Loving it!
Would love to see full board coverage, numpad needs love too.  :p
And some of us do actually have close to full size boards (melody96 here).
I suggested it in the form anyway.
Looking forward to more pics and progress.  :thumb:

I'm looking to build a 40%.  So far your 40% set seems to be the only one which has all the key sizes I need (with the right printing/function).  The problem is that the rows may not match up to what I intended.  So I'm curious what the profile on the caps are, if I were to essentially 'mix and match rows'. 

Thanks

(Prior to this, my only option was to splurge on multiple sets or go the cheap option of a blank DSA set.)

It will. I'm terribly sorry on the lack of updates on the kits due to work. I'll try to update it up by end of next week. 
Thanks for your interest on the set! :)

New deskmats are absolutely sick.

I would love the hexagon pattern to cover more of the mat if possible.

This is a really nice set! I like the hiragana look, but I agree that Katakana may suit the Eva theme better.

While you’re looking at the kana set, please consider making the following changes/additions (here I have used the standard notation of using R1 for the top row and R4 for the bottom, which appears to be the reverse of how you have the rows labelled):

  • Replace R1 む with ー, or add an R1 ー key. This is the syllable extending line character, not the kanji for “1” or anything like that.  It’s often inside a dotted box on Japanese keyboards.
  • Add an R3 む key
  • Add an R4 ろ key

These keys are required for correct placement for people who are actually typing using kana input; also, without the R3 む, ISO users won’t be able to use the kana set either. For kana-only sets, I believe these changes represent a nice compromise that allows JIS, ISO, and ANSI users all to get the most out of the set without having to add to many keys, and I would love to see this become the standard layout for those creating Japanese alpha sets.

If you want to support JIS users further, the inclusion of a 2U shift (which you have! Thank you!) allows for the extra ろ key on the bottom row, and a 3U space bar allows space for the English/Kana keys that go either side of the space bar on a Japanese keyboard.

Thanks for your consideration!  Please feel free to hit me up if you have any questions about JIS layout.

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll take in the suggestions and add the keys as optional keys :)

I know you’ve been busy and haven’t been able to post kit updates recently, but I just wanted to confirm that these changes are likely to make it into the set.  I am considering getting the matching shogoki switches but I only want to do that if I know this keyset is going to be usable for me, too ;-)

KAT Monochrome is a good example of a full kana keyset, if you want a guide to which keys should be included (I would recommend maintaining the angled version of ゛ you currently have rather than going vertical like KAT Monochrome, though; that’s a very specific design choice).  In case you ever do decide to explore sublegends, konstantin has a great guide to the various layouts involved.

Finally, I see you have pretty good international support including North, South, and French sets.  I would love to see a JIS kit so I could use standard alphas on a Japanese-layout keyboard.  If it’s too late for this, fair enough, but if this is something you’d consider please let me know and we can go over the keys that would be required. Feel free to contact me via DM or Discord, or just reply in this thread.

Thanks!

Have you got any renders for the red alpha set? I wouldn't mind the options for red (ortho) mods and colevrak.

Not really.. I just got real busy due to the end of my semester and was focusing on my finals and assignments.
Novelties (Enter key and Backspace key) are kinda done.

I'm sorry for the lack of updates lately.. I'll add some sneakpeek for the novelties by end of the year. Thanks!
Though, I might put this project on hold until KAT's QC and Delay issues are solved or gets better. Nonetheless, I'll continue updating as I continue working on the novelty.

Merry Xmas everyone! :) Thanks for your continuous support on this set.


P.S.: Would a "Shinji, Get in the Robot" for the spacebar be of interest to anyone? hahaa

Would of preferred the far superior sub-legends over mono, and Katakana over Hiragana.

i might be in the minority here, but imo the purple is a little too super neon.  On the other hand the purple in the original renders are a little too muted.  Lookin at some source material and the purple looks a bit more in between these two.  Any chance the neon could be toned down just a tad??

I don't think the neon would look like that in a real world setting, is there any way to provide a reference for that?
