Is this still in the works?

If so, I'd be in for 1x shift kit, 2x 100 kits, and 2x 150 kits.

I will want to buy 4 sets of these.  I don't care what they look like as long as you're running this show Samwisekoi   8)

The state of this GB is that it is moving up on my list while Matt3o and I put the Sindarin (Elvish) set on pause for a bit.

There work out to be about 15 keycaps (row, size & colors) that are needed.  Once we get a count and/or orders for those, then we can pick whatever legends exist at SP (probable legend MOQ = 10).  Then a buy and fulfillment, etc.  I'd like to place the order BEFORE Retro DSA keycaps arrive, but if not, then I won't place the order until AFTER Retro DSA keycaps have all left my office on their way around the world.  I do NOT want to have multiple GB inventories on hand at once.

Right now I am trying to figure out how to configure an intelligent order form for the keycaps.  Experienced users are going to be able to look at the list and say "yep, gimme 3 of 1x Row 1 in RoW, 3 of 1.25x in Row 4 WoR, and 3 of 1.25x in Row 4 WoB.  Other people will look at the sentence I just typed and say "wtf?".  And to get the best prices, I need to cover both.

If someone wanted to be really helpful, compiling a list of the extra keycaps needed to make a Klaxon Pure, or a Klaxon Race with RGBY, or a GH60 "HHKB ANSI", or a pick-your-keyboard, etc., that list would really help a lot of people who have expressed interest.

Here are the keycaps for the GB:

Item Description
100-R1-WFK Row 1 - 1.00x Red on White (Row 1 covers the top TWO rows where the function keys and number keys live.)
150-R1-RDD Row 1 - 1.50x White on Red
 
125-R4-VCJ Row 4 - 1.25x White on Green (Row 4 covers the bottom TWO rows where the spacebar and the Shift keys live.)
175-R4-VCJ Row 4 - 1.75x White on Green
225-R4-VCJ Row 4 - 2.25x White on Green
275-R4-VCJ Row 4 - 2.75x White on Green
 
100-R4-BFK Row 4 - 1.00x White on Blue
100-R4-RDD Row 4 - 1.00x White on Red
100-R4-YY Row 4 - 1.00x White on Yellow
 
125-R4-BFK Row 4 - 1.25x White on Blue
125-R4-RDD Row 4 - 1.25x White on Red
125-R4-YY Row 4 - 1.25x White on Yellow
 
150-R1-RDD Row 1 - 1.50x White on Red
150-R4-BFK Row 4 - 1.50x White on Blue
150-R4-RDD Row 4 - 1.50x White on Red

Finally, maybe, just maybe, I will toss the media legends in as well.

Hope the above information is useful for all Klaxon and GH60 buyers, as well as all owners of sub-TKL keyboards who would like an RGBY set that actually fits!  Please let me know if you would like to assist in building the "What Do I Need?" table.

TL;DR This is moving forward.  I could use some help in figuring out what keyboards need which keycaps.

Just an expression of support.

you're doing an awesome job and these things look very good.

when I have gotten rid of my oversupply of keycaps (bought too many 37-key sets), I will have cash in my paypal account and start making orders.

when do you plan to close? May I respectfully suggest you set a three or six month limit so that people know when to order?
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Nice.  Just take your time when putting this together.  I don't mind waiting.
