This is an interest check to see if people would like a Miami keycap set for the Mistel Barocco/MD770 split board. As far as I can tell there's no easy way to just get a single custom 3.25u blank in any color other than black/white/green or other PMK colors, so I figured it might be worth a shot at seeing if people would want a GB.
Exact colors, legend placement, legend font, etc. are subject to change. If you're interested, please fill out this quick form (https://forms.gle/4xZEKmWATVWSZqeTA) (just your email and whether you like the Miami colorway pictured here, and if not some freetext as to what you would like) and we'll take it from there.
Given Geekhack rules, I don't mind working with an established and reputable vendor to do the GB. I'm OK with fronting money to get things going. I don't even care that much about royalties, I just want to be able to get cool keys for this cool board.
Happy to answer questions!

This might just be me, but this feels a little incomplete. GMK Miami is already a thing and if people are wanting to get a set for there split ergos they would just have to either buy it on Mechmarket, wait until another round (which my or may not happen), or get the rights to run another set of GMK Miami. I think it would just be to difficult to get funding for a niche keyboard's keycap set. If you can get past that though, I hope your goal is successful!

If I could get GMK Miami with the Mistel keycaps, I'd jump on it. Tai-Hao has their Miami caps, which I've got on my main KB too. Only issue is the split space and the other keys. AFAIK neither GMK nor Tai-Hao comes with enough 1u and 2u blanks to just use where they're needed on the Mistel board, let alone the 3.25u right space. :-(
If there's some way to just get the individuals, or to talk with whoever the right contact is to get GMK/Tai-Hao/anyone to produce 'em I would love to get the details.
