Hi everyone,

Thank you for following our project! We have received tons of feedback in the past month, one of the most important request we found was to make it compatible with more layouts and make it less expensive. While the manufacturing cost is extremely high for such keycaps, we are still trying to work out some solutions to meet the needs. So we come back with the kitting update.

Current Updated kitting (NOT FINAL) and Prototype Photos (https://imgur.com/a/Jcr9wSG)
The base kit shown above is quite comprehensive and costs $320+-.

We're contemplating splitting that base kit even further to make it cheaper for 60/65% and for those who don't need extensive compatibility in the base kit. Per key price will go up, but the overall price will go down for the base kit in this setup.

Please fill out the IC form to voice your opinion

About the keycaps' manufacturing
We use CNC engraving and double anodization treatment to ensure the keycaps come out decently and long-lasting.

Hi Everyone,

We are thrilled to let you know that we finally received the aluminum Mizu Keycap after waiting for about 6 months. The prototype comes out more stunning than we imagine, and we would love to share with you for more ideas before we start a GB for it.

Cool.

I was disappointed with the recent Aluvia. I hope this would be more consistent.

Is it possible for the silvers to be changed to e-white or power coat white? This would look more like Mizu.

Lastly, can we get a typing test? :)

You probably want to go for the spacebar kit as you'll likely need the extra 'B' which is not found in the 40s kit. The spacebars in the spacebar kit should sufficient as well. I would check to make sure that the keyboard you are looking at does not have any abnormal sized mods, otherwise the spacebar kit should be fine.

Wow, those prices for kits are insane to say the least. base + TKL kit brings you to almost ($25 off) the price of Aluvia extras with less keys...
