Hi! Everyone!
I'm very pleased to introduce our new design, the SP SA keycaps "Mechanist".It's all about lowkey blue colors.
As our basic principle that low-key colors are often more suitable for work and long-time use, .so we decide to apply deep blue, cyan , light grey. not that fancy, but more convinient and comfort not only at your home and also at work. This newly designed keyset will match a variety of keyboards layouts , and also have some personalized inteseting novolties for this set, It would be very cool.

Set name:Mechanist
Profile:SA(1-1-2-3-4-3)
Production:SP
GB schedule:2017, TBD
Design:WolfMark Team

Please consider an international kit. This color scheme/theme looks very nice and for me personally and a couple of other people investing 200$+ in a keycap set without proper language support is a no-go.

I have provided a highly optimized ISO-International kit that supports a few very popular locales with just 30 keys:

PLEASE ONLY LOOK AT THE GREEN KEYS! EVERYTHING ELSE IS FOR VISUALIZATION

Thank you for your advice. :D
You said just need to refer to the green keys.
but I also see 3 yellow keys aside. Should I need to ignore the yellow keys?

Thanks very much for considering this!

My goal was to make a 30 keys international kit. The three yellow keys did not fit into that but are pretty nice. If you want o make an international kit with 33 keys, you can include the yellow keys as well.

I have improved the visualization a little here:

These would go very nicely with Dasher/Dancer. A beautiful, full spectrum of blue shades!

In fact, I like the idea so much I just might have to whip up a render or two...

Thank you.
$10,000? Is that USD?
I don't think the price will be that high, It's will be average price.

I'm trying to complete the designs during this Dec.
and then to contact some vendors for help, the Groupbuy date is to be determined.
If we are lucky, I hope the GB can be launched in the first half of 2017. :D

The frozen alphas with the cyan legends looks so good. Can't wait!
