looks like it was a raffle since it said key's would ship immediately. Otherwise my guess is key's were first come first serve based on your selections. Aka if you selected key's that had already sold out when your turn came about he moved on to the next customer. I am not sure thought honestly.

just curious why the TMX stem didn't make it over to the v3? is it because of the mempo insert?

There is a TMX version of the base for the v3, but I'm keeping it out of this sale to reduce complexity.  The TMX version is also IMO more niche since it is taller than the MX version by about 2 millimeters.

So this is a limited entry group buy, right? We enter a raffle, and it we're selected you make the keys we've selected?

It's a group buy in the sense that the keys are made after orders are taken.  You will not necessarily win all of the keycaps you select in the order form.  The winners for each keycap will be selected by a raffle.

You're telling me we're getting an SA profile appropriate Keybuto III?!?

Edit: just realized that sounds snarky, but it was genuine excitement! Love the SA profile, but there are not a lot of SA profile Artisans

KEYBUTO III SALE

Show Image
Show Image

Show Image
Show Image


THE CAPS:
* Because of the modular design of Keybuto III, each one comes in a kit of at least three parts: the base (keybuto), the mask (mempo), and the crest (datemono). The parts can be interchanged at will.  In this sale, the bases are all MX-only-compatible.
* There will be "double kits" available so that you can start personalizing your Keybuto build on day one.  A double kit includes at least two of each type of part from a single colorway family.
Show Image
Show Image
Show Image

* There are 13 unique sculpts in the sale, as described in more detail below.  The specific parts you receive in a kit will be randomized.  However, the order form will have a poll in it, and the most popular part types will be produced in greater numbers.  The less popular part types will have higher rarity.  The kits are designed so that any combination of mask, crest, and base will look good together.
* There are four color families in the sale that are based on various popular keysets.  Due to the big number of possible kit permutations, the sample kits are just examples shown in the photos.  Your kit can include items that are not shown here but that fit within the colorway you selected.

THE SALE:
* The sale will open at 5pm MDT on Tuesday, 21 August 2018.  The order form will be posted here.
* The format of the sale will be a limited-entry raffle.  The order form will close when one of two conditions is met: (1) a minimum of 60 minutes has elapsed and a predetermined number of entries has been reached, or (2) 24 hours has elapsed, whichever comes first. Protip: Be early-- the last few sales using this format have closed very early.  I am setting the 60 minute window so that everyone has ample time to read and understand the sale order form and other materials.
* Successfully entering the sale does not guarantee an invoice.  Winners will be selected from the pool of entries.
* Invoices will go out ASAP after the order form closes, and payment must be received within 12 hours or your order can be reassigned.
* Prices are $75-$80 for a single kit, $150-$160 for a double kit.  You will be able to win up to three kits (and a double kit counts as one).

THE FULFILLMENT:
* Shipping ETA: 20 October 2018 (probably sooner).
 
Show Image


DETAILS:
There are five types of mask (mempo), each with a name based in feudal Japanese samurai culture:
1. Sosan - this name refers to the Soshu sword-making tradition which was prominent in the Shogunal capital in Kamakura.
2. TantoVile - this name refers to the short sword (tanto) carried by samurai.
3. Gokaden - this name refers to the five sword-making traditions (Gokaden) of the Koto Age (A.D. 987–1596).
4. BizenFiend - this name refers to the Bizen sword-making tradition of southwest Honshu island in the Koto Age.
5. MinoWar - this name refers to the Mino sword-making tradition of central Honshu island in the Koto Age.

There are seven types of crest (datemono):
1. Avius
2. Darkwing
3. Shogun
4. Nox
5. Ranger
6. MiniEvil
7. HiShogun

Show Image

(Darkwing-TantoVile-Nightfarer Keybuto III)

PAST UPDATE:
So you got a new artisan, and your collection increases by one.  Pretty exciting.  Maybe it fits your next build -- even more exciting.  But how would you feel if adding another keycap got you six free keycaps in completely new colorways? What if buying one more got you 24 free new artisans? What kind of customization options would you have then?

I'm happy to introduce Keybuto III!

Show Image


This project revisits and refines the original Keybuto design while simultaneously adding new interchangeable armor ornaments.  Every Keybuto equips a modular, resin-cast mask (mempo) and crest (maedate).  The armor ornaments can be modularly paired with other Keybuto helmet bases.   

Show Image


The vision is to give you the ability to use your Keybuto even if you're like me and frequently change out your keycaps and jump between different keyboards.  You aren't locked into a single colorway, look, sculpt, stem type (currently there are TMX and MX options), or height/profile because all of these features are customizable.  It's also fun to match a Keybuto with your other artisans.  Your options increase exponentially (literally) as you add additional Keybutos, masks, and crests to your collection.  Two keybuto sets = 8 possible combinations.  Three = 27 options. Four = 64; 5 = 125, ...

More info is on the way!  I will have some late-model prototypes to check out at the upcoming Utah keyboard community meetup (June 30th), so I look forward to hearing your feedback if you'll be there.  For everyone else, I am slaving away to get you in on the action very soon.  Let me know what you think!

Thanks for looking,
Bambino

    A: Bambino is a patent attorney by day, and Suited Up is an amalgamation of "lawsuit," "lawyer up," and his life as a "suit." The Suited Up Keycaps emblem resembles an "S," indicative of the brand moniker, but is also based on the section symbol "§" used to identify legal codes and statutes.

Sure, the height varies slightly based on the mask and crest assembly, but they are about 12mm at the "ear" and about 13.6mm at maximum height from base to top of crest. 
For comparison:
Keybuto II is 12mm max
Shishi is 12.8mm at the nose
Fugu is 13.6mm at the eyebrow/14mm at the mouth
Kosmonaut is 17.6mm max
