[IC] GMK ADA revamp | NEW NOVELTIES
mr_foggy:
in the current market the current kitting might end up being very, very expensive.
windowed caps, extended numpad compat, true hhkb, 40s, 3Us and novelties could very well be separated into an extension kit.

Tariffs and weak dollar, this is 160-165$?
Extension kits aren’t exactly selling well either. There’s no great answer here.

which is getting beyond reasonable for a basekit imo

exactly why I always suggest making one. it's a way to remove non vital stuff from the basekit and slightly increase the chances for it to actually exist by asking a slightly lower price for it.
MOQ for extension kits is 100, safe to say those keys can be sacrificed if not even 100 people in the world are interested in buying them. there's 15 to 20 keys in there that can be removed without losing anything in physical coverage

Splitting the base kit would indeed bring the price down a little, but after talking with my main vendor, which will most likely be NovelKeys (not official yet) they mentioned that child kit sales have been pretty bad in recent runs. They actually recommended going with a bigger base kit.
If I were to split the set into a base kit and a child kit, the child kit would probably end up costing more than just including those keys in the base kit, because of the lower MOQ. We’ll see how the pricing turns out, and if needed, we might trim it down, but making a child kit probably won’t happen.

Is there a reason why the R4 modifiers aren’t icons? The alternate R3 Control is an icon, but the regular Control is text. Rather all icons or all text / icons personally.
