Like! Feels like Triumph Adler on steroid.

I see that you're making yourself a Linjär-compatible keyset, happy to see that!

TheMastermind · « **Reply #55 on:** Wed, 20 March 2019, 07:10:41 »

For the novelties, have you considered anything with cats since I've heard you like them?

rowie · « **Reply #56 on:** Wed, 20 March 2019, 08:31:09 »

Really nice start. I like it. How about adding some yellow space bars in the mix? I am interested to see where this set will go so I’ll be watching this thread.

pixelpusher · « **Reply #57 on:** Wed, 20 March 2019, 15:23:43 »

I like the colors but I liked even's set better just b/c it didn't have so much contrast. The white seems to bright to me.

I liked that set too, but I only have one minivan and I couldn't justify paying so much for such a "small" kit.

Still think L9 for the alphas would be smoochy.

Was playing with keycaprenders.com and finally got to see what GMK Merlin looks like on a Xeno!!

Everyone please see the OP for updates.

Special thanks to oldcat and iLouis_07 of TYL for renders!

Furikurichemy · « **Reply #68 on:** Thu, 09 May 2019, 20:39:03 »

looking good! Any chance for a spcebar kit for split layouts and maybe some yellow accent bars?

Zambumon · « **Reply #69 on:** Sun, 12 May 2019, 06:36:39 »

Hey Merlin, could you add a "more" tag or hide the 0.1.0 base kit? People thought you were going to run the set with it instead of this one:

I'll hide both of them. I don't think my message about directing people to kono for the latest updates is working as well as I intended. =(. I should know this, because people don't read QMK documentation either lool.

Zambumon · « **Reply #71 on:** Sun, 12 May 2019, 13:04:05 »

If there are multiple images, I always assume that the newest one is the one on top, I didn't even realised there was a third revision!

merlin64 · « **Reply #72 on:** Fri, 17 May 2019, 10:29:00 »

jtallbean · « **Reply #73 on:** Fri, 17 May 2019, 16:51:55 »

Colors look amazing! Would it be possible to add 2.25u and 2.75u split spacebars?

Ashardalon · « **Reply #74 on:** Sat, 18 May 2019, 12:03:44 »

Simple but clean, love it. This will do well, I'm sure. Looking forward to seeing more novelties.

eskimojo · « **Reply #75 on:** Sat, 18 May 2019, 12:29:17 »

Had a quick glance over the kit in detail, and noticed the ISO support is missing a key (see below) - any chance this could be added? <3

Really looking forward to this by the way

SeamansBeard · « **Reply #80 on:** Thu, 18 July 2019, 16:57:51 »

I love these colors! Joined the IC on Kono. Would it be to much to ask to get a Norde kit? Maybe put ISO in that kit?

Also would this be possible to do this in PBT?

MxDuder · « **Reply #81 on:** Thu, 18 July 2019, 18:04:35 »

Such cool colors. Definitely interested.

thornkin · « **Reply #82 on:** Sat, 20 July 2019, 11:51:47 »

Will there be Merlin hat novelties with this? I see them in a few renders, but they don't appear on the layout diagrams on kono.

Laser ALT sporting red Sky Pandas

scoopbb · « **Reply #83 on:** Sat, 20 July 2019, 13:19:17 »

ortho kit makes no sense to me.

base kit has alt, fn, ctrl as r4 1u
also has a r2 delete

would have been nice to get r4 raise / lower, and r3 accented esc

I just looked at kono's site, and the images there show the R3 '@ key is still absent from the ISO kit. Has this omission been corrected?

Weird that we both only just noticed this on the same day but anyway, I let Merlin know of the omission earlier today - unfortunately, it's likely too late to add the missing key.

That's pretty bad, and might seriously hurt the kit's sales.

merlin64 · « **Reply #88 on:** Tue, 06 August 2019, 08:38:58 »

Sorry folks, just my luck for modeling my ISO support from Olivia. =(.

Should have modeled it after Nautilus.

I'm sorry I didn't take a close look earlier, too.

Is it entirely too late? Would it be feasible to delay not the entire GB, but just the ISO kit, so the omission might be corrected? After all, it's not like it's a custom key for which a new mold must be made.

eskimojo · « **Reply #90 on:** Tue, 06 August 2019, 09:54:08 »

Curious about the MOQ for the ISO kit too - presumably using stock colours might bring it down a bit relative to other sets? ISO kits tends to struggle in general, so I hope this one gets made.

hottrout · « **Reply #91 on:** Wed, 07 August 2019, 03:31:02 »

I am also in for this very cool coloured kit. Please fix the missing ISO keys.

Emir · « **Reply #92 on:** Wed, 07 August 2019, 05:17:43 »

How is it too late? No order has been placed? Just ask for a new quote and adjust gb pricing, close the kit from purchases until done.

merlin64 · « **Reply #93 on:** Wed, 07 August 2019, 11:17:06 »

Each time a change is made, it has a possibility to delay the GB further based on how much longer it takes. There are also associated costs with the changes on kono's end. I can see what I can do but no promises. Also ISO is part of base kit.

Ohhh, that makes a lot more sense. The kit diagram makes it seem like it's a separate kit.

Ahh, sorry - I was also confused. In that case I do agree that it complicates things. :/
