Sorry, if it was borderline result, I would have baked the stepped mods into base kit, but majority of responders preferred to keep it out base kit, which is fair. Perhaps there are OG GMK Honeywell users, who just want the BAE and stepped mods themselves without buying a whole new base kit to access them. Anyways, it follows our initial plan with the base kit.
Toro and I both really like the Cadet sublegends, but yeah we're going need a lot of interest from consumers and vendors to able to justify the MOQ necessary for triple-shot sublegends in a separate base kit or alpha kit. In the current market we don't want to overpromise a kit, only for it to be cancelled during GB. We'll keep our options open and try to explore what's possible and see if it's something achievable.

Looking good :thumb: The R1 and R3 1u \| keys should also have a / sublegend in the top-right.

Ah. Keen eye. How critical is the / sublegend on the \| keys? Each extra key that requires UV print increases the cost of the kit, so I'm tempted to not include them if it's not particularly vital... They feel a little superfluous, but will include if that's a big deal.
[As an aside, I note that KKB Jindo which has doubleshot Hangul sublegends did not include the ₩ (won) symbol on the \| keys, to presumably save on mold costs.]

Eh I wouldn't count on KKB being able to truly match GMK's colors. I grabbed most of the child kits for KKB Skidata Neo to match with my GMK Skiidata set, but KKB's match of GMK's N9 & V2 was not so great. You could definitely see the difference between the two. I ended up having to grab the Skidata Neo base to go with the child kits I got in the GB.

Mmm that's fair... shouldn't bet on being an exact match... KKB will match with the SP color chip references that GMK and DCS runs used as reference. But even then, Signature Plastics has a disclaimer on their ABS color chip website that "resin varies from lot to lot and the color may have a minor shift from one order to the next."
