This light green colorway is the set I am always to look forward to.

Especially the creamy and vivid but pretty soft and pleasant to my eyes.

Sorry I could not find a more exact adjective to describe the green for alpha base color, however this is the one green that I want to get.

The light intensity poured out to the 3D render when rendering is a huge factor for us to determine which green in render is approximate to real keys.

If this green in the first render is the one with the decided light intensity you have set in stone already when rendering, I will join in this , definitely.

The render by thesis isn't colour accurate, it was just a first draft with no colour correction what-so-ever. I'm getting them redone with proper colours now though.

People say that, not realizing how much MD does for the runner, and how bad running a GB of this size is.  I'd rather MD all truth be told.  Less stress on the runner, and assurances that it is going to run through.

People are not looking past that fact at all, but Massdrop mostly caters to a single continent and the few enthusiasts around the globe. It is long past overdue, getting a European proxy warehouse. Especially for products that have to ship from Germany to the US and back to EU. It isn't even the Tax that is the real killer on most of these imports, it is the customs duty fee's that makes it obnoxious to import, e.g. paying 4 dollars tax for a given 2X dollar product, and another 27dollars in fee for their 'effort & time' checking the contents of the box in order to tax you.

This enthusiast scene could be so much bigger, and in my opinion, Massdrop is more of a hindrance now, as every major theme developer chooses to go with them over other vendors, and thus choose to exclude major parts of the world whom aren't die-hard enthusiast enough to pay these fees, duties etc.

They were not a hindrance beforehand, when they were developing the scene and growing alongside it, but being unwilling to adapt and expand, when you hold this much market share really is a killer, when much smaller companies are willing to cater to a broader audience. These vendors could use some love by major themed keysets too!

Massdrop is not the option for a large group buy; Massdrop is the option to make the group buy large. Let's face it, we all hate to pay customs duties or import fees but the visibility that Massdrop gives is unmatched and their customer support is great.
The only thing that really bugs me is that I can't pay the custom duties in advance but only cash to the mailman when it's delivered, and I wouldn't know the exact amount until that very moment.

That happened to me once and it was dreadful - luckily cash is no longer how it works in Denmark  :p

I disagree with "making big". I've accepted the custom fees & wait times, but the average European consumer just wont. EU Proxy would be marketing big.

Exactly.  Massdrop isn't stifling the community, they're giving it the opportunity to become larger.  Do you really think that SP and GMK would be looking at increasing their throughput without the guaranteed return because of massdrop?  There are major investments in increasing the manufacturing capabilities.  They wouldn't do that if they were looking at a possibly flighty revenue stream.  And the other manufacturers that are coming along as johnny come lately wouldn't be without the prospects shown by what MD has done.

Even looking at Whitefox and InputClub and Matt3o, the differences were philosophical and the production of the WF taught them things that they wouldn't have known other than through the experience with MD.

Looking at MD as the bad guy in this situation is only from a short sighted perspective. 

It would probably be better if there was someone with as much pull in other parts of the world.  Hopefully MD will get to the point where there is fulfillment overseas.  And even when they do, there will be hiccups, and they'll get excoriated for it.  But again, them scaling up will help the community if they do, or even if they don't as some tries to fill the gap.

Again, economies of scale.  There's no reason not to do both- support MD to get the community larger and the manufacturing capability up, and support the smaller buys too.  But one doesn't have to fail for the other to succeed.

Like?  That's guaranteed to deliver?  I use Keyclack and Originative and UK Keycaps even, but even with those, being honest, I know they're small operations with only a few people behind the name.  It won't take much to make a good buy go bad.  And even though I do support them, I go in with the expectations that things go wrong.  With MD, I don't have to have that risk factor.  I'll get my keys or my money, eventually.

I have a hunch that the European market for products from MD's other communities isn't big enough to justify a European distribution center.  It would seem the majority of people asking for an MD presence in Europe is from the mech community.

Anyway, I like this set. I'll probably buy it if/when it runs.

Knives would be quite huge in EU for massdrop, considering how hard importing those are (rules & regulations, tax etc.)

Where would you guys prefer this set be run through? Massdrop again, whom I have had a great experience with, or Originative who are a fantastic company with great people behind it?

My preference leans more towards Originative because I really like the company, and I want to see them continue to have great items. I'd be fine with Massdrop too as it's always my second option, and hasn't done me dirty yet.

I've had orders not arrive from Originative, and they have been unwilling to support. Even PayPal sided with them in the disputes leaving me $200 out of pocket as they had a tracking number that proved delivery - no signature or confirmation or name, but the tracking showed complete. I've now had it a second time for a $50 order - tracking has been showing the item stuck in California since 28th June, but they refuse to investigate until 28 working days have passed.

With these experiences in mind I'd rather assflop right now.

I like both Massdrop and Originative and know many of their staff personally - either one is okay with me.

However, especially depending on how you run the set, Massdrop will always offer the better prices I'd imagine - If you do the same as you did with Plum and run little to no novelties thus negating the need for a separate kit for them and basically just have the main set and that's it then I'm sure you'll have no issue hitting MOQ.

However if you plan on doing ergoplanck/int. kits and potentially novelties I see it massively benefiting from being ran through MD - plus, as said, the cheaper prices attainable for the base.

Yea like 130, good price but who knows if Honeywell wouldn't have hit like $110 or even $99 on MD? 30 bucks (even 20) is a big deal in the grand scheme of things, "low enough" doesn't mean optimal.

Mind I'm not arguing against Oco of course, I have nothing but respect for them and have supported them a bunch in the past, it's just that when it comes to sets that can be hugely successful being mindful of min-maxing when it comes to the business side of things is very relevant.

As for me, MD and OCO are both OK.
MD is like a business platform and attracts more audience from other enthusiasm fields. This provides more orders for this set and of course more profit for you, the designer, and MD.
OCO is a more professional platform in GMK GBs and Mr sherrton could provide more  useful suggestion on colorway and layout, although I think plum and necro are rather good in colorway match collocation. I prefer to the tantalizingly light base color of alpha no matter the plum or necro.

To be selfishly speaking, I perfer to buy this on OCO.  less people to buy , much rarer this set and more valuable in aftermarket.

I'd honestly prefer Massdrop since they'll reach the masses and will provide better prices.

OCo is a nice company, but at the moment I'm not having the best experience with them. Waiting almost a week for a reply to an email isn't idea after waiting almost a month (And still waiting) for replacements. :(

So, Massdrop please! :)

Edit: Plus I think we all know this will hit $99, since it's from Jessica, duh! :p

I think with how big the hobby has gotten 109 on MD is pretty realistic, I agree 99 would be hard since it's 1500 as said but still. Even a 10 dollar difference is a big deal.

Not to mention shipping prices are also colossally different for customers outside the US, back when I purchased Keyboard & Co through OCo I paid 32 dollars for standard international USPS delivery - I'm paying $13 for express DHL tracked ensured for Nautilus (week~ delivery), yet I would've had to pay around 30 bucks for DSA Hyperfuse (which I ended up proxying) last week; $25~ for USPS first class (7-14 business days) or 38 for DHL express (2-3 business days, admittedly very good value).

As said they've definitely improved but businesses like Keyclack, OCo, etc. can't really compete toe to toe with the prices Massdrop can provide.

That said, if OCo can set up a proxy for EU via Candykeys, then it'll definitely be cheaper for EU customers to buy it through them rather than Massdrop for obvious reasons - Solarized Dark was 125€ through MykeyboardEU and $135 through Keyclack, that's an almost 1:1 conversion, I'm gonna end up paying like 165€ for Nautilus (shipped) when all's said and done so a 40€ difference right there at the very least.

That said, if OCo can set up a proxy for EU via Candykeys, then it'll definitely be cheaper for EU customers to buy it through them rather than Massdrop for obvious reasons - Solarized Dark was 125€ through MykeyboardEU and $135 through Keyclack, that's an almost 1:1 conversion, I'm gonna end up paying like 165€ for Nautilus (shipped) when all's said and done so a 40€ difference right there at the very least.

It's already cheaper for EU customers without a proxy if massdrop isn't used because oco will mark down the value if you ask them to. No customs.

Not as significant of an amount though as you'll still need to deal with handling/storage/etc fees depending on where you live and/or if they check packages all packages that come from outside the EU (which Portugal tends to do, at least).

Plus I'd rather avoid that sort of activity if I can for obvious reasons, not to mention that certain countries' customs (like mine) take weeks on weeks to release international packages so having it ship from within the EU would bypass all those frustrating and boring issues. Half the time I end up having to drive up to their HQ for 45 minutes and wait 3 hours in line to have my stuff released if I don't want to have to wait 2 weeks for them to process it.

if there is some way to make those alphas glow in the dark i think this kit will be legendary. i am curious what was the influence here? was it a videogame or movie character?

None of my sets have influence the same way others do. I don't design a set to have a vibe, it happens naturally.
This set specifically has a very "cemetary, zombie" vibe to it. Undead kinda feel.

IDK if GMK has glow in the dark compatability but I suppose I could see, as it wouldn't hurt to ask.

well, if gmk doesn't have glow in the dark capability you should either put pressure on them to figure it out or start looking elsewhere.  i think "borealis" had glow in the dark capability.  (although i don't think they thought it through entirely and there was a technicality that made it a rather weak glow. and i have no idea if that was gmk or someone else.) nonetheless i'll buy it either way, but if it glows in the dark, this would set a whole new standard.  just saying
