Not bad, I think the 1.5u mods should be the same color as the 1.25u mods; might flow better

I think you've gotten your colours mixed up on the 40s kit. As far as I can see the shift row should be blue and the mod row green. However in the 40s kits some shifts are green and some mods are blue.
You might want to look at some recent gradient sets (mw gelato and epbt kavala for example) for which keys belong to which row.

I think a F13 key and full UK ISO support should be included as it won't add much to the cost.

Title: Re: [IC]KBM Fairy
Post by: Fraaaan on Sun, 17 April 2022, 08:16:46

Pretty healthy base kit size. Putting size labels in the spacebar kit would be great, kinda hard to eyeball spacebars. Replace the 1u Backspace with an F13 and you're good to go. There's a 1u Backspace in the 40s kit anyways.

Never heard of KBM so it would be great if we could see some prototypes.

Title: Re: [IC]KBM Fairy
Post by: itsazly on Sun, 17 April 2022, 09:04:52

Super cute and most likely in! Also asking for F13.

Could we get some info on KBM as a manu? I don't think I've really heard of them.

Hi! As a creator of a mod-gradient myself, I like this! However, there are points for improvement.

Base kit:
-make all spacebars alpha colored.
-remove mod ansi enter, replace 2nd iso enter with R2 purple
-remove alpha arrows, add R5 light blue up arrow
-Remove R4 tilde and <>
-add R5 light blue 1u Fn

40s:
-please come to the 40s server for feedback, as this kit needs a LOT of changes.

Spacebars
-please label spacebar sizes

Novs:
-see feedback above on alpha colored enters
-Also, please replace all kit render backgrounds with something simple so it's easier to see the colors

Regarding the removal of r4 <>, I think OP is trying to cover both terminal ISO as well as UK ISO so it makes sense kitting-wise. We have seen this on sets like DCS 9009 before. I agree that r4 tilde isn't necessary, not even sure what layout that is for, I assume it's a regional thing.

Hi Fraan! AFAIK supporting terminal in base is unnecessary if UK ISO is already in base. However it's really just a single 1u in a dyesub set so in the grand scheme of things it's nbd.

I'd say their quality is pretty good and they have a very decent turnaround time!

Hi, seeing this a second time, this is a clear improvement. I like the colors and am definitely interested. Good job :thumb:

I have a few more recommendations I hope you consider :D

Base kit
-numpad kit 2nd - should be =
-Iso support still feels a little overkill, but not a big deal if the pricing's still good
-You added R5 color up arrow which was great, but missing R5 color 1u fn. You don't need 3 1u ctrl keys really, so you can just make one of them fn and cover that with no added keys.

Novs
-adding a 1.25u R5 would be great to cover some bottom row layouts
-I'm not entirely sure what layout you're attempting to create with the R3 purple ansi enter, could we see a render of that?

The R3 purple enter can be used as an accent! As for your other suggestion, I'll take note of them and adjust the renders!

Thank you very much!

Yes, but you have a mod gradient, so I am not sure how it will look like. Could we see a render of that layout used?

Great colours and kitting, I don't think i've seen better kitting from a base kit before.

One small thing that's missing: R1 [§±] for UK Mac ISO support; I can see you already have R3 [\|] and R4 [`~] for UK Mac ISO.

I actually wish there was more pink accents on the kit, feel sad only the top row have this color !
But depending on how my wallet feels at the time this comes out, I definitely want to support the set and see how KBM keycaps feel and sound.
Love the forest deskmat too 💜
