I love it but no yellow enter is a big miss for me, + concerned about pricing with so many colors also

Love the theme.  Not the biggest fan of the two tone yellow here

Did you try a light or medium gray for the mods?  Seems like it would still look sporty, vintage, and industrial.

Best of luck, sir  :thumb:

I hope Fredington thinks on this.  Even a single color of yellow would be an improvement IMO.  I love fun sets like this, and I really want to buy it.  I adore my DCS Turtle Power caps.  This is just as radical.

Mono yellow is a possibility, perhaps with the accents moved into their own kit.

However, yellow alphas and gray mods was the first color combination I tried, and I was not a fan. More importantly, it takes away the opportunity for the blue SPORTS on a yellow background novelty, which I feel is central to this set's identity.

If you go mono yellow base, does that number of colors in the accent/extension kit run the price up on a low MOQ kit?

The presale is indeed live over on SPKeyboards.com. The deskmat should be live soon and there may even be a metal artisan.

The main changes have been moving to mono yellow (YCU) and lightening up the dark gray a bit (GVB).
