June 15, 2022: Been a minute since revising this post. MASSIVE updates have been added since originally posting this IC in April. Currently, waiting for approval to lock this thread and provide update link to the [Preorder and GB] section of GH. Thank you all for the support as well as the vendors who have joined in making this switch an in-stock item.
April 16, 2022: After initial IC feedback, corrections have been fixed to fit more with the intended comic book art theme.
We’re excited to share with you Keebfront's first switch project in the 'Villainy' collection lineup.
Inspired by a vintage comic book villain – we felt this hobby needed some black hats to stir things up.
Move over switch recolors, this switch brings something unique to the market by introducing a new type of PE material called HDPE.
In addition, the bottom housing is made up of Nylon PA6 to create a unique sound.
Don't take our word for it, Maker Mods got a sample to try out and he best described it as:

"In terms of sound signature these are far and away the best tactile switches I own,
and I own like 20k switches HAHA...
I'm just so excited rn these [Doom switches] are honestly game changing."

"Doom switches are the best tactile I’ve tried in 2022!
The HDPE top has a deep, low-pitched sound signature, and these are crazy smooth with zero factory lube!"
Lastly, we're the first to work in collaboration with a new manufacturer to go into large scale production
with estimated shipping date of late July 2022 to all vendors, in-stock.
Each switch released in the series will include a one-of-a-kind comicbook art illustration packaging
to further bring out the villainy in the switch (and possibly the villain in you).

DESKMAT
Homefront Invasion Tokyo Deskmat
A compliment accessory to the Villainy series - Doom switch, the packaging design was transferred over to deskmat.
However, instead of the switch, let your keeb be the center piece behind the explosions and rubble buildings.
The goal is that we can receive enough feedback to take into production alongside the Doom switch.

I dunno man, I think you need to rethink a few things and come back with a new approach here. Whether that means a total redesign of your promotional material, or scrapping the idea entirely is not something I'd want to speak on. As is, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

This ain't Doctor Doom's mask, it's MF DOOM's mask. An artist that a lot of people hold dearly, not just in the States either. An artist that passed not long ago, and a lot of people are still mourning. I'm surprised you didn't do your homework well enough to know that it isn't Doctor Doom's mask.
The font you used is more akin to MF DOOM's album covers than it is to any Doctor Doom comic cover.
The kF Doom thing? Regardless of whether or not that's a coincidence, that's a bad ****ing look.
Appreciate your feedback and will strongly consider.
