MBK Legend Glowを販売いたします＋MBK Legend GBの進捗報告
はじめに
8月となりオリンピックも後半戦に入り、夏真っ盛りの中みなさんいかがお過ごしでしょうか。先日の案内ではMBK Colorの案内をいたしましたが、今回はMBKプロファイルの刻印キーキャップセットの「MBK Legend Glow」の入荷をお知らせいたします。
MBK Legend Glow
MBKプロファイルの刻印キーキャップのGBを以前行いましたが、そちらはPBT製の昇華印刷による刻印のものでした。本製品はABS製のレーザー刻印によるキーキャップのセットです。119キー分のセットとなっています。セットに含まれるキーに関しては上記画像、及び写真でご確認ください。
なお本製品は当面試験販売となります。在庫限りでの販売となりますこと、および配送までに２週間ほど時間を頂戴することをご了承ください。
MBK Legend GBの進捗報告
前回の記事では8月発送予定とのことでしたが、その後FKcapsより再度連絡があり、キーキャップ工場との品質チェックにおいて問題が発生したため生産工場の変更を行っているとのことです。
本記事執筆時1週間前でのFKcapsからの案内は次の引用のとおりです。続報があり次第更新いたします。当初の予定よりだいぶ遅れており、ご予約いただいたお客様にはご迷惑をおかけしておりますが、今しばらくお待ちください。
Hey everyone,
Sorry for the long time it took to put this out there, I know it's been a while since the last update and many of you are waiting for MBK Legend keycaps, but we had a major setback that we wanted to make sure we could solve.
The dye sub supplier that we had carefully selected before decided to not carry on with the project. They knew we had high quality expectations from the get go, and agreed to do as many rounds of samples as necessary, but we were going back and forth with samples for a while (I lost count on the number of rounds we had), and it was getting longer each time between rounds until the news hit us.
Fortunately we had an alternative that we started to prepare weeks ago, when the first factory started being late. We received the first samples from the new factory last week and are super happy about it. The quality is much better than anything we had before, and we now have an improved color matching system. This makes us confident that the next round of samples coming in will be the final one! Finally.
I'll try to make a better job at posting updates in the future and am searching for a way to communicate more efficiently on GB status (either provide a solution for the community—i.e. other GB runners—or our own) and general project evolution, so if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks for your patience, I know GBs are delayed more often than not, and I wish this one would have been an exception but it won't be.
Once the final samples are validated we will get a timeline from the new factory and I'll post again with the final timeline to get the sets to vendors based on that.
