Title: [GB] JTK Aqua Shipping Soon.
Post by: zF_ScrambledEggz on Wed, 03 January 2018, 23:05:17
Sorry for the lack of updates, but here are some pics of the keycaps sitting in the tray.

Shipping very soon!

Hi, here's an update coming from JTK and our designer Vendorzhao.

First of all, the shipping date will be delayed to late MAY, for:

1. the factory has just recovered from CNY holidays, and the production is a bit backlogged.
2. JTK will be fixing the legends, and this might take some time
3. the color samples arrived and looking good, but some small adjustment are needed

Current color samples:
[attachimg=9]
The designer thinks the White and Teal is looking good! However, he wants the aqua(tiffany blue) to be a bit more vibrant.

Also, JTK has come across some problem when doing the emoji novelties:
[attachimg=10]
The drawings are to thin for a doubleshot. And making the lines thicker will destroy the cuteness of the emojis.

Therefore, Zhao submitted 4 new novelties:
[attach=11][attach=12][attach=13][attach=14]

2 out of these 4 emojis will replace those 2 that cannot be manufactured.

How does ZF value packages when shipping to Europe - full price or undervalued?

Also, no "Shift" on the 1.75u shift looks really weird

Dumb question, would getting 2 sets of this qualify for FREE shipping since 2 sets will exceed $100?

As long as the total order value is over $100 on zFrontier then you should receive free shipping.

If you are buying two sets in a single order, the total will exceed 100USD and you will get free shipping for this order ;) But if you place them separately, both of them will be charged for shipping.

This set is so tempting, I might end up joining the GB if I get the job I'm bidding tomorrow! I still have yet to try a JTK set out (although I do have a JTK Toxic set ordered at Oco for whenever they finally get theirs) but they seem to be getting closer & closer to GMK quality at a much better price from all I've seen & heard about them!

I usually see the extras available after the original GB run has shipped, at a slightly higher cost.

Any follow-up on fixing of legends? I know some other JTK GBs are being considered, depending on the legends.

I've seen pictures. They're improved, but still working. Some progress to be made, but definitely better. I wasn't given a lead time.

I've been politely asked not to share any more than that.

When I can share more, I will. It's a vast improvement even in the first iteration.

Any update on delivery timeline since extra time being taken to fix legends?

I know it has been said that pictures will be shown of new/improved legends when they are approved for release, but is there an idea of when that will happen?

We have finished most of fixed keys, there are some rest keys will be finished in this week soon. We will update those fixed keys together in once time.
Simultaneously other keys which are not involved  are in producind now.
Sorry for the delay, we are trying our best to make Aqua as better as possible.

Thank you for this first photo showing improvements. Is it possible to get a clearer (higher resolution/better focus) picture with the keycaps mounted or aligned in straight grid/lines so it is easier to judge legends placement in relation to each other?
