Will this keycap set have shine-through? Having the lettering be translucent would be SICK. You could configure your backlighting to activate on touch and cause the rune to light up the color of fire for ultimate nerd immersion
This would be awesome, but like @filefish said we would need to manufacture entirely new doubleshot tooling that would only be used for this set - hundreds of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately it just doesn't make sense to do.

You'd need special molds for each legend, that could only be used for LOTR sets, since no other set would have this script. That would cost a fortune. The only way this exists is by making it dye-sub (and thus, opaque) since you can print anything on a blank cap without needing special molds.
All it would take is a very rich LOTR fan who happens to like keyboards. Sadly the communities don't cross often so might take some time to gather the approximately 180k ish money for tooling. But that set would probably almost sell enough to recuperate the costs. Just not much profit though.
Blur410I would definitely buy a set if it were see through. Despite the cost, opaque just doesn't do it justice. Maybe they can run a campaign to get the tooling funds. It would be truly an out of this world setup.
eXpired56kunlikely to happen now, keyboards are on the whole in downtrend. One indicator to show this is the number of people hunting vintage keyboards on eBay, 2-3 years ago every good board had 50-100 watchers and more browsers. Now good boards are lucky to get 10-20 watchers. Mind you these are boards with blue alps and such. Also in-stock GMK sets hanging around for a long time getting big discounts are a sign that keyboards are not the burgeoning market they were a few years ago.
totally. that is the one gimmick that would work 100% with this keycap set. but it will have to be made outside of the MT3 line, which i also would want.
The pictures with the red background look a lot bluer than the initial pictures, any idea what the actual colour of this keycap set is, kinda preferred the darker grey/black look to this set
I'd like to know as well, these newer renders are completely different than the original kit options that were first released... I preordered based on the original kit pictures last year but these newer renders look like a completely different set. Which is closest to the actual colour?
