I love this set and looking forward to getting it. My only key comment would be, would you consider offering the Alt Gr in the ISO base set? Some sets do and others don't.

Well, the International and UK kits doesn't include the Alt Gr legends, so it wouldn't make much sense to include one.

That was my point. It's not included anywhere so would it be possible to include it.

Each time I see these renders makes me want to dive into a warm chocolate bath.

Hope this gets made soon because us lot here on GH, are confirmed sugar addicts

I wanted to include real Golden Tickets or something similar with the sets but I didn't thought about having a lucky winner that could visit the SP factory!

They did for granite

MOZ · « **Reply #61 on:** Sat, 20 February 2016, 13:50:56 »

Granite was dyesub, which doesn't require any legend molds. This is double shot, so legend molds are required.

Or are we still talking about keycaps?

MOZ · « **Reply #68 on:** Thu, 25 February 2016, 02:01:38 »

Have you considered DSA, I know it gets bashed a lot, but image an ortholinear with DSA chocolate caps, that's pretty much a chocolate bar.

Yes! YCC is the right color for a White Chocolate alphas.

Yes I have, but I'd rather prefer SA since the whole keycap is soft/polished and DSA has a grainy top.

By the way, I will probably post a poll in a couple of days asking some questions about the set.

The set will have to wait for a while due to the long production queue of multiple SA sets such as: Round 6 Phase 1 (March 31st), Nantucket Selectric (April 29th), PulSE Round 2 (May 31st), Round 6 Phase 2 (June 30th) 1976 Round 2 (July 28th), and Electric SA (August 31st). + Jukebox Round 2, Carbon Round 2, Godspeed, and Penumbra Round 2…

God damn! So many SA sets!

romevi · « **Reply #76 on:** Thu, 25 February 2016, 18:22:16 »

The only reasons I'd consider DSA are:
- PBT, so custom legends available.
- no significant line compared to SA
- the 1u caps look just like little chocolate squares. Like you can break them off and eat them. nom nom

If you go the DSA route, you even can have renders of the caps inside a Wonka wrapper, like a chocolate bar coming out of the wrapper except they're the brown caps. One even can have a golden ticket.

By the way, the main reason I was asking about 1-1-2-3-4-3 instead of 1-1-2-3-4-4 is ergonomics. I'd like TAC to be as comfortable for typing as possible.

It will take a while :/

I've been thinking about offering a 60% kit as a base kit instead of the TKL. So, I'll keep an eye on the 1976 GB and how well the base kit sells (it just covers a 60%) and if people are confused about what child deals they need to buy.

Hopefully your nonstandard kit isn't as expensive. If I were to get the 1976 set, it'd cost me 40 usd just for the 1.75 right shift ;(

I've found that as much as I like DSA because of it's uniformity, SA R3 retains the uniformity and feels superior to me. If everything I owned wasn't non-standard in some way, I would be all in for a sculpted SA set, but because of the custom nature of my crap, I do have a strong prejudice towards uniform R3 SA & DSA. The other thing with SA R3 is you can reduce the number of child deals/layouts/kits since you can just move the keys around wherever. Sculpted SA sets are beautiful though, I own some but find that I don't really use them, or have lots of blank keys to make up the difference.

Very insightful. I have a 60% standard layout just so that I can have one Sculpted SA set. But I might be with you on having that uniformity across the non-standard layouts.
