A brief reflection and look at how far our community has come since joining. I’ve been in the mechanical keyboard hobby for a very long time. It started as a high school student’s search for a keyboard for writing novels back in the 2008-2009 school year. I thought I wanted to be an author and I felt I needed a keyboard that I could sit down to at my desk and just write. After researching, joining forums, and saving money, I made my first purchase in the hobby, a blank black Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2. I still own this keyboard and while it is heavily modded now, it remains one of my all-time favorites. My HHKB Pro2 with MitchCapped Accents Many people would have stopped there, but keyboards became a hobby. I enjoyed learning about them, and early on, I enjoyed hunting for them in thrift shops. I would dig through bins at Goodwill and Salvation Army while popping keycaps off with paperclips looking for mechanical switches. I searched for a birthday Model M...

It is impossible to predict the exact grid or pattern a particular customer will receive with their kits. Some people may receive a very busy grid, others may not even see a grid at all. All kits wil be unique. We wanted the imperfections to be seen.
Therefore rendering it may not be entirely accurate. Every customer will receive their kits with a different grid underneath.
I’m sorry if you are disappointed, but I believe you set sky high expectations (nothing wrong with that, by the way) because you didnt fully understood what the product was supposed to be in the first place (and that can be a problem).
Me personally (speaking as enthusiast, not the creator) very much enjoy the grid you’ve got, the W looks molten and the others seem like melting. It reminds me of Terminator movies! Combined with a neutral keyset (for example something white) or maybe even Laser GMK itself, I think it‘s gonna look very very nice and cyberpunk. In my honest opinion the gamerish typeface keyset you have going on isn’t helping, the composition looks off. Doesn’t do justice in highlighting the kit which is an addon to Laser GMK. Of course the customers are free to use and display products as they want to. I’m just sharing my personal opinion as a hobbyist now.

Quoting myself:
“Our goal was to develop a product that would resemble manufacturing standpoints from a cyberpunk future.“
This was the first time anyone offered a product like this! Thanks a lot for the support and I hope you have high expectations for Laser GMK, that one is looking pristine!
