Big update today so let's jump right into it...
First, I did end up requesting a couple of samples.
As a reminder, these are not correct for color. See below:
A couple things:
1. E@ represents the maximum vertical dimension that SP is able to doubleshot on SA profile, which works out to about a 10% vertical reduction from their current size
2. Legends are too thin, especially compared to the inspiration and especially with the size reduction
As a result,
all legends have been completely reworked to be significantly bolder. Please see some comparisons below:
You might have also noticed the color change in the above comparisons. The previous color, 7716 C, is no longer showing up on Pantone's website when I search for it. So rather than risk any potential supply issues due to the color being possibly discontinued,
I've gone ahead and selected a new standard, 7717 C. Comparison below:
As you can see, this new color is even deeper and more saturated, which I think will look fantastic in ABS.
Now onto some kit adjustments...I know I said previously that the kits were locked, but after adding the novelty kit, I realized that ISO users could easily run into a situation where they would either 1) be missing a key, 2) have to use a duplicate key, or 3) be forced into buying the novelty kit! To fix this, I've moved the Σ keys back into the Alphas where they originally were. I've also took the opportunity make a couple other adjustments in order to get you guys better end pricing:
1. Following recent trends in numpad kit design, R1 keys for standalone numpads have been removed from the Numpad kit.
2. 1800 layout support has been moved from the Modifiers into the Numpad kit.
This should result in better pricing on the Modifiers, Numpad, and Maths kits, as well as providing complete (physical) ISO coverage and some novelties for everyone who buys the Alphas.
Finally, I've decided to offer two deskpad options, a high contrast green one and a monochrome black one:
All updates have been posted in the OP. I also incorporated the new novelties into the updated renders. Deskpad renders and kit pricing should be up in the next couple weeks. We're getting close!Massive thanks and shoutout to Abec13 for redoing all the renders!
