Updates
Update 5-27-20: The set came in on Monday. Upas wanted to send me first
out of all everyone so I can review before anyone did, but
research took too much of my time, and I did not have the
chance to open the package and took some good pictures for
you until today. I failed Upas
…
Final Verdict
The set came out
really, really nice. It is exactly what I
hope it would be, even better. The contrast is great, the
dark purple is muted, the lilac is such a cool touch. The
black has a tint of gray into it (this is a custom black and
not the CR stock black from GMK). Its hard to capture the
differences in person, but if you have First Love and GMK
White on Black, you will see what I meant. Its really nice
to go in a professional office setting, not as flashy like
some of the other sets. Upas and I spent weeks and weeks
sending so many color chips back and forth, then forward
everything to Rama and all (didn’t have to, but I really
want to make sure the aluminum cap will be the same, or at
least very close to the color chip) just to make everything
right, but we did, and I’m happy. I’m excited to see
everyone taking beautiful photos - if you post pictures on
Instagram, tag me at @otani07. Nothing wrong to simp. Our
first love is always a part of us to simp about every now
and then
. I still talk to her every now and then, and I think I
might actually fly over to maybe take her out on dinner or
something after this hahaha.
If you bought a set during
GB, really, thank you for helping me making it happen! Can’t
do it without your help. I know we didn’t do so hot during
GB, especially during November where we had 9009 to compete
against, but we made it through, and I’m glad.
Pretty Photos
GMK First Love (with Spacebar Kit, and Novelties) +
Purple TGR-910 and Purple TGR-Alice
Its hard to capture the purple shade of these two
boards, but they are purple. First few iterations of TGR’s
purple weren’t as lilac as the one from later one (Purple
Jane V2 for instance). I’ll show some pictures down here. I
love both shades of purple, and I think either one will go
very nice with First Love. Black will look awesome too. I
just haven’t gotten my V2 CE just yet. I will see if I can
find some times this weekend to put the keycaps on my
current purple V2. Might do it some times this weekend, and
post some more pretty photos!

Update 11-19-19: I will be mailing out
these sample chips to RAMA this week so they can get a
perfect match on the anodized aluminum RAMA caps. I wasn’t
quite happy with the color mismatching between the color of
the set and the color of the aluminum RAMA caps on some of
the past run set, so I am set to make a difference this
time. Cheers!
Update 11-17-19: Final color
samples approved after final round! See below for detail.
Color Samples
Dark Purple
I received the sample on the left about a month ago
or so from R1 sample. Although it looks nice under direct
sunlight, I wasn’t quite happy with how it looks under
regular room lighting. Almost a bit too dark if you will. I
requested another round, and it came in beautifully. The new
dark purple looks exactly like what I’ve always wanted - a
very rich, dark blue-ish purple. Doesn’t look as pale as the
purple from R1. I am very, very happy with
how it turns out!
Lilac Purple
Was already satisfied with the R1 sample, so nothing
much to say. I’ve requested a lighter tone for R2 just to
see, and to my opinion, it looks much worse. The final lilac
purple I approve is more saturated, and has a lot more
character into it. The other looks quite plain and pale in
my opinion.
Black
So as mentioned, I tried a gray RAL. Looks a whole
lot like the faded, lack-of-character dark gray from a cheap
aliexpress pbt set. The final dark gray/black I decided
to go with is very crisp and bold. This is the same dark
gray/black from Red Samurai. It is very, very nice!
Final Verdict
These are the colors that I have approved for
production. Both I and the lead vendor (also a very good
friend
)) Upas are very excited to see how everything turns out.
I am very happy with the overall result. They look exactly
like what I was hoping they would be. I hope you will be
receiving your set soon! Cheers everyone!
