This is obviously not for me really. Please make sure that all of your legends have the same height/gutterspace for consistency sake. There are a lot of inconsistencies that look odd.

I filled out the IC form and now Satan is on my doorstep asking for my firstborn.

Is this doubleshot or dyesub PBT? Also an ISO enter novelty would be nice.

Still getting used to the influx of manufacturers. MW "Milkyway," right?

Yes

the idea is nice but there are lots of inconsistencies and the kitting renders need work also please label the keys longer than 1u glwic.

GIVE IT TO ME NOW. Seriously, I want this to mesh with my Sanctuary Rebirths.

nice

the set itself isnt really my jam but the churchfire and skeleton deskmats are real neat

YES! ITS HERE! IT LIVES!!

Please put that feedback in ic form, I would love to fix any issue there is but saying to me that there are lots of inconsistencies and kitting renders need work don't really tell me much. Thank you :)

Great, looks like I'm picking up another red and black set. My wife almost spit her drink out when I showed her the church deskmat.

At $95 the base kit being named "greed" really does make sense.
Do you not care at all about shrinking and warping with reverse dyesub?

The set itself is not for me, but I can absolutely see how well it matches the aesthetic you were going for. Loving those deskmats, GLWIC! :thumb:

My KAT Lich set has fewer quality control issues than my GMK Metaverse R2. The reverse dyesub keys have no shrinkage or warpage. MW has sent out multiple sample sets with no shrinkage or warpage on their revese dyesub.
The same handful of anecdotal pictures get posted time and time again, and it's become a meme not particularly grounded in reality. You could do the same with GMK - and I could contribute some pics of my metaverse keycaps, where some of the sides of the keycaps are matte and textured, and some came so glossy and smooth it looks like someone went after them with a polishing wheel. Anecdotes are not data, and if we condemned other manus/processes for having defective caps delivered like some people do for reverse dyesub manus, none of us would be buying custom keycaps from anyone.
There is nothing inherent to the reverse dyesub process that prevents a manufacturer from delivering a set of keys that are within tolerance. Sometimes bad QC slips through - and that happens to every manu.
-
Hi, cool theme, cool set.
I feel that the renders do not do the set justice because the background is harsh and I feel that the lighting can be improved. The lighting feels "dry" in a way.
I think that the deskmats are super neat and I hope that you can get some reverse dyesub samples from milkyway before gb due to reverse dyesub sets almost always drawing concern. Some reassurance from samples could help with that.

That’s a pretty standard price for reverse dye sub base kit? Look at any full reverse dye sub epbt or KAT set
-
this is not at all my aesthetic but it’s so sexy that i’m… going to buy it anyway :thumb:

Calm down buddy, $95 is a great price for full reverse dyesub. MW has multiple samples of reverse dyesub as well.

this looks good its unfortunate its going to be very warped due to the reverse dye sub, this set would translate much better as an abs set

I have several Infinikey sets that are all reverse dye sub and there is no warping at all.

I also have an IFK set that is Reverse dysesub in black & it is not warped to hell. MW is doing thicker pbt than IFK so that is going to make warping even less of an issue. I have seen MW samples & they look good. So, Karmzii, stop listening to memers and try things out for yourself.
I love the work and heart that went into this set. The colors are great and those deskmats are fire.

This is such a great concept. Can't say I'll buy them unless I have a particular idea with what to do with them tho, the style is def distinctive! On the other hand, I've been looking for a deskmat and that church on fire one just jumped to the top of my list.
I do agree with some others that the legends are a little off in places - the misalignment is super clear between the G and H keys, for instance.

Thank you for your kind words. Overall the placement of 'g' and 'h' is by design aligned that way to avoid inconsistencies while adding the same look of alignment as uppercase letters. Thank you for your feedback!

I have some test designs around such a WoB set, but need to get samples of a few different fonts to find one that won't come across as ultra scuffed once printed. And thematically it would have to be pretty close to this, so I was hoping Afresca could fit it in ;D

Any chance there will be artisans for this set?

Yeah hopefully we can do that in the future, so far red on black is the first version.

Huge missed opportunity not to have the left and right hands of Baphomet as novelty keys.
[attachimg=1] [attach=3] [attachimg=2]
This gesture by Baphomet is the "as above, so below" with huge significance for a variety of esoteric and occult schools of thought. Anybody who is sufficiently familiar with Western esotericists like Aleister Crowley would recognise these as symbolising the dichotomy between two complementary modes of magick, the left-hand path and right-hand path (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-hand_path_and_right-hand_path). The left-hand path is, very loosely speaking, about violating convention and order, embracing chaos, and destabilising hierarchies, whereas the right-hand path is about forming order out of instability, recreating conventions, and taming the chaotic.
They'd just make for absolutely fantastic raise/lower or pageup/pagedown or volume up/down or arrow keys, and would complement the goat-head novelty brilliantly.
Edit: I just made a silly mockup of what it could look like because I was bored. I'm sure you could come up with a much better illustration than this one, this was just quick and incredibly low-effort (and they should probably be R4 for raise/lower or something but you get the idea):

Please, the left hand path and right hand path idea from @oestrogen8r is such a good idea. And an R1 goat head! I would use it for sure on an alice board with the extra keys on the side!

LMAO, insane amount of effort!
Aw shucks, it was just 20-30 mins in Photoshop. I already had these pngs of the left- and right- hand floating around because I used to use them as emojis on Discord :cool:
They were just so perfect here that I couldn't pass on the opportunity to suggest them x)
This kit is gonna have no trouble selling the novelties since the alphas themselves are already a novelty, and there are just so many things that would make for great novelties.

I basically just recolorised the hand PNGs from above for my mockup, but I also found I had to tweak the right-hand a bit more to give it a bit clearer definition. Not sure whether you wanted to completely reillustrate them yourself from scratch or pilfer them from this classic illustration like I did, but this depiction of Baphomet due to Éliphas Lévi is entirely within the public domain so you could just do that too if you wanted.

Such a good idea. Would fit this set and theme well
-
Replace arrows with crosses in the regular or space bar set?
I also think some crosses would look sweet, even just as novelties if not as a full arrow set. Not sure how I feel about the idea of sideways crosses but I think a normal cross and an upturned cross would be neat. Basically my stance on this kit is just that I'd love to see more novelties in general involving cool real-world symbolism

Hey this is a bit of a silly question but I've never owned reverse dye-sub before and am curious, what colours do you get on the undersides/insides of the keycaps? Are they undyed and red like the legends? and I presume the black-on-red keys are probably just a regular (not reverse) dye sub and hence also probably look red on the inside, right?
If so, I'm even more excited now because I kinda want to chuck these on a tented split board where the undersides are actually a little exposed and I think this would look sick
