Nice. In.

Even for a non-profit run? Didn't they specify in the past that their IP is free to use for all hobbyists and content creators that just want to make **** for the audience? How would this not apply? Riot is really ****ing up on this one.

BTW, I would kill for region-specific keysets. Like a Freljord, Ionian or Piltover set. *hint hint*

Yeah I'm really sad about it My current profile pic is one of the novelties I wanted to use but no big, just went with a different aesthetic. Would rather have a cool CW than risk the Riot legal hammer.

HMMM those are really good ideas 👀

Might want to clarify what rows everything will be, hard to tell where the novelties can fit.

Planning on doing that when I get renders done of the kits, everything will be laid out much more explicitly when things get more final

[MdotMaxson]

I love you for making Ergo support port. And I support using blanks. Olive juice.

You could regroup UK and Intl kits, we ISO users wont mind and it will help reach the MOQ

While I wouldn't mind this so much, I have seen other ISO users of the mindset of "why should I buy a whole kit when I just need 4 keys". Having a separate UK kit allows those people to buy a smaller "basic ISO" kit, and may actually increase sales.

[Minterly]

I've definitely considered this and am leaning on the side of keeping those two separate to support more flexibility with just getting UK. MOQ requirements are not looking too terrible but it's something on my mind. Good to know that there are ISO users out there who don't mind supporting each other!

Bless you for coleverak, daddy

[dvorcol]

Thank you for adding a Colevrak kit!  This kit could be called Colevrak+ or Typist since it covers more that just Colemak and Dvorak: DH & DHm variations of Colemak; Workman, Norman, Carpalx QGMLWY, and QWPR.  Perhaps more.

Adding an R3 non-homing U would give every supported layout the option to run without homing keys.  Adding an R4 ' " keycap would help anyone using Programmer's Dvorak.

And please don't take this the wrong way, but there are two typos in the kit render.



Regarding the Numpad kit, is 5 a homing key?

[Tefrem34]

The renders look fantastic!

[Tree_]

Colour gradient is well and truly amazing but it's not for me because of the LoL references. Would be a insta-cop with standard icon or text mods.

I've really been digging the recent bump in frequency for QGMLWY. Might consider the switch over from Colemak if the trend persists

Oh no, thanks so much for pointing out the typos! I really appreciate your feedback and will make some changes right away :)

Also, the 5 is a homing key! When I get actual renders done I will be much better about labeling rows and such xD
I just didn't know if KAT was homing/dished before I made those mock up kits so I used the same flatlay design for Bliss and SA is dished

Edit: Colevrak and numpad kits have been updated!

You're welcome, glad it was helpful.  And thanks for adding those two keycaps to the Colevrak+ kit!

Oh snap... you did colemak support.  You're the best!!!!

Realized I forgot to pop a deskmat update here so...

[DuellM]

Nice!! Going to have to pick up the desk mat with the keyset. On a side note, I'm I the only one who's been buying more deskmats then they could ever use? I've bought several desk mats in the last several months even for keysets that I didn't buy. I have about 4 keysets coming and about 15 desk mats  . I think I have a problem

More Deskmats than keysets? Oh yes, I think you do that’s a whole lot of deskmats.
Gotta be hard to put each of them in use.

omg wait lol 15 DESKMATS that's crazy!! I only have 2 that aren't even custom deskmats from keysets xD

[Surefoot]

One deskmat for each day of the week, and we have to cover home and office

Skipping this because of unnecessary bundling of ortho and 40s.

[Oni74]

Very intriguing set! Very much interested even though I'm not familiar with KAT profile at all.

The set does not seem to allow Home (r4)- PgUp (r3)- PgDn (r2) - End (r1) layout that's pretty common for 65% boards because it seems to be missing a r4 End key. Did I miss something?

BTW, thank you for decoupling Numpad kit from the base!

It does, I have really confusing flatlays which I will be updating soon with proper row labeling (altho with KAT the row layout is actually backwards like ePBT)

sorry you feel that way, I'm still considering the feedback for splitting both 60-TKL and 40s/Ortho but depending on the MOQs may also keep them combined. ultimately would rather support more layouts than risk MOQs not hitting.

Cherry keycaps also have unusual row names, but everyone uses the standard R1-R4 (well, some recent sets have been R0-R5).  This table is from Deskthority:


I recommend using standard row labeling on the kit flatlays.  Showing KAT row labels in addition to standard labels might be interesting, but would probably cause some confusion.

Is there a render with a white case? Think it would be cool to see due to kindreds fur being white.

I love the colours on this a lot but I just can't get over the weird font on the mods. Is that a font used in the game or something?

Fantastic update! I am in for a tkl one.

Is there a chance you could add a r4 1.25u shift key to the TKL variant? I believe a decent number of 65/75% layouts use it.

Ohhh crap, after I said something about the mods, the text mods appeared! Now I have to seriously consider buying this set...... :O

[Adelscott]

Very nice set !
But how about a ISO-FR kit ?

KAT Milkshake : biip led the way and sold more than 50
KAT Oasis : JSaintS made one
KAT Atlantis : Rensuya is working on one 

It would be great if you continued this collective effort. As ISO-FR users, with mold moq issues, dye sub is all that is left for us.

The other "weird font" mods you were talking about are custom mods I designed, not related to the game at all.

I'm not sure what you mean by an R4 shift? I'm going by the Keyreative way of labeling rows so do you mean R1? And which layouts use 1.25u shift?

[Minterly]

After discussing with Upas about this, I'm going to be adding an ISO-FR kit. For Milkshake is it the baguette kit?

[Minterly]

I was learning towards not adding text mods to side kits since my original vision was to use icons. However I think I will be adding them in, I'm just debating the best way to add text mods to side kits since it'll blow up the numpad kit but not so much ISO/International/Colevrak so I'll update once I've decided

[Oni74]

Thanks for adding the text mod kit. Icon mods confuse the hell out of me so it's highly appreciated.

One thing though - I think the mod kit would benefit from a single 1U Ctrl key. Both of my 75% boards have 3 1U keys on the right of space bar and it's often used as Alt,Fn,Ctrl. It can be reprogrammed, of course, but it's a common layout worth suggesting.
