Just tossing this in there that if it was the white mods (burnt orange legends) and blue accents it would be ideal imo. 🤘

Man. That Magnus cap. I've followed and dropped a lot of cap GBs lately, but I may need to actually get down on this one. Everyone needs an orange set.

All blanks in all kits are convex, right?

That's the intention but I'll have my vendor confirm with GMK.

The base kit shows the alternate white arrow keys with orange legends, but the renders show the white arrow keys with blue legends. Which is correct?

Final kits are posted! Pricing will be available next week once we receive the final quotes. Thanks everyone for your support! Let's make this happen!

Also for those who are interested in the 40s kit, we unfortunately had to cut that out but the base kit does include a 1.25u R3 which means that you can outfit a 40s board with the correct row profiles if you purchase a split spacebars kit.

Looking great! I'm definitely in.

As a favor, could a non-color blind person give me their opinion on what color board this would best fit? Thanks in advance!

I believe this set will look really good on your run of the mill colors like black/gray/white/silver boards. If you decide to get the secondary alphas, that combination should go well with any color board.

Thanks! I'm in for base and space bars, it's a great looking set.

What's the R3 1.25u Fn key for? Shouldn't that be a 1.75u Function key?

Also, might I suggest replacing the R3 #~, R4 \| ISO keys with R3 \|, R4 <>? Those make more sense for basic ISO support than incomplete ISO-UK.

The R3 1.25u Fn key allows for 40s profile support for a majority of 40%s. Unfortunately the Base kit is already set so no more changes to ISO compatibility.

No chance of making this end the 25th instead? :P

Depending on how things go, we might consider extending it a few days.   ;)

Would it be possible to have Daily Clack proxy for Australia or even have switch keys for Aus as a proxy?

Unfortunately it's a bit too late to have an Aus proxy  :(

JK! Daily Clack is on board :)

From the RAMA M60-A (HHKB) render, there's a R3 1.75u Control Key, but that's not in any of the kits?

The renders were made when that key was actually in the base kit. It was removed at a later date. I'll remove the renders to avoid confusion. Thanks for pointing that out.

Dang that’s a bummer, I would love that 1.75u R2 Ctrl for HHKB, looks like the only 2 options now are Stepped Caps and Caps

Sorry :(, it's difficult to balance what are considered duplicate keys and pricing since each set will attract a different mix of buyers. Unfortunately that key was cut.
