No, I can't buy more space cadet.

Any plans for R1 novelty layer modifier symbols? Square, triangle, circle, rhombus. Think F1-F4 or F8-F12

Any chance of having it all blue also?

Excited to see this return! I’ll definitely be picking up some extra kits to add to my round 1 set.

Any chance for R5 white on blue caps in addition to the black on blue in the true cadet kit?

KnoblesseOblige · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 20 August 2020, 09:56:47 »

I would also love to see a 1.75u R2 Backspace in the 40's kit.

What's the deal with the arrow keys and the extra numpad keys in the True Cadet kit?

They seem redundant. Were they intentionally included?

nu_types · « **Reply #21 on:** Thu, 20 August 2020, 10:14:56 »

Any chance you could add a 2u shift to this round? Pretty please?

Not sure about the numpad keys, but the arrows in the true cadet have black legends instead of the white.

The arrow keys in the True Cadet kit are black instead of white. The True Cadet also features a different bottom row (Row 5) so the Numpad keys from the Classic Base kit wouldn't work with that. That reminds me I should probably add those keys in blue as well so it works with the Blue Base.

Re: 1.75u Backspace, currently no plans to add support for more 40% layouts.

I totally missed that true cadet was R5 this time. Nice.

VXQN · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 20 August 2020, 10:26:52 »

Can we get basic ISO support in the base kit please? That way buyers can split the international kit amongst 2+ people from different locales.

Ah, thanks! I'd almost forgotten that Row 5 exists in GMK.

MiniVan support has basically been blacklisted for awhile now.

Could we get a 1u R3 rubout key (or some other novelty if rubout doesn't fit) in the 40s kit? Not everyone puts ESC or TAB in R3. Thanks!

While I do think the blacklisting itself is a bit ridiculous, there is still the core problem, particularly for GMK:
1) More keys makes a kit more expensive, potentially reducing sales.
2) Less keys makes a kit less compatible, potentially reducing sales.

It's a juggling act.

wish blue alphas were standalone.

Excited. Was really hoping to see a blue alphas stand-alone kit too. Been eager to fill out my OG spacecadet 40-bit with those sweet blue alphas forever!

pixelpusher · « **Reply #38 on:** Thu, 20 August 2020, 11:14:51 »

Gray mods would be enticing for R1 owners. Could build an all gray set or mix them in with Crimson Cadet. The gray in this set is one of the best out there.

boxfrommoon · « **Reply #41 on:** Thu, 20 August 2020, 13:23:09 »

Definitely in. I have been eyeing those cadet alphas for a long time. Also very interested in gray mods if possible. All gray set would look banger 👀

depletedvespene · « **Reply #42 on:** Thu, 20 August 2020, 13:32:50 »

Why no basic ISO support in the classic base?

Also, R3 \| in both base kits.

Also also, nutty idea to consider (or not): how about R1 Roman numbers going from I to XII instead of just up to V? (perhaps even up to XIII)

EDIT: Also also also, consider (or not) adding an R4 numpad comma key to the international kit.

LightningXI · « **Reply #43 on:** Thu, 20 August 2020, 13:33:23 »

Any notable differences from R1 aside from True Cadet?

Things I noted are text arrows for R1 and actual arrows this time, added F13, and only rub out no caps lock this time. There may be more though, would be nice to see some sort of diff for the uninitiated.

Edit: oh and also no blue ~` or 1.5u |\ in the classic base

Techlet · « **Reply #45 on:** Thu, 20 August 2020, 14:27:30 »

Oh yes please.

Also, would really like a normal capslock key or maybe even "mode lock".

Would buy the hell out of a gray mods kit or a Rama key-thumbs up or square, triangle, circle, rhombus (and Rama’s got 3 of those right now on minimal, you’d just have to swap colors).

Have all cadet sets here too, was hoping for a new colorway when this ran. Glad there’s an R5 tho.

foysauce_ · « **Reply #48 on:** Thu, 20 August 2020, 15:49:19 »

Yes, this is great. I just wish they had decided back then to make the arrows vim-like on hjkl.

jimboytacos · « **Reply #49 on:** Thu, 20 August 2020, 15:51:50 »

Have nearly all the kits from r1. Except for the cherry icon mods...

But I do want the new F13 as a standalone... Or at least

Definitely going to get the Tru cadet kit
