There are two school: Old windows & Windows 8. Why don't we go to both? :rolleyes:

Please do add 1x units Windows 8 and menu key. Fn key would be nice to have also.

This set is already pricey.  I have this sinking feeling that if the cost for this set goes up the closer it will get to failing.

Don't worry.

If need to balance cost, I don't really think the enter keys are needed. Especially not the ISO one.

Can we discuss the legend as well? I personally think text + symbol mods look better, something like a shift key with the arrow and the word "shift".
I like the text mods better too, hope the rest think like me :D

Really... I think a lot of this isn't needed. Most sets will already have many of the keys. We really only need the fulltouch caps lock, 1.25 mods, spacebar 6.25 for all sets. On black 1.5 mods is nice since they are considerable more rare. I think 1 units Windows, menu and Fn are nice to haves. I think only ANSI enter might be useful, but then it should have a 1.5 |\ key for those that want to replace ISO enter from 8000 series.

^ I agree. What is the point of having alt and altgr at the same time?

I agree too, why ISO enter and not ansi. Either both or neither, plus there are arguably more ISO cherry boards to harvest..

We also need the big right shift (2.75?) for sets that came with the little shorty shift on the right (1800)

My initial interest is fading because of too many keys I don't need making the set too expensive.

As usual problem that different people want/need different keys and sets snowball with price skyrocketing.
Maybe the best way to do this adapters is more like how EK sell GMK keys, in pairs?
Maybe have a 2x style full touch caps locks like "Caps Lock' and lock icon example
ANSI enter and 1.5 \| pair
shift set, text and without text
1.25 ctrl pair, 1.25 alt pair, 1.25 Windows/menu set
1.5 ctrl and alt pairs, 1u Windows/menu set

If there is iso enter two 1U blanks would be nice to be able to convert Ansi to iso. Otherwise I think a minimal set is better than not reaching moq

GMK sets require patience above all else, the pay off is worth it :)
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.
