I'm so excited for KAT! nice and thick PBT, support reverse-dyesub, and not as tall as SA. I think it will be a very popular non-GMK profile as more designers make sets

It's a bad trend seeing them lumped together. It only started because GMK has such high MOQ, but that's not the case for KAT.

Really digging this.
Been looking for something to put on my purple Candybar coming at the end of the year and this seems like a great candidate if the purples co-habitate well.
Looking forward to renders for sure, that would be my only request for one ;)

I didn't realize it was such a strong opinion whether certain compatibilities should be combined. I personally use a variety of boards which is why I lumped 60%+ and sub60 together, but I have included a new field in my form to leave feedback for splitting both of those kits.

I really wanted to use Kindred Lamb/Wolf masks but alas, they were not ok with me using their IP. Came up with my own chubby chibi versions of their lamb/wolf xD

I'm so jealous! I always loved playing Kindred but I was absolute ass.

Hi there are some updates!

Here are some pretty renders for you.

Doing a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure that colormatching will be completed before the GB runs and that there will be some keycap samples before as well!

So I'm still trying to work with Keyreative on this... but their molds for 40s support is pretty lacking. Some of the current keys I have proposed actually don't exist yet so I am trying to see what I can do about compatibility. Regarding the Dimple, I'm actually not quite sure what the compatibility requirements for this specific 40s layout is but if it's relatively simple to support, I don't mind looking into adding a key or two in order to support it. :) I'll take a look into it.

You actually reached out to Riot and they denied using the IP? That's messed up.

Yeah since the selling of keycaps is considered a violation of their IP, even though I was willing to do a non-profit at cost kit for some really cool Lamb and Wolf masks. So unfortunate 😭

Even for a non-profit run? Didn't they specify in the past that their IP is free to use for all hobbyists and content creators that just want to make **** for the audience? How would this not apply? Riot is really ****ing up on this one.

BTW, I would kill for region-specific keysets. Like a Freljord, Ionian or Piltover set. *hint hint*

Yeah I'm really sad about it :( My current profile pic is one of the novelties I wanted to use but no big, just went with a different aesthetic. Would rather have a cool CW than risk the Riot legal hammer.

HMMM those are really good ideas 👀

While I wouldn't mind this so much, I have seen other ISO users of the mindset of "why should I buy a whole kit when I just need 4 keys". Having a separate UK kit allows those people to buy a smaller "basic ISO" kit, and may actually increase sales.

You could regroup UK and Intl kits, we ISO users wont mind and it will help reach the MOQ :)

I've definitely considered this and am leaning on the side of keeping those two separate to support more flexibility with just getting UK. MOQ requirements are not looking too terrible but it's something on my mind. Good to know that there are ISO users out there who don't mind supporting each other!

Thank you for adding a Colevrak kit!  This kit could be called Colevrak+ or Typist since it covers more that just Colemak and Dvorak: DH & DHm variations of Colemak; Workman, Norman, Carpalx QGMLWY, and QWPR.  Perhaps more.

Adding an R3 non-homing U would give every supported layout the option to run without homing keys.  Adding an R4 ' " keycap would help anyone using Programmer's Dvorak.

And please don't take this the wrong way, but there are two typos in the kit render.



Regarding the Numpad kit, is 5 a homing key?

Colour gradient is well and truly amazing but it's not for me because of the LoL references. Would be a insta-cop with standard icon or text mods.

I've really been digging the recent bump in frequency for QGMLWY. Might consider the switch over from Colemak if the trend persists

Oh no, thanks so much for pointing out the typos! I really appreciate your feedback and will make some changes right away :)

Also, the 5 is a homing key! When I get actual renders done I will be much better about labeling rows and such xD
I just didn't know if KAT was homing/dished before I made those mock up kits so I used the same flatlay design for Bliss and SA is dished

I've bought several desk mats in the last several months even for keysets that I didn't buy. I have about 4 keysets coming and about 15 desk mats  ^-^. I think I have a problem  :)

Very intriguing set! Very much interested even though I'm not familiar with KAT profile at all.

The set does not seem to allow Home (r4)- PgUp (r3)- PgDn (r2) - End (r1) layout that's pretty common for 65% boards because it seems to be missing a r4 End key. Did I miss something?

BTW, thank you for decoupling Numpad kit from the base!

sorry you feel that way, I'm still considering the feedback for splitting both 60-TKL and 40s/Ortho but depending on the MOQs may also keep them combined. ultimately would rather support more layouts than risk MOQs not hitting.

Cherry keycaps also have unusual row names, but everyone uses the standard R1-R4 (well, some recent sets have been R0-R5).  This table is from Deskthority:


I recommend using standard row labeling on the kit flatlays.  Showing KAT row labels in addition to standard labels might be interesting, but would probably cause some confusion.

Fantastic update! I am in for a tkl one.

Is there a chance you could add a r4 1.25u shift key to the TKL variant? I believe a decent number of 65/75% layouts use it.

I was learning towards not adding text mods to side kits since my original vision was to use icons. However I think I will be adding them in, I'm just debating the best way to add text mods to side kits since it'll blow up the numpad kit but not so much ISO/International/Colevrak so I'll update once I've decided :)

Thanks for adding the text mod kit. Icon mods confuse the hell out of me so it's highly appreciated.

One thing though - I think the mod kit would benefit from a single 1U Ctrl key. Both of my 75% boards have 3 1U keys on the right of space bar and it's often used as Alt,Fn,Ctrl. It can be reprogrammed, of course, but it's a common layout worth suggesting.

Even for a non-profit run? Didn't they specify in the past that their IP is free to use for all hobbyists and content creators that just want to make **** for the audience? How would this not apply? Riot is really ****ing up on this one.

Probably because there is a commercial component to it (i.e., money changing hands) even if that money would eventually go to a non-profit. The money thing makes it icky for IP attorneys; it's less of a hobbyist/content creator allowance that generates additional interest in their IP. If they wanted to make a keyset themselves (like Overwatch did with Razer) this would be a competing product.

It's all right. I'm baffled by the decision mostly because up to now, their IP policy was very lax for all manner of creators. You could use game assets for YouTube content creation, their music is royalty-free and I have never heard of Riot pursuing any legal action against merch with fan art. This seems like a departure from that policy.

I've been a fan of league for years and know of artists who make stickers, pins, shirts, etc but they are "technically" violating legal IP, Riot just doesn't do anything against them.
I don't know if they would have pursed legal action against novelty fan art but since there are so many entities involved in the keycap making process (designer vs vendors vs manufacturer), we felt that it was safer to be more cautious and not use any art that may violate IP. It would be pretty disastrous if a GB were to be hit with a lawsuit hahaha

sorry you feel that way, I'm still considering the feedback for splitting both 60-TKL and 40s/Ortho but depending on the MOQs may also keep them combined. ultimately would rather support more layouts than risk MOQs not hitting.

I understand, but MOQ is low enough for KAT that this shouldn't really be an issue. Besides that, it really doesn't make much sense to combine ortho and 40s. It'd make a lot more sense to put 40s in base, maybe create an extra bars kit and combine ortho with ergo instead. If anything here is at risk of not making MOQ it's ergo.

It'd make a lot more sense to put 40s in base, maybe create an extra bars kit and combine ortho with ergo instead. If anything here is at risk of not making MOQ it's ergo.

It may seem like MOQ is low for KAT but I think perhaps you're not considering that minimum key unit amount must be created, which is 24k units.

For example, a GMK set without custom colors may have 120 keys in the base kit, so with a an MOQ of 150 that would only produce 18k units. Considering extra kits such as 40s, spacebars, novelties, those would add a couple thousand more units.

So I would say that Keyreative MOQ is actually comparable to GMK vs SA which truly has low MOQ (with the offset of high pricing).

The benefit of Keyreative is that childkits can technically have low MOQ since it's easier for kits to help each other out to reach the 24k units collectively, but the minimum of 24k units must be met regardless. So for GMK, even if 500 base kits are sold and only 10 kits of 40s or ISO, those child kits will not make it. With Keyreative, the extra numbers in base will help the child kits which is awesome :)

Heyy! I only see this now but it looks amazing! Would love to see more renders actually. I hope I'm not too late but are the kits finalized? There's something I want to suggest which has so far been overlooked in Colevrak kits but that I think would make a great amount of sense with these big Colevrak sets that support common Colemak mods like Backspace on Caps and the DHm mod etc:
It's https://colemakmods.github.io/ergonomic-mods/wide.html
It's moving the right hand keys one step to the right for a wider typing posture. The only thing that would need to be added to support this mod (which can be done on all layouts except dvorak with the exact same change) is a closing bracket ( ] and } ) key for the asdf row.

I normally use 40% but I have an HHKB layout keyboard and I want this set to become the set for that keyboard, since I think it needs one with more than 4 rows to look truly great :P However, I use the wide mod on there, so I would love this change, hopefully it is still possible!

Edit: I was looking at the kits again, thinking about using the set on my planck instead and noticed that there would be a key missing for me, can I request a second 1u shift for plancks? I doubt I'm the only one that would use one

Hey! I'll see if the 1u shift can be added since it has been raised before but I don't think the Colevrak kit will be changed for now.

Oh, false alarm.  To me the ESC novelty's legend in the Tofu render is the darker R2 base color.  Whereas in the Novelty kit image, the legend is the lighter R3 base color.  This overlay shows what I mean.  Anyway, I'm glad there is no missing keycap.

Know nothing about League really. But these colors look great, as does the profile.

Just ordered the set on MKB.eu, figured I'd check in here as well. So I'm auto entered into the giveaway?

Just checking; the TKL kit comes with "Standard" 6,25U enters right? Since it is specified on the Ortho set but not on TKL.

Now if only the Novelties contained 1,5U R1 keys for my Race 3 that'd be awesome... But it's probably time to hunt for some 1,5U of compatible height.
