What's the name is better,
Due to my poor English, I don't know to use which word is correct.

Purple, Lavender or Amethyst?

The JTK is purple and white color? I am not sure.
But this one set is purple and golden color.

Change the base set so that it includes tsangan and ISO compatibility at the minimum. Then add whatever else into the add-on pack. It makes it cheaper for most people who aren't going to be using this set with alternative layouts.

R1 mods in golden will make it tasty, white F Keys with golden alternative & num pad keys. Go full blown purple with gold, not sure if possible but gold alphas will be amazing too.

Anyway, perhaps alphas should be yellow and purple like the arrow keys.

Definitely agree that this needs more gold, but I love the idea.

Would buy in a heartbeat if it was full purple and gold, but I understand that's not likely to be as appealing to a lot of people. Finding a compromise is going to be pretty key here.

Also, something like this would be awesome if it were possible. Just the silhouette, no numbers.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I just did the Classic Retro set GB in one month ago.
The order quantities were,
Base kit 150.
1800 kit 90.
ISO kit only 38 and most of be sold as 1 USD.

So it told me that most of the member don't need the ISO kit even as 1 USD with 4 keys.
But you know the 1800 kit be sold as 22 USD but with number 90.
I don't have enough reason to let 110 people cover the ISO cost and really sorry for it.

Thanks for your input,
Only the alpha area be used as Base Golden color with legend purple color is not a good choice.
It's totally changed with another set.
The reason for the Base white is that the color for all the home court color.
That make sense.

The Golden(N6) color is only adorned in this set. So I choose the 4 arrow keys.
But if you want more golden color,

What about from "F1" to "F4", "F9" to "F12" and modifier keys in small pad all be as Base N6 and legend DY?
Is that a good idea for that?
Or just as what you have said, R1 mod keys and small pad mod keys as N6 and DY.
Which one is better?

i love this color-way, i call it purple gold dynasty.
i will in.
as for novelty keycaps, my suggestion is keep either 24 or 8 as one and change one number into Kobe or Bryant ,just my suggestion, two number novelty perhaps be too excess.

Personally, I would like more options for gold that would work with a 60% as that is what I mainly use. Even if it's only one or two, just something to give it more of that golden goodness.

Definitely agree that this needs more gold, but I love the idea.

Would buy in a heartbeat if it was full purple and gold, but I understand that's not likely to be as appealing to a lot of people. Finding a compromise is going to be pretty key here.

(Attachment Link)

That's a pretty iconic pose of his, too, but I'm not sure how it would look on a keycap. It's very wide at the top... It might just end up looking like some weird Jesus, lol. Maybe if the numbers on his back were cap colored, with the body silhouetted?

I personally just think that nothing quite says Kobe like the fadeaway, which is why I picked that particular image.
