I do like a stepped control. That'd be a shame to cut for me anyway.
Could the Supers and Alt be moved to the base kit to enable some more space in that kit? Seems to be quite popular to sit in base at the moment.
With the novelties, I'd take note to try to keep some resemblance of an XT column set in there somehow that isn't full of duplicates so that it does some double duty.

I also like stepped control. Perhaps it could be re-included if others also want it. I'll probably try and get an initial quote without it to see where the cost of the add-on kit is at first.
I'm a bit wary of the base kit price (as I've already included 4-key 40s, alice bars, accent keys for arrow and numpad enter), so will prefer to keep the supers and alt separate for now.
Both initial novelty kits included enough compatibility for double column XT coverage, however that was perhaps too ambitious.
I've scrapped the Joker hats, but I'm wondering if it's worth keeping the sword on R1 backspace and/or the 1u Club suit on R3
I've since updated the post with new kit images with keycap size labels.
Here's v2 of the Add-on, Art Deco and Casino Royale kits.
Art Deco Noveltyv1 of this kit: More
Casino Royale Noveltyv1 of this kit: MoreThis included novelties for the Backspace, Joker hat(s), and more suits/crowns
Add-Ons Kit
v1 of this kit: MoreThis included stepped Ctrl icon key, and R3 up arrow keys
WarlordGorguts:
Nooo, please return the XT row for Art Deco.
Maybe move some novelties from one row to other to form an XT column?
Renegade1912:
I hope the mac command keys can come back :(

I'm in discussion with a potential NA vendor on adjusting the kitting and getting a quote from GMK soon. I'm committed at this stage to offer both novelty kits.
Current line-up of vendors from other regions include zFrontier (CN), Deskhero (CA), Prototypist (UK), ktechs.store (SG).
Once the lead vendor from NA is confirmed, I'll finalise other regions such as EU and OCE.
To make costs a little bit more reasonable, the following are some proposed culls to the following kits:

I've placed examples of the new Joker hat in the top right corner so you can see what it would look like following a revision, however I'm considering if it's better to just cull to reduce the kit's cost.

I'm open to feedback if you'd like to retain a certain key, but I've tried to keep the essence of the novelties for the most common layouts where possible.
Due to the number of child kits, the media kit might not make the cut.
I'm also considering reducing the number of spacebars in the gold accent spacebars if it's a little too expensive.
At the moment, I'm aiming for a late Jan to early February group-buy date.

removing coverage for macro columns really sucks and makes me not want to buy at all
you've left the poker set a single r3 1u key away from XT coverage.
> Both initial novelty kits included enough compatibility for double column XT coverage
so you've gotten rid of it for both? what is the price difference we are talking about? are we ruining both sets to save 10 bucks?
linearscringe:
I'd really like to see double XT coverage returned to the art deco kit which was what got me committed to this set. perhaps some of the 7 unique r1 novs or the 1.25u novs could be cut instead as I've noticed that people building TKLs with GMK have a slight preference for 7u bottom. or maybe we don't need alice bars in the base since they're also in 2 other kits, so that could maybe make up for a pricier art deco, or maybe it could just be a little more expensive. It's unfortunate that it's the NA vendor making you remove these keys because as an NA customer I'd rather pay an arm and a leg to order it from zFrontier than get it without the macro support
