Is it possible to include, in the baguette kit (or even all others countries kit) the missing keys that the Mac keyboard contains ?
I can't find anywhere a way to create mech keyboard that 100% match the ISO-FR Mac keyboards. Is it useless ? Does people aren't interesting in having a mech keyboard that 100% match their Macbook's keyboard ? I use to switch a lot between my apple magic keyboard and the laptop's one.

The Mac kit should be good enough for ISO-FR or any other layout

In ISO-FR, there are 7 keys that does not match from the PC and Mac layout, that's why I'm asking if it would be possible to includes these 7 extra keycaps in the kit. I've done lots of research and cannot find any kit/set that offers the missing Mac keycaps, so it's impossible to build a mech keyboard that 100% the Mac layout.
Would be nice to add them here really, unless people does not care and are used to the "PC" layout.

@biip: any thoughts on this ?

French Mac layout is even more niche, and this support would increase the price (and MOQ) of the entire kit.
So I don't think that I'll make this addition, sorry.

I'm not familiar with the term "e-white" - is that distinct from just calling it a white case?  Totally agree with you, this set paired with a white case is gorgeous.

e white refers to electrophoresis white, electrophoresis being a process to colour it I believe (as opposed to anodisation)

Do you have an idea of the texture of the PBT used? I have SA Ice cap set and it has lovely smooth texture.
Have you tried it or considered it @biip ?

I think it would fit this set perfectly. If possible at all.

Ice Cap is ABS so it will be different. Not sure about KAT, but in other profiles, PBT has always been rougher.

Edit: I stand corrected. Thought SP had only done ABS SA.

PBT can be smooth or even shiny. KAT is quite smooth and matte, with a slight chalky texture.

Same here. MOQ of 10 is great but I was ready to buy a few to help... I hope numbers end up good and we see more AZERTY kits in the future.

Any price break opportunities? It's gonna be a tough pill to swallow for alphas,mods,specialties,calc and fruits. Looking back now, I wish the mods kit had been a little bigger to include a couple of keys for hhkb backspace and spacebar

Baguette MOQ  :eek: 10 that's a lot lower than I expected  ;D

EDIT: If I had know MOQ was so low I would have pressed a bit more for the 5 keys for BE support, I would have bought multiples, and I expect that Qlavier would also have been interested.

Would it still be possible to add the 1.5 ESC key to the specialties kit? I have a Vortex Race 3 (I know :( but I like it!) and it seems excessive to buy the Ergo kit just for that one key.

You'd need the 1.5u delete key too then. Sadly I won't add anything else to the specialties kit since it's an add-on to the modifiers kit.

Well, I thought so, but it was worth a shot :) Thank you for this set!

For the delete key I probably would have just used the white 1.5u backspace from the specialties kit

Why is CMD $33 while UK is $13 with a lower MOQ and same count?
