Hooty is quite the grumpy little owlet, usually disgruntled, tired, generally unimpressed, and always waking up on the wrong side of the bed.

Hooty will feature low contrast and saturation doubleshot greys throughout the set and novelties, with soft, bright pink UV throughout the base and novelties. Same pink will be used as the doubleshot accent legend, and the keycaps in the accent kit. Grey keycaps and legend in the accent kit is GMK 2B. Pink and light grey are custom.

Kits

Base ($134.99 USD) and Novelties ($49.99 USD)

(Two blank relegendables, and two with printed + side-print novelties - The wonderful man that he is, Jae @Prototypist will be providing laser cut papers for the relegendables)

Hello all. Checking in for a quick update. The switch collab will be going on pause for now. The thought for the moment is that these might run again closer to ship date. Sorry to those that wanted to support the idea, I feel I have let all you down for the moment but, I do hope to bring these back a little later on. Normal procedure for refunds from vendors will proceed. Cheers and sorry.

Do you have an update on this?

They show as available in the EU, UK and Australian vendor so I am confused.

Refunds for the switches will begin going through after the buy has concluded, same as any other refund procedure

Understood, but maybe I worded myself poorly.
IllumKB, MYK, Prototypist and Dailyclack still allow you to purchase the Switches. It seemed easier (to me at least) to remove them, instead of letting people still purchase them, only to refund them after the GB is over.
Especially since not everybody reads the GB Thread so they might be disappointed.

I hope they will return in the future, would love them to finish my Hooty builds 
I hope the set is doing well, it really deserves it

Hmm, well I don't run a vendorship or sales site myself, to be quite honest, so I'm not entirely sure what the easier process for them is. This is the information I was passed (that refunds go out after conclusion - it's usually how this happens.) and passed that along myself.

As far as communication, it was also announced in my server, suppose could have done a little more to communicate, but it's not something I'm very happy about tbh.

They will be back soon though, there were some internal details that we couldn't work out in time unfortunately. Will be sharing more info when everything is ready!

Appreciate your nice words and support very much though!

Last day all! Thank you for your support and love!

Space and myself are hosting a giveaway on Instagram - One base kit + supporting kit of your choice - from each of us.

Hope to see you there!

Cheers!
