It begins to lose Dolch there, imo.
Not to mention I'd be a bit concerned about contrast.

Neato, although for some reason I'm not huge on the fact that the modifiers are CR.

Maybe I should rename it to BDolch :'(

Any plans for an alphas kit matching the mod color, or vise versa?
Not at the moment no, I don’t see the need for it as we have WoB
And this is running all stock colors so it’s fairly cheap as it is, would like to keep it that way

Let me know your thoughts in the thread, I'm still not sure of using CC one of the accent kits and am thinking maybe a burgundy red would look good instead.
Be sure to voice your thoughts here.

Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
Just realized I missed your questions here,
I won't be running with ePBT as that would require almost all of the keys to be done with reverse dyesub and I don't feel that confident in that process yet
and I will not be going with JTK as the quality of the keycaps themselves don't quite feel or sound as good as GMK.
In regarding to kits though, I will be doing the base kit without numpad so that will bring the cost down. The demographic of people who like this style of set don't usually put it on a 1800/96key board from what I have seen before.
Regardless I'll leave that the kit option to the masses once I get back to this project.
For right now please voice out your opinion on kits on the G Form.

I'm alright with the quality of it, except there's not a lot of compatibility with the kits and no option to add keys/make new molds for keys they do not have.
Also the general consensus I've heard from people is that they do not like eABS

Edit: looks like I forgot to mention that part oops. The accents will be blue and red of a dark variant serparately to try and keep base moq low due to stock colors

Looks like it will match. Sky Modo is TU2 legends on CR mods and N9 Alphas. I'll definitely pick up this set. Very versatile. I'm sure there are even more interesting mixes to be found as well.
Here's my photo of Sky Modo:

Edited here to make the cyan legends gray:
[attachimg=2]
And here is a photo I took of N9(from Q:01) alphas and CR(from WoB) mods with white legends.

Edited here to make the white legends gray. The gray legends of (B)olch will look quit nice, I think.

Also shows how different those colors look depending on the light. ;D

The gray legends might be lighter since I changed it to 2B, GR9 might be a bit darker so I updated it to tackle the contrast challenge. Thanks for those "edits" as well. Good for those who want to see what i may look like irl.

That bit could've just not been updated from 2019, and besides this forum has been endlessly whinging about most actual EU vendors for months now so they're probably an attractive option. At least ProtoTypist is reliable (and to the EU you won't pay import fees other than the sales tax you'd pay if you bought from any other). The only difference is around 10 Euro more in shipping. I've had stuff sent from PT to European friends and it wasn't difficult nor did it have hidden fees.

Since the accents will be a separate kit I’d like to second the 2B accent suggestion, and maybe those could even be included in base?
