Off Hiatus soon!
Hello and welcome!
After searching through many different sets of keycaps, I was shocked to find we were severely lacking in green and brown keycap sets. So I felt like it was time to change that. And what better way than to honor the planet we all live on. :)
The Story
Quote “It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.”
– David Attenborough
From a brand new creator and designer, Omnipotent/io2red brings us, Planet Earth! A keycap set that is inspired by the beautiful and amazing planet that gives us all life.
May I present to you…
Planet Earth
Technical Specs


Profile: Undecided. Probably SA (1-1-2-3-4-3), SA 3 Uniform, or Flat/Unsculptured DSA
Keycap Manufacturer: Probably by Signature Plastics
Colors: (Signature plastics ABS) VCS, TGH, GD.
Keyboard Compatibility: Almost everything! Ergodox, Planck, ISO, HHKB, Clueboard, VB660m, RS78, TKL, WKL, 75%, 65%, 40%, and even Numpads.
Price: No quote attempted yet.
Group Buy:(Will probably be done through MassDrop or PMK)
Keyboard-Layout-Editor links:
Keycap Manufacturer: Probably by Signature Plastics, because GMK doesn’t have a green that looks good with brown. :(
(Unless GMK BR1 & N7 are closer to SP TGH & VCS than I currently realize. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.)

FAQ
Q: Where will this be dropped?
A: I am not sure yet. But there is a good chance it will be on Massdrop or PMK, unless someone can help me organize it.
Q: Why doeshave this button? [pic]
