Keyreative doesn’t make homings sadly...
I put the 2 delete from colemak to specialities.

Oh no, so none of the kits will have homing keys?

Unfortunately, no.
And trust me, I'm kinda upset about that… I hope it won't be a big deal for buyers.

Already changed my mind twice about which sets I want (the Novelkey guys must hate me), but super excited about the set.

Hi, the spacebar kit only features 1 3u spacebar, not 2?

Yes indeed
Are you actually using a layout with 2 3u spacebars?

CandyKeys · « **Reply #12 on:** Tue, 17 July 2018, 14:04:56 »

Awesome stuff.

Well, you could go for loose 3u spacebars then, The base keycap color of Milkshake set is white.

I'm running out of time to make my decision on this, but I think I want DSA Milkshake for the new purple colorway of the Preonic. If I want to cover that board do I just need Weirdo Alphas and the Ortho kit or will I need to pickup extra 1u blanks as well (Fruits, Blanks, or Dots?)

You should be fine with alphas and ortho ye

But I’d recommend to add a blank or fruits pack for more compatibility!

ZROGST · « **Reply #17 on:** Fri, 27 July 2018, 17:04:24 »

Cheers, ended up grabbing a Fruits kit too.

Any teaser and/or ETA on the deskmat? I've been holding off buying a generic one waiting for something nice.

I actually should have samples in about 1-2 weeks to take some good pictures.

Hello! I pre-ordered the set and now I want to order some colored 2u blanks to go with it.

Do you have the exact PBT color codes for the white and pastel colors?
Thanks in advance!

Beatnutz · « **Reply #30 on:** Tue, 25 September 2018, 03:30:07 »

No updates?

I've seen some stuff on Instagram, just not sure if those are renders or not? Would be sweet to get a status report.

cheers!

Hey! Sorry for the lack of updates. The last pics of milkshake you can see on my Instagram account are actually the samples I got

I talked with Zfrontier, and the manufacturer is in time, they are launching production soon! I just have to confirm them the new colors adjustment.

The white is « pure Snow White », I mean, it’s basic white, there is apparently no reference for that one.
And the colors are Pantone equivalences so tough to find something really close...

Thanks, not sure what I will need, but want enough kits including noveltys for a 40 to 50% MKB. Can I pay for them before you have them in stock or you hold them for me? I will be in contact w/ you for some switches too. Also, how’s everything going w/ your XDA Zelda keyset?
