Can you please add a 6.25u bar to the 40s kit also?

I really enjoyed watching this set develop!

Some points for improvement:
-vertically center caps and shift in 40s
-consider accented 1.75u enter in 40s
-board renders could use improvements, especially with lighting

Overall I think this is a great start to an IC and I'm sure this set will be successful, best of luck!  :thumb:

Thanks! I'll definitely be working on my board renders and I'll have a look at those points with the 40s.

In NorDe, the following keys are currently missing; add them:
  • R1 1u 2"@
  • R1 1u 3#£
  • R3 1u \|
  • R4 1u <> w/o sublegend
  • (optional) R4 1u , numpad key
(reference) (http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/Possible-International-Kits-for-Custom-Sets/#NORDEUKPPP)

Just noticed this — the R4 1u ;: key in the NorDeUk kit has an incorrect legend; it should be ,;.

Super interesting IC. Unconventional kitting that I'm sure will make the 40% fans pretty happy.

Curious to see how those novelties end up -- that's a lot of fine detail on one 1.25u cap

Yap international kit could be a good ideia, put a "ç" and its ready for ISO Portuguese, and a "ñ" for ISO Spanish.  :cool:

Many European layouts need it and this key is mislabled on this frequently used template :) Still haven't found a layout that actually uses R4 ; :

Who do you plan to use to manufacture this keyboard? What material are you going to have it made out of? What keycap profile are you going to use?

I love the color scheme and want a set for myself. I am hoping that this set is made out of PBT and uses the cherry or OEM profile for the switches.

Just noticed, the base kit has a 1.50 shift labeled and no 1.75 shift. Im guessing this is just an overlook or typo. Looks like a great set and very well may be my first MW set.
