Your IC form is set to requiring access. Please make it public so it can be completed.  ;D

I enjoy the format and profile of my GSA caps and I'd likely get this set too!

I like it, but more beige, less colors. At least give people choice to make it all beige.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. But due to limited space, I can't make too many adjustments

This is a shame, I really think all the colors are gonna hurt this set way more than they help. Most of the people who will be interested in this set will interested because of the retro nature of the theme, which the colors hugely clash with IMHO. I think you'd really be better off offering an all beige base kit with a child kit or kits for the colored keys if you're dead set on running this with the colored keys. For me personally the fact this set does not have the keys to run it all beige is the deal killer. If there was a way to make this all beige I'd mostly be in for set despite it being pad printed. I really like the inspiration, but feel like the colored keys betray that inspiration & really mess up the retro theme of this.

My idea is to combine retro with modern colors, not archaeology. Pure beige sets make me feel very boring and there are already too many similar sets. I don't want to be one of them. And if I add pure beige sets in the way of winmix, the price will be very high, and I don't want this to happen. If there is enough data to show that more people need beige sets, I will reconsider adding them, but at least it is difficult to achieve at present.Thank you :thumb:

Seconding the beige only sentiment, the colors add nothing for me and make no sense thematically. Hard pass on the forced accents.

this looks very very cool but I agree with the general sentiment. base should be full beige + a set of colored accents just like GMK extended 2048 did. whether you put the accents in base or in a separate kit it's up to you, just avoid forcing the accents.

ok,I will try to add full beige to other profile, but currently this kit cannot make any adjustments. Because this profile is sold as ‘all in one’ set and is about to be completed. :thumb:
