Very quick but very juicy update. I got the first batch of prototypes for the Tolkien sets and they are lovely!
There are still a few issues to solve and I had to update a few legends but all in all I’m very happy with this color scheme and the overall look of this set. Unfortunately the Dwarf set had a wrong color for the modifiers so I’m not going to show you that just yet but…
… I guess we need to address the elephant in the room.
I can’t make any promise but I’m trying to have a full set of Elven and Dwarven dice made (from d4 to d20). The above are 3D printed and painted prototypes. I used wax based paint (you may know it as “rub & buff”) that is extremely convincing but hopefully we can make them out of metal.
I do hope they will green-light them because they are gorgeous!

Wow! The dice look amazing. What a fun idea! 🤩
Also I saw the blanks next to the keyboard. They look so delicious! 🤤
I am so excited for these! Can’t wait until they go live :)
Is the green used on the mods the same as the green used in the elven kit of /dev/tty1? It appears darker in this picture. Either way, I’m definitely down for a couple of sets (always felt like the first elven kit needed some more greens).
no, it’s not the same green. This one is a very forest green :)
Every time I see an update to this page i get excited all over again!
These look great. Any ideas where to get a wood case tkl, 65% whatever…
I believe we’ll have a 60% wooden keyboard on the work.
Aaaahhh! Those dice!
IKR?!
If there isn’t a Sauron Eye novelkey imma gonna riot
I’m definitely taking these with me to Isengard. Such harmonious colors.
And yes, chicks always dig metal dice. I pray to the gods they are a go.
Would these be sold on Drop? Please say no…
I’m pretty sure MT3 is a Drop exclusive… Drop drama aside, I’ve had good experiences with Drop. They’re not ‘Amazon’, but they’re definitely as good as other main GB vendors.
…. yes… ?
is possible on the light caps to have the script in irish green rather than black?
except quality what is the difference between mt3 by matt3o on the rest.
I made a test and I feel there’s not enough contrast with green (the light caps are a lil darker than they seem in picture).
MT3 is a high profile set with spherical cups.
on this you are the expert! Thanks!
I know what MT3 is my question was more related what is the difference between the sets designed by you, and the MT3 sets designed by others
oh okay. Well, the tooling is the same so technically not much difference. They just use the profile I designed.
thanks. so is only the eyes difference… which is a lot.
omgggggg
Any target dates on when these keycap sets will be ready for order?
The Tolkien guys are reviewing my designs while we speak. As soon as they greenlight them we can start!
Also they approved the dice sets!
Awesome, I’m keen. Love your work
Any update on the Dark Speech concept? Did that get dropped?
He mentioned in one of the other posts on here that there just wasn’t enough original material to do a full keyboard/alphabet in that language.
