Update for accessories:

1.Deskmat

Based on the feedback from the IC form, I’ve done a new Deskmat design with a more deep-sea vibe.
The whole picture represents my inspiration very well, which is a scene that a predator upstream from the backlight of the deep sea.
I hope everyone could feel the aesthetics of silence in a deep-sea environment while placing them on your favorite keyboard.

2.Cable

Since it’s designed as multi-color gradient ramp, I guess the production method will be hard. Hopefully it will match my expectation.

2. IC form available now

Inspired by a picture I saw by chance.

light pouring from above in the deep sea,and a shark greeted the light.

This is the first keycap I designed, hope you like it.

I have tried my best to stay close to the color chart when rendering.

IIRC, Domikey implements this. I just can't find it but they have a set that uses triple shot

That's ABS - there are no extant triple shot PBT sets, and very few double shot PBT sets.

I think Wuque was messing around with PBT double shot but their latest set is dye sub so I assume they abandoned it.

I don’t know about abandoned. Keyreative is (very quietly and questionably) also working on DS PBT. I think Wuque are doing what they’re doing and producing dyesub sets as it’s relatively easier and can be used to fund their DS molds.

I’ll believe it when I see it, of course.

Domikeys only manufacture tripleshot ABS. I would like to see how they manage to do such a thing while doubleshot PBT are quite rare apart from Vortex and Leopold

Also wondering who the manu is. Also I don’t really understand how this is an IC if there’s not even a form to collect interest. Colors look good tho

Japan is apparently the home of a third of all species of sharks (Or at least so a quick Google search tells me).

You could say it's reversed Hammerhead using different shades of blue, the teal used here on the legends is also toned down.

But at the end of the day, what else are you going to do if you want to run a keyset with this theme? It's not like KeyLabs owns this combination of colours?

would really like to see if there are any prototypes/samples from the molds this set would be made from. I can’t really think much doubleshot pbt that doesn’t arrive with some caveat, so I’m cautiously optimistic for this

I wouldn't confuse the two.

Thank you for the picture, the accent enter key already exists
And according to the collected opinions, I will change the color of the Numpad enter kits from dark color to bright blue

What do you suppose that they think "glwic" stands for? Surely they misunderstood.

Looks great. Personally, rather than having so many R1 novelties, I would like to see a 1u novelty on R2/R3 and 2 1u novelties on r4. Would allow for novelties on macro columns and tsangan layouts.
