Thanks to the power of Twitter, I've received some amazing feedback and have made some major changes to KAM Soda Squid!
DesignI’ve slightly adjusted the legends for the delete, scroll lock and home key. Also added a This Way and Booyah! novelty key.
KittingThe responses in the IC form have asked for separate kits for the base, numpad and novelties. I’ve also added a spacebars kit for better layout support. My vision was to make the base be as close to the original source as possible. One of the key points of the source is the yellow splat so I’ve decided to keep the yellow and blue splat novelties in the base kit.
DeskmatsThe people have spoken and the 2 deskmats that have won the popularity contest are Spilled Lemon Soda and Squid Party. There were some really great deskmat suggestions, however, I’m only able to run 2 deskmat designs.
SamplesMy Pantone chips are finally on their way to me so round 2 of samples will start very soon.
There was some really great feedback in the form and I’d like to respond to a couple of popular suggestions that I am unfortunately not able to implement.
More
Pink and Green / More colours / Dark Alphas
KAM Soda Squid has 7 colours and even that is quite a lot for a keycap set so I’m unable to include more colours. Doing so will also make it easier for KAM Soda Squid to hit MOQ. The same goes for dark/black alphas. It would look really cool though!
Black version of the Spilled Lemon Soda Deskmat
I did render this out and it looked really cool! But unfortunately, I wanted to reduce the number of deskmats I’m running alongside the keycaps so this unfortunately won’t be made. I may possibly run a small run of alternate deskmat designs after KAM Soda Squid is over. My favourite was the gradient deskmat and I’m so sad that it won’t be running
More Language Support
I’ve decided to not create more kits for broader language support. I understand that this excludes a large group of people, however, this is my first keycap set and I’d like to keep things simple and make sure it’s successful before running a set with more kits.
Thanks again for all the support and any feedback is greatly appreciated!
