Is this for sure or a suggestion? I would be very interested.

Just a suggestion. There are currently no plans to take this to SA, but that doesn't mean it wont ever happen. Any future runs of this set will be greatly influenced by the success of this buy.

Grail set would be Metropolis with yellow Hangul (Korean) sub legends.
Maybe next round?

I'd love to see more Hangul sub legends in general.

Small additional update has been made with the full list of Proxies (the addition of Daily Clack for those down under), as well as the kit pricing for each. Not much left to do kit wise, so the updates will be minimal until the GB.

A BIG thanks to everyone for all the support and love getting this set to where it is, and a HUGE thanks to Mike at NovelKeys for everything he's done.

I'll see you guys on the 25th! Feel free to reach out if you still have any questions :)

I think that's a fairly standard 60/65% layout thing? Probably a HHKB layout thing.

Ah, HHKB, makes sense. Not really standard on 60/65 though, which is why I didn't realize it. Thanks ;-)

Come to think of it, it's probably only "standard" on the HHKB-inspired 60/65%s  :))

If 1.25 space can still go in, I'd love to have 2u shift key in the main kit ;D

Btw OP, can kindly put the key sizes on the kit pictures? (for the non 1u like 1.25u, 1.5u, 1.75u, etc). Would be easier for a noob like me to see the dimension & possible combinations. Thanks.

Hello I am really in to this set, is there any EU vendors you can fix? There is plenty of them I would be glad if you asked them like mykeyboard.eu or candykeys. Also for the desk pads I hope you can fix EU vendor as well :D Looking forward to this.

Those renders are straight from GMK, so they are not easily manipulated, but i will see what i can do!

As of right now, the kits are locked and there will be no new keys added. If we manage to reach 500 MOQ on the base kit we will have the opportunity to put in a few extra keys, how many and which ones hasn't been determined yet.

Forgot to ask; the blocks (spacebar) set, I assume the R4 & R4c are concave, while the rest are convex?

Also, regarding the key size on the set images, I can help to do a quick overlay if you can PM me the key sizes.

Is there any harm in offering the 40s kit and cancelling it if there isn’t enough interest? I definitely understand not footing the bill for the unpurchased kits but think it should at least have a chance.

Not inherently. But because a 40's kit would require the commitment to a base kit as well, it can create a predicament. So for example, say the base kit makes MOQ to 260, but 40 of those are people who back out because the 40s kit didn't make it... it takes the base kit back below the MOQ threshold by 30 kits. Leaving those in the base thinking it was going to make it, and then having it not. This would mean either footing the bill for the difference in base kit, or footing the bill to get MOQ on the 40s kit, which might end up being around the same price. My guess is that this is what happened with the GMK DMG buy.

Transparently... by the numbers in the IC survey there is little chance of the 40s kit making it to full MOQ, so it really comes down to if there is enough interest in vendor/proxies/etc. buying the extras. Right now i am talking with a few people to see about the risk on this, and that will determine whether a 40's kit gets added.

Again, hopefully this helps give some context for those in the limbo. Doin what i can peeps.

The Assembly Base Kits that have been offered recently have solved this problem by grouping Ergodox and 40's users with their own base kit, so if it fails, the main base kit will still be supported. Check out the Assembly kit in Oblivion V2 for reference.

Edit: Never mind on the 40 bit kit, I just saw your previous post mentioning Space Cadet

To be fair, Space Cadet is not a great example because it split the market for a 40s kit by providing an Assembly kit for Ergo users and a 40s kit for Ortho users (if it had combined the kits into one, the market would have been closer to 170 (yes, I know some would balk at the higher price necessary when combining those kits, but if it was still lower than the base kit it might be worth it)).  Also the GMK DMG Pocket kit could even not cover a standard Planck layout with correct legends (it would need an R2 1u Tab, R3 1u Esc, and a second R4 1u Shift) and it could not cover a standard Preonic layout either (it would need an R1 1u Backspace).  So, if you were already faced with having mangled legends on an Ortho why not just go with the base kit and try to get coverage with just that.  I am not surprised at all that GMK DMG could not make MOQ.
