Hot damn! That looks so good. Now I canāt wait to see the gb start. I hope itās a uuuge success!
I own many keycap sets, but not a single one on DSA profile. The flat profile always turned me off.
This is going to be my first, though, thatās for sure. Beautiful color scheme! Will look amazing on my gray Klippe!
Looking forward to the GB!
Hey @gab.a! Each kit has both options:
- Alphas have regular F+J and homing barred F+J (render: third row, right)
- Mod kits have regular down-arrow and homing barred down-arrow
- Numpad has regular 5 and homing dotted 5
- (Colevrak is all homing barred .)
So, in all cases, you have the option to use the regular (non-barred) keys.
Hope that clears things up!
Today is the day?
I dunno. I posted April 10 on reddit and geekhack, but TKC posted April 9 on instagramā¦
We should have something available by the end of the day.
well letās just say soonā¢
Question for the mods:
Is it better to create another post for the GB? or just update this one?
Thanks
Hey good question! Iād say best to update the title and post content of this one, keeps everything tidy in one place. If possible keep the IC info below the GB content in the first post so that it can be referred to. Can add spoiler to IC content if you want to collapse it.
Updated the OP with GB information.
Just a heads up:
Our EU (mykeyboard.eu) and Asia (zFrontier) proxies arenāt up yetā¦ they should be within the next few days.
Otherwise, US & Canada proxies are open for orders.
Cheers!
Great job on updating the post, it looks great! Iāll be joining via your store as soon as my credit card period rolls over to the next month now. Wishing you all the best in the GB and I hope we can get all those kits made!
Joining when it hits mykeyboard.eu. Think Iām gonna build a preonic. Set looks amazing!
Iām gonna be soo sorry I passed on this, but my budget just canāt allow it at this time
Thanks for the moral support
We really tried to make it as affordable as possible. Especially with the 40ās kit.
Excellent. Glad holtenc chose a similar colour as the renders for the prime_e.
PS. Colevrak has reached MOQ!
Thanks for this wonderful set. Iām definitely buying it!
Iām a bit frustrated with the pricing on MyKeyboard.eu though. Itās significantly higher. Hereās a comparison with TheKey.Company for the subsets Iām interested in:
- $30 vs. ~$40.6 (36ā¬) for Alphas
- $40 vs. ~$50.8 (45ā¬) for 40% & Ortho
- $25 vs. ~$29.3 (26ā¬) for Novelties
- $5 vs. ~$7.7 (6.8ā¬) for Colevrak
So my total for the 4 subsets on TKC is $100 which even with the $23.79 delivery to Norway is cheaper than the total on MyKeyboard.eu without delivery: ~$128.36 (113.80ā¬) (they donāt show the delivery cost for preorders, but it wonāt be free for sure).
Iām looking into it (with TKC)
I will quote myself, from the geekhack GB thread:
From my experience with the Canadian proxy, if I were to charge in Canadian dollars, then the price goes up 3% automatically. Beyond a certain order quantity, I would have to charge 10% more in taxes. Shipping from the manufacturer to Canada is also more expensive (let alone Europe); since we sell fewer kits, I have to take that penalty. In this case, Canadian buyers save on shipping, taxes and duties.
However, a full-fledged business has to charge full taxes (in Canada, at least). Prices listed on mykeyboard.eu include VAT. There is also duties and handling fees related to importing.
If the price is roughly the same as buying directly, then you win because 1. you get more reliable shipping (imagine 50+ packages crossing the ocean, versus one). Your local proxy has access to and is more familiar with the local carriers. 2. Service at proximity is always preferable in case anything goes wrong. Not to mention that our EU and Asia proxies are reputable businesses used to this kind of thing.
I would expect a smoother experience, overall.
