Curious how this will fulfill so soon, is this just a preorder for a run of keys that were ordered a year or two ago?

Because it's not actually a GB. JTK is already listing it as "in-stock" on IG.

Hawkenfreude is correct. Also, the GB last 3 days because this is expected to be out of stock very soon.

In fact, it's the 9th of March to the 12th of March. It's just a different timing system.

I forgot there were other parts of the world that do things differently. Thanks for the clarification. GLWGB

This set was already going to be in stock from JTK, as indicated in replies prior to yours. This is a group buy because it will likely be cheaper to buy here than buying it from JTK direct or some overseas vendor.

It's the last day everyone!

VXQN · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 13 March 2023, 06:55:25 »

Honestly this whole thing felt kinda shifty? Why no warning before the sale started? It was "in stock" but represented as a group buy. I asked a question in the Discord server but was ignored. I was going to purchase at the weekend but all of these points put me off.

SwitchKeys · « **Reply #17 on:** Mon, 13 March 2023, 17:23:33 »

If you missed it here SK will be holding an in stock sale next month. Limited quantities of this (As well as WOB Red Cyrillic) but no region lock.

tngpq · « **Reply #18 on:** Tue, 14 March 2023, 01:17:54 »

JTK should figure out their distribution better. This set is available on their taobao store for sub $100 in-stock, right now.

The US Vendor was IconLabs, but it's already passed. I don't know why people are surprised about the Taobao listing. These keycaps are already produced and sold in the Chinese market. We are essentially paying for a vendor to proxy them, right? If you can get a proxy to buy them for you from Taobao and ship them for cheaper, you should do that. Otherwise, it's more convenient to buy from a vendor. Also, possibly easier to deal with issues if something is wrong with your keycap set. This is similar to what they did with the Tiawen set.

Update: The JTK Emerald sets are reaching our warehouse in less than 7 days. Fulfillment begins shortly afterwards. So stay cool

IconlabsOfficial · « **Reply #23 on:** Wed, 16 August 2023, 04:50:43 »

So we do have a new back-order event for JTK Emerald with updated price here.

Can I buy spacebar kit by itself?

skwrl · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 29 August 2024, 00:41:37 »

Did the spacebars ever happen for this GB?
I see a spacebar kit on switchkeys https://www.switchkeys.com.au/products/jtk-emerald?srsltid=AfmBOorvSyVvOimkuQMiDlLpSDrjVnoIui_G9QVQeXeJ3oW0ktv4fO7u&variant=44905313075493 but I don't know if that's legit or not since I literally don't see it anywhere else.
Anyone?

(also sorry for digging this thread back up)

IconlabsOfficial · « **Reply #26 on:** Thu, 29 August 2024, 01:55:51 »

Yes of course. We had it included

skwrl · « **Reply #27 on:** Thu, 29 August 2024, 11:55:26 »

Sorry, I don't mean to be dense, but do you mean it was included in the base kit not pictured above or it was included in the GB as a child kit that could be purchased separately? (the extra spacebars like 2u, 2.75, etc)

SwitchKeys · « **Reply #28 on:** Thu, 29 August 2024, 16:44:28 »

Bars were a standalone kit
