Edit: Might even be able to get Max's color scheme mixing Lunar and Supernova. Hmm... The blue might be too washed out though, hard to tell with the renders. May be not without some black keys 

Will the prices for each kit be more or less the same as the canvass XDA sets? I'd like to know how much i'm going to have to save for this

Damnit, in. In for at least Alphas, base, Tsangan, Calc, GodX, Milky Way and MiTonauts... just take my wallet, social security number, home address, birth certificate...

Why do 40s kits require the base kit also? Seems like the 40s kits are only short a couple of keys while the base kits have WAY more keys than the 40s could use.

Why do 40s kits require the base kit also?

Because a standalone 40s kit would require about 58~62 keycaps and 78% of these keycaps would be wasted when covering a 40% since the models considered to conceive such kit feature, on average, 14 modifier keycaps. With the current logic you'll be able to not only use the included keycaps much more efficiently, but you'll be in the same boat as Base Modifier customers - who normally order in big volumes. Big volumes translate in cheaper prices for everyone in the buy. The mini add-on inclusion is the cheaper route in this specific situation.

Seems like the 40s kits are only short a couple of keys while the base kits have WAY more keys than the 40s could use.

Only short a couple of keys if you consider a specific 40% layout. But bear in mind this kit is universal, aimed to cover peculiarities of each 40% keyboard. The current distribution is very efficient and will be considerably affordable.

i'm probably not understanding something but should there be a f5-f8 in the supernova colorway for the enceladus kit?

Down to go to Mars  Nice set! Kits are looking good, and I really like the Ergo Icons kit.

shut up and take all my monies. curse the day I found this hobby/sickness.

These look fantastic!

I love the SA Godspeed, and I'd be in for all of these dope Ergodox variations. The one thing I'd suggest is that aside from the "Launch" key in the SA set, there's not a lot that's particularly Spacy about the Ergodox mods. The Apollo/Ares Text Ergo already do a great job towards that, but if you could add a couple of 1.5u logo caps for the inside columns (so, meant to be put on vertically) that would be amazing! Maybe bring back the yellow launch key for Ergodox as well, and a 2u yellow Godspeed for Ergodox.

Great job on these, you'll be getting my monies whether you add any of these or not

Sweet lord MiTo, I somehow like all your kits.

+1 on the IC.

I am contemplating this kit for a future weird DIY keyboard design I am working on. If I am not mistaken, there is no MOQ on XDA due to dye sublimation? If that is the case maybe it could be possible to do a south-european kit?

Any pricing estimates at this point? Will the icon modifiers cost extra? Is pricing on a per-key basis?

Pricing should be on the same level as SA Carbon's more recent drop. Icon mods should be in the same price bracket as text mods. But given the popularity of the text mods on the original SA Godspeed drop, more than likely there will be more text mods made than icon mods

That sounds not right, this is a different manufacture. The last XDA GB`s has been on a lower pricepoint then SP`s SA sets. Maybe look into the last XDA drop. but properly a little more $ since this set has more color choices etc.

Wasn't the last drop MiTo's XDA Canvas ?
I went to see the price points on keyclack for jchan's  XDA GB and they were significantly cheaper than SP SA. It seems I am fake news *commits sepukku*

...last drop MiTo's XDA Canvas ?... ... significantly cheaper than SP SA.

Yes on Canvas, I posted the link once above: XDA Canvas on Massdrop

Not XDA, but MT3 /dev/tty is dye sub PBT in high profile, so it has some use n comparing child kit prices, though it likely wouldn't be as accurate as Canvas as an indicator of what to expect: MT3 /dev/tty

I am definitely in for both Apollo and Ares versions of all the kits.  The original Godspeed was what really got me interested in custom kits but I didn't like the SA profile.

However, this is exactly what I having been looking for!

Mito, Is there any chance you will release the Godspeed colorway in GMK in the future as well?

Argh! Give me a break!

It's too soon.  God damnit MiTo!
My wallet is still hurting from GMK Yuri! Damn you and your awesome keycaps.

Damn, way too soon. I'll pass in favor of Lazer.

Thankfully I don't really like Lazer.

MiTo, can you give approximate timing for GMK Laser? Because I won't be able to afford both XDA Godspeed and GMK Laser if they are close to each other in drop time – and I think several of us here are in similar situation… For me personally dropping cash at these would require serious spending planning if I would like to have both (and I would!).

This set is full of features but maybe a little late to start the IC when the kits is locked..

Kits aren't locked, I'm compiling a list of tweaks and changes based on the feedback that is being provided both here and the Massdrop Drop Tab. For example, people requested the Apollo Text Ergo vertical 2u keycap to be legended as LAUNCH instead of ENTER, and other tweaks are being implemented before the drop actually begins. Ortho 1u DEL + 1u SHIFT, UK in Supernova/Lunar schemes a red astronaut icon, convex spacebars, etc. I must ponder on what's doable and what's not, I'm always working behind the scenes. I'm paying very close attention to all threads and the great feedback our community have been providing lately, kinda hard to answer to every single post but I hope you understand. I encourage you to keep sharing your great ideas and other feedback (everyone, actually) because I listen (read) everything!

Is there any way to get some "XDA Tall" keycaps? I'm not sure they exist, but they'd be great for top row of the thumb cluster and lower inner 1.5x1u vertical keys on an ergodox. To make it easier to hit those keys with your thumb without accidentally pressing the keys below them as well.

Would love a mono number row!

Use the numpad keys? although it would mean buying two alpha kits if you want full size, so perhaps not ideal...


I guess actually you could take the numpad keys out of the alpha pack and put them in the calculus kit, then offer the mono num row as part of the mono kit, but that has its' own downside - maybe not so easy to get different accent colors?

Cool man, good to know! thanks. A NORDE kit in cadet blue would not hurt nobody and be able to add more kits to a overall set if you a sitting in the nordic part. Looking forward to pick a set up!
