pretty sweet! but why are all the iso enters black and the novelty seems to be another shade of blue?
they should def be mod colored imo.

Yeah, so, turns out, even though I put a decent number of hours into making this, it's still very broken, and there is a lot of refinement needed, I just thought that maybe I'd like to risk it and post an IC with what I have so far to gauge if this was really an idea worth pursuing, that being said, I had seen some previous "bad" ICs like GMK Holy Panda, and I did some more research, so, I am in no position to say that I am experienced in this field nor can I say that I can speak for every new designer, but I would like to say that Geek Hack, as it is, is one of the most dangerous and hostile places to showcase a design, albeit without it, keycap designing would not exist in the full volume that it does today, but I would seriously think about creating a way for "pre-IC" concepts to be posted on GH. I know that the mods and whoever manage this site have been plagued about this, but I just wanted to remind them, and I'm not telling you how to do your job, I just think that if GH were more concept friendly, this community could grow in an order of magnitude. As for the ISO, (the main point of this comment, haha) I will add a blue ISO enter as well, to both kits, I just personally really like the black ISO enter.

Ortho needs icon mods, they outsold ortho text in literally every KAT GB!  Would love to se the ortho mods black base as well!

All in all a very confusing IC, quit trying to reinvent the wheel and look at how other successful KAT sets are doing their kitting.

Thanks for feedback. I agree that board has an unforgettable design that would match space quite well (will need to put on sunglasses though :cool:)

This is beautiful!
Thanks! You are too!

All in all a very confusing IC, quit trying to reinvent the wheel and look at how other successful KAT sets are doing their kitting.
Ortho kit is currently this (https://i.imgur.com/G6J3lJq.png) which has icon mods [kindly ignored scuffed alignment and sizing consistency issues of legends].
We hear you about black base; that's ended up with lot more positive response than we thought... and now we have to take a good long hard look at what kits we keep, and/or tweak and what to throw out. Will honestly confess that the black base mods were added as an afterthought, as we were originally working with blue base mods as the core.
We will touch up our IC over the next few days, to make it a bit less confusing, and also cull a few of the unpopular options to make things a bit leaner.
We're not really reinventing the wheel. We used KAT refined's F-row split off idea, to split it from the standard mod kit.
We also made just a budget 60% only version of the mod variations (i.e. how KAT Cyberspace did a TKL-only kit - but he simplified by just making it one complete set with preset alphas).
All other kits are just standard based on KAT monochrome's kit structure.
However, we suffer from offering too many options at this stage given that we have both Alien and English alphas, multiple Mod legends options from Alien, Icon, Text, and two different Mod backgrounds (blue and black), and also sometimes offering mono-colours instead of gradient.
As we get further Gform feedback, we have a good idea of how to help slim things down, and potentially come up with executive decisions on what we will finally offer.

sounds good. else you would limit the ISO users to the black mods, which i seem to have overlooked before creating my post.

the multi-colored novelties are badass, if they're possible this way i can see this go through the roof!

i have been considering keyboards for a while but nothing really felt ME and it just didn't felt like a hobby I was meant to get into. UNTIL NOW! This is the coolest, most creative, and legit most original design I've seen ever. I LOVE Zeta Pup & Space Kat and I am SO EXCITED to support this, and I cannot wait for more details! <3

Yeah I'm actually struggling to put together a kit for just ONE keyboard, but I think I could easily build 4 keyboards and be happy with the options.

I love this set! I've been following your posts on Reddit and I'm excited to see it come this far!

I like how half of the comments in this thread are something like "this is great" and the other half are like "this is a mess." Polarizing set, I guess. I really like the alien alphas though, will definitely be picking up a set of those!

Gonna go straight in and say that my ideal kits probably detract from the overall idea for the set, I'm not really a fan of of any of the text mods - Would love to see Black Base with icons and a full set of Latin Rainbow Barf.

Hmm, that's strange, we do have ISO kits, could it be that you can't see them? They are located under the expansion.

Sure, oversight on our part, will be added to the kitting revamp coming soon, we have taken the advice from the previous IC form and made a bunch of changes, we will also be rolling out the north and south kits as well.

found this trolling geekhack looking for a good 75% keyboard to build. Was origionally going to replace my aging (getting tired of looking at it) GMK Deep Space caps with KAT mizu when it goes into group buy. Now I will wait for this....please hurry I need this in my life. Even the wife approves of them, space dog made her say yes,

« Reply #96 on: Sat, 12 September 2020, 12:10:05 »
Hello! Sorry that progress updates have been slow, I have a habit of not liking to release things until I have a substantial amount of work done, I don't like releasing small updates, but don't worry, I'm not dead, and neither is the set. There have been a lot of new ideas that we have been working with, some ideas that we have had to cut, and a lot of thinking involved in regards to novelty kitting. That being said, I thought that I'd release a semi-major update: full-sized mods have been updated, Lazer mods are gone, and now all variants have a black version, only the black mods have the continuation of the gradient, doing it with the blue mods creates legibility issues. We also have a few new novelties to leak, so stay posted for those, or, you can join the discord server for early leaks. https://discord.gg/kYqCFJB

Thanks!
