How about support for 75%, 65%, ISO ?I Hope the Base Kit will be less than $100 when the quantity is enough, and ISO kit is not include this ROUND1 :(
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.
This looks really promising. I would buy a set of the dusk. I think that all new profiles need atleast a look at so good work!:thumb:Glad you like it
So, basically like a "SA Yolch" set, but made in China?
Interesting, would like to see how this will feel compared to SA and MT3
This is quite pretty. Almost reminds me of JTK Yolch, but a more subtle version with a hint of carbon.only larger than original hipro :p
Since you mentioned a larger surface area, are we talking the area of XDA or SA?
What are the butts like?Yes, they are thick as SP SA
Are they thick?
LÄMP? should be a moth, not a bee :))I didn't design some novelty key this round, and the BEE is our Logo, so you will see them all the time :pShow Image(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS6zMo2lhdXSUSO3B05uuxIa_ONWPjUmFLYpz2sp2kWS7P8LbdK)
i need to get one just for the novelty :thumb:
I am sure I have seen this novelty keycaps somewhere, aliexpress maybe. Anyway, base colors are looking goood :thumb:This BEE is our company's logo, but some guys made lots of fakes, so far only MDA, SP SA profile BEE keycaps is authentic
Any price estimates for the kits?I Hope the Base Kit will be less than $100 when the quantity is enough :D
ISO seems to be a bit of a glaring omission. 50% of the world grew up on ISO.I have lived in london for many years, so I understand some people need ISO kit, but this ROUND is out of ISO, we will make them next set in near furture.

The tooling cost a lot, so we want to make small kit first ;DISO seems to be a bit of a glaring omission. 50% of the world grew up on ISO.I have lived in london for many years, so I understand some people need ISO kit, but this ROUND is out of ISO, we will make them next set in near furture.
Will def be in for ISO version! Love the look of this set by the way. Apologies if my tone was off, I'm just a bit disappointed at seeing less and less sets include physical ISO support.

How about some blanks to fill the gaps for an ortho layout? Would also love some split space support like 2.25,1.25,2.75.Any chance for additional kits?
+ where is R3 Control keycap ?
+ At the same time they force people to buy numpad keycaps. What a waste of plastic !
How about some blanks to fill the gaps for an ortho layout? Would also love some split space support like 2.25,1.25,2.75.Another ortho and split user here. Ortho/split kit would be quite small but popular I think!
Looks promising and having another alternative to SA and MT3 would be nice.
+ where is R3 Control keycap ?
+ At the same time they force people to buy numpad keycaps. What a waste of plastic !
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.
So are these a different profile from SA keycaps?yes
City of Ember - I liked that movie.YES, kind of Deep dish version SA ;D
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!After this round, we will add some moulds, hopefully include Ergo and Planck kit
Oh and also: uniform r3? :)
Oh and also: uniform r3? :)
hmmm... so topre hi pro for mx you say??Yes
When you say that its based off of topre hipro, how similar is it to hipro?Very
If there is a prototype, it'd be nice to hear some typing sound samples.We only have R1 sample now, when everything done, I will test them
I like the dusk set for sure.Basic high is very similar as SA, deeper dish
Could you explain how these would compare to SP SA? I'm unfamiliar with topre hipro..

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.

3D print samples
My observations:pretty much
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.
Samples look nice. It might be too early to ask this. Is there any plan for this profile to be open for other color themes?Yes, We will :p

Question I forgot to ask: Will SDF and JKL keys on the home row scooped like HiPro?That's a good idea, I will think about it when we plan to add moulds
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.
Actually I have lots of plans to do, but also welcome you guys give me some inspiration :pSome classics like Honeywell, Dolch would be welcome :)

We need some original ideas :pThose 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.
this literally uses the same color codes i used for yolchYes, your super original, never before IC'd colorway that you absolutely came up with on your own. We get it Puddsy, you like to hear yourself talk.

Will there be a bird model after the bee?The BEE is our company's logo, so it's not a real novelkey, after Ember my Dark pigeon will start IC, so birds come :p
This looks pretty awesome. I know it's a totally different tooling/keycap setup but is there any chance for a pbt offering? Definitely will keep an eye out though this looks like it'd be nice to use.Only ABS double-shot now :cool:

Looks nice. That said, brown is I think pretty low in most people's choice of colors.Zenburn† users politely disagree ;)

Just seeing this - if it's the quality of Big Bone MDA then I am in, good designers and manufacturing in my experience. I forgot the name change from 0.01 to Muni :)Muni is my name, actually we call ourself MelGeek.com now, I also designed the Big Bone and Big Bang, so we still the same group, only focus on high quality products :p
Are the kits fixed? I like the colours and profile, but so far the kits would cover none of my keyboards (at least not in a nice way).Yeah, actually seconding that... Can we get at least basic ortho support, pretty please?
Wow, that was quick Congrats, looking forward to it! Just a pity it will be handled by Drop and not regional proxies. I'm in either wayIf 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.
I would prefer regional proxies to drop any day. How long will the drop last for? I don't think I can jump in this soon as I don't have the finance to do so... I hope there'll be extras so I can get them later in oct.I still don't have the date, normally only one week
Friendly reminder that offering blanks require minimal effort (they are basically less fabrications steps) and at the same time broadens the target hence increases profits.Unless their tooling is like JTK's cherry molds, in which case blanks would still be double shot, a la JTK Red Riot.
Please offer blanks and be our end game.

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

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
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.About three renders was finished before the KIT, so you can find some errors from these renders
I will post images when it all arrives.
Order placed.
