I plan to do novelties! I wanted some feedback first and see if the interest is there before the time gets spent on those.

100% interested in this set as it is! And UK keys always a bonus. I love it.

Best of luck with your IC!

Colors are good. It's hard to go wrong with Sage and Lavender, but also looks like a diet GMK Zooted (not an insult).
Base kit is nice, and the extensions kit is off to a good start. I feel like maybe there's some room there for a couple more keys to pad out 40's support. I like forced accents in base and alts in extensions.
I'm interested if for no other reason than that green and the fact that it's sculpted SA with base 40's support.

So far, looking great...


The only thing I'd add is a stepped control in the extension kit.

Not usually a fan of green for keysets, but the subtleness of this colorway gives some warm cozy vibes so I'm digging it

Set looks great, and awesome to see more MTNU kits, especially colourful ones, and iso uk in base also much appreciated 👏 R2 up arrows in respective kit colours would be good also.

It sucks to hear this, but unfortunately IC responses for SA were pretty much non existent. 1 week of IC in SA 6 responses, 2 days after changing to MTNU 132 responses. Now this could just coincidence. If people want SA they need to speak up. It's my favorite profile and would have loved for it to stay SA.

Wow I love muted green but never could use SA, now you got my full attention!

My opinions after owning multiple MTNU would be:

- Add R2 Up Arrow! As seen here https://imgur.com/ApeUAOH (https://imgur.com/ApeUAOH) the R2 up arrow is like a warm hug to the finger :thumb:

- I don't love that I'd have to buy the extension kit to not use the accent Esc, Enter and arrows. Is there a way to have them in base, like offer the lilac keys as flower accent instead?

- Sage is primarily green so what's perfect for me is the alphas to be green as well, have you tried with that look?
Mono sets are huge plus to me, I recently bought Rascals and skipped Skyriter for that reason even though I like green more, and with BRG I also bought the green alphas kit  ;D

There have been a few requests for R2 up arrow, i was unaware it was a thing and am looking at adding it!

For me the base is sized like it is to try and keep initial costs down with the increasing price in keycaps. The initial design of the set is to be used with accents which is why they are forced in the base and is a conscious design choice.

Changing the alphas to green means this might as well be zooted and not be run at all, The main insipiration for the set is really cottage core with inspiration from Sage plants.

Thank you! Now I'm good with getting the extension kit with R2 up in it.

This makes me feel different than zooted, probably because of the lighter legends on green, which is more soft and gentle.

I understand and yeah green mods and white alphas look pretty good as is, consider me IN already so what I'm suggesting is more options. It's just that for me my dream endgame since using MTNU would be a unified muted green set, this is really close to that dream hence my excitement.

I wonder if you can gauge interests for an alt green alpha kit? I looked at past sets with alt alphas like BRG, Earth Tones, Bordeaux and ultimately they sell out. I get that this is a newer profile so I just hope that there are others that would want the same. Do you happen to know the MOQ for a kit like that?

Looking forward to the deskmat as well!

I like the colours/concept. Very chill/relaxed.
Nice renders and novelties are lovely
Concept definitely works well with the large centered legends and rounder top face for a cuter/gentler vibe.
Kitting looks solid.
Curious to see how the deskmat will look.
Best of luck!

P.S. I also hate people like you who give 110% for even just kit renders.

Nice set. If we are adding 1.75u enter, we need a 1u backspace to complement it :) So happy to see this added though as I only have this type of 40 in my collection.

The kitting overall feels nice with options available for most in base or ext.
