Loving those front-printed legends and alpha colors - any chance for an inclusive kit or extra mod kits that would make for an all monochrome set in the alpha colors (like breadbin C64s had)?

Matt3o posted this on his website today. He's working with a company to make a keyboard that emulates the Commadore64! @AlexPk this is legit what we're all trying to do lol.

It sounded a few weeks ago like Matt3o was still working on prototypes of the case with Vortex, and there was hope that eventually Drop might take another stab at Retro as a limited, all-brown set. Aluminum prices were becoming a concern in terms of whether the case would go forward, though.

Adding function keys on the left side just seems a lot like adding burgundy and green keycaps on the retro keycaps set, which obviously should have been full brown with optional grey mods. Just painful to see when it has such potential imo.

Brown Modifiers are a must
For me I'll need to see how this looks on actual boards but brown does make a lot of sense as it would then mirror an actual C64.

I absolutely would prefer this with brown mods instead of red
The red alphas usually sell about 4 to 1 vs the brown ones based on the previous versions of this keycap set, so for the sake of simplicity we're just doing the one version of brown alphas and red mods. That said, definitely open to doing additional mod kits in future runs if the support is there.
I hear ya. Hopefully the brown mods will launch here shortly, and you can always cancel or move things around as needed for the next few months too. @PixelPusherXX I'm of the same mind, but I can also see there being confusion due to the fact that the 2d images might look wildly different in color from the renders or otherwise. I think everyone involved just wants things buttoned down to minimize confusion and the risk of any errors.

AlexPkI saw this on Matt3o's blog..."So no Dark Speech Tolkien keycaps, no Elven dices, no full brown Retro, no MT2 set designed by me (in contrast to what I announced few hours ago)." So there will be no full brown set?
