Sad to see no change to terminal in base or appearing in the extensions kit, hope the quality turns out well with that price tag.

I would have gone with terminal ISO in base from the get go if I knew the molds for it existed when I started making the base kit . I considered it heavily when you posted your comment on the IC but ultimately decided to keep the base kits unchanged . I agree I probably should have added it in extensions but it flew over my head completely since there was so much work to do , I have asked myself many times if I have missed anything and unfortunately this was a thing that I didn't think of . I really do hope the quality turns out to be great as well.

Apparently in Ashkeebs' website, the base kit for Dolch includes teal accents. Is that actually the updated render?

On the flip side, just picked up a full set of kits for myself with the UK-ISO support. Would be very interesting to see if Keykobo can run expanded language kits at much more reasonable prices than another double-shot ABS key cap maker.

That's a bummer, they were such a competitive price. The gmk CYMK addon is out on GB now but it's over twice the price.

[HungerMechanic]

I know. I actually put money into this, but it got cancelled. So I have to go with GMK for 2x the price. Hope the quality is worth it!
