Updates.
5/10/21

  • Shipping is underway and people have started receiving their kits/mats
    8/18/20
  • Updated board renders
    8/14/20
  • Kits have been finalized by TKC. Unfortunately due to low interest in the color kit, it has been axed and mega-addon kit has been made smaller as to remove the extra color options. Prices have been adjusted accordingly.
  • Deskmat designs are now up!
  • GB date listed as Aug 28th on TKC.
  • Box design is finished but will be kept under wraps. It’ll be like a small hopefully present visual surprise when you get your set in the mail!
    5/27/20
  • New google form to gauge interest in each individual kit.
  • Preliminary prices for kits have been added.
    5/22/20
  • Small update to kits based on feedback. Pricing will be updated once fully finalized.
    7/19/20
  • Biggest change to this update is that the Pantone colors have changed. This is because the factory uses uncoated Pantone colors vs coated. You can see a comparison of the old and new Pantone colors below in the Pantone section.
  • Kits have been updated based on feedback. Big changes are Hirgana w/ Latin in the base kit. I understand the frustration for those who wanted Latin only but my thought process on this was that the theme is based off of a Japanese ideology and based on feedback, this is what the large majority of people wanted. Novelties have been finalized and a lot of you guys asked for a spam musubi novelty so that has been added. Mega Add-on also finalized. A color kit was another thing I asked in my feedback and once again a large majority wanted this. This kit will allow you to swap out any yellow or blue modifier in the base kit. Note this is only works for the base kit modifiers. Part of the reason the Mega Add-on kit is so… Mega in size is because it is a self contained color swap kit.
  • New artisan collaboration: Artkey Universe.
  • Kit prices, Vendor, and GB date have been finalized below.
  • Things left to do are finalize box art and mat design(s).
    5/7/20
  • Created new feedback form to collect feedback specifically on the base kit alphas. (I base my design decisions on the feedback in the form so please fill it out!) Google form
  • Introducing 3 more artisan collaborations! Alpha Keycaps, Sodie Caps, and Wildstory Caps!

About IFK musubi.
Musubi is the old way of calling the local guardian god. This word has profound meaning. Typing thread is Musubi. Connecting people is Musubi. The flow of time is Musubi. These are all the god’s power. So the braided cords that we make are the god’s art and represent the flow of time itself. They converge and take shape. They twist, tangle, sometimes unravel, break, and then connect again. Musubi - knotting. That’s time.”
IFK musubi. is inspired by the thread worn by the two main characters in a popular animated Japanese film. The thread was a physical manifestation of the concept of Musubi and ended up being symbolic of their journey together and apart through both space and time. Whether you’re a fan of the movie or you just really enjoy the colors, please take a look and leave some feedback/comments below!
As of right now there are plans for a desk mat and hopefully some more collaborations. This might change based on level of interest.
