[IC] MW Fright Night - In Group Buy

[EverPresent]

GB Now Live!

Hey Everyone!🦇
I’m excited to reveal my first keycap set! - MW Fright Night
 
Halloween has always been one of my favourite holidays of the year, so I wanted to create a set surrounding the holiday.
From the pumpkin carving to late-night horror binges- the atmosphere of this period is magical- or you could say frightening.

Another passion of mine is classic horror movies-  one of my favourites is the movie on which the name of this set is based,
Fright Night (I) which embraces the 80s grit that I know my fellow horror enthusiasts love with a comedic twist.
 I believe that this set embraces these two passions of mine and I hope that you can find nostalgia in my vision.

If you are interested or have any feedback/suggestions, please fill out the IC FORM.
I would greatly appreciate it and it will allow us to make this set better!

About this set
Cherry Profile
Reverse Dye-Sub
Legends will look sharp
3-5 month wait time after GB ends
GB is 11th of April- coincidentally the anniversary of Fright Night (I) -
^this is subject to change dependant on any setbacks.

Why did I choose Milkyway?

With longer wait times for manufacturers such as GMK,
which seem to increase every year, the time for change is desperately needed.
Milkway is, in my opinion, is one of the better suppliers at the current time-
with low lead times, affordable pricing and high standards.
Since they are relatively new, I know there will be scepticism on the validity of the claims
but I have heard nothing but appraisal for their previous sets - PBT [02/015] to be specific.
I firmly trust that they can deliver this set to a high grade and if you are still unsure,
please comment and I will do my best to answer any questions or concerns.

Hey there! I am unlikely to be swapping the alt / main alphas. However, I am not completely against the idea and if more people in IC responses also want this- it is not out of the question.

Concerning ''also please add a R3 1u pipe to each alpha to support more than uk iso''- Thank you for bringing this up, the 40s kit will solve this! However, I understand that buying a whole kit for two keycaps isn't the best option so I will look into adding it to each alpha!

Hey there! Yes- 40s will be added in the next coming days if not hours!
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply! Don't mind if the alt alphas are reasonably priced!

Yes GB should start at the start of April!

Your first board render is a 40% and you have no 40% keys.

Cmon.

Any AUS vendor, please?

[EverPresent]

Any AUS vendor, please?

There will definitely be a vendor for AUS before the GB - have been in contact with a few. Hopefully will announce it soon!

Thanks, Alex

[maximize]

DEFINITELY make the alt/purple alphas the main kit alphas. No question about it: that combination looks way better. In my own opinion, anyway. 

[EverPresent]

More Updates:

-AU Vendor: Daily Clack
-Collabs: Added Keycravings!


Thank you to everyone who has filled out the IC and supported the set so far!

Hi good set a few points of feedback

- numpad enter in base kit that's alpha colored is a different legend from the mod color (also, why the alpha colored numpad enter, ig for an accent for those using alt alphas?)
- missing f13 from base
- afaik both R4 |\ and <> are unnecessary, you only need one
- 40s currently has no method to obtain purple accent enters - I advise that you add them or remove 40s accents entirely. imo you supported 40s enough to make a 40s base kit but not enough to offer them full accents? seems strange.
- There are 7 R1 nov keys and only 1 accent option - I advise you make one of those black keys purple to offer more accent options. Iso nov would be cool
- Purple accent kit is missing small bars (that you have in your renders) as well as purple arrow keys (which seem important given that you have a separate accent kit already)
- norde kit contains UK iso keys that are already in base - cut them
- board renders show black mod spacebars that do not exist in kitting.

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing these issues to my attention,

I will update all the renders with some more updates within the week or so

Once again thank you!

[EverPresent]

The GB date is getting closer and closer.. And after a lot of feedback from people on Geekhack and from the Interest Check - I have made the difficult decision to reverse the colours of the Main Colour and Alt Colours. I have also updated kitting that can be found below!

Ontop of this, Addon Kits (previously accent kit) will be avaliable in both Orange and Purple! 40s Kits will be avaliable in both Orange and Purple as well.


I am also happy to announce artisan collaborations with;

DreadKeys: https://www.instagram.com/dreadkeys/ !
NibbNubb Keycaps: https://www.instagram.com/nibbnubbkeycaps/ !

Nice, i think the swap was the right move. Hope this set delivers in time for Halloween.

[Faceman76]

Provided that color matching is completed on the first go, Milkway's timeline from purchase to delivery is approximately 6 months or less, correct?

Hopefully, if there are no setbacks it should deliver in time! However, the possibility of a setback is quite high due so I don't want to make any promises

I have contacted MW's staff to confirm this and it should be around 6 months "given that colorsamples are approved & all vendors submit payment in <30 days from end of GB

Production is currently estimated at 3 months from when all vendors submit payments to Milkyway, and depending on your vendor ~35-55 days shipping, all in about 5-6 months depending on your country".

However this on the basis that there is no set backs or delays. Of which there maybe unfortunately that I cannot control e.g. held at customs ect but the hope is it will be delivered in time for Halloween!


Thank you!

One thing I just noticed, I believe F13 should be black instead of alpha colored. Stoked for this set!

[abucazu]

Have you considered adding another addon kit using the green from the letters?
Another thing that would be awesome is if you could make an international kit including Norde and South kits.

You are correct! Thanks for spotting
Thank you for your interest in MW Fright Night!

Adding another addon kit using the green will be unlikely if I am being honest with you, I have no plans for it however there is a slight chance I might since MW doesn't have MOQ on child kits!

I am refining my Norde kit to become an international + UK iso kit!

Thank you for your suggestions!

[abucazu]

Would be possible to include ISO Spanish?

[EverPresent]

Would be possible to include ISO Spanish?

Yes! Most likely will include ISO Spanish keys in the International kit

[abucazu]

If you could make an international kit similar as the one that PBT Notion has or at least have spanish support, it would be a must buy for me. 

[less_blank]

Would prefer to have alice bars in the base kit so i wouldn’t have to buy a whole 40s kit just for a couple caps.

[TheTriggeredPony]

****ing love this.

After some consideration and reviewing recent IC responses- I have decided to re-add the Alpha space bars and the extra B to the Base Kit. Hoping to add renders of updated kitting by the end of Monday.

Thank you

Awesome! really looking forward to this one.

[NS.Greenie]

This looks great.

[Whale_algorithm]

I actually like this set but I do not like dye sub PBT...hmm...if the price is right I may join anyway

[rndr]

Please add an extra B and split bars for the base kit.

[EverPresent]

Please add an extra B and split bars for the base kit.

As mentioned before in another comment, updated kitting will most likely come tonight!

This will include Alice bars and the extra B in the base kit 

Thank you for your suggestion and interest regardless

[EverPresent]

I heard you - Alice Support in Base / Alt Alpha kits, International Kit and 40s changes:

The Colour sample is in production

Less than 1 month away from GB!!!

Thank you for the support

[rndr]
