I really like this. Nice to see a good red set every once in a while. Shannie deskmat is also  :thumb:

This set looks great! I really like the novelty kit, you've got some great designing in there. The flower that comes along with the ISO UK set is also pretty neat. The shade of red is really good as well, not too overpowering, almost reminds me of a watermelon.

I think the deskmat goes nicely with the esthetic you're going for, but it isn't for me. Still VERY hyped for this and any future colabs that are coming (especially a matching cable :)).

Just an FYI, the "black" is actually a very, very dark blue. You can pretty much only see the blue aspect in direct sunlight. Color references are on the website and in the IC post - which you might have already seen, but I wanted to clarify just in case. I wanted a slightly less "severe" look than regular black, which is why I chose the darkest blue in the Pantone book instead.

Also, the movie is Lady Bird!

Oh I see! It is indeed super dark blue, couldn't even tell. Could be interesting!

Ah Lady Bird, never would have guessed it!

UPDATE - 7/6/21 - Ikki68 Aurora x Fledgling collaboration

In collaboration with Wuque Studio, this special two-tone board is based on the SA Fledgling colorway, with a unique Fledgling-themed badge design designed by Shannie and an adorable back detail based on the ladybug novelty design by Eura. I also think this board will look lovely with many other sets while still offering something distinctive and unique.



All Ikki68 Aurora collab renders here

Fill out the interest check form here if you’d like to see this go to group buy, as well as to vote for your favorite badge color! This group buy will not happen unless enough interest is shown, so this is super important!

I also made a Discord server here. There are cute cat emotes and I tend to post leaks of stuff there first before it makes it to GH or Reddit.

Also I added this info to the OP!

I can't decide whether I prefer the red or gold badge for the Ikki68. Any chance of extra badges being offered?

Also, just wanted to say how much I like this set. It's perfect for a vintage-look build I'm planning. I feel like SA sets with softer colors are really rare; I love how cozy this colorway is.

Seeing the name, I initially thought it is a VTMB inspired set.
I like to make, break & modify stuff via a soldering iron, code or both.

Would it be wrong to get it without novelties and pretend it's a nuclear silo terminal keyboard?

Re: [IC] SA Fledgling - GB 8/25 - 9/25, hella tight metal artisan collab

I've already updated the first post, but since I know a lot of people might only check the most recent posts for updates....here is the first metal artisan collab! There will also be a 1u cap design coming from another, and I will share that when it is ready.

Asero Foundry collaboration (8/17)


This is a 2.25u SA R3 metal keycap, for an artisan Enter keycap. It's a bit of tongue-in-check NorCal slang, and I hope people like the playfulness of this cap combined with the understated design.

Join my Discord for first looks and sneak peeks, as well as new board renders! I'll keep this post, Instagram, and the SA Fledgling website updated regularly. However, there will be informal leaks, etc. posted on the Discord, so check it out if you're interested (there are also cute cat emotes).

Re: [IC] SA Fledgling - GB August 25!! Salvun collab and 1stGarden deskmat
« Reply #81 on: Tue, 24 August 2021, 10:30:09 »
One day until group buy starts! I am excited to show the Salvun collab cap prototype, which has the following specs:

Copper SA R3 keycap
Custom made cerakote color for Fledgling
Amazing artwork by Eura and Shannie, based on Shannie's deskmat design
Clearcoated to keep it looking good for years to come



The 1stGarden deskmat design is also complete, and I hope everyone will love it as much as I do!



Join my Discord for first looks and sneak peeks of collabs to come throughout the group buy period, , or follow me on Instagram. Hopefully within the next few days I will have a group buy thread here on GH where you can also follow along as I make periodic updates. I will also try to post an updated pricing chart before the group buy starts as well. Thank you everyone!

How time flies, we are almost in GB phase. I remember when this just popped up in IC :)

In the end, I feel like the artisans and most of the colabs are a bit too cutesy for my taste, but I still like the original colorway enough that I'm planning to get almost every kit. Also interested to see how the cable turns out. That Ikki68 is also very tempting, depending on the amount of floral designs ;)
