A dual gradient navy set themed after the night sky

This set is the brainchild of a unique idea I had; a dual gradient, one captured within the base keycap color, and another within the sublegend colors. The color scheme and naming is partially derived from the Tokyo Nights IDE theme, but the idea has since grown past an IDE set as we have seen before. I chose to go with simplistic kitting for this set, only a base kit, alpha kit, minimal spacebar kit (this kit will have MOQ integrated with the base kit), 40s kit, and a possible novelty kit.

NOTICE: I am aware that this set is full reverse-dye sub. I have chosen Keybee as my manufacturer because they have assured me that they will be able to produce crisp reverse dye sub without any warping. Before any of you keeb weebs give me your money, I will be receiving a full set of samples of this set in order to ensure that they can live up to this promise. If it is not up to my expectations (I hate misalignment and warping just as much as you!), we will figure it out from there.

Kitting







Thoughts behind kitting
More I went simple with this one. I didn't find an accent color that I liked for this set, so I instead opted to try to fit as much compatibility in the base kit as possible. The tiny-ass spacebar kit is just for those weird people who like things like 6u, dual 3u (dual 3u is based ngl) and need a few blanks for their spacebar kit. I anticipate it to be cheap and the MOQ will be integrated with the base kit in order to make sure that it is produced.

Deskmat- TBA? Possibly?


 GB Date/Timeline

Keybee's production has been said to take roughly 3 months after the GB ends. This is because there is sampling that is done before the group buy. Please read the note above about my expectations for these samples.
