Not super relevant, but I have a Help key that I use to switch layers. I just think it's awesome and had to use it. :)

I'd love to have more grey on the F row like the original :) And because this'll be done my Maxkey, you gotta got an eye on the quality control so they don't mess it up.
daaawooo:

EDIT: Should I get new molds made for shift, backspace, and alt? Those would add 10 dollars to the set. It wouldn't be as cheap as other maxkey sets, but it would lack their imperfections. Vote here: http://www.strawpoll.me/13351678.
EDIT2: The clover has been cancelled! Only text novelties will be done. Either the HELP, or EXECUTE. Perhaps both, probably both.
EDIT3: There will be 3 R3 1u blanks or flowers/cherries added. Should I add blanks or flowers?

colors are great, I think this becomes my forth maxkey SA set.
I prefer blanks over flowers (have already a lot of them).
Strange still reading about kerning issue - still not fixed for all ?
In several threads it was stated another GB-site is on top of that with maxkey, but it looks like their did not ?
or maxkey putting a premium an that, if we wanna use the new molds and not the old ones.
I have no problem with the kerning issue, it's a cool quirk.

I like the alternate colors in the F-blocks, keep it ! But more grey would be cool.
Quality of my three maxkey SA sets are the same or better than R5 or R6.

If this is supposed to be a tribute set, then I would stick as close to the look of the original Fortune as possible. It didn't have alternate F-row blocks, so neither should this set. It had a teal RETURN key, and so too should this set. Also, it may just be poor white balance calibration, but the alphas in the photo have a more reddish hue to them than the set renders which look more yellow; if possible I would pick a color for the alphas that more closely matches the original keyboard (maybe they do, and it's just the photo that is off).
I say all this only because I am a big fan of tribute concepts like this and hate seeing such sets compromised by the introduction of (design) choices that bear no relation to the keyboards that the sets are in tribute to.

This isn't a tribute set, it was merely inspired by the keyboard.

I'm putting the help key where the esc should be, but it'll be R1, so anywhere on the first 2 rows.
