Are the alphas L9 or a custom color?

[Muffin_Smasher]

i feel like the lego smiley face should be added to the novelties now 

[Zambumon]

Update #2 will be released soon. I'm still currently making some final tweaks and making sure that everything is fine before posting anything, but it should be out this week. This update has taken me longer than what I expected as I've tweaked the colors and added new boards to my gallery. So most of the renders needed to be remade. But anyways, here is the final teaser before the update!

this set earned 1000 points now ... would you recommend this set only on black keyboards or the various grays?

Personally I like dark cases, as it helps to highlight the keysets and it's also more stylish.

Alphas are custom.

I don't have any plans to make any Lego novelties.

JAPANESE SUBLEGENDS!!!!

Nice, will most likely pick up a Hiragana kit for some mix n match

Keep in mind that Serika will use custom colors for the alphas.

> Please add R1 backspace key.

Ditto for R1 1u Backspace key (non-micon).

Secondly, and I know it's late in the game, but an all dark grey mods set would be killer.

Looking great, btw. Looking forward to the drop

[Lotsati]

Wow... Hiragana + Microns is sick. I'm so in now > I've already got Kobe + Blocknet for Laser so this will be a nice sister set.

40% kit needs a R2 1.25!!!!

[Zambumon]

40% kit needs a R2 1.25!!!!

That kit covers Minivan, Caravan, JD40, JD45, Sebright, Minorca, and Planck. None of those have a R2 1.25

[Wren]

This needs a yellow spacebar.

+1, I'm already in, but that would make this set really unique.

[dyrdevil]

I’m not convinced by yellow, but I might have to buy this to support the fact that you seem so fricken dedicated to your work.  This IC has been so awesome to watch, from the initial presentation, renders, to the updated kits and hiragana.  Damn nice work and I hope you keep it up

[Solotov]

Now.. if only we can get the white spacebar without having to buy the core kit..
Hiragana + Mito really make this set catch my eyes, but black spacebar from the spacebar kit wouldn't match them, imo.

My thought is opposite actually. The black/grey spacebar would be a nice punctuation for the Hiragana + Micons combo 

[FSund]

The new kits look great. The only strange thing I noticed is that the only way to get the yellow enter key is through the Dvoremak/Colemak kit (ANSI enter) or the Norde kit (ISO enter).

That's not correct. There's a yellow ANSI Enter, Esc, and numpad enter on the base kit. Dvorak & Colemak doesn't even have an enter.

Sorry, my mistake. I guess my eyes are not that good at recognizing the ANSI enter.

But I'm pretty sure there is no yellow ISO enter in the core kit? Not in the micons kit either as far as I can see.
I'm sure it's for cost saving reasons, but just wanted to mention it in case it's an oversight.

That's correct. There only yellow ISO enter key is a part of the NORDE kit. That was a design choice.

[gutsack]

I was originally not keen on this set because I'm not a yellow fan, but the recent additions won me over. Looks so good with Mito stuff. Nice work!

[KaosJ]

I was originally keen on this set even tho I'm not a yellow fan and the recent additions convinced me even more

Thanks to everybody! It is great that the new changes have been welcomed very positively. 

[Solotov]

At this point last thing I want to know is when this set will launch? Can't wait for it.

If I'm not mistaken, the ball is in Massdrop's court now.

Yes, we need a spacebar on the Hiragama kit, otherwise, you won't be able to just get Hiragamas+mod kit and that would not be nice.

That's my goal. If I have to add a spacebar to the Hiragana kit, then I'd add a 6.25U, a 7.00u, and 2x 6.00U units, I'm not going to just include a 6.25U one. There's already a standalone kit that provides those caps.

Having choice for another pseudo standalone kit for Hiragama to go with mito mod would be very nice !

My goal is Hiragana + Micons as well. I would gladly buy the standalone spacebar kit if it was the white/cream instead of black/dark gray.  Can this kit be created along side the black spacebar kit?

Niiice. Can't wait for the GB 

[Geek Maker]

1. R4 2U Shift , good
2, 6u space bar in base kit, good
3, space bar kit ,good ,but I want more yellow space bars.

[Draic]

3, space bar kit ,good ,but I want more yellow space bars.

yellow is the mod color, not the accent color. Spacebars are always either alpha color or accent, but never mod.

That's correct. And I've already stated that I don't want to add yellow spacebars on top of grey ones.

I've been trying so hard not to get overly interested in this key set since I absolutely do not need more.... But I can't help but fall in love with Serika. You've won me over Zambumon. It's absolutely gorgeous.

[lemur]

With how expansive these sets are, I am surprised there is no double zero key (00) for those with standalone numpads.

Is there any room for a double zero in this set?

It has been included in many other much smaller less expansive less high profile sets, it should also be in this one.

Already replied in page 1

It's also a useful key for people with separate numpads.

That wouldn't help to properly cover standalone numpads. You'd need  to add to that a R1 1.00U Tab, R1 1.00U =, an extra R1 1.00U ESC (Both in yellow and grey, to keep consistency) as well as a R4 1.00U. 00.

[RSC]

@Zambumon

Since you recently confirmed on instagram that the Hiragana alphas won't come with spacebars, can you please confirm if you will actually be offering a stand-alone white spacebar kit?

+1 for a white spacebars kit.

I do not feel that is applicable.

That user was asking about a key used on Row 1 -- Yellow in color...  A key that could, within the keys already available, be replaced with the row 1 'Geometries' or the row 1 'Delete' key (if their layout permitted it, not an exact match but close enough).

I am speaking about the Double Zero key 00 in Row 4 of the numpad, this would be a White key...

To get numpad compatibility with the set as is one can easily fill the top row of a six row numpad with row 1 'Geometries' keys..  But that would leave someone with a yellow row 4 novelty key in the 00 double zero spot, which, frankly, would look pretty bad. There are no other generic neutral looking row 4 white keys available in the set to fill this space, not in novelties, or elsewhere..

There is already acceptable compatibility for most numpads in this set, using row 1 novelties for the topmost row on a numpad...  I think there needs to be a row 4 double zero 00 key to finish off mostly acceptable compatibility for any numpad which has that key.

[lemur]

also consider the vortex vibe has a double zero...  certainly one cannot add compatibility for everything, and I can understand a designer not wanting 'partial' compatibility that isnt 'perfect' ..but adding that key does provide 'perfect' compatibility for at least one keyboard 

[Che.R.Ry]

Really nice set with great compatibility, great job @Zambumon
p.s : If there's any render with silver case keyboard that would be nice for some comparison

[RSC]

Well, just had confirmation from the man himself, in order to get the above combo you will need to buy Hiragana alphas kit + Micons kit ... + base set, cause no stand-alone white/cream spacebars kit will be offered.

WHAT?! Thats crazy to have to buy the entire base kit just for a spacebar.

But there isnt a standalone kit with a cream spacebar?

What color is the cream? If it’s L9 couldn’t u just get them from Oco?
