Hey, I'm loving the colors and kits after the update. I also think the tribal deskmat looks really nice. Those patterns remind me of traditional Serbian embroidery (although ours never had anything to do with elephants
). I have some suggestions for a few of the kits, which I hope you'll take into consideration.
A few things I noticed about the icons kit:
- If you're going to support 1.5u Super (♢) keys for Mac and OG-style HHKB bottom rows, there should be two 1u Alt (⎇) keys as well (currently there's only one).
- The Super (♢) icons look at a tad too large to me.
- The Raise (⥣) / Lower (⥥) icons look a tad too large and too thick. Try making them the same relative size as the PgUp/PgDn icons.
- It would be nice to see R2 PgUp (⭻), R1 PgDn (⭽) icons, but I understand if you decide not to include these as the kit is already decently sized. In that case, what you could do instead is add a single R2 Raise (⥣) key, which, together with a R1 Lower (⥥) key, could stand in for R2 PgUp, R1 PgDn.
Also, the base kit:
- Consider changing R1 1.25u Menu to Fn. 1.25u Fn is very commonly used on 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL and full-size keyboards. If you make this change, you can remove the 1.25u Fn key from the Nomad kit. However, if you really want to keep Menu, please add Fn alongside it for those of us who need it (although I don't think this is necessary because Fn is a versatile legend that can also work as a Menu key).
- Consider using <> instead of \| for the R1 ISO key in the base kit. This will help avoid a duplicate legend that some ISO users have been complaining about.
Finally, the spacebar kit:
- Are the 6u spacebars centered stem or off-centered stem?
- 1.75u space isn't used on any keyboards outside of the following 40% boards: Vortex Core (×1), JD40/45 (×2). For that reason I don't think it's worth including a 1.75u accent space key in the spacebar kit.
- You might want to include an alpha-colored 1.25u space key either in the spacebar kit or the Nomad kit for Alice users who prefer to use the 2u+1.25u left space configuration, as well as for users who like to split 6.25u spacebars as 2.25u+1.25u+2.75u and want to use alpha-colored keys to do it.
