[IC] KKB Dolch Neo

It's Dolch baby!

DISCORD IC FORM


This is a retro-inspired modern refresh of the classic dolch colorway, but not modern dolch.
I am hoping to make this with KKB, as I am a big fan of their keycaps, and imo they need a dolch set.

But a cool one, so this has R0 & R5 baked in, and the translucent keys as part of the "neo" line.

Kitting will be simple - base for everything 90% of the people will need, and an extension kit for the rest. Additional offerings include R0 kits for WOB and Beige(L9/U9), as well as UK and Norde kits.

Aiming for
- $90 for Base kit
- $20 for Extension kit
- $20 for Nordeuk kit
- $20 for R0 kits

New molds will be made for the R0 kit, hence the price increase as compared to Skidata neo.

Wow this great, dolch very nice choice, alongside those translucent accents, r0 is a great addition and love how extensive the kits/kitting is (even if 1.5u supers aren't in base kit but like I talk about that way too much lol)

Needs anime girl deskmat other wise it's not a truly based project though... GLWIC

I like this ''neo'' series that you are doing, masje.

Some suggestions I have, looking at the kitting:
- I would change Print to PrtSc and 1.50U <-Back to Backspace.
- Consider adding R5 1U Ctrl.
- Add two R5 1U Alt somewhere for true HHKB compatibility.
- Windowed keys and stepped 1.75U Control would be nice.
- I don't know how I feel about the forced translucent accents, but maybe it's the right move. I would add an accented R1 Esc as well.
- Numpad Enter is text only, maybe change it to Icon+Text.

It's cool that now KKB is doing R0 molds. GLWIC

Looks great, good work. One suggestion, 3/4 key 40s is great when it's included in base but when it's a separate kit it would be nice to get a little more 40s support. 1.75u R3 Enter for any 11/12/13u boards would be amazing.

Since I only joined the hobby in 2021 and had no idea what "GMK" even meant, I've missed out on previous runs of Dolch in any variant. I know Drop has a DCX Dolch keycap set, and I know the aftermarket is always a thing, but I've been waiting until the perfect moment to finally get a Dolch set.

GLWIC, and I'm for sure going to join the GB when/if it happens!
