This is a very Jelly Key update, and we are back with a stable team for quality product as well as stable production. Here is what is going on in the past few months and we would like to share with you.
Artifact series: Oasis, Raindance Temple, Abyss is one of the most challenging keycap that we have ever designed, and yes it caused us so much trouble
- Besides a batch of 200 Artifact series keycaps has been lost in transportation (you can read about it here)
- The handcrafting process of Oasis keycaps were harder and we expected
- It takes four majors step to create an Oasis Keycap, and each is extremely hard
- Putting wood layers together, and use sand paper to sharpen it into keycap profile. Each layer of wood need to be sanded to get the desirable thickness
- Casting first time with glow in the dark material insides
- Use sand paper and needle to obdurate small holes
- If we can’t fix or get desirable product outcome, we need to through it away
- Casting the second time with a transparent layer of resin
- Sanded and polished the surface
- Each step took us a lot of time and effort, and many unfinished keycap need to eliminated
- Jelly Cake is not easy as it looks to handcrafted, layers inside the cake were as hard as Oasis wood layer to be put together. To cast the outer layers we have to turn the mold 5 times
Shipping and tracking code
Since we stopped working with China Division, we have to move to other shipping vendor and slowly adapted with a new process and it embroiled our internal team as well. The consequence was some of the package got lot in transaction and we needed to send a new one, or some of the tracking code haven’t activated leaded to no information available. However, every has been sorted out in last week for every order up to The Type Writer.
