I'm wondering how the new keyshop is going to shift the keycap dynamics, I have a feeling we might all feel less special once it kicks in, it might dilute the market significantly
I ended up going for a True Retro + Burgundy duo with all mods, no regrets
I also asked SP for a 1.75/1.25 R4 printed arrow cluster quote, if it turns out to be feasible, I might end up using the Retro set for a long time with all my prospective 60%/65%/75% layouts

Well the quote just arrived this moment, it's quite hefty, very hefty, I was thinking of going for 5-6 alternatives to select from, it seems I will have just one shot at $100+ for 4 keys :) (which is not unreasonable, but hefty)
- One possibility is having "UP"/"LEFT" etc. - another one is arrow/nudges similar to the original 1u arrow keys - I used to enjoy the text versions with the Dolch DSA - but with an 60% usage, the arrows could be better - as it would better distinguish the arrows from the other 60% keys
- Another option is the color,

This is the layout
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/85b9345f838e66e59e9769302b9d9a0c - it will be all True Retro, with VAV Esc, and maybe VAV Enter too - the arrow cluster will have a different color to distinguish itself
I would really appreciate ideas to help me select, and maybe if there are other 60% right arrow cluster users out there, we might get a micro-GB going on
