Let’s make this happen! I’ve been posting on Keebtalk to get awareness up. Looks like there should be several more orders coming in soon.

This looks nice. I don't see the rows listed anywhere though. Would be useful on the sale page.
Color sample keys should be ready on Oct. 15!
I thought I like the other current 'SA' GBs, but the more I look at yours, the more I like it! Not to mention what a great kit for $99 that covers most popular layouts. I am sure it would sell more if there aren't so many keycap GBs going on right now...
You have my support! :thumb:
PS. Homing scooped?
Nice! But what happens if we don’t hit MOQ? I’d still love to see the colour samples anyways.
PS. It will hit MOQ 🤞🏻

Samples will still be made, and i'll buy as many as I can.
In that case, would you extend the GB until after we can see the sample?
This thing looks so classy,
I hope I'll manage to get the money before the GB ends. I still don't understand why you decided to have only 15 days time span instead of usual one month period.

Sure. :)
It just so happens that I was drinking my coffee this morning when burgundy red Mercedes passes me by. It was the exact color of this keyset and it looked absolutely fantastic.
So yeah, now I'm gonna have to buy that car to match it to my keycaps. Just kidding. But I do wonder how would Royalty look in GMK.
Thank you! Please give us the official end date so that we don't miss it!
Any updates on numbers?

:D GMK would be interesting, but there's a two sets close to royalty so i'm not sure if i'd be comfortable with doing it in GMK.QuoteThank you! Please give us the official end date so that we don't miss it!

I'll get that to you tomorrow! :)
Maybe update your top post with the new end date?
We’re definitely getting there!
ahh so close, hope it hits!
Did I miss the sample on the 14th? Please show us, please! :)
Quick question. I noticed the arrow keys in the renders look different. In the more drawn out style showing the whole set they look like arrow tips with stems, and in the real life type render they look like chunky arrow heads with no stems on them. Which set of arrow keys will be used when they keys are produced?
I'm in. Woot.

Hey guys! I'm sorry, but we couldn't get samples to you on the 14th.
I recently bought a pantone color book of all their offerings, so I've had an oppurtunity to look at all the colors available in person instead of simply over renders/pantone's website.
The previous colors were:
Alphas: 491C
Mods: 504 C
Accents: 7413 C
Legends: 7499 C
The sample for these has been made and shipped out yesterday. Here's pretty much what happened:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/HtRCJyg.jpg)
I requested a revised sample for the alpha and accent colors. The other accent color was a very "burnt" orange, and this wouldn't have fit the theme of the set so I changed it from 7413 C to 1375 C.
I've also requested a sample of 492 C for the alpha color, because I'm not sure if 492 C or 491 C will look more like what I envision for the set.
I have pictures of the swatches, however, they're not 100% accurate in terms of color. They were taken under bright warm white light on a pixel 2XL.Here's the revised orange (Row 4 from top)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/8rudgb9.png)
Here are the two colors I'm deciding between for alpha color (Rows 5 and 6 from top)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/X8OJ8M6.png)
Here's the legend color (Row 1). I feel like this color (and accent + mods) is perfect.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/yuPdCDz.png)
Here's the mod color. (Row 6) It looks like brown in the picture- Rest assured, it is not brown. Please do not worry.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/6MMYJ0L.png)
Hopefully that cleared up questions about the colors. I'm sorry I couldn't get samples out to you guys earlier, but I hope these will be enough to tide us over in the meantime for people who were on the fence.
If you’re looking for input, from what I can tell I’d personally prefer keeping 491C for the alphas. I like the accent color change though and agree the mods should look nice.
At the end of the day it’s your set so obviously take or leave my input and work with your initial vision! Either way I’m excited for this set to happen.

I'm a little worried about lack of contrast so I figured it was best to have a lighter sample to compare with to make sure the alphas and mods are distinct enough. However, if there's enough contrast I'm going with 491C, as I like that shade of red slightly more. Thank you for the feedback!

Yeah the Kono store page needs to be updated as it’s actually running until the 21st!

So, I’ll share a story to prove I don’t mind looking dumb. Just three days ago, I realized why this set was named “royalty”. Yes, I knew it drew from Wes Anderson’s “Royal Tenenbaums”. But I didn’t realize you could read it like Royal T. As in Royal Tenenbaums.
See, I’m dumb.

Not gonna lie, this totally wasn't intentional and just happens to be a coincidence. However, thanks for pointing it out! The name came from both the Royal Tenenbaums and temples->palace->royalty.

Samples for initial four!
The orange looks surprisingly good. That's odd.

Awesome! These look really great from what I can tell. I’m assuming the alpha red here is the 491C?
The creamy/yellow for legends looks a bit greenish, almost like glow in the dark material, when it's by the darker mod color. Is it that way in real life?
I hope I'll manage to get the money before the GB ends. I still don't understand why you decided to have only 15 days time span instead of usual one month period.
Having a bit more time to look at the samples now I wonder if they seem a bit too warm and saturated? The renders and Pantone colours seem to suggest a bit more subdued colourway. It could also be just the lighting in the photos but what’s your take ye_cole? Are you happy with how they turned out? I think the mod and legend colours are pretty close but the alpha and accent seem a bit off. I know you’re waiting on a few others to compare to as well.
Edit: I should say that as a whole the colours look very cohesive and that’s probably most important!

The orange came out exactly how I thought the second orange would come out- so that doesn't really need adjustment. The mods + legends are also perfectly fine. I'm not sure about the alpha colors. I think i'll wait until the 2nd sample comes in to pass judgement on that.
The samples look a lot brighter than I expected, considering the renders and the pantone color book.
I wish both the mods and alphas were darker. It's a shame because the renders looked so good. I really liked how the colors were burgundy, but almost brown.

Can somebody explain to me are Maxkey's SA keycaps same as SP's when it comes to dimensions/shape/weight or do they have their own specifications?
I came across two different comments about SP vs. Maxkey's SA keycaps: one from Oblotzky on Geekhack (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=75607.msg2509787#msg2509787) and one from he.yun on Massdrop (https://www.massdrop.com/talk/1371/talk/1622234?utm_source=linkshare&referer=AV5F4D).
Where are those weekly updates you mentioned?
Hey guys!
Sorry, haven't checked GH in a while as I've been busy.
I haven't chosen a new alpha color- that's a misunderstanding. There are still samples being made for both alpha colors, and I'm waiting on those to decide.
I apologize for the misunderstanding!

However, as I've had more and more time with the caps on my HHKB- now when I reexamine the caps and compare them with the pantone swatch of 492C, I'm heavily leaning towards 491.
I apologize for the misunderstanding!
Hey guys! The factory just informed me that they wouldn't be able to make samples for those colors. I don't know why it took them 3 weeks, but they just said this today.
So- I'm going to be going with the 4 colors that I received. I've been using the colors on my board ever since I got them, and I really like how they look. I'm sure that nobody's going to be disappointed with how the colors end up.

Thanks for the update. Too bad about not getting more samples but it did seem like the first ones are good. If you have time would it be possible to just see the samples next to the original Pantone colours you picked? I’m just curious how they compare. Thanks!

Sorry, I don't think I can do that! I don't have access to the book anymore. I'll try and see if any local print shops have swatches, but if that doesn't pan out I don't think I'm going to be able to do that.
45 days draws near. Any word from the manufacturer?
Shipment goes out this Wednesday! Pics requested from maxkey, but no guarantee.

OR, it could be months as they slowly float across on a container ship only to be stopped in customs...
Just kidding, hope they're here soon to swag out my ****.
Caps should arrive at their warehouse next week, they're in customs rn

Did you guys see the burgundy/maroon the cerakote shop came up with in this thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=99013.msg2715683#msg2715683)? I'm going to have to find a case to cerakote
I just got my shipping notification!
That's some slow-ass UPS shipping. Estimated to arrive 7 days after processed :eek:
I got mine yesterday! They're looking mighty nice. I don't have a permanent board in mind for them just yet.
But I may have to throw them on something temporarily to give them a spin.
Mine arrived yesterday! Well all I can say is how nice. I intended to put these on my dark red CA66, but recently I bought a BOK.CP antique copper, which I think will be a match made in heaven with Royalty. Only that will arrive after March, so more waiting for me!
