Would love to see all-cyrillic modifiers (like in new SA Yuri) and F-keys (Ф1-Ф12).

This is a real funny idea and the renders are second to none.

That's really not feasible. New GMK legend molds are around €150 each, and there are 34 different text molds in this set. That's around €5000 in legend mold costs alone. GMK might offer to cover half of that, but it's still a lot of money.

Dig the color!  Any plan to accent it?  I know it already looks good as it is. 

In for base.

Yeah, I think this set calls for icon mods and nav cluster.
Having the english PGUP/PGDN looks a bit odd considering the legends.

I almost always abstain from mod design preferences. Really like what was done with 9009 recently in terms of changes but those vs text don't really matter that much to me like they do for others. That said, agree with MajorKoos here.

Kits updated!

I learned from the Interest form that not many people were a fan of the Mono tab in the base and unusual kit. Therefore I decided to move the Mono tab to the Modern kit and put a normal tab in the base and unusual kit.
Other than that I got a lot of positive feedback about the kits as they are, so no other changes (for now) :-)

I'd like to echo some of the other comments, seems like an odd choice to have full Cyrillic alphas with english mods on the bottom row. I understand that this could be avoided by purchasing the modern kit as well. However, it would be nice to just need the base kit and save some cost.

Well, some mods will have to stay in english no matter what (like PrtScr, Home etc), so there is no getting around mixing the languages.

I had suggested icons there too for the modern kit. It's not a dealbreaker for me or anything.

Okay, I can't take it anymore. Let me ask:

Shouldn't that R3 Ë key right by the vertical ("ISO") Enter be a /\ key instead, as the corresponding ones in R2 (1.5U) and R1 are?

If not, why not? (everything I've seen so far about the Russian national layout points to the movable key always having / and \ , while Ë, whenever present, is always in the top-left corner key)

With 3 more 2u R4C keys and 2 1.5u R1 keys, this could work on the red annodized RGBKB Sol 2.

You're absolutely right! Thank you, this is why ICs are so valuable.
Currently working on a few more kit changes and I hope to finalise them soon.

I'm contradicting my earlier comment and the concept a little, but I'm currently working on the 'Usual Kit' which will contain Latin alphas.
After seeing Yugo struggle and Sparta being cancelled I feel like I can't ignore the requests for Latin alphas any longer.

Also happy to announce the GB will start the 1st of February 2020 and will run until the end of that month.

More updates soon!

Is there a set of icons that work for the print scroll pause, insert home page up, delete end page down keys? Would be cool to only see Cyrillic. I don’t think the micons kits used them, though, and new molds really runs the price up...

Good to hear about the usual latin set  ;D

Are you planning on adding any accents or novelty sets? Would give some nice options to spice it up a bit in terms of colors.
The yellow color from my attachments (ussr flag included) could work very well with the Perestroika theme and could give the set a nice touch.
If you ask me, it would work well as color for the legends, but that's another topic.

Just giving my 2 cents / 2 kopeyki ;)

I think those icons are looking really weird, so I'm not keen on having them in my set. Having said that, I'll do some research what molds are available.

This is a really good red color. Wonder how it would be on U80a port....

Any of my 40's/ortho friends who dont use 2.25 2.75u split bars and want the rest of the extension kit, I'm up for splitting again.

I am also imagining it on my u80a port.  I would probably go for this set, instead of the GMK burgundy

I've played around with offering a full alpha kit in order to get compatibility for two boards, but because I don't have accent keys it would mean I'd had to duplicate too many keys resulting in the kit becoming way too big.

I'm glad that you have learned from Yugo that capitalism is never to be ignored! A Rama or Salvan artisan would be great to include, especially since there are no novelties.
