Hi everyone! Jae here. Here's my second keycapset design. I started this project right after the end of GMK Lazurite's Group Buy, last year. This time I designed a gradient keycapset in partnership with Domikey. I have acquired 4 Domikey Cherry profile all-in-one sets - WoB, Astronauts, Vintage, Miami Nights, and to summarize: I can vouch for the quality of Domikey Cherry-profile keycaps.

INSPIRATION

I envisioned Relic to be a keycapset paying homage to the vintage CHERRY MX ABS doubleshot keycaps, in a modern light - past meets present. You may view the gradient as a transition from classic to modern. Due to my fascination with the roots of our hobby, I researched the elements from the past which I can incorporate with the overall aesthetics of Relic, seeking guidance from the CHERRY MX team (at least for the original color codes they used for their OG doubleshots).

SPECIFICATIONS

Profile: Cherry (sculpted, Row 1 to 4)
Material: ABS Plastic
Legend: Double injection molding
Kitting: 6 (six) different kits

KITS

All-in-one ($177)

Domikey offers 'all-in-one' kits for all their keycapsets, which is a combination of all the kits under a keycapset. Relic's kits are: Base, Numpad, Alternate, Icons, Spacebars, and the Relegendables with its 4 (four) different sets of Relegendable Icon sticker packs



Base ($100)

The base kit supports a number of MKB layouts: 60% (Tsangan, HHKB, WKL), 65%, 75%, TKL, Alice, split spacebar, etc.; in Icon-legends modifiers; and includes a total of 8 relegendable keys (in two different colors) which you can substitute with your F-row/R1 keys, or use as macro keys - these relegendable keycaps can be opened up (the cap is detachable) and you can insert any printed paper/sticker as a cool way to design a single keycap legend.



Numpad ($26)

The numpad kit completes your full-sized and 1800 layouts, or your separate numpads.



Alternate ($26)

The alternate kit includes shine-through (LED) keycaps, Icon-Text-legends modifiers, and CHERRY MX logo novelties (which has been officially approved by the brand) to achieve the aesthetic of vintage keycapsets.



Icons ($26)

The icons kit includes newly-tested (by Domikey) icon legend alternative keys for a number of layouts' bottom rows, including basic Mac support (with special R4 1.50u blank 'Command' keycaps for a Tsangan layout).



Relegendables + Sticker Pack ($28)

The relegendables kit includes two types of relegendable keys:

Type 1 - R1-profile base keycap, with the regular transparent top cap
Type 2 - R1-profile transparent shell to cover the base keycap

This kit comes with a total of 4 icon sticker packs (SET A to SET D) with icons you can pinch away using your tweezers, and use as inserts for the relegendable keys. It also comes with 4 different large circular stickers per set that represent the gradient of Relic.

We (Domikey and I) have already ran a test print for the initial design of the relegendable sticker icons but the one you see above will be the final iteration I designed. If you are new to the community or unfamiliar with the design possibilities of a relegendable keycap, you may watch the video below, showing how to use these stickers:



Spacebars ($15)

And of course, Relic has a spacebars kit to support other uncommon layouts.
*Note: 1.00u and 1.25u keys are R4 blank concave profile keycaps



RELIC ORGANIZER DESKMAT ($25)

SPECIFICATIONS
900mm x 400mm
Rough texture top
Natural rubber-base

I want a functional deskmat, so I changed the original deskmat design into this new one. Whenever I change my keycaps, I always want them organized. People can use this deskmat to arrange their keycaps while building their boards. Since Relic is Cherry inspired, I incorporated the same elements as the previous deskmat design while adding some 'cherry balls'.
