"I want you to make a contract with me and become a Magical Girl!"

SA Magica is a sculpted SA set based on the popular Magical Girl series, Madoka Magica. The colorway is inspired by the series protagonist, Akemi Homura, as well as Walpurgisnacht's barrier.

GB OPEN NOW! https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=111763.msg3025940
Join the MisonoWorks Discord for updates: http://discord.gg/Tk6Jw3Z

General Info:
- To be manufactured by MAXKEY
- 12343 sculpted profile
- Doubleshot ABS
- Purple on grey alphas, grey on purple mods, grey on white accents



Update 2021/03/15

The GB is tomorrow!
The Akemi deskmat was axed due to copyright concerns, which is understandable. (this stuff is part of the reason why I am no longer going to run IP based sets in the future haaaah)
We now have a cable collaboration, as well as a metal artisan with thok!

HectoringMK, based in the UK, will be working on WEIPU connector cables for this set.


As for THOK, we're working things out... the artisan might come a bit after the GB date due to unforseen circumstances.

As well as this, here are the prices of each kit (in USD)
Alphas - $39.99
Mods - $47.99
Ortho/40 - $24.99
Numpad - $26.99
ISO - $15.99
Novelties - $29.99
Spacebars - $16.99
Accent Spacebars - $18.99



Kitting








(For those out of the loop about novelties:
R1: Grief Seed, MadoHomu Soul Gem, Demon Homura's Grief Gem, Homura's shield, Kyubey
R1 (2U): Homura's Pistol (M1911)
R3 (1.25u): Homura's Soul Gem, Grief Seed
R3 (1.5u): Homura's Soul Gem, Madoka's Soul Gem
R3 (1.75u): Kyubey
R3 (2.25u/ISO): Contract
R3 (6.25u): Kyubey

Renders
TKC1800



RAMA U60-A

(Woah, a center graphic design that works! TKC1800 displayed as it is the tallest board I have a model for.)

Was originally going to do that, but had MOQ concerns.

black spacebars will happen, along with another B

The design constraint with this set was to use stock colors from SP to keep the price as low as possible. I'll see what I can do

Set looks nice, if I were you I would include a alpha color spacebars in the mod kit and spacebars kit, not too many people use mod colored spacebars for sets. IMO it makes a set look like it has a chin strap. Another thing I would do is change the F-row to be alpha color too. It helps the look of the set, if you had mod colored alphas then it would make more sense to run a mod colored F-row. Another idea I just had would be to include this alpha colored F-row in the alphas kit, that way you wouldn't need to include them in both grey mod kit and purple mod kit, just an idea idk if it is a good one though, I've never ran a SA set before.

There's only gonna be one color of mod kit for MOQ reasons, but thanks for the advice on the F row! Noted. The black spacebar will be included with alphas and hiragana when I get to fixing the set design.

changed the accent color to white, what do y'all think?

also edited the set to accomodate the most common requests, that being:
- purple mods
- alpha color spacebar
- extra B
- novs remake
- 1.75u return for HHKB
no change to mono or standard legends yet due to the response on that being literally 50/50

and also, novelties are great pain. would still very much appreciate suggestions, lolol

ah, yeah, my bad, forgot to mention that. Mono hiragana is gone because Maxkey doesn't have molds for them. Signature Plastics has an enormous lead time on all of their SA sets which is why I decided to switch.

Maxkey unfortunately does not have very many molds for 40%. This is the absolute extent I was able to get out of them for 40s.
I'm a 40s user myself so it makes me sad :(

I'm a bit confused by the ortho/40s. There's two 1u escape in the top row, shouldn't one of them be in the row below it? So that you have the standard choice of esc or tab in the first two rows of an ortho board?

Huh. The layout in the opening post is, as far as I can tell, assuming a board that's five rows tall (like the preonic) and makes no allowances for four rows tall boards (like the planck) which I thought were the more popular layout for non-split ortho.

I hope the OP might consider making the ortho/40s more like their SA Rose set which has, in my opinion, a far more inclusive ortho.

Unfortunately I had to make do with what molds that Maxkey has available right now. The 40s compatibility used to be a lot more like Rose Librarian until I got into contact with MaxKey and we worked out what molds they had and didn't have. I would love to have more 40s support (as I both use and create 40s boards) but it's out of reach right now given the capabilities of Maxkey in this time of the year.
