Mmmh, these blue alphas look nice...
Will Eclipse make a comeback later on Massdrop?
Eclipse will make a comeback but i dont think it will be on Massdrop. If time will come you will be able to get it directly from Europe ;)
Tho its also possible Eclipse will be available someday also on Massdrop. Everything depends on situation ;)
Thanks, I am in either way :thumb:
Added Oblotzky's renders to the front page.

That second render is quite tasty. Not exactly the same colors, but this now reminds me something like that:

1.25 CapsLock and 1.5 CapsLock/Fn/Code keycaps make this set a must, but I miss the light brown leather mods :'(
Something like this?

I like it and i like all other versions. Tho its quite hard decision. I have no idea how well Denim can go. Introducing leather mods will basically require a whole base set with leather mods, because most of the keys are mods. I wish i could offer two base sets. One with denim mods and leather accent keys and one with full leather mods.
I like both but brown mods would push me to buy over blue, as that combination is so unique; the Oblotzky renders really grabbed me. Can we see a render with blue mods?
The brown + blue goes so well together.
That's what kbdfans thought too.

Never seen this on KBDfans and if i look at the comments it seems like this IC Thread is older then that product.
As i said i am still in prototyping phase. Tho i share with you some sketches. Keep in mind they are kind of stupid overboard i need to find some balance.
Stitched mods with words only.

Nice update. Clean and simple. Almost reminds me of the simplicity of the recent Eclipse... Any chance you will be able to offer this set as a separate kit. This was the design that got me all hyped up for this set as it is unique and special and would distinguish this set from all the thousands of the usual (getting boring for me) two toned sometimes three plain GMK sets going out in the wild with no detail designs in the mods. Still, I love the zipper pull and little touches like that, but what I’d like to see more is the border stitching you have done for the Ergodox and your preliminaries.

That particular idea is quite hard to pull off at this moment. I need more interest in it - say real participants. Since the keycap market is pretty saturated right now, i want to go only for the base set. Once Denim exists and gathers enough interest for another round, then i might look into making such kit.
Looking lean, mean, and efficient. I like it!
Plus, I would anticipate this fine tuning to result in some very reasonable pricing.
Thats the goal. Tho i am on the fence to add Cherry Ansi Enter and GMK stepped caps lock as additional keys in order to give it some novelties. Thus that might make the set to cost little bit more.

^-^ ;)
Btw. this is actually the latest stitched mod iteration. I think it is better to make only icon mods (recognizable for everyone) but stitched.

I like the stitches. Looks very unique, though I like a stitched border more than legends themselves.
