Are these custom colors?

Really hope the colors will be accurate for this GB, it looks so amazing :)

Sounds like this set is going to be pretty popular.
I heard its already hit MoQ? 

If so, will there price drops at certain quantities?

After seeing the price point for the nano, I just don't think I could justify it on top of the keyset and mat.
Wish I could get that Torii gate novelty without having to buy the nano. :(

Spacebars kit87/150
Kobe kit29/150

Rama keycaps

Yas, that's why the initial MOQ for the base kit is 250
And, well, I have RAL references so we'll see with the samples. I'm not afraid, GMK is incredible at color matching!



Also, don't forget to check the Nano Bentō!

We will be buying extras to help out MOQ as much as possible. I don't see it being an issue to get made. :)

Is the case color in this render from a cerakote or specific anodization?

Current numbers:

Kits

Base kit172/250
Spacebars kit87/150
Kobe kit29/150

Rama keycaps
Alu keycap60/50
Brass keycap19/50

I'm not sure proxies will be able to make price cuts. To be confirmed.

Awesome. I thought it sounded a little crazy that it had already hit MoQ, but those numbers aren't far off.
Base and space bars should easily pass MoQ by the looks of things.

Would an alternative to getting price drops be adding caps to the kits if they hit the price drop volumes?

That's interesting. I'll see that with the vendors and GMK if we could do something like that!

What are the chances of getting some international caps?

I really like that you include some ISO caps, but that still leaves quite the few caps to me mislabeled for ISO layouts.

Since the set is now in GB phase, no chance sorry.

2148C and 178C.
But the final result should be closer to the RAL references.

I'm wanting to get a custom-made sleeve for the keyboard that I'll be using Bento on.  Is it possible to get the images for the patterns on the desk mat to use for the sleeve?  Thanks!

It will look like this, but with the Bento colors :)
