Nice job capturing a very handsome color scheme.

Given how many kits are in the Oblivion and Dracula ICs, maybe this would be a good candidate for a "small and cheap" style of kit design, like what they did for GMK Minimal.

The icon mods for both shift and capslock key not vertically aligned are bothering me. both of the icons should be aligned just like tab, enter and backspace's icons.

 This is probably a mistake in the render. Those are standard GMK icon modifiers

Didn't notice for my form entry but can you add super/meta 1u keys for WKL layout instead of FN?

Would love to see vim navigation keys added either in the base kit or through a separate kit. Having vim keycaps seems so fitting for this colour scheme especially since it is based off of an IDE Theme. Would also appreciate a 1.5 Fn or 1.5 Alt Gr key.

I'm absolutely digging the colour scheme and wish you the best of luck with the group buy in the future.

Agreed on Vim keys and 1.5 AltGr. IMO there's no reason not to include arrow sublegends on HJKL in base kit, but I know someone will complain about it.

I've bee very keen on this set ever since your first reddit post. It's like if you took Oblivion and made it more blue and replaced those silly text only mods with icon mods, and those are both positives in my opinion!  :thumb:

LightningXI gave a lot of great feedback, but I'd also like to mention specifically for me alpha colored spacebars are a must (if not in the base kit, maybe in another) and R5 bottom row would be nice to see as well.
R5 bottom row would be pretty cool ;)

I like this, but it could use some tweaks IMO.

To match the simplicity and sophistication of icon mods, I'd change the two line legends to one, like "Num" instead of "Num lock", "Print" instead of "print sc", "Pause" instead of "Pause break" and "scroll" instead of "scroll lock". Then I would also change the legends for multiply and divide to the alternate ones.

I can see you now incorporated all of this, nice!

Will buy. :)

I’ve been thinking about that honestly. IC form shows that 60% of people want the numpad to branch off into its own kit. I’m going to decide after consulting with a vendor, but as of now, it’s going to remain in the main kit.

The updates are awesome! The spacebar the same color as the alphas looks pretty good.

Are you planning any accents (for esc, enter and/or arrows)?

That's great to hear, hopefully it will become a reality. If you are not to intrigued in adding more keys to the main kit you could always add the vim arrow keys into an already planned kit rather than introducing a new one. Such as adding the vim arrow keys the the spacebar kit or they numpad kit if you go down that route. It could be away of bolstering the other kits.

What he said + icon mods.

Icon mod is about preference; kit design is about compatibility. You can't just ask for icon mods and assume that will be treated the same as asking for specific kit configurations. Unless you want a separate icon mods set that definitely will not hit MOQ.

Modern Dolch icon kit hit MOQ. As did many others. I don’t quite follow your reasoning.

Is there a specific reason you chose muted blue colors for the alphas and their legends instead of the usual white/gray-ish legends like the other IDE themed keysets?

I prefer the Nord theme over the other IDE themes but I find this keyset a bit lacking, at least visually, compared to them and I think that's mainly because of the legends.
The Nord theme has a nice muted colorway but with the mods, alphas and legends being a muted blue, it just looks a bit too pale? Not sure if that is the right word.
But that could just be me given how popular the reddit post was and you mentioned that it's just inspired from the theme.

Nonetheless, it's still a good keyset and I'm sure it will hit MOQ.

I can see what you mean. IMO, OP chose to stay 100% true to the color palette, but iy would be interesting to see it with the "usual white gray-ish" as well!

I actually disagree, I wouldn't want another boring, medium-dark mono set with some color accents. Stick to the color scheme, because it's a handsome color scheme.

I would love to see a render of that as well!
Maybe make one and see if people like it more?
Unless he chose the colors deliberately like that of course.

It would still be 100% true to the color palette, I would have just preferred the Snow Storm instead of the Frost colors from the Nord theme for the legends.

I mean it would still stick to the official color theme and given the bigger interest in the other ICs of the IDE themed sets I'd say it's worth a try to follow their sets with lighter legends and monochrome mods set to see what people think about it then.

It's an IC after all.

Yeap, I will probably buy this kit because I was looking for a dark GMK kit with NORDE support for while, the only thing that bothers me that the alphas a bit "too muted", some lighter color would probably give the kit a fresher look.

The bottom row keys being different colors between alt, control, super, meta, etc. kinda triggers me on this set. Also, why Super keys for one bottom row and Meta for the others?

Second this. Would love to see renders with monochrome modifiers to see how it’d look and in a separate kit if you think it looks good!
