Evangelion may have concluded for real this time. But for those who believe that its spirit lives on among us, you can make it real, so to speak, with a bunch of merchandise, including the new Drop + FU11.META1 GMK Mecha-01 R2 Keycap Sets.
These keycap sets are an absolute delight to look at without the need to have the head sculpt of the EVA sticking out. Though it may look awesome alongside said keycap.
What makes these keycap sets so brilliant is, the clever use of colors and symbols closely associated with the franchise, namely, purple, neon-green, black – for example.
The combination of purple keys with neon green characters/letters/symbols is just gorgeous, so are black keys with neon green characters/letters/symbols and neon-green keys with purple symbols.
Drop + FU11.META1 GMK Mecha-01 R2 Keycap Sets include the base kit which has the entire keyboard covered, Berserk Alphas that cover 40-50% of the keys and in a different colorway (red/pink set against purple key), Space Bars for, well, space bars, and Novelties featuring keys with green or black keys with familiar words or symbols like the NERV logo, the cells, A.T. Field, and the various minimalistic symbol representing the various angels, including Sachiel and Ramiel.
Basically, these keycaps are super cool. They really make the Evangelion vibe pop without feeling ostentatious.
The Drop + FU11.META1 GMK Mecha-01 R2 Keycap Sets are designed by digital artist/keyboard nerd/cat whisperer FU11.META1 and made by GMK with Doubleshot ABS.
They are compatible with Cherry MX switches and clones.
The Drop + FU11.META1 GMK Mecha-01 R2 Keycap Sets are available now on drop.com with the base kit going for just US$99 (U.P. US$149). Other specialty sets are also available, starting at US$30.
