Hello! My name is Minisofu and this is the IC for MW Datenshi!

Interested? IC FORM HERE (https://forms.gle/YgPPUHxKQskkyxb27)


Inspiration
This is another set that was inspired by "TUYU" and this time, by one of their songs named "Being low as dirt, taking what’s important from me".
The main color palette of this set is from the ending of the music video where the angel had become a fallen angel. The main colors are dark gray, red and a off-white with a purple hue

I would totally get this gray color sets if there are options to do gray / white tone instead of red. Reminds me of honeywell sets but better color.

  • I recommend moving the R1 1u PgDn and End keys from base to the numpad kit (example (https://i.imgur.com/UdHZcP6.jpeg)) since those two keys are only useful for layouts with numpads, e.g. 1800/CP/96-key.
  • I also recommend removing the second R4 1u Ctrl key from base since there are no non-40% layouts that use two of them.
  • In place of those keys, I recommend adding two R4 1.5u Super keys to base, to support Mac layouts and various HHKB-style boards.

  • I'm pretty sure most people prefer alpha-colored spacekeys, so I suggest changing the dark gray keys in this kit to white (to match the spacekeys included in base).
  • You can keep the 2u, 2.25u, 2.75u spaces gray as an alternative if you really want to, but I don't think you need to.

  • There are a lot of duplicate keys in this kit which should be removed. For example: R2 1u Delete, R2 1.75u Backspace, R3 1.25u Tab, R4 1u/1.75u Shift, accent arrow keys, R4 1u/1.25u/1.5u Ctrl/Alt/Shift etc. are all already included in the base kit and thus unnecessary in this child kit.
  • Offering only accent-colored spacekeys for 40% boards is weird. Consider changing at least some of them to white.

Appreciate the feedback and suggestion lots! ill get to work making those changes! im not too used to this yet so i appreciate every feedback i can get.

The color palette looks amazing. The dark gray, red, and purple tones fit the fallen angel theme perfectly.
