It failed already as dcs, you put up a poll, and only 15% voted for dcs - what have you changed so dramatically that will make it not fail this time? O.o
It did not fail, it was canceled, bad timing for the first time. Also he wanted to make the set more versatile  :thumb:

Hi everyone! Just checking in for an update. GreenTea R2 will launch after the Nuclear set GB runs. (Hopefully in about a month.)
Still finalizing the files, I want to make sure everything's perfect. I added a 7x spacebar to the 60% kit to support the GH60/Duck Viper/KMAC Happy HHKB layout. I also added a row-1 delete key to the SmallFry kit for the 'alternate 'layout. I'm working on an ISO kit also and still trying to decide whether to make a new kit for ISO or add it to Tsangan.

Thank you, Numiru! Excited for this set. It's gonna be good!

@numiru: maybe it would be a good idea to ask SP for an estimate on the prices for each kit. This way people can prepare in time and have some money reserved for this GB. I think it would increase the chances for success ;)
I love how this set evolved and it will be a cool one :D

IC has been submitted to PMK's new interest check feature. The interest check will be up soon and it will go on until the group buy runs (after Nuclear finishes). Anyone have an idea of when Nuclear is supposed to go up?

I agree with this. Keep it in the mods kits.

I like how you've designed the kits, although you may get more sales combining the 60% and TKL kits. More numbers on a single larger kit often equals lower price due to hitting a higher tier, instead of dividing the numbers between smaller kits that share a number of keycaps. It'll also make the kit more universal. I'm in for a base and 60% :)

+1 I think that one kit for 60% and TKL would increase the chances of hitting the MOQ, even if I am a 60% user I don't mind buying some extra keys ;)

This is something I would love to happen, I really don't want to have to buy two separate kits for the 60 and tkl. If they were combined I'm 99.9999% in.

I want to support HHKB layout though, and I'm worried that if I include HHKB keys in the TKL kit, the price will go up too much :(

Include the HHKB in the tsangan kit, I guess would balance the prices. I'm afraid that orders will split between the 2 kits and not hit MOQ.

Countdown to the launch of the set

I've noticed a lot of new users making their own keycap designs recently on PMK... I'm hoping nothing will launch during GreenTea and cannibalize the set. I understand matt3o's situation during Midnight more now.

Hope the same, in the same interval Pulse GB I think will be running, but that one is in SA so it should be OK.
For the lenght of the GB make sure you get the maximum of days, I think is ~30
This is one set I must have :)

Going to try to get this as well.  One thing I am looking at though is we don't have a 1.25 ~` key and 1U control key on this.  for those of us with ergodox's if we wanted to place it on there those would be the only things missing.  candidly though I don't think the color sequence will go well with the massdrop colors (mostly buying for the RS II if/when we get the gb for it, but more options the better)

With anyone with that idea as well:
1.25 shift from ISO, 1u alt/win & 1.25 caps from tsangan/HHKB, and the rest is more or less already there.  keep in mind that no button will match for space in that regard and the numberpad enter fits just right for the larger keys, as does backspace.

I added that extra key to the SmallFry layout because there aren't that many keys in it, and that way more people with the desire to have different layouts on that board will be able to. Unfortunately, adding some extra keys isn't something I can do to support EVERY keyboard that exists. I'm gonna have to go with a no on this one. Sorry!


Also, do you guys/gals think I should make the MOQ 25 or 50?

This set looks awesome. I hate the fact that I won't be able to use it on my Pure Pro, so I'll have to buy the set AND a new keyboard  ;D

I would have loved a 2u shift, but I don't think there would be enough interest for it to be added to a modifier set.

Why would you do this to me SlotH42? I thought we were bros?  ;)

I'm just kidding, I'm probably buying this set regardless, but a GH key makes it mandatory that I buy one.
