iS0 by Illuminati Keyboards

MilkyWay Pavilion is inspired by the beautiful butterflies and moths that flutter around butterfly pavilions. An elegant serif typeface and custom mod icons provide an elegant feel, while the combination of warm and cool greys allow almost any accent color to look right at home. Pavilion offers three accents from famous insects for you to pick your own butterfly or moth: a bright orange monarch butterfly, a golden yellow death’s-head hawk moth, and a pale green luna moth.

Q: How were the colors selected?
A: Colors were selected by comparing pantones to sustainably sourced insect specimens, as shown in the 3 photographs at the top of this post. I would prefer not to release the Pantone color codes to combat cloners; however, if the community expresses significant concerns regarding the colors I am willing to post the color codes. Photographs of color samples will be available before GB.
Q: These lines on the novelties look thin, how confident are you in MW’s ability to produce these?
A: All accent novelties were created with a line thickness of 0.15 mm, and test photos of prior mod novelties with those restrictions are available below of regular and reverse dyesub. Based on how good the regular dyesub tests are, I am confident in MW’s ability to produce the regular dyesub novelties. Initial testing of the reverse dyesub mod novelties was a little blurry, so we’ve revised the reverse dyesub novelties to a line thickness of 0.18-0.20 mm for the reverse keys. I will be receiving samples before GB so any further tweaks that need to be made will occur after seeing samples.

Q: Why are there accent ansi enters in base but not iso enters?
A: MW has a significant MOQ for child kits that have colors not in the base kit, and because this is an accent-focused set, I included R1 Esc keys and Ansi enter keys of each color in the base kit. My understanding is that offering four iso enters is not possible with MW’s standard packaging and would significantly increase prices, so I did not include them in the base kit.
Q: Does this set support 40s boards?
A: 40s users can get nearly full coverage of all 40s and orthos boards by purchasing the base kit and the 40s kit. 40s accents have all been merged into a single 40s kit, along with agnostic novelty mod legends that will work with either base kit, or a prior set you already own!
