Would you consider adding a vertical F-row, which would emulate the layout of C64 and fit on boards like J-01 ?
(this would mean additional rows for F3-F10)

keyboardkrill · « **Reply #101 on:** Thu, 03 September 2020, 14:37:02 »

Considering all the quality control issues with other key set manufacturers as of late, this has the potential to be one of the best key sets this year! great work! However is too much to ask for a standard base kit, ( ie alpha's and mods together at least)?

+1 for that.

I think the spacebars kit for ergo layout is missing a 1u key and an extra B. Possible to add it in?

Because of the particularity of the alpha area, I still think it is better to separate, but TKL will be adjusted, please pay attention to my updates.

Will there be an Australian vendor? Dailyclack has run CRP sets multiple times now, I'd think they'd be a great choice.

This set on the newly announced U80-A in soya (off-white) would be a thing of beauty.

That is a neat idea if only RAMA would consider making an ISO board for once.

Super interested, was wondering if this'll be available through deskhero though? I really wanted to cop the BBOX ABS pink plastic but it was only through KBDFANS

. Sorry if its been posted already, still trying to get used to the thread layout

Maybe this is a silly idea, but have you considered for the case to add a simple placeholder with mx-stems so you can display the keys in case, without having to deck it out to a full board. I wouldn't use a board in that size, but it would like nice for display.

There will be many updates in the near future, and maybe a group will start soon.

I would love if there's another set of colors for the modifiers, particularly a darker shade, like this perhaps https://en.zfrontier.com/collections/groupbuy/products/gmk-beta?variant=32568037408846 or this https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102259.0

Ah this is awesome! I've been waiting for Signature Plastics to Rerun SA Retro Petscii, this may fill that itch in the time being. Would you consider doing a darker scale similar to what is on the original grey beige Commodore 64? Possibly a set without coloured Petscii logos?

Either way, I'm monitoring this and very excited for updates!

Wait, maybe I'm stupid (or young) but is this a keeb or a capset or both? I really like the set, it's simple, offwhite, little splashes of color, retro feel. me likey very much.

I have to say that "Assemble: Youself" really made me laugh so thanks for that

I dig this. The font is weird and quirky, but definitely has a vintage feel to it. Honestly, something not too outlandish but different than SP/GMK/ePBT fonts is refreshing.

paperassgasket · « **Reply #129 on:** Tue, 13 October 2020, 17:43:09 »

I love the inspiration behind the set, and the execution of the design is spot on.
I even appreciate that it's a completely dissimilar profile than the original C64 keycaps.

What I don't understand is the kitting. I'm not familiar with how CRP MOQ works so I can't really give any suggestions as to how to improve it without understanding the goal, myself.
2 sets of Alphas separate from a TKL kit seems fine I suppose. It's a good way to cover a popular format.

The Modifiers + TKL kit together is where I get confused. It seems like there's a ton of overlap and you're going to double up on a lot of keys just to get support for a 65% or non-standard 60% / HHKB / Tsangan layout. Meanwhile, there's an entirely separate kit of MAC mods?

Again I don't know anything about CRP MOQ so I don't really know how to better kit this offhand especially since I don't know how you are trying to achieve this or what the limitations are, so sorry I can't be more helpful at the moment.

Also, no 40's it makes me sad, but I'm glad to see a 2u and 1.75u in the modifiers kit at least.

I don't know about CRP/Hammer kitting details, but it appears to me that the Modifiers kits is essentially what is included in a typical GMK base kit outside of this set's TKL kit.

I'm guessing the idea is that standard TKL/75%/60% users can get away with TKL + Alphas, which should be at a lower price point than a comparable GMK-equivalent CRP kit. Not entirely sure though; the CRP sets I've been able to find prices for don't have comparable kitting.

The GB page shows it's gonna be available on Drop, but I already see it being advertised on Monstargear.
Only Monstargear it says it will be compatible with the DZ60, which would be awesome.
Can't wait to pick this up.

GeekLevelAsian · « **Reply #142 on:** Fri, 13 November 2020, 09:10:23 »

Ended up buying it on Monstargear since I didn't see it drop...on Drop.

paperassgasket · « **Reply #143 on:** Sun, 15 November 2020, 19:50:42 »

So... does Drop know that they're a vendor for this? Because it still isn't up on their site.
