Gah, want these so bad but by the time I get the keyset + modifiers + 104 + ISO + shipping, it'll end up costing more than my keyboard -__-

What is the likelihood of using the Cherry Replica font for this order?

I'm typing on an OG Red Alert set, and would rather have a different set.

OP updated, price for the base set down to $58, only 35 till we go down another $6, which is the last large price drop, as the next (200) is only $3. Gogogo! Red modifiers also hit 75, and Grey is almost at 50.

I think original RA does include the grey \| (if that's what you were referring to, but if not...disregard lol)

Yeah, for sure, please feel free to use them.  As long as you're OK with my awesome watermark =)

Are the grey and red mods going to include a center stemmed stepped caps lock?

No unfortunately not. I figured adding the center stemmed version was enough in the base set. I suppose I could add it to them but with the number of people already committed to the sets, its a little late to make that sort of change since it increases the price. It'd add about a dollar to each of the mod kits to include it. (It would be less at higher quantities)

I know you guys love your stepped caps, but getting it in the base set may have to be good enough for now. :P

@ Inlikeflynn: ah, I never noticed it in your set, good call.

A dollar is trivial.  Add center stemmed stepped caps lock to the mod kits.  Don't pull an imsto...please.

All I'm saying is that I need more than 3 people saying they want it, I have a guy who single handedly has ordered 30 sets, if a couple of the really big orders want it, then I'll do it, but its a more significant price increase for them. I'll send some PMs to the larger orders later today if they don't respond on their own.

Then place an order lol. You can always cancel if the price doesn't go down enough for you... but if everyone follows that logic, then it usually happens and more.

How much of an issue would it be getting a tilde key in row 1 profile (Z-M, whatever row that actually is).

I can take a stab at the answer, but I want to ask.

Eeeh, I'm pretty sure the one in the ISO kit is Row 2 (which may be the same actually, someone with a Ragnarok ISO kit should chime in and confirm,) which would be close but no cigar. The legend wouldn't be a perfect match but it would have a tilde on it. Adding one is no longer an option with the number of orders we have garnered. Just adding it would be a small increase in price but its a bit too late for that. What layout do you have that has a tilde in row 1?
