bépo kit... but there probably won't be enough people interested  :(.

Or a fantasy of mine would be to have keycaps with Phoenician alphabet, which is sort of the oldest ancestor of our modern alphabet.

Matt the red SI key is KILLING ME.
I know we want to keep R1 exclusive but I wanted a full F row of SI keys, definitely not in red. [will still buy one, but not 12 :P]

edit: new wasd, monolegend look great
LOVE THE BLUE ARROWS WITH "V"s in lost&found <3<3<3

oh and CMYK is definitely mission critical.  :cool: [just ask hoffy] :))

If the space invader key in red is the only option I will likely end up skipping the nerdom kit or wherever that key ends up being included. It was a guaranteed buy for me (since it matches my avatar) regardless of whatever else I needed to buy with it but not in red ... it just clashes too much IMO.

Okay no CMYK, that will have to be a separate GB.
Not sure what to do about the SI key though. Wouldn't look better in Blue. Maybe just do it on the darker gray to have it different?

I joined GH too late to get in on the first round, but won't be missing the second round!

I'm a Mac guy, and to complete my keyboard, I'd like the following (probably added to the Apple kit):

Really want:

* Eject
* Help (this would be used in place of Insert key)
* Mission Control, Launchpad, caret control key - I see these were all included in last Apple Kit, can these put in the new one as well?
* F13, F14, F15
* Clear (replaces Num Lock) - see attached

Nice to get:

* Apple's icon for the Enter key (caret below a line - see attached)
* How about an Apple logo key? Maybe two, an open Apple and a closed Apple (e.g. outline and filled in - attached)
* Add Pause icon with the Play button - so, you'd have a Play/Pause button like on Mac keyboards


thanks for the feedback, the apple kit is already quite expensive as it is now, I don't know if we should add more keys

Ok, that's understandable. But, could the new Apple kit at least contain all the keys it had last time (Mission Control, Launchpad, caret control key)? If these can be included again, I'll buy this new set.

Are the full and half touch caps locks both center stemmed, or is the half touch off-center?  I can't remember if this was addressed earlier.   :-[

The kits look good to me  :thumb:


But could you please move the text enter key from the numpad to the red enter kit?

It's the only difference to the R1 numpad kit and I don't wanna buy the whole kit again for a single key...

Ok, forget the other Mac keys I asked for. But, could we just add the caret symbol Control key as in R1? I don't care which kit it is added to (Apple, Icon Mods, L&F, wherever).

I realize this kit has the star-like symbol for the Control symbol, but I'd greatly prefer the caret symbol so all the mod keys match the icons in the menu system, documentation, etc.

Any chance we could increase the number of blank 1.5x?  I’m going to need at least 6 for my Ergodox. (I’d +1 Data’s suggestion of 1.5x for PgUp, PgDn, Home and End, but since that idea’s been scrapped due to expense, blanks are needed as an alternate.)  Can we either increase the count of 1.5x in the Blank Pack or bring back the Half Ergodox Blank Pack?  I’d prefer to not have to buy 3 Blank Packs just to get 6 1.5x blanks.

My two final suggestions are:

  • Round off nerdom to 12 keys [drop one of those VG keys]

        and

  • Colored 1.75 enter for jd40. :)

It looks great though! Just not digging really any of the vg keys. [other than SI]

JD40 enter is actually 1.75. But I'm with you. I'd really like a red 1.75 enter key for my JD40 build too. I'd also really like a colored 1x ctrl and alt added to the RGB modifiers set too! This is the size chart I'm using as my reference.

Edit: enter is actually 1.75, not 1.25

Sorry, agree with who, and what would you say isn't as cool?
I really enjoy the new WASD, Enter, Nerdom, and OS Kits.
The new lost and found I'll be buying just for those blue arrows too.

Just a preference, minor little things like a key here and there, color changes. Still in for 2 though :D

I think you could do it with just the pro mods (depending on your layout). Not positive though. I have some extra caps from the first round though, and will probably get more in the second round, so I can try and help you out if you're missing a few keys. ;D
