On Monday February 20 at 18:00CET (12:00EST, 09:00PST) I’m hosting a streaming on YouTube. We’ll talk about MTNU and PBS of course, I’ll show some samples and give you some insight on my two new keycap profiles.

We’ll also talk about PBT colors and color matching, so if you are interested in designing sets for MTNU be sure to tune in!

During the stream I’ll give away a Drop ENTR Elvish Keyboard to one lucky viewer :) Rules to apply will be disclosed during the stream.

The stream address is https://www.youtube.com/live/h5e1oV8Zmpc?feature=share

The video will be later available for anyone to watch.

This is probably one of the most important updates I’m going to do about MTNU (excluding the final release announcement of course). There’s a lot to cover so buckle up and let’s get started!

Last week I’ve finally met with the GMK guys in Germany to review the first injected MTNU prototypes and to decide on the next steps. I was expecting “corporate courtesy” and instead I got sincere kindness and a lot of fun.

Time flies when you are designing keycaps! 3 months have already passed since the announcement of my collaboration with GMK and MTNU has already gone through multiple revisions. I think it’s time for a well due update.

The main shapes and physiology of the profile are defined but small adjustments can still be done. We had a few prototypes 3D printed to check the overall look’n’feel and GMK is working on the tooling as we speak. The first batch of injected proto-keycaps should be manufactured in about a month, that will give us a better sense of what this profile will actually be. I don’t hide that I’m a bit scared but mostly excited :)

By now the news is out but it’s time to make it official.

If you follow my Discord you know that MTNU (pronounced emty-new) is the code name of the new profile I’m working on since a few months. You haven’t heard much about it since the initial announcement because I was busy finding the right manufacturer.

I’m happy to announce that I not only found a manufacturer but also the perfect partner with years of experience in the keycap industry. The moment I reached out GMK they showed great interest in my new profile and I feel incredibly honored that they are willing to take this project under their wing.
