I love SA too, but ,due to the busy production schedule of SP, I don't think it's easy to make a SA keycaps now.
Maxkey is also good enough for daily use!

I'm planning to use Maxkey, a SA-like high profile which made in China.

It's hard to adapt planck with MAXKEY profile I think, unless more 1u keys add.

aptivaboy · « **Reply #18 on:** Sat, 02 September 2017, 01:41:37 »

I really like it, although the brown might be a tad too dark compared to the rest of the colorway. It stands out a bit too much. Maybe lighten it just a bit?

Ok，I'll change to a lighter color for adapters. I have to think about what is better. a lighter brown or a darker pink？or some other colors....

I will update some thing later.
As I got from Maxkey, this set will probably run after some other key sets such as : Lime, CalmDepth, Berserk.....

hoq · « **Reply #25 on:** Mon, 11 September 2017, 09:05:05 »

Hi, Since some people don't like that deep brown color of adapters, I change it to a light blue color, it makes the whole key set looks a little bit low contrast and feminine, but looks soft in color.

How about it?

I favor the colorway of the header post at the moment, with the black accent. Black like the beak! Lovely

tacahiroy · « **Reply #27 on:** Mon, 11 September 2017, 09:25:12 »

I prefer Brown one, blue one is kinda ok though

"Black C" is brown? I mean... are you sure? It looks pretty much black on both of my monitors. Alright. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's just a Pantone color called "Black C", In fact, it's a deep brown color.......
may be I should keep the brown tone and just make it little bit lighter.

I agree with you keeping the brown. But would like to suggest keeping Black C of original color way.
I think Blue was error and Brighter one also would lack of impact.
Hope the GB for this keyset to run ASAP.

mgsickler · « **Reply #36 on:** Tue, 12 September 2017, 15:35:23 »

Hmm. I think I like the blue one better. Both look pretty good.

No, they said they can not provide any other keys except 127 keys default base, only they can make some additional novelties.

At first, I just put 2 1U flamingo novelties randomly there, because I saw some of the Maxkey keysets put cherry novelies there,
I thought those cherry novelties can be replaced easily by designers request

But, today, I asked Maxkey , they told me their default Base layout always have those cherry novelties, just like this :

So I have to think about to add some novelties keys and special keys for a additional kit now.
I will revise the layout later.
