Aug 4 Update!

JTk Purple on White

Please fill in the form if you are interested!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSedot03_gggsG3opI7rgAIhbm5iSfqvz3ASXIw8Chxq7gF6CQ/viewform

Also, we are starting a new form for the Purple on White Mods Addon. JTK does NOT plan to offer these addons  at the moment, for they are concerned that there wont be much demand for the Purple on White mods. Tell us what you think, and we may have a chance to make the mods happen!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdnPpVJ12YFEZOJJ2aKb4_1j8oc81ChJnOYbMC0Jm-a8gm1Tg/viewform

also, mockup here...

Base 141keys
Alphas: Purple on White
Mods: White on Purple

PRICING UPDATE

DAMN I ****ED UP WITH THE PRICE.... There was some miscommunication, sorry guys
here is the correct version:
WoB was $59 https://en.zfrontier.com/collections/jtk/products/jtk-white-on-black
PoW set will be selling for 30RMB more than WoB, that is $4 more, 59+4 = $63

from the results we gather so far from the forms, the numbers are looking great! We will have this soon!!

Thank you for all your support!

Hi guys,

I see the JTK White on Black GB and there are some other color schemes like Orange, Red, Pink on White and Orange, Red, Pink on Black.
However, I really miss the Purple on White, and I could no longer find it selling.

I saw some people expressing the same feeling, so I decide to check it up here to see if you are also interested in a JTK purple on white set.

here's a photo of the previous run of purple on white
[attach=1]

Hope you guys like it!

Interested. Been looking for it but people seem to think it's worth R1 SA pnumbra prices circa December 16. Slight exaggeration but they're asking way too much for a jtk set.

Post by: KaosJ on Mon, 31 July 2017, 11:14:08
Please yes! 

I'm the guy who asked this to zFrontier today, happy you started this IC soo fast.  It is good because: 

I bet there could be also some modifications, for example a different color scheme for the Enter and the ESC, but also this base purple and white is perfect and many people are looking for it. 

Suggestions: 

For who is not sure about this set, just look at these pics:

I asked the same question to them and they answered the same thing time ago. 
However zFrontier will run the GB if the IC is succesfull and in this case jtk will do it.

if this IC goes thru, we are likely to get JTK to manufacture the PoW!

Where is the IC listed? Is Zfrontier going to be the one running this GB?
Title: Re: [IC] JTK Purple on White

zF should be the runner, yes

No issues with zfrontier. Bought 4 sets from them without issue and they seem to have a good relationship with all manufacturers.

For that base price I'm 100% in.  I don't mind the legend issues when paying with peanuts.

hard to be missed :thumb:

For this GB yeah no extra mods, i seriously hope that if this GB goes well, another GB only for extra modifiers will happen.  At least this is what i will try to do/ask.  For now is confirmed there will not be extra modifiers during this GB. 

Oh and btw the GB started: mod edit: no direct GB links in IC
Soon OP will close this post and someone that can do it (for gh rules) will start the GB post :)

By extra mods you mean the purple on white correct?

Not the white on purple mods intended for non standard layouts.

Amazing. Just amazing.

Thank you for bringing us this group buy! So tempted to get 2 sets, just because of the price. I'll have some thinking to do later.

Yes, for extra mods i mean the purple on white modifiers, that with the base set could make the keycaps all white with purple legends, but for now no planned GB for these, for now just this base set with PoW on alphas and WoP on modifiers.

how close will the color match the original pow?

the two (i assume) renders on the matte purple keyboard on the group buy page look so different from the the last picture of what i think is the prior production set.

i really love the original colorway. zfrontier keeps finding ways to get my money :)

I'm pretty sure that the colors will be the same or the first round of PoW, probably OP will confirm this later. 

If you mean the pics that are in the trays, i think they are at really low light.
