Mcmcmc has gmk green alert work started but I think it’s just on the discord

If there was an alert row add on for this Id buy, those who didn’t want it in the base can ignore. Lightnings extension kit for blue was good and I’m glad to see it again.

The green alert set is a very different shade of green. This set is essentially a tribute to the old bsp green on beige :)

Personally I'd force the accents for 40s support and add an r3 1.75u and 1.25u Enter (in order of priority) instead of the non-accented enters.

Love everything about this set (moreso than Green alert).

My only requests would be to add NorDEUK (or just UK iso...) and to echo what ggggggg said: add a 1.75u Enter key to the 40s kit to support non-minivan layouts.

Verdant Retro Base (Base Kit)
Show Image


Consider dropping either accented or non-accented R2 Esc and R3 1.5u Enter from the base kit. Those keys aren't common enough to justify there being two copies in the base kit, while some more popular keys have been relegated to the extensions kit.

Looking great! Loving the retro-vibe. Will you be adding the verdant retro logo to a beige and a green keycap in the standard or extension kit? It would be nice to put in the set to add some uniqueness for those that are into it.

More than likely not as we are trying to keep pricing for this as low as possible. I'm already working on some amazing artisan collabs and maybe we can get one working that includes the VR logo.
