Are you guys planning any artisans for this? A matching Rama Wave keycap would be amazing.

I see what you're saying. If you search for the set name on their site, the price in euros comes up for each of the kits

536c is being used on the Core kit. What we see here is the Deep Water Edition.

I think they’re 1 1 2 3 4
because the backspace sized key is the second row and the enters in the 4th, and the 40s size scuttle splits them.

Yo! Oldcat just rendered a piece of art =)

Any chance to have a 533C accent/modifier kit for a uniform look with the 3258C? I love the contrast between the 3258C and 533C! It just illuminates the whole board.

There's no actual keycaps yet, so that'd be hard to say now.

Runner, please consider replacing the second pair of 1u Ctrl and Alt keys, which aren't commonly used, with the far more useful R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn keys needed by 65%/75% users. In fact, two 1u Ctrl keys aren't used by any modern layouts outside of 40% boards, and two 1u Alts are only useful if there are two 1.5u Code keys as well, which there aren't in this set.

As it stands, the set is missing a R4 1.25u Fn key, which a lot of people need for 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL etc. boards. Consider changing Menu, a less frequently used key, to Fn. This shouldn't be an issue, as Fn is a versatile legend that can also work as a menu key, whereas the opposite isn't really the case. In fact, this is exactly what most sets do: they include Fn in their base kits instead of Menu.

Finally, since your set is using single-line Scroll and Num keys, please consider replacing the stepped Caps↲Lock legend with Caps, for a consistent single-line look across the board.

Based on previous experience with GMK, none of the above changes should affect existing quotes, as they are legend-only changes. If you still haven't received final quotes, though, you may want to consider dropping the numpad 00 and some of the extra ISO keys to help keep the cost of the base kit down.

What he said.  I've been watching this one for a long time, but I'm probably going to pass without R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up, it's very appreciated!

We're looking at adding the additional PgUp/Dn keys now. I wasn't aware to the extent that newer sets were including these in base kits nowadays, but we agree.

As for the other points, I don't think we're going to make any additional changes with those legends. I take your points, but I think largely these things come down to a matter of opinion and I want to avoid making non-essential changes this late in the process.

Hey there! We're actually working on our own custom metal artisans for Hammerhead. An R1 novelty with the shark tooth icon is planned, but unfortunately probably no enter key this time around  :blank:
