Added Colemak, Dvorak kits and updated a few of the current kits.

Dayum it's awesome. Hope this will be a reality as soon as possible. 10/10 for color selection.

Abandoned??

beamingrobot · « **Reply #53 on:** Mon, 03 July 2017, 10:28:42 »

Waiting on the vendor, hopefully there will be news soon

I live for the day we get Japanese characters on a set that fits on an actual Japanese board.

That was my consideration until I realised that most people want it on an ANSI/ISO board

and I don't think a JIS kit will do well unfortunately

Didn't go through the entire thread but I saw it was mentioned once regarding the 5 ESC keys in the 40s key, there are quite a bunch of keys that need to be killed off since this is a DSA set with uniform profile.

- I would add 1u |\ to both of the alpha kits and remove it from any of the other kits (Compat, ISO, 40s). in Compat and 40s there are currently two of them anyways so thats odd? Or was it ment to be black and white?
- Add a white Return key to the ISO kit so you got both colorways covered, also what is the 1u ENTER for?
- There are 3x red META keys in Compat, need only 2
- Remove all copies of INS/HOME/PAGE UP/DEL/END/PAGE DOWN from Compat and 40s kit, since this is DSA the ones from TKL will do just fine
- The thumb cluser on Ergodox has one too many 1u blue keys (the ones above the red 2U keys)
- I think DSA actually has a 6u spacebar? Could be useful for HHKB peeps
- 40s kit seems more like a Planck kit, there is quite a lot of stuff missing for 40% keebs, check out the kit for it on Carbon R2 drop
- Homing keys for japanese Alphas?
- 1.75u blue BACKSPACE to act as COLEMAK support. Maybe as part of TKL kit? Otherwise Compat kit, but thats a tad much for someone to buy for just one key

GL with the set!

Thanks for your valuable feedback @Oblotzky! Unfortunately the files are with the vendor, so I'll forward your suggestions and see how it goes, glad to have had your help!

Ah damn, sorry for being so late to the party. Is it going to be a GB? If so, I guess fixes can still be made as long as the GB didn't launch yet. The vendor was not yet announced right?

beamingrobot · « **Reply #59 on:** Tue, 04 July 2017, 10:15:25 »

Yeap GB has not launched, gotta wait for other things to be ready, I've forwarded your suggestions

Awww man I was looking for a BoW dsa set and I can not believe I missed this! Im sooo hoping I have cash when this pushes through!

nice keycaps, is that 2.25 size shift in Compatibility Kit?

PotatoTM · « **Reply #63 on:** Thu, 06 July 2017, 15:57:28 »

Not the keyset for me but NMDs are my grails so I'd definitely be in for the stickers

Any new for these kits?

beamingrobot · « **Reply #67 on:** Mon, 17 July 2017, 20:57:21 »

I'm still waiting on the vendor, apologies for the long wait but it is really out of my hands and dependent on their schedule. I'll continue to request for updates, hopefully we can run it soon.

switchnollie · « **Reply #68 on:** Tue, 18 July 2017, 02:29:57 »

Will probably pick up a JP alphas kit

flyingalbatross1 · « **Reply #69 on:** Tue, 18 July 2017, 15:21:06 »

Standard enter is red but ISO enter is black. Could you make the colourways match more consistently? Red ISO enter, cheers

Smashing

Loving this colourway. I don't like the look of the SA profile so I'm up to try DSA, and don't like most of the plain 'dolch' stuff floating around. Probably going to be in for this and XDA godspeed!

What's the time scale like?

ChitownM2 · « **Reply #72 on:** Sat, 22 July 2017, 14:22:22 »

Really like this colorway, but I hope I hope we can cut down on the duplicate keys and the reorganization Luke oblotzky suggested. That should help lower the cost of the kits.

beamingrobot · « **Reply #73 on:** Tue, 25 July 2017, 02:11:11 »

Set is put on hold, possibly cancelled at this moment since I've not received any comms from the vendor for about a month. Will update OP if I decide to continue and ****.

heliar_mk · « **Reply #74 on:** Thu, 27 July 2017, 00:55:58 »

Don't give up with these kits,please

OfTheWild · « **Reply #75 on:** Thu, 27 July 2017, 17:26:57 »

I'm really hoping this comes to fruition. This kit needs to be on me.. i mean i want it.. this.

beamingrobot · « **Reply #76 on:** Sun, 13 August 2017, 11:48:02 »

14 August 2017:
I have streamlined the set to just 2 kits. As of now, it is highly likely I will have to run the GB instead. I will leave the kits up for a bit for any feedback, and will get back after a new quote is given by SP.

Kits not included will probably be dropped.

OP updated.

ullr · « **Reply #77 on:** Sun, 13 August 2017, 14:47:11 »

The JP kit is perfect, except that it is missing a 1u ‘む’ key (necessary for doing ISO/JIS). Other than that it looks great.

pixelpusher · « **Reply #78 on:** Sun, 13 August 2017, 20:16:38 »

Could you add optional blue "| /" and "~" keys for symmetry?

beamingrobot · « **Reply #79 on:** Mon, 14 August 2017, 02:28:04 »

14 August 2017

Updated some keys, some additional keys will not be added, sorry

OP will be updated with the correct images in a few hours.

Base Kit:

Add Ons Kit:

Files sent to SP, awaiting new quote. All keys are doubleshot ABS, with the exception of the JP alphas which will be dye subbed PBT for obvious financial reasons

I'm looking at the proverbial calendar and am trying to see where I can fit in the GB so that we won't lose all our monies with so many other great sets coming up. If you like DSA, do consider chipping in your support in the midst of the SA and GMK onslaught

ullr · « **Reply #80 on:** Mon, 14 August 2017, 06:48:57 »

Perfect, have you given much thought to the font for the kana set?

beamingrobot · « **Reply #81 on:** Mon, 14 August 2017, 07:57:59 »

We will likely have the same font as DSA Otaku, unless you have some suggestions?

If the addon kit is dyesub pbt then whats the colour code for it? you only mentioned the abs white being WA

hhkbp2 · « **Reply #83 on:** Sat, 19 August 2017, 07:48:19 »

Do we have Dvorak kit support? Maybe an Extra-Homing kit?

beamingrobot · « **Reply #84 on:** Tue, 22 August 2017, 11:19:05 »

Final Update before SP's new quote:

Base:

Addon:

We're targeting a MOQ of 100 for the base, and 50 for the addon kit. Anything lower would mean a cancellation of the buy, more info to come soon on that.

I've linked a Google form where you can include your email and comments so that I can notify you once this goes live, just in case you're someone who doesn't check as much, and with the amount of GBs coming up, this will be one way to keep you guys informed.

GSF on WAN. I'm pushing for doubleshot ABS for the novelties. I'll update the rest of the colour codes on the main page

On where exactly, if you don't mind my asking? I haven't gotten the email yet it seems.

Found it - https://monokei.us/

beamingrobot · « **Reply #88 on:** Wed, 30 August 2017, 23:25:56 »

Yea sorry I've been wrangling with shopify's support so I've not had time to update GH. GB thread is awaiting approval, as of now the kits are:

Base: $144
Addons: $75

I know many of us are expecting something cheaper, unfortunately SP's prices are slightly high as well. Hopefully we'll meet the MOQ

Oh, KeyForge will be releasing a Orochi and Shishi pair as well which will be raffled separately for two lucky winners

Production for DSA is booked till mid OCT from SP's last email. Hopefully we can fit in and have the set with us before Christmas, but I'm not holding my breath. I've been quoted an estimated 6 weeks for production but I foresee it going up to 8

Nice to know the prices are lower than what they are earlier listed on monokei.us. The timeline seems good to me. It's better to add these timeline info into monokei.us.
