Ah so that's the Dolch colour. Since the keys themselves are going to be black, white and dolch, is it safe to assume that the font colour will be white for the black and dolch, and black for the white kit?

Yes that's right.  I'm working on an update for the OP that has more photos and color info.

Not to be rude here but based on your own prior perception of your posts being interpreted as: "I was clearly bull****ting"  I'll have to go with: "Well, **** son, you're not that good at giving other people a favorable impression of your intent."

Instead I'd interpret that Santa Esmeralda track as a Hail Mary and hope other people interpret your intent favorably.

e: it's also a really good track, especially in the context of Kill Bill~

e2: you can also say "****, I'm bad at communicating, I didn't mean to be rude and I'm sorry." That often helps too.

Does the white kit have black lettering or blue lettering?  I'm curious if it will match WYSE keys.

It won't contain anything exciting ... probably the same colors from the last moogle buy, intended to match white, black, and Dolch Cherry sets.

Hash, are we getting a better spacebar color for the white kit? Round 2 was way whiter than the actual keycaps.

Or is that as close as we can get?

There are about 30 grays and beiges in the SP palette, so I'm pretty sure we can do better.  I ended up using a light grey WASD space bar with my r2 moogle kit because the SP one was so bright.

I didn't realize there has never been a Dolch moogle kit. I was hoping someone had a photo of how the Dolch moogles would look with the more common white on black/black on white keys. In other words, I was looking for an excuse to buy a Dolch moogle kit without actually owning any Dolch keys... not that anyone would be that crazy, right?

Yeah, I don't think it would look very good.  Too bad though, since the Dolch kits are hurting for orders. :-/

Sorry, this is not quite true.  We are close to getting to keep the initial price for Dolch base kits, which was based on the assumption that we'd order at least 25.  We're now at 24.

People, you all should order extra Dolch sets.  They are going to be really rare.  And as more people discover how cool and unique genuine Dolch caps are, they will buy them off ebay, and they will search far and wide for a set of Dolch Moogle kits.  Dolch moogle kits are great investment for the future, great for trading for other future rare items.  Trust me!

See if this could convince you all to order more Dolch moogle kits.  It is my white Filco with MX Red, genuine Dolch double shot keycaps, with Round 3 Dolch replica as the front row and mods.  Oh, and my genuine Cherry red Esc keycap :D

Just ignore the silly fonts from the Round 3 caps.  This group buy's font legends are going to be much more awesomer!

I've received a couple of PMs about what moogle kits are, so I added a description to the second post.

We are close to price breaks for FULLMOD_dl, ISOADAPT_wh, 15MOD_bl, and SPACE_bl.  The black base kit is 10 orders away the big 50-order price drop.

ISOADAPT_dl, 15MOD_wh, 15MOD_dl, and ANTICAPS, ISOSHIFT, and BACKSLASH in all three colors are in danger of price increases if we don't get more orders.  The initial prices quoted in the OP are based on 10 orders.  They will probably be prohibitively expensive at less than that, I'm afraid.

STEPCAPS_dl has hit the 15-order tier.  I'll post a price reduction for it tonight.

I've never had any issues with them... I wonder why they don't like some people. I can see them not liking ripster though. I bet that mouth of his gets him into trouble a lot.

Have you ever run a group buy?  What we do here seems to be in the grey area of their TOS.
