Hello everyone!
The reasoning behind this sale is because we'd like to offer the Canvas XDA keycaps with savvy and simple options, when compared to a traditional group buy (with custom kits). Data shows that the majority of people who visit drops have difficulties in understanding layout differences and most customers freeze when presented with mix & match kits - like Laser GMK, Pulse SA, etc.
Therefore, like you can currently see in Pulse SA - in order to cater to both audiences (hobbyists and newcomers) I came up with basic, complete and elegant kits designed to cover the most popular keyboards out there in a savvy, rapid to deliver and affordable way. You don't need to think what kits you need, a single kit is enough to cover your keyboard (just pay attention to the form factor - 60%, TKL, etc.).
For complex decoration & exotic kits we already had three Canvas XDA rounds with more than 25,000 participants. I want to focus on new projects and new ideas instead of repeating the same project over and over again.
⚠️FAQ's:⚠️
> What kit do I need for my keyboard?
If you have a 40% - it was supported on the previous Canvas XDA drops, not supported in this sale;
If you have a 60% (e.g. Poker, Ducky One 2 Mini) - you will need either the 65% Kit or TKL Kit;
If you have a 65% (e.g. Massdrop ALT) - you will need the 65% Kit;
If you have a TKL (e.g. - Cooler Master Novatouch) - you will need the TKL Kit;
If you have a 1800 (e.g. Massdrop SHIFT) - you will need the 1800 Kit
> Why not making the full drop instead?
I already did several times and would like to move on to new designs and ideas.
> Is this going to be the norm for custom keycap set project sales coming next?
Nope, normal drops (such as Laser SA) will still exist. This, however, is a chance for people to buy easy and cheap kits without solving puzzles.
Any questions, please drop me a line, hope you enjoy this!
MiToI got into the set when I watched a video showing it off and it looked so cool. I wasn't into the keyboard enthusiasm community till April of this year and I'm hoping to get a keycap set like this guy.

MiToBut does anyone really like these sets with no accents ? I mean the colored mods make or break the canvas set, and this only gives you enough to barely cover a fraction of the mods. If your run with ortholinear like me then absolutely no color. I can’t brinf myself to do it. Did mass drops CEO need a new boat and just couldn’t afford color this time? It’s ok we are all just his peasant army anyways.
MdotMaxsonI have full control of what’s in a kit and my goal is to offer simple ones. According to my data of over six Canvas group buys with several thousands of participants, majority of people prefer the muted scheme.
Also a small note - It is pretty tiring to be yelled at while I’m just a guy here working hard to offer nice products for new comers who don’t care about the options that a full group buy has. It is cool that you like Bauhaus but they won’t be covered by the philosophy of mini drops. For complex options there will be the full drops. That said, I kindly ask you to please understand that this drop is not aimed at you instead of finding ways to complain at me. Thank you for understanding.
MiToI'm your target audience and as a noob, I appreciate these kits for the Preonic I pre-ordered. I wouldn't even know where to begin, plus the exorbitant cost and time investment, of putting together a custom set. Too bad people are displeased with the options but it speaks to the popularity of the set, so that's a silver lining.
