Will there be any extra pink & white sets left later?

I missed out on your hhkb drive, so I'd be happy to donate a pink set and a set of topre mx sliders to the cause of you fancy it

That would be amazing.

But I feel bad about taking anything more for free like this. I could at least paypal you $50 that I have with me, my wallet was thrown into my box of stuff somehow and I lost about $350, otherwise I would have just bought a set today.

When will the sliders be available to people outside of the GB?

[Fire Brand]

When will the sliders be available to people outside of the GB?

They have said in the past they will be available in the store once the orders are shipped, and will be a constant item if I recall correctly

[xqwtz]

Does anyone know?

Are the keycaps still being manufactured?

[Tym]

Does anyone know?

Yes, we were told ship date would be 2-3 weeks a couple of weeks ago, waiting on hearing from them now.

[WOMBO]

When's the expected ship date to us?

[Tym]

When's the expected ship date to us?

If you look at the post above yours.

[frostylove]

Maybe I won't get them until June.

[takonic]

Maybe I won't get them until June.

Having a similar feeling. Was hoping to get them shortly before or after my birthday in may.

[BunnyLake]

Maybe I won't get them until June.

I was told April but I'll update as soon as I know

[xqwtz]

Maybe I won't get them until June.

Wasn't the original estimate sometime in February?

Welcome to Geekhack!

Patience will serve you well with group buys.

BunnyLake will see you right eventually - but if you really can't wait and want your money back (which would be a shame) feel free to contact BunnyLake directly.

Feel so sorry for all you who have been waiting over 5 months with no solid ETA in sight

hey folks

the solid eta is very soon, im just waiting for a ship date

we made some sweeping changes before production started including fixing a huge amount of legends and also made drastic improvements to the bottom of all caps

production is in full swing and as soon as it is finished they just need to be factory sorted, as soon as the final keys are run off ill post full pics for everyone and at that time have a ship date

ive got test run pics of some of the changes on my desktop ill post shortly

Thank you for the update Mr BunnyLake.

I'd hate to think how many sets they are making and have to sort!

[pr0ximity]

Likewise, I just hope it ships out to all of us soon, patience is not a virtue I possess so when I decide to dive into a group buy I seem to torture myself

Looking forward to your next threadcrap.

Well put. My experience with the ctrl.alt team has been extremely pleasant. I am happy with the wait - as bunny now have updated, they are using this "waiting-period" to improve the product with our satisfaction in mind.   

Keep up the amazing work guys.

[Suembeaux]

Hype for this set. I'm excited to try JTK.

Will these caps bottom out on switches that are backwards (with the spots for LEDs pointing away)? On Storm trooper (my set at least) it won't bottom out unless the orientation of the switch is a certain way, and I'm wondering if that's something that's fixed with this new batch

I believe they mentioned that they're fixing that and that its part of the reason it's taking longer

I guess it must just be on certain sets, because my stormtrooper set fits perfectly on my backwards/led switches. Hopefully its fixed!

Keep up the amazing work guys.

The ONLY time I had to wait for more than a year people was an early key-set design which CTRL-ALT had decided to finish off from a former Geekhacker who disappeared.  Hence these guys stepped in to make it happen when it comes to completing an order you've paid for to another Person, CTRL-ALT is the one that sees you right and fixes any mistakes.

Remembered supporting a couple of other different members here on this website and have regretted for ever doing it,  because it destroys your confidence in people.  But BunnyLake and his crew actually stood up on their Group Buys, THEY NEVER run away for several months hoping no one would confront them about swiping away everyone's money and then show no progression of the GB.

Bunny is STILL the ONLY One I trust here on this Forum because his WORD actually means something.  Despite him looking after his family and has lots of other commitments he still makes sure everyone here is informed about what is happening.  I know that if any College or Uni is running a Group Buy course, they'll link to this website and show how CTRL-ALT is running things perfectly. as a Group Buy should.

Maybe I've just given Bunny the Jinx for supporting him here but when you do Great Work, you need to shout about it as many times as you can.

[trenzafeeds]

I am in the JTK QQ chat group, and it sounds like people in china are excited about the legend changes as well

Good stuff. I don't mind the wait or extension considering that Bunny and team are proactively correcting mistakes before the product gets to us. I'd much rather wait an extra few months than have faulty legends or keys.

Bunny always has communicated what is going on, and has a history of completing orders. I'm not worried.

that is 100% fixed

the bottom of the profile of every single cap was adjusted slightly to accommodate both rotated switches and larger LEDS

this will have no affect on the profile of the keys themselves, just the underside of the cap

If this is true for switches with larger LED's I may be picking up a couple more sets in the future. I love Cherry profile, but so many of my boards are backlit I can't use them on the ones I want to. Thanks for the info!

That's awesome! I'm glad you took the time to have that fixed, definitely worth the wait.

When you buy into any CTRL/ALT Group Buy, you get PERFECTION at every level  .

Kinda can't wait for my GirlyCaps.

My husband will never steal my keyboards now HA! (thus far he has stolen the Model M, Leopold 660c, and Matias QC v60 and that is just what I know about.... he has been eying my Infinity with Calm Depths to replace "his" Model M at home).

Wondering if anyone else has spousal leeching? I think it is interesting as it means that they don't argue too much when you buy a bunch of keycap sets.

[Khuya]

If you are talking about the pink set , I am waiting for my MD ergodox drop to come in, hook it up with pink led, and this set.  Can't wait.  (100% straight dude)

My girlfriend has a mild obsession with my 107-key Model F. Which is totally fine with me now that I have my beamspring :}

She has her Dell keyboard, which is the ONLY one she loves to use.  The mechanicals are too noisy for her plus she tried it a couple of times but can't beat her own 120wpm on the old Dell.

Key-cap sets only interest me but it's the ankle-biters whom seem attracted to them when they arrive at my house.  Some of them become extremely sticky fingered, when a decent colour-way comes in.

[Khuya]

Any update Bunny? Can't really wait, my ergodox will be here by Friday...arggghhh

[zenless]

I'm kicking myself, anyone happen to have a spare BOO (black on orange) mod kit they know they won't need/want?

[Soraie]

I'm pretty sure Bunny will have extra sets for sale later after the Group Buy.

I thought that may have been implied somewhere but couldn't find the post. I picked up the base set and dont know why I didn't add the mod pack on. Thanks for the vote of confidence that there may be extras!
