I wasn't on geekhack during April fool's but damn this actually looks really good. This might be my favorite keyset of this year actually.

The iso enter shouldn't just have a dot onto it but rather a line (like the 2u numpad keys)  ;)

April Fools Day joke, meme set, call it whatever but I really like it! If this becomes reality I'm so down for a set! The only question I got is, isn't this set gonna require pretty much all custom molds for the legends or does GMK actually have molds with dots & oblongs already?

That ISO Enter key needs to be adjusted. All other >1U keys have a bar, and both numpad+ and numpad Enter have a vertical one. Why does the ISO Enter have a simple dot?

Joining the prestigious ranks for April Fools sets that were actually made :P

On a more serious note though, I’m super excited and definitely in. Love that you’re also offering the Nomad kit, and it’s great to see that Daily Clack will be a proxy!

11 new molds are required.

I'll mockup that, that's a good point :thumb:

Also, the set is missing an (accent) R1 red dot key.


There, I've said it.

Look at the Insert keycap :rolleyes:

At 40%, you will stop dots -- until then, you will throw more dots

Throw more dots, more dots, more dots

Come on, more dots

I'm a fan. If I could have one request it would be for an all gray modifiers kit, or at least the bottom row keys (like Penumbra), but I totally get that's not something most people would want. Might be in regardless if I have the cash at the right time.

Was about to say the same: an optional dark gray dot mod kit for those of us that like muted colourways (with a few selected dark red dot keys for the accents).

The iso enter could have a blob with a corner, roughly following the outline of the keycap (sort of an L-shape but rotated). Not an iso user but that could look cool!

It will require an additional 150MOQ kit.
Same for Ergo/Assembly kit.

I'm not sure there will be enough interest for that :(

Another serious, if possibly unfeasible, idea:

Could there be optional six seven "color" kits with, say, 12 keys (4 R1, 2 R2, 2 R3, 4 R4) of the same color be made available, so anyone that might be unsatisfied with the base kit's offering could complete whatever he or she had in his or her mind regarding a particular keyboard layout?

That's a bummer. Keep it in mind if this blows up though, maybe.

Based on the base set, shouldn't there be a R1 1u yellow (Del), R2 1u purple (PgUp) and R3 1u orange(PgDn)?  ;D

If it were for me, I'd code Backspace and Del as red dots... which means we're also going to need a 2U red dot key.  :eek:
