KAT Mint Chip

M60-A by Rama Works



This is my set, KAT Mint Chip. This set is based on everyone's favorite ice cream, Mint Chocolate Chip!
For the colors of the set, I color matched exactly to the real thing, to get that perfect, creamy, green/blue color everyone knows and loves.
 I went for a nontraditional legend style. Lowercase. I feel that the lowercase better exemplifies the flavors and overall feeling of enjoying
some ice cream straight out of the freezer, and as much as you might want to,

please don't eat the caps.





Colors

Disclaimer: Please note that these are digital representations in RGB color that approximate the original Pantones.
The colors are subject to change. I will do my best to make the colors as close to the pantones as possible.






Kits:

Notice: all kits follow the 4-4-3-2-1-1 pattern. This means the F-Row keys are the same sculpt as numrow.

Collabs:



My Idea behind collaborations is the more the better. As long as it is cohesive with the set, I am all for it. I am interested in cables, artisans, wrist wrests, switches, switch openers, keyboards, etc. If you’re interested in working with me, send me an email at jakkinfo@gmail.com or a dm on discord jakk#6421.






Upcoming:



Deskmats
Cables
Vendors
Novelties
Artisans
More.

Love these colors! Really glad to see legends on the Ergo set too.
You might consider another profile with another manufacturer, though. I won't be throwing any more cash at Keyreative.

Imagine if GMK added a manufacturing line for KAT profile.  :eek:
I'd go flat broke.

I would change manu's but there is no other manu for KAT. Wish there was, but I will consider it.

I've seen your renders of the BLOQ on the Thok discord.  I was thinking "mmmm...so minty".  Now I find this thread.  :D  Anyhow, I like the crisp font and legends on this set.

R4 (R1 in regular numbering) 1u \| should be placed in the alpha kits, not the mod kits. The reason is that this is an alpha key, and unlike e.g. `~, it does not usually come in a mod-colored variant.

Soft green hue, easy on the eyes, love the subtle design of this whole set. If various compatibility is supported to accommodate board types such as Alice, this looks like a cute set for everyone. Definitely interested in getting in on this.  :thumb:

Please consider adding two Colevrak+ kits to support the two alpha kits.

For context, there was talk of switching to DSA before that comment:

I don’t think SP’s DSA does reverse dyesub, and Milkyway is Cherry profile (...right?). Either would probably call for a complete overhaul of the set. Whoever manufactured the Dark Magic Girl caps does reverse dyesub DSA though? I think that’s Infinikey but I dunno. That could work.

@jakk
Have you tried contacting Keyreative/zFrontier with the help of one of your vendors? Their communication is notoriously garbage especially with how many sets are in queue, but it might be worth a shot before you go about making huge changes to the set and needing redone renders, kits etc. especially if you haven’t polled how popular those changes would be.

fair enough, join my discord, as it would be easier to talk there. I'll make a poll with information regarding the future of the set and post it here thanks for the help!
