How often do we see keycap sets offered today with the kind of layout flexibility that the old 7-bit group buys used to offer? In settling on the Model M color scheme as the basis for keycap sets, we've sacrificed flexibility in favor of reduced cost (and production time). Maybe that's a reasonable trade-off for most folks, but I'm sure glad I got all my Round 6 CADET and HONEY keycaps when I did.

I feels like we make assumptions based on what's trendy, not what people actually use/need. It's one thing if the IC decides to remove an under-loved kit, but it's another if they don't offer the kit to begin with.

IMO every set should have full TKL coverage with mandatory 40s, fullsize, and ISO kits with no MoQ threshold. It's frustrating to shop for new sets and have to rule out most options just because your keyboard is smaller than 60% or larger than 75%
