I've been a bit quiet here as I've been waiting to see what the quality of various factories are like. Based on the IC form there isn't really a clear favourite for factory or typeface so I've been biding my time to see how other sets are coming out.
I've bought an Adelie to put these caps on so I'm going to ensure this happens (with 40% support too!) but the only two factories that seem to offer both 40% compatibility and reverse dyesub are Infinikey and KAT. I'm not super happy with the quality I've seen for either of these manu's yet so haven't settled on a final factory. Hopefully will come to a decision by the end of the year.
As for other changes to the set:
- Going to move to a slightly lighter blue colour which is closer to the original blue
- The 1u ortho enter keys will be moved to R4
- The accent keys will be removed from numpad kit and 2u enter accent key added to accent kit
- Modifiers will change from text+icon to icon + bottom row, still working on these
I'll refresh the renders in the next few weeks with these changes and will hopefully have factory + vendor announcements too.
Thanks to everyone for sticking with me - this IC has been pretty long but I've wanted to make sure that the final product is as good as it can be (for a non-GMK set anyway).
2.25u & 2.75u novelty spacebars would be nice!
I'll consider this but didn't want the novelty kit to get too bloated.
Just noticed that the numpad kit doesn't have any R5 keys. 108 key/1800/CP/96% boards would need this above the numpad.
The End and PgDn keys in the numpad kit would be the same profile as the F-keys above, with those plus the top row Del key in the base kit, isn't this enough for those layouts?
All in if sublegends feature Zapf Dingbats
Sublegends will be staying as is, sorry
Spent too many hours on them to change them now!
