Alright everybody, close to final updates are here!

I am sending it over to Signature Plastics tomorrow for pricing tomorrow, so please, tell me if you have any suggestions left.

I decided not to include the Chrysanthemum for now as the child deals were getting kind of ridiculous, and having another mold would
not be good for pricing (on top of the extra keys it would warrant). I thought this would be a preferable trade off.

Are there plans to include a 1U '00' Key on the Numpad? I noticed you had a 1U '0', but no '00' which seems kinda strange.

HekusuTekusu · « **Reply #151 on:** Fri, 11 March 2016, 21:51:53 »

The prefectures sealed the deal for me. Hopefully everything is going great. So far all the novelties seems to fit with the general idea of the set. Liking this alot.

What layout uses a 00? I know I have seen it before, just wondering.

The most immediate examples off the top of my head are the Keycool and Realforce Numpads. The reason I asked was because I have a Realforce Numpad with Novatouch sliders.

A friend of mine had very picky tastes when I was trying to get him into the hobby, and when I asked him what colors he would like to have on a keycap set,
he helped me create a palette for Hana (called Sakura back then). So I guess in the end he'll get what he wants (that is if he gets the set

)!

Extremely attractive stuff, definitely interested. Looking forward to seeing how the Matcha set serves as an accent to the base set.

Alright everybody, it has been confirmed! The group buy is happening in about two weeks, on

April 6th,

through Massdrop.

Thanks to everybody for the interest and critique! I hope I got everybody's needs covered.
If there are any final things I might have missed, now is the time to tell me! I don't have much time to change anything

Most likely pad printing, it would cost a lot of money to make the tooling for custom doubleshots

pad painting IMO. Double shot will make it kinda expensive.

Probably around 1 month, as with most Massdrop keycap group buys. I would expect it to end around the start of March / end of April.

Looking at the mockups one more time to make sure I know what I want before tomorrow

Once I get home tonight (around 9pm PST), I will be updating the mockups as there were some changes due to SP requirements.

They were:
- Making the bamboo novelty nicer/thicker
- Making the Japanese characters nicer/thicker
- Fixing up some prefecture novelties (and substituting one which was nearly impossible for SP to print with another one).
- Changing spacebar designs to be 1.5in in length (they will be pad printed by the way!)
- Changing the ISO novelty enter to fit requirements (sorry about this, it isn't as cool

)
- Adding some more keys to the Matcha set (this was not required by SP)

No major changes, just thought I should let you know what to expect.
