Do you know any boards that use 1.75u space other than Vortex Core and JD40 (which requires two of them)?

The Minitomic does.

Still useless, because none of the other keys cater to that layout.

this is great info, ty

in the grand scheme of this set i prefer the split one yeah for visuals. i get they're separate characters. it can and will still be bound to |.

Wow...

I just noticed that a Dell rubberdome (that weird one with the wider bottom row) at work uses the split pipe legend on backslash. It might not be strictly correct, but it is a commonly seen variation.

Nobody:
Iovercallhistiocytes: as the non letter alphas of GMK Handarbeit proceed in a diagonal line down the right of the keyboard, V4 blue space bars might be a viable split spacebar color for the set.

That's an interesting idea I combined a few SA keysets like that myself.

Added some pics from the LZ buy of GMK white-blue.

Based on the IC form, a couple of thoughts: are you guys interested in a R5 add-on kit?

Any interest in a monotone white/blue colorway like LZ offered?

Considering doing 2 alphas kits and 2 mods kits, but that might be more expensive...

10/1: updated the kits off of your suggestions.

Looking at the upcoming slate of keyset gb, we are thinking about launching in February 2020.

Wow this will likely be my next set! To save plastic from being wasted on all your friends here who use 60/65/75% boards, any chance we can split off the numpad into a separate kit? It will also help keep the cost down for the base kit.

looking at mid jan - mid feb 2020 now

but with the numpad, it's gonna stay put. otherwise you may have to buy a numpad kit to moq, and you end up with extra numpads you can't sell later. not many ppl buy a standalone numpad and it doesn't add much cost to the base kit to include it.

some pics of the sample caps in different lighting environments.

working on finalizing the kits so fill out the Fill out IC form! pricing etc coming soon.

Love the ideal of some more simplistic sets hitting the market, most likely will be supporting this! Would love to see more like it also, a classic red would be awesome.

Big update: The set will now run in May on Novel Keys! https://novelkeys.xyz/

In order to use Novel Keys as the NA vendor, we have to push the gb back a few months. Sorry for the delay.

This means we have more time to make tweaks on kits, maybe work on some other stuff (deskmats? artisans?) to go along with the group buy, and get some more renders together. We also can confidently offer both base kits which was always important to me.

Thanks again to hiney for working out all this business stuff. I'm looking forward to it and we'll keep you guys updated!

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #63 on:** Tue, 17 December 2019, 21:46:00 »

Ready for all blue and bars in May. I might sell striker, actually...

Starston3 · « **Reply #64 on:** Tue, 17 December 2019, 23:15:20 »

Could you add two 1.5u Super and two 1u Alt keys to the base for tsangan compat for mac users. Like GMK minimal?

Trying to keep the base kit small but let me talk to hiney about this.

Just since I'm bumping, what would you guys like to see with a deskmat etc? Especially since there is no theme here, would anyone want just a color matched deskmat to the blue, if that's possible of course.

Ensaum · « **Reply #69 on:** Tue, 21 January 2020, 09:28:45 »

Tbh, I think just a solid blue desk mat with white stitching around the edges would look nice and classy.

xv · « **Reply #70 on:** Tue, 21 January 2020, 10:45:20 »

Tobias Fünke novelties when?

terrad · « **Reply #71 on:** Tue, 21 January 2020, 19:10:44 »

I think any deskmat design with some "geometry"/pattern would be nice (think violent tendencies, bento, serika hexagon...).

maybe a pantone swatch card inspired design for the deskmat?

Really love the simplicity of the mono blue kit. Very interested.

As a deskmat idea, I’d love to see a color matched blue to white gradient.

Have you considered adding an ortho mods kit? I’ve been thinking about if I picked up this kit, what kind of keeb would I put it in. I’ve got a blue anodized alum 15x5 ortho board that this Keyset would look absolutely stunning in.

Excellent! I am definitely in. Two requests for your consideration:

1. Text-only modifiers (like the recent GMK Oblivion)? Looks super clean as opposed to the arrows+text for things like "Shift" or "Enter" or "Tab" etc.
2. A 1.5u "Command" key for those of us who use Macs

ARSLOCK · « **Reply #77 on:** Sat, 28 March 2020, 17:27:45 »

Been awhile with no news, so here's a bump. Buy is still on for May.

Small update to the base kits: (b and F13!)

spacebars kit is the same.

and we have a channel with updates on the hiney discord

konstantin · « **Reply #78 on:** Sat, 28 March 2020, 18:38:12 »

Seeing B and F13 but still no 1.25u Fn makes me a sad panda.

yes hiney it's in every other set

ARSLOCK · « **Reply #79 on:** Thu, 02 April 2020, 14:40:40 »

Exciting little update: RAMA cap! E-white coating, blue infill.

Price TBD
also thanks to u/beamingrobot for being the SEA proxy!

BuddhaBen · « **Reply #80 on:** Sat, 04 April 2020, 00:37:36 »

Blue Rama 'X' on white looks sick.

Definitely picking up a base set and RAMA. Any chance we could get the RAMA 'O' too?
