He sipped on a warm cup of mulled wine on a chilly winter's night, he was struck by the rich, deep hues of the drink and how it seemed to shimmer and glow with depth.
And so, the idea for the Dark and Mulled keycap set was born. The designer was inspired by the beauty of the drink and wanted to bring that same sense of sophistication and elegance to the world of keyboard design. With two distinct versions inspired by the hues of the drink - a deep, dark purple and a rich, dark red - the designer set out to create a keycap set that was not only aesthetically pleasing, but also a pleasure to use.

And now, the designer has added a new color creation to the Dark and Mulled keycap set - Ultramarine. This brilliant shade of blue brings a touch of the ocean's depth to the keyboard, creating an even more beautiful and captivating look. With its vibrant and bold color, the Ultramarine keycap adds a pop of color to any setup and gives you an instant sense of calm and tranquility. Whether you prefer the richness of the dark purple or red versions, or the calming energy of the Ultramarine, the Dark and Mulled keycap set has something for everyone.

Iconlabs is an official vendor of FNK that aims at global market. While they do have their store on Chinese ecommerce platform, international sale is not their main interest. Currently they focus on their domestic side more. So we are here to bring this nice set closer to those who stay out side of China and give them the deserved customer service.

We agree that there are some questionable decision on kitting and material FNK made on these set. That is something we have discussed with them for months and we will continue to influence for the better future rounds (if they decide they want to). But what they are offering so far, we put them on our website and be very transparent about it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good to know. Since you are working close with FNK, can we get answer to a simple question: why full-Red set, has not red spacebars ? xD

As the previous IC went well, we tried to convinced them to make the red spacebar but it just is not possible due to some limitations in their current technology. The mold and the color matching specifically. Somehow the mold for doubleshot translucent spacebar is unavailable (they refuse to mention the specific reason, can be because it is pricey), and to match the color of doubleshot translucent maroon red to a simple ABS single color (red) is difficult to them. After all, the decision to skip the red and replace it with the white spacebar is the most feasible thing to them (probably to keep the cost low).

Not that it matters at this point, but there's absolutely no reason to include an r2 1.75u backspace if you're lacking an r2 1.25u tab and r2 1.5u enter. The included r2 1.75u enter is almost as useless as the backspace.
