I will make a deal.
We're not changing the base set, but I'm willing to do one of two things.
1. Make a giant "everything else" set to be sold alongside the base set.
I'll comb through the IC, through the DT thread, through this thread, through Massdrop and reddit comments. I'll add every key that's been requested that makes a lick of sense to add. All the requested euro languages, alternate row 4 modfiiers, winkeys, hhkb, 1800, blanks, you name it.
We launch it as a drop in a few days time, so it has plenty of time to run alongside this one.
Everybody who wanted to add their own keys will get a chance, but they will reap what they sow: a high price and a high MOQ.
It will be a chance to put your money where your mouth is.
2. I'll tally up all the extra wanted keys in the same way, but I'll split them into child packs. So you'll be able to get only what you want at a cheaper price. Trade-off: it'll be highly fragmented and still have high MOQs, I doubt many packs will make it, if any. Not that the mega-pack would have a great chance either.
=======================
I'll make the decision about (1) or (2) purely democratically. Have a vote, I'll defer to the masses completely. Then we'll do it ASAP, provided I can get Massdrop on board.
Then there can be NO further B1TCHING from ANYONE, no matter what the outcome is. Agreed? The community decides which approach to take, design by committee, and then everyone has equity of opportunity to purchase the keys he/she wants. Success proves the demand is there. Failure proves it's not. It doesn't get any more meritocratic.
This will be a referendum for the future as well, to gauge what keys actually have demand.
I don't predict it will be a success either way but I'll do it however you guys think will be best.
