[url=https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=107953.0][img width=316 height=120]https://i.imgur.com/pxp7gYr.jpg[/img][/url]Nice design. My one concern is that the geometries for some of the novelties are too complex to be made. May want to consider simplifying the designs, specifically the first R1 novelty and the first two at the bottom.

Seems remarkably similar to GMK moon dust

Only so many colors in the color wheel imo. Look at all the variations on Oni/posh and Olivia, not to mention wob/bow.
Any updates? Really want this to happen ;D
I think the modifiers ought to be more consistent. It's mostly icon+text, but caps lock is text only and tab is icon only? It makes those two stick out in a bad way, imo
purple is my favorite color and i absolutely love amethyst. this is officially my favorite set so far. this better be a reality.
Any updates?
I like it
I see you took my feedback re: a more conceptual geometric deskmat :thumb:,
However will your deskmats come without the wymech branding logo? Sorry, but I do not like it.
Branded deskmats are a no go for me.
What colour are the light alphas? WS2 or CP?
I literally signed up (long time lurker otherwise) to say this GB can't come soon enough. Gorgeous.Agreed. I'm also wondering if the light alphas might work with GMK Future Funk since I missed that kit..

This is a BIG YES for me, love the colorscheme!!
Congratulations on your first IC! I echo others noting the similarity with GMK Moon Dust.
Some thoughts:
- +1 to sorting out your ISO situation. You don't have enough physical ISO accompanying your ISO enter key.
- Please take a look at GMK's novelty guide (https://uniqey.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008759900-Designing-a-Custom-GMK-Keycap-Set-Guide-) to sort out your novelties. That said, I think you'll only have problem with the teardrop stone in R1.
- The Extras kit needs work - lumping in 40s, split bars, and accent bars produces a heavy kit that no one will really appreciate buying. You also need to figure out whether this kit will properly support your dark base - if so it needs dark split bars and dark 6u. I recommend splitting bars off from 40s in this case.
GLWIC!
Love the updates. Def in for the Dark Alphas kit.

Same, I literally bought a keycap set too for my first build and I'm already getting a 2nd one when this drops :D
This really looks nice. Dark alphas ftw
Kits look good for the most part :) There are still a few small tweaks that should be made:
Base kits
- You're missing ISO alpha keys: R3 \| and R4 <>, in both base kits.
- I would recommend getting rid of numpad 00 as it's not a very useful key, and the base kits are already fairly large.
- I would recommend using \| instead of \¦ for the pipe key legends.
Extension kit
- It would be nice to see two generic R3 keys added: 1u Code and 1.25u Code. There are various kinds of 40% users out there, and not all of them like to put Esc or Tab on R3. You can see relevant usage stats (https://i.imgur.com/OVofoyd.png) and their breakdown in this post (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102205.msg2806656#msg2806656). This was a survey that was conducted among ortho users. As you can see, R3 Tab is actually the least popular option, yet it's the only one that's currently included in this kit (besides Esc).
The generic Code keys would cover for: R3 1u Ctrl, 1u Shift, 1u Caps, 1u Fn; 1.25u Ctrl, 1.25u Caps, 1.25u Fn, and more.- A second R4 1u Shift is missing for orthos. A generic key such as R4 1u Meta, Menu, Hack or Code would also work, and would allow you to cover bottom rows without arrows as well. So add one of those instead.
- You can remove the accent 1.5u Enter as that size is only used by a small number of boards (Pearl, Minivan). The non-accent key is enough.
- The kit is also missing a R4 1.75u Lock key, which is a must if you're including 1.75u Backspace and 1.5u Enter. This key also helps cover boards such as JD40/45, Dimple and Minila.
- If I'm being honest, I'd either remove all of the accent keys or all of the non-accent ones, in order to try and keep the kit small and make room for the above additions, which are more important than accents because they expand the kit's compatibility to cover more boards.
Spacebars kit
- 1.75u space is only used on a very small number of 40% keyboards (3–4 in total), and there are already two in the Extension kit, so this can be removed.
- 1.25u space should be added in its place. This size is useful for several layouts, including Alice-esque ergo boards and standard split 6.25u spacebar on ≥60% boards.
tbh i am far more interested by the deskmat than the set, looks very nice with the vibrant almost pink tones of the edge
Both Light and Dark base looks really really good! I hope you use Ilumkb. If you need help on getting Asia vendor. I'll even help you out i just need both of them! ;D

Louis is the first and the lead ;D
I really hope that whatever you do for an artisan that it turns out to be a big hunk of pointy purple crystal sitting atop the keycap like this:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/ICJ0uOR.jpg)

Seems kinda.. painful. Really pretty tho
I feel like a cool Artisan would be a full resin with an amethyst in it, kinda like S-Craft's Pokemon Keycaps but with an amethyst instead

This is my favorite keyset that I have ever seen, I'm praying it gets to the GB phase!
I made a GH account just to comment here and say that I am super excited for this set and I really hope it makes it to GB. Is there anything we can do as fans to help get it there?
Interesting looking set. Looks kinda like First Love light and Moon Dust

omg the groupbuy is on november 11 :OOOOOOOOO still hoping for rama keycap yumIn progress ...
Is there a RAL or Pantone you’re trying to match for this set?Ral design 300 20 15, 320 70 25, WS1
The base set is beautiful, and by complete coincidence I'm in the process of sourcing all my parts for my first cust mech with a purple theme.
n00b question - but is the spacebar in the base set is 6.25u?
Yes you’re right. It’s 6.25
very interesting on this set. just wonder if the dark set with extension kit will match with LILAC Sat75 ? i mean the purple colour, looks similar (very close from the render). perhaps designer can confirm this ?
is your asia proxies confirm ? how bout zfrontier ? last, no price indication yet ? :)
looking forward and best of luck with the GB.

If you're referring to Sat75 R2 Mermaid Purple, the purple is much lighter but I think this set will still look good with the mermaid purple.
Yes, Asia proxies are confirmed(iLumKB & zFrontier). The price will be announced when GB starts.
Very keen to participate in the GB. I love the light base set. This would also be my first GB. What happens next? Do I watch this thread for a link or update on the 11th? (IC form previously submitted).

yes, am reffering to Sat75 R2 purple, you meant that the purple on Sat75 will be much lighter then the purple on this keycap ? how the purple on this keycap compare to JTK Hana for example ? is it lighter or same ? thanks !

A little forum guide reading for ICs and GBs, and I've also now seen the GB post for this. Will look forward to placing an order with zFrontier on the 11th ;-)
pleeeaaaase add a NORDE Kit for us Europeans :cool:
