I've always wanted a mechanical keyboard, maybe I'll get this!

 

[N.Grim]

Call me when they make one with the real Super Nintendo colors

 

[Zexen]

I mean

Yeah, I'm having a hard time understanding this point.

 

[Diprosalic]

this looks nothing like a SNES

oooohhh american version, lmao who cares about that filth.

 

[soxinthebox]

That is the ugliest keyboard I've seen

 

[Stimpack]

Ugly as hell, and I don't even know why it exists.

 

[Phil Fish]

Lots of SFC guys here, heh.

Come now, we all know this was the superior model :')

 

[FataIChoice]

Damn that is pretty ugly, but I am not a fan of the grey/purple of the American SNES anyway.

Edit: I've never heard of Gaote switches. I dunno man.
damn that pic posted. You know the one...

Aparently it is an unmarked Outemu switch (same manufacturer).
The following from reddit shows it to be heavier than Cherry blue.

 

[Neptonic]

All that matters to me is the Supa Famicom colors. And this does not have it.
Boooooooo!

 

[Shmuppers]

oh....

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

I need one of those

 

[LordOfChaos]

That looks nice, but for 100 dollars you should be able to get a mechanical keyboard with actual Cherry switches, not 'cherry compatible'.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Lmao

No RGB out = no sale.

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Oh, that Super Nintendo. Not for me, although it would be funny if they followed the American SNES concave/convex scheme.

Right. I'm a proud American, but god damn, I hate that gray and purple American SNES color scheme. Last year I imported a couple of Super Famicom controllers from Japan just to get the superior button coloring.

Cool concept, but I will not be getting this keyboard.

 

[jstripes]

Iconic.

Spoiler

Fuck off.

 

[hitsugi]

Already happened.

Thanks for handling this. Not sure where or how you could obtain that set now.

 

[Phil Fish]

No RGB out = no sale.

It's a pretty simple mod - and well worth the price to pay for the quality it outputs.

 

[FataIChoice]

I'm pretty sure that group buy failed. So nobody has the set.
I think the starter was looking to try again, though unless the MOQ or price is lower, it may just fail again.

oh that's sad D: i'd go for them even though they were up there in price....

Pretty much. An RGB modded SNES Mini has the best picture of any SNES. If that poster truly cared about RGB video, they'd know.

 

[Rizzi]

God the American SNES was ugly as shit.

 

[Chauncy Talon]

So who did Hyperkin steal this board design from?

Pow! Right in the kisser. Question number two. Will it be released by 2019?

 

[hoserx]

Seems they're going the generic switches, but using the shaped the same as cherry approach so you can replace all of these keycaps and eliminate the entire point of owning this "themed" board.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Not even using cherry switches?

 

[Erdnuckel01]

Damn this thing is hideous, just like the US Super Nintendo...

 

[Coreda]

oh that's sad D: i'd go for them even though they were up there in price....

You could keep an eye on the Geekhack thread, it's where they originate. Keycap sets begin there as interest checks [IC] before advancing if there's enough interest to group buys [GB]. There are often GBs styled after various films/products, such as the recent and cute Grand Budapest Hotel set:

 

[novabolt]

Don't worry guys, I'm trying to get this keyboard taken down because you know, no fun allowed and all that jazz.

Seriously, the keyboard looks nice in my opinion.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Looks awful. PAL SNES me

 

[KelpPlankton]

Man I love those colors. What a great look. And I do need a new keyboard...

 

[Jharp]

Just think how yellow the gray parts could get!

 

[Mik2121]

Man, what a reminder of how ugly the US console was, haha! Thankfully in Europe we got the right model.

 

[tsab]

American Super Nintendo colors, meh

 

[Goro Majima]

Looks like a random no-name keyboard you'd see on NewEgg or something. Seems kinda gaudy to me.

 

[CJCW]

The superior color scheme.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I didn't know the NA SNES color shceme was so hated. Purple and Lavender for life. I feel that design language lived on through GBC, GBA, and Gamecube with the purple default colors.

PAL SNES and JP SFC looks like Playskool shit with those Skittles-ass buttons imo

 

[Onemic]

That looks so....ugly

I loved the colours for the SNES, but I'd only want them on the SNES. That thing is an abomination.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

That looks nasty. In a bad way.

 

[GlamFM]

Almost great if it wasn´t for the purple bit at the top with the company logo on it.

Now make a Super Famicom one.

 

[RoadHazard]

Ugh, inferior NA color scheme.

Seems pretty lacking

 

[Nepenthe]

I.... I like the American color scheme. ;~;
