Thanks for adding the Stepped Cap key and GH key tot he base set.
I'm sure they will be red on white correct?

In order to get a white on red do we still have to buy the Tsangan set?

I also vote for Option A for the ISO kit. I don't mind paying a few dollars extra to have a matching color JRET.

Also, what would everyone think about including a center stemmed stepped caps lock in the modifier kits?

Is the GH key included in the base set going to be red on white? Just like the one from the recent GB? If so, that is fine, but can we get a color matching GH key in the modifier kits, as well?

Seems like everyone who has replied so far wants Option A. I'll give it the rest of today for people to weigh in, but its looking like we'll go with that or put it to a poll if necessary.

I suppose that's up to everyone else, but the modifier kit is pretty spendy already. As there are many people who have ordered it already, its going to take more than a couple of people stating they want that for it to get changed.

Melissa never did get back to me on whether it would be more expensive to invert the colors, so I'm not 100% yet, but as the recent GH GB was red on white I'm going to try and do it inverted. At the moment it is red on white, yes.

Yes the keys with the base set are at the moment, all red on white. They are no longer in the Tsangan set. If anything they belong in the modifier sets, since many are only buying the Tsangan kit for compatibility, not to get special keys.

If the forum wants me to add a stepped caps and/or esc key to the modifier sets, expect about a $2 increase in price to those kits as well. Since they're pretty expensive already I'm disinclined to do that but again, I am at the will of the forum. With the exception of the last the poll results, I do actually listen to you guys. :P

Right that was my point, I wish there was an option to buy the base set with red modifiers INSTEAD of white ones. If i'm never going to put the white modifiers on my board, I'd rather not pay for them.


tl;dr the rest of the thread.

But what about those who don't want the white on red modifiers? Logically thinking. Base set would be a... Base set? something to start off on, the red on white. Its then up to YOU the buyer to decide if you want to expand on this  base kit.

That just seems more logical to me.

Unless anyone objects, I'm just going to add these to the Tsangan kit. Its meant for compatibility in the first place, and there are a bunch of people on here with choc minis.

Basically you want:

1 1x Win key added

1 1x Fn key added

Correct? If you guys would rather replace the star keys with windows keys speak up, because that's what it was supposed to be in the first place.

That isn't the question. Demik was just saying that he likes the diamonds in the Tsangan kit more than the star keys. The question is whether you want a Windows symbol instead of a star this time around. Honestly even though I hate windows, I think the windows symbol looks better.

If you would rather me just add the 2 keys and you get both stars and 1 windows key, that's my original suggestion. I don't want to remove anything from an existing set once orders have been taken, so its either change the legend of an unpopular key or add new keys.

You can just use a novelty key on your Poker or whatever. Japanese flag, Triforce, Jolly Roger, Poker suit, etc. I just use a standard Alt key, as I know where the Fn key is.

Its been 3 days, normally I only have them open for 2 weeks to begin with, so we've basically got a head start. I'm thinking it just needs to keep being bumped to the top, the group buy section is really active atm. Also I have another 12 PMs sitting in my inbox waiting to be put in. If it was over 100 right now, I'd be expecting it to be well over 300 by the time we're done.

Also I'm working on getting someone to post it over on OTD/KBD because I can't write in Korean. Promoting it over there is likely to give us a bunch more orders.
