New international sets!!! GB live.
Vendors:
US: Kono (https://kono.store/products/kat-specimen)
EU: MyKeyboard (https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/category/group-buys/kat-specimen_246/)
AU: DailyClack (https://dailyclack.com/products/kat-specimen)
ASIA: zFrontier (https://en.zfrontier.com/products/kat-specimen) (Chinese site (https://www.zfrontier.com/m/5725))
UA, BLR, RU: FunKeys (https://groupbuy.funkeys.com.ua/kat_specimen)
Changes to sets are now only possible as long as only the color, row or legends of a key change, the unit count must stay the same!
For color accuracy refer to renders, not the kits, they use slightly wrong colors
What is KAT?
In the words of the zFrontier website:
a brand new collection of high profile molds from Keyreative. Nineteen months of intense research, machining, and testing resulted in this delectably thick (1.658mm) sculpted design. Some inspiration also came from cats, as their claws provide an appealing slope to model keycap curves on.
Unlike SA, which can seem pointy and disproportionately tall on modern keyboards, KAT is smooth. Silky smooth. Superlatively smooth. Kat's concave keycaps don't stab or inhibit your fingertips during row jumps, nor do they have the gritty texture that one typically associates with PBT plastic. The characteristic dryness of PBT is present, but your fingertips won't be ground into submission by the substrate.
Some keycap sets make generic nods to sound quality, but premium audio design was a serious consideration in KAT profile. The interior walls of its keycaps are angled such that sound is reflected in a precise pattern. That should, when coupled with high wall thickness, provide sharp clicks and muted clacks.
Finally, KAT keycap tops have the same dimensions across each row. That's a vast visual improvement, but it also has a positive impact on muscle memory while touch typing.

The classic Koyu by Rama.

Kotai from the super helpful Stewiedk97.

Another classic - the Iron165.

Prototype model of the Pneuma by Stewiedk97 (still WIP).
All renders made by me.
Why KAT?
A flat profile just doesn't feel right for this set I think, so the decision was down to manufacturers who can
do either doubleshot or reverse dye-sub. Frankly, I think a lot of us are tired of SA and GMK, and since
trying out new, innovative things is always awesome, KAT felt like a natural choice (plus: KAT -> cat, and cats are awesome).
Why specimen?
The name came to me out of pretty much nowhere, and it just stuck. This set feels pretty hard to name anyhow, so I'm happy I have one.
What kits are there?
Glad you asked:
[attachimg=8]
The most basic of base kits. Should support pretty much all 60% to TKL keyboards and also HHKB style layouts. Two large spacebars are included so you don't need to buy a spacebar kit for certain layouts anymore. Some common 65% layouts are also supported.
[attachimg=18]
Lots and lots of extras, good 40% keyboard support should be included as well.
[attachimg=9]
Full ortho support, hopefully a lot of different layouts are in here!
[attachimg=10]
Vim movement keys along with some rather arbitrarily placed novelties.
[attachimg=11]
A small and simple addon for people wishing to use a (UK) ISO layout.
[attachimg=12]
A good splash of color for people wanting to spice up their TKL right hand side. Along with the classic numpad.
[attachimg=13]
Just some blanks to cover some normal layouts, Colevrak, etc. keys aren't supported, so this is also for you if that's ok :(.
[attachimg=14]
Northern layouts, many thanks to eskimojo of KAT Lich for the necessary keys
[attachimg=15]
Southern layouts, Italy isn't 100% supported through sheer stupidity on my part (you'll need extras or deal with one wrong legend on the top left).
[attachimg=16]
Hopefully everything a classic French layout needs.
[attachimg=17]
For smaller, split spacebars.
The Pantone colors
Purple/Blue: 2371U (previously Dark Blue U)
Pink: 226 U (previously Rubine Red)
Orange: 123 U (previously 2013 U)
Teal: 331 U
EDIT: Okay first question, someone pls, what the **** went wrong with color/numpad two images?
EDIT1: I thinks it's alright now. Lesson 1: Don't be a GH noob.
UPDATE 04/01/2019: Ergodox kit removed due to Keyreative's lack of 1.5u upright molds required for the ErgoDox. :(
UPDATE 02/26/2019 (Adding this the day after): Major update with new colors per Pantone Uncoated and kit updates.
UPDATE 03/26/2019: Updated kits:
- HHKB in base
- updated to full ortho
- removed redundant keys from extras (mainly R5, not too much?)
- added 40% support to extras
- added split spacebar ("other sizes") kit
- added vim-keys in "extensions" kit
- updated google poll
EDIT 03/26/2019: Fixing stuff in post and moving things around...
UPDATE 03/29/2019:
- removed from extras: R5 PG UP and DOWN, R1 /?, R1 1u SYS, R1 DEL, R2 1.25 ESC, R2 1.5u FN, stepped CTRL, R3 TABs, R3 1.5u DEL, R4 DEL and probably a few more
- added to extras: R1 1u purple UFO, teal RAY and SPEC, R5 symbol DEL, R2 1.5u ENTER
- added blanks base kit
- added 4 1u keys to numpad kit for split 0 and +
- added lowecase h to ortholinear kit alluding to the planck constant
EDIT 03/30/2019:
I quite simply forgot to add the blanks yesterday, also updated extensions description with UFO and cow novelty suggestions.
UPDATE 04/22/2019:
- added first makeshift render
- added R1 1.75u to blank kit
- removed mentions of the old kit
- added update from Keyreative
UPDATE 06/24/2019:
- Added new render and progress update
UPDATE 07/02/2019:
- removed some unnecessary text from the post
- added 4 new novelties to extensions kit
- added one 1u up arrow key into color kit
- added purple alien novelty into base kit
- removed aliens from extras and added one more R1 purple 1u key
Banner thing, you know better than me how it works:

Thanks for pointing these issues out. I will add the keys:
1.5 u delete and 1u tilde.

Nice work so far. Wish there is a center gradient kit for tkl and ortho kits. MT3 would be nice. Otherwise, good luck and hope this can be a reality. :thumb:
-
Personally I would go with blank ortho mods that don't make assumptions about what keymap one's using, like the ergo mods.

Thanks a lot for your kind words, they do mean a lot. By center gradient, do you mean a longer one? I guess that could work on ortho, but with TKL the spacebar would be in the way. I talked to Matt3o about MT3, but they can't do reverse dye sub/ doubleshot just yet, which is a problem with the pink on purple part.

If enough people prefer that, it would certainly be a way to go.

interested, especially since i want to try KAT profile
-
Please get samples of all the colors and the reverse dye subbing. I think every one here is OK with waiting a few more weeks for an improved product in the end.
-
I can dig it. I like the contrasting colors. Will there be support for 40% layouts like minivan?
-
Very interested in this. Yes please think of more novelties. Those really determine if I buy or not. It's always fun. Milkshake did awesome one that.

Space bar kit? Split space bars?

I think im missing something for 65% keyboards, maybe is the non standard right shift

All fine now I think. Maybe you should check some Keyset´s IC form other designers, so you can see if you are missing something for the kits.
Do you know how much will cost the base kit more or less? There are few caps, so maybe the price can be around KAT Alpha?
-
I don't like the colourway so won't be joining if this gets to GB phase, though really appreciate you going for KAT profile - I've got KAT Alpha coming in this weekend and can't wait to try since both Huey & Quakemz gave it high praises. Best of luck :thumb:
-
Very interested! There should be more KAT sets! I'd scoop any KAT set that feels as good as KAT Alpha's!
-
Love this set so much. :thumb:
-
Would be nice if this will also come in blank. KAT feels good, sounds good and looks good.
-
That ortho set is perfect for a planck I have! Will join.

Is this still advancing?
-
How about a "Specimono" add-on kit that provides black-on-teal replacements for the purple, red, and orange keys?
-
The ortho kit seems to have an escape key in place of caps lock. Adding either caps lock or ctrl/cmd key options for that cap would be nice. This is definitely an interesting set
-
The " key has the legends inverted on both the base and ortho kits, btw.
-
Could use a 1.5U DEL and ESC for top row for Vortex Race 3.
-
Spacebar Kit needs a 2.75 to cover the most common split space bar layouts.
-
Would like to see a dedicated HHKB set.
-
Set needs a purple R2 1.75 control key. Why bother with the 1.5 delete if you aren't going to actually cover the HHKBs?
-
I Think both a R3 1.75u "Enter" and a 1.25u "Tab" key is pretty standard for a 40% compatibility set.

Not sure about blank, will have a think about it tho!I Think both a R3 1.75u "Enter" and a 1.25u "Tab" key is pretty standard for a 40% compatibility set.
Note taken, thanks a lot.

Probably just an oversight on my part, it's added now.

Not sure how that would look like, I'll see if I can sneak HHKB compatibility into the base set.

I do very much want to press on with the project, I just wanted to work on perfecting some changes
instead of spewing out new stuff, first impressions and that.
Right, I think a small update is due for all you good people:
I am working on finalizing the Pantone colors for the set. Expect some changes -
all together a tad bit more pastely due to Pantone Uncoated colors being better for the Keyreative process
and brighter with black on purple instead of pink on purple. I'll update the post in the coming days when I'm ready.
Regarding kits, I'm thinking 4 sets:
- Base (similar to KAT Alpha, w/o numpad)
- Extras (similar to KAT Alpha)
- Colors kit + Numpad
- 40s (not sure if full or just extras to go with base)
Currently, I kinda have spacebars integrated into the base kit, do you guys think that's a good idea or should I add it to a separate set?

That's quite some support <3. I just added a question about blanks to the google poll, but noone really uses it sadly, it's
therefore hard for me to judge if there are other people out there interested in blanks :(. Do you want base kit blanks or
ortho blanks? Or just everything?

I meant blank base kit as I'm not into ortho. You should add an option for blank base set in the poll, then see if people'd show interests. Blank KAT profile keycaps would be supreme. Write history by producing world's first blank KAT profile keycaps set ;)

The ortho kit has everything I need. Personally however I don't use the default Planck layout & prefer blank mods myself like LuiKang, however I appreciate the artistic touch your raise/lower legends have. Blank or legends, either is fine with me. Gonna do that poll now...

I'm thinking how I should integrate blanks as a kit. It should be easier than with legends, but I'm not sure if one kit is enough. I'll see what I can come up with. What kinda kit would you prefer?

Thanks for the kind words on the legends. Do you want normal alphas with blank mods? In that case I better split a blank kit into base and mods, but if not, one large kit might be enough.

If you'd do a blank set like the EnjoyPBT set in the link below, but without numpad, then you'd cover the majority of the layouts as seen on custom boards. From there you can add extras (like ortho extras, numpad, novelties with cool symbols, etc.). Personally I'm mostly interested in covering all my hhkb layouts with blank KAT keycaps. But I'm OK if blank is not an option. As long as it's KAT.

If you'd take your current base kit, remove the extra columns beyond TKL, but include all rows. Make that blank, then you're done!
What's the minimum quantity?

Wow I'm an idiot. I literally just forgot to add the blanks yesterday evening... About the MOQ, I haven't gotten word from Keyreative yet but I think it should be at least like 50, which already
might be difficult for blanks. I'll add the kit in a sec, sorry for the confusion.

You are missing a 1.75u Shift in the blank base kit.
MOQ of 50 could be doable.

No, there isn't any price estimate or MOQ because Keyreative are a bit slow nowadays and have large orders, so
zFontier couldn't tell me anything just yet.
KAT Alpha (all white) was $100 USD, I think it's safe to say a colored, custom set will cost a bit more ($110USD?). I don't know.

I guess I can add a kit - but that probably wouldn't reach an MOQ, so it would likely be better for it to be on the base blank kit. I'm just not sure what kind of a price increase that would be.
If there's enough interest, sure, of course!

The project is moving once again, I made a new render and more serious info like MOQ should be coming soon!
Feedback on the sets is also really important as I'd like to finalize them ASAP :D

I wish there would have been more time to work on these changes instead of having the GB date be so close, I feel like there wasn't a lot of updates for a while, then bam out of no where comes this GB date that starts in 10 days. Seems super sudden to me. There's so much potential with support in KAT sets since it's all Dye Sub, I feel like more kits could be added, there's potential for them to be added before the GB but you'd be cutting the wire really close. GL with this set, I really like it, just wish there was more kits for it.

Completely understand the feedback - I agree with you. The GB date was actually agreed upon some time ago. I basically only spent my little time working on the set with doing renders, that was a mistake. I was a bit out of loop with other GBs going on as well. The feedback I got from Geekhack was all from some time ago, when people didn't really realize the versatility of KAT and therefore didn't give such a strong feedback in relation to more sets, which came a tad late for me. I obviously have a lot to learn in organizing myself (rarely really had the time to focus on this due to academics) and the GB. The new sets should hopefully be officially added later this week - I sent them off couple of days ago - when I get the new, revised quotes for new kits including full international support (North, South, French, UK Iso) plus updates to most of the current kits...
Nonetheless, I am not trying to make excuses and am kicking myself for making the process so confusing for everyone waiting for the set, to all of whom I am really thankful for for the amazing support. As a plus, the GB will be running for over a month (currently planned till around Feb 23).

Kits were updated a final time, with new support for international layouts and a few slight updates to most kits.

Any renders with TKL boards available? Especially one with the colors & numpad kit would be interesting.

Sorry, I couldn't find any models for TKLs yet. Any suggestions on whom I could ask?

Kits were updated a final time, with new support for international layouts and a few slight updates to most kits.
Thank you ! I love the color scheme for this set so I was already really likely going to pick this up, but the inclusion of International kits makes this an instabuy from me (French layout in particular, ngl :p) !
This is great ! ;D

@QQMBR The 1.25u on R2 (the Tab key as shown in the Lynx L50 render) is left out in the final sets. Is this on purpose? That's very unfortunated.

It hasen't been there for quite a few versions. Apparently no one (including obviously me) noticed that it went missing for some reason. All I can say is I'm sorry...
The only solution would be to change the extras so that it has the R2 1.25 Tab... but then some people don't get the keys they want. In the meantime, I'll remove the Lynx renders from the page.
Realistically... It 95% won't be there. Why I removed it I can't tell you.

This is awesome. Pre-ordered!

The idea of covering the Lynx with KAT was nice. Congrats with the GB btw! I ordered mine.

Picked up base + numpad&colors. :D

So do we have 6.25U spacebar or not? Seems none of the kits have 6.25U

6.25u is in base, it's just not marked.

Awesome! Will be in soon

Just jumped in. When is the expected fulfillment date as of now?

Word from zFrontier is ETA 4 months after the GB ends. So late June early July.

The set could use a 1.25 R3 tab and the extras kit would cover most 40% boards, also would be great for at least one of the novelties to be a 1.25 in purple.

Hi,
This keycaps set looks awesome!
Can we get also a Mac layout option (cmd)? Or at least opposite colors for Alt and sys keys, so if I switch position between left Alt and left Sys it will still match the color in the diagonal?
Cheers!

How long does the GB run for?

Heya there! Not super related to the keycap set, but if at all possible, I think a deskmat would make this look incredibly nice. Any thought about trying that out as well? Sorry if someone else suggested this. This set is just gorgeous and I want to build a whole setup around it.

Thanks for the kind words. Deskmat definitely isn't coming with this GB, if anything, then later, but after talking to some vendors we didn't find it viable, although I wanted to do one at the start.

Can you suggest a concrete change? I don't want to make a color change that is bad for a large majority of users...
