Jesus christ man, they look amazing. Can't wait to test out a set.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Doubleshot with custom legends - an industry first?

Way to shake up the industry, guys :D

Beyond awesome, I hope if goes really well for you :)

I use to REALLY HATE 60% keyboards because they don't offer any ability to fully customize them with custom legends so some keys are simply covered with excess GMK's or SP key-sets.

Now it looks like it's going to be 60% hording on my side of the planet.  Looking forward to seeing a full set showing these custom legends showing original operability of the Poker or V60 setup (at least that's my understanding of Bunny's new key-set line for small keyboard lay outs).

And custom colours, I bet!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

sets arent 60% sir, thats just the boards i run, full set includes winkey and winkeyless support, numpad and extras for compatibility with most boards, the initial runs wont have 1800 support but that will follow shortly when some of the initial investment is made back to invest in more tooling

Okay, my mistake.....Sorry.

You've included photos of individual keys thus far, can you please take a picture showing it's rear end because that's the foundation upon what we here on Geekhack love to see  8) ?

Hope your keys match the thickness of GMK's then we might have a definite take over of future Group Buys when it comes to custom keys.

I'm very excited about this.

Bunnylake, just out of personal interest, with GMK supposedly entering direct to consumer keycap sales with their Uniqey board, do you think they will be more reluctant to do Group Buys?

Also, what do you plan to do with this new manufacturing capabilities if I may ask? Are you thinking retail or GBs or both? Is this move to do with the pricing and availability of GMK keycaps and making high quality thick ABS move available to the community or is it to do more with custom legends and manufacturing keycaps that GMK don't offer?

I know these are a lot of questions but I'm keen to learn more about this exciting new development

This would be an interesting idea!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Have they thought about doing buckling springs caps?

This would be an interesting idea!

I just want somewhere that will do custom legends, and not be hit or miss on the QC, and even doing them in the first place.
