I'm pretty neutral about the differences in the rest of the 3 designs, but I definitely want to see those bat arrows. They are by far the coolest part imo.

I really don't care much for SA let alone MAXKEY but I've been wanting a proper black/yellow set for a while now, combined with liking the overall theme means I'm definitely buying this if it comes to be.

Best of luck!

PS: I'd really, strongly prefer this isn't ran through zFrontier. If it is I'll have to reconsider.

i like design one the most. it'd be nice to have the regular mods and the novelty mods too. and we should probably figure out what the preferable row profiles would be for the novelties.

design 2 doesn't have alpha lettering. is that intentional?

great design and theme fish/Viv :)

May i ask why? :)

Their GB for Maxkey Ashen ran smoothly AFAIK, shipping was extremely fast with packages send from China with DHL international.

Anyways, Thank you for loving this design ;)

They've always been able to do them, the price was the issue. It is less of an issue now though.

This set isn't my style, so I'm asking purely out of curiosity... what's the connection between the screwdriver enter key and Batman? It almost looks like design 1 is based off one of the animated series, I was curious if it plays a big part in it or something like that.

That, or maybe I'm just crazy and it's not a screwdriver at all!

Not too happy about how they handled the Rain Drop buy they were attempting to run, I guess their pricing for MAXKEY is fine but for GMK/SA they tend to be very overpriced - I personally trust/rather support Keyclack, Originative and EU proxies like Mykeyboard.eu and Candykeys (I'm in Europe) than them but of course it is up to you and the designer; whichever fits you best!

Maxkey changed their novelty prices recently, they are much more affordable now.

Design 1 needs more shark repellant.

all those vendors that you have mentioned are good vendors :). About zF's pricing, their GMK sets pricing have shipping included and most of them are in stock. so I believe their pricing is fine :)

Isn't it going to cost an obscene amount for all those novelties? IIRC the Taboo creator was quoted something like $10 per novelty.

edit: Never mind, this is what I get for not reading the thread. In any case, I'd say the colorway of design 1 looks best but I dunno about the novelty prominence. Though it does need the batarang arrows, those are by far the coolest.

Agreed, design one is best in my personal opinion though nr 3 is pretty good too. Need the batarang arrows.

How about this color way used in GMK Metro? (just for 104 keys)
I think, using more yellow would look better.
