While waiting for the next round of prototypes for Susuwatari what better than prepping the next round of /dev/tty? The first original MT3 keyset! Drop is releasing /dev/tty every now and then but rarely with the plethora of options I like, so it’s time to rectify the situation and run a proper group buy.
On one side we’d like to keep it as simple as possible, so newcomers don’t risk taking the wrong kit, on the other we want to support the weirdest layouts! So the following is what we have at the moment, everything is still beta so please if you have requests and suggestions this is the right time!
Click to enlarge.
So the big news are:
- Side printed kit (hopefully, still not 100% sure, sorry)
- Japan kit! Any Japanese can confirm the layout is correct?
- Added R0 1.5 and R1 1.5u keys
- Added 2.25 and 2.75 spacebars
- The colemak/dvorak now supports even more weird layouts
- The international kit is back, baby!
Comments
Any chance of getting the R3 Control key (replacing capslock) included in the base kits? It’s such a common modification, and getting the extra modifiers kit for that one cap is overkill.
I’m still thinking about that. Adding R3 controls also means adding 4 capslock keys (1.25 and 1.50 in both R4 and R5), so it’s quite some additional keys.
I guess at least 90% of the people wanting a R3 control key don’t care about any caps lock key.
I agree. An R3 control would support HHKB layout used on many boards.
There are many keyboards with HHKB layout where an R3 CTRL is useful, and no caps lock is needed whatsoever.
Any chances of an Ergo mod kit? I’m using a mix of some Godspeed MT3 prototype caps, multiple MT3 sets, and 2 blanks sets I’ve picked up to outfit a RGBKB Sol. Labels aren’t really necessary, but would be really nice
yes, I’m thinking about it, but I don’t get much support from the ergo-kids…
I have ergo in dev/tty and love it. Would be great for continued support, legends not required
All we really need is a couple 1.5u keys in R1, R2, R3, in the Extra Mods kit. The other keys can be found in existing kits.
what keys? I added R0 and R1 1.5u that will need to be done because we don’t have them yet
Going by the Ergodox layout it’d be amazing if we could have these 1.5u’s:
– 2x R1 1.5u
– 2x R2 1.5u
– 6x R3 1.5u
– 2x R4 1.5u
And then additionally these:
– 4x R2 1u
– 4x R3 1u
– 10x R3 1u
– 4x R4 (or R3) 2u
I’d just order them instantly If they could come in blanks, and maybe some duplicated in different colors.
this is the latest reiteration, let me know what you think https://i.imgur.com/PPFwOXC.png
Oh my god, matt3o, this is perfect! You absolutely nailed it.
I only have 2 notes for “nice-to-haves”:
1. Would be nice to have a red winkey.
2. Would be nice to have another red 2u FN (or blank) key.
Blanks or the layout you posted would be amazing. I’d order.
I’m using a jumble of kits on my RGBKB sol and an ergo blanks set on my Sol2. I’m always looking for more MT3 ergo sets. I’d love to get some with legends too.
I’ll see if I can squeeze an ergo kit!
Yes, indeed an Ergodox-compatible kit would be highly appreciated :) I just got my HotDox kit a little while ago and currently have the SA Matchoco R2 ergo/alphas sets on it. I really enjoy the spherical caps, but I missed out on the Serika because that was just before I joined the custom keyboard scene :)
Ergo mods would be great!
we are having those!
Please!
You have always had my support, bruv.
Yes, please add Ergodox! Drop doesn’t seem to offer it at all and I already gave up trying to find it on ebay.
I really wish I had known to look here and not geekhack for the interest check because this ergo kit makes no sense. I mean the mods with labels seem good if you’re into labels. But providing only half blanks doesn’t make sense. The blanks should have been doubled or else offered a blank ergo set …. :-(
Any chance of getting a red Return key in Internationl Kit? In Base Kit it’s red but in International Kit is grey or cyan… how about to add also the red one? :P
depends on pricing! if it’s not too bad I’ll add the red one too
Definitely would like to see this too.
Are all the new keycaps perfectly matched to the drop’s? (Color and imprint)
yes. maybe just the orange color will be fixed (again)
Where is buying this? and when?
and i bought 1800 kit set from the drop.. there are no small capslock keys. If I want a small capslock key, do I have to buy one more base kit?
I’ve been waiting so long. this time lol
soon™ :) I guess a few weeks
When Drop offers them, will they be for immediate shipment?
If not, how long a wait can be expected?
we are still working on the details, but anyway production would be rather fast
One month? Two?
Guessing they’re made in China, will the virus situation delay production?
Any word on when Drop will list it?
Thanks
I sent the final kits to Drop today so I should have pricing in a couple of days, but as you said production in China is very slow now. I expect some delay for sure.
Where are the 1.5u space bars for my cornes:fear:
Yes please!
I read “support the weirdest layouts” and got my hopes up for a 6.5u spacebar.
If possible, I think it would make some people very happy.
broooo I love you!
@matt3o can you autograph my set?
if you send it to me I’ll sign it for you ;)
Why is not the R5 red enter keycap in the ortho kit? I need it.
granted!
Please make a 5.5u spacebar. I have a couple plum keyboards that use 5.5 and finding keycap sets are stupid hard.
Awesome.. love the dev/tty/ 1800 kit I bought on drop. When/where will these be available? Really interested in the Unicorn RGB+YO colorway. Any chance you would offer more than just modifiers in that colorway? Would be awesome to see those colors in the function row and/or TKL keys.
Count me in. Given the plethora of keys you have included, I can’t wait to get my hands on a set for the prototypes we’re working on. Would love to see a set of keycaps labeled TTY# instead of the F# to keep up with the ethos of the set.
that’s actually a nice idea. there are simply too many of them and I can’t remove the F# or people go in division by zero.
I checked but could not find 1.5U Command (⌘) which is needed for a HHKB layout?
I’ll fix that
Thank you, much appreciated!
Very nice update indeed! Though I’ll pass on most of this set since I prefer ABS doubleshot more. The only kit I’m interested in right now is the side-print kit (hope that happens!). And 1 suggestion I have is to consider a homing row kit – similar to what was offered with MT3 Serika. Keep up the good work!
Is this GB going to be on Drop?
yes, MT3 is a Drop exclusivity
Did Drop buy the molds? Damn son.
Would it be possible to extend the international kit to support Latin American Spanish layout?
that should be feasible
Any chance of a vertical F key set? I’m planning on using them in a Model F 122 type layout and having sculpted PF keys would be nice!
That or ideally a “Respects kit”, with a full set of F1-12, PF13-24 and PF1-10 vertical sculpt, though I understand there would be less interest in that. I’m somewhat resigned to buying an additional base set just for the second full set of F key.
Also, an R4 `~ key in the international kit would be wonderful, it would permit a UK Macintosh layout.
R1 §± would also be nice, but that key is utterly useless and inane, so I’m less bothered about that one.
mmmh a sculpted F1-10 would be nice indeed… let’s see if I can do it
I second this idea, would be really cool to support a set of vertical F keys!
Not sure if there’s an interest outside of… well… myself but I’d love to see an R1 F-Row. I don’t use the number row (that’s what I got layers for) and usually put the F-Row there. Or maybe a R0 Backspace? That would work as well I guess.
Hi, may I ask /where/ this will be announced for purchase? Thank you 🙏😊
here on this blog and on Drop.
Baguette kit ?
they don’t buy… we tried…
Any chance of making the backspace key /dev/null?
ehehe that’s a sweet idea :D actually it should be “>/dev/null”
That would be awesome!
Please make that happen! :-)
That would be awesome
God 1.5u Esc and Del keys to fully support my Race3? But I already committed to Susuwatari! Looks like a good set matt3o! :-D
Nice! Any chance of supporting the UHK? Looks like most keys can be covered with a combination of the kits above, with the exception of the non-standard R1 1.5U and R5 1.75U:
https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/layout-and-keycaps
NVM, just realised R1 1.5U is listed. Not sure how viable 1.75U spacebars are, but definitely a nice-to-have.
hey is it possible to have some colored WASD and/or ←↑↓→ buttons added to the RGB kit?
Can you tell me which kits I would need in order to outfit a TADA68?
The base kits in either mod color look like they’ll cover the Tada68’s default layout. Your unusual keys are the R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn, and the 1U Alt, Fn, and Ctrl for the bottom row (which are in the base kit both for R4 and R5). The 1.75U right shift is also there.
a 1.25u (or even two) on R3 would be great for staggered 40s users – as it stands, the only way it can be done now is with a wrong profile key. the most common legends for the key would be tab or control on the left side, and enter on the right – however, to make things simpler, you can just replace them with some made up symbols or words. hopefully you’ll take that into consideration!
Can we have a red iso enter?
Seconded. Red ISO enter would be really nice.
In the international kit please
that has been added
Is it possible to have a blank 1.25u in the spacebars kits? It is pretty common for split space setups.
This! I am wasting many hours of my life trying to find even just a stand-in until the day that this dev/tty set releases a 1.25 spacebar for the 3x split KBD spacebar layout! Please Mat3o! Save me from this hell that is my exisestense without MT3 PBT 2.25, 1.25, 2.75! You are our savior! (not being sarcastic).
I’ll try!
take ALL my money! Between the 2.25/1.25/2.75 space bars, the extra mods, and maybe the side printed set I won’t be able to pay for the divorce lawyer I am going to need!
I would love the chance for a 5U spacebar.
+1 for 5U spacebar
+1 for ergo support.
I need me a “Sleepy” key. Nice throwback on that one. Also excited about the “> /dev/null” option.
Have to make sure I don’t miss this one! The space bar kits are a welcome addition for split space boards. Thank you!
Any change of elven ever making it back into an MT3 set? I’ve been hoping for a rerun of the legends on a sculpted keyset.
I don’t think that is going to happen
I have two questions:
1) Can you confirm that there is a 2u shift in the extra mods kit?
2) Is it possible to add a R4 DEL key to the extra mods kit for a 64-key layout?
1. yes
2. yes
Neat how the bleached kit contains all you need for an iso layout! (2 different shift + enter key). Kudos.
Any chance of being able to buy a R2+R3 (vertical) delete button? Preferably blank/’bleached’).
You already have a mold for the button (numpad ‘+’ button), but I guess the issue is that it might not ‘fit’ in any kits, and massdrop doesnt like selling individual keys?
I’ve been waiting patiently for the next run and am stoked this is happening! Is there any chance the CMY kit makes it back into this run? I think they look great paired with the triumph mods.
Another vote for CMY!
Loving this! Would it be possible to add a set of red Lower and Raise buttons to the ortho kit? I like those to stand out and match the red Esc and Enter keys
Loving the support for 65/75 as well as Colevrak! I’m definitely gonna be getting the set.
Just wondering if there would be more options for the navigation keys on the 65/75 layouts. Basically, just adding an R2 Print Screen and Delete button.
And another, would it be possible to make a text-only modifier kit? Prob gonna have to poll around to see what the total interest, but I would totally be down for a separate gb for it.
Not absolutely required, but I would like an r5, 1u esc key for my Planck. I ended up with it there and I’m not sure I want to move it yet. :)
Hi where should I look for the GB announcement? Here? Reddit?
Also thanks a lot for providing an option with the blank keys! Really excited!
I don’t see the key lengths, so would like to ask – would “bleached” cover these keys (it’s Quefrency):
1 x 54
1.25u x 5
1.5u x 3
1.75u x 2
2.25u x 3
2u x 1
I don’t think we can cover all that with the current blanks kit, I’ll see if I can add some more keys there
It looks like there will be some options to get a super/win/mod R3 (to replace caps lock) ?
Any chance at getting side-printed done?
How about bumps on F and J ? I’m really missing those things…
I believe they had issues doing the pinned keys in the past, so I’m not sure we will have those. I’m waiting for the side printed prototypes soon.
Thankfully, somebody told me that you were working on this revision. I almost bought the 65% kit on Drop right now, but the NK65 has a short right shift and 1U modifiers on the right of the space bar … both of which you’ve fixed in the new base kit.
It’ll be my first MT3 set, which I’m looking forward to. I am weird and love SA but dislike GMK. I’ll probably sell my GMK sets to fund this purchase ;)
Maybe this is weird, but I’d love an all-R5 ortho set. (I feel like at some point, a uniform-profile MT3 set was on your plate, but maybe I’m imagining that.)
yeah that’s not a bad idea. Maybe next time! Or even better with a flat profile ala DSA
Some keyboards have “Super” key (Win/Cmd) with size 1.5U, can they be added?
The F5-F8 keys are not the same color as the other Fx keys, I feel it would be better if they had the same color, my suggestions:
– F1-F12 keys in the Basic Kit are the same color, adding F5-F8 keys to the Extra Mod kit
– keep the Basic Kit, add F1-F4 and F9-F12 keys to the Extra Mod kit
it’s customary to alternate Fx keys color.
I’ll add the 1.5u super, thanks for the suggestion.
I would love to have the CMY kit.
Excited for this. I already have a set from R2 but the Japanese kit looks great. Too bad there’s no way to buy mods separately from the base kit, would love to just get some Japanese alphas for the grey mods I already have and pair my old Latin alphas with the teal mods. Then again I guess the plastic used to make these has changed a bit since the last time the set ran and the difference could feel somewhat strange.
can you send me a picture of the two different plastics?
I’m not sure it’s visible but the Godspeed run had caps that feel almost fuzzy compared to /dev/tty’s very smooth surface.
Context: I’m a bit new to mechanical keyboards and group buys in general, and I already have the ortho /dev/tty from Drop. I’d like to get the same for my home keyboard. Would there be a difference for me if I got it here instead of the currently available at Drop? Would it make a difference to you?
the group buy will be on Drop, so no difference at all :D
How do we sign up for notifications for when this drop starts? You can’t do it through Drop.com because they forward all /dev/tty traffic to the current set being sold. You can’t even look-at/request/subscribe to old pages of the /dev/tty1 set. I am deathly afraid I will forget to check by the time it is released and I will miss it.
https://drop.com/buy/56051
Thank you!
I just want to get clarification on some contradictory information between the examples above and the page you linked. Above, there are 2.25u and 2.75u space bars listed with all the other space bars, but on Drop’s page, the Space Bars kit only included 2u and 3u space bars. The only place I see that a 2.25u and 2.75u keys that could be used would be in the Big Blanks kit. Is that correct?
Drop page is not updated yet
I’m on Drop’s page, is this still “not updated yet” a year later, or did they fix it and are now sold-out?
oh yeah, you are late to the party :) But I bet we’ll have more in the future!
Yeah, definitely late to the party. A bit frustrated though, I went ahead and got everything else but the spacebars figuring I’d get them when they are in-stock again. Thought it was a big risk until they came in just a few days after the drop ended! Then I wanted to see if I couldn’t get something more to get free shipping to have them sell-out of 2.75 while I’m looking… How often do these come back? Am I going to have to wait a year?
RGB kit – shifts are down as R3 not R4
CMY kit?
Side-printed kit = awesome.
Someone mentioned 6.5u spacebar – has my vote!
Have to say I prefer a proper kit breakdown with separate alphas + mods, though.
Keep up the good work!
I look so much forward to the blank set! I already have multiples of the set but never got around to buying the blanks. I also need one more of the international set which MD screwed up a bit the last few times :)
Random unlikely key request since I am probably the only one who would ever want them.
left quote and left single quote (“ ‘)
right quite and right single quote (” ’)
em dash and en dash (— –)
I like to map these to their own keys for writing, but never see keycaps. Blank R4 keycaps work, but still would be nice to have actual labeled keys.
Is R5 for the ortholinear kit also flat or is it angled?
R5 is always flat
I assume there is a difference in shape between the R4+R4 ‘enterkey’ and the R2+R3 ‘plus’ key in the Numpad kit?
yes, there is
Thanks.
(Were really hard to get angled pictures at those keys since most people build tenkeyless keyboards).
Any chance for a superhoming kit like the one Serika had?
Any idea of when this might run on Drop? :)
I should have pricing this week.
Would this be a group buy or would they just add the options to the ongoing dev/tty that is available now?
it’s likely that they will update the current page with all the new options.
Any news?
coronavirus made things a little slower than expected
I read through the thread and saw you are adding an Ergo kit! Thanks a ton, the one you linked looks amazing, so excited for this next run.
Bleached looks nice.
BTW, are there any plans for elven kit?
I ordered it in last drop and received error kit. T_T
no more elven, sorry!
Wooop. Glad I got one on mechmarket while they were still cheap. If only I had blank ergo set so I can put it on my board walk and not have any conflicting English
One ask… in the Ortho kit can we get 1-2 blanks for every row? that way if we are doing something most people don’t do it isn’t too wacky? Like I put my dash key next to the P key because that’s what I use the most when I’m just normally typing. Also, thank you for putting a Row 3 Tab. Makes me feel like I’m not the only one who does it that way lol.
Any chance of a Row 5 Enter and/or Backspace key? I started with the Ergodox and got used to thumb clustering everything. Red or Grey, I’ll take either lol… or even just more Row 5 blanks?
These are literally the only reasons I didn’t buy this set in rev 1 on Drop now. Great work, thank you for listening to the community, and I understand if my request are too late lol.
yeah I think we can add a few blanks! Thanks for the feedback
As promised, I ordered!
Thank you for listening to requests. I can’t wait to type on these!
Hello, I am looking forward to this!
Is there any chance of a 5U spacebar, as found on most laptop keyboards?
Is there any way to have u2 WhiteFox in the Lost + Found set? I have a WhiteFox and I use it for the Windows key. Thanks so much.
Wondering if we could get support for a weird 75/65/60 bottom row layout.
From left to right, it’s 1.5u Ctrl, 1.5u Alt, 7u space, 1.5u Fn, and 1.5u Super/Win/Cmd.
Basically, can you add a 1.5u Super?
Great news!
Thanks for blanks, for spanish, and for ‘extended’ coleman/dvorak/and co.
Is there a group buy outside USA, like Europen Union, to avoid steep customs!?
Thanks.
I know, I told Drop 1 million times, but they don’t care.
I see…
I have previously bought from them, but I kind of dropped it (:,) for that reason, since it’s gotten really silly with Customs fees.
I feel you, mate
I think it is time that the former Yugoslav Layout (today: South Slavic Latin) gets some love finally. Only six keys as addition to the International Kit would be enough.
Ooh, bleached keycaps = no legends?
That’s exactly what I wanted. Damnit, if I could replace my current set with the blank set that would be ideal, but I guess I’ll have to buy another :P
Will there be a 1.5U Esc and Delete key?
Would love to put a set on the Vortex Race 3, but it has those odd sized ESC and Delete keys.
yeah I believe that is covered
Thanks,
Which set includes them?
Extra mods
“Extra Mods” has 1.5u Esc and Del keys.
Please add an ISO kit too.
already available, check “International Kit”
It’s great to see there will be a third round of dev/tty. I have a couple of suggestions, although even if any are useful I worry I’m too late.
Regarding the non-homing F & J in the Colevrak+ kit, only the QWERTY layout has F and J on the home row. If the intent is to support non-homing QWERTY, moving non-homing F & J to kits containing homing F & J makes more sense. Then also add non-homing 5 to the Numpad kits to cover all non-homing scenarios.
Regarding convex R4/R5 keycaps, please mark them in the kit pictures (only in Ortholinear and Spacebar kits, right?). I know MT3 dye-sub tooling covers more convex sizes that double-shot does, but I don’t know exactly what convex sizes are available in either. For the Spacebar kits it could be as simple as tacking “c” onto the end of the row labels.
Finally, some would appreciate size labels on all the non-1U keycaps in all the kit pictures. Although others might find it detracts from the appearance, so there’s that.
Anyway, best of luck for this group buy!
Any update on when this will be available?
covid-19 set things a little back, but we are working on it.
I know that it may be impossible for you to say, but are we talking several weeks or several months? I know things are really tough in Italy right now, hope everythings okay.
Was thinking that text only mods like Susuwatari would be sick. And text only arrow keys to complete it.
I would love the Japan and side-printed kits!
A bit late but I think another R1 dark gray 1u cap would be nice to have in the Bleached in order to be able to alternate the num row + split backspace for 60% boards like this https://i.imgur.com/vJgEn7E.jpg. Just a thought!
Praying for Italy and everyone else throughout this crisis.
Can we get R0 Delete on base kit?
I have 75% keyboard with R0 Del, so I have to buy numpad kit to get that one key
Waiting for this to be available for purchase!
Will it be possible to get the Beige Vendors Kit sized in 1U?
Would love some Amiga keys for my 1U R4 keyboards.
that would be a great idea, I don’t know if I can squeeze them in though
I know I’m a little late to the game, but any thoughts on legend-less, blank caps? Even just a set of blank 1u caps for the letters would be fantastic!
yes, there will be blanks :)
Any chance to have R3 1,25u Control and Tab in extra mods?
Can the nippled keys be made available separately? Or maybe included with Extra Beige Mods?
Already have the base 1800 set, but it came only with the scooped F, J, and 5.
Thanks
I believe they had issues the last time with the nippled key (dye-sub sheet doesn’t stick), that’s why we are not including it anymore.
Any difference between core kit in prior runs and tty2?
I just ordered the ortho kit for my coming 5×6 manuform before seeing your post and was kicking myself!
Also looking to get a few 1.5u R3s for thumb keys, any kit suggestions (the guys at OhKeyCaps suggested R3)?
Two more questions:
1) for sideprinted kit, super excited, but would think maybe blank top row instead of number row with the numpad side printing would be great!
2) any plans for a PBT double-shot shine-through set at some stage? I don’t even care what colors, trust your artistic vision, just want shine-through PBT in MT3 profile ^,^
all kits are different from previous runs, but I don’t have a list of what changed sorry. The sideprinted is still “maybe”, I should get some pictures today. Shine-through is definitely something in my radar :)
Will shine-through be in the coming drop?
They would be an instant-buy.
I’ll talk about that with Drop.
What’s your recommendation on desk mat matching the /dev/tty2 keycap set?
the same as any keycap set: pure black :)
Cool. Can’t wait to get the tty2
Very excited about the Bleached set! Absolutely count me in for a set of those!
To be honest, I’d be even more excited about a variant of fully white set without beige. It’s always a pain to figure out how to get white F5-F8 caps without buying two separate sets. :(
The addition of a Bleached Numpad would be super awesome as well!
Also hoping for UHK support! Looks like 1.75 space bar would be my biggest ask :)
https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/layout-and-keycaps
I check this blog page, this page https://drop.com/buy/56051, and my email at least twice a day for when I can buy these but it still hasn’t happened yet.
Any idea when I can? I guess I could buy the 1800 and the Ortho pack but then I still wouldn’t have all the keys I need (like split space bars) and that seems like such a waste for my 65% keyboard.
Our goal is having them ready in a month from now, but you know… only a pandemic could stop us!
Thanks for the update.
Any guess as to how long they will take to ship after Drop lists them?
they will be readily available!
Wait, you mean this round (/dev/tty2) will not run in the standard GB format, where you place an order and then wait 2 years to receive it? :-)
yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying :)
So ready for this, thx
Two suggestions:
1. LED-windowed lock keys
2. IBM 5150 style wide keys.
Is “> /dev/null” happening? If so, any chance for an R2 1.5u “/dev/null” too if it fits?
Any chance we can also have Prev and Next multimedia keys in R0. I see the play/pause & mute & vol up & vol down are already part of the Lost + Found set.
Also, might be a stretch, but any chance of function keys (F1, F2, etc) with side printed multimedia keys in R0?
Thanks in advance. Looking forward to the release!
the keys are more or less finalized. I may be able to add a new key or two but not much more. I will post an update in the coming days.
Really hyped for the side printed kit, it will help the previous buyers of the set to complete their looks :)
Any news on pricing yet?
Looks really good! Thanks for doing this.
waiting for a production sample any day now
Hi Matteo,
I’m a bit confused! Is this the same as the one on drop (ready for preorder)?
https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-mt3-dev-tty-keycap-set
The one available for preorder now has the 1800, TKL, 65, & ortho kits available…
Or… I’m missing something… and the link I posted is for an older version (r2)?
I’m using mt3 Godspeed, and I love mt3, my fav profile and I’m looking for more. Thank u!
the new set is not ready yet, but I guess it will be published on that very same page.
Thanks for getting back so soon, Matteo! I went back to study the keysets, and i notice that for the ortho kit, the one currently listed, the bottom row is R4!! With this new set, it’s R5, like the godspeed! The R5 makes a world of a difference! This will be worth the wait
Is this the same set that just went up for pre-order here?
https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-mt3-dev-tty-keycap-set
If so, how do I order the other modifier kits?
not yet, gotta wait another few days
You the man! The drop page is live and I see > /dev/null in LOST + FOUND kit! Thank you so much ;-)
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan it’s gone
lol guys, it’s going live real soon :)
Did it just sell out? I don’t see that as an option here https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-mt3-dev-tty-keycap-set
they reverted the page to the old tkl/ortho/1800 page
I guess it was a premature go live and they took it back hah.
Where will the base kits (and modifiers) be sold? The images on https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-mt3-dev-tty-keycap-set do not include all the keys shown in https://cdn.matt3o.com/uploads/2020/01/base-kit-1536×698.png (Eg flat R5 keys & Ctrl / Alt / FN/ Menu in R4 etc). Please clarify.
It’s live at Drop! Kits are under the dev/tty page. Select options at checkout. Thanks Matt3o!

Wasn’t expecting that. :(
I have/had a pending Drop order for dev/tty TKL set. Just cancelled it to make sure all keycaps color match, plus base set in new run has more keys than previous and it’s $15 cheaper. (What am I missing?) Ended up getting way more extra pieces than I will use just to have flexibility in the future. So stoked this became reality!
Any chance of pre-order for delivery to Russia?
you gotta ask Drop about that. I don’t know why they had issues shipping to Russia in the past.
Just ordered base, numpad + international. Getting closer to the endgame :D Very exciting!
Can I ask, why you chose Drop for this (and previous) releases? Are you based in the US? Where are the caps produced? Just wandering ’cause Drop is always expensive to order from, when shipping to Europe (+taxes etc).
Many thanks again!
no I’m not US based, but Drop was the only one interested in making them
Guessing Drop “dropped” them without telling you?
Is the October 19, 2020 delivery date accurate? Did Drop change their minds on the immediate delivery?
Is this collection finalized? No shine-through?
yeah it’s always like that with Drop :P
1U Menu key has been removed from Extra Mods? See that they’re now in the base kit, but purchased the 1800 kit recently, so would have to re-buy the base kit to get that one key.
In Lost and Found, no 1U vendor’s keys? No hope of shine-through this go around?
I’m trying to have some samples for shine-through, but it won’t be possible this time around. I’ll see if I can add 1u vendors keys but I’m afraid that would be a lot of keys
Thanks for trying.
Would be great if you could share pics of the shine-through samples when they arrive.
oh I will, don’t worry! :)
so was this https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-matt3o-devtty-custom-keycap-set the correct drop after all?
I skipped it because you said to wait a few more days but the newer one https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-mt3-dev-tty-keycap-set doesn’t have modifiers kits.
this is the link https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-devtty-custom-keycap-set#overview
I wasn’t sure where Drop would have placed the new drop
cool, that look great now
Seriously Row 3 Control needs to be in the base kit. The extra mods kits have nothing I need except that one key. Typically sets have that in the base if there is tsangan support as well.
Is there an ETA at all on the blanks or side prints?
Is there a possibility of having the Japan kit available with the modifier keys in Triumph colour scheme?
I made the japan kit without mods so people who got previous runs could take it without keys they already have.
I think I might have used the wrong term and caused a misunderstanding. I was actually referring to those grey keys in the kit .
oh sorry, my bad. It’s a very niche kit, I wanted to keep it as cheap as possible.
Hi matt3o,
did you make the different layout/kits as shown here with the keyboard-layout-editor.com ? And if so, could you share one of your setups (json input). Asking cause I want to create my own layout with matched colors and all … would be very nice! If not, would you share some color codes (especially white, grey and red)?
no, I don’t use keyboard layout editor
Are these two products going to have the same quality of keycaps:
https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-devtty-custom-keycap-set
https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-mt3-dev-tty-keycap-set
the manufacturer is the same. The quality should be the same. Color might even so slightly change from batch to batch. It’s the same with Signature Plastics too
Hey just wanted to say thanks for including the ergo option! This will be my first cap purchase since buying my ergo and seeing how you responded to all the requests really helped make up my mind. Cheers!
thanks for taking the time to write =^›^=
Hey I know it’s late but expressing extreme interest in side printed numpad. I can never remember where home and End are for my 1800 builds
maybe next time. thanks for stopping by!
It looks like I missed this one, but I’m very interested in /dev/tty because of the Japan Kit. Almost none of the group buys support Japanese keyboards, so if /dev/tty runs again with the Japan kit, I’ll buy it. I have two small suggestions/wishes regarding Japanese and Mac support:
* R4/R5 Mac-style Japanese input keys, for the Japan kit:
** 英数 key in 1U and 1.25U. I would really like to see this one.
** “かな カナ” key （similar to the OADG-style “ひらがな カタカナ” key）in 1U and 1.25U. Not as important for me personally because an existing key is similar, but it would be good for completeness and I would use it.
* Mac-style homing keys (on D and K instead of F and J)
I hope I get the chance to buy this set someday!
thanks for your feedback! Really appreciated. I’ll see if we are still on time to make some changes to the Japan kit.
Do you mind sending a few pics of keyboards with the keys you are suggesting? That would help with the design process. Thanks!
Really want that R3 CRTL key in the base kit and I would buy multiple sets for keyboards I use.
Damn I missed this. =(
I guess wait for another round? /r/mechmarket?
they will be available again
Just to echo what others have said, I think R3 CTRL is a must have in the base set. It’s pretty standard if you look at GMK or KAT.
Unfortunately I didn’t realize Extra Mods only includes 1x 1.5u SUPER. Again it’s normal to get 2x as it’s required for HHKB layouts and common with Tsangan or Alice layouts (when people use R3 CTRL). Needing to buy a second set feels a bit bad.
I think the R4/R5 CapsLock is a waste, I don’t know anyone using R3 CTRL that also uses a dedicated CapsLock vs putting on a layer instead if at all.
Question: are the split space bars concave or convex? Picked up a set of Godspeed split spacebars and was a big disappointed they were concave.
Didn’t mean for that to sound too negative. Just wanted to provide some feedback on the kitting, still looking forward to receiving /dev/tty as I’ve been loving the MT3 profile since picking up Godspeed.
It looks like this will now fit an NK65 or Tada68. But I missed the group buy. Will this come back?
I’m sure it will!
In the Unicorn set, is the red R2 key a “reverse-arrow tab” or a backspace? It didn’t make sense to be a backspace because even if there is a layout with a backspace of that size, the kits would normally include a red backspace anyway.
And I think FN and Menu should not be the same color as those two keys would likely be on the same side of the spacebar (in my case, right next to each other).
Personally, I’m currently looking to make a KBD75v2 keyboard (my first keyboard). I’m a fan of the look of the base kit, but I’m trying to get a R4 1.75u blank/custom key to replace the right shift – because I don’t use that key at all and plan to rebind for layers in my QMK configuration. Are there plans on having additional 1.75u blank or modifier keys in the “Extra” kit?
Will the quality/manufacturer be the same as dev/tty round 2?
I’m new to the keyboard hobby and am not aware of all developments during the past year. I’d like to know if /dev/tty was ever offered or will ever be offered in shine through form for 1800 keyboards. Thank you.
Hello,
Is there any chance those sets will be available again soon? Especially interested in Triumph variants. I would love ISO-FR, but would happily go for a bleached triumph + extra triumph if ISO-FR is never made.
Also, is there a quality difference between bleached and non-bleached (like thickness, texture, etc.)?
Lovely work you’ve made.
Cheers
blanks and printed keys are absolutely the same. I don’t know if there’s any plan for more /dev/tty. We have other sets coming so I don’t know if we have a free spot.
Ok, thanks for the fast answer!
