Hello everyone,
I'd like to introduce the second version of SA Oblivion. I've been asked a lot through PM's and such when this set would return, after all it has soon been 2.5 years since the last time you could purchase this without having to scour extras and mechmarket, so it's long overdue. Originally, my plan was to run the set again in MT3 doubleshot when I saw matt3o doing MT3 Susuwatari. However that set has yet to ship, and also I would want to use a different font for this (and other) projects if I were to go the MT3 route.

Are these gonna be in the same color codes (barring any variance on SP's part) as R1? Looking to pick up a 7U spacebar so I can finally use the set i grabbed off mechmarket with my TKLs.
, as well as replacing the Assembly/40bit kits with a combined Git version similar to what GMK Monokai Material will be offering,Yes please, I always felt it odd that the other kits were assembly based and not git based.

Any chance for an aluminium RAMA Git Artisan on this one as well? Or do they not do SA Aluminum anymore?

Also curious about this, would be dope to pick up an SA profile Git artisan.

Has RAMA made an SA profile artisan or could this be the first?
SA sucks decent set tho u know
- Cleaned up 40bit kit, remembered 2.25u and 1.75u row 3 also being used in other layouts
- Added F13 to Alternate Function Colors
- No longer considering merging Assembly/40bit into a single kit with Git legends
- Still considering adding a 2nd B to each Alphas kit, just feels out of place and weird for most buyers. I don't mind a 2nd B in a addon kit covering those special layouts, but in this kit setup, it would fit with the Alphas the most.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/zxiIQfZ.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/zdqHOf7.jpg)
I understand your reasoning of not including a typist kit, it's just a bit disappointing as Oblivion is such an iconic set that I had hoped to get one day (personally use colemak dhm, which isn't covered by the previous colevrak kit).
- Is there anyway you could at least support US ISO with 4 extra keys in one colour on one of the mod kits, as you are with GMK Monokai Material? That way at least ISO uses can physically fit keys on their keyboards even if the legends are wrong. If not, then it does exclude a lot of people straight off.

I'm seconding this, it was a massive bummer to see not even the most basic ISO support since the only board I use is ISO (and I massively prefer ISO in look and feel), I feel like most of the reason separate ISO kits fail is that they drive up the price too much when basic support of the layout can be added to existing kits for the price of a modest chocolate chip cookie

Hurry and get the ones that are available on Drop's closet sale. They are priced reasonably and probably won't last too long now that r2 is happening
Will it be run via Drop in North America or a different vendor?
This group buy will be hosted by Drop this Summer.
Could the assembly kit get 2 1.5u spacebars for the Corne/Lily58/Orbit-X/etc.?
Yes, I wish to make MT3 Oblivion one day. It just wasn't time yet as MT3 Susuwatari has yet to ship (the first doubleshot MT3 set), and I wouldn't be doing Oblivion with the existing legends so a complete retool of the legends would also be required.

I'd be all over that. I would suggest using the brighter white colour, as opposed to beige alphas for that set. But I guess the renders and prototyping will tell you what's best.
would this ever be ran in XDA or MT3, both supperior layouts?
For XDA, I'd love to [...]

No, you wouldn't.
May not be economical for you since shipping is from the US, but there a few ISO kits available from Drop here: https://mechkeys.drop.com/collections/everything-left/products/massdrop-x-oblotzky-sa-oblivion-custom-keycap-set-45404?variant=31412011565100
Could the assembly kit get 2 1.5u spacebars for the Corne/Lily58/Orbit-X/etc.?
Unlikely, very rare layouts and it would be 4 1.5u keys (two for each color) that are not present elsewhere in the set, so they would add a noticeable amount to the price.

I dunno, man. I'm glad he's favoured MT3, my fave profile. I have canvas in XDA and it looks beautiful...but I hate typing on it. Unsure how many others share this opinion.
I have nearly everything from R1 and looking forward to completing my set, plus new alphas. Hope this sells somewhere other than Drop, I won’t buy there anymore.Seconded.
Im waiting to GB of this set. It looks very good, and the quality of SP keycaps is always the best.
Count me in, love me some clean hagoromoAlways though the hagoromo kit looks better than stock oblivion too
No ISO support? :(
To be honest, the way of Colevrak kit is made is completely wrong. The set should include Alpha Set and Colevrak instead of split them up.
1. Colevark Users has to to purchase both alpha and colevrak if they are interested. Otherwise, they can purchase only alpha.
2. Why will any person buy only a colevrak set if there is no alpha to go with it? especially when most of the group buy only happens once or twice.
3. If a person is missing an alpha set, And the Alpha set is no longer able to find, they can pay the price of (alpha+colevrak) set instead. I am pretty sure most will purchase anyway, knowing that the after market price will be much higher anyway. Items sitting in inventory because it is incomplete, not because there is no demand.
4. Let's say that the person already has alpha and only need Colevrak. they can purchase and sell alpha without any problems.
It is not because Colevrak is a problem, but the design assembly problems.
The easy way out is to take out the set(s) completely instead of thinking of a way to solve. Which, sadly, most of the designers have chosen.
You will ask me, why not combine ISO and others like the colevrak set as well. The answer lies in MOQ and the price of the items.
Given that the Colevrak set price is basically another alpha set to begin with. User already pay double. and We are fine with it since it is our hobby.
Let say ISO is $20. Will people pay $60 more just to get a $20 values? Maybe not.

I have had the same tought as you, but there are a couple of reasons Colevrak sets are set up this way. I believe to get full coverage for all layouts in one kit, the keys you could take out of a QWERTY alphas kit are minimal. Any advantage is negligible.
To avoid this you could in theory have a Colemak, a Dvorak and a QWERTY alphas kit, and while QWERTY is horrible by all means, most people stick to it. Dvorak/Colemak users are a minority and sales numbers prove that time and time again.
But there is hope for us. Look at KAT Space Cadet. The way KAT sets up MOQ it becomes feasible to have a dedicated Colemak and Dvorak alphas kit.
Personally I also like novelty legends a lot, so I tend to go for those. Look at upcoming KAT Iron which has Phoenician alphas for example. I prefer those over Latin legends any day. Of course not when it becomes overdone, like Hiragana.
Vote for ISO...immediately ordered the ISO NorDe kit from Drop, just to notice afterwards, that there is no basic ISO support in none of the modifier kits 🤦♂️😖

Which keys you after? I am only using some keys from my R1 UK Iso kits, I have spare monochrome returns, the git return , the shift, and the alt gr.
Currently waiting for pricing from SP. Will update with launch date soon.
Please don't cut Mac OS X extras. There are not an insignificant number of us Mac users who'd really appreciate having that option. Please!
I swear I check back on this thread hourly. Those mods make me salivate.
I realise it's probably too late but another vote for bringing back the Colevrak kit please. Specifically in Hagoromo color way (otherwise I'd buy the overstock now). Makes sense to ditch some of the novelty sets as they're optional, but for non-qwerty users the Colevrak set is essential. I definitely regret not buying the first time round, it's such a beautiful set! 💙
I will certainly not be ditching Git modifiers (the only real novelties in this set) in favor of an alternate layout that sells 20 units.
Any update of the GB time?

Derp, my bad. Definitely in for a few sets. Is this going to run anywhere else besides Drop? No love for LATAM there.

As far as I know SA doesn't have small convex bars. Only R3.
any possibility of Sol2 support for Ergo kit?Yes, please consider adding two more R3 1.5u keys to the Ergo.dox kit for boards like Boardwalk, Sol 2, Pan, Mün, etc. I would really prefer not to buy another mod kit just to get those two keys. I suppose if the 40s kit were super cheap I wouldn't mind buying it for more R3 1.5u and some 1.25u keys. While I also have a Sol 2 that has 1u inner mods, I would probably just use the 1us left over from the from the thumb cluster and ignore the sculpt because those mods are separated from the alphas. Alternatively, you could buy the Assembly kit for those 1u keys. Actually, the Assembly kit would be a pretty good add-on for Ergo users because of the 2u blanks in the Alpha colors. Hopefully they aren't too expensive.
2x 1.5 R3
1u R2, R3, R4 for inner column
Confirming that those are not spacebar shaped. SP SA tooling only offers 4u, 6.25u and 7u as far as I am aware.Does SP really not offer convex 2u spacebars? That's a bummer. Would have liked to see those in the Assembly and Ergo.dox kits. You would think that there would be enough demand for that size...
Also, please do not forget to add a monochrome iso enter key.
That is all.

Good luck with getting that. ISO is IS NO
...
For these reasons, I have removed some decorative kits (tenkeyless.asm, macros.asm, LED, OSX, communities), as well as Minila, Colevrak and ISO layout kits. Once we've weathered 2020 and MT3 Oblivion happens, I intend to bring back Typist and International support.
...
I really hope this has icon legends like GMK Oblivion III.

Is it just me or did the hagoromo kits get new renders?

I did a full refresh of the renders, added a 2nd B to the Alphas and trimmed 1u/2u shifts from Modifiers to improve pricing.
Currently renovating my room into a office space so a bit busy atm, but will be sharing more news this week!
What are the chances this will have a EU drop, like they've previously experimented with?

I'm interested in this too but I'd also like to know, if you were to do MT3 Oblivion, how far away would that be? At least a year away?

It’s fair to say that Susuwatari ended up closer to Oblivion as a keyset but not fair to say that Oblivion would look like this if made in the MT3 family.No.I'm interested in this too but I'd also like to know, if you were to do MT3 Oblivion, how far away would that be? At least a year away?

Go look yourself. Susuwatari looks nothing like its advertised renders.
Is this still happening Summer 2020? Haven't heard anything new about the GB since April.According to Drop‘s discord, it's next month
We're going live in August ;) might have another feature to reveal soon
Are the prices up?This.
Are the prices up?
With massdrop’s new system of charging when ordered, is there any benefit to buying sooner rather than waiting until the last day?There are no price drops so it doesn’t matter when you order. Not that it is useful info now but it didn’t matter when you ordered even when there were price drops.
Is the ordering system messed up on Drop?I didn’t notice anything unusual. What prices are you seeing and for what kits?
Every time I add another item, it adds the full alpha price + the addon?

Any chance to include one more tab key in the modifier kit, so getting 2nd alpha kit can technically cover 2 boards with one ANSI and one Tsangan (or 65%)?
