So excited for this. Full sets are starting to become a problem for me price wise :(
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I looked but didn't see this answered. Is this the same brighter blue as what EK has correct? Not the darker blue used in all the RGB sets

Yes this is the same blue EK uses!

Should allow people looking for a few extra keys to buy some from them as well

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Anyways I am happy with the blue and ESC pack for the time being. What is the MOQ for the packs?

It should be 250 as the pack takes standard colors only.

Small packages like this are usually around $12 to $15.

Everybody will take one; even, those that do not have a Cherry set yet, would get one in preparation to get some mix and match fun. Those with an old Cherry set, already know it does not fit modern ANSI keyboards, and they know well a set like this will turn an otherwise incomplete set into a modern one that fits their recent acquired MX board.

Once I wake up tomorrow I'll submit the post. Then we'll have to wait for Hoffman to approve it :p

Gonna go ahead and announce it now:

The first 100 people to order sets will be put in a raffle for 10 color-matching bro bots. Each person can only get 1, so if you are one of the first people to get in this, you have a 1/10 chance of getting a sweet v2 to match this set :D

edit: just a heads up I did change the price to fully account for random fees and stuff that came up while doing cmyw :thumb:

Haven't heard back from them, but I won't change the cost.  The final set will include those caps though.
