Cheers, enthusiasts!
Today I’m happy to officially announce the release of an all new keycap set project that I’ve been working on recently, conceived to rethink some rules and expand new routes that I felt were unexplored in our community - until now.
As you can see we have tons of different kits designed to cover practically any MX stem mechanical keyboard.
What kits are you most interested in, would you like to request additions or changes?
I'm also debuting my brand new journal log today.
In case you wanna read my insights and discover a bit more about Canvas and other projects, feel invited to visit it!

Let me know, I'm always here!

MiToAny special reason for going with the XDA profile? It looks like it's just a deeper dished DSA? I am really enjoying the icon modifiers over the text modifiers. And I am personally not a huge fan of the font, but it isn't a deal breaker.
As for the kits, I would probably go Alpha, Icon Modifier, and Numpad. Maybe include the Tsangan Icons if I wanted to support my RS96 coming in March (which will actually be used with your Godspeed caps <3)

MiToIcon modifiers for Ergodox, please. I much prefer having symbols, leaves a bit of mystery and flexibility in the layout, and the text legends look so cramped on the vertically-oriented caps :/

MiTo@MiTo I'm not sure if this is scoped appropriately to the question you've asked or if this is a better question for Massdrop at large, but has any thought been given to offering kit "bundles" when group buys happen? I.e., "You need kit A, B, and C to cover a TrueFox WhiteFox layout. Buy Bundle 3 to cover that layout." That said, I'd probably go with Alpha, Icon Mod, and Tsangan Icon Mods.

mbsurfer > Any special reason for going with the XDA profile?
Yes, we are debuting this profile on Massdrop and to get things started we are doing XDA for this design. XDA is a taller and more pronounced version of the DSA profile, something like a hybrid between SA row 3 and proper DSA.
Those kits should be enough for the RS96, thanks a lot for the Godspeed support, it should be there with you soon.
Let me know if you require further assistance!

MiTovery nice work. Are these building off of the XDA blanks that are currently making the rounds or are these completely new?
yellow looks amazing in the render. Any chance of somehow working it into more than just 1 kit? Maybe an alternative color mod pack with a yellow instead of red or green??
The best thing about the MC rebirth imo, was the 5 sided reverse due sub for the modifiers that give the look of double shot at a much more affordable price
I'm planning to pick up the base set with icon modifiers. Just have to plan a build around it now :)

MiToI admire your work, MiTo! Congratulations on this new venture, and best of luck! I will be reading your journal shortly.
Will any of your past work make a comeback?
As for this particular set, I prefer the icon mods over the text mods, because some of the text mods look a little crowded -- it must be the effect of having horizontally slim typography, however. Are the icon mods for 'code' and 'hack' supposed to be identical? That's a pretty Dieter Rams kit! I wonder if it had any particular significance however, such as why you chose certain positions over others for each rune.

andrewdcatoHey Andrew thanks a lot for the input!
That's a very interesting suggestion indeed, while for this drop we won't be offering bundles like you suggested I am definitely going to create a "bundle list" on our website - https://mitormk.wordpress.com
I'll be explaining the child kits over there soon, so stay tuned!

MiToAny chance for centered legends? Really glad you're giving XDA a chance! Also, off topic, but will the Overcast keycaps be returning this year? I foolishly forgot to get the modifiers, so I was left with just Alphas, sadly.

MiToI'd consider it, but most of those would be wrong for my layouts. Would it be possible to also get blanks, or do you think that would screw up order numbers too much?

MeowgoHey @Meowgo thank you so much for the kind words of support!
Yes, Pulse, Godspeed and the gaming sets will definitely make a comeback and reboot in other profile as well such as GMK.
The icons for Code and Hack are slightly different. Hack has a little start while Code has a little circular dot, does that make sense?
As for the runic kit, those positions were not arbitrary and their correspondence reflects the original Elder Futhark layout/language. We went with the original design!

MiTo@MiTo Thanks for the reply! You're so responsible with your work.
I just noticed the differences between code and hack as you mentioned, but it appears like the renders in the Tsangan Kit (first row), Bauhaus color icon mods (top row, second to last row) are incorrect then.
Just so you know, Godspeed and PuLSE are my all-time favorite sets! I just wanted you to know that. Unfortunately, I joined the MK community this past month so both are out of my reach. (I did get DSA Overcast :D though, without Watchers :( )I also cannot afford after-market prices (e.g. reddit). I look forward to their comeback in both SA and in any other profile. I'll be signing up for them. Please, please keep me updated!
Thanks for clarifying on the runic kit. Looks like I'm something new everyday.

whiteninjazx6rHey @whiteninjazx6r sorry for the delayed reply... Your comment got swamped and I missed it somehow.
For the K70 you'll need:
Alphas + Modifiers (Text or Icon) + Tsangan (Text or Icon) + Calculator + Space bars (you need a 6.5u one).
Does that make sense?
Thanks a lot for the interest and I really appreciate your support!

whiteninjazx6rI've never owned a Corsair board but I'm quite sure in addition to what @MiTo stated you will also need to bare in mind your spacebar is 6.5u (which you can order with this drop thankfully because of XDA's flexibility) rather than the standard 6.25.

MiToThe atomic keyboard uses 3 2u bars, which I find quite hard to collect with the kits. Is there any plan to add a 2u somewhere? Personally I wouldn't care that much if it was blank to fit other layouts and keyboards. It also has 3 1.25u modifiers, but they are in the standard modifier set so it's possible to get them even if it will be expensive and the atomic seem to be quite uncommon so maybe not any idea to add them to the ortholinear kit, I guess. I also use media and audio control keys and can't find any of them in any kit. Is there any plan to add them as well? Maybe in the centered monolegend kit? That would at least suit my layout, but I guess that not so many other have a similar since it's not standard and only done by my own preferences. Otherwise I'm really excited about the XDA profile, color scheme and futhark- and icon layout combined!

For the M68 you'll need Alphas/Betas + Icons/Text Modifiers, it will be very affordable!
Let me know if you need more help.

MiToTo cover a Pok3r with Runic alphas, mono numbers, and colored icon mods, what all kits would I need to make sure the whole board is covered without buying too much extra?
Edit: I guess I would need: Mono Kit Basic Icon Mods Bauhaus Icon Mods Deiter Rams Space Bars
Am I missing anything? It'd be awesome if the gray Backspace was included in the Mono Kit so you wouldn't have to buy the Alpha Kit as well just for that one key. But I guess a blank from the Blanks Kit could replace it. Damn thats a lot of kits to buy :-/

This will probably be the only keycap set I buy all year.
