So, like this: Show Image

Also, colors used are the ones wiki lists as the tetris company's standardization beginning with Tetris Worlds

Like this a lot!
No mounting stem meaning they are essentially entirely useless (they won't go on your keyboard).
You've got some ambitious ideas rek55, but there are many limitations.
I am very interested in the 10-key, the arrow keys, and the home/end/pgup/pgdwn/etc 6-keys above the arrow keys. Those are all pretty awesome.
What are other people's opinions on if the set should include the black keys as well as the colored?
Also, maybe we could get them with black sides and a blank colored top (doubleshot)... it would help make them look like tetris blocks rather than just colored caps...
Like the number keys here...

Except black sides with the colored top, and sharp corners on the top (so the top would look like a pixel block).
Those keys are by QWERKeys, and the good news is they are open to group buys. Not sure what their limitations are in respect of colour, however. Also, making those keycaps with sharp corners will not be possible. This would involve the creation of an entirely new mold which would add CONSIDERABLE cost.
But it seems you're leaning towards SP anyway, which I think is a good move since they are very receptive to group buys :)
