GROUP BUY LINK (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=103268.0)

Hello everyone.

As mentioned earlier (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101920.0) 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.

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.

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.

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

Any chance of brown set w/ USA vendor?

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

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

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..?

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

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?
