LightenSThank you so much for this. Something like this should be included in the description for any similar black sets. Does the Darkness key have a more diffuse specular highlight or is that just a coincidence because of where the light source was placed?
I would love to see a side-by-side comparison of the two. Drop says in their description, "this set features charcoal, almost-black keycaps with slightly lighter, dark-gray legends". I would guess "charcoal" would look noticeably lighter next to MT3 White-on-Black, but I'm not sure to what degree or what these keycaps would look like on a black-cased keyboard.
Does the base kit include spacebars, and if so what lengths are they? It's hard to tell if they are convex (i.e. spacebar shaped) or concave, and there are no U sizes.
I believe how it works is for the majority of the double-shot MT3 sets is that back when they were creating MT3 they created a single mold that includes all the keys. This is why almost every double-shot MT3 set has the same sets with the same keys. If they do have extra custom keys the whole set will cost more because of the extra molds that had to be made. But why did they include command and not option? Good question! The longer they make MT3, the more molds they will create so we can only hope some changes are made eventually. Personally I think ortho should include another 2u spacebar, and why not just have command and option be in a 'Mac' kit and include 1u versions of each.
