At this point even splitting the modifiers was an option... with 3 base kits there is no way to pay less for a big amount of the same keycaps (in this case, gray alphas)
I understand that this approach makes it more expensive for people that want a second set of modifiers to swap between, however I believe this to be a minority, the majority will want to purchase one set of modifiers only, and for them this approach is more beneficial in most cases (exception being those that wanted Regular/Monochrome with Hagoromo Alphas on a HHKB/60% which was doable with the Modifier addon kits before). So I chose to favor what I believe to be the majority of buyers, sorry if it's unfavorable for you.
Hagoromo international kits aren't gonna be a thing?
I'm afraid not, MOQ of 50 for Oblivion Alphas will be hard enough already, Hagoromo will have to make due with physical ISO support which is now offered with the updated kits.
Maybe i wasn't clear, since you followed the approach to split, so you already made the price higher for everyone, and you stated yourself that the majority wants 1 modifiers only implying multiple alphas, well then it would be better if you splitted even the base sets and just make alphas and modifiers (since the base has the alphas repeated 3 times and only different modifiers).
I don't agree on making multiple base set and splitting, but since you made this choice, i'm saying that splitting even more (separating modifiers from alphas of the 3 base kits, making 1 alpha and 3 modifiers) would have take to you guys even more orders, and for us a lower price probably, because the moq of gray alphas which is the most popular will go down a lot, maybe even with 1000+ orders, but since now the gray alphas are splitted along 3 kits, now even if GMK will produce still 1000+ of these, we will still pay the gray alphas at the 300 moq price. Not sure if clear.
Also some who wanted multiple modifiers (which i don't think are just few fellas), will totally give up on this option because they don't want to buy 2 base kits. Personally i'm only interested in base gray alphas and git modifiers (which i believe is the more popular), but if there was a different base kit (different modifiers and different alphas as well) i could consider to buy even a second base kit.
Imho,
Splitting and making more base kits is always a bad a choice, but since you splitted, you could have splitted more to give any logical sense to this split, now it doesn't make sense, same alphas used with only modifiers changed.For example, i never agreed on splitting numpad from the tkl module, but surely that kind of split was more useful than the final sets you decided to go, 3 base kits all with same alphas.
I think you were on the right path with this GB and the IC for a good part of his existence was usefull, but apparently it ended as always, by making the same mistake that Carbon did.
