they should be here by the end of the month!

Techno Trousers · 16 Jul 2017, 22:41

Yuss! Must see pictures of precious prototypes.

Petch · 21 Jul 2017, 17:14

I've honestly forgotten; are the spacebars in the wkl kit 7u, or is everything 6.25?

Building some boards in the near future and I want to be able to swap these on in November

matt3o · 01 Aug 2017, 16:17

Do you know if these will have any difficulties fitting on BOX switches?

[…] Two rather difficult keys to sculpt were ISO Enter and stepped caps lock. The latter came out simply delicious, if it weren’t PBT I would be probably eating it. […]

Fapped three times to the ISO Enter keycap and still good to go again. What a nice booty.

The bias against full satin finish is strong in the minds of PBT lovers. I blame IBM.

Very nice, can't wait for the delivery date

I hope the final keycaps are as thick as the one in the logo / first picture.

zslane · 10 Aug 2017, 20:31

The white prototypes I tested were nearly 2.0mm thick. If the final keycaps are anywhere close to that they will be mighty impressive!

Laser · 11 Aug 2017, 00:38

Fingers crossed

XMIT · 11 Aug 2017, 03:40

Neat! I'd still prefer shiny sides and a satin top, like old Hall Effect key caps, but I'll take anything.

Wingklip · 11 Aug 2017, 09:32

Could you perhaps make them slightly heavier so they aren't as hard to press down? I've found Bucklespring really latent due to the very long travel

Does MT3 have R5 keys (molds) in all sizes?

From examining the MassDrop kits again I only see 1u, 1.25u, 1.5u, and 2u (and the spacebars, of course). What about 1.75u, 2.25u, and 2.75u?

yes, they are that thick!

R5 is the bottom row, so far we don't have all the key size for that, but we may add more molds the next time.

Excellent!

Any news on the legend samples? October isn't far away

matt3o · 08 Sep 2017, 19:15

I got a second batch of prototypes. Everything is spot on. We are now fine tuning colors!

Felion · 08 Sep 2017, 20:50

Wonderful news! (and thanks for bringing this to the community!(i.e. "us")

This, shiny sides looks so much better than textured

Can I be cheeky and ask for photos?

evoman · 14 Sep 2017, 10:37

I am really anxiously awaiting my keycaps - I purchased a RF RGB that is waiting in a drawer to spring into action when these arrive!

JP! · 16 Sep 2017, 17:27

Man, I missed this one. Hopefully there will be a future round. I imagine this would go well with the new WhiteFox keyboard.

FSund · 17 Oct 2017, 10:58

There's a short update and a photo of the most recent prototypes over at matt3o's blog: https://matt3o.com/devtty-even-more-prototypes/

Everything is looking good, I can't wait!

Phenix · 17 Oct 2017, 13:03

If someone wants to part with a ortholinear kit+alphas once arrived please pm me..

kokokoy · 17 Oct 2017, 13:35

Oh. Didn’t know there were updates. Now regretting not getting the RGB mods.

Felion · 08 Nov 2017, 02:55

What is happening w/ MD and the drop cancelations?
