So I guess I'll expand a little bit for KAM Jade.

I've always wanted to run a set that utilizes the shininess of KAM (now possible to do KAT as shiny, but at the time it was not an option) and I was watching Huang's World. Then it hit me. Eddie Huang wears a jade necklace where the jade piece is a poop (just watch an episode) and the shine of jade matched what the shininess of KAM was capable of.

I'm also posting this from Taiwan, where I'm currently on vacation, and I had the opportunity to visit the National Palace Museum. There, I had a chance to view countless pieces of jade as well as the famous jade cabbage. Yes, a piece of jade that resembles cabbage (google it).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, but I personally will probably not be able to respond till I get home from my trip in a few days.

[zakatak]

i guess its different enough to KAT Lucky Jade

[stoffelduss]

It's possible to do KAT in shiny?

Personally I'm much more interested in KAT Lucky Jade, and I hope it comes to GB before this.

[meatsmoothies]

super excited for this! love uniform profile and the color y'all picked for this set, can we hope for cabbage novelty?

Something something nobody owns colors something something


It's an entirely different profile

The modified tooling for shiny KAT profile keysets is supposedly coming "SOON". Should open up a lot of cool options.

And Lucky Jade is great! We felt like this served a different group of people in the market (those who prefer uniform profile) and hits on a different aesthetic than Hisui's set Can't speak to our and Hisui's timelines though, especially since this is still pretty early on in its development.

You bet your sweet, sweet cabbages you can.

Well I'm not exactly uninterested in uniform profile sets with a homing keys kit. But I personally just prefer text mods, and I don't like this sort of mod kit arrangement which is frustratingly expensive for the type of keyboards I have (HHKB style: Need base mods for just tab, esc and enter. 65% whitefox style: Need exotic mods just for 1.75u shift, 1.5u backspace and maybe 1u fn.)

[stoffelduss]

oh yeah the base mods are missing tab, and the exotic mods have an extra 2.75u key that might have been unintentional as well since I can't think of a use.

I am a small brain and forgot the tab key in the base kit 
I'll get that fixed lol

Yea but You probably don’t understand how long it took me to arrive at the point im at right now, and you’re here showing the exact same thing... BIG YIKES

[nasp]

What is this in reference to?

This is in reference to Enjoy's frustrating comments over how SA Leviathan looked similar to his set GMK Wavez. Enjoy's comment was: "I mean not really, you can’t say you worked on this set while you didnt even check the first’reddit’page of IC. This is probably the worst way to justify your IC, and the worst to appologize doing such a poor job before working for « the set ». The more you talk, the more Im mad.

You probably don’t understand how long it took me to arrive at the point im at right now, and you’re here showing the exact same thing... BIG YIKES buddy."

Here is the full discussion on the topic.

Pretty much has nothing to do with this keyset discussion though, not too sure why he quoted that.

Can you explain more how you came to decide to support this non-profit (it does not appear to be a charity, but a non-profit, which is fine)?  Details on what they do with their money seems thin, I can't tell if it is just an awareness organization (similar to Save Darfur which didn't do anything to directly help people affected by the genocide, and just made people "aware" of the crisis) or if they are doing anything more than that like help pay for treatments or vaccine clinics, etc. and since it isn't a 501c3 (from what I can find) details on how they spend money does not appear to be public, and their website is lacking on details.  It sounds like they have a good goal, and it is tied to Stanford so it does seem like a good organization, I just would like to know what this donation is actually going to do, and why you chose it.

[Pluto19]

Extra minus in Numpad, ISO, and Homing kit.

Also, what's with the deal with the differences between the two alpha kits' alignment? What was the idea in decision making for the grave and the pipe keys staying centered?

[Helpingly]

Love the color, indifferent about the profile.

Guess I found my first KAM set.

JoinJade, previously known as Jade Ribbon Campaign, is a non-profit that I have worked with in the past and are affiliated with Stanford. Although I am not a resident of California (where they are based), I know they have done outreach events in the past to bring awareness to hep B.

Please let me know if you have any issues (we talked briefly about this over in the Top Clack discord).

OCM's brain was a little smooth that day.

We are working to make changes and updates to the kits but they may take longer as it is closer to the holiday season.

If anyone has any more suggestion on kitting, please let me know.

Addressing the KAT Lucky Jade vs KAM Jade (they're the same!) thing that we already knew would happen:
Rensuya (Hisui's SO) and I spitball ideas off each other every so often and KAM Jade was actually one that was spitballed to him. He let me know that Hisui was working on KAT Lucky Jade and (yes, I know, Rensuya does not speak on behalf of Hisui) he gave us his blessing on the basis of 1) different profile 2) different source of inspiration (Jade the name vs jade the object).

Have you asked him what he thinks about both sets having chinese guardian lion keys flanking the spacebar? lol

I didn't realize that Lucky Jade had lions, I'll double check with Hisui to see if that's okay.

[MarbleKeeb]

Oh nice keycaps set  It would fit really well with one of my green marble wrist rest (or maybe case one day)

Couple of lions made of Jades are quite common in Chinese culture. And I don't say that because I have a set on my desk right now.. 

[GEIST]

So simple and beautiful. Definitely in.

[DrHigsby]

Hey hoodrow, see you still going to run this project? Even though you’re also running Jadeite?

[BapoDonu]

Love the set  but the novelties got my ocd triggered. )

[NICOTINE]

Hey hoodrow, see you still going to run this project? Even though you’re also running Jadeite?

Another beautiful set Hoodrow, very interested but I also had a question regarding SA Jadeite. Are you still going forward with that set? Loved that as well and both are definitely on my watched list!

[vaf1en]

I would be interested in this, more so than the (newer) IC for the cabbage edition.

[Anthixious]

Oh hey it's another green keycap set 

Oh hey look! Thrillson is apart of this! 

*Anthixious is now watching*

[ryukomatoi]

Not really into colors but this one sticks out nicely. Interested.
