2/24/21:- Changed R2 1.5u "Delete" to "Backspace" in Base Kit
- Moved extra B keys into Base & Dark Alphas rather than being in the Spacebars Kit
- Added extra tab to Dark Alphas to potentially provide coverage for another board alongside the Base
- Moved 6.25u accent from Base to Spacebars (sorry to those who appreciated this in the Base, have to make room for basic ISO)
- Moved R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn, F13 from Extension to Base
- Removed ' " key from Extension (not sure why that was there in the first place...)
- Added R4 "Send" key to Extension
- Added R1 blue pipe key to Symbol Row for better split backspace support

* This includes the basic ISO enter, R4 <> key, 1.25u shift and R3 pipe key
* Also included a dark option for the R4 <> key and R3 pipe key in Dark Alphas
* The remaining UK alpha keys have been moved to Norde (now NorDeUK), along with the Alt Gr keys, and the accent ISO enter
12/31/20:The kits as of this update are going off to GMK for pricing. Time to finally get Electric to GB! Things are still subject to minor modification if you notice something wrong.
Spacebars kit:
- Added a 2.75uC and 2.25uC key
- Moved 1.25uC from extension kit
- Added 2x blue 1uC
- Added a second 3uC
Extension kit:
- Added 2u resistor novelty
- Added F13 key
- Moved 1.25uC to spacebars kit
- Fixed some legends (thanks Oblotzky for pointing out the 1.75 backspace needing an arrow)
* Decided to ommit the 1.75u Lock key
* Decided to keep the two 1.75uC keys for JD40/45 users
* Decided to keep the 2.25u shift even though it isn't necessarily used by many layouts.
660 style boards should have compatibility too.
International changes:
- Readded the » « key to Norde for Portuguese users
- Removed duplicate keys from Norde that were already in the ISO kit
* Decided dark alpha compatibility will not be offered for special ISO keys. no way this would hit MoQ.
Other:
- Added 1.25u Fn to base kit
- Added backspace resistor novelty to symbol row
* If you want split backspace support you'll need the novelties kit as well, it has 1u R1 novelties for AC and DC power which will match the symbol row
- Added dark alphas to the numpad kit by default
* This was a hard decision because I don't want to increase cost for those who have no interest in dark alphas. But, that is a preferable alternative in my eyes to including the numpad by default in the dark alphas.
11/17/20:- New kit and board renders (by me)
- Thread formatting update
- USA, EU and CA vendors listed
- New pictures of the deskmat sample
- Base kit is now numpadless and ISO-less
- Numpad has been moved to the numpad kit, changed numpad style to single legends
- ISO has been moved to the ISO kit
- Added dark alphas kit
- Split novelties into "Symbol row" and "Novelties"
- Replaced GND symbol with a NAND symbol (thank you to those that suggested adding this)
- Fixed novelty enters being 2u instead of 2.25
- Removed "geekhack" and "/r/mk" from novelties to reduce cost
- Spacebar kit now includes a 3C key, an extra 2C key, and extra Bs. Removed non-accent 6u spacebars.
- Extension now only supports accent (electric blue) enter keys
- Reason: with the addition of the dark alphas, it would have been prohibitely expensive to include both gray and dark gray variants of all spacebars, so I see no reason in including the non-accent enters either.
- Norde kit has been updated to the latest version of GMK WOB & BOW's NordeUK+ kit
- Supports British, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Faroese, Danish, Deutsch, and Portuguese layouts. I also included an Ñ key for Spanish layouts
- I ommitted the » « key as I couldn't find what layout it is a part of, if you know please let me know
- Alt Gr and ISO enter keys are now a part of the ISO kit
