Looks great, as said on Discord a 40s kit with orange on white R2 keys would be absolutely lit !

Also there's 2 R2 1.5 pipe keys in the kitting with no difference between them

GLWIC !

Hi! I have thought about the 40 kit, I just have to see how many people are interested in that mini kit!
And the 1.5 pipe I had not noticed! I'll fix it!

Row 1 End and Page Down shouldn't be accented. They're used in upper rows of 1800 boards like Cherry G80-1800 and Hiney HBCP.

Also label your spacebar kit. Would be good to see an ISO novelty as well.

stop/eject button and left and right volume would be interesting for a novelty. ;)

Just wondering whether you should look at the sublegends (or lack of) for the 1u ISO keys and the split backspace pipe key.

I'm seeing more and more GMK sets prefix their name with CYL but nobody is explaining what it means. Can you explain, please?

Not for me due to lacking proper international support, but the colours are good. glwic.

I might be wrong but with the release of their new MTNU profile GMK decided to name their original cherry profile CYL in order to differentiate the 2. Again don't quote me on this as I might be mistaken.

Please add 3-key macOS support. Just need to add two 1.5u Supers and an additional 1u Alt.

Personally feel like the blue set market is a bit saturated right now. especially with stock gmk colors.

While you've got some distinguishing features and a great theme going here, GMK Striker and DCS Blue Moon are still in stock right now. PBTFans Klein blue recently ran. Prussian Blue (hopefully) running soon.

obviously a lot of effort went into this IC, and I am not trying to say you did a bad job here... just pointing out an area of concern

Would love it if the spacebar kit was in orange instead of the blue. Never understood why people don't do the accent color for spacebars more often.

For sure this needs a 40s kit, its perfect for the TPS40 which is a Walkman inspired 40s board, if there was a 40s kit then its a no brainer for me.

Dig the ideal, but am so over Japanese sublegends anymore. Any possibility of a latin alpha kit?
