Hats off to you my friend! This is absolutely stunning. Thank you for adding so much value to this kit. So excited.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the R3 cap? Looks like a fruit or a half eaten pizza. :))

My guess would be a Japanese fan

But please correct me if I'm wrong

Ding ding! We have a winner!

haha chinese hand fan looks like that too.

Torii on R2?

I was hoping to use on R1. I'd be happy to see it swap with the biip logo for the R1/R2 spots

At least we are getting it I guess.

Any movement on potential additions to the spacebar kit?

Paddel06 · « **Reply #253 on:** Tue, 12 March 2019, 19:13:46 »

I am a bit sad about the Torii placement as well, but I guess I'll have to accept it.

These 3 caps are extras so its all good!

Huge fans of the extra novelties. Thanks for listening to us biip and spreading the novelties out over the rows, those extra caps will help a lot for compatibility

As mentioned before, we (vendors and I) wanted to offer the most competitive price possible, which means the margins are really small. I talked about that with GMK and we came to the conclusion that adding large keycaps (or many 1u keycaps) wouldn't be a smart move. We had the opportunity to do that with the base kit because we hit the 1k MOQ tho.

All good. Just wanted to check.

I should receive the second bath of color samples in a few days.
On the first one, salmon and white were too pinkish.

biip · « **Reply #265 on:** Sun, 31 March 2019, 08:53:19 »

Still need small adjustments tho :slight_smile: But it looks really accurate.

Is the adjustment making the blue darker? Because salmon and white are pretty spot on, but the blue seems different from renders.

Yeah I want some test with a decreased hue and also less bright :thumb:
I will also ask for a slight more pink salmon.

MOON · « **Reply #268 on:** Sun, 31 March 2019, 10:25:52 »

I agree that the salmon and white look pretty spot on to me. I am happy with the blue as is but a bit darker might look really nice/closer to the renders. I am sure in real life it looks a bit different than photos too.

Paddel06 · « **Reply #269 on:** Sun, 31 March 2019, 10:47:09 »

It seems to me that the white is colder than in the renders.

AlcoholEnthusiast · « **Reply #272 on:** Sun, 31 March 2019, 12:48:49 »

Yeah agreed. Pinker pink, creamier white, and looks like a deeper/darker blue.

Though still very encouraging, it's definitely close.

Definitely agree. I think the white is easily the worst of the bunch. It looks very cold, like a light grey, instead of a warm creamy off-white.

Rayndalf · « **Reply #275 on:** Mon, 01 April 2019, 13:36:38 »

Given the lighting I think the red looks fine, but a little more saturated wouldn't really hurt

Pretty sure that the proxies will get extra sets to sell, you can get yours when they release.

geistmate · « **Reply #282 on:** Sun, 14 April 2019, 03:57:45 »

I hope the white will get adjusted, from looking at the samples. Renders have that really nice creamy, soft white that complements the other colors. That harsh, cold, white would make the whole set look really cheap unfortunately. Blue isn’t bad but could be a little darker with less saturation. Regardless, I’m confident the end result will look really good if the fixes are made.

First round buy is done, he’s just finalizing the color samples before it hits production. When the vendors receive the sets and get all of the GB kits shipped they will likely have extras that are available in limited quantity.
