Title: [IC] WS PBT MIZU Keycaps - GB live!
Post by: Ckeeb on Wed, 10 July 2024, 01:07:09
Hello Everyone,

Thank you for following this project. We are excited to announce that the WS PBT Mizu Keycap Group Buy is live today!

We've have heard all of your feedback and have a few updates:

1. We've replaced the text + icon mods with just icon mods. Hope you guys like the new render!

2. WS PBT will be color matched to GMK Mizu by Wuque Studio. We'll try our best to match as close to it as possible.
We've matched Mizu before with Aurora x Mizu and Alumizu, and people liked how they turned out.

3. We've also updated the kit and renders to reflect GMK Mizu colors. As mentioned above, we'll try our best to match GMK Mizu.

4. We've removed one particular novelty design after more consideration. It's the same one that's present in GMK Mizu but missing in KAT Mizu.

IC thread and IC form but the group buy starts next week. Just why. 
 
I know renders (assuming these are renders) are different from photos, and how viewing devices can have inaccuracies, but this is looking too saturated compared to original. Looks closer to WS stellar. Is there any comparison to any of the previous iterations of Mizu?

Too accurate at this point

The colors are really off. I'm currently typing on the original GMK set and this, if I believe the renders, is not even close, and Chinese copies are actually quite better than this (while still off, at least they come close to the OG blue tint).

I'm really glad to see this set making a comeback in WS PBT; I was quite pleased with the quality of WS Cafe.

I agree with others in this thread, though: I would love to see the icon-only mods instead of icon+text. Also, I don't see a white R1 Esc?

Finally, in the original post, you mentioned:

We have received tons of feedback in the past years, one of the most important request we found was... [to] update the color of this set.

Are the colors of the WS set going to differ significantly from the original GMK set? Since the group buy is supposedly next week, can you provide photos of the WS PBT set compared with the GMK/KAT/SA sets before then?

Hey Everyone, thanks for taking the time to reply and fill in the IC Form.

1. We've heard all of your feedback and it seems like the overwhelming majority of you want icon mods. So we've replaced the text + icon mods with just icon mods. Hope you guys like the new render!

2. WS PBT will be color matched to GMK Mizu by Wuque Studio. We'll try our best to match as close to it as possible. We've matched Mizu before with Aurora x Mizu and Alumizu, and people liked how they turned out.

3. We've also updated the kit and renders to reflect GMK Mizu colors. As mentioned above, we'll try our best to match GMK Mizu.

4. We've removed one particular novelty design after more consideration. It's the same one that's present in GMK Mizu but missing in KAT Mizu.

Love the new icon mods, any chance we could also get icon mods for the Alt, Control and Windows key? :thumb:
