【IC】Dark Covenant——(Physical sample release)
« on: Sun, 06 April 2025, 03:23:05 »
Hello, everyone! This is CHAOSERA. Long time no see and we truly miss you so much!
It's been almost a whole year since we last launched a product.
During this period, we have devoted ourselves to product research and development, and have spent a lot of effort and meticulous work.
Today, we are excited to present CHAOSERA's first keycap product - Dark Contract.

I've seen a lot of stories and anime, and most of the protagonists are cool and handsome. However, I have a special liking for villains.
The evil and cold temperament in them deeply attracted me.
Of course, not all villains win my favor. Compared with purely evil villains, I prefer characters with anti-hero elements.
Due to various reasons, they are often forced to get involved in bad things and fall into darkness.
But even so, they always hold on to what they want to protect in their hearts and fight for it with all their might. I sincerely admire such qualities.
(Of course, they committed many evil deeds, which are indeed unforgivable)

Based on the above, the idea of making a set of keycaps came to my mind.
So, I immediately started a discussion with the keycap designer O1NEM.
We all agree that every villain has most likely experienced intense inner struggles before embarking on the path of evil.
In the end, whether due to external pressure or compromise in self-tug-of-war, they all seemed to have signed a dark contract and have completely sunk since then.

With this concept in mind, designer O1NEM carefully created this set of meaningful “Dark Contract” keycaps.
The overall color scheme of the "Dark Contract" keycap set is mainly black and red. The main body of the keycap is black, and the characters are presented in red.
We carefully designed and created unique patterns on some key keys.Each pattern is exquisitely carved, and the details show ingenuity.
On this basis, we also made a set of special keycaps made of transparent material. When light penetrates, the pattern is looming, which not only greatly improves the texture of the keycaps, but also makes the original pattern more three-dimensional, adding a different charm and exquisiteness to the keycaps.
In addition, we have also made some special "large keycaps" in two specifications, and players can match them by themselves.
The price of this keycap is currently to be determined, and physical samples are being produced. We will keep you updated.
If you have any ideas, you can comment directly or join our Discord for discussion.

I see these will be PBT. What is the keycap profile? Who would be the manufacturer?

Do you have a Discord server? The link above is a site to get the Discord app.

Also, what is the correct name? The base kit picture says "Dark Covenant" but this thread's title is "Dark Contract."

Covenant is correct, sorry, that was my mistake.

We don't have pricing yet, but we can be sure it's going to be cheap.

I’m really looking forward to it! Could you share the current progress of the project and let me know in which month the GB will launch

What's the idea behind the Hebrew sublegends? I might be missing something, but they seem totally unrelated to the theme of the set.

Strictly speaking they are just decorative because we think the Hebrew roots are beautiful.

I think I am asking myself the same question. Hebrew LOOKS really nice, but it doesn't feel like it's aligned with the theme of the set to any significant capacity. Maybe something runic would feel more in line with the theme, or else nothing at all tbh.

Seeing the images of the sample set, I think the transparent keycaps could at least use a 1.75U right shift to make it look more even on layouts that use them. I also question the use of Hebrew sublegends here, just doesn't feel like it goes with the general theme of the set; perhaps Runic sublegends would be more at home here?

I also agree with adding a 1.75U transparent keycap. As for the Hebrew text, I don’t mind either way — the overall design still looks sleek!

Hi,guys
We want to add another 1.75U shift to the transparent keycap part, which pattern do you think is better?
