Please consider adding UK ISO or full kit. Love it and will be buying.

First off, I love Topre Hipro keycap profile, so I'm fairly excited for this set, particularly the dawn colorway.
But as some pointed out, R3 1.75u Control would be greatly appreciated. Why is there a R4 Page Up and R1 Page Down? There should be a R4 End, a R3 Page Down, and a R2 Page Up. Maybe make "ScrLk" into "Lock" like how it is in some SA sets such as Camping, but this is more just preference if anything and isn't necessary, I just find "Lock" to look more appealing to the eye than ScrLk. If the set is under $100 after MOQ like you say you aim to do, then IMO the numpad can stay in the kit, but removing it and making it a separate kit could make it more appealing in price to some people depending on the decrease if it were removed. But if that's not feasible, then I'd suggest separating the numpad kit then, but it should still be in the set whether as a kit or in the base regardless.

I for one need a R3 page up and and R4 page down. I had originally looked at it and thought that’s what it said instead of two page ups. Strange, but maybe a typo.

So are these a different profile from SA keycaps?

They seem more like MT3, i'd be curious to see the difference.

nathanchere · « **Reply #56 on:** Thu, 25 July 2019, 03:18:57 »

I'm not a fan of standard legends but am very enthusiastic about a new SA alternative which isn't monopolised by (mass)drop. Might have to get a set of these anyway

City of Ember - I liked that movie.

This color set reminds me of Amber screen SA set.

So this profile is like SA deep dish?

Any chance there will be Ergodox modifiers one day? I love the look of these, I can see them being a hit. Hopefully I can get it for my Ergodox based boards eventually!

Oh and also: uniform r3?

RedM0th · « **Reply #61 on:** Thu, 25 July 2019, 06:36:04 »

Definitely interested in Dusk set.

I like the dusk set for sure.

Could you explain how these would compare to SP SA? I'm unfamiliar with topre hipro..

sachin3767 · « **Reply #75 on:** Tue, 30 July 2019, 17:36:57 »

Following this for now. I'd be in for R2 with that ISO kit you promised.

kmicu · « **Reply #78 on:** Wed, 31 July 2019, 15:55:34 »

I love this design. Is there a chance for shipping from China or Europe?
(In such case I would wait for MG Ember and drop (pun intended) Drop’s MT3 Serika and SA Symbiosis

)

(And in potential future runs buy additional ISO, blanks, and Typist/Colevrak MG Ember mods).

Is that MaxKeys SA? Since it looks a bit dull in the picture. But the MG texture looks really nice. I'm really looking forward to this now after seeing the comparison shot.

Excellent! I’m very eagerly awaiting an Ergodox set! Love the profile otherwise.

Please please add UK ISO into the base kit. Love this profile and would buy if UK ISO is added.

My observations:

1. Same shape as SA but with HiPro top surface and edges.
2. HiPro used PBT where MG uses ABS like most SA keysets so sound, feel, wear will differ.
3. HiPro was dye-subed, MG is doubleshot.
4. Only time can tell if MG shine will match the beauty of SA when worn properly.

You plan to add new molds after the first run so I assume there’s zero chance for Colevrak or ISO now.
Taking this into account could you offer blanks at least pretty please?

I might juuuuust think about PMing you about a colorway then if there's no planned colorways after Ember.

Question I forgot to ask: Will SDF and JKL keys on the home row scooped like HiPro?

If not, you should consider adding the feature, if not as part of the base kit then as an optional kit. I wouldn't be surprised if having that alone will bring more interest and legitimacy as true homage to HiPro profile.
