Welcome to a world
of colourful chaos!

In a faraway location in the middle of a barren, sun-scorched wasteland, lies a certain city. Hardened by the surrounding desert, the residing cephalopods have adapted to the post-apocalyptic environment, swimming, splatting, rolling and surging their way to be the very best!

Kitting

This set has been designed to let you the owner be as creative as possible, with the uniform profile letting you play around with the novelties!

By taking a minimal approach with the legends, the set aims to let the vibrant colours truly be the main highlight.

Disclaimers

Due to numerous factors like differences in lighting, monitor calibrations, etc, there may be some slight colour differences in the renders.

Every effort has been made to ensure the colours match the original source as close as possible. However, due to the lack of yellows and greens that Pantone has, the yellow to green gradient will not be an exact match but I have tried my best to get as close as possible.

Thank you for checking out KAM Soda Squid!

Changelog

  • Added packaging renders

  • Adjusted enter novelties to use the blue to purple gradient

    Added illustration

  • Design
    I’ve slightly adjusted the legends for the delete, scroll lock and home key. Also added a This Way and Booyah! novelty key.

    Kitting
    The responses in the IC form have asked for separate kits for the base, numpad and novelties. I’ve also added a spacebars kit for better layout support. My vision was to make the base be as close to the original source as possible. One of the key points of the source is the yellow splat so I’ve decided to keep the yellow and blue splat novelties in the base kit.

    Deskmats
    The people have spoken and the 2 deskmats that have won the popularity contest are Spilled Lemon Soda and Squid Party. There were some really great deskmat suggestions, however, I’m only able to run 2 deskmat designs.

    There was some really great feedback in the form and I’d like to respond to a couple of popular suggestions that I am unfortunately not able to implement.

    Pink and Green / More colours / Dark Alphas
    KAM Soda Squid has 7 colours and even that is quite a lot for a keycap set so I’m unable to include more colours. Doing so will also make it easier for KAM Soda Squid to hit MOQ. The same goes for dark/black alphas. It would look really cool though!

    Black version of the Spilled Lemon Soda Deskmat
    I did render this out and it looked really cool! But unfortunately, I wanted to reduce the number of deskmats I’m running alongside the keycaps so this unfortunately won’t be made. I may possibly run a small run of alternate deskmat designs after KAM Soda Squid is over. My favourite was the gradient deskmat and I’m so sad that it won’t be running

    More Language Support
    I’ve decided to not create more kits for broader language support. I understand that this excludes a large group of people, however, this is my first keycap set and I’d like to keep things simple and make sure it’s successful before running a set with more kits.

  • Adjusted the Paragon render to include the eye novelties.

    Added a new Amano render to showcase the splat novelties in a split layout.

    I've also added the following vendors:
    US: Dangkeebs
    EU: Keygem
    GLOBAL: Keyreative

  • After discussing with the vendors, we’ve decided to run this set as a pre-order.

    I've also added a Colevrak and NordeUK kit for broader support.

    The Squid Party deskmat has been slightly adjusted so the colours of the blue gradient are on the left while the colours of the yellow gradient are on the right to match the set.

    Also updated the vendors list to include the following:
    US: Keebs For All
    CA: Ashkeebs
    UK: ProtoTypist
    CH: ZFrontier
