The Jukebox Group Buy is now active on Massdrop! The good thing about MD is that all child deals will tip with the base kit!

(I will edit this post more asap! I just wanted to get one up to lock the IC page)

Truly fine key-sets released thus far.

With this one, kind of looking around for a 1957 Chev, done up in these key-set colours to purchase.   Want to really have a fully authentic 1950's feel here in Convict Town  8) .

Oh, aren't we all. This, MS, Retro, Penumbra R2. Even worse, with all these SA caps I'm really, really starting to prefer only using them over all my other keycaps.

Ahhhh my friend, so you've finally seen the light and realized the ONLY real key-cap profile worth buying from SP is this one  :thumb: . 

Good on you for coming to that vital decision, for myself, no longer bother buying anything else besides SA from SP these days.

Lol, I'm only using SA profile caps nowadays, too. My black round 3 Cherry profile PBT caps finally arrived (all 4 sets) and I put them straight into storage.

"Hi, my name is Oobly and I'm an SA profile addict."

I have Penumbra permanently installed on my KBT Pure and have used PuLSE, Nuclear Data, 1976 and Hack'd by Geeks on my other boards. Penumbra R2 may replace the originals on the Pure and I'm going to install Carbon on my black GON. I MUCH prefer sculptured to all Row 3. I'm still finalising my wooden case for 1976 and Retro SA and I definitely want to make a red vinyl covered case for this set :) Possibly with some chrome "flair". And I'm going to make a board for my brother with Danger Zone on it once I've bought it (he's a pilot). That'll bring the count up to 10 sets in total... I'm gonna need to make some more keyboards.

How about adding a link to the massdrop GB in the OP? Have to link through to the IC to find it at the moment.

Currently on 84 buys, 15 (totally pointless) commits... meaning one more to tip, and I haven't even ordered mine yet because I can't decide what kits to buy.  :D

So I guess it's happening.

Do you know if massdrop is listing each child set as a unit sold in the same way they did with the recent Granite sale?

While I can't answer for certain, but to my knowledge that is how all massdrop buys go.

When I first bought in to the Topre PBT spacebar buy I was 99th, but by the end I was in the early 100's.

Honeslty, not sure. I'll ask kunal and get back to you. Good question. I would assume so, but I'll still find out  for sure.

I just saw this on Massdrop today after starting a WASD poll, I hate that I missed this. This is the best looking retro set that I have ever seen. I am old so I've seen a few. I just hope that it will get another 200 votes so I can get a set myself (subtle hint for others to vote on Massdrop) . The design and color scheme is better than I could believe a keyboard could be. I would buy a new keyboard for these.

Unfortunately Massdrop says that for everything and generally keysets do not get rerun unless they are authorised by the designer.

Your best chance of getting a set is pm'ing livingspeedbump and seeing if there are any extra sets

And luckily I'm not into trying to make this set exclusive. A few of the novelties were run just this once, but should the set ever get enough votes/interest I'll be more than happy to let them run it again.

Darn, I'm another person who intended to get a set, but I was distracted enough by work that I missed the buy opening and closing :(

This set had been on my mind a while, and was the reason I logged in today. Oh well, I added my interest to the massdrop tick box.

Hey! You have a few options. I did give SP permission to make some extras to sell in PMK's store after the drop sets ship out (probably be ~$10 more expensive than the drop), and I've already told Massdrop that they are more than welcome to run it again anytime there seems to be interest. I know I'll be heading up another GB for a V2 with a few additions after the original sets ship out.

I've always wanted to try making a few sets that are all interchangeable and based around the same idea. So for "Jukebox R2" I'll want to do the same color alphas with black legends, integrate a new color into the modifiers somehow, but still try to retain the same feel of the set overall. Doing this would really allow to mix and match a bit, which I think would be cool. The idea could bomb, but nobody's done it so who knows.

I think the red legends really make it.

And I'll run it again with that. By "Jukebox" in the previous comment I mean't an entirely different set, just one that will still work with the Jukebox kit if you have it as well. I've got some designs, though relatively undeveloped, for a full Fallout themed set that will work withing the boundaries of what I'm hoping to do with the sets.

If anyone wants to bail on their set, I'm eager to snatch it up.

I contacted SP a while back asking about purchasing any extra sets they might be making, but they said:
    "Unfortunately we cannot add individual orders to this run"

I don't know if they will make extras for sale on their site or not, especially since it went through mass drop.

PMK should have some for sale after they ship from MD, I gave them permission to sell some from their store! If not MD will probably also have a few extras :)

How often will the "current quantities" update on massdrop

Massdrop doesn't have a set time for updating the spreadsheet, the current total number of purchases is correct, but that number is inflated to include all sets purchased.  The trend has been that we will never know for sure even after the drop is complete.  The truth is that the "savings" are marginal but can be significant if you are purchasing more than one of the same kit set.  Reality for most is that it will likely only cut marginal dollars off the total bill.

The unlocked prices can actually have a large impact on price.  For BASE+TKL+NUM+ALT MODS+novelties, there is a savings of $65 between the lowest unlock and the highest.  I've made a spreadsheet to help calculate the prices of your purchase based on what you want to buy and how many are participating but without the individual number of participants of each part of the set, it's just an rough estimator now. :(  Anyway, here's the link: Jukebox SA Price Estimator (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qbaldFxZepL-u8o-gRuqjDmBHFIGVv55NUPr5DXOqSg/edit?usp=sharing). I've set it to only allow editing in the "CURRENT SOLD" column. Let me know if there are any issues and I'll try and resolve.

What does "MOQ" stand for?

Minimum order quantity. It's how many of a certain product need to be purchased before the seller commits to producing it.

Thanks.  So you guys don't like jukebox?  Why wouldn't this make MOQ?

Some people like it, some people don't. It has already made MOQ though. I think every SA profile keyset that has appeared on Massdrop has met MOQ. Here's a list of the current quantities purchased for each kit:

I'm thinking about buying this set and building a full size themed like an old Wurlitzer for my Uncle's office.  He collects jukeboxes.  He has around 100 vintage jukeboxes

That's a lot of jukeboxes.

Sooo....I've never typed on SA. It looks AWESOME to me, but I've never wanted to stomach SP's price tag (I love the look of modern selectric specifically, but it's never in stock. Also, expensive.)


I was planning on a set of Ducky's thick blue/gray PBT keycaps. Can someone chime in on this kind of ABS keycap set compared to a nice thick PBT set? My only MK right now is an older Das Keyboard with the OEM keycaps on it (ABS, top printed. They're not so great, but I'm used to that profile.)


This price for a good looking SA set is hard to pass up...even if it's not my first color choice.


Thanks!

Pretty sure this set is slick, no texture.  So that alone should give you an idea.  As far as thickness, these should be thick as ****.  They will be thick, heavy, and slick.  The PBT I've used felt like gritty velvet or like a chalky feel.

Also, if you buy and don't like this set, you shouldnt have a problem selling or trading it for what you paid or more.

Hmm, maybe I'll jump. Been pondering DSA vs SA as well, but you're right - I could easily turn these around later in the marketplace section :)

Anyone know if there are more price drops for kits already unlocked at level "4"?  Like maybe for the TKL kit? Or is it already at it's low point?

Just have a look by yourself https://www.massdrop.com/buy/jukebox-sa-keyset?mode=guest_open there is a table with all data. This is not in sync with orders but updated regularly (once per day?).

Andy,

Do you know if massdrop is listing each child set as a unit sold in the same way they did with the recent Granite sale?

Each one counts towards the final count, so like 1k units sold is the total number of kits/child deals  :thumb:

Since the buy is over, I'm closing this thread back up and leaving the IC thread open  :thumb:

Talks about future plans and kits will be happening there. Thanks to everyone for a hugely successful round 2. Was absolutely not expecting it to sell nearly as many units as it did <3
