[IC] SW (B)olch (Entering Production)

[Mcnos]

gonna be that guy and bump this...did this set die?

No, but I'm super late

Renaming the set to (B)olch. I will start a new IC once I have the kitting ready.
- Thanks Lightning

clean & classy set. +1 for burgundy red alongside (or replacing) the blue.

I’m replacing the brown with a burgundy like red. Think it was mentioned

Edit: looks like I forgot to mention that part oops. The accents will be blue and red of a dark variant serparately to try and keep base moq low due to stock colors

[Mcnos]

Blue Accent - Marinedunkelblau

Red Accent - Vogelkirschenrot


Legends will be changed to 2B for better contrast than GR9

I'm guessing you're in the midst of overhauling kitting now but just for the record I'd love Nordeuk, or just UK support, if you could try it.

[Mcnos]

I’m doing barebones, but base will have UK/ISO support

[EdgeOfInfinity]

this is.... actually fire!

i guess i'll never have enough gray/black sets

[pixelpusher]

Will play well with Sky Modo too since the base colors are the same, right?

Might be a good time to pick up Sky Modo Accents

I'm not 100% on the color on Sky Modo but if it's N9 it'll match, if it's CR it'll match as well.

you have my attention

Looks like it will match.  Sky Modo is TU2 legends  on CR mods and N9 Alphas.  I'll definitely pick up this set.  Very versatile.  I'm sure there are even more interesting mixes to be found as well.



Here's my photo of Sky Modo:


Edited here to make the cyan legends gray:


And here is a photo I took of N9(from Q:01) alphas and CR(from WoB) mods with white legends.



Edited here to make the white legends gray. The gray legends of (B)olch will look quit nice, I think.


Also shows how different those colors look depending on the light.

The gray legends might be lighter since I changed it to 2B, GR9 might be a bit darker so I updated it to tackle the contrast challenge. Thanks for those "edits" as well. Good for those who want to see what i may look like irl.

[fuzzypanda24]

Yes, more dark sets!!! 

[Jecxz]

consider my interest checked

[zacdxsvf]

Interest checked!

[Thumb Key]

It's so cool and fits all my black keyboards!

EU - Prototypist

Are you aware that UK is not part of EU anymore and buying from Prototypist as a citizen of EU means very high shipping cost and import fees on top?

That bit could've just not been updated from 2019, and besides this forum has been endlessly whinging about most actual EU vendors for months now so they're probably an attractive option. At least ProtoTypist is reliable (and to the EU you won't pay import fees other than the sales tax you'd pay if you bought from any other). The only difference is around 10 Euro more in shipping. I've had stuff sent from PT to European friends and it wasn't difficult nor did it have hidden fees.

[Cringelord]

I still want this. Also 2B accents maybe?

[diorite]

can you ever have enough black and grey?

Since the accents will be a separate kit I’d like to second the 2B accent suggestion, and maybe those could even be included in base?

prays for international kit

Looks great!

I'd like to see an international kit too. I'll pray with you.

[Mcnos]

As title states

Were going into production soon. Unfortunately CYL is too costly as the hobby has died down and the time invested doesn't seem worth it as I find SW on par with GMK if not more to my liking.

If you have not heard of SW, it's an ABS/PBT blend, comes with best of both worlds from my understanding and I have been using them for months

After testing SW Keycaps with their SW Arctic run this was the summary I came to.

Looking to see vendor options, if you are a vendor and would like to order some for in stock, please reach out to me or YG from SwagKeys.





The accent kit and etc kits will be included with base. Do not have pricing yet but will come back to update with the samples in hand (This thread is just something I keep reviving every blue moon)


I will check on an international kit add-on. (I know some of you were asking, will check if its viable)

The RAL colors have been updated to use Pantones of similar depth. (Blue and Burgundy)

If there are any further questions I have not answered, feel free to PM or post a reply.

Can confirm - SW keycaps are outstanding. 

edit: also the packaging from SW is insanely high quality.  Here's the packaging for arctic
