Hi!

I absolutely love this set. I really like setss with cool subtle natural tones and the inspiration is really good! I almost want either a full color or swapped color between mods and alphas though but either way I'll still be getting it!

Awesome looking set! Can't wait for us to be able to see the novelties!

I feel i would get both alpha colors if they're available, though i am leaning towards the green once a tad bit more, just really clean set overall!
Also can't wait for the deskmats to be done, i think they will look amazing!
Very excited for my first SA Set! Hope it comes early than 2022! HAHAHAHA

This looks good.....this cap set is looking rrreeeeeaaaaaaaaally good. Love all the renders. This whole set feels like I'm staring off at sand and rocks in a calm part of a dessert or Egypt itself. Trying to think of what is this shade of green in Egypt, but oh well. Looking forward to picking this up when the GB happens!

I really like the color choices.  Very classy. I will definitely purchase. Glad this is being done in SA.  I enjoy both profiles and have enough cherry/Gmk kits on the way.  I will order as soon as US proxy is decided.

Interesting colorway; I especially like the alt alphas.

Even though you already made some large additions, I'd like to ask: would you consider a green 40s/Ortho kit, or icon modifiers?

Hmmm if you're talking about the spacebars kit with all the different sizes, they've all been rendered as concave because I sadly do not know how to make them convex. However, it's just a render and the row indicators do show that they're MEANT to be convex! So sorry for the confusion. You're not imagining things, the image is just bad :( Sorryyy :(

It's probably too late, but a cobra head (like just the hood expanded head) would of made a pretty cool novelty... not as cool as that Anubis though.. Speaking of.. you should totally make more then one kind of Anubis design keycap.

Having taken a quick look at compatibility, the only thing I’d consider is R1 coverage in the Ortho/40s kit. As it is, coverage for boards like Preonic are limited to using the alphas kit to cover the outside modifiers.

Everything else looks good to me!

Aaaa I kept looking at the R1 and wondering why they should be there, forgot all about Preonic boards! Let me add those back in after the holidays :D

i see some discrepancies in the renders with the mod kits (or that you'd have to buy both mod kits). For the function keys it shows the F1-F4 and F9-F12 as the same as the mods with the F5-F8 being able to invert color. on the renders its the other way around. personally i like the F1-4 and F9-12 to be the alpha color and the F5-8 to be the mod color.

I would disregard the renders as being specific kits. The kits themselves have the typical F-keys colours for their corresponding alpha companions.

What a killer set, I'm picking this up for sure. I'm just not sure if I'd like the standard alpha and mod kit or the alt alpha and alt mod kit more on my green U80; I'd love to seem renders with this color.

it might look cool, at the very least a mod color entire function row would be good lookin for this set. id love to see a render with the center function cluster as alpha though if thats not too much trouble

bummer :(  I don't want to get two mod kits to make it have the more standard color layout so I spose I'm skipping on this :(

Oh wow, I just realized I misunderstood your concern and you're right, the F-keys F1-F4 and F9-F12 should be flipped in colour with F5-F8 in order to conform with the standard modifier colours.

Since the novelty enters in the 40s kit are accent color have you considered maybe having the other 1.5 and 1.75 be mod colored? For us boring people who like mod everything.

Alright, I really don't need another SA keyset, but this is beautiful. With the ortho kit separated from 40s, it has become even more attractive to me, so this is the first time I'm asking it here: Any chance for a Colevrak kit?

And to complete the ortho kit for supporting split ergo boards, please consider adding two 1.5u space keys.

For the Ortho Kit:
https://i.imgur.com/pLkgLEy.png
-I recommend including at least 1x 2u spacebar.
-R3 enter is decently popular to be worth including. If you decide to make this change, I recommend dropping the enter accent and leaving just the Esc accent
-R2 Esc is decently popular to be worth including. Not all ortho users swap Tab and Esc

If the goal is to ONLY include support for the "default" layout of Planck/Preonic, then you've achieved that as is.

For the 40's add-on kit:
https://i.imgur.com/XFLifDD.png
I'm really conflicted with this kitting decision.

For example, If I wanted to kit out a minivan, I'd have to purchase FOUR kits; base mods (for 1.75u shift, bottom row mods, and arrows) +alphas +40s (for 1.75u backspace, 1.5u enter, 1.25u tab, and would have to use 1u Super/Fn from base instead of legend accurate 1u Shift) +spacebars (for 2.25u/2u).

Is there a world where you consider running this as a full-on 40s mods kit that does not require the purchase of a base kit? Doing so would require a big change up and would require you to drop one of the color supports to make its pricing reasonable.

http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/ff85d60c119d342b63a24802d546e08a here is a mock-up of what an accent-less, single color 40's staggered mod kit could look like.
As a 40s user, I would be super into this + alphas. As it stands right now, the 4 kit ask of 40s users is a bit tough.

Thanks so much again for your advice! We already had this discussion on Discord but I felt weird leaving this hanging on the thread, so I'll post a summarised response.

Due to very low interest in the IC form, this set will have the bare minimum Plank/Preonic support for the Ortho kit, and we have decided on a 40s extension kit to follow in the footsteps of other notable SA sets. I understand that it's quite costly to always buy a base alpha/mod kit and then top up with 40s and spacebar kits, but as a customer it's what I would prefer because then I would have the flexibility to use the set for all kinds of layouts in future, without the gripe of having lots of repeated keys.

Also F13 possibility?
