really cute set, I'm not sure how I feel about the icon mods, but overall the novelties are quite cute!

Oh I didn't notice at first, I agree, the icon mods are completely awful actually.
ha, understandable, putting out an IC to gather some info
sorry it was blunt, let me be more constructive.. the biggest issue with it is that it seems to lack consistency, there are lines and dots of significantly varying thickness - makes it look very sloppy and doesn't look like something that should be put on a product that will be selling at a mass scale. i'd revisit the size of your dots and thickness of your lines, and even that you have some sort of consistency in the spacing between them as well. signifiers 90% of those icons fail to somehow indicate their function (take a look at KAT milkshake for some really high-quality and abstract icons imo).
1. inconsistent spacing looks messy
2. apparent dot sizing.. these all look different for some reason
3. poor signifiers... this is supposed to be one of your custom icon mods, but it looks no different from a dash and looks like a misprint if anything. again, even if you fix all the inconsistencies in weight and spacing, I don't think the icon designs from the start have much applicable meaning to match them to the actual function. i.e. the shift key... I can't imagine any abstract way that the icon represents shift.
4. these two caps alone are enough to show that the icon mods don't blend well at all with the set imo. you'd have to modify the icon mods or modify the legends for your alphas
here are some good examples of custom icon mods imo: milkshake by biip, 2048 by biip, ramenstop by plop, micons from mito, etc.
