New kits are pretty great! I’m very happy to see the accent Esc and Enter included with the core.

Also really pleased to see the 40s kit is still alive! I’m completely fine with the reduced splitbar support compared to Jamón’s 40s kit. My only complaint would be I’d still like to see the regular color Esc and Enter in the 40s kit as well as the accented ones (so something in between this and Jamón’s 40s kit). Pretty small complaint though and I would happily purchase the kit as is :thumb:

That's something I want to discuss with those interested on the kit. The impact of those keys could be from $5 to $8 or $9, which might not be so good for lower MOQs.

I'm totally fine with this. I like the accents  ;D

Could we get a Jamon x Striker combo render? Perhaps striker alphas with Jamon mods? Giving me a Man in the High Castle vibe. Same could be said of bento alphas with Jamon mods maybe? Curious if anyone thought about these combos or how they would turn out!

Was thinking about alternating Jamon & Striker 40's kits with Mondrian blanks for alphas on a white case

This set is a tribute to the Japanese National Football Team, a team that had a brief, yet fantastic participation in the 2018 FIFA World Cup,
displaying a great level of football. The Japanese squad almost made it to quarter-finals, but sadly lost against Belgium in the very last
minute of the extra time.

Really like the colors! Did you happen to change the colors since the new renders? They seem to be not as vibrant.

@Zambumon.

I know you have done tons of analysis on this (interest and cost and so so much debate) but does the hard objective participation numbers in Jamon ensure there will be a 40%/Split kit (the pictured kit) on future buys? I feel like this kit on Jamon is the best cost compromise for OLKB, Split, and 40% (*triggered ergodox/boardwalk users lol*). Some missing 1x blanks and a missing modifier color '" has been my only thing I have been critical of with previous kits (not just yours)--but it is what it is and luckily that is not a problem on Striker :D I know, I know, yet another comment about this to you.

I like the original Cherry modifiers with the symbol and text. I'm not a fan of text-only enter or shifts.
