Not sure if this is helpful or not, but here's a pic of an N7 spacebar with an N9 spacebar with the gold Enter from Red Samurai:

That is awesome! Thank you so much for posting :)

I'd love this keycap set.

The only thing that i'd be able to afford is novelties, and i love the design of the deskpad!

Planning on building a board, how well will the 1up brass plate match the gold in this keyset? https://www.1upkeyboards.com/shop/parts-and-tools/parts/diy-60-ansi-plate-kit/

I've not used that plate personally. If you want to be 100% certain you'd need to find a gold cap from red samurai to compare. Hope that helps!

Love the idea for a Zelda themed set.

About the Black-gold colors - I guess I've seen the colors used on limited/collector's edition, concerts or those types of materials.

I would've thought Master Sword blue or leather brown would be more relevant colors for representing the "Hero" himself.

Super excited for these kits. Probably will buy them all.

Hope Novelkeys is the US proxy.

Am I the only one that's not feeling the "Listen" novelty? I just feel like it's a little limited to some of the later games. May I suggest something that is a common denominator to all the Zelda games like "TRIFORCE"?

The term Triforce is copyrighted, which is why this set has shied away from things like that.

It has been difficult to pick and choose novelties that represent what I was going for in this set. That being said, it was based off a specific title and not an entire series. What is and is not okay for us to use has been discussed with many people at this point

. We have been in contact with Nintendo over the last few days and are still in the process of determining what can and can't be used, though nothing has been shot down thus far, which is a good thing. I hope to have more information soon and will post an update as soon as I receive more info.

Yep, I see that it was already discussed. My apologies. The fact that N hasn't objected to anything yet is really great news.

Ah I see, thanks. I actually joined the red samurai on drop, so I'll know soon. Since the gold is already the same on Sam & Hero, do you think the black mods on hero could possible be the same as well? That would allow mixing alphas & novelties nicely

fleeceman · « **Reply #117 on:** Thu, 23 May 2019, 15:33:22 »

I'm not sure if you have chosen a shade of green yet but I would suggest going for something darker than in those images, maybe something like the green in your triforce profile picture.

If there was a game made by geekhack, i'd call it...
"The legend of Zealios"

The colors are set at this point, yes. The renders make it hard to really grasp the color difference. A helpful picture was posted earlier in the thread showing the contrast in person. Hope this helps!

I love "Listen!" it immediately draws me to OoT which I have a lot of personal fond memories of myself.

For those wondering about the N7, that picture above is pretty accurate for bright lighting. Someone else's GMK Coniferous shot is a good frame of reference for indoor lighting:

Are the novelties the same colorway as red samurai? They looks amazingly similar.

I personally disagree, I really like the darker mods with beige legends. I get Dark Link vibes (perhaps a keycap in the novelty set would make this even more apparent?). But to each their own!

I second that. There have been lots of kits that have chosen the 'Olivia' color-scheme. Not that it's bad, but more of the same can become old. It's good to mix things up now and then, and I think these colors match the theme very well.

We already have this in the form of Coniferous, however -- so far we don't really have any darker-green alpha GMK sets (except for Nautilus Nightmares in Q4 2019)

the more i think about it the less I like these green alphas

Maybe you should invert the colors? I don't know. I feel that kokiri colors are not the way to go for a keyboard, maybe hylian would be better, i.e blue or silver/grey alphas and red/gold accents

I 100% agree on inverting the green and black keys.

I'd probably go for the novelties, Rama keycap and deskmat. Not a fan of the green alphas sorry.

zantetsuken9000 · « **Reply #145 on:** Thu, 22 August 2019, 06:41:54 »

Could the alphas be a cream color with green legends?

I feel the large amount of dark green is really dull and doesn't contrast well with the black and gold.
