I like it, but at the same time I dont think the yellow and orange fit. Will be difficult to find a keyboard to match the keyset imo
Also, what about making the dark kits inverted? Yellow mods and black accents? Something like Serika but with the dark alphas will be cool
And about the mod kits, why there is an extra accent 7u spacebar but not an extra accent 6.25u? It would be cool if you can add it
On the mod kits I miss a Fn/Menu 1u R1 key, something like the Menu 1.25u key and maybe more options for the column keys for 65% and 75% keyboards

Thanks for the feedback, as for the set not fitting, I'd say that it'd look good on a variety of boards! I'll work on getting more renders of the set on more boards as this IC progresses.
Inverting the dark kits would be interesting but wouldn't fit the theme that I was going for, I might explore those colors on some personal renders, if it does look good I might look into adding those to the set, although there are already a lot of kits, KAT sets usually have around 20~ kits.
As for the extra accent spacebar for the 6.25u in the mods kit not being there, it is, the accent color for the base mods would be white, the mods kit has a 6.25u and a 7u white spacebar.
The FN/Menu key in the mod kits it's included already, the modifier kits are all Icon Mods only. I've thought making Text Mod kits, it's definitely an open option for the set, but right now, day 1 for the set I only have Icon Mod kits.

I was looking to get the set for the yellow HMKB but idk if it will match right or not. The orange wont much i think and I have doubts about the yellow legends. If you could make a render for that with both main and dark kits will be amazing
Could you mark me what is the Fn key on the mod kits? I cant see it. Maybe its the arrow pointing up with the line on the middle?
What I mean about the spacebars is if you look this photo, there isnt a black 6,25 spacebar in any of the mod kits, but there is the equivalent for the 7u. So maybe adding it to it will be cool. Talking about this kit. Im missing a black 6.25u spacebar tooShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/RfEq0gN.png)

IIRC the 1u key with the arrow with the line in the middle of it is considered the fn/menu key, I could be wrong, but I believe that is what people use for fn/menu on a 65%. It's the second key to the left of the arrow keys. As for the 6.25u black spacebar, that's included in the alphas kits, both alpha kits have it.
White alphasno
Thank you everyone for the feedback! We've already gotten 110+ responses on the google form!Nice will look forward to that
Changes to come:
- removal of mod colored alpha numbers in US + UK ISO kit
- Different Deskmat design
Looking into:
- Light Alphas (White Alphas) with Dark Accent color
Adding:
- Images of each color, seems like some people are getting confused with the Orange and yellow in the set, The mod color is Orange, the Alpha Legend color is Yellow. The Dark Mods are just the alpha colors , making the set a monochrome set.
Since this is a KAT IC, can you separate the 40s & ortho kits?

Seconded on this.
I agree w/ you [mention]Tyson [/mention] I love this set & as a 40% to 50% user, I'll be in for both alphas & 40s kits! Great job sir. As a staggered 40 user, I'll glad to see kits that account for staggered 40 users b/c most 40s kits are only ortho specific. Again, thanks for doing your homework & providing great kits!Since this is a KAT IC, can you separate the 40s & ortho kits?
Seconded on this.
There's no reason to seperate it, if you buy 1 alpha kit and 1 40s/ortho kit you're looking at spending $80 at max. I was able to get the base alphas and 40s/ortho kit for KAT Lich and only spent $69. I will not be separating them, sorry. Plus by separating the kits, that makes the amount of kits go up, I understand you can have a lot of kits for KAT sets, but with the amount that I already have I only plan on adding maybe one or two more kits, wasting it on individual 40s and ortho kits is a no go.

Hey, I’m not challenging you and I respect your decision. I am excited to see ortho/40s support. Hopefully I didn’t ruffle any feathers. :( I like the work you’ve done here and definitely want to pick up a set.

No feathers ruffled lol, just wanted to explain my decision behind the 40s/ortho kit.
I really dig the colors, but I have to ask: are those flying turnips?
Any chance to make the cabbage key green? :eyes:I really dig the colors, but I have to ask: are those flying turnips?
Flying Cabbages, they are enemies that are in the anime, Darkness has a liking for them for some strange reason ;)
Whoa, I just found out about this and got real hyped when I read the title... thought this was going to be a "Reinhardt" (Overwatch character) themed set :D
But regardless, this looks still very good, as pretty much always when mister Tyson makes a new set, great job :thumb:

Really like the color scheme. Of all the warm/acidic colors, orange never gets enough love.
I would like text-only mods if possible.
Surely because it's healthy and delicious!I really dig the colors, but I have to ask: are those flying turnips?

I think you and two other people have asked for Text Mods, it was a consciousness decision of mine to IC the set with no Text Mod kits, a lot of KAT sets have both Text and Icon Mod kits and from talking with Rensuya, Icon kits usually sell more, I need to create a new poll seeing if people would like both normal and dark versions of Text Mods or if I should only go with one of them, I don't think the kits will be that popular but that doesn't matter at all since kits don't have MOQ requirements!

I too thought Icon Mods were preferred over Text Mods in recent KAT GBs, but they're neck-and-neck in the currently-running KAT Arctic GB. Interestingly, Text Mods are preferred for the Arctic Numpad.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/uyCN7Yz.png)
Whereas Text Mod orders were less than half of Icon Mod orders in KAT Atlantic.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/GKhgjHX.png)
Perhaps it depends on the theme? I hope your poll is helpful.
Edit: added Atlantis bar graph.

Love the colours and I've been looking out for a KAT profile kit that supports JIS layout :-D
This kit comes very close to having everything required for proper JIS layout support; it is only missing one key. That is the ー key, used to extend syllables as in the word "keyboard", 「キーボード」. With the addition of this key it is possible to type Japanese using kana input. It belongs to the right of the number row, next to the backspace.
JIS users also need a 1U backspace key in order to make space for it, but I see you already have that in your 40s/Ortho set. You also have correctly-positioned む and ろ keys available, which is great to see!
Overall, great work on the relatively comprehensive JIS layout support! Please consider the inclusion of this one additional key in order to take it over the finishing line. See Masterpiece (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=106068.0;topicseen) and Sumi (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104469.0;topicseen) for examples of this key in use (albeit in GMK sets), and its correct positioning. Thanks!
Hey everyone, thank you for the amazing feedback on this set! Right now I am working on trying to get an update out, but for now I'm a little concerned that not everyone is on the same page about the colors of the set, I've received an alarming number of comments on the google form from people thinking that the main modifier color is yellow, this is not correct. Just to be clear, the base mod color is Orange, where as the alpha legend color and dark kits legend color is yellow. It seems like just from looking at the renders it's hard to tell that they are different colors, I want to make sure that everyone knows the correct colors and isn't under the impression that the colors are different.
I thought the Japanese legends were just for aesthetics. Do people actually use them for JIS layouts? I see the argument for compatibility coming up recently, but I'm wondering how many people need that compatibility.
By comparison, supporting JIS alpha layouts fully on a monolegend set like this one is quite easy: all that is required is one extra key. From the people I’ve spoken to so far, this does not add much if anything to the overall cost of the set, and it opens it up to a whole class of users who might not otherwise have considered it.

That makes a lot of sense, as a niche user, I fully understand that. And how frustrating it is to just be one or two keys away from having compatibility.
Personally I gravitate towards non-Latin alpha kits, because of two reasons: Colemak DHm is often not supported (different story with KAT fortunately) and I like the novelty kits. Hiragana is overdone by now imo, but I've yet to see my first Katakana kit. I am not a big fan of text mods, unless they're novelty mods, like Godspeed kits. Then I will pick Latin+Colevrak.
As for this kit, I don't know the anime character, but it reminds me of the modern Deus Ex games. Having Katakana + mods could make for a good look approaching that aesthetic.

Is this set still alive?
Have you considered using the updated icon mods seen in Hyperfuse, Iron and Monochrome?
Just wanted to do a quick update for you guys and let you know that we have secured a NA vendor for this set! :D I am currently working on getting vendors for other regions and will update you as soon as proxy's are secured.
NA Vendor: CannonKeys
Date of GB: Q1 2021
Super interested! If you end up doing the rest of the squad after this one my bank account is gonna be non-existent
Will this be PBT? And would you consider running custom Rocket Cables for this GB as well?

Yes! Every KAT set is PBT! And as for Cable vendor, I am good friends with Space Cables so cables will be ran through him! :)

Damn I was really hoping this would be Stardust Crusaders (as in part 3 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, my favorite manga) themed hahah, damn it. even with the newest anime adaptation, why can't my favorite series be more popular hahah
despite that-- and not knowing the source material Konosuba-- I think this set is objectively visually appealing and well executed, though! GLWGB~ :>
