Thank you everyone for your patience and support regarding the Rainy Day artisans. I had set expectations to get these to you all sooner so I apologize for the wait. I am happy to say that they are here and I am ready to share them with you and gather your thoughts and feedback!

Any and all feedback is welcome but I want to lay out that I really wanted the artists perspective from the collaborations. So there probably won't be significant changes in their offerings. But I am the designer behind the RAMA offering so if there is anything you would like to see different about RAMA and I's offering, definitely speak up in the thread and/or on the feedback form at the bottom of the post. Thank you!

Did not join the keyset gb, but well done with these artisan collaborations. Looks great.

Well I was hoping to get away with only buying one of them... Guess that plan is now down the drain. Nice job on following through with this Owl, those of us in the GB really appreciate it.

My personal build for Dolores is a full color matched board with this set, mat and cable. I'm so pumped. These are all great everybody.

Really love the brutalist sculpted artisan, very cool.

Not sure if it was the intended interpretation, but it looks like a lightning bolt to me which is perfect for the theme.

Love them all, but especially the Brutalism one. Reminds me of drips descending on pavement, concrete meeting concrete at strange and melancholy angles.

Just curious is this the Aztec color in the configurator or are you doing something custom? I put in more of a Robin's Egg blue in the IC form IIRC..

I very much like the brutalist inspired Rama, looking forward to what the keyset looks like when it delivers!

Can pretty much guarantee I'll be getting the Brutalist RAMA at least, and will try for the Tearos if I can. The pairings just work so well!

Although I also have a bit of a hard time seeing the connection to the Rainy Day set, the brutalist-inspired RAMA looks very nice and I am very likely to get it once it is released. Nice work! /Johannes

Some are the same and some are different. Will update the vendor list for the RAMA here shortly.

That brutalist RAMA is going to sell like hotcakes just as the GMK set did. Absolutely worth the wait.

Any possibility of offering them in Aluminum instead? The brass caps are always way too heavy IMO.

Is there any way to make sure that zFrontier will offer the caps on their English-format site? Because that's my only reasonable option when buying in Asia.

I know MKEU was the vendor for all EU with the keycaps, but since the UK is no longer in the EU it might be good to have a UK vendor for these.

The Novelty Artisan will be in Aluminum.
