I will probably be much more likely to make very minor changes which will hopefully make more happy and not upset many. I think the most likely change will be to the nav to text based.

Thank you!

For future buy... whenever both is possible for interest and cost I think we can do it. Some of us like one kind of legend style, others like another... sometime we need to make a compromise too so we can all get to MOQ together to have anything made at all. I will do more intensive interest checks in the future to help determine these kind of topics. Ideally I would like to get to a point where key/legend selection is more or less set for full sets, and it will be the same each buy, just change colorway. Then we can do mini packs for more special kinds of things and kind of alternate back and forth on full set and mini packs.

How about this;
Keep N9 complete set with whatever legends
Add option for CC alpha keys set
BINGO - dolch if you want it
or vice versa on the alpha key colour as the standard if still can't make the MOQ...

I don't get why people keep trying to turn this into a Dolch set, if you read the thread that was never the intention.

Adding an alpha option doesn't help either as it's held to the same MOQ as the rest of the caps.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

At the beginning this was a 'dark dolch' set - N9 alphas and black mods.
It then got changed to just N9, which is my personal favoured choice.
Now the GB has been open for many months without meeting even the lowered MOQ - something has to change if it's going to happen.

All key is doubleshot legend except windowed key. Only windowed key have a pad printing.

I get the line of thinking on offering an alternate alphas... but then we have 2 set with same MOQ... and almost double price. Now... maybe I would be more inclined to do something like that with bright blue, orange, bright green... something DIFFERENT.  I get Dolch is a popular favorite... but I wish we could do new thing and not same old same old.

I could get behind any of those options, I love my purple mods and think a red or orange set would be awesome! Blue would look awesome too but I'm guessing people will be all blued out with Raindrop R2 on at the moment.

I just blue myself!

See exactly... this entirely was my line of thinking for this very neutral all uniform base set. You get this base set, then in the future we can make smaller packs of colorful keys to mix and match. It will look good with anything but perhaps black/beige.

Yep that's been my plan all along for this set, the mods will be split off for use with white on black alphas and the alphas can go with a set of purple mods or whatever gets made on your next mini pack GB.

Okay another probably rubbish idea;
new poll and find most popular colourway for a mods pack
offer it only in combination with the XX colour complete base set.
blackmailing yes but it worked with $10 WoB carrot to get the purps produced in the first place...

GMK caps are fine on Costar and Cherry stabs, it's only PBT that has that problem.

I think it looks like now we will stick with N9 like I originally planned, switch the nav cluster to text and call it good... For add on pack there is not really that much interest in many of thing I proposed. It looks like if anything it will be extra top row windowed keys, doubleshot lock key alternates and maybe a gamer pack.

Sweet, I think that will be a much more flexible option overall! Really hoping this hit's MOQ, I want new alphas :P

Yeah I really want the symbols even if they're with text, if this is the case I'll have to pull out. A real shame you got the balance spot on with the Keyset.

[edit]
I think I misread that, it's just the small nav cluster them that's no problem.... Not even using those keys! Ignore me.

Only thing change is the nav cluster, so for example instead of 'fishbone' up arrow it will be pg up, just like in the photo. I will ask for update render when final any add on pack.
