Hello everyone! Today I would like to introduce my newest set to Keebtalk.
PBT Blue Velvet
While it is not my first keycap set, this is will be the first one posting to Keebtalk. I designed my first set “KDS Chainsaw” about a year or so ago and since then, I have learned a lot more about Keycap design.
Inspiration
This set is inspired by the Velvet Room from the Persona series in celebration of it’s recent 25th anniversary.
Colors
I am still deciding what manufacturing process I would like to use for this and I will get into that later so below are colors both in SP ABS (which can be recreated thru manus like Keykobo) and Uncoated Pantone if I go the Dye-sub route.
Vendors
TBD
Pricing
TBD - Depends on manu type

Kits
Base Kit
The base kit features a main color of blue and accents of black and gold. Part of the systems of the series are arcanas through social links or demon fusion. I wanted to pay homage to that so the alpha keys feature sublegends with icons for all major arcana that appear throughout the series as well as some minor arcana that also appear.
Novelties - “Residents Kit”
With the residents kit, I wanted to make sure all games and residents across the series were represented. As such, there is a novelty for every resident to ever appear from the first installment to the most recent. I have also included a version of the symbol for the room as well as an eye for it’s proprietor. Finally, I have included the grimoire as well as a “Welcome” for the greeting you receive when entering, and designs with my interpretation of the arcana card face.

As stated earlier, I am not sure how I would like this to be manufactured yet. With double-shot, I would need to UV print the sublegends and some secondary colors and obviously have a bit higher of an MOQ and I would want people who like the design to be able to get ahold of it. With dye-sub, it would obviously be easier to achieve things like additional colors and sublegends but would not be as crisp in terms of legending.
Ultimately, I think I want to aim for double-shot but it will depend on the vendor.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy and special thanks to Juxius for providing great renders for this and my other sets.
