I thought you were going to add a 2U in the base color, not replace the accent 2U.  Oh well. :)

The kit would be quite expensive if it had so many keys. in both the accent and alphas color.

Zambumon,

Would it be possible for you to check with GMK and find out if that Core kit is really going to contain only what you've specified, or if they'll be adding any additional keys to it?  I use the Tada68 65% layout, which uses an R3 PgUp and an R4 PgDn.  GMK has been adding those to a lot of sets that don't specify it, because GMK's Uniqey C70 uses them.  It can get frustrating when I stay out of a group buy only to see the kits delivered to others include the keys I thought were missing.  It would be nice to have some confirmation from GMK about what the kit will end up including before they the group buy closes.

The kits I've posted here are final, and it hasn't been the first time I've offered this option to cover the C70 and, in fact, I've renders of both boards and this set using R2 Page up, R3 Page Down, and R4 End.

With 65 and 75% keyboards there's always people that want one option or the other. As both the TADA68 and C70 are programmable, I don't think it is a big issue for anyone.

That's really not what I was trying to ask.  I've seen several sets over the past year where the kit the designer specified didn't include those keys, but GMK added them anyway when they manufactured the kits.  What I'm asking you is not for you to add them to the kit, but for you to ask GMK if they will be adding anything to your kit when they manufacture it.

GMK has never added R3 and R4 Page Up and Page Down for free on their sets, they added 6.00U spacebars and R3 Code for sets that were in production or scheduled for production when the C70 was announced, as those kits couldn't be updated without a price change. Sets such as Nautilus, Yuri, or Laser benefited from this retroactive addition.

I believe you're mistaken.  If you look at the kit render for GMK Yuri on Massdrop, you'll see it doesn't include R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn.  The GMK Yuri set that I received includes both.  That was the first set I noticed this on.  I realized they were missing in the kit render after the drop closed, so it was a pleasant surprise when they showed up.  That happened again on GMK Solarized Dark (which I didn't buy, but saw photos of the received kits, and people confirmed the extra PgUp/PgDn were R3/R4).  I noticed this on one other, but I don't remember which set.  Nautilus and Laser of course included those two keys in their kits, so there was no change needed to include them.  The next data point I'll have in hand is Burgundy, which was unfortunately delayed a couple of months because Fedex lost the base kits, but I'll check it when it gets here.

The blue accents definitely make this set much more interesting imo. I'd never been a fan of brown and green keycaps, but this one certainly raises my interest. Space cadet, Modern dolch, this, Carbon, Oblivion, oh my.  :eek:
