I do not believe that GMK has this mold, and we are unwilling to pay for the mold to keep the cost of the set lower.

I suspect this has already been caught, but the scooped F and J keys in the JS base kit don't have sublegends.

Shame that R1 `~ー didn't make it in. But at least that 半角/全角 mold is getting made, which is good.

Other changes are on point. GG hiney & krelbit

No that's totally understandable, JIS is a fairly obscure use case. Just thought it'd be nice to pair it with the width conversion key for completion's sake. There's still physical compat for it, so it's all good :thumb:

It would be nice if you could make the red accents available as a stand alone for the base kit. I am not a weeb but like the colors..

With the GB start date shifted to next week, will the GB run past September 14th? Running a few days longer might be helpful for those who are paid bi-monthly.

Hello guy, I would like to ask what is original function of 1U "red keycap with 2 lines of JP letters" next to grey Esc in JS Base set? Is it a "JP Esc" key or something completely different? Google Translator translated as: "Half size/Full width". Thanks for explanation.

It is not an Esc key. JIS keyboards use this key for toggling between half-width and full-width characters, as well as toggling IME input on and off (the function labeled Kanji). You can find more information about this particular key here.

That being said, nothing's stopping you from using this key as an Esc novelty if you want to :)
