how would this set look in real lighting? these renders give me the impression that the legends are lit by led in a dark gamer cave

I've got some more renders with a less dark setup coming to show the set better.

Lovely set!
Still thinking if the deskmat is a bit too much for me...Any chance for a design which doesn't include a huge dragon on it? :)

If you are going to do some more renders, please consider Iron 165's plum version for one. Interested to see how these two could match together with the base kit and a couple of accents :thumb:

Hey Ren. This is a long shot but here goes. Would you consider using the Zhuyin/ Alt Alphas in the main kit if the demand was there? I have been growing fond of one base color for mods and alphas. The aesthetic is just 👌.

Absolutely love this set. Would like to see more novelties (I think a fireball of some sort would be cool) and preferably an expanded micro kit to support minivans if possible.

Zhuyin alphas would be a must for me with this set. I wish the red on red was the default colorway in the base kit.

The word '西方龍' is not accurate and not match with the actual concept as others has suggested, but happy to see the OP is going to adjust it.

He mentioned somewhere on Reddit that he went with "西方龍" to represent the "Dragon of the West", which is the title given to Iroh in the show. I think that inclusion is a really nice touch.

I think that's what they meant. Like an all-black base with red legends. Also, shameless plug:

Hey Ren. This is a long shot but here goes. Would you consider using the Zhuyin/ Alt Alphas in the main kit if the demand was there? I have been growing fond of one base color for mods and alphas. The aesthetic is just 👌.

If enough people vote for dark grey mods kit then it would be possible. If enough express interest here then I will make a poll for them and if that gets enough votes then it could happen.

I'd like to see a poll primarily for colors, regardless of legends. Based on what I've witnessed here, on Top Clack and in various Discords, I suspect all red-on-red or all red-on-gray might be very popular options, perhaps even more so than the current base colorway.

zhuyin alt is fantastic for offering both sublegends and mod colors. i wouldn't change a thing but a poll would definitely tell what people want. but i think the set would lose charm if it gets boiled down to all red on black.

Firstly, I love the set.

Nonetheless, I would like to make a few comments. IMO, the alphas should be the same color as the mods. I feel the black/dark gray clashes with the rest of the set. Moreover, I believe the Zhuyin set should replace the base alphas. The whole theme of this keyboard and with how deep you've dived into the Avatar lore with it, I think it would make sense and people will not mind the Japanese sub legends.

The novelties are amazing. IDK what else to say. The White Lotus tile, the dragon enter key (for Iroh, the Dragon of the West), the tea pot, the Avatar Aang face, the Prince Zuko face, the Blue Spirit mask, it is all literal perfection. I am assuming a RAMA cap is also going to be offered with this set. I cannot wait to see it.

I also want to comment about the deskpad. The design is beautiful, great work. However, specifically speaking about the red dragon deskpad, I will mention that the text over the dragon's tail is not appealing and ruins the aesthetic. Consider changing the text, preferably to match the other deskpad, the golden dragon deskpad, text on the bottom right of the deskpad.

Ultimately, I am going to be buying this set. OFC, I would hope that the suggestions I made become a reality, but nonetheless.

I see, thank you. I'll impatiently wait for the poll to reopen.

Nonetheless, I also wanted to ask about artisan collabs? I think Latrialum would be a nice match here. Consider reaching out to Meika at Latrialum for a potential collab, as well as other artisan makers.

I will second the notion that the alphas should match the mod color.  I like the look of the Zhuyin kit, but don't really like the base as standalone.

Supporting the sentiment that the Zhuyin kit matches the underlining theme of the set and should probably be the base with a West kit add on. Also agree that the alphas should be the same colour as the mods (red on red).

Why does it say "western dragon" in Chinese? It does not make sense in so many different ways..

because of Iroh in the anime. the uncle of Zuko. as those are the two main characters from the Fire nation. if you dont count the Avatar before Ang. anyhow, he was known as the dragon of the west. and remember that our world and the world in the anime is not the same. so the west in that world is the fire nation.

I know the theme is more towards the dragons, but prior to the IC I was really hoping to see some sort of fire nation balloon/warship novelties, and maybe a fire nation insignia incorporated, although I understand if some of those symbols would have to be licensed or if you just like the dragon theme more. That said, the IC looks really clean and I'll probably end up joining anyway, hoping for a RAMA cap since I missed out on Mizu's RAMA cap.

The war balloon may be a good idea for an ISO enter key.

For the Dragon Kit, instead of using the word 'Fire' in Chinese, maybe use the word 'Dragon'.  I just think it would look cooler.
