[hineybush]

yes

i said the same in the form, but please consider adding an extra B and F13 keys

[Khers]

OG icons, please!

[Emir]

damnit dixie not this set as well

Please change back to OG Icons.


edit; out of curiosity, are you forced to include the dixiemech novelty into your set if you run your set with dixie? just trying to wrap my head around it because it doesn't make much sense to randomly include it in a R3 of an established set that had nothing to do with dixie prior to this and have us pay for it. lol.

[002 DC]

take my money

[hineybush]

damnit dixie not this set as well

Please change back to OG Icons.

if dixie is running the set i would imagine that he 1. wants to include his icon in the set and 2. will do so

[MyManMart]

Such a good set. Glad purse caps is in a separate kit so I can make my R2 complete.

OG Icons are good design, but I wanted to change something comparing round 1 and round 2. As you know, I designed the round 2 with text modi and modern Icon set. Current icon is one concept of this round.
And regarding dixiemech novelty, I will discuss it with dixie. ^^

[cocobrais]

<quote snipped>

In this time, I am not sure to add it, but I will consider it.

Things never go well when you change something "just to change something".

If you want to differentiate R3 from previous round, find new creative solutions.
I still vote for OG Icons. Don't let Dixie talk you into these inferior (subjective) changes. 

[depletedvespene]

A few quick comments:

1a) Please note the alpha key acompanying the vertical ("ISO") Enter key is incorrect and does not support a proper English (USA) over ANSISO or ISO keyboard layout. You have an R3 #~ key instead of the technically correct R3 \| key (the R4 \| key is fine and can remain as is, OR can be changed to an R4 <> to follow the terminal style instead of the PC style).

1b) It can be either the above AND/OR complete support for English (UK) over ISO, meaning the missing keys R3 '@, R1 `¬¦, R1 2", R1 3£, R1 4$€ and AltGr (in each relevant size) should be added. The best option of all would be to have full English (USA) + English (UK) support (and that would mean exactly one more key than full English (UK) over ISO support).

2) I'm not a fan of the Dixie logo on a non-Dixie set.

3) I'd add an option for burgundy split space bars.

[wholypantalones]

Welp, was looking forward to this set but it looks like the fixed icons killed that.

The Cherry logo key looks like a bunch of grapes and also not a fan of the Dixie key.

May I suggest some alpha colored spacebars instead of mod colored?

May I suggest classic text and icon for this round?

[Khers]

This, please

Yes, gotta agree aswell.

I also vote for OG icon mods, not a fan of that dixie keycap aswell.

[upas]

I'd suggest adding a 1.25u R4C keycap into the space kit, for the split space folks.

[dantambok]

Oh thank god it’s not text mod

[Wilba]

2) I'm not a fan of the Dixie logo on a non-Dixie set.

Dixie is like a ghost writer who doesn't know how to not take credit

This is gold!

[aslanxdeft]

Gimme Hangul alphas

[otanishock]

Maybe korean alphas in base kit and latin alphas as child kit? My inner weeb sense is tingling 

Don't often make any comment on keyset kit, but perhaps this time. No comment on your choice of icon mods, either one is fine, but agree with what Emir stated above that Dixie's X does not make a whole lot sense here. I'd rather just get an extra B, either that or an F13. Extra B or F13 make a whole lot more sense than Dixie X's.

[martensson]

This would be a perfect fit for Chimera65 Black/Burgundy.

^ really sad the Korean alphas are entirely missing this round.

[tex_live_utility]

Another vote for:

• No centered icons.
• No Dixie novelty.
• Literally any other key instead of the novelty: 1.25u R3 for 40% support, 1.25u R4c for split space support, etc.

Hangul sublegends in base kit would be pretty cool.

[ttom]

- pls consider a korean alphas child kit
- gotta agree with others that the dixie novelty doesn't really make sense
- pls consider og icons

also why are there 2x 1u convex keys in the spacebars kit? I thought only ortho uses those, but there's no ortho support elsewhere in the kits?

[jani80k]

+1 for OG Icon mods

[biothermal]

The Cherry logo key looks like a bunch of grapes

It is a bunch of grapes! I think it's a nice little twist on the cherry logo in light of the theme of this set  )

ah, wow I'm a dumb ass. I get it now, sorry not enough coffee when I looked at this at 5am.

one more vote

[Atlantic]

Not a fan of the "fixed" icons, and the whole dixie novelty seems out of place. +1 for the suggested changes

[Ensaum]

I'm gonna offer a controversial opinion and say I prefer centered icons if you must use icons. Of course, I'd rather have text or text+icon, but that's not the meta of this community so oh well.

[dr_unconscionable]

Also going to go against the grain and say I’m a fan of these fixed legends if they’re going to be symbol only. (Still not as good as text mods )

Agreed with comments about the Dixie novelty, but I do think the grapes novelty is cute for this set.

[rora]

yes

[_rubik]

This might get me slapped, but what are the chances the numpad can be broken into a separate daughter set to bring down the base price?

[hineybush]

yall are treating these icon shenanigans as if coco wasn't the one who wanted the new legends for round 3 anyway

[depletedvespene]

Consider yourself slapped. 

[beadlock]

2) I'm not a fan of the Dixie logo on a non-Dixie set.

Dixie is like a ghost writer who doesn't know how to not take credit

Quick to criticize putting a logo in a set, but also forgets that their logo is on every pcb they make.

Ne logo-less ghost writer pcb avail?

Had to try :shrug:

Def deserves a slap, the base kit looks perfect. The only changes that I'd ask for are No Dixie X (Dixie I love ya, but this ain't it chief) In my opinion it doesn't match the aesthetic of Burgundy.

Comparing something where someone literally designs the whole PCB and puts their logo vs what's happening here?

nice comparison

it was a joke

[GarrettSucks]

the better question is if coco wanted the new legends for round 3 anyway

The answer to that question is yes. Coco presented the idea before I even said anything about it. So I didn't force anything on anyone and I never do.

I will gladly remove the X logo from the kit if Coco agrees. I did not mean for this to be such a huge thing. I have always seen it as a nice way to fill spots like F13 and any 1800 or compact layouts with one cap instead of needing all the legends. And it's somewhat generic. But I am fine removing it since it is what the community seems to want. I already messaged Coco about it, so if he says to remove it, we'll remove it.

i love the X logo, keep it. it's something you're selling, I think you're allowed to include your logo

[megaforce]

OG Icons

KR alpha add-on

Keep the Dixie X and cherry logo, it's cute

Yeet the B key and F13 into the spacebar kit. If you have a Alice layout you probably have the Jane v2 CE as well -- you'll need the space bars any way hehe xd
 :^)
And since we all know you're going to hit moq with the sets,

NE hirgana avail

[ABrotherThatIsUndercover]

In when I saw the title, though I hope Korean Alphas can make a comeback as it was one of my favorite parts of the previous round.

[tomu]

bring purse back, GMK icons look goofy without it

[lolafineday]

Yessss

I love the x logo. I don't want jtk to be the only bastards with logos on my kits haha

[Yakbats]

This is super tempting. I'll definitely be following the progress

[cocobrais]

As Dixie commented, I agreed the removal the X novelty key. You guys will be able to check to remove it in next update.

Still I have been checking the opinions and will decide the changing carefully.
