Proposed kits
CORE
The Core Kit is the starting point for everyone. Composed by 136 keys, it provides basic
layout coverage for boards ranging from 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, 96-key, 1800, CP and Fullsize
layouts in both standard and winkeyless variants.
Some notable inclusions are the accent enter and escape, split backspace and stepped caps
lock keys.
(https://i.imgur.com/W8KGQK5.jpg)
FORTIES
The Forties kit provides extra layout coverage for many small form factor and ortholinear
keyboards, including Planck , Minorca, Sebright or Percebe. The kit includes small space
keys, and Enter and Escape accent keycaps.
(https://i.imgur.com/Dk3JvfC.jpg)
EXTENSION
This add-on kit extends Core’s layout support by providing multiple shift keys in 2.25,
2.00 and 1.00 units sizes for FC660-like and 60% keyboards with arrows, small space keys
and a second B for split and ergonomic keyboards such as the EM7, Alice or Lubrigante, and
extra layout coverage for 60%, 65% and 75% keyboards.

ISO
The ISO kit adds layout support for German and UK ISO keyboards.

Novelties
Featuring the Nautilus submarine, Kraken and Giant Waves, the novelties add will give you
the extra touch to take your keyboard even deeper under the stormy ocean.
(https://i.imgur.com/1Aw6PtG.jpg)
Space Keys
The space keys includes accent space keys from 1.00C to 7.00C for both standard, split,
and 40% keyboards. On top of that, this kit will extend your layout coverage by including
two 6.00C space bars so you can cover an HHKB or Cherry G80-1800 keyboards.

-2 tabs
-6u spacebar
-6u spacebar
-a lot of 1u modifiers
-10 different versions of pg up/down
-1.5u code (which we have alt, ctrl for already)
-2 ansi enter
Same goes for numpad. Splitting up kits like this is just so expensive.

Really dislike no ISO in base (only 4 keys needed) but instead we have those:
-2 tabs
-6u spacebar
-6u spacebar
-a lot of 1u modifiers
-10 different versions of pg up/down
-1.5u code (which we have alt, ctrl for already)
-2 ansi enter
Same goes for numpad. Splitting up kits like this is just so expensive.
Those listed keys are more useful than ISO, which is an incredibly small crowd.
Numpad is probably an even smaller crowd. How many people use fullsize compared to other sizes? I think it's about 30%.
It's simply a popularity game to lower the price for the majority.

The renders are gorgeous, really good work on those! What I think would be nice tho, if there were render with more neutral and / or more common colored boards, as most people don‘t have those (imo) „fancy“ and exaclty color-fitting boards.
Love the idea of keyboard specifically made to fit the color scheme! Genius!
Ah and by the way, I think you mixed up the inch and mm numbers.

Looks really good! Since I‘m usually not that into green keysets, I will have to let this sink in first tho.. (Sea pun intended .. ;)

I'll add more renders with time, it's just that in most cases I want to make the keyboard be secondary attention point, this is why most people didn't even realize that there's even a brand new keyboard there :)
You are absolutely correct about the inches, it should be 15.7 instead of 17.7!
Post by: typischt on Wed, 12 September 2018, 14:20:47
Haha, I totally meant the 17.7 inches.. ;) (seriously tho, just was confused as my brain thought, that 900mm was too big for a keyboard, while clearly the deskmat was meant.. sorry about my confusion)Looks really good!

Ah yeah, makes sense about the „keyboard secondary“ point, completely valid and it does draw a lot of attention on how good the keycaps already are! :)

Happy to see the numpad keys get separated into a kit, hopefully this becomes more standard at some point.
Post by: Zambumon on Wed, 12 September 2018, 16:49:57
I think I like this. I'd be a little worried about it suffering from the solarized dark effect in terms of matching the renders
That's why I plan to use a RAL color palette for this set, as the results we've got in the past with this system is way much better than anything you can get with Pantone.
Holy man...
Add that compass novelty of Camping to the novelty kit pls.
That could be a possibility, I was happy of how it looked on SA Nautilus

Or just replace it with the Cthulu For President 2020 logo :))
Post by: cijanzen on Wed, 12 September 2018, 18:24:27
Call me crazy but I really think the novelties kit is doing a disservice to the "evil depths" motif the palette is going for. Like, I would still have the "shrimp on a line" enter novelty. but I would switch it to like a skeletal fish/shrimp instead of the lighthearted nautilus version, if that makes sense?
Or just replace it with the Cthulu For President 2020 logo :))
Lol that’s not a shrimp on a line it’s a giant squid on a submarine a la 20000 leagues under the sea!

I know that with all these renders it might sound weird, but that's how I do my projects, I just try to do my best and present something in the best possible way I can. And prior to publishing the project page the only people that had seen it were Mike from Novelkeys (as they have designed the deskmat and I asked them for permission to make some renders of it) and some friends, basically just like I did a long time ago with SA Chocolatier.
I'll definitely consider some of the ideas for the novelties, I've seen people have suggested krakens, Chuthulu, or GMK Camping's compass (which I think worked so great with SA Nautilus).

I want new 2.25u novelties. I do not want squid to be seen on the Nautilus submarine. It hides the Nautilus submarine too much.
The squid isn't hiding the submarine, it's a part of it. The submarine novelty is based on the Nautilus II from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic.
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/75/5a/1c/755a1ce5dae986b98719cd662a08765c.jpg)
I’m in for a Special Edition Verne... My only suggestion is adding H,J,K and L keys with arrow sublegends to the novelty kit.
Noted, those could be added to the Novelty kit, but it's not on my top priorities list.
And we could say the same for accent arrows, which I didn't add because I consider them too distracting.

Please for the love of all that is mighty let us have NORDEUK/Nordic kit!
I'll fish this (https://www.massdrop.com/talk/9665/gmk-nautilus-nightmares/2197695) from our short exchange over the Massdrop talks discussion page:
This question is always asked and while I'm open for debate for this kit, and most of the time I just give the same answer: it is not viable to offer kits that don't reach even half the MOQ and get them done and only in very rare ocassions when we know for a fact that there is an enormous hype for the set given how the interest check has gone (like Nautilus), a set should consider its addition.
Because even with sets that have massive hype, NORDEUK kits do pretty badly: GMK Space Cadet reached about ¼ of the MOQ, even with some people customers actively trying to help reaching those numbers by purchasing multiple kits!
(https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/img_comment/JLXyBVMiQ2C6ZWFVNHys_j9CDAeA7THeI9BE9pz7Kcommunity.jpg)
Let's say that I have with certainty that there's huge interest for this set and an international kit can be done.
So, what to do now? Given how the kits have been designed, the conditions for an international kit should be easier, right?
Not really, price is a huge factor for this kit, even with a smaller main kit. So maybe a NORDE with the UK keys could work, given the pricing of the space cadet one (which was 45 USD sans ISO enter keys and shift) it would be around 50 USD. And this will definitely backfire with the British people because "no way am I going to pay 50 USD for 4 keys". We have to keep in mind, the UK community is the biggest (and most active community) by a good margin here in Europe, so if they are not buying the kit then we have a problem, which is exactly what happened with GMK Space Cadet.
So, here is what you probably don't want to hear because the truth is that there isn't a magic formula to make this work: we have to remove keys and get a kit around the 30 USD and maybe that way MAYBE it could work. So let's say we do a kit where we do not feature the tertiary legends, and those that could be considered non-essential such as E € key, the Q @, and the M µ, and try to make it as small as possible it would get us around. I will count the 2 ISO enters as "double" keys so we can better guesstimate the final pricing:
I'm going to study two options, the first one will be having just German and British support, as these are the two largest communities in Europe. The second case will add Nordic support (NO/SE/DK layouts).
- For an UK (5 keys) + German (19 keys) +2 ISO enters and shift (5 keys) that would be 29 keys, which should be between 30 and 35 USD.
- For an UK (5 keys) + German (19 keys) + NO/SE/DK (8 keys) + 2 enters and shift (5 keys), that should be 37 keys, which will end up in probably 40 and 42 USD.
So I'm going to discard the latest option, because it will definitely be well over the 30 USD target price I said I wanted, and go with the German/British combo. So, now that we have a kit, given how I've set up the kits, with this cheaper base kit without Numpad and ISO which more people should be able to get it should be easier to reach MOQ for an international kit, right? Not necessarily, and we don't really know for sure because this situation hasn't been given before for a GMK set. In fact, I think that the result of doing this will be that I get more complains for having a 120 USD kit and a 30 USD International that is should fit the needs of most people rather than a 150 USD base kit with just the UK keys.

.....(I snipped your quote out to not create such a long response)
I really appreciate you writing up such a thorough repsonse Zambumon.
I do understand that a lot of planning and thought goes into the kits.
Yes, the UK and GER communities are by far the largest one's in EU and that it's important to cater to them first and foremost.
I do however think that spacecadet isn't the best set to base all of these predictions and guesstimates on.
Mostly because i thought that spacecadet was going to sell more kits that it actually did. And i have a feeling that this might be because people like looking at spacecadet but it's not a kit they would put on their own keeb.
Most of all i think it's a bit foolish to not make a norde(ger/uk) kit just because you don't think it's going to see enough buys.
If the set is going to be ran through massdrop i would like to hope that massdrop might be kind enough to help the kit go through.
I personally only use ANSI, but my girlfriend really needs the legends to match because she is not as big of a nerd as me so she doesn't touch-type.
PS. Sorry for double posting both here and on MD but i didn't think you were actually going to go through all replies and respond to them.

That's just the most recent set, so he used those numbers. It's been like that on MD for a while, and they can't just keep pushing them through. It's not like they're going to make the money on it after. They don't even run out during the cappening events.

For sure, we don't know how often or for how long MD will keep pushing kits through.
I'm sure they have a good way of figuring out if it's worth for them to put kits through.
It's widely known that they some times purchase some sets to get kits over the next price drop and don't share that lower price with the participants, i'm not saying that's wrong of them, i'm just saying that it's probably all of these things that makes pushing kits through sustainable for them.

Massdrop buys extras, but they don't buy that many extras. And I don't think it is good to have GMK making kits that are nowhere close to the MOQ.I also think that if the numbers aren't there, we shouldn't put strain on the economy of the sets in order to prop them up. I get it- I have layouts that I want to cover that I pay a lot more because of the structure of sets, or can't even cover with certain sets. But that was my choice to use that layout. There is only so long that this situation can keep going on without affecting other areas, and it shouldn't be viewed as a sustainable situation.

Yes, GMK loses valuable production time when making those kits that aren't close to reach the MOQ. And since I like to see more and more brand new sets getting done with GMK, this issue is something I'd like to avoid.

Nautilus was the first GMK set I bought. This looks phenomenal. I love the colorway.
Its so awesome that its unique, and elegant with just a handful of colors. I love this direction you have taken recently with Jamon, and samurai blue as well.
I'm totally in !
Two requests/questions :
- The novelties look really nice, but could you perhaps do more league inspired novelties, something like the motto for the Nautilus for instance ?
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Nemo#Emblem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Nemo#Emblem) (I think the nightmare version with the acent colors would look pretty good)
- Nemo. The Keyboard. When ? I get the Verne reference, but to be honest, the Nemo might be an even nicer pairing.
- Can I assume that when the Nemo becomes real (if?) you will add colorways on the keyboard to support your sets ?
Post by: Zambumon on Fri, 14 September 2018, 05:05:15
2. I don't know, I'm currently remaking Nemo, it was my oldest keyboard out there and there are many things I wanted to change. Regarding colors: sure, why not.

Usually, what happens is that people will skip the kit, so I want to add an incentive for them to pick one of those 40s kits.

Percebe is a 48 key keyboard designed by me. It comes with an integrated 4.5mm plate, hotswappable PCB, and USB-C connector amongs other things. I'll post more about this project in the near future, once some things get sorted out.

Yes. Oblotzky wanted a 1800-CP board with a Percent-like design, that's what Andromeda is.

Love the theme of the set, all the glowing green text is like a thousand unblinking eyes staring in the wet dark.
Do you think accent keys using the brighter green of the text color would be too distracting/noisy?
I’m very eager to see what your take on a purple themed set might someday be!

Yes. Oblotzky wanted a 1800-CP board with a Percent-like design, that's what Andromeda is.
I don't mean to detract from the IC, but is this going to be available sometime? It's beautiful, especially when paired with Nautilus Nightmares.

Verne and Nemo are beautiful but that F96H takes my breath away, so brutally retro.
Love the theme of the set, all the glowing green text is like a thousand unblinking eyes staring in the wet dark.
Do you think accent keys using the brighter green of the text color would be too distracting/noisy?
I’m very eager to see what your take on a purple themed set might someday be!
I think it would be distracting and that dark accents fit better with the nightmare theme.

In fact, I think that the result of doing this will be that I get more complains for having a 120 USD kit and a 30 USD International that is should fit the needs of most people rather than a 150 USD base kit with just the UK keys.
Man if you can get a GMK TKL set for ~120, I'm definitely in for this.

2. Can we have some alternate color F keys? I for once actually enjoy uniformed F-row.

1. The main set has two of the tab key, I dont know if anyone pointed out for you yet.
2. Can we have some alternate color F keys? I for once actually enjoy uniformed F-row.
1. It's intentional, and I point in the OP why
Quote
A second R2 1.50U Tab key has also been included on this kit. This eccentric addition allows
you to potentially reuse some of your extra modifiers on another keyboard. For instance, you’d be able
to cover a standard ANSI TKL keyboard and reuse the extra modifiers on an HHKB layout.
2. Fewer kits are better, and alternate rows are not essential, as they don't provide any extra coverage and there isn't a huge demand for them.

A couple days ago I mentioned the idea of including an extra B on the 40s kit. My goal with it is to encourage more people with high-end split keyboards which have doubled Bs (such as the EM7, TGR Alice, and LZ Ergo) to have a good reason to get this kit and not skip it. For clarity issues, I've also been thinking about updating its name "splitboards and 40s".Show Image(https://i2.wp.com/zambumon.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/04_nautilus_nightmares_kit_splitboards_40s_f0.png)

I think it's a win-win situation. The kit should be roughly the same price as a spacebar kit, so for most it shouldn't be a huge difference getting this or the spacebar kit. At least this way split keyboard users would be more keen on getting one of these instead of just the spacebars.

I'd be extra keen if there's an extra 2u bar in the kits. The extra B and name adjustment work for me.

Most layouts with split spacebars are using 2.00 and 2.75 or 2.25 and 2.75 (that way you can use any decent GMK base kit to cover it) so I asume this is for a 40 percent layout, am I right?

The fact that it's not common is the reason that I haven't asked... but the symmetrical spacebar layout is becoming more popular it seems. No, mine isn't for a 40%, it's for a split Keyboard and the Clueboard.

Planck PCBs support double 2u spacebars as a standard layout as of the latest revision. (It has also been a thing on a few of the Chinese planck-like PCBs and probably a few split ortho boards, too, FWIW)

I'll probably tweak the kits in a similar way I did with Jamón. If you want to complain about them or have some feedback, now is probably the best time to do it.

I'm really liking the kit updates for Jamon and love that you are wrestling your vision for products and pricing into reality. Assuming from the Jamon update that you're taking all accents out of the core and into a separate kit to keep the core cost as low as possible:
I'd love to see a combined accent/novelty pack that's as afforable as possible. Judging by the $35 quoted on the Massdrop Nautilus Nightmares voting page, I imagine this will be quite difficult.
(As an aside and and slightly related - Without knowing cost yet, it may too expensive for me to pick up both Jamonelties and Pata Negra).
Here's what I would hope see in the kit:
Esc, Enter, and Arrow key accents (don't see the arrow cluster in the kits or renders - are they being left out? Also, keep the numpad accents in the numpad kit).
A mixture of Novelties. Ideally I'd like some 1.50 Code or Fn keys if they're not going to be in the core, but if this significantly increases the cost maybe it's better I make do with the non-specific icon novelties you've already shown.
In my case, I use a funny layout these days for my bottom row (alt, fn, fn, os). Novelties or just having key legends that don't match my particular usage scenario is probably preferable to an increase in price that would turn me away.
One last thought: Do you have interest in using Alt Gr legend?

I plan to have two novelty kits: one of them a small accent kit (with Escape, Enters, and arrows), and the other one the novelties. Disregard the $35 quote because that's a guesstimate for its pricing at 150 orders, not a real quote.
I also want to avoid making any "alternate layout" kit because those do not work that well with GMK and it's easier to offer a novelty kit.
Alt Gr looks fancy, but it should be included only if you have terciary legends, since this set doesn't have them I did not include it.

For the caps, worst case there's a R3 Code key in the base set, but that would also be nice to have in order to make this a fully compatible ortho kit too. I think those two keys are all that's missing to support those larger ortho boards. I guess those aren't 40s really but it could be a 40s/split/ortho kit!
Post by: snelltrail on Tue, 15 January 2019, 05:08:54
I'm also a fan of the larger spacebar kit that you currently have on the Nautilus Nightmares page, but I'm not overly attached to that and I could definitely believe that the price would be a good reason to shrink it for a majority of people. Would be nice to leave a blank R4 1.25 somewhere in either the 40s kit or the spacebars kit.
Other than that though, no complaints. I think you absolutely nailed the kits with Jamón. The flexibility and coverage is simply incredible and it sounds like the pricing will be too!
But the real question is: where is the Nautilus Nightmares matching Percebe? :p

I guess there's an R1 delete key in the base set, but I agree that it would be nice for the 40s kit to have a R1 Backspace to support 5-row ortho boards like the Preonic, Nyquist, Iris, etc.
For the caps, worst case there's a R3 Code key in the base set, but that would also be nice to have in order to make this a fully compatible ortho kit too. I think those two keys are all that's missing to support those larger ortho boards. I guess those aren't 40s really but it could be a 40s/split/ortho kit!
Not a fan of R1 Backspace for the Preonic, it kind of goes against the idea of not moving your hands out of the homerow.
I will think about the R3 Caps lock.
I'd like to see dark gray highlight keys in the 40s kit (similar to Jamón). I think you hinted that you would do this anyway.
I'm also a fan of the larger spacebar kit that you currently have on the Nautilus Nightmares page, but I'm not overly attached to that and I could definitely believe that the price would be a good reason to shrink it for a majority of people. Would be nice to leave a blank R4 1.25 somewhere in either the 40s kit or the spacebars kit.
Other than that though, no complaints. I think you absolutely nailed the kits with Jamón. The flexibility and coverage is simply incredible and it sounds like the pricing will be too!
But the real question is: where is the Nautilus Nightmares matching Percebe? :p
40s will be made more or less like Jamón, I have to think about it: is it really worth it to add all those keys or should we go a little bit cheaper? Right now we get two groups of people with just that kit since it has all the split spacebars and the second B, so maybe I should consider making it smaller. It will depend on how well the kit does with Jamón.
Regarding Percebe, preparing for Jamón, Verne, MT3 Serika, and my daily dose of procrastination postponed Percebe maybe a month or two, but we are back on track with that project. You should have news about it sooner or later. There's no rush for a Nautilus Nightmares edition of that board since this set won't drop until Q4 of this year.

I'm generally in favor of accessibility and function over form. Yes, having lots of accent options as a 40s user would be nice, but if it pushes up the price too high I'd rather leave them out of the kit -- they should be considered nonessential, and IMO you should ignore pressure to keep them in the kit if the price starts to get high.
That's what I usually do.

I will think about the R3 Caps lock.
As someone who exclusively uses the XD75 and is planning to get a BFO-9000 I would definitely want the R1 backspace in the 40s kit. This set offers some of the best ortho compatibility I've seen so I would be pretty disappointed if I had to use two 1u Delete keys like I am currently with GMK Monochrome. 1u Caps would definitely be appreciated though.

Wait did I miss something, what's this about MT3 Serika?! Just when I'd decided I wouldn't buy any more non-GMK sets...
On the topic of Nautilus Nightmares, I think that Jamón nailed the 40s kit so I'd be pretty happy to see the same kit for Nightmares. I could be on board with a smaller kit though, depending on how much of a price reduction we get. Also, I'm really hoping that we see the accent Esc and Enter survive in the core kit for Nightmares. I'm not a big novelty person but I love accent Esc and Enter. It's really hard to justify the full cost of the Jamonelties kit just for those two keys.

There are so many custom boards now that I almost feel like non-standard sized keys that pertain to specific boards should be put into a "Specialty Sizes" kit. This would keep costs down for the majority of users and provide you space in the base kit to include non-novelty accent keys that complete the colorway.

Yeah I did a double-take too and hunted around for more information but I haven't found any other references to it. I would love MT3 Serika, and probably replace my GMK set with it.
Man, if Nightmares is going to be running in Q4 2019 it won't be coming until like summer 2020. Oof.

I'm not a big novelty person but I love accent Esc and Enter. It's really hard to justify the full cost of the Jamonelties kit just for those two keys.
That's why Jamón's base kit is $100, so people can justify getting either a layout extension or a novelties kit. With Jamón I had to remove those keys from the base kit for two reasons: first, since we have two accents kits, it's more fair for those that prefer Pata Negra to not have those keys on the main set, and secondly because otherwise we wouldn't have a $99.99 at 500, or an $89.99 at 1000. The kit had to be as minimal as possible. Additionally, I had to combine Jamonelties and Bacon Invasion, so that increased the price of that kit a little bit.

That's what forties & split actually is. And with other profiles, such as MT3 it's exactly what I'm doing, having an exotic kit with those keys that aren't that common.

I like what you did with Jamón's base kit. I feel like, I have personally been hit with sticker shock lately at some of the prices of GMK sets. That was one reason I skilled Carbon. I wasn't paying 200+ dollar's to get a decent looking set. While Jamón isn't my cup of tea Nautilus nightmares looks AMAZING and is a set saving up to buy.
It's still a little bit early to say whether Jamón is doing good or not, but what I get for sure is a clear picture of what people want and that making a smaller Core has allowed many people to get a 40s kit, which is very important IMHO.

I will be updating the kits probably in September, or when Jamón ships. I've been thinking about adding some more keys to the ISO kit and support UK, German, and maybe Nordic and Spanish. A bigger kit (with a smaller Core) might give us a better picture of the exact demand for those keys and help with future sets.

- $100@500 Core
- Numpad
- 40s & Split / Extension kit
- A small international kit (no Alt Gr) with at least German and UK support
- Accent space bars
- 6U bars
- Probably 1 novelty kit
Some notes:
- Alternative typist (Colemak, Dvorak, Norman, Workman... the kit I have for MT3 Serika) will depend on how well the kit does with Oblivion.
- Not interested on having a multicore set.
- Not interested on having alternate alphas.
- Not interested on having add-on modifier packs.
- Will consider maybe making a specialist kit with macro keys (for that board Ion keyboards is designing and the VE.A), stepped control, 1.75U function, and other keys that are not really used very often.
- Not interested on 50 MOQ. If possible, interantional, and 6U spacebars should start at 100 MOQ.

This isn't nearly as popular as OblivionI get that, but I am hopefull that it will pick up more attention before it's time for GB! Nautilus was very popular, so the sibling set may do well also! Green may be a harder sell than blue though. Hoping for Kraken-like sea creature novelties and nightmarish deskmats.
I am in either way :thumb:

Missed it, unless it hasn't run already. There's a Leviathan one currently in GB, but wrong shade of green! In any case, keep up the good work!

Would you consider an enter key rama artisan ? I saw GMK Olive do this recently.
The original GMK Nautilus was my first custom keyset, and this is a must buy for me.
I dont know if RAMA has tooling for spacebars.. that would be dope !

@Zambumon - I am assuming that there might be some artisan collaborations with this ?

I'll definitely consider Rama keycaps, I think they have proven how to do a great job from start to finish and people are extremely happy with the results. As I said on my previous comment, I'm not really interested on the enter or (even if that was the case) a metal space bar, as I don't find them as practical and wouldn't use them on my board.

So... since the novelties kit isn't finished yet, what are the chances that we can get some giant squid looking keys? I think that would defiantly differentiate this set from the original nautilus a lot more. Still hyped though.
Yes, please! Deep sea creatures, tentacles and Kraken-esque imagery would be great. Like the Nightmare name suggests.

GMK NAUTILUS NIGHTMARES
"From a caprice of nature, not from the ignorance of man. Not a mistake has been made
in the working. But we cannot prevent equilibrium from producing its effects. We may brave
human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones."
– Captain Nemo, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Inspired by deep sea monsters and ocean calamities, GMK Nautilus Nightmares is a
continuation of the 2017 project featuring a brand new colorway and novelties.
Available for pre-order this December at Drop

Proposed kits
CORE
The Core Kit is the starting point for everyone. Composed by 136 keys, it provides basic
layout coverage for boards ranging from 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, 96-key, 1800, CP and Fullsize
layouts in both standard and winkeyless variants.
Some notable inclusions are the accent enter and escape, split backspace and stepped caps
lock keys.
(https://i.imgur.com/W8KGQK5.jpg)
FORTIES
The Forties kit provides extra layout coverage for many small form factor and ortholinear
keyboards, including Planck , Minorca, Sebright or Percebe. The kit includes small space
keys, and Enter and Escape accent keycaps.
(https://i.imgur.com/Dk3JvfC.jpg)
EXTENSION
This add-on kit extends Core’s layout support by providing multiple shift keys in 2.25,
2.00 and 1.00 units sizes for FC660-like and 60% keyboards with arrows, small space keys
and a second B for split and ergonomic keyboards such as the EM7, Alice or Lubrigante, and
extra layout coverage for 60%, 65% and 75% keyboards.
(https://i.imgur.com/vohegzr.jpg)
ISO
The ISO kit adds layout support for German and UK ISO keyboards.
(https://i.imgur.com/CTFZYC8.jpg)
Novelties
Featuring the Nautilus submarine, Kraken and Giant Waves, the novelties add will give you
the extra touch to take your keyboard even deeper under the stormy ocean.
(https://i.imgur.com/1Aw6PtG.jpg)
Space Keys
The space keys includes accent space keys from 1.00C to 7.00C for both standard, split,
and 40% keyboards. On top of that, this kit will extend your layout coverage by including
two 6.00C space bars so you can cover an HHKB or Cherry G80-1800 keyboards.

Interesting choice to do a ISO-DEUK kit. Is this based on any kind of numbers from previous GBs or such that DE and UK are the ISO subsets with the highest interest/buyers?Looks good to me, easier to meet the MOQ that way.

I'm a huge fan of Lovecraft and the nautilus set, but this is sadly way too expensive for someone living outside of US (Sweden in my case), the core + novelties + the very expensive and required ISO kit for most people in the EU would go for 300$ without counting in the shipping and handling costs. If only the ISO enter/shift combination would have been included in the core. We don't even get the "Å" letter in the ISO kit... :/
You realize this is on massdrop and has price drop points right?

I'm aware that it is on Drop, this is the reason for the high prices for other countries. And also the fact that they didn't add ISO support to the base set.
