Dont like the fact that you need to buy two kits to get red alert look
Why racing?Well, to be blunt it rolls off the tongue and all the simple names i wanted were used. I know typing races are a thing soooooo I put two and two together. Sorry if its not a triple layered explanation.

Set looks great. Just wanted to mention that in Korea (and some other countries too I believe), writing someone’s name in red means they have passed away or that you wish them harm, so many ppl avoid writing in red. Not sure how that would translate to keycap legends though.

Not sure how that would translate to keycap legends though.I quickly searched "Korean Writing" and "Hangul" in google images and a handful of them used red font color (so I assume it's not a big deal when its random words or just the individual characters). I believe the superstition only applies to names, not really sure about letters or the individual characters.
Can confirm for Chinese cultureAlso... I too am Chinese (half) and I'm pretty sure this superstition is only for names.
F13 plz?ok I already have some changes to make so f13 will be added
I will try to do more research regarding this and ask around to gather some opinions. Thank you both for bringing it to my attention!Set looks great.

I hope you end up keeping the red sub legends. They are sick asfI will try to do more research regarding this and ask around to gather some opinions.

HARD.
IM a sucker for red sets and this is way too clean to pass up. Cleaner than GMK red alert ngl
HARD.I am totally boring so I do like the plain base but agree this is more interesting.

mm - doesn't cut it for me, extra alphas are interesting but every other kit feels kinda bloated and the set itself looks too similar to raPossibly so that people can pick up the 40s kit and extra alphas and skip the base? The kits do feel bloated -- good call.

Just saying GMK Red alert was going after the look of the OG Red alert, which is not something this replicates. Not a fair comparison TBH.
Lots of sets with "extra alpha/alt alpha" kits have extra tabs, its generally for filling up 2 boards when bought along side the base kit, since most base kits come with 2-3 enters, 2 caplocks, 2-3 esc keys, a handful of shift keys, and support for standard and tsangan bottom row.mm - doesn't cut it for me, extra alphas are interesting but every other kit feels kinda bloated and the set itself looks too similar to raPossibly so that people can pick up the 40s kit and extra alphas and skip the base?

Big fan of the Extra Alpha kit - this is the star of the show. Never seen one with a Tab before ... :|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This does looks incredibly similar to / inspired by Red Alert. The kitting here needs some work - the accent kit here is big.
Possibly consider:
• Moving the windowed Esc keys to 1 accent kit and with the rest of the non red keys
• Have all of the red keys included in a second kit. The Esc key in the base will have the red colorway covered
• There are a total of 9 Esc keys in your kitting. Most i've ever seen in any IC - consider cutting some?
• Consider removing "- A simple colorway set" from your IC. Racing stripes are fancy.
If the Alphas kit was around 18$ it would be an easy pickup for me.

Kitting update bumpsince there's already a 40s accent kit, shouldn't the small enters on the "regular" accent kit be removed?
I have listed that in the possible kitting changes listKitting update bumpsince there's already a 40s accent kit, shouldn't the small enters on the "regular" accent kit be removed?

edit: thumbs up for the f13 on base tho.
Also forgive my ignorance here, but what was the reason for adding another 2.25 u shift?
updated it, and the extra 2.25 is for 661 I believe.

also just realized that there are 2 images for the Latin alpha kit.
YesYes
I love windowed keys but the windowed Num Lock is missing. Would it be possible to get one of them in either the Accents kit or the Numpad kit?I will go add this now will update tomorrow
Any chance of you adding x2 R1 1.5u Super/Code keys to the base kit to cover HHKB layout (1u Alt / 1.5u Code / 7u Spacebar / 1.5u Code / 1u Alt) please?
sorry, missed this the first time will addAny chance of you adding x2 R1 1.5u Super/Code keys to the base kit to cover HHKB layout (1u Alt / 1.5u Code / 7u Spacebar / 1.5u Code / 1u Alt) please?
Nothing on this, Swishy?
sorry, missed this the first time will add
oh great catch I had completely forgotten split backspace as its inferior will add now./ssorry, missed this the first time will add
No worries! Thanks for adding this : )
If I may also add, there seems to be missing a red 1u pipe key for split backspace in the accent kit.
Please allow us minorities to «struggle» with localized kits. For some it's the necessary, and sufficient here, condition to enter the GB and buy a bunch of kits.Agree. Norde kits are popular for epbt sets because of no moq. They do boost sales. I got example only buy in if they are available

I like the red alpha in 40's accent kit, but I wish the red alpha can be included in the alternative alpha kit.(https://i.imgur.com/63bElSY.jpg) tested this a long ago, I have to say I dont think people will like this.

I think I refer to row 3 red alpha offered in the 40's kit.so you want a red Q row... like specifically...I am gonna have to think really hard on this one.I like the red alpha in 40's accent kit, but I wish the red alpha can be included in the alternative alpha kit.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/63bElSY.jpg)tested this a long ago, I have to say I dont think people will like this.
I would appreciate UK ISO added to the base kit, failing that a separate kit would also work. The colourway of your set is beautiful and I would really like to be able to use it on a daily driver ISO board.Currently doesnt seem to be the case. I don’t see many people asking for iso out of the majority. There are about 10 and within that 10, 3 different iso systems requested. What I am currently thinking of doing is running an extension run later, because as of right now, to cover for the main color way it wouldn’t be so hard, but then I would have to make sure to cover for all different colors for alphas minus mono hangul. Which I was thinking about doing these past two nights, but there are 3 alpha variations and about 42 keys (using yorkchan’s approach) which is 126 keys. I am not opposed to doing that route, but it would just be complicated given the limits I really want to follow.
I think you're missing F13 on accent kit.hadnt update the kit yet,
Swishy you are amazing for this affordable enabling of my torrid love affair with beige.May the price be ever in your favor!!!
So is there two 1.25 tabs in the 40s kit for real? If so this just became extra amazing.everything you see is quoted for

So now I'm definitely in for two alphas. This is a supremely well kitted set.
Sorry to come back to this, but as it does not figure in the OP did you end up adding the red 1u pipe key to the accent kit (split backspace)?good catch will add now pricing won’t change though

Come back to check this thread. With so many Alpha kits, it would be great if we could have all mod kit. So we don't have to buy 3-4 base kits if we want to use different alpha.not a bad idea but I dont wanna do that then basically lie to the ISO people although I believe that kit would be more worth it. But small tip if you buy the base, 40s kits, spacebars, accent, and what ever alphas you want you can pretty much cover 2-3 boards, meaning you should need to buy 3-4 base kits. All those kits come out to be 165+ 25A < 90B

A= alphas kits assuming you dont buy over 4 alpha kits
B= base kit in your case you said 3-4
So for you, you were either willing to pay 270 or 360 plus the cost of the alphas kits, which you can get all 4 alphas can still cover 4 boards and use all the different alphas if you go my route and save 5 dollars because it would at max getting all the alphas cost 265

Sound like a plan, thanks for the head up!
Great set. Any chance of an Oceanic vendor?yes, there will be one Customkbd.com.au
Oh beauty, love their stuff!glad to hear
Thanks Swishy.
So no red 1u \ accent key???updating the images as we speak got busy with school
I understand that this is probably already late, but it is not possible to add F Macro keys to the Accent Kit (like you have on 40's accent kit)?unfortunately it is too late might be able to add post, will ask KBDFans

Set looks really good so far! Will the choice between L9 and CP be made prior to the groupbuy ending? Rooting for L9 and will 100% be onboard if it gets confirmed :thumb:its confirmed L9
