Manufacturing:
We decided to go for DCD, which is PBT single shot with dye sub legends.
✿ 1° Update
Manufacturing:
We have two options.
1-Dobleshot with UV
2-PBT dye sub
We are currently very inclined to go with PBT dye sub. We are going to be reaching out to different manufacturers and make a decision based on that.
Colors: We have used the pantone guide book and we are ordering the phisical plastic chips and once we get them. It will be added to the post.

Cool set! I would suggest adding some details about manufacturing though - I imagine this is dyesub? Any idea who the manu will be? Color codes?
Also you have two R2 1.5u pipe keys, you can remove one.
-
Also 2x R4 1u Fn
Would suggest 1.5 "Backspace" legend instead of "<- Back" as well.
-
This is fun but I think it should just be dyesub instead of GMK. GMK uv printing can slightly stretch and drift during printing and I think it would be especially noticeable on the fine details of this set.
I also think adding numpad “subs” would make the set look more balanced on a full sized board
GLWIC!!

GMK uv printing can slightly stretch and drift during printing and I think it would be
Also gmk uv printing is far more faded colour wise than the doubleshot colouring so the colours won't match if you are trying to do that (which seems like are) I remember someone showing me gmk hooty in person at the melbourne meetup and the sublegend did not look the accent colourwise.
I agree that regular dye sub (or maybe even a tripleshot manu if they can do that) might be a better alternative. GLWIC

Those sublegend designs definitely don't meet doubleshot/tripleshot tolerances, it'd need to be UV print or dye-sub

Yeah I had a feeling that it would be too complicated to work but still put the idea anyway, don't know too much about keycap tolerances and such to know 100% that cause I've never really looked into it. Then dye sub will be the best option personally.
Thanks for telling me/thread :)

Great thematic! I'll be keeping an eye out! GLWIC!

hello, we have updated the Manu and the colors, and thank you for spot de double pipe key, I hadn't noticed!

thanks I hadn't noticed about the FN key, and the 1.5 backspace key, we will take it into consideration, thanks!
-
Thank you to the people so far who have showed their appreciation for the set.
We have two options for the set:
Dobleshot with UV
PBT dye sub
We are currently very inclined to go with PBT dye sub. We are going to be reaching out to different manufacturers and make a decision based on that.
We are making the kitting changes that have been suggested.
Thanks all!

hello! taking into consideration all the other people's comments we are inclined to do it pbt dyesub, and thanks for the numpad idea, we will see what we can do, thanks!

Does GMK do PBT dyesub?

Nice set!
not to mension, very unique.
-
super super cute. looking forward to more manufacturer info :]
-
Please stay away from enjoyPBT/ePBT at least. I only have one set from them and it's not good. Perhaps they have improved since, but I wouldn't know.

I'll keep eye on that! :)

i think this is a very strong concept, looking forward to seeing samples. dye-sub is prob going to be the best execution in this case i would think
-
any color codes

Wood look good with a good wood board <3

Awesome :thumb: It seems to me that doubleshot in this case will hold up better and look better over time. And I love this bow, connecting with nature is always a plus. It would go very well with my small library and eco-style room.
I like having paper books, even though they didn't help me write my personal statement for college. I used https://edubirdie.com/personal-statement-writing-service (https://edubirdie.com/personal-statement-writing-service) that time. I found the perfect balance for my spirit and mind.
-
This looks really nice. I'd have a preference for doubleshot as well. Lovely design!
-
doubleshot means the (very detailed) subs will be UV printed, potentially more likely to rub off over time.

Is the plan now for Drop to run this (https://drop.com/talk/119936/the-keycap-roadmap?mode=guest_open) this in DCD this October?
-
Huge fan of the overall theme, can't wait to see more updates and collabs!

Looks good! Can't wait

DROP sent me this photo and it looks much better than the samples they sent me in October

Yes, but there were some problems with the brown color and it has been running a little late.

The legends have been modified and the pre-sale has been confirmed for December 4th

Thank you very much for your support, we hope that the preorder is a success and you can have that set on your keyboards.✿

Thanks for sharing the link. Just so you’re aware, the set isn’t appearing in the Mechanical Keyboards section on Drop, so it’s not possible to find it.

You can find it in "Newest" on Drop's home page.
Or set filters to Mechanical Keyboards/Keycaps, although it is pretty far down that list. The "sort by:" filter comes up set to "Recommended". Change it to "Newest" and it's the 8th on the list.
Or just search for "Flower".
I have to say, though, that the organization of Drop's site leaves much to be desired.

Thank you. It wasn’t there when I posted here but is now showing. I guess it takes a little time for their category page to update (no idea why but like you said their site leaves much to be desired!).
