It would be helpful to include who your prospective manufacturer might be (GMK, PBTFans, etc...) as well as the material and profile of the keycaps!
Right now, all we can see whether we like the colors and designs, but not much about preferred materials/prices/profiles/etc...
GLWIC!
Hi manhuake! Appreciate your reply.

I am hopeful to have GMK be the manufacturer and their CYL/Cherry to be the profile, but I didn't add the manufacturer primarily because I have yet to find a vendor.

But I will add GMK and profile to the post because that is what I am aiming for. And the base set colors are GMK keycap colors.

Thank you!

Keyboards / Re: Simple Questions, Simple Answers (FAQ in the OP)

Regarding "build quality", it seems to me that any of the large companies like Logitech would be able to completely crush anyone competing with them, because they have the resources to hire people full-time and have a million dollar electronmicroscope to do material science, etc.

So, the most likely hypothesis from that worldview is that all those small companies built by hobbyists are basically just producing expensive waste.

Can anyone explain why this isn't true without accusing me of being a troll?

I might be biased, but bigger companies almost always do have better people on the payroll.

Keyboards / Re: What is best latest TKL keyboard kit I could buy?

Be careful with that Tiger Lite. Mine has an F-row that won't secure switches. So the F-row is basically inoperative.

I think these budget kits, especially what's coming out in the last few months, might be compromising too much in order to keep the price down.

It may be why boards like the Neo80 are so popular. I don't hear about too many issues with them. I almost bought a second one during a recent sale.

As you say, it's important to stick with the fundamentals. If the stabilizers aren't tuned right, then it doesn't matter the cost of the board.

Are you guys tired of alert sets yet? :p

Indeed, we are. Skip the alert kit and run US International in base and keep extensions as add-on kit. (I know you didn’t actually mean it as written)

Also, switch EU vendor in GB to someone that isn’t on the brink of financial ruin, thanks.

I cant say yes or no to those requests yet, but there will definitely be some changes. :)

Keyboards / Re: Nuphy Gem80 problem with VIA

When tried to use VIA, it kinda recognise it, but when I assign proper keys to those ones, it doesn't save it.
Nobody can help you when you are that vague. Save it "where"?

Since you are presumably some kind of keyboard god, why don't you just ask the vendor? Just point them at your profile, since anyone of your experience having issues with their keyboard is going to cost them a lot of revenue.

Continuing to iterate on the novelty keycaps, reworked which keys will have novelties using some of my current keycaps as inspiration. One decision that I need to make is whether the fruity keys are bundled with novelties or separate.

Here is a mock with all the current novelties on a keyboard. I'm liking the look so far though.



I am loving the enter keys and the vending machine and the fruity row, the rest I'm not yet 100% happy with. But I will keep iterating.

Group Buys and Preorders / Re: Introducing the "MK Vendor Trust and Safety System" for Group Buys

Is this project still maintained? It seemed like a well-intentioned initiative at the start. It's been a year since any updates and I haven't seen any mention of it in practice. Perhaps it was a bit reactionary to the vendor collapses of 2023-2024?
