I have seen Vice Nights before but thank you.
I see where you're coming from but when you compare them, Cyan/Magenta/GreyBlack for Vice Nights, where i went Violet/Blue/BlueBlack for Blacklight and pbt Reverse Dye Sub rather than double shot abs.

Wowee this is hawt. Any chance for some R4 1u novelties for us folks who don’t have a R1? Love the work you’ve done here.

Fredington · « **Reply #16 on:** Sun, 24 May 2020, 22:09:55 »

Definitely in. This is almost like a dark version of GMK Muted.

I think he meant to say GMK Darskel, the purple and teal give a similar look. I still don't trust Infinikey's Black color, but other than that this set looks awesome! GL!

PikaJoyce · « **Reply #18 on:** Sun, 24 May 2020, 22:18:00 »

Definitely interesting. I’m a fan of the colors vs vice nights! I don’t exactly trust infinikey though, would you be getting samples to confirm the colors will be accurate before running? I believe they had an issue before with getting the blacks to truly be black, so hoping that the reverse dye sub has been improved!

rewke · « **Reply #19 on:** Sun, 24 May 2020, 22:27:56 »

Looks great, sign me up!

Ulliam · « **Reply #20 on:** Sun, 24 May 2020, 23:55:55 »

I'm really happy with how the black from Sanctuary came out, this wont be straight up black but a blue black. I appreciate that colour matching any really dark or light colour is difficult though

i meant what i said i was just being a ****ter

the alternate font is baller af and i would buy this set in a heartbeat if that was the standard across the whole kit

and as mentioned above me, sanctuary came out excellent meaning that this set certainly can as well

zakatak · « **Reply #22 on:** Mon, 25 May 2020, 00:03:43 »

Looks really sick. I suggest adding teal accents for enter and escape!

Surostu · « **Reply #23 on:** Mon, 25 May 2020, 04:13:34 »

Yep in, ive been waiting for an infinikey sets that isnt pastel or orange/red/green. Awesome stuff, not 100% on the font but it might grow on me in more renders.

Hanabi · « **Reply #24 on:** Mon, 25 May 2020, 04:25:35 »

I really really love this color omg.

Yes yes and yes

btw, nice renders

ivu · « **Reply #27 on:** Mon, 25 May 2020, 06:09:51 »

Please add R1 "\|" key for split backspace users in the alt apha kit.

Are you planning to have EU proxy for the GB ?

Inner-Ear · « **Reply #28 on:** Mon, 25 May 2020, 20:55:50 »

The first render has blue font arrow keys but the kit mock-up only shows purple font arrow keys. Include both?

This colorway fits nicely in between Darksel, Tokyo Nights, and Vice/Miami Nights. It has its own identity that stands on its own. And being PBT makes it even more special.

DALExSNAIL · « **Reply #29 on:** Mon, 25 May 2020, 22:51:38 »

wtb rep banner for my sig tbh

neutralstate · « **Reply #30 on:** Tue, 26 May 2020, 11:13:20 »

ok this is an awesome set, probably pairs well with most light purple / lilac boards....

CustomerSupport · « **Reply #31 on:** Tue, 26 May 2020, 19:21:11 »

Very slick. Keeping my eye on this.

Ulliam · « **Reply #32 on:** Tue, 26 May 2020, 19:33:09 »

Hey guys so quick update while I get the kitting renders ready.
[Removed for update]

bloodyxkatana · « **Reply #33 on:** Tue, 26 May 2020, 20:08:57 »

This is actually a really tough call. I kind of think the lowercase would be a little cleaner though, regardless I'm loving this big time.

Fredington · « **Reply #34 on:** Tue, 26 May 2020, 20:11:30 »

Lowercase for sure

wil · « **Reply #35 on:** Tue, 26 May 2020, 22:05:43 »

lowercase is it, for sure

i'd honestly get rid of the cherry typeface caps at this point

Seconded on both points.

alphabirth · « **Reply #37 on:** Thu, 28 May 2020, 08:54:19 »

I am interested. Definitely the lower case Fraktur as the base! I responded to the survey, but posting here too, it would be cool to see more stoner 𝔡𝔬𝔬𝔪 vibes with novelties like inverted cross, pentagram, skull, etc.

Ulliam · « **Reply #38 on:** Thu, 28 May 2020, 13:19:23 »

Significant update made to the mainpost as well as updated the interest check, if you could check it out and let me know what you think that would be awesome, thank you guys for the support so far. So excited for whats to come.

Fredington · « **Reply #39 on:** Thu, 28 May 2020, 13:57:25 »

Icon only mods might be interesting so that the only text is Fraktur.

Lenux · « **Reply #40 on:** Thu, 28 May 2020, 14:04:10 »

Hey you made a nice work, hope it happens !

I don't know which one i like more, the colors ? or the font ??

I love it, nothing to say more than amazing

Oh yeah, def icon-only mods! Also, probably wouldn't be into a numpad, but the Cherry font looks out of place there (and on the function row). Dunno about anybody else, but this set just screams Electric Wizard (http://electric****inwizard.com/) to me! (That ankh logo would also be a rad novelty)

neutralstate · « **Reply #42 on:** Thu, 28 May 2020, 21:11:17 »

oh no, why are the accent keys gone? that's sad.

seems kinda weird to have alpha colored font for esc and enter... the previous purple accents were nice!

fransuso · « **Reply #43 on:** Fri, 29 May 2020, 03:46:33 »

Absolutely love the colorway, I'm so into this!! I think it would look sooo daaaamn good on the entry edition NK65

. Although I would much prefer the base kit to have the normal alphas instead of the gothic ones. Btw what's the estimated price on this?

Agreed.

Sifo · « **Reply #45 on:** Fri, 29 May 2020, 23:05:27 »

y'all can buy the normie kit then, we want Fraktur

thornkin · « **Reply #46 on:** Fri, 29 May 2020, 23:09:04 »

The alt F and J in the base kit are the wrong font.

neutralstate · « **Reply #47 on:** Fri, 29 May 2020, 23:27:18 »

feel like the regular font on the modifier keys kinda clash with the special font on alphas though

special font on the modifiers too perhaps?

Ulliam · « **Reply #48 on:** Sat, 30 May 2020, 09:42:10 »

So then, seems i'm at a bit of an impasse. I agree wholeheartedly that Cherry Mods + Fraktur look jank. It was a poor attempt at a solution. I also take on bored the critisicism that Fraktur/Blackletter and Blacklights aren't associated each other futher than my fascination with both. That being said here is my preposal and I'd love if you could comment and let me know what you think so I can get a better idea of how to move forward.

Option 1)Stick with the theme and pallet, lean heavier into the blackletter dropping all Cherry legends and mods entierly
Option 2)Split the 2 ideas into two sets one Blacklight using cherry style Type/Icons with this pallet and theme, one "Blackletter" a compleately new set based on Fraktur leaning heavily into the history and Blackletter type.
I have put together a very quick mock up of what these might look like:

1- Current pallet, Fraktur everything 2- Current pallet, Cherry everything 3- New Blackletter themed set (probably wont be WoB)

So i guess the choice is Between either 1 or 2/3 together

Hope you all have an amazing weekend, please let me know what you think.
Stay safe

Liam
