Not bad, I like it. Not sure if it's just my monitor calibration, but the red looks a bit orangeish or maybe that's an illusion because of the mod/alpha colors. Not a huge fan of the flame novelty, it doesn't really scream dragon and it's too similar to the SA camping fire novelty I think. Otherwise, I like the set, will be following to see kit breakdowns and what not.

I agree the "red" that you are seeing is done on purpose. Its more of a "Infrared" which appears almost like a hyper orange. :) and yes the novelties will need a little more revision thanks for the feedback!

No from me because I prefer mods darker than alphas, but this is a promising design and I will definitely follow it

+1, reverse alphas to mods colors and vice versa.

Interested in this depending on which way the orange/red leans.  First render in your post has me wanting in since its more orange (and i'm an orange fan), second set of renders is more red and doesnt intrigue me as much. I do like the overall look though. Hope to see more

IMO, I think the novelty kits are a little too much, aesthetically. I would prefer maybe a more simple and subtle look to them. But, the base kit looks really good though.

A mythical beast, the fire breathing dragon Hyperion

Okay, but in what mythology? Initial Googling only came up with some game called Dragon City. Upon deeper digging into obscurity, apparently Hyperion was a Titan with a human form (Greek mythology)...

Any possibility of having another full mod (tkl+numpad) kit in alpha's colour and legends (not sure if its charccoal or black, but looks amazing)? Too many SA grey mods in so many drops, will be nice to get dark colours too.

borderlands had me expecting a yellow black and silver set. Wasnt disappointed though, I like the colors and contrast on this set.

very nice - very interested .

Will this be SP or Max Key ? I think the smoother texture on SP SA will look and feel nicer on this set !

The new renders look nice, but SP's legends and a lot bigger in real life. Fixing that in the renders might give folks a better appreciation for the set.

Not a fan of the arrow keys. Normal arrows please.
The novelties should perhaps have a full fledged dragon in flight (2.25u)? Or tothers. Lots of opportunity here I feel. I like the eyes, but not the scales.

They will be re-vamped, mostly placeholders for now

New arrows are nice ! and so are the 1u dragons.
The clouds look a bit too similar to red samurai
The 1.5/1.25 keys are a bit ... meh ..

The spacebar kit needs to change. The cost will be too high.

Kits should be more like

Charcoal
6.25u
7u

Light grey
6.25u
7u

Red
2.75u
2.25u
2u x2
6u

Could Iso support be added even if its just 2 1u blanks, Iso enter and short left shift?

Also looks like there is an extra |\ R2 key

Numpad should be single 0 not 00?

No mod colour for 2.25u Enter but there is for numpad?

The new novelties are off white on grey background? Modifiers might be better also in this colour scheme certainly will probably be easier to read then the current ones

For the extra |\, I will replace that with a Charcoal Enter
As for ISO, Have not had any requests for it, but if enough requests are made I will add that in.
Hope that answers your questions.
