[KappaKapps]

Help spread the word!


Please check out the inspiration for our design.

We will have a reward and unlock system.

Can you please elaborate on this? How is this gonna work?

The more keysets you buy, the more free stuff you get.
The more keysets that are bought in the group buy, the more free stuff everyone gets.
Free stuff being trays, artisan keycaps, esc keys, and blue mods. Exact details will be released with the GB.

As for the GB, we have gotten the OK from mods to run it.

Nice banner! Looks EXACTLY lke the SKIDATA+ one, even down to the message


Glad the team behind SKIDATA+ could be an inspiration. You know what they say, imitation plagiarsm is the sincerest form of flattery.

I guess it's too difficult for a couple of minors, one with a history of scamming and compulsive lying, to come up with their own design ideas.

What's this all about, another MiTo like transgression here?

I thought as older people here everyone would start behaving nicely towards one another and not start acting like schoolies in the play ground.

Unlike with MiTo, they didn't "quit" after offering some lame apology, then come back. KappaKapps was found to consist of a "team" of two people, one of whom is Pacifist. As you may remember, he got himself permanently banned from the site.

Wonder if they'd let ripster come back so long as he ran a GMK group buy?

Jdcarpe, while I admire your enthusiasm in our thread. Please stop posting claims that you have  no proof of. The team is larger than 2 people. Read the interview that you brought up earlier. Additionally, Wang has been let go and the mods have documents that prove my ownership of this account.

[LechnerDE]

I know the OP says final mockup, but it would be great if 2 extra ISO alphas were included in the base set.

Just like the alphas in Bunny's Hyperfuse set (1x R3, 1x R4)



Two 1unit keys wouldn't increase the overall costs much. Since the red modifier set includes ISO keys, the alphas should have them as well

Thanks JD for letting me know, didn't realize someone got banned from here now involving themselves with another Group Buy again. 

A shame really, thought this was going to be a legit with no problems type of GB........

He was banned for having multiple accounts and has no access to this GB via kappakapps. I'm a different person and that has been confirmed by the mods. This is a different situation than MiTo

[joey]

It'd be great if the mods that confirmed it, would also post something.

[livingspeedbump]

well, not here to cause vibes, will wait for someone else to do the GB. I'll remove myself from this IC for the time being then.

before I do, are these GMK?: http://www.originativeco.com/collections/keysets/products/cyrllic

Yes, but it should be mentioned that Originative lost their vendor status for failure to ship product. Some people have had better luck recently, but I thought I should mention it.

I recently had some interaction with Originative and I feel like they won't be having any more issues. He admitted that he was basically treating the "business" like a hobby, from what I could tell, and wasn't keeping up with thinks like a business owner would, but now has moved forward with it as a business, released his address and phone # to call/text, and has hired help. In situations like that I feel like second chances are worth giving. But my opinion is based on personal experience. My last order arrived very quickly from him.

[NorrisB]

Absolutely perfect set

[KappaKapps]

We plan to have a tray GB first then we will launch the Cyrillic and Red mods GB.

Trays come with a lid and will be able to hold a 104 keyset and more.

We will price trays at $7 USD each.

GB thread will be posted tomorrow.

The Cyrillics and Red mods will go through. In 2-3 weeks due to not enough interest.

[LechnerDE]

Is there really an interest for those trays after the shipping fiasco with GMK Triump Adler?

Unless they redesign the tray, I won't place an order.

For organizing the half dozen gmk sets I have they'll do the job. Won't be shipping anything in them though.

Most people don't ship keysets in trays/cases which is where the issue is, but for storage they will work great for sets that are different than the standard layout. For shipping and moving around the Leopold ones work better but they don't hold as many layouts or childkits in one tray.

Yep this is why I am interested in them

Much nicer to store them in a set where you can actually have a look at how a set looks and easily swap out keys from other sets to get an idea of how they look together rather than having to pull all the keys out of a baggie and organise them everytime you pull them out

I am not sure if the trays for the TA set were gmk's old trays,  but they have new ones.  Assuming these will be for the new trays.

It's totally legit, kappa.

Just throwing this out there but the EVA keycap boxes can be found on Taobao for a similar price. Might be another option?

That looks interesting ,but that seems to be more of a box rather than a case. That might be better for shipping keycaps, but in my opinion the GMK trays are better for storing keycaps.

I'd prefer these over the GMK boxes, if they are the same like the ones from the TA GB. I couldn't even cary the case around without flipping caps, and I am not even speaking of opening it up! But could be that mine was worn out or not closing/opening properly anymore.

[Blackehart]

Those trays are flimsy as f***

The only redeeming thing about them is the logo.
Even for storing, I would prefer something a tad more robust...

[nubbinator]

$7 is also more expensive than the nicer trays that EK sold.

Might want to rethink that:

As it's been said multiple times in this thread already, and in what you quoted, most people know by now that these are bad for shipping keycaps... On the other hand for storing large sets with child kits, ISO sets, and full GMK sets these will work nicely.

[JaccoW]

Potentially interested in some,of these trays for storage.

Is this thing dead before it even started or why wasn't there an update in over a month?

Why would you want a former scammer to run a GB anyway?

I don't. I was just curious 

I know the history behind Pacifist. Having said that I am still interested in the Cyrillic Alphas. Hopefully we can get done someday - maybe via Massdrop 

[nobodyknowsmyname]

I'm in for the alphas and red mods - whenever they are offered again.
