[wodan]

Amazing international support, this looks really great!

Great to see a new "face" in the keycap profile game

[Fictiouz]

Definitely in for a few kits. My Planck needs a fresh face and Force Awakens, Middle Earth, Tal Rasha's and Small Engine are calling my name.

[ishtob]

will there be an otion for the 1.75 space bar for those of us using the JD45s? I see it as an option on the Tao Bao store

[sinetwo]

Middle earth and ergo ordered. I don't particularly like LOTR but this looks good

[AMongoose]

Will you get some photos of the blue and red kits before the GB ends? Really temped to get a red one but some photos would be nice.

[xmrxx]

Does anyone know what size is spacebar on whitefox and classic filco keyboards ?

[tomboy]

Does anyone know what size is spacebar on whitefox and classic filco keyboards ?

6.25 except for the winkeyless whitefox, that's 7.

so i need 6.25 for whitefox and 7 for filco ?

You'll need a 7 if you have a winkeyless whitefox, and a 6.25 for everything else (filco, other whitefox layouts).

Unfortunately not. I'm getting a black Sakura soon however.

[sinetwo]

Howdy, on the middle earth set, do the extra F and J have a homing nub, or are the caps concaved? I can't really tell by the image attached.

[MaNiFeX]

So great that you are brining a new profile to the community!

No problem! It was only with the Chinese communities' help that this was possible.

the keys with the "circles" are scooped! (on da left side)

Thanks for the swift reply

Hi....
About the RGB modifier....so we will get red alt and blue blue ctrl keys but not red ctrl and blue alt keys like on the picture shown?
And the 8 key RGB modifiers....are we getting all the coloured keys or are we to choose 1 colourway for 8 keys?
Thanks for the GB Jchan..

Does matt3o get royalties for the set designs?

[Fictiouz]

Does matt3o get royalties for the set designs?

Matt3o is OK with the reuse of this color scheme. Well last i heard anyways.

Yea he posted on reddit and a few other places right away as those showed up - he is flattered that people want his designs this bad and if the Chinese are copying him then that's when you know your work is good.

I agree, and I think his stance on it is quite commendable.

Can't get the ones pictured.

any chance we could get some middle earth purple legend renders on a board or an ergodox?

Sorry but we don't have any renders made for these kits. All photos you see are of existing kits.

[oneproduct]

Is there more information about what these risks are?

Also how does this keycap profile differ from existing ones? E.g. comparisons vs DSA, which seems the closest visually.

You can find a small review by Lunarisdream here - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=84453.0

The risks are of course that this has not been tested by a mass of people and only a select few have touched it. Quality is always a thing with our enthusiast community, but the makers are pretty stringent on the quality of the product and are very experienced with dyesubbing and manufacturing.

Scrolling through all the awesome kits The 1.75 shift cap in the modifier plus+ kit, is it the only 1.75 shift in the set?

XD arsenal has it too. It depends on the Caps Lock you want IIRC.

[pon10]

Everything is there Thanks! what a impressive coverage & price looking forward to see how this goes, i am in!

[breusch91]

In for the force awakens set. Wish there were a few more star wars themed modifiers but cant wait to test this out!

Too bad. Wanted to see some samples. Can't decide which color of legends I would pick

Just a simple question though. Will this set have a round 2 GB?

[Slash Emperor]

Hopped in for a bunch of kits last night. Love the sheer number of options!

[Cotay]

Just a note for the XD60, the table of required keys does not account for layouts that include 1u arrow keys (kinda a major point of an XD60). For that you need to add the TKL keys or the Mr President RGB 8 Key packages.

[KHAANNN]

1.75, 1.25, 1.25, 1.25 arrow cluster, wtf man, I was trying to reduce my spending

[Cotay]

1.75, 1.25, 1.25, 1.25 arrow cluster, wtf man, I was trying to reduce my spending

Yup, the XD Arsenal actually has all 1.25 arrows. This I assume is for people who want to use the "1.25+1.25+1.25+6.25+1.25+1.25+1.25+1.25" or "1.5+1.5+7+1.25+1.25+1.25+1.25" layouts with in-line arrows instead of RAlt/FN/RWin/RCtrl. Although this allows one to keep a larger RShift on a "Left" layout board (or the "?" key in the correct location on a Non-Left layout), it's less than ideal for my use.

I believe r2 will happen only after r1 is fulfilled so people can know the quality and what to expect. But, nothing is determined and this is my speculation.

[Tom_Kazansky]

there is no 1.75u Fn

I will be waiting for R2

There are boards that use that? Which.

the Poker and KPB v60 can have Fn instead of Capslock (1.75u key)
it's the question about who use it though...

actually, I just want it for my custom board

I guess you want the actual fn legend to be there so that it fits the board 100% but they do offer blanks for this set in pretty much every single size, if you aren't too fussed about that then you could just get a 1.75u blank (not sure if JChan has those available but they're somewhere on taobao, like $2 per key so if something goes wrong it's not the end of the world).

[UsualSuspectXXX]

Definitely going to keep an eye on these and see how the quality comes out from round 1.

[davisthegreat]

I'm a noob, aside from my magicforce 68, the TADA68 will be my first real Mech board.

Any help on which mod kit i would get with the right sizes.  I know the space is 6.25u but ive pulled up an image of my TADA68 ( havent received it yet) and my shift seems smaller than the regular modifier kit that is in my cart currently.

Here's a diagram showing all the cap sizes on the TADA:


You'll need a 1.75u for the right shift, plus a bunch of 1u-s for the bottom row / right column.

Sweet thank you, hope I get it right .. I added the xd arsenal.. the modifier and the tkl should have it covered.

Well damn... Yup. Good catch thanks!

[punksinatra]

Apologize for being dumb, I have a few questions

1. Size of spacebar for standard bottom row TKL is 6.25 or 6.5?
2. Elven set or Force awaken set is equivalent to alphas + extra keys?

thinking of forgoing the normal alphas and going straight up ghetto

[KHAANNN]

1. 6.25

By the way, on the order page, the "Spacebars" warnings were a nice touch

I really fancy a purple force awakens set

My question:

On the sample photos, the top row with 1! 2@ 3# could use a small bit of improvement in terms of sizing and spacing, are such improvements planned for this GB? (Other than this minor detail, they are perfect, Also, I assumed, they are actual keycaps and not renders in the photos, since there are fibers on the keycaps etc.) - all in all, they are beauties

[punksinatra]

6.25 that's great thanks.

[breusch91]

Already bought in for a regular set, force awakens, extras, and a spacebar so this doesn't change my decision to get in on this new profile, very excited to try it. But I'm just wondering which profile is it most similar too? From the renders looks closer to a dsa
