The set looks great! I think this will be the endgame keycap set for all the different layouts I want to try since there are no legends. Maybe it's finally time to try DVORAK? 🤔
I wish there was a light desk mat to match the light base, though!

Hi biip,

Can you provide a comparison with Dots 1? (matter, thickness, profile, colors…)
I have the Dots 1 and I wonder if I can mix :)

thanks

Honestly, with all these garbage sets and weeb sets getting pushed into GMK's factory. This should take priority. First decent set to come out in quite a long time. Excited to add the white to my r1. Everyone spam GMK till they pushed this through to the front of the line!

This is the coldest take I've seen on GH in a long time. If anything, its crazy popularity will make it so that the manufacturing time is considerably longer.
No need to **** on other people's sets just to complement another. Could say something like "I really like the white base kit, thanks for adding it to compliment the original!"

Love that the Rainbow dots kit is essentially enough for a full ortho. Have some 1u spacebars lying around too, so it's pretty awesome buy on its own for split and ortho lovers. Thanks for doing this Biip! :)

+1 nice work on picking up so many extras, should curb the flippers and make it easier for newer people coming into the hobby to be able to get it.
