(https://i.imgur.com/abAdgWg.png)Will you be getting color samples before the GB? PBT will be noticeably more muted that ABS.
Icon 40's?
Looks great, Ill definitely be in for a number of kits. Any chance for an extra B somewhere for Alice layouts? Either the alphas or spacebars kit maybe? I guess there are blank 1u keys in the spacebars kit as a fallback, but a proper B would be nice.
This would also be the first time you would have icons only modifiers for the set - I really hope you like those!
Would really love to see some more bold-sided alpha legends. This looks great as is but thin legends have always been kind of a turn-off to me.

I'll echo this. Not Cyberspace bold, but def. a little bit thicker than the renders show.
- Icon mods looks really inconsistent. If you want to offer icon mods at least make then look the same. That shift icon looks weird and the diamond icon looks so big. I think you should make the icons like other KAT sets, look at KAT WoB for example
Actually, the new HFO GMK run on Oco is Icon Mods.
Please add another b in spacekit;)
Something I've always liked about many of the other Hyperfuse sets (SA, DSA and JTK) was that the Purple and Teal accent keys came in the base kit. While it's nice to see so many different accent keys, why are these split in to different kits?
Others might not agree, but I'd rather see one accent kit with both colours even if the amount of keys is cut down. Buying a Purple and Teal accent kit looks like it will result in a lot of unused keys.

I agree. Thin font ldoes not look good. Something as thick as SA legends usually are would be good enough I think.
A few things I notice
- Icon mods looks really inconsistent. If you want to offer icon mods at least make then look the same. That shift icon looks weird and the diamond icon looks so big. I think you should make the icons like other KAT sets, look at KAT WoB for example
- Same with the text, there is something really weird. Maybe it needs to be bolder or something, idk. Also, I dont thing that type of font match with KAT sets, yet all the KAT and SA keysets have it. A custom text would be better imo. This is a legendary keyset, it should need more love
- Ortho/40s. I think you should add icons to them too
- Accents icons shouldnt have text keys. At the end it is an icon set, right?
I think the icons in the kit pics are not to scale, since there are sizing inconsistencies, as you mentioned (also with the different arrows, for example). The renders ought to be more accurate.
Would appreciate the addition of a 2u shift.
Hello everyone!Appreciate the changes!
I hope everyone is doing fine and had an amazing saturday :) Thank you for the incredible feedback I've been getting both here and on Discord, here are the answers to most/all comments here:Actually, the new HFO GMK run on Oco is Icon Mods.
My bad on this - when you click on the link on Oco (https://www.originativeco.com/products/hyperfuse-origins?_pos=2&_sid=fe9f06c70&_ss=r), it shows a pics with both icon and text modifiers ^^Please add another b in spacekit;)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/VSIAfRA.png)Something I've always liked about many of the other Hyperfuse sets (SA, DSA and JTK) was that the Purple and Teal accent keys came in the base kit.

Unfortunately this is unlikely to change - the beauty of KAT is that there is no MOQ per kit as long as the general MOQ is hit so I will not merge both kits or include them in the core modifiers kit. My goal is to keep it as flexible as possible and as cheap as possible for a majority of people - yes, if you want both accent kits you'll end up with unused keys, but is likely to be the case with any potential solutions. What I will do, however, is remove the "hyper" and "fuse" keys to put them in the novelties kits once those are done which would lower even further the price of the accent kits and the potential number of unused keys for those getting the accent kits :)Would really love to see some more bold-sided alpha legends.

Thin font ldoes not look good. Something as thick as SA legends usually are would be good enough I think.
I discussed this with Manzel who did the render and it turns out that the font used on those renders is .5mm thick instead of the .6mm used by keyreative for KAT Alpha. I want to make clear that the end result will match KAT Alpha/Oasis/Eternal/Atlantis, etc. as they all use .6mm so the font will indeed be a little thicker than on these renders :)A few things I notice

I will go point by point:
1/ Did you mean inconsistent base off of the kit images? If so, that's totally my fault as I did those on photoshop, my bad - I'll make sure to redo them on illustrator so they look better and more consistent and I'll definitely look into the icons again to streamline everything (size, thickness, etc.) If you mean inconsistent in term of the icon itself, shift was made to match caps lock and caps lock was made like this because I wanted a more modern version of what the key does, it is essentially a locked shift (the little bar under the triangle is reused for scroll lock and for num lock). The SYS key (diamond key) can be resized to make it smaller - I did not think it was too big, but I can see what can be done. As a matter of fact, on the 19x render, it is smaller and more in line with the other icons, it's really my kit picture that makes it look bigger.
1.1/ I made something different than other sets on purpose, I wanted this to be my take on it and hopefully improve a couple of those keys based off of my personal taste and what I have seen from other members online.
2/ I myself really like the font used, it will be a little thicker of course, but I really like it - not sure if you're implying (with the "it should need more love" line) that I quickly through this together and called it a day, but it's not the case - I love hyperfuse and that is not something I want to do lightly.
3/ I already mentioned above that I was going to look into a 40s icon kit and I'll add that I'll definitely look into an ortho icon kit as well :)
4/ I said it above, these keys will be moved to the novelties kits when those are ready. That said, I don't agree with you - I don't force icons on anyone, that is why there is a text modifiers kit. This is a set in which you can either get text or icons and is in no way an "icon set" :)I think the icons in the kit pics are not to scale, since there are sizing inconsistencies, as you mentioned (also with the different arrows, for example).

I agree. Thin font ldoes not look good. Something as thick as SA legends usually are would be good enough I think.
I gotta wonder why going with an "international" kit, given this set is to be run in the KAT profile, and seems to be mixing what other sets have had as "North" and "South" kits. I've also noticed a few mistakes in this kit and others; what's the exact list of national layouts that is meant to be supported?.
I also noticed the international kit is the same as the one in KAT Iron, down to the same errors. Same flawed source, surely.
I would also like to see separate icons kits for Ortho and 40s. Also, would it be possible to get some accent caps in the ortho kit or have some 1u enter caps in the accent kits?
Great update! Did you order samples already?
The only thing I could say about the kits is that I think a QWRTY row "Ctrl" key in the Ortho kit seems a bit useless, I've never seen someone use that key. You could save the environment and produce less plastic by dropping that key ;) , or you could replace it with something more useful like Fn for the ASDF row or Hyper for the bottom row or something like that.
Nice update, thanks!
The updated alphas seems to have a broken link, though (https://i.imgur.com/JH0f2NV.png)

It was present in the first version of the kit and I forgot it here, it will be added.

... you absolutely need to add the (alpha-colored) R4 \| keycap in the South kit, as it's required for the Italian and Portuguese (Portugal) layouts.
I'll check the "international" kits later, but I don't expect any errors to show up there.

I assume adding that key back to the alpha kit negates your comment here, but please let me know if I'm wrong :)

Uuuuh... it's the other way around (and make sure to ask Brits if they actually want it!)
Personally, I don't see a problem with supporting ANSI Enter with split backspace for traditionally ISO layouts. Why not keep that key?
so wait....is the GB over?Nope, hasn't started and will not start very soon. First they'll receive and review samples, finalize kits, announce prices and announce a GB date, and I think none of that happened yet, so the GB is weeks or months away still.

Correct for the most part except that vendors have been announced (Originative, Mykeyboard and zFrontier) :-) for the rest Im still working on a special alpha kit and on novelties and waiting on zfrontier to get the samples we sent so they could colormatch :-)
Ill try to have the last kits up today/tomorrow :-)
Thanks for the support guys! Keep the feedback going, Ill post a form with the next update so Im sure not to miss anything :-)
Well, I'm kinda mixed on these new kits; by that, I feel it's a complete deviation of the og keyset's origination, the "hyperfuse" nike sneaker. Now, my next question is are all these kits going to lead to a major price increase come GB time?

Howdy everyone!Thanks for the space kits, but they seem massive and would be very expensive I assume. Maybe you could have one with teal and purple with 4 bars 6.25/7u for standard users?
I'm sorry for the delay, I know I promised these for the weekend but I've had a couple of unforeseen personal matters to take care of. With that said, here is the latest update for KAT HFO!
changelog:
- New Alpha kit
- New Novelty kit
- Updated Accent kits
- New spacebar kits

One of the biggest addition to this update is the "Ancients" alphas, called like that in homage of the ancient race of the Stargate universe (SG1, SGA, SGU).
I decided to use the glyphs from the Destiny Spaceship as they represent abstract mathematical symbols and decided to apply them to each letter according to their order of appearance (1st symbol -> A, 2nd -> B, etc.)

I'm sorry for the delay, I know I promised these for the weekend but I've had a couple of unforeseen personal matters to take care of. With that said, here is the latest update for KAT HFO!
changelog:
- New Alpha kit
- New Novelty kit
- Updated Accent kits
- New spacebar kits

One of the biggest addition to this update is the "Ancients" alphas, called like that in homage of the ancient race of the Stargate universe (SG1, SGA, SGU).
I decided to use the glyphs from the Destiny Spaceship as they represent abstract mathematical symbols and decided to apply them to each letter according to their order of appearance (1st symbol -> A, 2nd -> B, etc.)

Howdy everyone!If I just want teal and purple spacebars of 6.25 and 7u I am potentially paying 40-45$ for bars according to your quote. :(

I dont understand the Stargate connection. And I really dislike the novelties kit is full of Stargate themed keys that Id have to buy to get the Hyper & Fuse keys.
Mate you are the best!I dont understand the Stargate connection. And I really dislike the novelties kit is full of Stargate themed keys that Id have to buy to get the Hyper & Fuse keys.
Stargate is the idea/universe I decided to visit when thinking about space travel/hyperdrive technology - I wanted something different from Star Wars and Star Treck which we already had in the community.
Lucky for you, you won't have to get the novelty kit to get the "hyper" and "fuse" keys :)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/Urtg4yo.png)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/w0GO4U0.png)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/KyCG6Yw.png)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/48VPVNt.png)

Okey, this accent kit seems better. Like someone said, if you want the Hyper Fuse keys or the spacebars you had to buy a whole kit for just 1 or 2 keys/spacebars. I prefer this one. The HyperFuse keys are not novelties but at least it have the original scheme for the mods
I assume the spacebars are 6.25u and 7u, right?

Reduce the amount of kitsDo you know why Mcnos removed a bunch of kits (arrows kit, extra F row kit, south kit) for KAT Arctic shorty before the GB?
I am not 100% sure I understand that comment, but a bunch of people have commented saying that. One thing you need to understand is that more kits doesn't make each kit more expensive. In fact, this should make your purchase less expensive since you can get exactly what you need and not be "punished" with superficial keys. it allows for more flexibility and I really like having different kits like I do (sorry vendors :()
Move ISO Enter to ISO kits
For this answer, I am going to assume this is referring to the accented keys that are now in the accent kit. I will keep the accented ISO keys in the accent kits for two reasons:
* more flexibility - you get to buy the accent kit you want, text or icon, purple or teal, and you only get what you need, no 4th, 5th, ..., ISO key that you don't know what to do with; and
* by removing the accent keys from the kits themselves, my goal was to get the kits smaller (see point 1) but also to lower the price.
I don't know a lot about the origins of the Hyper Fuse set. I own every HF set run so far. OG, HfO, Redux, SA, and DSA. This set looks attractive to me, for sure. But I wish the novelties somehow furthered whatever Hyper Fuse theme was there to begin with. I'm not a big Star Gate fan. I've honestly only ever seen the movie 1 time, and I've never watched the series (even though Sci-Fi is my favorite genre)
Is there no way to tap into something unique to Hyper Fuse? Is there a back story at all?
My 2 cents on the novelties kit, for almost all sets' novelty kits for that matter...why no numpad enter for us 96%/1800/Full size folks?I don't know a lot about the origins of the Hyper Fuse set.

This is probably as "furthering" as I could have gone from the initial "theme" of the keyset - the name was taken after a pair of sneakers made by Nike, the colors were put together by Bunny. My interpretation of "hyperfuse" was something futuristic - not much further away from sneakers (even if you take into account Nike Mag).
If you have any idea on what you would like to see on novelties, feel free to reach out - I've had another comment say in the feedback form that these were boring and that person wanted to see better novelties - now I know that Novelties are not for everyone and that they are always polarizing, but these will probably stay as is unless I make a complete new novelty key (to replace this one) which I am not sure I will be able to do :)

Okay, I haven't been following sets super intently for very long, but I have obviously known about HFO for a long time...
But this is the first I've noticed Stargate novelties! Are those new for the KAT set? I might have to buy just for those.
I'm still debating buying some of the Oasis extras from Kono before they're out...
Maybe you could consider changing the font to be like GMK's+1 that would be really nice!
It looks so much better on KAT profile. like this https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=106725.0

Any idea on the Gb and fulfillmeent dates?
Any chance of getting desk hero added for Canadians?Any idea on the Gb and fulfillmeent dates?
I'm mostly waiting for the samples and the final quote from keyreative, but... I've asked vendors to get ready for a GB on July 1st ;)
We are in talks with Keyreative at the moment and they agreed on actively providing replacements
misaligned legends, damaged keys, tinted keys: def a QC issue and they will be providing replacements upon individual reports and work on better QC.
For those that do not follow Monochrom/Oasis, I wanted to share it here as well:Thanks for the update. Milkshake issues were definitely concerning.
I just got an email from Alex @zFrontier about the issues with Milkshake. The email is quite lenghty with a bunch of pictures and screenshots with conversations with Biip.
Long story short, here is a quote from the mail:QuoteWe are in talks with Keyreative at the moment and they agreed on actively providing replacements

I explained I didn't want the same issues on Oasis/HFO/Monochrome and I do believe they will work harder on the QC (as they should, this could easily kill the profile if nothing is done).
Those that want to see the entire email can ping me on Discord with their email and I can forward it to you.
Have a wonderful day guys!

I don't really know what's "popular" but I would have found scooped homing for Colevrak nice to have.
I was thinking I'd personally end up using the ancient alphas anyways with their scooped homing, so it isn't really a big deal.
is there a discord or a place where people using Colevrak hide in the shadows? :Dhttps://www.colemak.com has forums and a Discord.

For me, I've seen it comes up often enough around software developers as a tangent topic but I haven't followed the community closely.

Thanks for bringing it up, that's definitely something I will look into for KAT Monochrome - is there a discord or a place where people using Colevrak hide in the shadows? :D
Nicely done. Looking to invest in a set that can handle 65% and 75% layouts (Alphas, Icon mods and accents). Presuming Alphas contain 6.25u spacebar. Is ti correct that the Modifier Icons have 7u?
Thanks
Yeah, I think this will end up being the set I own in the Hyperfuse colours. :) Usually I'm a sucker for non-latin alphas, but the Ancient Alphas as designed just aren't doing it for me... IMHO, they are too visually homogeneous, and look a bit uninteresting in the renders. I also don't know Stargate lore very well either, so I googled for the Ancient language, and I was surprised to find that in fact there is already a set of alphas that map directly to latin characters, which I'm surprised weren't used: https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Ancient_language (https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Ancient_language). These seem like they could have been given a treatment to look nicer, and been more in line with the lore. 🤷♂️
