Since the set is controlled by us and designed by us, if it reaches even a smaller MOQ than 150 we will buy up the rest of the set to make it happen :)

That just made my Christmas!

The set is missing the ISO key that is used next to ISO L-shift. The crocodile gap.

We are asking Christopher soon for pricing once we decide here in the thread what should stay and go keycap-wise.

Man, these colors look good.

I'm excited to see BV being used. It's a new color, right? I have it on my GMK color ring but I know others don't have it/didn't receive it with theirs.

Have you ever thought getting rid of the function keys standard legends and replace them with specific legends that fit the jet-theme, like Godspeed did it? That is to say to have something different than "ctrl" "alt", whatever.

I believe it's just a overlook in the original post's render, but the hammer and sickle novelty is actually rotated by ninety degrees. The sickle handle should be facing bottom left.

The best way I can think to put it is that BV is a slightly "warmer" N9. Maybe a dark grey-brown.

I'm sure it's been said before, but this set screams for Cryillic alphas being MiG-21 inspired. Also, please consider actually having the numpad keys without secondary legends - they look suuuper clean and nice.

If you're looking for more novelty key ideas maybe translate some of these:

I agree about the secondary legends on the numpad keys. GMK Burgundy did it and it looks amazing!

We will go crazy on all advertising when we get renders and stuff out, still working on keys, posting some stuff over the week, will need your guyses confirmation :)

Requesting a 2U Shift key and R4 "Delete" key for gk64 (arrow pad 60% PCB). If this isn't possible then a 2u spacebar or blank 2U R4 key in gray could also work. If this goes live I will definitely buy a set. I bet this keyset would look great w/ a red plate.

I think the render as is, is missing the 1u key next to small ISO left shift. You need this to fully support putting this on an ISO keyboard (normally most non- EU centric GBs will put a duplicate backslash here)

UPDATE - NORDE KIT

So hello people! This is the month where everything will happen, hopefully, to launch in the first week of January. So, here is the NORDE kit, this kit is very important to CandyKeys since it is a EU store and we simply want ISO support in more than just UK.

The inspiration for it was taken from GMK Nautilus NORDE kit.



Is every OK with this?

Next update - Would people prefer an American Vendor as well for the people from the other-side of the pond?

Personally I prefer to just order directly from you Candy. There no import tax for America.. and shipping should be a bit faster directly from you. That also cuts out any issues with a middle man. I think the last group buy only had issues cause of the price. I know others said otherwise... but still think the lower price would have helped push it even with all the other amazing sets out at the time.

I’m in Canada so an American vendor doesn’t make to much of a difference for me.

Also due to CETA the future would probably not apply either if shipped form candykeys.

So I prefer shipment directly from you.

Well this STILL doesn't address my concern that the base kit does not support ISO (missing a R4 1u key to go next to the ISO Left Shift. Please consider adding the 1u key to remedy this. Although this still does not have the correct legended keys for my layout (ISO-UK), at least adding this would allow me to use the base kit on an ISO keyboard.
