We didn't really feel the need to go full duck theme, hence the term mildly. Thanks for your feedback!

I like it a lot.  Hope you will push for those cherry legends and not the default SP ones.  I like the default ones, but cherry looks more fitting here. It looks a lot like something Omnitype would run.  Speaking of, did you think about contacting them for fullfillment?  DCS Red Alert went super fast and was an overall great GB

sentiment shared-- would you be able to do 1.75 backspace, 1.25 tab, and 1.5 enter? would open your market up to 40s users by a lot  :)

I fw the colors, kitting is nice (only checked for F13 and B lul), GLWIC

will probably post again once more kits come out.

I don't have a big issue with a numpad/iso kit in all honesty, a lot of people freak out when they see it but when you have something like DCS you might need it to keep costs down

1.) Thanks!
2.) We currently aren't thinking about more kits unless we get LOTS of demand for it (simply makes no sense)
3.) DCS is reasonably priced, so I hope that numpad/iso won't be too big of a deal.

Feels like it lacks yellow and orange.
Not saying this base kit's color is bad, but i'd wanna see sth more quacky. more yellow. more ducky. maybe another base kit/alt mods kit to offer?

Are the smaller spacebars going to be concave? Because SP does not do convex spacebars under 6.25.

Also, please specify if you are going with PBT or ABS

Yeah sorry, we will try to fix that in the fixed renders. We will do ABS. Thanks for the note.

I think having them in basekit might be best, we might need to add more though. Thanks!

When I first read that, I thought you meant an actual rubber keycap LOL. But I like that idea! Thanks.

We have the duck novelties in base, unless you mean something else?

I was wondering this too. If you go to the IC form, they have the normal mod colored enter on the TKL layout. Wonder why they have two duck enters in the post though..

For the base kit, it looks like there's an R3 1.25 tab, R3 1.75 enter, and R2 1.75 backspace for 40s compat. If the goal was to fit a minivan, that R3 enter will actually need to be a 1.5 and the control/caps can be used for physical support on 40s with an R3 1.75 spot for enter. Could just be the render but just wanted to make sure that was documented

Shared sentiment here. Once you remove the accents it loses anything that it has to do with ducks. And as you might have guessed, I like ducks, so I would rather not have a set like this usurp the name.

It seems like the people behind it want to stick to the colourway though, which at this point I would just suggest getting rid of the novelties (not like it would hurt, there are only 2 in there, would also save time with working on new ones) and calling the set something else; for example "shelled cephalopod".

Anyway, just my 2 cents, have a good day.
