Hi!

I love the design - the two tone feel is something I loved from KON MOMO and I'm glad to see more people using the possibilities of dye sub

I was glad to see ISO UK support added, however the "localisation" kit is... confusing to say the least. ISO UK is missing two keys, there are a couple of portuguese and german keys, and then there's a few keys I can't even identify which national layout they're from.

Miguel Farah/depletedvespene has put out some great resources for creating international kits: Kits National Layouts Interactive comparisons between layouts. I highly recommend looking into them and using them to adjust the localisation kit to support the languages you choose.

I would love to buy this set, but with the current state of the Localisation kit, it would personally be a pass.

Thank you for making a start, though :)

(I also support the notion of a UK vendor - ProtoTypist is who I'd personally recommend)

Please rework the localization kit to make it work with NorDe layouts as pointed out in the post above. If fixed this set would be an instant buy for me. Thank you!

From what I can gather, this kit is mixing support for two different layouts: a) English (UK) ; b) Japanese (Latin) as seen on JIS keyboards. Both are incomplete. See http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/Interactive-Comparator-of-Different-National-Layouts/?left=enUK&right=jaJPla for a direct comparison between both.

I'll make a separate post with all the issues I find in this kit.

depletedvespene · « **Reply #103 on:** Sat, 23 January 2021, 15:55:01 »

Konstantin has already pointed to the proper information about Hiragana and Katakana, so I'll focus on the Latin alphabet.

1) The base kit is ANSI only (plus the 1.25U Shift). This is fine, as long as the localization kit gets everything else right.

To support JIS (Latin): R4 \_ is missing. R1 7* should be 7' (bit-paired keyboard, remember!). R1 ¥| is missing.

To support English (UK): R4 \| is missing (also counts for English (US), PC style). R1 `¬ is missing.

Once a new diagram that combines everything is produced, I'll be happy to fine-comb it.

Oh man I love them, can't decide which of the novelty colors I like the most.

This set looks awesome, Get a Canadian vendor plssss

nico.psd · « **Reply #108 on:** Sun, 24 January 2021, 08:39:51 »

Instabuy, undecided on which colour to get for novelties. Please consider a UK vendor 🥺 GLWIC.

CookieFlow · « **Reply #109 on:** Sun, 24 January 2021, 09:24:05 »

This is pretty awesome.

I am just a bit confused about the Bars Kit.
It feels very big but at the same time, it doesn't offer every color for split bars.

Is it not possible to include Kamaboko and Seaweed split bars into the current kit similar to the Colors Kit that has every color?

My favorite accents are Seaweed and Kamaboko. The only 2 colors left out

Or maybe to have 2 Bars Kits could be an option?
1 with every color for 6.25 and 7.
And 1 with every color for Split Bars.

Def loving the vibrant colors and the novelties as well

I'll announce all vendor prices soon.

4th deskmat is taking longer than expected, it's almost done so it should be up shortly!

Btw, Feb 1st is this upcoming Monday! 500+ people already on KBDfans waitlist!

herpderpenberg · « **Reply #114 on:** Fri, 29 January 2021, 23:15:09 »

I'd pick up the novelty plain kit. I like it.

supermunny · « **Reply #115 on:** Sat, 30 January 2021, 02:44:52 »

I like the set, good colors, nice theme! An idea for round 2 maybe, how about a novelty kit with a few different caps in all the color choices? I don't see many people needing 20-30 novelty keys, and if you want variety in colors then you're looking at dozens of extra caps.

~~Is it too late to fix the localisation kit, in that case?~~

Edit: oop, should have checked OP.

Thanks for fixing it!

No homing kit? I would like to be able to use it with dvorak and possibly workman layouts.

jagger27 · « **Reply #120 on:** Mon, 01 February 2021, 05:23:47 »

It bothers me so much that this uses Apple-style icon mods but doesn’t include a Command key anywhere. Also rip no 1.5U supers besides the novelties.

It did occur to me at one point, but I just decided to focus more on keeping the base kit price low. However when I do this next time I'll make a Command kit for my mac folks.

I know you are getting a few comparisons to ePBT Sushi but is the white the same white as ePBT sushi? Or is it different? Either way, fantastic set!

They white is completely different, the pantone I chose for it looks similar to WS2 but slightly cooler.

Hi, I like this design a lot. However, I can't help noticing that the Japanese characters are different from the standard Japanese keyboard which other keycaps have.

Look at each character. They are different. I wonder why is that. Thanks!

I use Katakana for my set, the one you sent are hiraganas. They're both japanese, just different characters and uses.

Hi, so I was wondering how come KBDFan store doesn't have the desktmat?

Unenlightenment · « **Reply #130 on:** Wed, 03 February 2021, 14:15:13 »

Is the numpad kit supposed to have two 00 1u keys or is that a mistake?
