This is a great set. I actually think like this more than the original Nautilus. This colorway looks like a greener-toned SA Abyss, which was a nice complement to cyan keyboard chassis. More importantly, I like that you have black accents because that means that it will match black keyboards and–if I’m being honest–a lot of popular sets that have been recently released clash with black boards.
We need more unorthodox sets like this. Another muted, another grey on grey, 5th iteration of hyperfuse, black with red, black with white, white with black… That sums up this year. These are great classic sets that look clean but it’s hard to express originality with these.
following a theme of ‘degradation at sea’ (such as rusty copper divesuits, ship anchors & ship nails), I wondered how a rusty finish on a case would look like, so I made a basic paint edit:
What do you guys think? Would it be worth it to possibly ruin a case to get this brown patina or should I just go with a green/grey case?
I think it’s cool. Remember when that person who wasn’t leandren announced he was making a bunch of Fjell cases? I remember him listing a rusted finish and I thought that sounded really cool. Of course you would want to seal it
A couple days ago I mentioned the idea of including an extra B on the 40s kit. My goal with it is to encourage more people with high-end split keyboards which have doubled Bs (such as the EM7, TGR Alice, and LZ Ergo) to have a good reason to get this kit and not skip it. For clarity issues, I’ve also been thinking about updating its name “splitboards and 40s”.
It doesn’t really gain that much of a support, as many people just use a novelty for that key. However, one key could be enough for these ergo users to get the kit.
As a man with an H.P. Lovecraft inspired sleeve tattoo with Cthulhu on it, I feel that it is appropriate for me to immediately buy this set. When it drops!
I like it. I’m not a big fan of the choice to remove the numpad, or ISO support for that matter in the base kit, but I do like the set. More novelties in the novelties kit would be nice too.
