Sorry for my previous comments about the availability of this set this year, it is unlikely that this will be available through Massdrop in the future, and it's not for lack of trying.
thesiscamperI’m looking forward to the Berserk set, but I think it makes it clear that Maxkeys is just not capable of the breadth of options that this set needs. I know you have reservations about doing this set at all with the wait time approaching a round year, but the fact that this set has one of the highest resale markups of any SA set makes it quite clear that the demand is high enough for it to succeed despite the wait if you’re game.
I know I’m not even close to the only one who would not hesitate to pay a fair markup and wait the year for this set. I don’t know what to do except beg you to give this set one last proper go with literally any other vendor, the sooner the better. If that isn’t even a possibility I’d like to know so I can start saving for the absurd price gouging this set commands.
I know you have a lot on your plate, so thanks for your continued correspondence in this thread regardless.
callowI will be talking with vendors I've worked with before. I've even asked Melissa to run this on PMK as one of their stocked sets. Unfortunately their schedule is fully booked as we all know and they have no idea when they can work on it, even if they're happy to.
When the first round dropped I intended this set to have drops as long as there's demand, unfortunately a lot of things are getting in the way.
Thank you for the support, I can only say it will happen, just not sure how and when at the moment.
thesiscamperWow, hearing this kind of stuff from a LOT of really important people in the community. Between this and the complete silence on numerous late drops (when they used to be on the ball about communication) it almost seems like MassDrop is trying to kill themselves off or just make themselves into another mass produced bullshit retailer.
Thank you for your awesome design and your dedication to bringing this back to market eventually.
thesiscamperJust found out how amazing the SP SA Troubled Minds set look like. I'm sad I wasn't into keyboard back then when this dropped!
I am very hyped up for this. 2018 will be a great year!! :)
Thanks.
fx35sfirst set we will see with new molds will be calm depths. All the people all anal about little imperfections nedd to realize they are a new company and have a turn around time 4x faster than any Competition out there not only that, price is 1/3 what others are with same quality of overall caps profile and plastics used. Necular was not even “horrible” blame the designe on creators not builder
DillonHightowerI generally don't vouch for Chinese/Taiwanese keycaps. But like you said we will see how they turn out. GMK and SP SA should be used as standards when comparing I suppose since they are the most expensive/best available items at any given point.
thesiscamperHi @thesiscamper , any news on the SA Troubled Minds since we're into Q1 now? :)
A little too early maybe, but just thought I'd ask anyways!
Happy new year!
fx35sI apologize for the very late reply, I've been busy with a lot of things including TM preparations. As Vloshko stated, the interest check thread is up on geekhack and it will be sold on kono.store, mykeyboard.eu and zfrontier.com.
