Introduction

In 1996, the Voodoo graphics card was launched by 3Dfx. With its excellent 3D performance and relatively affordable price,
it was not only a great commercial success, but also brought PC gaming into the 3D era, becoming an indelible milestone in the history of PC hardware.

This MG Voodoo themed keycaps are inspired by the original Voodoo graphics card and were designed by Buger.
The MG keycaps are double-shot ABS keycap that is as classic as the Voodoo card, with main coloured in the green of the Voodoo graphics card pcb and feature classic PC hardware elements.

For easier selection, this keycaps set provide a Base kit that supports most regular keyboard layout and of course, novelties kit and spacebar are also available.

ISO coverage seems a little token gesture bearing in mind no 1.25u shift and only a second B to fill the alphas

Not sure if the mould can still be modified, but will consider it.

could we get a row 2 'page up', row 3 'page down', and row 4 'End'? still going to get a base and novelties kits but would be nice to have those keys.

The logic ends up being circular: no one makes ISO sets because there's no market for them and no one buys them because we only have the option of low-effort nods in the direction of proper ISO coverage.

It's not even the case that there are a lot of extra keys to include. Only 6 for a complete ISO-UK set conversion.

Sadly true.  MG is mainly for the Chinese market, ISO kit has a very small demand, in many cases, not even reaches the MOQ. So several of these GBs directly canceled this kit.
