I just got news from factory that after multiple iteration of production the danger key (the red one with black-yellow stripe) turned out not possible to be produced with 5-side dyesub. I will still leave the render of it here as I will try to make the danger key in another format, either metal cap or artisan.

I think the Add-on kit needs an additional 1.25 space bar or drop it. I just don’t know what out there requires only one 1.25 space bar (a couple split orthos use two of them, hence the suggestion to add one).
Alternatively, you could add a space bar kit.

It's a D.Va themed set that uses a font similar to the default font on Overwatch :cool:

damn that's polarizing; glwic nonetheless
That's part of the charm ;) Thanks!
Now THIS looks like a D.Va set. I’m in.

Ssssh not so loud :X
The 1.25 spacebar on add-on kit is the support for alternate Alice-style config where you use 2.00+1.25 on left side instead of 2.25+1.00, as for the actual split keyboard in my understanding 1.50u is more used as thumb key (like Sofle and Corne) and that's the 2x 1.50 are for. I'll keep up the input in mind tho, thanks for it!

It is indeed derived from a game! Thanks for the word!

This is not legal advice, but *me* identifying it as similar to a character, etc isn’t going to be an issue. You aren’t using the character name or icons, so Blizzard wouldn’t have a case that you are passing this off as official or coming from them.

Got it. Yeah, I was thinking of Corne etc as being 1.25, so if you say they use 1.5, then all set because you already have those like you said.
That makes sense to have the 1.25 to support for that Alice board; thanks for explaining. I guess my closet full of unused B keys will have some additional company.

I wouldn’t be so cavalier to dismiss people’s concerns. You’d be surprised who might be a lawyer, may work for a large company that has an interest in protecting their trademarks/copyrights, and might be part of the community. Just sayin’.

Not quite understand how IFK kitting work, but does the add on kit is an all-in-one kit or separate numpad, iso, 40s/ortho kit? Forcing those who need only numpad to also buy ISO & 40s kit is kinda "eh" to me personally.
Other than that, Gamer and Pilot kits looks appealing.

I will ask more people regarding the 1.25 or 1.50 for thumb key, in hindsight if people can actually use 1.25 for thumb key it can reduce the price too since we don't need the double 1.50 and just adding 1 extra 1.25
Clean IC, great presentation, nice work!

Thanks Ray! It is an all-in-one kit for extended support, kind of IFK way to make smaller kits reach MOQ. We all know nothing can beat ePBT/KAT/KAM way tho :pepehands:

The best execution of a video game inspired set. Just be sure you don't infringe any copyright.

I was going to suggest *adding* a space bar kit, that way you could have two 1.5s, two 1.25s, etc, whatever people need, but I’m guessing your answer to Ray means that *more* kits isn’t feasible.

IFK and overwatch ain't my cup of tea, however, I have to give you a lot of praise for the execution. The whole set is very coherent designed and looks damn professional. :thumb:

More kits is feasible as long as they are enough demand, but currently looking at the form nobody wants more spacebar options, I will gather more feedback and decide later.
I don't even play OW but this set looks super cute! I especially love the emote text bubble novelties ^-^ I'm curious to see how the colours turn out in the physical samples. GLWIC~
Yeah that novelties giving a good vibes on me too! I turned some of them into emoji in my discord ;D
I'm on the same boat with you, the factory said it almost done.
Thanks for the words!

Firstly, I'm more than happy for these colors because even it's not exactly accurate yet, they are on the "bright" side! I mean we are always under the impression that dyesub potential is always lower than doubleshot in term of color saturation (which I had my own doubt too for this set colors at first) but not anymore? because this sample said otherwise.
(https://i.imgur.com/e0kw9C2.jpg)
The sharpness is better than my last Sanctuary Rebirth R2 too (which is already better than Sanctuary Rebirth R1), at least on reverse dyesub keys tho. I already included the question and inquiry as to why the standard dyesub key (Tab) has lower sharpness than the reverse dyesub ones.
All in all, off we go to the second round of color matching!

Looks amazing! Can't wait
Me too :thumb:
I don't care the colors are not accurate. I like these colors more than the color reference cards. They seem very vivid.
Yes the vividness is something that caught me off guard too, but at the same time this color gives off that cheap, knock-off vibe when I look at it lol. I'm by no means need them to "exactly" looks like the refenrence card, I still open for slight variations but it's just not this one. So let's see in the second round!

Will update the thread later when I have a clearer direction for this set.
(No, don't worry, I didn't received anything remotely close to C&D letter)
Stay safe guys!

Due to unforeseen circumtances, this set is currently on hold.
No worries, my budget is also currently on hold. ;D
