would be down but I don't use any sa sets. the only one that appeals is yuri but i don't have the money for it rn. we do need to have a form for some gmk sets too though. I was also thinking about making a discord channel for us to organize efforts of getting colevrak+ plus kits for future sets. seems like a lot of designers feel its not worth trying to run a colevrak kit bc they've seen how they do in the past but the colevrak+ kits (granted the sample size is small) have done quite well.I also try to avoid SA, but I do buy it every time there is a Colevrak kit, so I would be down for it!
I bet the easiest one for SP to produce would be SA-P Industrial, and coincidentally, that's the one missing kit needed for me to buy a full set.
Yuri & Hacker would be great too.
Oh I forgot to mention Modern Selectric, but that's kind of a long shot & it hasn't run in a long long time.

I'll also add, I know it's not SA, but there seemed to be a lot of interest during the KAT Milkshake GB for a Colevrak kit for the Werdios kits. They sold 649 Weirdos kits. Alphas were 945 and there were 44 Colevraks for that, so a weirdos Colevrak might hit ~30 or so?

That doesn't work. I would have bought Weirdo + Colevrak, but it wasn't available. I bought Katakana instead.
I am wondering how much potential Colevrak buyers went with Katakana instead.
I bought Alpha+Colevrak (to show support) and Katakana (because I'm a weeb). I bought Weirdos too just because I was thinking of asking biip if I could run a Colevrak of the Weirdos, but work has been crazy and I just don't have the time. If Colevrak had been an option for weirdos, I wouldn't have bought alphas.
So, I don't think the cyrillics kit in Yuri GB rather than a true colevrak kit is a good solution for colevrak users. If we have the chance to do the Colevrak+ run and if only one colevrak kit is possible, I think we should do it for the normal latin alphas as the first priority out of other alphas.
Folks, HUGE update on this front.I for one am super excited and happy SP was willing to do this!
You may or may not know, but SP is retiring the uniform R3 profile Ice Caps in favor of a fully sculpted SA set called Snow Caps. This means we're losing an existing fully Colevrak compatible keycap set, and one I personally love to boot. Booooooo. BUT, I reached out to SP and after a couple back and forths and sending them dvorcol's awesome Colemak+ picture, TLDR they are going to be introducing Colevrak compatibility kits for all their SA sets!!! They didn't say if they are going to do vanilla Colevrak or full Colvevrak+, but hey, it's a step forward. AND they said if we got the original GB runner's permission, it shouldn't be too hard to run Colevrak mini-GBs for other sets.
The person I emailed with said "be on the lookout for it next week," but that was specifically for Snow Cap. Then when I asked if the tooling could be used for other sets like SA-P Industrial, she said "[w]e are going to be incorporating more colevrak kits into all of our sculptured sets (that we sell on our site)" which sounds like a more long-term project.
SP came through! It's listed as out of stock, but the pics are up. They split it into two kits, colevrak and colevrak pro:That's really exciting!Show Image(https://cdn10.bigcommerce.com/s-ktpi93fl/products/267/images/2199/Colevrak__49165.1572987248.400.250.jpg?c=2]http://)Show Image(https://cdn10.bigcommerce.com/s-ktpi93fl/products/267/images/2200/Colevrak_Pro__34446.1572987249.400.250.jpg?c=2])
I use ColemakDH so I'd have to get both (for the B). Super excited they did this!

Very nice.
Is it a mistake "]}" in R3 of Colevrak Pro?
Ne Colevrak?

I don't know, it's a kit that will allways struggle to reach MOQ. How the IC does the following days will determine if I should open the question about that kit.
If I were to make it, the Typist kit would provide layout coverage for Colemak, Colemak DH, Colemak DHM, Dvorak, Workman, Norman, and Carpalx QGMLWY.
Oh please make it public. Would love to get this set.
Hacker is under development. Not sure whether there will be a public GB but let me see what I could do.
Very nice.

No mistake. That's there to support Wide layout. The others: =, [, and / are all in their QWERTY rows, just shifted over.Show Image(https://colemakmods.github.io/ergonomic-mods/gfx/wide_mod_colemak_ansi.png)

There is a mistake though - D and H in R4 shouldn't be in the base set (which is intended to support just vanilla Colemak and Dvorak), they should be the Colevrak Pro, which supports Colemak DH, DHm, and others. It was my mistake and I've already reached out to them about it.

It seems SP already fixed this.
I don't have a problem with that key, although I personally wouldn't use it either. I do welcome 1u R3 keys where I can use it in place of the single/double quote key as often found on GMK kits.

Not to pat myself on the back, but yeah, because I let them know. And to their credit, they fixed it super quick before the sets even went live.
But any way, fellow Colevrakians/Colemak bois, since we've gathered here, I'd like to pose a question to you all: what are your thoughts on requesting a 1u R3 backspace be added to the standard Colevrak+ kit? I understand the kit is already sizable, and we're a small, niche group, but as someone that uses ortho boards almost exclusively, the caps-lock sized backspace does nothing for me and I'm often left struggling to fill that slot with something else.
I realize colevrak ortho may be a niche within a niche, but I was curious if this is something that would benefit others too, or shall I just keep filling the void with novelties and whatever random R3 key I can?
