06 January 2021, 10:23:51 »
KAT Love




This is a short update on KAT Love.
As you may know Keyreative is not in a great place right now with regards to production. I am not as hopeful as I was before on their prospects, so we have decided to postpone KAT Love for the time being as we search for a new keycap manufacturer. The set will still run but we would like to finalize the new manufacturer and update kitting before announcing anything further.

Hey everyone, this is KAT Love




The Discord link leads to the ApexKeyboards server; if you are interested in getting updates or have any questions you can also do so there for a faster response.


Kits and Board Renders



Kits
We are looking to offer 4 base kits with this set, the primary purpose for this being to create kitting that is beginner friendly and provides a simplified purchasing experience.
We will still be offering standard KAT kitting which allows you to mix and match kits to get what you want most.
Each base kit supports supports UK ISO, Ergo, and a number of modifier options for 60%-TKL (including F13); 1 base kit and 1 set of alphas should cover 2 board a 60/65 and a tkl.

For this set I chose not to use the standard KAT font, The fonts being used are Roboto Medium, and the sublegends and Japanese use Noto Sans JP Medium


Pure Hearted Base


Black Hearted Base


Black Hearted JP Base


Pure Hearted JP Base


Novelties


The rest of the kitting can be found in the album here:
More
Alphas
More
Mods
More
Colevrak+
More
Space+ F
More
40+Ortho
More
Ergo
More

Please keep in mind I am still finalizing the Files and there are some alignment and positioning adjustments that need to be made, I am currently working on those currently. Click below for close up renders
More
These images are quick renders and are slightly rough only meant to give an idea what the legends will be like. These are still being worked on as mentioned earlier.

    • Round One Samples Have arrived, the pink is slightly off so we have requested another round. You can find the images of the samples under various lighting here:https://imgur.com/a/ZI9Y1dv  I am still learning how to take product/color accurate photos so please keep that in mind. The first image is corrected for color accuracy the rest are unedited to show what the keycaps look like under different lighting scenarios
    • The round 2 samples will be with the proper legend placement. The first round is being treated as samples for color matching

    • Minor adjustments to legend placements and corrected any errors or missing legends

    Looking to see what kits are offered.

    I prefer a dual tone keyset and the current offering of base sets don't have enough contrast to me. It's too white or too dark, but if I can mix and match with black modifiers and white alphas I'd be interested.

    Edit: Nevermind saw the other kitting option was hidden, then awesome

    No worries. I wanted to offer simple base kits for people that weren't interested in mixing and matching and then standard KAT kitting for those that were, and i hid them since it would have taken up a lot of space to show them all regularly

    Would love a 1u R2 Control in the 40s/Ortho kit. Appreciate that there's the 1.5u and 1.25u options for it.

    Definitely liking the pure hearted colors, although i would go for JP alpha and Latin mods likely. if it is not cheaper to go with the full JP set.
    Would you think that french support could be added? would make for a decent gift if so. Else, well, will need to see what kind of money i have when it goes into group buy, if i can i would be in for a set for me :)
    and very nice roses kinda sad the dark one is dying, but fit the theme.

    Hey Everyone sorry for the lack of updates. We have received the first round of samples and a second round has been requested. The colours are slightly off and hopefully this will be corrected and where we want them for production and gb with the second round. The second round of samples will also feature proper legend placements so please treat these as only samples for color matching. You can find the images of the samples here:https://imgur.com/a/ZI9Y1dv
    You can also find some other changes and updates above.

    possible to have sublegends without jp mods?

    Yes absolutely! The goal is to offer 4 base kits to make purchasing easier for those that do not wish to mix and match, while offering standard kat kitting as well. So you can buy english mods with jp alphas if that is what you are interested in.

    They goal will be to try and match to the pantone chips we are using for the set so that will be the best reference of what the keyset will look like

    This is a beautiful set! Hopefully the manu for KAT sets steps up their qc on their modifiers and 7u spacebar. It's been consistent that the mods easily come off the stab stems and the 7u just straight up not work

    Thank you, I will make sure to keep this in mind, but it is not something I've encountered with the blanks we ran nor the alphas set I have.

    I just noticed Pure Hearted Colevrak+ kit is missing R3 semicolon/colon.  The other three kits have it.

    thanks for the continued support, I am currently discussing with ApexKeyboards what are next steps are going to be. Ultimately we are moving away from the KAT profile and looking for a new Manufacturer for the set, this also means the set will not be in the KAT profile.

    Yes. Speaking for myself the experience working with keyreative has been terrible, I don't feel comfortable running this project with them any longer, I do not want to take peoples money and be in a situation like other sets that have run prior are in currently.
