[GB] KKB Kintsugi-Shiro
As the name implies, this set is inspired by Kintsugi, "Gold Joinery", the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.
Boba.types had been working on a black-and-gold version of this same concept, so we decided to team up and work on both sets to bring you guys the best possible versions of each!
Specs:
Profile: Cylindrical Cherry Profile
Material: ABS
Manufacturing Method: Double-shot injection for primary legends. Additional colours on novelty keycaps are UV-printed.
Manufacturer: Keykobo
Compatibility: Mx switches
Disclaimers:
This set will use KKB's metallic-effect ABS for the gold legends and accent keys. Do note that creating metallic ABS involves special powders that are subject to the various injection flow patterns in each cap, resulting in a unique (and unpredictable) outcome. There will also be ultimately inherent limits in emulating the lustrous and shiny appearance of metal in plastic.
