[IC] MW Gesha | Updated kitting color

MW Gesha | IC FORM
Please fill out the form. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.



-INTRODUCTION-

As someone working a typical full-time job, I've come to rely on coffee as an essential part of my morning routine, and as I've learned more about coffee flavors, I've
begun brewing pour-over coffee myself. Over time, this routine became a daily habit and personal ritual. While there are already many coffee-themed keycap sets
on the market, such as GMK/DCS Café, SP SA Espresso, and MW Barista, there has yet to be a design centered specifically around pour-over coffee culture. Drawing
from my own experience, I began developing the concept for MW Gesha.

Quote
The name Gesha is taken from a well-known coffee variety. During the design process, I wanted to incorporate botanical elements of coffee plants into the novelties,
particularly the coffee cherry (the cherry-like element had always been popular on keyboards), and icons for pour-over brewing tools.




-SPECS-

Manufacturer: MilkywayKeys
Profile: Cherry profile
Sculpt: 1-1-2-3-4-4
Legends: Doubleshot
Novelties: Doubleshot + Screen Printing
Materials: ABS Plastic
Modifier Style: Icon + Text



-COLORS-

The colorway follows a relatively classic direction, while all colors are fully customized. The concept is to represent coffee beans transforming from raw beans to darker
roasted stages. The semi-transparent Accent on the right refers to the brewed coffee itself.


Alpha / Mod / Accent

Quote
Fun fact: Freshly ground coffee was used as a reference during the coloring process to select the color scheme for the dark mod (the previous accent colors).




-KITS-

To make this design more accessible to more people, Milkyway and I are introducing a streamlined Base kit with a reduced price, specifically designed for 60–65% layouts.
Depending on your preferred layout and compatibility needs, you can choose the corresponding Base kit. This also marks our first time experimenting with this approach.

[08/03/2026 Updated]
Following community feedback, many users suggested making the Dark mods the default color. After considering this feedback, the Base kit has been updated to use
Dark mods, while the Light mods will now be offered as a separate kit.
