Q&A

Will try to keep this updated with IC form responses.

Why no F13, B, and split spacebar support since they are missing in Drop's WOB?
Already running in GMK Grìseann 2
Update: F13 was dropped from griseann extensions so it was added here.

Why no macro kit?
Already running in GMK Grìseann 2

Standalone 40s/ortho kit?
Very unlikely at this point. Basic 40s support is being added to the existing kits.

Icon bottom row?
No.

Text only mods?
No.

Shinethrough?
GMK WOB Shinethrough

Relegendables?
GMK Relegendables+

definitely down for the dark rgb and icon mods kits

Razer1987 · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 13 June 2022, 02:50:18 »

Hi, very interesting kits, dark rgb is a must buy. Also filled IC form and saw your interest for potential R5 kit, that would be awesome to offer something such as extensions R0/R5 which is almost impossible to get.

In the actual kits, R5 1u x2 would be a great addition for Tsangan layout.

Very good. Consider Dailyclack for OCE vendor

MSA_Vision · « **Reply #23 on:** Mon, 13 June 2022, 03:46:08 »

A macOS kit would be pretty neat. A macOS kit with R5 would be a godsend

Would you also consider R5 1.5u Super keys?
GLWIC!

chaitues · « **Reply #24 on:** Mon, 13 June 2022, 04:03:05 »

Yes please. I'll take two.

Thanks.

1.5u supers pls

VXQN · « **Reply #26 on:** Mon, 13 June 2022, 04:16:26 »

Any chance you could add a R3 Control to the icon mod kit?

GLWIC!

From the IC results so far, the demand for R5 definitely seems high so it will more than likely be included at this point. As far as the macOS kit is concerned, it's highly unlikely that it will be added but I have no reason not to if there's enough interest from the IC results. Thanks!

1.5u supers pls

R4 1.5u supers are already in the 2 accent kits with plans on adding R5 1.5u supers as well. With the current results, there's a high chance that there's going to be a separate R0/R5 WoB kit and R5 supers will also be included there.

Will give big succ for dark accents

yes, yes & yes! glwic!

Dyno · « **Reply #37 on:** Mon, 13 June 2022, 10:21:38 »

This is awesome! While at it, please consider adding R0 and R5 support since those aren't running in a standalone kit with GMK Griseann R2
Even tho some people wouldn't technically consider them "Essentials" I'm sure the option to buy a kit like that would be appreciated since an R0 in WoB is not possible to buy without recurring to aftermarket, and since that R0/R5 GB ran more than 2 years ago, I feel like this is a good opportunity for a new round
In the case you decide to do so, I would move the R5 Numpad Enter to the R0/R5 kit

BTW, out of the top of my head, why is there a second accented Fn key. Is it there just in case someone wants to use the accents in 2 different boards with a split RShift?

See Blunt's response about second 1u fn below. I'm too stupid and it's too early.

The 2nd Fn key is there for people who want to do 2 boards with split right shift as you said (one shift from icon only, one shift from text+icon)
