I don't know if there is still time for this, but can we get ESC key(s) size of a Capslock (1.75u)? This is a terminal set after all and It's quite common that people using vim/emacs map their capslock to ESC. I've been doing it for last couple years and especially on 65% keyboard. The only other 1.75u keys are 'control' from mods and 'kill' and 'mount' from novelties. I'll take the set anyway, just having nice green 1.75u ESC would be better.

Re: [IC] KAM_Superuser | 19/09 - Huge kitting update!
« Reply #352 on: Mon, 04 January 2021, 09:28:24 »
This set is very nice! If I may provide a suggestion and it's not too late to make changes, I would very much like to see a 1.75u escape keycap to put instead of the capslock. This is considering you already have provided keycaps for vim-like hjkl controls, so being able to have a matching cap for an escape remap would be absolutely amazing!


While I do not use the caps lock key - instead, I use the control key - I do not see people who need it very happy to have it replaced by an ESC cap; that is, the first time I heard should replace the caps lock.


I wouldn't want to get rid of the caps lock keycap from the set, I just wanted to see the addition of a similar 1.75u escape. From what I've see , remapping the caps lock key to escape seems like a fairly common practice for users of a unix-based OS. For myself, I find capslock hardly ever used.


By fairly common, you mean 1 in how many? If my own anecdotal experience of some years at GH and 7k post is worth something, you are the first to mention it.

That depends on demographic of people you talk to. In dev community, pretty much everyone who uses vim/emacs extensively has remapped Capslock to ESC. You just can't use vim and default ESC without causing strain over the time ;D It's just way too far away.

But as I see that this has already been suggested in October (sorry, only now I went through most of the thread), I have very small hopes that this would include green 1.75 ESC. Control it is then.

Agree, it's hard for non-vim users to imagine the amount of Esc usage, I wouldn't hesitate to say it's common at least within the specific demographic

And TYPE YOUR CAPS HOLDING DOWN SHIFT LIKE A MAN!

I've worked together with RAMA, sending in my KAM samples to help them create the very first KAM profile RAMA cap! This new profile will be available to other designers wanting to work with RAMA in KAM going forward too.

The superuser RAMA cap will be matched to 7545 C (mods grey) and will have glow in the dark green enamel infill!

Oooooh very pretty ! Looks like it'll be my first RAMA cap :) just in case, I'm dropping this here : https://thok.click/product/kam-80s-afterdark/ thought that could also work very well with Superuser with a different color :)

I had the same idea. I linked that in the Superuser discord before I knew we were getting an artisan for this set as well. I'm getting both and will probably stick the 80's on the insert key for the GMMK Pro board I have coming.

From what I've been told, no, we will be going ahead as planned unless it's announced otherwise :) It could also be beneficial in that by the time production rolls around for superuser, Keyreative will be using their brand new dye-sub machinery and avoid any of the problems they've been having in the past.

How long does it take a GB's set to be manufactured? I have read about a year, but not sure if it was just a rummor.

It is currently around that time yeah. Keyreative have some new machinery that they're currently setting up and introducing double shot KAT to try and split the production queues so hopefully things will improve going forward, but they have some catching up to do at the moment.

No these are PBT keys. The matte is achieved by the surface texture - which itself is determined by the mold surface. PBT is hard and dry to the touch.

I'm guessing / hoping that it is the same matte finish used for KAT.  As much as I like the glossy KAM finish when it supports the design (e.g. KAM Little Pilot), imho matte is far more appropriate for this design.  Looks great, feels great, can't wait.

It is the same as matte KAT and superuser will be matte :) Take a look at the samples photos on the front page if you want to see the actual keycaps.

I registered here to declare my intention to buy this set after discovering it via Keycaplendar :)

Such a great set - now I'm trying to find similarly coloured components for a specific build - looking forward to the board announcement!

Will the NovelKeys edition come with keycaps or just the board?

thinking it will be similar to the currently running Awaken GB, but i'm curious as well.

My worry is that it will come with standard set kits instead of a configuration. :/
I guess I can always just get a NK65 EE in Smoke Black if that will be the case.

Smoke black didn't restock with the last drop though. And I'm not worried. Sneakers drop has readied me for this day. If you can't checkout under 1min, you already lost.

The NK65 superuser edition will be barebones, so it won't come with caps or switches. This means you'll be able to choose your preferred mods option rather than having it chosen for you bundled with the board :)

That's both awesome to hear, and slightly disappointing we won't get any 353C-looking NK Silks. So excited for this set; thanks for making the ortho kit so amazing!
