Ha! I dig the “what ppl are saying...” part. Nice set, love minimalism.

tazercow · « **Reply #9 on:** Tue, 12 May 2020, 15:45:19 »

I think this color combo will pair great with a black/brass case. I've seen a lot of people concerned with the color change from the original gold but honestly I think this will turn out much better. Other "metallic" plastics I've come across tend to come out looking quite dull, and need to be paired with a warm color like red or the result just ends up looking boring. This brighter yellow will pop a lot better over black and draw the eye more effectively, which I believe this "luxurious" set is meant to do.

Anyone know if ink black is darker than CR?

like gateron PBT? ink black is kind of a broad term

CR is about as dark as it gets for keycaps

also you can add "nice" to the "what people are saying" section

I said "ink black" because thats the description of the color from Zambumon's IC thread, I believe.

EDIT: Went back over the IC thread and looks like CR is darker than the black (RAL 000 15 00) Zambumon chose for Lux.

While I have mentioned 000 15 00 before, please do not take it as the sole candidate for this set, small adjustments might be done if I feel the colors need some tweaks.

Is an 11 month turnaround normal for a GMK set like this?

Sorry to sound impatient, but that seems like an awfully long time.

From mid June 2020 (when the purchase is made) to March 2021 we have 9 months period. We are giving a realistic timeline based on their production queue and delays caused by Covid-19.

The set is expected to ship from Germany on or before March 28th, 2021

i think it's because yellow is hard to match to a KB. i WANT to get this, but don't have anything that would look with this. i have another day to think about getting it...
