JTK Sophomore GB - 100% shipped - Form in OP for any missing or damaged keys

[Vadurr]

Hopefully I get mine somewhat soon, I think I was in one of the first shipments. This lube and silencing rings are waiting for these things. 

I know that feel... I couldn't wait so I just finished drilling some holes into the plate to make things faster next time I open her up!

[SwoodGrommet]

I've recently received the sliders and I'm sorry to say but I'm a bit disappointed..
Here's what the result looks like

My plan was to mod it with SA Retro but besides the obvious need for drilling, the major problem was the wobble. When a key is released, the cap wobbles like it's attached to a tip of a dildo so I had to go with short profile blanks.

Most importantly, though, is that I had to discard about 20 sliders from my initial installation because the injection mark that's positioned on the cylindrical part of the slider would catch and jam the key halfway.


Here's a demo of the jamming and the loud sound it makes:

After sorting all of the sliders I was able to find the smooth ones but that left about half of all the sliders as rejected 
And as an additional sad note, the spacebar I got didn't catch the stabilizer pegs no matter how hard I pressed. This meant that the spacebar would tilt every time it was pressed off-center so I had to go back to the one I got off massdrop a while ago.

In the end I had to hypersphere the good sliders to not be as loud (wobble adds to the volume of the upstroke). The result on the photo is a smooth and working HHKB but I'm just sad that half of the sliders have to be dumped and the limitations the wobble imposes on the choice of caps.

Sorry you had those issues sir, that has certainly not matched the feedback I've received from other users nor does it match my experience

Please pm me your address so I can send you another set, free of charge of course in hopes that somehow it resolves some of these issues for you, at the very least if you experience the same thing you should have 2 good halves to make up a complete set, and ill throw in a few spacebars to make sure you have a working one

edit - heading to bed now so sorry if you message me and dont get a reply right away, ill respond when i get up tomorrow

Anyone on the east coast get their sliders yet? I am in FL and have not gotten them yet? I think I was on his first drop off.

I'm in Florida too and I haven't received mine yet either, should be any day now.


It's slightly nice to hear other people haven't got their sliders yet in Florida.

Nah nothing to do with sliders at all but they are free for anyone for cost of shipping, so a few people elected to have them included with slider orders

Hey Bunny, I sent you a pm with a certain inquiry. Please take a look when you have time, I'm one of the 11 slider packages that haven't been shipped yet.

[squeakypizza]

ok so i believe i have 12 slider orders left to ship

other than the 12 listed below, if you are expecting a slider order you should either be on the public sheet, or should have received an email from me stating your order has shipped some point this week

here are the 12 names i have still to ship and these are packed and will go out friday

Josh K*****n
Brian N****n
Z*** H**z
Brian A****n
E**** C****l
Christian D******a
H***** P**k
J***** Y*
Steven B**
Andrew C****
M*****l S******k Jr

the 12th order is someone i spoke to in the last day or 2 via pm who still needed to fill out the form and i havent checked it yet but will do before shipping

if you are not on the public sheet, havent been emailed, and your name isnt above, and you have a slider order, please contact me immediately, however before you do, please make absolutely sure you have thoroughly checked the public sheet, as the last 5 or so people who messaged me saying they werent on that sheet, were

thanks

I can't wait.  I'm also really looking forward to the slider guide.  Thanks, Bunny!

[suparnemo]

I'd definitely be interested in spacebars too!

x01 Black on Orange Mods (JTK Sophomore)
    $32.00
x01 Orange & Black (JTK Sophomore) - w/ Extras
    $60.00


Sadly enough, I havn't received even one keycap yet...

I also opened support ticket #0FA02021 on Feb and you replyed 'jtk is sending me replacements for those sets tomorrow and they should arrive to me some time next week. as soon as they do ill get them turned around for you immediately ' on March 15, so I'm just waiting...

You're right. It's not worth it to only ship that. Wasn't sure if I messed up or not. No biggie, thanks for letting me know.

Sliders came in the mail today! Started doing my install - so far so good. Not seeing any issues. Just to be safe i'm knocking down any bits of plastic from the mold sprue but not seeing anything that would actually interfere like SwoodGrommet's experience. Adding some lube for good measure but not silencing them. Also working on the template for drilling holes in the 2U 'boxes' so the cap posts can pass through.

Hope to finish this (very slow project) up next week.

[Mahm]

I did not recieve additional sliders either. Also only received one spacebar when I asked for a second, I figured if you had extras like you do you would have appeased people that wanted an extra one. Quite frustrating but atleast the good sliders are here safe and sound.

we provided 1 free spacebar with every order, we didnt give an option to purchase a second one, however for people who would like to purchase more i will be giving people that opportunity to to do so now i know how many are left

im sorry if somehow you were given the impression you would get more spacebars upon request
