Sorry for the lack of updates I have been chasing time lately... The project is still actively in the works, I have found a competent and affordable dye sub manufacturer, the keycap factory has received a Realforce keyboard (Topre isn't common in China), kits have been set (there will be a kit with alphas only), so we are about to produce a test mold before doing all of them, just to check stuff before going GB. Thanks for your patience, sorry for the wait, and YES this is happening!
Regarding design and colors I am now working with a great designer, and the dye sub manu has pretty low MOQ so we may expect to have at least a couple options from the start!
