Perfect.  I still think this set with black text would look amazing but obviously very hard to do.

"Are these caps made of polycarbonate?
Yes."

I'll be pleasantly surprised if these are made without significant warping issues if the polycarb cases I've owned are anything to go by.

All of the 9u spacebar protos were perfectly flat. I don't think this is something you should be concerned about.

polycarb cases warp during the milling process, all plastic warps a bit during the injection molding process, but SA is pretty sturdy even when done in ABS

no guarantees of course

All of my samples came out great, and I know a lot people have received some PC caps in their SP Grab Bags. Someone commented recently on one of my reddit posts about how they are clear and unscratched, would appreciate anyone else who's received some to post some pictures.

these are polycarbonate, so im worried that they will darken/yellow, get a frosted look after a short time of use. what are your thoughts on that?

I really want this!

Please, include a couple more 1.5u bars. I am trying to cover an ErgoDox.
I like to make, break & modify stuff via a soldering iron, code or both.

Really cool, excited to mix and match these!

In case it's useful to someone else, here's a little kit calculator to quickly go through different kitting options -- after specifying how many of each kit, it shows what keys you get at what cost. I think you'd have to clone the sheet to edit it.

Thanks, looking forward to the sale!

I was thinking of getting the numpad kit, but then I saw it only has five rows and all my standalone numpads have six rows.  Donutcat pointed this out earlier, but I don't think I ever saw a reply to that question.  Is there any chance of adding another row of R1 keys to the numpad kit, or is it just too late?

Ergo kits usually are failing for most GBs, for this first GB I decided against including the kit because I wasn't sure how much appetite there was going to be for it. It's something I will consider for any future projects for sure if this overall proves to be popular.

I was thinking of getting the numpad kit, but then I saw it only has five rows and all my standalone numpads have six rows.  Donutcat pointed this out earlier, but I don't think I ever saw a reply to that question.  Is there any chance of adding another row of R1 keys to the numpad kit, or is it just too late?

It's too late for me to make any additional kitting changes, you can buy the FROW and Numpad to fit it out but that's not ideal solution. I decided against adding the extra row as it increased cost for most use cases, similar to the above answer if this proves to be popular I can consider making the more additions.

Thanks for the kitting guide I hope this is helpful to anyone else will add it to the main post.

these are polycarbonate, so im worried that they will darken/yellow, get a frosted look after a short time of use. what are your thoughts on that?

Polycarbonate yellowing happens over a very long period of time in direct UV light for a full yellowing you're looking at often 5+ years of direct sunlight. If you're indoors this will not be a problem as UV exposure will be minimal.

This + Dracula modifiers work well with radiant acrylic Mysterium that I am wrapping up right now. After the two years I have waited for Dracula the three months on this is a welcome change of pace.
