Good news everyone! Today we will be delivering to the keycap set KAT Slurp to the mechanical keyboard enthusiast community of Planet Earth. This set is inspired from Futurama, and the best-selling drink of the universe: Slurm. This highly addictive set represents the luminescent soda encased in a dark blue can with the brand name “Slurm” written in bright pink.

I'm a sucker for novelty alpha kits, but with this set I think the Latin alphas work so well as a Cyberpunk theme. I went for that instead.

I feel the same way. I opted out quite a few which I otherwise would have joined.

The good news is that the pipeline seems to be moving again.

Too many KAT delays is why I've skipped several other sets, and even though this is a very unique set I wouldn't be surprised if many also overlook it from "KAT Fatigue".

That said.... *insert an appropriate GIF about shutting up and taking my money*

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry if i sounded too personal. It's just nice if a group buy keeps us informed. Even if it's just to say that they are waiting on news.

No worries, you're right I should have updated with a comment saying I was waiting on vendors. I'll be posting final numbers *hopefully* in the next couple days. I got my final numbers from OCE so just need EU and Asia to update and then I'll give the final tally. Thanks for supporting Slurp and can't wait to share samples as soon as I receive them!

Samples are here - the plastic chips next to the samples are the Pantone colors for reference. I'm very happy with the result of the samples - the pink is super bright (looks a bit rosy in photos but looks very hot pink in person), blue is spot on, and the neon came out amazing. Let me know what you guys think!

No official response to this? I know there was a similar issue with the accented 'e' keys on the French kits for KAT Eternal which was a ****up on the designer's part and never resolved because it wasn't noticed until eventual delivery. This being pointed out sooner, I would hope it's not just ignored.

Supposedly it was noted since IC but I guess it wasn't fixed. At least it does not show up in the GB pictures as fixed.


Opening a can of Slurp and having a closer look at the kits, I noticed a few things:

* Text + Icon Mods: spelling error, seemingly carried over from Cyberspace: R2 'Fuction'

* Novelties: are those really R2? (if yes, please educate me how you would use them ;))

* North: I looked at the kit checking for ISO-DE compatibility, which looks fine, but I noticed the main symbols (pink)  and shifted symbols (yellow) are  not consistent, in the sense that for some keys they are swapped out. Having looked only at the ISO-DE case, I think the marked keys should have the symbols swapped:

Show Image

I really love the downshifted symbols' concept :thumb: Regarding blue modifiers, I like them and they make a lot of sense in the context of the KAT MOQ system, so a good idea to have them.

Just want to have this on my desk already... <3

Thanks for all of this, I'm going to get back to kitting this weekend and make sure everything you noted here is fixed. I really appreciate that! And trust me I can't wait until I can announce a GB date! Currently in talks with some vendors and trying to get those locked in. I will provide an update on that hopefully next week sometime when things are more set!

I reached out to Keyreative to resubmit this kitting to fix this error in the legend. Thanks for the help pointing this out :) I don't see this being an issue since production has not started. I also have reached out a couple times to see if we can get an update on a timeline for Slurp and I'll update the thread as soon as I have more information on that.

The fix to this key has been submitted and accepted by Keyreative as of today so this should not be an issue for the production of the set  :thumb: Still waiting on a timeline update.

Finally got a word back from Keyreative. Production is estimated to be completed in December 2021 - January 2022. Shipment of the completed sets is not yet known but I'm working on seeing if we can get a general sense of when it will be in our hands.

Unfortunately I get short responses so I'm not sure why we are pushed back. I would hope that March is their conservative timeline for production to start. I will continue to reach out and provide any updates I get from them.

Delays are annoying but as long as it means decent QC I am fine with it. What would piss me off is repeated delays and still ending up with bent space bars, sloppy legend alignment and missing keys...

Okay here’s what I have as an update for y’all:

- slurp is getting to the front of the queue
- keyreative is making new samples of all keysets with their new machines
- the area where keyreative is has now entered lockdown yesterday and the factory is working at reduced capacity, not sure for how long
- alex was going to take delivery of the new samples this week but at this point it's unknown when they'll be sent
- the new colour matching should not be problematic for slurp, it's harder for sets with lots of grays in them

Also to note, zFrontier is in Shanghai which has been in lockdown for almost three weeks now so sending and receiving samples etc. is not easy. I will try to get a more detailed answer to what "front of the queue" means as far as production timeline.

Lastly, samples for deskmats have been made and I have received them. They look great and have been approved. I will post photos of them shortly.

"Front of the queue" means a lot less when at least 3 KAT sets I'm in which should have already shipped according to Keyreative's schedule (Hyperfuse, Iron, Atlantis) have shipped between few and absolutely no orders yet.

See below for TKL sample received on 6/2/22. Photos were taken with iphone, one under direct light, one at my desk with crappy lighting, and another taken outdoor not in direct sunlight. Let me know what you think :) Note: the R key was not in the samples as well as some bottom row keys. The R key is GMK Deep Navy for reference I guess  :rolleyes:

According to Keyreative on their Discord server, "Delivery by schedule date" (source).
From the same Discord server, schedule date is July 31st (source).

Keyreative told us (our vendors and I) that they have confirmed shipping will be in August and they will try to ramp up production to shorten the delay.

That's right. Scheduled to ship out towards the end of the month, hopefully earlier.

Confirmed from Alex at Keyreative that the set is in production at the moment!

Very minor kitting change to Ergo Mods. Keyreative caught an issue with the Neon Tilde/Back Quote and Dash/Underscore keys. The legends were hidden in the AI file. Keyreative and I have fixed this issue by doing the following: Tilde/Back Quote and Dash/Underscore legends will now both appear on the key (in blue/pink) be centered to match the rest of the ergo set.

Yes, shipped to vendors as far as I know. We received ours at our forwarder this week so i'd expect arrival in November/December.

Update on US orders and the MKUltra situation:

Unfortunately MK Ultra has been radio silent in our (myself, Keyreative, zFrontier, customers, etc.) attempt to understand what is going on. MK Ultra had promised to deliver on Slurp (and other group buys) before officially closing doors (last message I received from MKUltra was 9/24/2023 stating this). In speaking with Keyreative/zFrontier there does not seem to be a way forward with MK Ultra. Currently, zFrontier/Keyreative is offering Slurp at a heavily reduced price with free shipping if you made a purchase of Slurp if you order within the following time period Nov.13 2023 - Feb. 28 2024. Please see this form for further instruction https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeW4XX0x649HCaMUW6j0eaWTSRDvJAQWavAfJolcpaB5jLE1g/viewform.

This situation really, really sucks. I apologize to every customer that made a purchase with MK Ultra and may not receive their product. I am exploring further options with the other vendors of Slurp to help those customers that have made a purchase with MK Ultra that may not receive their product.

The keycaps supposedly were finished and shipped months ago. Has anyone received anything?
Can we get a definitive statement, are the keycaps on their way?
We are coming up on 3! years now since the GB ended. At some point this becomes ridiculous.

Did you order from MKUltra?
Because I have some bad news for you.

Dang I just got into mechs again recently after growing tired of topre (after 8 years lol). DSA being my fav. Well I built a bauer lite with KAT atlantis and absolutey love it #1. I missed this entire debacle 3 years is insane. I went to switchkeys though and bought what I guess are extras that were in stock and they were 40% off for 40%s day. After conversion I paid $62 dollars for the caps and 20 dollars for shipping to the US. That's about half of the $155 I paid for Atlantis. Anyway I still think it's too good to be true and https://www.switchkeys.com.au/ is down right now (although I read they're super legit) but I just wanna say thank you to all you nerds. I only found this set some months ago and I got it for half off! It matches the color of my water in my case. Thank you groupbuy early adopters such champions so brave

edit:
Here are some pics of the set if anyone cares: https://imgur.com/a/E9FS0qo
