this set definitely scratches an itch that dark solarized wasn't able to, for me. :thumb:

Actually perfect kitting, any chance at using the left aligned arrows keys?

Also please consider getting rid of nipple homing keys in favor VIM keys (looks awesome on solarized)

Makes a lot of sense. I hope this set does well, it certainly deserves to. Very tasteful in my opinion!

This set is definitely still happening! I am redoing the renders currently to better reflect the sample chips I got from SP, I am also updating the kitting based on IC feedback

And yes I am currently targeting a Q1 2026 GB, with holidays coming up and some good reruns happening I figured it wouldn't be the best time to launch

Update 2/25/2026

GB starts on March 9th!

I've updated all the renders to better reflect the sample colors I received from SP

I also took into consideration much of the suggestions on the IC form - thank you to everyone who responded

The kitting has been massively updated, please take a look!
