Really digging this set, a JP flag novelty enter/capslock key might look nice for a single colour set like this.

White novelties on the bottom row is a bit jarring imo.

The Japanese flag will be jarring regardless of the row. In any case I wanted to revisit the idea for this set's novelties.

Really really digging the colors.

I'm not sure if this has been asked already but any way you can offer alternate base set with plain alphas? While i understand the theme behind this, I have a strong preference for simplicity and the extra Japanese character legends is very distracting. Thanks for your consideration!

No. That won't be possible. Only the current set of alphas will be offered.

Can it be a blue keycap with a flag on it? Or would it be impossible or costly to make?

GMK can稚 triple shot keycaps, which is what it would take to have the three colors. They could possibly...*shudders*... pad print it.

I love how this set is all blue. But have you considered adding some minor pink accents? I'm not sure how though. Japan's national team often does on their kits. BTW I like the Japan flag keys a lot. I'm so excited for this.

As for why not: it's a price increase of about 35 EUR for a base kit that would be over 125 EUR and less than 30 people would buy it.

It could be possible, but not everyone wants them and it adds a significant cost to the Core kit.

Yeah its very unfortunate :-[ I hope 2019 will bring more EU gb power to the mecha. If it runs on MD its so damn hard to compete with customs etc.

Set looks dope either way man! awesome work you are putting out there  :thumb:

Odds are good, but I'll have to tweak the set.

This won't be a Massdrop set, otherwise I'd have started a poll many months ago.

Any thoughts on adding a whole modifier set in the darker blue color? I really think this set would look great with the alphas being the lighter blue & the modifiers being the darker blue. Even having to grab an expensive additional kit to get that look, it would make me more likely to buy into this set. Don't get me wrong though, this is a lovely colorway as is & I can see it easily being a popular set. Just not for me in it's current state. :thumb:

The Blues on the alphas look way lighter than the original pictures. I thought they would be closer to the enter key color.

The set will be as barebones as possible, I'm even looking at reducing the kits to just either a base kit and spacebars or just the base kit. Since the base kit has always been with just one color for both alphas and modifiers, I don't really want to change it in any way. Making add-on modifiers packs doesn't work very well with GMK sets.
