cz. wygląda naprawdę dobrze. hoping you will consider 1.5u System and 1u Alt for hhkb and macos users. also, an R1 "=" for numpad would be useful but i know some keys have to be left out. powodzenia

edit: 1.5u Super keys, sweet! dz!

The 1.5u System and 1u Alt/AltGr keys are already present. R1 Numpad equals is something I felt I had to trim, even though I do like it personally.

I like it!
Prussian Blue is quite a famous pigment historically, that it when it came out, it even spread its use all the way to the East, where in fact Japanese woodblock prints like the famous "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" made use of it. (A quick fun article for those curious on the influence of pigment: https://quintessenceblog.com/prussian-blue-the-art-and-science-of-color/).

I was curious about the rationale behind the inclusion of the"Escape" button in the base kit.
I think making R3 "Control" an icon legend instead of text for that modifier would be better for visual consistency too.

Will new sublegend molds be made for that base kit too? Just from an aesthetic perspective, they seem a touch large in the renders, and shrinking them a bit in size might look better?

That's a really slick logo (<3 hunghingdailo).

The 1.5u Escape and Delete keys are used for Vortex Race 3 and physical Ergodoxian support.

I really don’t like the control icon in this context. The design language I’m following here has to do with key purposes rather than position. The text legend stays.

As for the tertiary legends, which are you referring to? The new polish capital letters match the typeface and sizing of the primary capitals.

Ah fair enough. I don't know anything about Polish layout, but given that they are alternative capitals, it makes sense they match the size of the primary capitals.
Visually, I guess I'm partly used to kana sublegends which tend to be a smaller size/stroke weight when they're in the tertiary position which led to my initial impression that they looked a bit large at first glance.

Ah, gotcha. With kana, you’re switching alphabets, so it’s easier to play with sizing and such. For the Polish Programmers’ layout, it’s still the Latin alphabet. The additional letters with diacritics are accessed via AltGr.

(Polish/US base) What's the R3 1.5u ⇩ key for? I think that and the second R4 1u Ctrl can be removed.

1.5u caps lock provides physical Boardwalk / Ergo support. Second 1u Ctrl is specifically for G80/1800 support.

(These are not kitting decisions I widely recommend, more just my personal preference, like the Vortex Race 3 support)

I can vouch that the designer (NoPunIn10ded) will happily take a pic of the said color he chose in the OP (he even gave the color code), from the RAL color book.

RAL means nothing. Cherry isn't able to match a color, this happens regularly.

Have ever seen triumph adler renderings vs final product?

Or gmk plum?

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=83969.700

They simple make an horrible job in matching colors to renderings or RALs. Furtermore in picture colors look always more vibrant than they are, and the "shine" a little only if ligth intensity is very high. I always go for bright sets because they end up being just dull.

I've been a bit of a grinch when it comes to some of the more recent sets... lately nothing really does it for me... this however looks like a must cop. I'll probably go in on this and hope the colors come out as presented. Was recently disappointed w/ Deep Navy and I kinda don't want to go through that again...

They’ve apparently stopped doing that pre-GB. The queue is just too long for them to keep up with orders that haven’t actually been placed yet.

Full Norwegian layout requires the DE base plus the Nordic addon. The Polish base doesn’t provide enough keys to cover ISO-NO.

Sorry, I didn't know. Then doesn't make sense to have German legends (which I like) on keycaps for Norwegian layout no?
