MG Ember is inspired from movie named “City of Ember”, one low saturation yellow with classical Dolch.

So, basically like a "SA Yolch" set, but made in China?
I see that the images are hosted by Massdrop, so I assume that the GB would be held there as well.

How about support for 75%, 65%, ISO ?
I can spot support for some 65% and 75% layouts. Home/End/PgUp/PgDn order, but not Home/PgUp/PgDn/End order. 75% with Del on the function key row.
Also support for the 1800 and Leopold 66-key layouts.

This is quite pretty. Almost reminds me of JTK Yolch, but a more subtle version with a hint of carbon.

Since you mentioned a larger surface area, are we talking the area of XDA or SA?

I live in London and I don't need ISO. ANSI keys are fine for me.   I have never been told to use ISO keycaps.

However this set is missing some keycaps:
+  R3 PgDn.    Why do you have R1 PgDn ?  Who uses R1 PGDn?
+  1.5u Code keys.  I don't understand why many sets have only 1.25u "code" keys.
+  where is R3 Control keycap ?
+  At the same time they force people to buy numpad keycaps.    What a waste of plastic !

Like the profile but I wish the debut colorways were more basic, like WoB, BoW, or plain off-white-alpha+gray-mods.
That WoB bee keycap is far more enticing than both Dusk and Dawn colorways to me.

Interested the dark set for sure, lamp is tempting but I’d like to see some r3 novelties. The flat profile is pretty versatile, I can see myself swapping out win / fn for novelties, but also using r3 novelties on DSA set escapes  for a little variety.

Second this - many people use Control in place of Caps Lock.

I also support moving numpad to a separate kit, few people now use full size boards IMHO.

That said, I really like the set and would probably be in for the Dusk.

Third this ... R3 Control , and if possible Fn ( for poker users like me, though I totally get it that I’m a minority and it’s not a deal breaker in anyways)

Title: Re: [IC] MG (New High Profile) Ember Custom Keycaps Set
Post by: Findecanor on Wed, 24 July 2019, 02:03:48
I find the "CODE" key to be a bit weird to have on a computer keyboard. On typewriters it was a modifier that changed layer, to one that contained both commands and alternate characters.
On computers, its role is split up between Control, Windows/Command, Alt/Option/Alt Gr.
It started being included in custom key sets as part of sets that mimicked typewriters' specifically.
I'd think that the closest equivalent to a computer keyboard would actually be the Fn key, because that one is used to change layer.

If I were to choose textual legends, I think I would instead prioritise having two "COM" modifiers. That abbreviated legend could be interpreted as either "Command" or "Compose (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key)". Mac users want two Command keys, and some Unix and Windows users want one Compose key. (I have seen max one Compose key on a keyboard). Compose keys are often in place of a Menu key, and they have the same scancode in the USB HID standard.

Some sets use the word "Super" or "Meta" instead of "Windows". Meta (◆) stems from the '70s and is traditional on many Unix keyboards. It used to be used the same way as a command key. Sun/ORACLE still sells keyboards with Meta and Compose keys for use with Solaris and Linux.
"Super" is used by some desktop environments on Unix/Linux. Some vintage keyboards had both Super and Meta, and combinations of them.

It's the identity of this set, they do whatever they please, personally i dont mind as it gives a touch of personality. I do have the "SUPER" modifiers on my SP Honeywell set, and generally i would put novelties in there, i do consider these now-obsolete modifiers as novelties too that define the set identity.

Post by: DJ Shoko on Wed, 24 July 2019, 14:43:23
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.

Post by: ptrick3 on Wed, 24 July 2019, 15:05:52
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.

(In such case I would wait for MG Ember and drop (pun intended) Drop’s MT3 Serika and SA Symbiosis :p)

(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.

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? :)
After this round, we will add some moulds, hopefully include Ergo and Planck kit

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

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.

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.

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.

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 feel like I am the only really hyped for the Dawn set.

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.

MG got a larger surface than MT3, and I think MT3 got deeper dish, just a little

Is that Quinto (https://drop.com/talk/7835/quinto-retro-keyboard-by-0-01) keyboard still on track for this year?
I have not forgotten about it.  😉

If the price is pleasant then Europeans shouldn’t hit any tax thresholds or customs duties so non‑issue from me here, though EU stock would be ideal.

It sounds intriguing, but take a look at that side profile. It doesn't have a smooth scoop like all other profile which leads me to believe they'll be a nightmare to type on.

I don’t have a problem with them, other than the fact that I still prefer the name Massdrop as well as their old site layout. ;) But I’ve bought many things off there and have no reservations about continuing to do so. 
I recently went through my first return with them, after having been sent the wrong item. It’s probably the best and easiest return process I’ve been through myself. 

I’ll be ordering this set from them too, after work tonight. 🙂

I've never had a bad experience with Drop.  The only issues I have is their shipping and prices. (but the price on these caps seems great to me)

Their shipping methods here in the US are incredibly slow.  I mean, once something actually ships, it usually takes 7-10 business days to show up.  Depending on what day that ships, it can take two weeks to get my stuff!  I can get USPS from one coast to the other in 2-3 days usually.  I don't understand why they move so slowly.

Also, most of the things they sell can be found for the same price or sometimes cheaper on sites like amazon or ebay or aliexpress, and you don't have to wait months like on drop.  I'm assuming the "deals" they offer come into play more with international buyers in those cases, who can take advantage of better shipping rates?

Is that clear plastic case also the Mojo60? It looks really good.

I really like how the mojo60 look, especially the cerakote corvette yellow. But it being a tray mount for its price is disappointing, even for the anodized version. Would you consider making a revised version of the case that uses top-mount or gasket-mount in the future?

Mojo60 will keep tray mount to fit all kind of GH60 PCB, and I will change the design details to cut cost in future, so will be more cheaper

This render is misleading.
There is no R2 "Page Up" or an R3 "Page Down" in any of the kits.
Please correct me if I am wrong?

Yes, I don't see a PgUp for R2 or a PgDn for R3.  And I have no idea why there is a PgUp for R4

In another render, there is also an R3 and R4 "CODE"
These keys do not exist in the kit. What's going on? Why are there keys in the renders but yet, they're not supported in the kits?

I am disappointed that more work was not done with this set.  It could have been much more and in the end it seemed rushed and a bit lazy.  It appears to me to just be a copy of Maxkey with a colour change.  That is a bit lazy.  With all that said, I still bought both kits as I want it for my CA66.  I currently have the Maxkey set on it and it feels and sounds superb.  This colour option is a great one for the silver SA66.

I will post images when it all arrives.
Order placed.

About three renders was finished before the KIT, so you can find some errors from these renders

Does not look as muted as the renders but that could just be the lighting.  In relation to each other they still look great.

I got this from Drop today:

"Due to further complications with the Coronavirus outbreak, these orders have been pushed back for an additional two months. This means these orders aren't estimated to ship until sometime in May 2020.

If you would prefer to cancel your order, please contact Community Support using the “Contact Support” button on your transactions page and our Community Support Team will be able to help cancel your order up until it is ready for shipment."

It doesn't really matter to me because what this is going on isn't coming until May also but I figured I'd pass it along.

So how many of you guys got this MG profile set? Or other ones?
I wonder how they feel, compared to HiPro, MT3 and SA.

I got this. In my experience, I think it is the best among high profile keycaps. I have tried MT3, SA, OSA, MG profiles. its scooped top and smooth surface is feel very good.
At the first time when I entered keyboard world, I thought high profile is the best, but these days, I think cherry profile is better because it is more comfortable to use and it makes low noises than higher things.
Anyway you can buy it on their web site already, but there isn't a lot of color set options.
