It baffles me that only 2x R3 relegendables are in that kit, so I'd need two of them for a 4x6 macropad.

Nope, I'm out.

Will the fragile stems in the spacebars be an issue since they are ABS?

Will the fragile stems in the spacebars be an issue since they are ABS?

Unfortunately, this comes with the territory. It's either fragile stems or spacebars that don't fit. I highly recommend being extra cautious when removing the ABS keys. Particularly with the spacebars, I suggest removing the Alt keys on either side of them first, then pulling up on each end evenly and simultaneously. In general however, it's good to be more cautious when removing Alps keycaps, as the stems are inherently less durable than the MX design.

All vendors are now live. GB thread will be up shortly, after which I'll be locking this thread. Please continue any further discussion there.

ABS fragility comes from doubleshotting, the spacebars are single shot as they're one colour. I wouldnt worry about it.

FWIW, I've mounted an unmounted yuri several times without damaging a keycap, i think this fragility is overblown if you're using them with SKCM switches, I believe matias stems are much tighter so I could well believe they'll break when pulling from matias.

It's great to see the GB live...congrats!

I'm also happy to see the changes you made to the legends on the shift keys - it looks so much better without the arrow icon.

Time to start buying...
