Not sure about the purple, AFAIK Lucy's clothes are more navy than purple, but if it is purple, its definitely darker than the color selected. Not saying it's a bad color, but to me it does not reference the character you are trying to base this set on.

The renders are throwing me off a little, as the purple looks like 3 different colors on the 3 different boards you've rendered.

Kitting is a little weird, is there a need for 2 stepped caps? Or 2 R3 control keys? Not sure why white arrow keys are included if there are no white accents for enter and esc. Do you have any price estimates for the full kit? I imagine it's gonna be quite expensive. Will the novelties (specifically the spacebars) be printed while the rest is dual shot?

Lucy’s outfit in edge-runners is definitely purple and not navy.

Agree with the colours being a bit off - I left feedback in the IC form. Would 110% be interested if the colours are modified to better match the character. GLWIC  :D

I'm interested, but also think that the purple color isn't accurate.

It's purple, but it's a more blueish purple than the one used here

The glow-in-the-dark thing is interesting, it would be nice to see some samples before the GB starts. GLWIC

Is it too late to add Sub-Legends and go full weeb?

Cyber Girl originally had Katakana sub legends as part of the design, however Keykobo doesn’t have molds with Katakana, they only have Hiragana. Which would not work for the theme of the set, and would require a large investment if we were to include Katakana sub legends. Therefore, I opted to just stay with Latin legends.

Hey everyone, hope you’re all having a great start to the week! I’m excited to share that the Group Buy for KKB Cyber Girl is officially set to run from May 26 to June 20. Pricing has been finalized—after testing several glow-in-the-dark legend prototypes, we ultimately decided not to move forward with that feature due to consistency and quality concerns. Instead, we’ve chosen to focus on delivering a premium ABS keyset that meets our standards for craftsmanship and durability. With this change, we were also able to revisit the pricing and align it more closely with current market expectations. Vendor selection is locked in, and we’re ready for launch.

I truly appreciate all the support this set has received—the response, feedback, and enthusiasm from the community has meant the world to me and played a big role in shaping the final product. In addition to the info shared here on Geekhack, there’s now a dedicated landing page for Cyber Girl on the official Little Tokyo Keebs site. You can sign up for email alerts to be notified the moment that the Group Buy goes live:

Thanks again to everyone who’s followed along on this journey. We’re almost there—and I can’t wait to get Cyber Girl into your hands 💫
