• INSPIRATION •
Far above a distant skyline veiled in drifting haze, a beam of luminous green cuts across the heavens.
A falling star, burning in its final stand against fate, blazes with quiet ferocity against the dying of its light.
In its glowing wake remain the echoes of a grand journey: friendships forged through adversity, rivalries that shape destiny, and the quiet determination to keep moving forward when the path ahead is uncertain.
Meteor Dreams is inspired by a world that blends fantasy and science fiction, a saga that has captured the imagination and hearts of many. It is an invitation to remember adventures with cherished companions across distant lands, and dreams that refuse to fade.
So even when the clouds gather: Charge forward. Break limits. Defy destiny.
After all, sometimes the brightest light in the sky is the one we choose to follow.
• KITS •
Base
[Alert style accent coloured keycaps for both F-row and Num-row is included to maximise variety and preference. You might prefer a classic single row, statement double row, or a minimalist/classic nil accent row. Furthermore, for keyboards without an F-row (i.e. 60%, 65% or FRLTKL), one can substitute the num-row with the roman numeral keycaps for the aesthetic.]

[Preview Kit is currently undergoing optimisation, but I will aim include the following convex bars: white 3.00u x 2, 6.00u, and accent turquoise/green bars for 2.25u, 2.75c, 6.25u, 7.00u at minimum

Disclaimer: Renders shown may not perfectly display the actual colors and/or texture of the keycaps. Please refer to actual photo samples to see the real colours and texture. These are best attempts at emulating the semi-translucent nature of the keycaps, whilst noting that lighting conditions and screen calibrations are also variables that affect colour representation/perception.
• SPECIFICATIONS •
Manufacturer: Milkyway Keys
Profile: Cylindrical Cherry
Sculpt: 1-1-2-3-4-4
Material: ABS Plastic for all non-white colours
Legends: Double-shot injection
Compatibility: Mx-style switches
• SAMPLE •
Sample of primary gradient legends on white. Middle strip is with white backlighting
Accent samples
Materia kit samples
Designer Comments:
The coloured legends are semi-translucent, with unique flow marks. These textures are formed as the molten plastic cools inside the mold and can appear as faint swirls, or inconsistent changes in sheen. This is an intended effect, with similar characteristics seen in my prior keycap set design MW Jade Dragon. Here’s a photo album with some close-up photos of the effect.
I also wanted to design a keycap set that would look nice in the dark too, thus the semi-translucent material of the legends on the white keycaps allows for some shine-through. A backlit keyboard would actually evoke the otherworldly glow of the blue-green gradient and materia colours best. Do note that this shine-through effect is primarily limited to the non-accented keycaps.

« Last post by noisyturtle on Mon, 09 March 2026, 01:15:55 »I built a new computer to replace my 5-year-old build that refused to post. It took a while and I think that a big part of the problem was ASUS TUF gaming motherboards, I am pretty sure that I got 2 in a row (new in box) that were hopelessly borked and that caused me to cycle through numerous other components. Particularly frustrating was the errors I was getting insisted that DRAM was faulty (it wasn't!) and DDR5 is obscenely expensive these days.
Something that I replaced that really pleased me was a pair of Arctic silent fans that really are silent - best fans I have ever used.
That "vintage" comment made me remember that I have an awesome server case (Win98 era) gathering dust upstairs. Besides weighing probably 40+ pounds (20kg) (empty) it has drive space galore, but while there were brackets for half a dozen fans, it only accepts the old 80mm size.
I went through 2x ASUS TUF mobos that had 2/4 RAM slots burned out
I'm a huge 'fan' of the be quiet!Silent Wings 4, and Noctua as well(but those cost about 3x more)

TMK Keyboard Service / Re: [TMK] Keyboard Protocol Converter
« Last post by U47 on Sun, 08 March 2026, 22:40:26 »Mouse support is preliminary but it should work somewhat. I don't have NeXT mouse to test this feature and mouse movement direction is still unclear to me especially. Let me know your result if you have one.
Hi Hasu,
I'm back using my NeXT keyboard with your converter (Git tells me it's been 11 years since I added my keymap to my fork of tmk_keyboard).
I flashed your latest firmware to see how the mouse support works. It does, however I think the mouse has either way way higher resolution than a common USB mouse, or the controller is not processing enough signals. It is very slow to track the cursor, even when tracking speed is set to maximum. Further, the controller doesn't appear to catch button events—clicking either button does nothing.
How can I be of service to help improve the mouse support?
Thanks for all you do,
U47.

Stop worrying, we had the greatest American president the world could ever hope for, the TRUE PEACE president, but the deep state pushed him into something he was adamant about not doing.
___Sorry, but it's the liberal left's fault really 1000%, He's a lecher, a degenerate, and a coward.
--------But you know what Cowards don't do, they don't start wars,
------------The Liberal left, OVERCONFIDENCE in their own ability, starts wars.
_____________If the left didn't push the political agenda, All we would've had is a second rate mafioso getting fat on taxes.
------------------------Now we have a war. THANKS Blue-Maga.
But honestly, this is a good moment, because of a couple of things.
1, The mask comes off, we're not the king of anything. This rebalancing of geopolitics NATURALLY means things will be more fair, and more stable, FOR ALL, it may mean americans will have to live with 20 pack of color pencils instead of 80 pack, but we owe the world, so no biggie.
2, If it does hit the fan, As americans, what luxury haven't we experienced, we've had every video game console ever, + PC gaming, QD-Oled 480hz monitors. No regrets.
3, Humanity just about done killed off the Natural world/ecosystems, so, if we survive this, WIN, if we die, WIN, can't lose!!
4, Even if all this war stuff is over, people have not converted to 100% veggie fast enough, so even if we don't die now, we're going to have massive famine and war-reboot in the next 10-15 years anyway. 100% veggie is humanity's SINGULAR-Path to salvation, and it's NO WHERE NEAR the agenda. We're still contentious on how much and who gets BURN MORE OIL. PEOPLE have no clue what the Economic system is. Any and All growth in the current economic tableture DEPENDS on burning more OIL.
5, Clean Renewable Energy is among the biggest LIE ever perpetrated. It's as bogus as Interceptors, that reality being <5% intercept rate.
6, We got to enjoy Audiophile grade amplifiers for $60
