Inspiration
Just like many have, I missed out on the New Horizons edition Switch -- this is me over compensating.
If you couldn't get the switch, can't get the switch, already had one... here's your chance to get it on your keyboard.
With the power of PBT this set is going to have the massive novelty kit it deserves.
Mentions
Special thanks to meatsmoothies (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=82393) for the help with all of these novelties in such a small time window.

These numbers are fairly close to the numbers at The Key Company for the same time period. Are they the only vendor supplying sales numbers? Or perhaps The Key Company somehow tracks global sales?

imo, doesn't match with the keycaps that well. makes you wonder why they didn't use this picture on the product listing nor the email they sent out...
something about some color form into RGB that didn't translate well or something.
