Yes, og cherry icon everything

When you look down at your keyboard from time to time, do you make sure to take in the whole story behind the keyset, the inspiration, the designers feelings when pasting a hexcode into KLE? Props to you if you do, I just like pretty colors and couldn't care less what the story is behind the set.

By 'set with Art Deco design' I was pointing out that there are novelties that abide by a different design language than the Cherry icons do. So when I look at the keyboard with Noire on it, I would be seeing two different design aesthetics clashing on the same board. Props to you for being blind to that and caring only about muh cherry icons.

Our wonderful vendor Project Keyboards was involved in the design from its inception back in January, so we were very lucky to have his support from the start. I also prefer to bring a completed set to the IC phase, rather than a half baked IC, out of respect for everyone's time.

I've been in and out of love with this set the last month. The art deco story does help persuade me though.
Think it will look great om my U80 soya. However had another set in mind for that board, but copping that's not a guarantee.
So. decided to go full steam with base, novelties, brass salvun, deskmat.
RIP my bankaccount - 20201103  :p

Howdy all just wanted to give a quick holiday update! We are currently looking at late February/ early March delivery from GMK. Fingers crossed they stay on track!

Preorders are still available for extras on Project Keyboard and Daily Clack. I strongly suggest preordering soon if you'd like your order to ship when the set lands and if you'd like to avoid the extras rush.

Happy Holidays all, see you in the New Year <3


Edit

Due to new plastics shortages, we are now looking at April delivery

Hello all! A happy update- the first of our vendors has received tracking for their order. It looks like we are on time for April delivery of our set to our vendors! Please make sure to update your addresses as more vendors receive their tracking for their shipments.

I will post as close to a color accurate photo as I can as soon as I get a set in hand.

It’s finally real y’all  :cool:

Unfortunately a our non- NA vendors who allowed for Pre-Orders have sold out of extras. Most likely what they are referring to. I will do my best to announce extras as they go live, best bet if you are on the hunt for those is to be in our Noire Discord channel.

Our EU Orders Have Shipped, and US is nearly finished as well. Keep you eyes on your specific vendors announcements channels for specifics on your timelines.

Excited to see these delivered! Everyone seems extremely happy with their sets so far, I'm so glad we could deliver a product you will love <3
