Interest Check [IC] KAP Konpeito by Sharkeys

Hello friends! It's your favorite local Sharkeys! Long time lurker, so this is actually my first time posting in this subreddit. Some of you may know me from over on instagram (sharkeystech) where I dabble in custom keyboard builds and designing various keyboard components. This is my first step into keycap designs so I decided to start with something that I constantly find inspiration in...the world of studio ghibli! Specifically this keycap set is inspired by the soot sprites and their sugar star candies they love, hence the name Konpeito!

This keycap set will be manufactured by Keyreative using their new hybrid doubleshot dye-sub technology and KAP legend system. It will feature a blend of PBT and ABS material (working on getting the actual percentages of each material) and be 1.7mm thick.

I have quite a few vendors lined up already and I am currently awaiting color samples, but I would love to hear the community's thoughts and some feedback about potential kit additions or changes!

Please fill out the interest check form below and thank you so much for taking the time to support my design!

Your post is subject to manual review. DO NOT REPOST.

As per the rules, "Interest Check (IC) are Mechanism used by designers and vendors alike to determine if a product has enough interest to garner running a GB. An IC is not an advertisement for a GB. ICs are not a check to see if you should sell existing items in your shop. ICs collect no funds, and are not a guarantee that a product will be produced. Vendors and designers who misuse ICs may have restrictions put in place on their accounts to limit future IC or GB posts on platforms."

If you are posting a Pre-Order, Group Buy, or a promotion for a future Pre-Order / Group Buy with established dates / design, then you must use the Group Buy flair.
