OblotzkyI'm very curious to see what kind of ETA we can expect from SP. Guess I'll know when this goes live tomorrow!

OblotzkyThanks for putting this together! The breakdown for kits needed for different keycaps is great.
Also - I've updated the numbers for the day and I wanted to update everyone on the UK kits - as long as we don't start losing people that have joined - we should be able to buy the extras and get these kits made even if they don't hit MOQ (this applies to the other kit like the Minilla etc).
Thanks again to the community for your support!

YanboWuWait, so does this mean all the keys will automatically hit the lowest possible price?

iNcontroLNo it means that all the kits will be made regardless of how many orders are placed. Generally there is a MOQ, minimum order quantity, that it required to produce each kit. Eg Minilla kit requires 50 orders to actually be made so previously if there were only 10 orders for that then it wouldn't be made.

OblotzkyThis is great news!!
I'm still undecided whether to go ISO or ANSI, QWERTY or DVORAK, but I did decide to go full monochrome Oblivion. It's just too delicious and too versatile to pass up! Stoked to see all the monochrome kits getting made!
Congrats to @Oblotzky for a damn fine keyset being made in its entirety and to all customers getting to see their dream sets realized! Big thanks to boss man @YanboWu for realizing this keyset!
Cheers from Sweden!

SnargeHey, the drop ended last Friday. It will ship ~June 2018 so buying it off of someone is your best chance on getting your hands on it. SA Carbon took about 2 years to be run a second time.

OblotzkyI tried to contact Massdrop the day it ended to switch my order from a Git to a normal Modifiers. Is possible to do that on your end as they couldn't help me out.

DerekDockHey, sorry but I don't have that ability. I'm merely a contracted designer in this drop, all the payment/logistics etc are handled by Massdrop. Sorry!
For what it's worth, in my opinion you chose the right modifiers :) hope you'll grow to like them! If not, I'm sure someone of the 600+ that bought regular modifiers would love to swap them for yours.

JcmotionYou bought all that and didn't even buy the LED kit? You ain't a true fan until you bite the bullet and spend $40 for 4 keys because you have to have them. All about that cost per key. And that throwback.

Dyl21Heyo, sorry but orders are locked at this point :(
There might be leftovers (MD purchases a couple extras for potential support requests) that are sold later on when they are no longer needed via this drop: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/capatoa-keycap-explosion this drop goes live 1-2 times a year to sell off old kits from the warehouse.

UPDATE 09/22/2017 (aka 22.09.2017) Drop concluded! Thanks so much to everyone that participated in this group buy! Seeing all these numbers roll in after so many hours spent on creating this set is a wonderful sight. I'm so happy that we had this much success! Now begins the last part of this epic journey, the long wait. Hang in tight :)
UPDATE 09/18/2017 (aka 18.09.2017) Bossman has given green light that all kits (yes, all!) are being made as long as people don't jump ship! So keep your orders in, or join if you haven't and our dream will be made true! https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-oblotzky-sa-oblivion-custom-keycap-set/talk/1817455
Hello and welcome fellow enthusiast!
I am here to guide you through what has been my pet project for the last 11 months. Back in October of last year, I started designing this keycap set as I wanted something on my keyboard that reflected my trade: Programming. You will find many influences of that profession in this set, but for those of you unfamiliar with it, I'd like to give you a short introduction to it.
First of all, lets talk colors. To make code more readable for humans, key words in it are highlighted with different colors. Just like in school when you were tasked to write nouns, verbs, adjectives and so on in different colors so you could better understand how sentences are constructed (at least we did that here in Germany). These colors are often carefully selected by designers and make up a 'color theme', one of which is called Oblivion. I've translated these colors over to this keyset in the same manner as it was done for the Penumbra keyset before. A solid dark shade of gray serves as the background for these beautiful colors, a visually stunning combination.
To expand on that theme, I created a second set of Modifiers called 'Git'. Git, developed by Linus Torvalds who also created the Linux operating system, is known among all modern programmers. It is a version control software that is used to keep track of code changes and also to back up code and other files on servers and the cloud. This software has many commands for various purposes, and simply acts as novelty text in this keyset.
Furthermore, there are some kits in this set that contain seemingly strange text such as XOR, RET, JMP, MOV and so on. These are instructions for Assembly, a very low level programming language. It is basically one level above punching ones and zeros into a computer, very fancy stuff. They serve as abstract legends, as they are used on keyboards where almost every user is using a different layout. Providing regular legends such as Shift and Tab for them would often lead to incorrect labeling, but with Assembly instructions, it remains neutral.
The Monochrome keys have very little to do with programming. I added those as an alternative for people that don't like colors on their sets as much, but still appreciate the selection of gray tones of this set. With a few accent keys, they allow you to build some nice vintage looking keyboards.
I hope this shines some light on the background of this keycap set.
Lastly, here is a handy sheet where you can check what kits are required to cover your layout, please feel free to suggest which I could add to the list!
If you have any question, please don't hesitate to ask! I am here from start to finish and beyond to answer anything that might be on your mind :)
I hope you will enjoy the ride as much as I!
