STORY

Hi, I'm Masje, a leekbros enjoyer. This is a keycap set I designed in collaboration with TheBloodyez, a good friend and talented keyboard designer. Check out QFRL
We hope to make an affordable, classic Arabic keycap set inspired by Cherry G80 sublegends, so, naturally we chose to go with dyesub PBT with JC Studio(aka Leekbros)
At the same time, we hope to create an inclusive base set that will cover most layouts. Please refer to our specs for detailed kitting information!
We will be looking into different-colored sublegends, so do please fill out the IC form to let us know!

Leek brothers have been doing some great stuff for the price and this is another example.

Hopefully this would reach 200MOQ cause that price is very nice (+ quick timelines are always a good thing)

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.
| praxis
More
gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.
| camo filco
More
stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.

I'm in because UK keys in base.

Any option of a pink sublegends option? Pink is objectively the cutest and friendliest colour.

I swear I saw text only mods in yesterday's render. honestly I wouldn't mind if you kept them text only, there's plenty of other icon+text sets around to mix and match, this would have been a nice variation.

Same. Aesthetically I strongly prefer -just- text or all icons, but the mix never feels as crisp.

What's up with the US vendor Otakeebs? They still have yet to put this set up on their site. Don't want to miss out on this GB. :-\
