Regarding the font, are you sure you're allowed to use it commercially? Simply just buying it sometimes is for personal use only.
A single user licence allows for commercial use for one user. For use on anything you please, both print and digital.thanks for the kind comment!

Yea I'm allowed :)QuoteA single user licence allows for commercial use for one user. For use on anything you please, both print and digital.thanks for the kind comment!
one criticism, which is, of course, my personal opinion, while I like the minimalistic mod symbols, I think they look rather "lonely" on keys >2u. There just seems to be a bit too much blank space on the larger keys.Well, you make a point. I could definitively try to adjust some >2U keycaps!
I would love to see ISO/Nordic layout :thumb:would appreciate it as well :thumb:
ok I don't know why this is bugging me so much but does this icon look out of place to anyone else? Like the other icons have dots or arrows and this one doesn't...idk maybe I'm just crazy
is there any chance for fortify color to have the same blanks as the normal fortify kit?Yea, several people asked for it, I guess I'll add them.
I would love to see ISO/Nordic layoutGonna work on it!
A small critique is that most of the color kits seem geared towards ortho/40% users, so it would be nice to see an option to add color for more standard layout users.I'll make an Alphas Color Mods kit very soon.
also, it seems you have ~’ and |\ in both the mods and the alphas kit as well, not sure if this intentional but it struck me as odd.Indeed, you make a point there… I'll fix that, and remove them from mods.
Have you considered MT3? XDA > DSA imo, looks greatNot really, I largely prefer uniform profiles. I'll make a poll soon in order to see which profile (between XDA and DSA) people prefer.
he only icon that bother me is the command icon, I think you better make something that resembles it rather than straight redrawing it because it looks very very off.Are you talking about this one?
iso norde would be amazing (even better in the weirdo style)
Some updates!
- Alphas mods : ~ and \ | removed
- Ortho mods : capslock repaced by shift
- Alphas colors mods added
- Forty color mods : blanks added

I prefer blank white spacebars, but I'll prolly make some colourful spacebars kits soon™ too.
I shall also maybe adjust the alphas color kit. Need to test it on different layouts.
I made a poll (since MD only allows 3 votes)

Changed my mind and leaning toward XDA now. I agree that the Mac command key icon should be a little different to fit with the other icons.Shoddy MSPaint I made of a possible alternative symbol.

J'avais pas fait gaffe que tu étais de France. Du coup, j'ai relayé l'annonce de ton keyset sur HFR, histoire de faire jouer la camaraderie françoise : )
Maybe just a circle with 4 dots at the corner?
Addition: how about adding Esc, Tab, =, Backspace for the numpad? Most of dedicated numpad have those row which rarely covered
Oh nice !
Qu'est-ce que HFR ? Tout ça est assez nouveau pour moi :blank:
Too many kits? If it lets people get everything they want, what's the problem :/

C'est Hardware.fr. On a une petite communauté qui tourne autour des claviers mécaniques sur leur forum.
Ee this looks really cute. I love the colour palette also.
Definitely in with full ISO support. Filled out the google form for you :)
Good luck <3
I like this set; the curved icons are refreshing. It would be nice if the Forty Color came with spacebars or the spacebars in Forty were split off, but that's not a big deal. As far as DSA vs XDA, I'm partial to XDA,Changed my mind on this; XDA or bust. :Dbut I like both and would prefer whichever ends up cheaper
Filled out the form, I'm definitely looking closely for this.
BTW, dunno if you saw this but I just thought that DSA PBT is would great option and well, SP is running a design contest. Ideal timing for this set.

Well depends on what is full support for you. Actually I have the ISO UK kit, and I'm working on NorDe kit. In addition to that, there is the mono kit which could help to fill the missing keys ;D

If the icons are as good as the others, go for it!
I wonder if it's possible to make them represent numbers, so a full novelty numrow with some correlation could be a thing ;)

This could be a really cool idea. I do think it would be tough to come up with enough that had sufficient uniformity for it to work well, but I sure would love to see it tried.
How about an F row of different flavored milkshakes - choc/van/pistachio.. I'm sure we can come up with 12 :thumb:

That's fantastic! Nice color coordination, and attention to detail right there. I think those last two milk-themed ones are brilliant, and my favorites, but I really do like them all.
I actually think a top row of all b&w novelties like that would look so nice on an all b&w board. Not trying to add to the set, but those last two caps look so nice it made that image pop into my head.
That’s nice too and honestly I have no artistic vision at all, but I meant using only the milkshake icon but in 12 different colors, purposely using colors of flavors - milk chocolate brown, custard vanilla, strawberry, mocha or coffee, banana, mint (Chico chip), etc. Just an idea I guess, might not work with the other kits
Looking good man! Any chance of a render with more of the coloured mods applied so we can see how they all work together?

To be honest I’m slightly confused by the white (alpha colored) caps in the otherwise colorful f-row tho.
Looks like this drop is going dsa again, I feel that the lack of xda caps means less people tried them before and don’t know the difference and just voted for dsa because they are everywhere in the community (since PMK and Chinese sets both make dsa and always available)I owned blank PBT DSA and XDA, prefer DSA than XDA, but not by much.
As personal experience, once I tried xda I couldn’t go back to dsa because the spherical top is too small and harder to locate compare to sa where the row height helps with location.

Support DSA for this set, mainly because those cute novelty and the centered legend looks nicer on DSA than XDA(this is very subjective though).
Or R2 of this in XDA?

Yeah, IMO it looks better on DSA too! I know There is like half of the community who would prefer XDA rather than DSA, but I have to choose. I'll close the Poll soon anyways, and post the final results!QuoteOr R2 of this in XDA?
It's a possibility. Perhaps even MT3 (through MD then), who knows…

Oh, wow, that XDA is even nicer with the clean look of this design. Every key is like a beautiful little canvas. Now I'm definitely hoping this one wins out.
Set looks great. If I had to nitpick, I don't like the consolidation of UK with Norde (I would prefer not to buy a huge ISO kit for the enter key when my plan would be to use the mono kit), and I prefer the original color mod kit only because I think I prefer green shifts. I do understand the justification for both though, and will buy those kits with no changes. I most appreciate you choosing the expanded Granite-style mono kit over the recently common ANSI-only style. Anyway, fantastic design. Looking forward to DSA or XDA.
Will the alphas and mods be in separate kits? Or will it be one big kit like the dsa ice creams currently running?

Awesome, thanks for not bundling the mods so I can go alpha+ortho+something else to fill up the 15 keys in the middle of xd75. I think fruits should work :)

I just hopped on this bandwagon, so I never filled out the poll, but I'd kill for this in uniform R3 dye-sub PBT (Like the icecaps I am typing on now)
But I'm probably a sore minority...
DSA is smol and cute, XDA feels wider and more pronounced.
I think DSA fits a set as cutesy as this
I wouldn’t worry about the xda crowd with oblique and canvas r2 releasing soon in that profile. Is SP producing this set?

I like this better than either of those, though. The icons to me are better than micons, and more understandable.

If we like xda, it doesn’t mean we willl buy any xda sets since they’re coming out soon. We like this design and we like xda.

Granite set's various runs taught that SP's sublimated DSA suffers from strong warping, present even in alphas and being worst in long keys like shift (2.75, 2.25), enter and backspace. That alone makes a strong argument towards using XDA. It is thicker than DSA that makes it more resilient against warping. It would be a shame for such a nice design to be poorly manufactured.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/1J7CPTp.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/FUYKwqN.jpg)

Didn’t knew :(
I hope the samples will be the more accurate and precise possible. I rly want this set to be as qualitative as possible!
I have no preference where it comes to the profile itself but after having bought a few XDA Godspeed novelties I found the dye subbing a little fuzzy compared to DSA dye subbing from Signature Plastics which I found more crisp in comparison but I guess it's still not that a big a deal breaker for me though in either case.XDA Godspeed had this issue but XDA Canvas and Milestone were not fuzzy.
I don’t mind either dsa or xda.I wonder how many people are in your shoes that voted, I wish the poll had "either" as one of the options. I like the looks of DSA sets as tons of pictures of DSA sets are floating around as it is more mass produced with SP constantly having them in stock. But after trying both XDA easily feels better than typing on DSA due to the larger surface area.
I don’t have any experience with both as I all my sets have been gmk this far.
The question now is, should I extend the Weirdo kit like the Alpha kit by adding (in mono style) the ~6 missings keys?

I think so :) since people might get it as a stand in for alphas *cough* me *cough*
I would be getting the mono kit so I don’t care either way, but if you do you should add the 6.25u space bar because that would actually permit me to skip the alphas.
Selfishly speaking I’d like to see the last 6 keys added so I don’t have to buy the other alpha kit to complete the set, plus I feel the regular alphas may look out of place when combining kits since the weirdo kit is mono legends as well.

Not sure if manufacturer has been decided, but I want to mention that Keyreative doesn't support homing keys. And all XDA sets homing keys are far from noticeable. It seems that dsa sets from Primekb have barred homing keys (honeywell and bounty hunter), which is my preference.

If I remember well, there are homing nubs, but not homing bars for DSA.
I’ll send the svgs Monday probably, and then I’ll have to wait 2 weeks for the samples. I’ll let you know guys!
God I've been eyeing this set for ages and just had to log in and show how hyped I am. It will literally be the first GB I want to participate in.
I'm only worried if I'll enjoy DSA since I've used Cherry profile since forever and I hit the very edges quite a bit.
Dang, was hoping this would be on Massdrop for much cheaper pricing. Preparing wallet...
any idea which set i need for fc980m?
Was a profile and manufacturer decided on? DSA and keycreative?
If you do DSA through SP, prepare for a lot of warping
Is this only an SP issue or an issue with dsa profile in general?If you do DSA through SP, prepare for a lot of warping
I think we’ve heard the concerns about warping by now
Looks brilliant! Even with NORDE support. Now I have a hard time deciding between this and XDA Oblique/Canvas. All look beautiful, although I slightly prefer the colors of Milkshake. ;D
Man. Any chance of adding ‘Werido’-style symbols to the monos?
Man. Any chance of adding ‘Werido’-style symbols to the monos? The alphas (mono) and numerics (mono) are variously available in both ‘normal’ and ‘weirdo’; but it looks like I won't be able to build a set with visible symbols that matches the ‘weirdos.’ (Sucks; because as fast as my Colemak typing is, I can never remember where the damn symbols are on the number-row without looking. This might be a dealbreaker for me, because the ‘weirdos’ really sell the set!)
Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to add — either to the “monos” kit, or to the base “weirdos” kit?
And finally — THANK YOU, FOR COLEMAK SUPPORT. I swear, every other colorway I look at, I get super excited, and then realize there's no homing T and N … :-X
I don’t think the kits would clash. As you can see he has renders from before he did the numbers in the ‘weirdo’ style, and the result does not look bad at all.
Dots would be amazing for raise and lower keys on an ortho board.
Dots would be amazing for raise and lower keys on an ortho board.
For all kinds of things, actually. The dots would also fit on a Tada68 with standard layout and three 1u ALT/CTRL/FN keys.
More like RBYP... I feel like green is underutilized in this set now, personally I prefer it to yellow. Oh well, I can't really gripe too much.
This set keeps getting better and better. Building my Preonic now and really looking forward to slapping this set on here.
Just made a geekhack account just for this. I need to know when is this coming out or the prices to make my decision between this set and another one. Is it going to be released before end of June ?

Hi, thank you for your interest.
We received manufacturing price, we need to calculate final price.
Samples took time to be produced, so the GB would probably start end June or the first week of July hopefully. Since everything is custom, we got a lot of stuff to check to ensure that the quality of the set will be great.

The legends seems sharp, we're kinda happy with that.
The GB should start in a few days :)

This looks awesome! Btw, if the kits aren't absolutely final yet, the spacebar kit could offer much better compatibility for split spacebar boards by simply adding a 1.25u blank.

Just make sure they include homing keys this time.
For the Preonic I'll need just the alphas and the ortho kit, right?
I'll probably end up with the weirdo alpha kit, ortho, and the Mac kit.
Do you know if I could change the shipping address I put in once a shipping date is established? The address I used will work, but depending on when it ships, I have a different preferred address.
