Is it me, or is regular numpad R1 1u − missing from the base kits?
Great kitting otherwise. I hope the prices end up being reasonable, it'd be cool to get these legends made in doubleshot.

biip is french, almost all his creations include FR keys, and if you look closely at the International screenshot the FR keys are here :D

Might we possibly get base color 1.5u command keys for 7u macOS users? The 1u command keycaps just seem so wrong next to 1.5u option keys; IMO they should be swapped.
Non-accent 1.5u OS/Command keys are included, they're just beside the right 1.5u Ctrl in the base kit renders.
Super interested in this set, but a little concerned/curious as to why the kitting shows only one 1u control icon in all three of the black, beige, and red rather than 2 of each like the command and alt keys.
Only one 1u Ctrl in sets has been a thing for a while. Do you know any modern, non-40% keyboards/layouts that use 2× 1u Ctrl? They're exceedingly rare. I can only think of the original Cherry G80-1800, but I wouldn't exactly call that a modern or popular layout anymore.
You can always use the wildcard >_ key as a replacement for the second 1u Ctrl if you really need it.

They are indeed, my bad for not looking to the right! Cheers.

Finally! been waiting for this set to rerelease in this profile, but would rather have the same katakana sublegends as the EC keyset.
Please consider offering an alternate alpha add on
Also new EC version of this when?
Thank you biip <3

...but would rather have the same katakana sublegends as the EC keyset. Please consider offering an alternate alpha add on.I feel the same. Even when I already like the set, I'd probably won't buy it due to the lack of sublegends.

Depending on the success of this upcoming pre-order, we're considering a run with sub legends. But that's tough to envisage because it's a cost and a MOQ.
what color is the dark base? looks like N9, little too brown for my liking, any chance to make it same as Boneyard?
L9/BV

It looks very inconsistent considering the legends and most other mods are on the upper left side. I understood the decision on MT3 profile, but here it looks a bit off.
Otherwise than that, this is a great looking set and good luck with the sell! :thumb:

biip, are these new alpha and/or mod legends proprietary, or will GMK be able to use them freely?
Can you address this please, biip? Are the new legends going to be exclusive to yourself/Novelkeys, or will other designers also be able to use them (if they ask for permission)?

From biip's Discord:
"Just announced yesterday, this set is back, this time in double-shot! Same colors as EPBT, EC & MT3 editions. All kits are pinned in the discussion and can also be found on Geekhack. Kits suggestions are welcome, we still have some time to improve things. For this project I re-created a font from scratch, although I haven't named it yet; it's not yet finalized. In any case the new legends will be available to all designers in the future!"

Nice update. I think some of the punctuation legends, specifically < > , . ' " ^, appear too small visually when compared to the other legends, even though they're the right typographic size. Consider making them slightly larger for increased legibility and a more balanced look. (The same characters are also enlarged in the standard Cherry legend set.)
Similar to how the ~ is already larger, which is not unusual.
Separately, I think the current dollar sign is too small. In most fonts it is slightly taller than the ampersand: $ &
In the end, it's a balancing act between legibility and appearance. For example, the numpad's ÷ × – = + legends are larger than its numbers. While I find the result visually appealing, others may disagree.

Legends are still subject to slight modifications. I'm currently waiting for GMK to come back to me regarding technical feasibility of those.

I despise favoritism, it's either support for all languages or none
But it's not favoritism. "Which of these two apples is your favorite, the green or the red one?" is a question of preference, while "Which of these two apples would you invest your life savings into starting a business to sell, the green or the red one?" is a question of which apple will sell. You can't dictate what everyone else wants to buy, which _is_ preference, but at an individual level that they must be allowed to have and express.
You simply can't hate it, practically. It's entirely illogical. I worry for your mental health.
Just because some languages have a higher chance of selling addon sets doesn't mean they're anyones favorite. It just means they can sell.

I'd span accents in a separate kit, especially since they are the same color across light and dark variants. There is no need to have the same keys twice if you buy both base kits.
We actually looked at this, and it did not make sense to split them out. It would end up costing more for a customer to order both base kits + accent kit, vs the accent kits being included in the base.

Since this is a very Mac-oriented set, could I request that the international kit include an R4 tilde/backtick key? It’s part of the layout of a Mac UK-ISO keyboard, and to date I usually put a random key there.

Sadly no. Tilde key doesn't require a new mold being made since it's already exist. That's why we were able to add right before the GB.
