● Intro ●

Hi everyone! Here is KKB Cobalt, my first keycap project. I have set out to release a set of keycaps because of the frustration I had seeing so many beautiful sets releasing (more specifically made of quality ABS) - but none in my local layout which I love, so I ended up asking myself "why not giving it a try?" and here we are. Of course, it doesn't mean that I'm not gonna support other layouts!
For the design I wanted to do something sober but with a slight flair, being inspired by GMK Blanc sur Noir I really wanted to see how the tulips would look on a deep blue set of keycaps, and boy I wasn't disappointed. Of course I got the ok from BsN's designer so no worries.
