New stuff!Introducing the Ergo Legends kit:
IC responses for legends vs blanks was pretty close to 50/50, so I will likely be offering both.
Be sure to update your response to the IC form if you intend to go for this instead. (I believe you should be able to edit your responses, let me know if you can't)
I've also been working on tweaking legends, as I've received feedback (that I agree with) that the legends are currently too bold and the alphas seemed too large. I feel this change aids readability, and doesn't lose the aesthetic of the lowercase legends. Some kit comparisons are below:

New
Some renders with this change are in the works, and I will update this thread once those are ready. Let me know what you think in the meantime!
Please, let go of this meme of combinging ortho and 40s. If you must combine, combine ortho with ergo and put 40s with regular mods. Thanks.
I must admit I saw this complaint coming, but find it rather odd. 40s seems to share more keys with ortho than ortho does with ergo and 40s does with regular mods. Can you explain your reasoning?
The problem is that more than half of the keys in 40s are of no use to ortho users and the kit is missing thumb keys for split orthos with thumb clusters. Merging ortho with Ergo kit solves that. It also provides a great option for larger ortho boards such as boardwalk.

The other way around, many of the 1u keys are worthless to 40s users. 40s kits have much more common with regular mods than with ortho mods.
The only reason these kits ever got thrown together was due to the huge MOQ of GMK and traditionalists wanting to support numpad and ISO in base and not 40s. Outside of GMK it makes little sense to merge these kits. I'd say even within GMK it makes more sense to put 40s in base. But that's another discussion entirely and we won't know what to do with ortho.
I'm still considering this change, and have added a question in the IC form regarding this.
Very excited for this set, I especially love the gold keys and font that add a little spice to this set. Magic circle brass cap would be a life saver aswell since I missed the DSA Magical Girl's one ( Maybe you can hit up Salvun for those =] )
Lowercase legends are also a nice touch. Would be interested to see how this looks on a rose gold board.
I'd also love to get a brass cap made - will have to reach out to Salvun for sure ;)
Looks really nice on molly and the SP-111. MetallicCharles always kills it with the renders and makes me want to spend money...
I'm so excited for the SP-111! Will have to get e-white and recreate the renders :p
