Assuming Solarized Dark is not an option, how about Terminal? AFAIK, it hasn't been done in SA and its colorway is only possible with doubleshot. Another option is to do WoG (white on gray), say #1f2229 which is sorta dusty black that's easier on the eye than fully black.

Would it be possible to add a 1U R3 Fn key for the bottom row?

Those are true and tried colorsets, i'd certainly fork some money for either in that new profile. Otherwise, anything that has deep blues or/and greens in it.. A new version of Dasher maybe ? That would be neat.

I don't know where you got that impression but I, for one, like Dawn set more than Dusk.
It's just that neither looks compelling and more likely to deter than promote buying.

MG keycaps will be pretty massive individually so I think the best way to do show that is to focus on a single color, like Solarized Dark's emerald green, for all keys and use legend color to differentiate, say white legends for alpha, gray legends for modifiers.

Yes, your super original, never before IC'd colorway that you absolutely came up with on your own. We get it Puddsy, you like to hear yourself talk.

I like that. Will we be able to get alphas and mods separately? Otherwise we would need both sets to get this look.

This looks pretty awesome. I know it's a totally different tooling/keycap setup but is there any chance for a pbt offering? Definitely will keep an eye out though this looks like it'd be nice to use.

The BEE is our company's logo, so it's not a real novelkey, after Ember my Dark pigeon will start IC, so birds come :p

To me this looks like alphas and mods have the same colour. Which would mean dusk alphas and down mods. I might be wrong of course.

I don't think so, probably the lighting had something to do with it. The spacebar is different from the mods.

Would love to see some split space support (R3 2.25, 2.75 blanks). Probably not in the first round, but I hope for the future.

Are the kits fixed? I like the colours and profile, but so far the kits would cover none of my keyboards (at least not in a nice way).
