Please add an alpha colored quote key to the 40s kit. GLWIC!

matthewdias · « **Reply #4 on:** Sun, 19 September 2021, 11:15:22 »

Can you please add a 6.25u bar to the 40s kit also?

I really enjoyed watching this set develop!

Some points for improvement:
-vertically center caps and shift in 40s
-consider accented 1.75u enter in 40s
-board renders could use improvements, especially with lighting

Overall I think this is a great start to an IC and I'm sure this set will be successful, best of luck!

Me likey

would reccoment less harsh lighting in kitting lights, makes keys look a bit weird, regardless GLWIC

Thanks! I'll definitely be working on my board renders and I'll have a look at those points with the 40s.

A few kitting suggestions:

In base, consider changing the R3 1.75u Control to use an icon legend for a more consistent look (example).
The text legend has a habit of looking odd when paired with icon mods.
In base, add an extra R4 1u key with a generic legend, e.g. Code, Meta or even a novelty legend thematically tied to the set, e.g. GPS.
This extra key has a few use cases, including covering some oddball layout variants from 40% all the way up to 1800.
In numpad, add a R1 1u = key for 1800/CP/96-key and Mac numpad support.
In NorDe, the following keys are currently missing; add them:
- R1 1u 2"@
- R1 1u 3#£
- R3 1u \|
- R4 1u <> w/o sublegend
- (optional) R4 1u , numpad key
Also, the R4 1u ;: key in the NorDeUk kit has an incorrect legend, it should be changed to ,;.
_(reference)

kameron · « **Reply #9 on:** Sun, 19 September 2021, 13:05:11 »

please split the 40s and the ortho kit up

Super interesting IC. Unconventional kitting that I'm sure will make the 40% fans pretty happy.

Curious to see how those novelties end up -- that's a lot of fine detail on one 1.25u cap

While we're working on the NorDe kit, any chance to correct the R4 "; :" legend to ", ;"?
Many European layouts need it and this key is mislabled on this frequently used template

Still haven't found a layout that actually uses R4 ; :

Dazdigo · « **Reply #29 on:** Mon, 20 December 2021, 20:46:43 »

Who do you plan to use to manufacture this keyboard? What material are you going to have it made out of? What keycap profile are you going to use?

I love the color scheme and want a set for myself. I am hoping that this set is made out of PBT and uses the cherry or OEM profile for the switches.

Just noticed, the base kit has a 1.50 shift labeled and no 1.75 shift. Im guessing this is just an overlook or typo. Looks like a great set and very well may be my first MW set.
