The block style is awful. Please change this.
I also think the RGBY caps should be have white legends.
Man I feel like all these keys are needed to stay true to the SNES...
That backspace! For sure we need that backspace.
boy that's a thicc render
split it into a base and accent kit, should make the price more reasonable
That backspace! For sure we need that backspace.
Good. Will it be replacing the block style, or in addition?
I also think it's noting that if I wanted a light purple accent row, but I used split backspace, I wouldn't be able to. A light purple base |\ would fix that, but I can understand not wanting to add anymore keys.

Some ideas:Sumbody else likes Caps lock+Enter dark purple :eek:
- W, A, S, Z (dpad look), & D (traditional wasd accent) in dark grey
- triangles instead of arrows for the arrow keys in mod color, or dark grey
- I second the SELECT/START keys, in dark grey
- Caps Lock & Enter in purple, looks like POWER & RESET
- Long shot, but I'll throw it out there - "EJECT" on space bar!
- SNES-related artisan raffle
- SNES-Styled GMK Tray Sleeve, looks like US/NTSC Console box packaging - Sherry, PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN! I can help with graphics if need be for this one!
This last one would REALLY make the set special!
That looks fantastic. Two opinions:
-I second the START/SELECT winkeys!
-I personally think the shift and bottom row winkeys in RGBY legends too busy. I would prefer they remain black, or go with the lighter purple color to match the top row lavender alt color.

I also agree, RGBY is too busy on shift and bottom row winkeys.
Please "Control" instead of "CTRL", and Start & Select for Win keys (or anything besides win8/10 logo).
I also think the RGBY caps should be have white legends.
Would also like to see "Control", not "Ctrl".

This is now almost looks like Blue Alert v.2 except those modifiers.
Also no RGBY arrow cluster either...
I think that alpha is too white compared to thisShow Image(https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/gmk-snes-keycap-set/MD-13741_20151217190216_91cb029347747a44.jpg?auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=crop&w=955&dpr=1)
A little bit disappointed that this render gonna be my forever imaginary friend.
No White on Purple |\ key for Row 1? that breaks HHKB compatibility
A light purple base |\ would fix that, but I can understand not wanting to add anymore keys.\| can be do-able
How about using front print to utilize the 'game' theme. Arrow front print on WASD, ABXY color on hhkb arrow so no risk of rubbed pad print.
Edit: I like the idea of purple capslock and enter with Power and Reset text too.

Please no CTRL/START/SELECT.
Just do Ctrl/Start/Select.

To be frank, if you take away that much of the design then it might as well just be a tiny group buy for the RGBY keys and purple F-keys/ESC since BOW alphas with WOG mods isn't exactly unique and you can get WOB/WOG WASD accents elsewhere.
I really like the idea, but I find the kit as it currently is way too busy. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade and this may be an unpopular opinion but I think even the purple legends on alphas are a bit too much; they don't really even fit the (way less cool) NTSC version of the theme super well imo, and the JP/PAL version of the SNES is where it's at anyway.
Anyway here are some of my maybe radical ideas..Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/vQmrGR4.png)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/kD6gyAJ.png)
but maybe this is not busy enough.. thoughts?
And I know nothing about making caps but how realistic is the possibility of using the SNES font for legends? I don't even know if it looks good but just a thought.

I agree on the alphas being too white. I know i'll buy it either way but I feel like it should be a light gray rather than white.

0% chance. It'd be extremely expensive to buy all those new molds.

I’d be fine with that change. I already have hyperfuse alphas lol. What even is the lightest GMK grey?
Does GMK do color matching from samples? Because it'd be neat if they do and we sent them a PAL and NTSC SNES to actually match.
I'm strongly in favor of dropping the muli-color WASD and pad-printed HHKB arrow keys for the d-pad colored WASZ and multi-color HHKB arrow keys from the original drop (with light legends, dark is eh). I doubt that many people interested in this set actually care that much about a special WASD set as opposed to looking more cohesive/true to the theme.
I also agree with the idea of using the Dolch Reborn arrows.
My votes:
No pad printing at all
No special WASD cluster
Standard Cherry-style arrows (not the Dolch Reborn style) in RGBY
RGBY mods
Text + symbol mod legends (not symbol-only)
Control/Alt/Start/Select OR Control/Alt/Power/Reset (slight pref to the former)
RGBY [;'/ cluster
Grey and darker grey -- definitely no white and no beige. Err on the side of reading too grey rather than too bright.

Let's make it happen
Group buys should be up this or next week.
So the greys and purple are based off of the SNES colors. Those colors are the ones that are inaccurate in the following picture:
https://imgur.com/KyzZ3S3
I'll work with thesis to have a better idea of the actual colors.
Wait what?
You removed the controller style keys for a boring regular style f-row...
Is this final? Taking away what made snes unique?
Snes was my all time favorit but this actual might ruin it for me.
Idk what to think right now
From RGBY WASD to Arrow, that even worse imo.
This thing is getting too far from the original design that made everyone hype.
I'd prefer Dark Grey WASZ and RGBY HHKB Arrow Cluster like the original design.
I will not buy that render. The original is what got me excited. The stupid arrow rgby is common and over done. The was and rgby hhkb arrows are how it should be and the reason this set is unique.
I have to say I agree, I understand getting rid of some keys to save costs, but it doesn't really make a ton of sense to actually change the design outright.

My thought is... remove those keysShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/e96CxEh.jpg)
Because they're not contrasted enough to make the key set looks like SNES game pad(they're good but I think people will prefer base colors not legend colors)
Also remove the RGBY Arrows.(again, they're good but I think people will prefer WASD)
If you're planning to make everyone happy(Full size,TKL,60% or lower).
Go back to the RGBY WASD for Full size and TKL.
Add Dark gray WASZ and RGBY [;'/ for 60% or lower.
But we have to add four more keycaps to the key set.
The price might be higher but everyone will happy I guess.
The grey wasz are cool, but I would probably never use them. I actually really like the subtle legend colored version, but full color ones are fine too. I do really like the arrows though for 65%.
RGBY wasd is a total waste of money to me. I have no want or use or interest in them.

The problem of RGBY arrows is they're only good with 65%(also 75% maybe) other than these kinda suck.
The grey WASZ are not necessary for me either, but I think a lot of people really like them(may be the reason that they like GMK SNES).
For RGBY ['/; legend colored or base colored, I'm not gonna use them if they don't match with WASZ.
That's why somehow people do want dark grey WASZ.
but the buttons on the original controllers were purple...Show Image(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/SNES-Controller-Flat.jpg)

As already stated, only the us version was purple.
Intellis set was designed to capture the asthetics of both, US and Jpn/Eu Versions.
I meant the hhkb style arrows and matching dpad wasz from the og snes set.Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171106/7dc271e7a7743c4f3823e975e2c8234d.jpg)
Going wasd looks cheap to me and feels like a bad compromise at best imo.
Also while the original render may have been incorrect, white is definitely too bright for an snes set, snes should definitely be gray on gray.
Tbh I think it would be best to either stick to Intellis design, or (maybe even bette) start fresh with a new design based on the jp/pal snes like many suggested.
I don’t think anyone would mind a fresh take on the real deal reminecant of intellis set rather then a rough copy.
Just my two cents.

I think the initial attraction of the set is because of a distinct set of features that have been removed, and from this render, my definitely in turned into ehh. Maybe.
A few things that would put me into instabuy...
1. Get rid of the plain jane ESC - Pause Row (R1) to reduce key count... don't think anyone would actually use them.
2. Bring Back WASZ in the dark grey.
3. Bring Back the [;/' Cluster in RGBY (Key colour, legends to be light grey)
Other considerations...
4. The RGBY arrows are okay to stay, but won't care if they disappeared as well.
5. Power/Reset on Enter/Backspace
But whatever happens, I do hope this thing goes through with consideration to everyone's input

I do as well. Doesn't make sense using only a fraction of the original design. The original design is what got everyone excited in the first place.
Group buys should be up this or next week.
i am still interested in N9 WASZ cluster, like intelli's original layout, with legends either white or purple to match the rest of the alphas. not N9 arrow keys, please.
i would also be interested in a child/add-on kit like this:MoreShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/znJHRED.jpg)
but not the colored WASD keys, just the N9 mods.
Also, i would suggest removing the center-stem 6u spacebar and replace it with a 7u spacebar in purple. imo, center-stem is still an unproven technology, and basically only benefits people with mx modded hhkb. otherwise, i think you have a nice kit that will cover most popular layouts

:D sounds great! hope you consider adding a purple 7u spacebar. i doubt you will find more than ~5 people who need that center-stem.
might also be worthwhile to take a poll or something on the N9 mods i showed above. i think they could be run as a child kit with its own MOQ. those keys would be very versatile and could be used with any dolch variant keyset. just a thought
We are still working on toxic and a few gmk sets group buy as well as the EXENT. When these are all done, we will get started on the SNES set.

N9 is the GMK color code for dark grey that is used for dolch mods and is also a very common color for legends.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/tei3ps9.jpg)
Yeah, but there are also a lot more sets being run these days. Look at the struggles GMK Necro and Eclipse, sets that would have been fine a year or two ago. Even massdrop has its own SP-style queue forming.

probably. they have been since day 1, but imo they could be purple or even black and the set would still be dope. the purple and N9 and other accents really make the set - rgby legends kinda make it look busy...
I personally prefer uniform mod legends aswell, rather then rgby legends.
Dark gray wasz and rgby hhkb arrows is a must for this set tho!
I'm still worried about the alpha base being too light. I don't need another shade of white and purple set.
Any update? Really disappointing this has gone on for so long without the buy starting.
