Man, July and August are loaded with sets. I need to be smart about this or I will end up being homeless. :-\ :p

Definitely in for Bento R2 though. :thumb:

If you end up doing any more renders can you do some with bento in a navy case? I'm curious if they go together well. Also I'm super pumped for this set.

why would you depend on renders... this set exists and biip isn't changing the colours. Many combinations (including navy) have been photographed by countless users.

this for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/e8i8l6/satisfaction_75_w_gmk_bento/

So in for the deskmats!

Would buy some sets if NorDe was included but It would probably be hard to incorporate them. No grudges lol

100% getting the base and salmon. I wish there is a red 6.25 space included without buying  the chopstick pack. I just need one red space bar. I am sure I am not the minority here.

Not going to lie, I’d love the option of a mod coloured space bar in the base kit, but realistically Biip would have to put two space bars to keep compatibility and that would mean having four total space bars in the base kit, which is pretty far from the norm.

Or put it in salmon pack. I have little use of the rest of 9 keys from Chopstick cuz I will be getting Salmon.  I do agree the base kit is already as generous as they come.

It’s a tough one, if you put a space in the salmon pack, you’d again realistically have to put both a 6.25u and a 7u for compatibility and if you do that it largely renders the space bar kit redundant, unless you specifically need a 1U blank or use split bars. At that point that would make those bits more suitable to go in the Sakana kit, which messes all that balance up. Then you’ve got the fact that adding space bars to the salmon kit makes it more expensive than the seafood kit, which is awkward.

Honestly, while there’s always things that would be nicer to have, I think Biip has done the best they can for compatibility :)

Amazing set and I'm very glad that you're doing a rerun. Will the supply of the cables be unlimited, and what price points will the artisan keys have? Will they all be in a bundle or individual?
Sorry if this has been addressed but I couldn't find the information.  :)

Only wish there as a size good enough for my desk, which would be 700x400 or anything under that.  :-[

I’m curious how shipping is to you from ZFrontier or DailyClack (not sure where ZF is in China to know if it’s closer for you than DailyClack).

Vendors being spaced out as US/EU/Canada/Asia/Oceana is pretty standard and should cover most people. I mean, we’ve only got CandyKeys in Germany covering the whole of Europe, for example.

Thanks, guys.

I know zF and DailyClack ship to Japan, but I thought it would be nice if we could buy from Japanese proxies like Yushakobo, for example, since it's a Japanese bento.
