[IC] KAT Arctic (GB live!)

[Mcnos]

Hiya

Visit the group buy page here

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=106046.0


This is the KAT version of JTK Arctic, which I ran in 2018 and was finished sometime in 2019.

Backstory to why I'm doing KAT. Someone kept bugging me to rerun in SA so.. I decided to do KAT.



Take a look and provide any insight or suggestions in the IC for me to see.

Colors are not entirely up to par as of yet so take a look at the sub-par photos with a grain of salt.

I did my best to take the photos in different lighting settings

Thanks for the straightforwardness. I'm in

[marky]

Very interested.

[KingOfMemes]

Colevrak?

[Mcnos]

Colevrak?

Will be offered.

[Zeelobby]

Can we see blue alphas with white mods in a render?

(Ice blue Sakura wouldn't hurt!)

[Mcnos]

I’ll get that up  sometime soon once my GB finishes up for Fuyu

[_ODIN_]

Very interested (an international kit would be awesome).

[Vireca]

Maybe split 40s and ortho kits? Biip made it for Milkshake and its a great idea IMO. Just buy what you need

[Shurakai]

NE snowman ortho kit avail?

[Slayer77]

Since KAT doesn't have kit MOQs, can you do a small space kit with 6.25 and 7u in blue? Pretty please.

bless you, count me in. I'm currently in 100% of all KAT group buys, and this one won't be an exception

Those are included in the space bar kit though?

[Popopro]

Been excited since I heard this was going to be a thing. Definitely going to join!

Yup, but what I meant since there is no MOQ per kit, you can make a standard space set for people who just want to add another color to the board.

[YMwoo]

[Mcnos]

There will be a full kit of novelties
I actually wanted some ideas for novelties

[aspenc4]

Well done - the frost bite alphas with the mods look great. You've got me considering a blue set for the first time in recent memory.

I liked the snowflakes and penguin from JTK. Any chance there will be a RAMA, Salvun, or similar novelty?

[sourmk]

Any chance you might be thinking about some blank alphas and mods?

[YMwoo]

depend on the render of blue alpha and white mods, might be interested in white ergo too if possible.

as for novelties, the snowflake and the original animals are good enough imo

[eniigma]

it's finally happening

is this or ddolch happening first?

[Mcnos]

I was thinking of it, wanted to see how desired it is first

This will happen first until I can find out how I want to run ddolch if i'm running it at all

There will be more designs including the original ones. No plans for any artisan novelties

[vaf1en]

I am in for white alphas and mods.

[terrad]

Any possibility for blue mods?

This looks amazing! I would like to see icon'ed arrow keys though.

[Mcnos]

There will be icon mods, but I will also be adding icon arrows to the text mods

[hound]

Like it, but no Novelty Kit ?

[stoffelduss]

the first good colorway in KAT! sick! I'm definitely in hmm I like text only mods but I also like the GMK style where control, alt, delete, esc are text and only some things are icons, will that be offered or is the icons kit icons only? I'll take white alphas with colevrak-addon and grey text (maybe icons) mods

Its Text or Icon only. I want to keep things simple for right now

I'll have those added soon enough

[stoffelduss]

alright!

is the white color the same as KAT Alpha by the way?

[dmatx1]

Its Text or Icon only. I want to keep things simple for right now

Great colors, and please keep the text mods.

Both will be offered

[Shurakai]

Yeah I may make an addition for snowman ortho/40

That would be awesome. I love dark alpha/light mods.

[eas]

Will 40s and Ortho be separated?

[Mcnos]

Will 40s and Ortho be separated?

It's under consideration

[d00deitsnik]

Can I request split spacebars in other colors? 

[lookid]

I really like color scheme especially with dark alphas and mods.
Prob, it will be my 1irst KAT set.
I'm in.

And I would like to see same novelties as in original jtk arctic set, they're cute

[SilverJS]

Agreed on novelties.

I'm assuming the arrow keys will have to be text?  Symbols look nicer in my opinion, but certainly not a requirement.  But more importantly, could we have the arrows keys the blue accent color as per the original set?

[alphabirth]

KAT is dye-sub right?  My dream with an arctic set was always to get Inuktitut sublegends:


If you could make that happen, I'm 100% in!

[MeloDet]

Don't know if I would go for all of those sublegends, but some of them like the alphas at least would be doped.

[alphabirth]

Yeah, pretty much just the alphas was what I was thinking--maybe the green sublegends from the number row, but not the extra symbols.  That is too much for sure.

[Mcnos]

Same novelties will be included as well as a few more

I am including icon arrows in the text mods as well as text arrows

This national layout, and the Iberoamerican layout, should be perfect testbeds for the capabilities (and results) of KAT keycaps with multiple cornered legends (as opposed to one or two centered).

[Mcnos]

I don't plan to have any sub legends. I did that with Fuyu already so I'm quite done for it for now.
