Some updates!

I also created a new IC form to reassess interest based on the changes, please consider filling it out!

Thank you to everyone who have been supportive of the design so far, I really appreciate the feedback and the kindness, this is my first keyset design so I'm grateful for the help/love!

Yes

[ELE.WORKS]

haha,good

[Patty]

Forgot to add color information! That is also now in the main post

[keebibi]

I really like this color scheme! Would you consider making the alphas' legend color dark to increase legibility? GLWIC

Hi!! I really appreciate the feedback, I've seen this a lot and I did consider changing the legends to be the mod color but when I ran the renders I just didn't like the result compared to white legends

I am considering changing the alpha color to be slightly darker or more purple to contrast better with white but I still think the current color will translate well to real life, my renders could just suck haha

[Kokaloo]

don't change a thing honey bun

Updates 06/10/2024

Waiting on color samples from KKB for the alpha, mod and green accent color, all other colors have already been matched

[//gainsborough]

[Patty]

Update 7/19/2024

Aiglatson collaboration added! Please take a look at the renders for the collab artisan, it looks super freakin cool!!!!!!!

I've added pricing for the kits
Base: $90
Novelties: $35
Accents: $20

I've changed the deskmat design, I decided to go with a much simpler design aesthetic, I probably won't run the mats in the GB but please feel free to get a deskmat made on your own if you like the designs!

[JQ27]

Would it be possible to add the following key in the Accent blue to the UK-ISO kit?

[SolidBrain]
