I don't get why the legend color for dark mods is different than dark alphas. I really love how the alphas look in the base kit, but for someone who wants to dark mods plus dark alpha, the color switch could(base on preference ofcourse) be a huge turnoff.

I also raised this recently.
But in the new  google IC form you can vote for the yellow legends on the dark mods.

I really hope enough people will vote in this new IC, but I agree that I don't really see the logic behind the white accent on the dark mods.
It really should be the same color as the alphas.

Imo I'd be careful with the yellow legends. If you're going for yellow legends on dark mods I wouldn't want it to interfere with sets like Stargaze..

kowalski. status report.

  • Kitting is finalized.
  • Novelties will be done soon.
  • The deskpad is almost done. The artist is putting the final touches on now.
  • The colors are just about finalized. (I'll be sending them to my bag and cable collab soon)
  • Board renders lighting has been fixed, but they will be posted when I get the novelties done.
  • I ended up going back on my word on the discord server (I got a couple of DMs on reddit asking for updates, so im thinking it will be better to stream line everything). Just making sure all of the server settings are correct before posting links to it. I still plan on having an email newsletter type of thing for those who prefer it

I expect to have all of these to be done by the next major update (May 1st).

good job kowalski.

Pictures of the Pantone swatches have been added.

And thanks to the 60/40 split I will be doing Navy modifiers with yellow legends and there will be a matching Novelties kit to go along side it.

The colors you stated is Pantone 2001 U. The swatch you show is 7401 U. Is this a mistake or is this just a color you're using since you don't have 2001 U? Just saw the color mismatch and was curious.

With that said, I love the look for the new dark mods, and I'm loving the novelty design.

I’d really like to see more renders of it without the yellow mods, since that’s how I’d use it!

Is it too late or impossible for a Hangul sublegends kit? Rarely see any with it and I was thinking this would be the perfect set for me if it has it! Way cleaner than japanese sublegends on such a clean set like this.

Just found this, love the set! Any news? I hope this is still in the works?

Would you consider breaking out the yellow arrow keys, escape and enter as a separate kit or add them to the dark mod kit? I would prefer the totally inverted set, with dark mods and light alpha. To complete the look, the yellow keys from the base set are needed.
Don't really wanna buy base just for that...

Yes we do... just look at any recently delivered ePBT set.


If you're looking for someone to sum it up for you: they will have slightly less crisp lines than GMK, but they will still look very nice from the regular viewing distance of a keyboard.

Hi everyone,
I am very new to custom mechanical keyboards and completely new to group buys. I absolutely love this set, and I am thrilled that it will be possible to have it in ISO-FR. I want to make absolutely sure that I do not miss it when the group buy happens, and I wanted to ask you if there was anything I could do to ensure that I receive a notification to purchase it (as I am not sure I will be visiting this site regularly -- ofc I will still do so as much as possible to be safe). I completed the IC form and added my email, but I am not sure if that means I will receive an email notification when the group buy happens. Is there anything I can do to not miss it? I have joined the discord server as well.
Thanks, I very much look forward to being able to order the set!

I've seen this exact comment around a bunch (or some variant). Almost feels like a bot comment, but maybe it's just a common question for new GH folks. Either way: welcome!

Look at the top of the thread. You'll see a watch and notify button -- click both. Go to the "Notifications" tab in the top bar -- change the settings to meet your desired behavior. You should also see a section called "Current Topic Notifications" which should now include this thread. You'll now get thread updates sent to the email you registered with GH (maybe you want to test this out on a more popular thread).

OP will likely update the thread when the GB starts, but those emails should at least keep you up-to-date with the thread activity.

As a side note, this IC is being worked on but not commented on all that much. Don't be discouraged if this takes a while to get from IC to GB.

Thanks a lot for your help rubik, I really appreciate it.
