Of note, if anyone wants mods with text, DSA Hana is the exact same purple (though it's WFK and not WA for the white).

Uhm hmmmm

I really like the approach to using numrow for numpad, but it doesn't really work like this. Adding the 2u 0 key is the right step, but there isn't a 2u enter key to make a full numpad, and people are forced to split the 2u + key. I think this works best for 3 row numpads, or even 4x4, but at that point you're including too many unnecessary keys.
1.5u spacebars is widely uncommon, especially not enough reason to nix 1.75u for them.
I really find no reason to have both a 1.25u fn key and a 1.25u shift key with DSA trashcons since they're essentially the same icon flipped vertically. This can go for a few of the 1u keys as well.
The menu key being on caps lock is really awkward. There are three different lock icons you could have picked from.
Be weary about using mono icons for backtick and quote, I just got back sets for Historic and they were aligned like this (https://i.imgur.com/enI6pLb.png) not being centered.

I wish this was fleshed out and took feedback before going to group buy. The colors are really cute and my lilac p3d corne needed something more permanent on it, so I might pick it up, but what I see is kitting that is extremely bloated and the price absolutely suffers from it being that really high moq.

I love the colors. I’d like to add that there isn’t a 1.25 tab key for 40’s. The 1.25 in the kit render is the incorrect legend.

i love this but would also like to have a numpad option (or included in base) just in case people wish to use it with a full size or a 1800

thanks for the feedback!
my original intent was to use the 1u enter as a numpad enter, but after asking around, i've decided to add the vertical numpad enter in
1.5u spacebars was originally intended to be used with corne-type keyboards, though most people have said that 1.75 are more useful so i've changed that
i actually never thought about flipping the fn key so i've removed the extra 1.25
the capslock menu key was a personal aesthetic choice, and i'm keeping it because i like it
i have brought up the backtick & quote with signature plastics, will try to keep centered vertically

1.25 tab was an oversight on my part and has been fixed, thanks

pricing has been temporarily removed to get kitting re-quoted - date stays the same unless pricing takes longer than expected
eu & sea vendors have also been added, mykeyboard.eu and dailyclack

Awesome! I think you did a great job rekitting this and I'm excited to see the new pricing. Totally makes sense about the aesthetic choice for caps lock as trashcons are pretty good for leaving the meaning of the icons to out interpretation. For the tick and quote it actually was a mistake on SP's part and they're replacing my sets keycaps, just a heads up. Doesn't hurt to ofc double check with them.

imo a second b on alice isn't necessary and you could you any of the other 1u keys for that slot, so i've left it out to not make the kit too large

If DSA Red Velvet makes the cut, would you consider the thicker DSA alpha legends? I know it's super late for that but I can't imagine anyone wouldn't want those tbh.

i like the rv legends but unfortunately changing the alpha molds to rely on a set that hasn't concluded yet isn't really a good idea
