Some of these look okay but these names are borderline /r/crappyoffbrands territory.

I agree, like 2 of them look “okay.” But holy lord, this is really the best they have? The two “okay” sets are what we have to look forward to over the next year?

I hope more keycap designers eventually sign on for DCX

Lol they’re ugly !

The only one that looks okayish to me is Powertool but I don’t understand that side mods same color as alpha’s and bottom row mods different color.

I’m looking at the sets, colors are bleh and colors mixed everywhere with no comprehension that’s just sad.

Whoever had the idea of mods with the same color as alphas and different color bottom rows clearly has horrible taste.

Almost all of the colorways are ugly. Such a shame.

Jasmine looks pretty good

agree, that was my #1 vote. probably b/c it doesn’t have 5 different accent colors like most of the others…

How about a navy set? How about a deep brown set? How about a nice two-tone gray (similar to Muted)? Then sell accent kits in orange, yellow, pink, blue, and red. It isn’t hard. You don’t have to have a theme to make very nice looking keycaps.

Maybe we’re not seeing the whole thing. Maybe, for instance, the permafrost kit has base kit with all 1 color and that bottom row is an accent option. Maybe the confectionary set is all brown and the accents are optional. One can hope.

I think the one that gets me the most is Arcade - it seems like they’re cribbing from their own designs there. It feels like a cross of MT3 Cyber and GMK Laser. That’s certainly not a bad thing, especially given my own aesthetic preferences but that just feels a bit overdone. Seedless also kinda looks like the inverse of GMK Poker (RIP).

I could totally go for DCX Cyber. I mean heck they could just do all the same ones they’ve already done in MT3; Dasher, Dancer, Camilio, Skiidata, etc…

I’m in! These sound extremely fun, like a clacky clicky switch.

I’ve noticed an annoying trend of keyboard designers referring to standard ANSI with left-hand F-key columns as XT layout, which is factually incorrect, considering the real IBM PC/XT keyboard layout used a vertical enter key. I understand this isn’t possible with modern keycap sets, but at least don’t use the wrong name for it. (actually, now that I come to think about it, it’s possible by using the numpad enter key, but my point still stands).

GMK Astral Light… first update in over a year this week:

Yo… the group buy ended over a year ago and he still doesn’t have color matching done.
