Jukebox SA Custom Keycap Set

May 23, 2016

Getting kind of sick of these ripoff keycap sets where the price displayed is for a base set that doesn't even have enough keys for a 60%. They then made it worse by making you get enough keys for a TKL to still complete a 60%, and they made the set of just those extra keys cost more than the base. Absolutely ridiculous.

SoundtoxinPerhaps if you read the thread on Geekhack or the comment section here you might be able to understand the reason it's laid out this way

ASCIII understand the benefits of modularity and I am fine with that, but the price not reflecting a complete set for even an extra-small keyboard + the modifiers costing much more than the base and including caps not everyone needs seems like a mistake. If I got the 60%/TKL set I would have useless extra keys I paid for. I understand there are sets where they aren't broken up at all, so that this method is nice, but I don't think it was broken up well at all.

SoundtoxinThe Dangerzone drop for instance had the base set that would cover 60%/TKL cost $65.99 and had many more buys than this one, our price at lowest with both sets needed is $68.98... so not so bad.

SoundtoxinThe price difference between a kit specifically for 60% keyboards and TKL kit with the extra 1U keys needed to cover a TKL is quite minimal. The larger modifiers and spacebar are what makes the TKL kit, in this case, as expensive as it is. I got quite a few quotes and different style kits from SP to pick the ones that made the most sense. Signature Plastics is setting these prices, not me, not Massdrop. This has been stated repeatedly.
Secondly, Massdrops drop system wasn't made for drops like this, with drops within drops. That is why the "base price/kit" of alphas is the price that shows ($35.99). It would be dumb to have the shown price include alpha+tkl when many users aren't even buying the TKL kit. Some from round 1 probably aren't buying alphas even.
