Is the “Mystery” color option on CK a completely different color or just a random pick between the other colors?

You did not have to make all the colours so tempting. Like you just didn't have to do that LOL.

It is not a random color unit from the pre-picked ones. It's different.

Any chance we could get a white one? Even if it’s a mystery color.

As a stock colour, e-coat costs extra and I'm trying to keep costs as low as possible here as the design doesn't benefit from economy of scale due to its small (epic) stature.

As for the mystery colourway, cannot confirm or deny

Alchemist Keyboards · « **Reply #45 on:** Fri, 06 October 2023, 10:14:14 »
