[IC] Keykobo Tidal (Kitting and verifying vendors)

[Mcnos]

Tidal[/is outdated but the general gist is still there]
Everyone knows of my admiration towards blue so here's to that.

I really liked SA Vilebloom, just not the SA part of it all so I figured to run my rendition of a "gradient set"

There is no theme for this set, I just like blue.

This started off as a GMK set but I have since moved it over onto to Keykobo










With the addition of a mono-kit you can achieve the bottom here.

Looks nice! Gradient looks a little off because of the different vibrancy of the blues tho

Personally, GMK has an extreme backlog that i don't think it's viable to make another GMK set right now.

Any chance you'd consider having an alpha set all this color with the cream mods?

It isn't meant to be a linear gradient of that sort.

Perhaps if I run with something along the lines of KAT where kitting would be more flexible.

[Tom_Kazansky]

"cool" color, bro! 

I think I will wait for KAT ver because it might be possible to have 2 numpad kit: one for regular board and one for "southpaw" board  )

BSP hasn't made cherry profile PBT caps in years (at least since 2017+- a year) and hammer jumped the gun on that GB

basically they had to make their own molds to be able to run the sets

Let's stop speculating and being lazy.

Here's an overview of what happened.

About the Hammer "BSP" Round 4 Group-Buy:
Also called CRP R1.

GB thread on Geekhack, GB run on Massdrop.com and in China (Taobao).

1. BSP group buy opened in April of 2018. About $170 per set and a bit for child kits. Plus tax, and shipping.
2. Around October 2018, Hammer and Massdrop announced that BSP basically told them to **** off with BSP blanks. The way it worked was that Hammer would order BSP blank sets and Hammer would take them to dye-sublimate legends on them. That's how all "BSP __" sets were made.
3. Massdrop offered an option for people to either (A) drop from the buy and get a refund, (B) opt back into the buy and proceed with it, because Hammer expected to have a solution. (At this point a lot of people dropped)
4. Hammer offered a solution: they would create a whole brand-new, original production of Cherry profile keycaps and dye-sublimate themselves. In other words, they would own the full production line. This new line was called CRP - Classic Reissue Profile.
5. People who opted back in did so by November 5, 2018, and the buy continued. Hammer announced that those who did would get TWO sets per set ordered. Predetermined by the name of the set they ordered. These were:

BSP Tulip OG -> CRP Tulip OG + CRP Hebrew Green
BSP Tulip GK -> CRP Tulip GK + CRP Hebrew Blue
BSP Arabic -> CRP Arabic + CRP Cyrillic ( Moscow Night )
BSP APL -> CRP APL + CRP JIPink ( Sakura Rain )

6. People received their sets later, like around January 2019.
7. (Mass)Drop sold extras sometime later in October 2019. End of Hammer BSP Round 4 aka CRP R1.

Yeah I love that color, but I think I would prefer all keys that blue/gray color, with just white accents, just like that picture essentially. Maybe something to consider for a future set.

Personally I'd be in for the colours of a would be mono set, although I think either gradient or mono will look great in the end. Great colourway either way.

I can only assume this set will cost a lot if it is run through GMK, considering the complexity of unique colors in the base set.

Love this in Cherry. I'd be interested in any Cherry profile (GMK for ABS, and Infinikey most likely for PBT).

KAM/KAT would see me skip this set, unfortunately. I personally am not a fan of the glossiness; I have KAM Starry Night, and barely lasted a day with it on my board (though that particular set haunts me for a number of reasons, the texture was the deciding factor).

If PBT is still desired in a non-Cherry profile, XDA may be a good option.

I have a cream Leopold FC750 and this would literally look like the beach on my board.

KAT isn't glossy though in the least.

Also ePBT isn't accepting any reverse dye sub at the moment as far as I'm concerned. This set is leaning towards GMK anyhow

[Zeelobby]

Yeah. Neither KAM nor KAT has to be glossy. Pretty sure it was choice made for that set. KAM Wraith is not going to be glossy and almost all other KAT sets aren't planned to be either.

Infinikey knows how to make reverse dye-sub legend.
Sa, Kat and Mt3 are high profile.
Gmk is high cost.
Infinikey has a reasonable price and supports various layouts.
I saw Infinikey Sanctuary Rebirth recently, and It looked really great.

[robotictomato]

The kits look very good. I'm glad you decided to go with Infinikey as well!

[konstantin]

Please review the kits and let me know of any suggestions you may have, some stuff may have slipped past my eyes but I've scanned it over a several times to fulfill most layouts.

Oh, and we are rolling with Infinikey - I'm sure a lot of people can appreciate the cost factor as well as the cherry profile.

Kits look good for the most part! I would suggest changing R4 1.25u Menu to Fn, though, since there's no 1.25u Fn key anywhere in the set right now — a key that's regularly seen used on 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL and other keyboards. If Menu is something that you really feel is worth including, it should be in the add-on kit, but it also may not be necessary at all. Either way, Fn is more important.

Other than that, there's a duplicate set of darker blue 1u Ctrl and Alt keys: one pair in the base kit and one pair in the add-on kit. I think the one in the base kit is superfluous, as 1u LCtrl and LAlt would only be useful for 40% boards, if I'm not mistaken.

Finally, it'd be cool to see a R3 1.75u Function key added to the add-on kit. Mac users may like a R3 1.75u Command as well.
(Edit: Looks like there's a 1.75u Function in the mono kit, but not in base 🤔)

I'd also maybe move numpad 00 to the add-on kit, not sure.

Ah yes, I see the duplicate ctrl/alt in the add-on kit. Thanks for pointing that out.

I'll be adding R3 1.75 Function to add-on

- I'll say the same thing I say of all Infinikey-run sets so far: swap R3 #~ in the base kit with the R3 \| key in the add-on kit, and both kits will be cleaner for it.

- You have same-colored F13 keys in both base and add-on kits (I'd keep only the one in the add-on kit).

- An R4 1.25U Fn key (independent of the Menu key) would be a nice addition in either kit.

- You could replace the R1 white Esc key in the mono kit with an R3 white Esc (so there will be R2 and R3 white Esc keys in there, as the white R1 Esc key is already in the base kit).

Replacing Menu for Fn and adding Menu to add-on

Great choice 🙌 And thanks for adding R3 1.75u Function, and having R3 \|, R4 <> ISO keys in base. This is looking up to be the best kitting we've seen in an Infinikey set thus far.

Just wondering, what's that darker blue ⭠ in the base kit for?

If you see something that spots your eye, be sure to let me know.

The UK R4 key should have a full pipe (\|), not a broken one (\¦). If you look at the ISO-UK layout, the broken pipe is located as a tertiary legend on the `¬ key, but since Tidal doesn't have sublegends, it's not necessary. Either way, the R4 key should be \|. This change applies to both the add-on and mono kits.

Are the regular F, J and num 5 keys barred or are they non-homing? I'm assuming they would be barred, but they aren't labeled as such in the kit image.

Since a white R1 Esc key is included in the base kit, I believe the one in the mono kit is unnecessary and can be removed. I think the same applies to the R2 and R3 white Esc keys, since they're included in the add-on kit.

Finally, consider adding white accent arrow keys, either to base or the add-on kit. You may want to move the accent Insert to add-on as well, since I'm not sure how many people would use that key (small layouts are more popular than ≥TKLs).

The dark left arrow key is for my personal agenda, I like to use arrows on the hhkb, sue me.

Since I've addressed it several times to different people in DMs, the white accents in the mono kit are a different legend color.

F, J and Num 5 keys are scooped / barred. Both will be included

I was going for the standard UK layout for (\¦) but it seems standard isn't the popular choice. I'll have it updated with (\|)

Ah, I thought that's what it might be, cool. Thanks for clarification on that and the other points.

[Mcnos]

I've had to revise the colors a bit from the RAL I picked out to Pantone,

The colors have varied a bit but the concept stays the same.

Obvious disclaimer - colors will not be accurate to what shows on photo

Colors are more matte and a shade darker in person.



Also kits will be for the most part finalized unless I spot an issue.






More renders will come in time

Any way to get the Mac keys align with the gradient?

Any way to get the Mac keys align with the gradient?

Ah yes,

I seem to have forgotten that. What's the most common/popular Mac layout look like?

[konstantin]

Any way to get the Mac keys align with the gradient?

Good catch! Gotta say, you do a better job than most customer support people

I seem to have forgotten that. What's the most common/popular Mac layout look like?

The most common Mac layouts are:

• 1.25u Ctrl – 1.25u Option – 1.25u Cmd – 6.25u Space – 1.25u Cmd – 1.25u Option – 1.25u Fn – 1.25u Ctrl
• In this case, one 1.25u Option and one 1.25u Cmd would need to be the second-to-darkest blue (same color as 1.25u Code, 1.25u Alt in base); the other two stay the lightest color.

• (1.5u Control) – 1u Opt – 1.5u Command – 7u Space – 1.5u Command – 1u Opt – (1.5u Control/Function)
• In this case, one 1u Opt and one 1.5u Command would need to be the second-to-darkest blue (same color as 1u Code, 1.5u Alt in base); the other two stay the lightest color.

• 1.5u Option isn't commonly used afaik. It would be better to drop one of them and replace the other with a 1.5u Function in the lightest color.
• I think a light 1.5u Function is more useful than the dark 1.5u Function in general, not just for Mac, so it should be included either way.
• Another reason to drop the 1.5u Options is that there are already 1.5u Alts in the base kit, and the terms Option and Alt are interchangeable in the Mac world.

Edit: added colors for clarity

I'm going to leave the 1.5 Option for symmetry purposes, also there is a 1.5 function already in the kit, I had it in the wrong color after examination.

Looks good.

Presumably the right 1.25u Shift is for 40% boards? Consider also including a left (darkest) 1.75u Shift, also for 40s. See this reference image. The add-on kit currently includes everything except for that key.

Also, I'm not sure if the R2 2u Backspace is useful for anything (Minivan uses 1.75u). I think you can remove it.
Correction, R2 2u Backspace is used on TKC's new Candybar keyboard, so it should not be removed!

I'm here regarding Infinikey. Take a look at the link below (Zfrontier CN). It is folks' photo of the Infinikey green keysets run in April. It looks very bad quality for the price. Also, people in that post mentioned that Infinikeys was formed by a company called "Wuming" which seems have bad reputation within the community in China. I really love this keysets but I don't want this kind of quality. I normally just browse IC section without registering but in order to bring this up, I just registered an account and dropped this message here. But I don't know too much on keyboards/keysets yet probably you guys know much more. Would love to hear some thoughts/comments regarding Infinikey.

There are three really bad photos posted online. Quit fear-mongering. The truth is we don’t know anything about the quality of the græn set right now. This isn’t IFK’s first rodeo. If there are quality issues, I imagine the community will rally around having that addressed.

[hotnoodle666]

You didn’t ask a question. You made a statement, “ It looks very bad quality for the price.”

All we know about the quality is three really awful pictures posted online. Surely you are entitled to your opinion, but by registering an account JUST to post this make it seem like you are intentionally spreading some anxiety to the backers of this GB when we know virtually nothing.

It’s possible the set comes out poor. But making pointed statements on three low quality photos is specious at best.

Further, you are potentially compromising this IC with potential misinformation.

So to start with, I like this designer's work. I bought Kat Arctic and I would want to buy tidal. I have nothing against this GB, designer and folks who like this keyset. If these comments cause any anxiety or negative impact I am more than happy to take those off right now. I want this keyset but I have concerns on quality after reading that post and I wanted to hear some thoughts and feedback. I saw a post with bad photos and I also said people mentioned bad reputation of the company. I surely cannot go back months to build some reputation for this account an I laid out the facts that I just registered the account just to drop the comment.

Hi there,

To dispell your concerns over quality and color matching. I will receive a sample prior to production and GB so that will be the deciding factor. I would not judge a set based on one off photos.

The naming coupled with the concept you have is genius. I really like this concept. Personally, I would maybe intensify the contrast in colors just a hair, as I had to look really closely before realizing what was going on.

[Mcnos]

I'm in the process of moving and I have no clue where I put my camera, please accept the potato photos for now.

Colors are not finalized yet but I wanted to give this a bit of a bump

[Havattack]

I think some kind of neon blue legends instead of white would be SO much better.

[Titom11]

Samples look great!

[hotnoodle666]

It's probably just the light/pic quality but the colors seem way to similar, the left side just looks like it's got some shadows on it, not that there's actually a different color there. Just the same color, but slightly darker.. Like those cheap gradients on amazon.

It's a different color, I should mention that it is a gradient.

[kiwoli]

If you have chance for more photos, would love to see it on a white board.

Saturation on the 2377 sample looks a little low while the 2160 sample looks a little high, but could definitely just be lighting/camera settings. Still following this and would love a set.
