I received my set today as well.  I laid out all of the keys so I can see if I'm missing any keys and I noticed some nice differences.

The R3 PgDn key was missing, but I don't need a 2nd R3 PgDn.  Good news is that I got a 2nd 2.25u shift if I ever get a FC660M.


I got 2x1.25u and 2x1u Super keys.  I rather use these than the diamond icons.


/ and * on the numpad got changed.


1.5u Fn key is now Function spelled out.


So far I love the set!

There was an update and reconfirmation of the keys. The extra R3 PgDn was redundant and was a mistake so that was removed. The extra Super keys were added really late but I thought it was a good idea as it allows for a full text bottom row which is preference for many. I'm glad you like the set!

I love all the choices you made! Thank you!

Hello there,

I finally received my set. I am really liking the colorway and quality of the set.

I wasn't saved from having a warped spacebar but will comment on my next request on the kbdfans site. I wasn't going to post anything here but when I double checked something that seemed wrong, I kinda had to.

I'm sorry about the photo quality, just took them with my phone.

Anybody else got a 'u' key with wrong row profile? )

Loved the set anyway 

My U is the correct profile. 

I just realised, after receiving my set, that the Colevrak kit is missing the = key for Dvorak. Is there any chance of a fix? I should've spotted this before ordering 

Is this the only key that Dvorak is missing? I'll talk to KBDfans about this but you may have to wait for R2 to be made for this key.

Yes, it's the only key that the Colevrak kit is missing. I'll certainly wait until R2 if the key wasn't produced.

Might have been mentioned already, but does R2 fix the spacebar warping?

I have added it to the design file and notified KBDfans so the replacements should be manufactured along with R2.

I have heard that it is better but to be honest, it is still not free of issues from what I've heard from people that were in the second batch.

My spacebars from the second batch were almost ok, but I had to straighten one of them with a hairdryer. No big deal.

Just lay it flat and blow it?

 

I've seen people rig up flattening "jigs" involving two rigid flat pieces (like rulers or similar) and use rubberbands to tension/tighten them as a clamp and then apply heat and let it cool inside the "jig". I'm not bold enough to just heat it up and caveman twist it back into shape freehand, but YMMV. It mainly depends on if the spacebar is warped just on the Y axis (up down) or if it's also on the Z-axis (front-back), so if you straighten it on the Y, it may result in (or stay) warped on the Z.

Just lay it flat and blow it?

Not just that, applying heat will increase the natural tendency of the plastic to warp even more.

I usually apply heat on the underside with a hairdryer for about... 10 seconds?, and then I flip it and then force the new shape by pressing it on both extremes over a flat surface (if you have an eye for manual works, you can do it just with your hands). Be careful with the sides and don't apply pressure on them if it's not needed, just be sure they are not warped too.
Then you can wait for it to harden or apply cold water over it.

If it's still warped, you can repeat this procedure again.


I've done this procedure with dozens of keys, and not just spacebars: Sometimes other keys like right shift, enter, numpad + and numpad enter also are slightly warped. For smaller keys you need to apply more force though.

Does any one who ordered the international kit have any missing keycaps? This one is missing for me:

Laid out my caps and realized I missed a lot of caps, before I realized I had them on my board... including the one you are missing.

So nope, not missing any key, at least not the ´` key.

Got the keys a week ago and I like them alot. I like the updates between 9009 and this set especially print screen and pause. Now all I need is text mods and windowed caps and scroll lock, both classic beige and BoW.
