Hello everyone! In the past two years, music festivals have become increasingly popular in China. Attending a music festival allows me to temporarily forget all my worries, and I make it a point to go at least once a month. I've long wanted to design a keycap themed around music festivals, and now I've finally made it happen!
The inspiration for this keycap comes from the poster of the 1988 Roskilde Festival. The color scheme from that poster conveys to me the hidden and powerful energy of music.

BASE+NOV

I chose to use a semi-transparent double-shot injection molding process to express this theme because music makes me feel more transparent and open. ;D

Alpha Kit

Of course, there will also be solid colors, allowing for more interesting combinations. :cool:

Num Kit

Based on our experience, not many people use the numpad, so we've decided to sell the novelty parts and numpad separately. This allows players to create more combinations at a lower cost. Of course, this is just my personal perspective.

Lamp&Clear Caps

Clear keycap combinations can make customization even more interesting. :thumb:

In the 40s kit, the first row should be r2, and remove the 1.75 backspace from the second line.

I suspect Alt Alphas will be popular. Please consider adding Alt numpad keys to the kit for full-size users.

This is really cool. Has there been any previous semi-transparent doubleshot sets you guys have made?

Of course, our last set of lilith R3's had semi-transparent alpha in them, which worked pretty well, and everyone loved it. :cool:
