that case actually exists! it was CA66 and they had a GB running in China like a month or two ago with Taobao

And, great work! hoq, would love to see more novelties tho

I love SA too, but ,due to the busy production schedule of SP, I don't think it's easy to make a SA keycaps now.
Maxkey is also good enough for daily use!

This looks nice. What profile are you going to be using?

I'm planning to use Maxkey, a SA-like high profile which made in China.

Yes, I'll make more novelties after I got more ideas.

Very interesting set, would prefer GMK is SA is impossible

[lovetree]

It's hard to adapt planck with MAXKEY profile I think, unless more 1u keys add.

[aptivaboy]

I really like it, although the brown might be a tad too dark compared to the rest of the colorway. It stands out a bit too much. Maybe lighten it just a bit?

Ok，I'll change to a lighter color for adapters. I have to think about what is better. a lighter brown or a darker pink？or some other colors....

[clappingcactus]

I thought the brown was perfect...

Yeah that's fine even if it's blanks

Hi, any update as to when this will go live maybe?

I will update some thing later.
As I got from Maxkey, this set will probably run after some other key sets such as : Lime, CalmDepth, Berserk.....

[hoq]

Hi, Since some people don't like that deep brown color of adapters, I change it to a light blue color, it makes the whole key set looks a little bit low contrast and feminine, but looks soft in color.

How about it?

[mogo]

I favor the colorway of the header post at the moment, with the black accent. Black like the beak! Lovely

[tacahiroy]

I prefer Brown one, blue one is kinda ok though

[clappingcactus]

The brown is better.

That's the deep brown color ,not black, haha.

"Black C" is brown? I mean... are you sure? It looks pretty much black on both of my monitors. Alright. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's just a Pantone color called "Black C", In fact, it's a deep brown color.......
may be I should keep the brown tone and just make it little bit lighter.

[bkw1209]

When start gb?

[hoq]

When start gb?

Maybe OCT. or later. Maykey is busy in handling some other key sets now.

I agree with you keeping the brown. But would like to suggest keeping Black C of original color way.
I think Blue was error and Brighter one also would lack of impact.
Hope the GB for this keyset to run ASAP.

[mgsickler]

Hmm. I think I like the blue one better. Both look pretty good.

Totally in the GB so count me in

Can we please have as set of Function keys that match the modifiers. I cant be the only one that dislike the alternating Fn colors.

Hi. Do you mean that F1~F4, and F9~F12 are the same color with modifiers?

Yes PLEASE!

Is Maxkey able to manufacture non-standard kits like Ergodox ?

No, they said they can not provide any other keys except 127 keys default base, only they can make some additional novelties.

Interesting choice to have the flamingo novelty on both the win key and the esc key, any reason why?

At first, I just put 2 1U flamingo novelties randomly there, because I saw some of the Maxkey keysets put cherry novelies  there,
I thought those cherry novelties can be replaced easily by designers request

But, today, I asked Maxkey , they told me their default Base layout always have those cherry novelties, just like this :


So I have to think about to add some novelties keys and special keys for a additional kit now.
I will revise the layout later.
