[IC] KAM Wraith

[myyrddraal]

how bout mt3

There is too small surface for it. Besides the surface is also too curved to let the complex legends shine.

XDAS ('squared' XDA) is the only other similar profile, with a big enough top to fit the sublegends. It's got a matte finish too.

i kinda like the shiny but i can see it wouldn't be a thing for everyone, glad to see this moving! i sure do like how it looks on this profile

[adxlk]

seems doable for mt3

Gonna have to slap a big “Doubt-It!” On that one lol

Just Fitting This:



Onto that key and making it match the adjacent legends seems pretty difficult.

Have you seen all the legends? The KAM/Kat is the smallest possible surface imho

Sorry that shiny KAM finish is too much for the project. I really like it, but can understand why it would not be appropriate for this project.

[haitacxyz]

I'm definitely joining for the KAT Wraith. Already have a KAT Alpha for mine and I can't have any complaint about it.

[biip]

Well, I chose KAM because of the large surface.
Sadly I had to work with the KAT template that's why the legends are so tight...
Keep in mind that this a prototype

I thought about KAT R3 only (to keep the "uniform" look), but I'll have to check the top surface.
IIRC overall dye-sub on KAT isn't easy because how dug the keycap is.
I'm still working on the project and trying to find solutions with Keyreative tho!

Such a pity. I am out. I really hoped this could have been the ultimate keyset.

What do you mean? I’m just trying to get a correct final product.
The initial design had matte finish. The samples are glossy. Even if some people like the result, I need to see how it would look with an accurate result.

I hope you can understand that

You mentioned earlier that KAM is available only in glossy finish. So i took it as a fact KAM==glossy. And please please don't take it as a criticism or whatever. Do whatever you find the right way. If there is a chance for KAM in matte that would be THE killer keyset ( of course only for my small individual :-) )

Oh well I kinda misunderstood then my bad ahah!
But yeah, as I said I really want the set to fit the ZX Spectrum aesthetic and I’ll do my best to reach my objective

[Rayndalf]

G20 would also be some kind of option. Not sure how it would feel in use, but it worked well for Semiotic (similarly dominated by large legends with a rougher texture).

While G20 is the next thing to the original shape of the ZX Spectrum rubber pads it provides good feeling only on very few keyboards. It would decrease the sale pitch of the set drastically imho.

Can you elaborate? I'm typing on G20 right now (Iris keyboard) and it feels amazing, curious what makes G20 feel good/bad

Planck with pink kailh: meh. Anything standard staggered (full size mx clears, 68 with burn oranges) really meh (could not of course try fully but everything 1u). Chimera ergo with MOD-M tactile: so, so. But dactyl manuform (Outemu Skies v2.2 no led opening so less wobble) was very pleasant. I suppose for me they need tenting. Building corne now, plan to try them on T1s.

From the KAT Milkshake thread:

...
I'm also trying to find a solution for Wraith. Oh wait… I have one 👀 Stay tuned for that one!

There's only so many projects a person can handle at once, though. Seems like this might be further down the pipeline than Milkshake.

I'm one user of G20 too and I do like it, though... right now I don't use it.


but is it even possible to make this set in G20? I don't think SP do reverse-dyesub.

Yes, I have to rework kits a bit but we will be able to get mate finish on KAM profile. More info soon.

Are there convex 1u molds for planck space"bars" in KAM profile?

[Willhurt2008]

want that set, never tried KAM, willing to try!

[biip]

I received new samples with a matte finish!
I'll post a massive update hopefully next month

I'll make a potato pic of em tonight since it's night when I leave my work's place…
I might be able to shoot this weekend by daylight tho.

The surface is awesome, and the dye-sub is what I expected. I'll some new color samples but I think I've found a solution to make this set become real!

So glad to see they can do matte.  Looking forward to the photos.

Yay, I really hope this moves to GB soon! Can't wait.

[Senor Coconut]

Same Here. Very excited to join the GB.
Would you considere an extra  "Wraith baguette" kit?
