grayed nautilus. doesn’t give me quack vibesWe didn't really feel the need to go full duck theme, hence the term mildly. Thanks for your feedback!

I like it a lot. Hope you will push for those cherry legends and not the default SP ones. I like the default ones, but cherry looks more fitting here. It looks a lot like something Omnitype would run. Speaking of, did you think about contacting them for fullfillment? DCS Red Alert went super fast and was an overall great GBWe have vala for america, and yeah we will try to stick with the cherry-like legends over modified gorton.

Love to see minimal 40s in base

sentiment shared-- would you be able to do 1.75 backspace, 1.25 tab, and 1.5 enter? would open your market up to 40s users by a lot :)

will probably post again once more kits come out.
I don't have a big issue with a numpad/iso kit in all honesty, a lot of people freak out when they see it but when you have something like DCS you might need it to keep costs down

I fw the colors, kitting is nice (only checked for F13 and B lul), GLWIC1.) Thanks!

2.) We currently aren't thinking about more kits unless we get LOTS of demand for it (simply makes no sense)
3.) DCS is reasonably priced, so I hope that numpad/iso won't be too big of a deal.

Feels like it lacks yellow and orange.
Not saying this base kit's color is bad, but i'd wanna see sth more quacky. more yellow. more ducky. maybe another base kit/alt mods kit to offer?

Also, please specify if you are going with PBT or ABS

Excuse me kind designer, Quack keyset but no Quack novelty?A rubber ducky escape key to figuratively 'duck out' would be great
What gives?

Not even novelties?

Are the smaller spacebars going to be concave? Because SP does not do convex spacebars under 6.25.Yeah sorry, we will try to fix that in the fixed renders. We will do ABS. Thanks for the note.
Also, please specify if you are going with PBT or ABS
i dont feel the quack in the base kit tho.I will talk to the rest of the group. Thanks for the feedback!

I think having them in basekit might be best, we might need to add more though. Thanks!We currently aren't thinking about more kits unless we get LOTS of demand for it

Really nice colour. I agree it is a muted nautilus style.Thanks for the feedback!
When I first read that, I thought you meant an actual rubber keycap LOL. But I like that idea! Thanks.Excuse me kind designer, Quack keyset but no Quack novelty?

Excuse me kind designer, Quack keyset but no Quack novelty?We have the duck novelties in base, unless you mean something else?
What gives?

Can you add normal colored enter to base kit, unless I am missing it.
I was wondering this too. If you go to the IC form, they have the normal mod colored enter on the TKL layout. Wonder why they have two duck enters in the post though..

Oops that was a mistake with my render. Fixed now!

We are working on new novelties and a few more exciting things. Also I fixed the pictures in the IC (sorry).
Thanks all for your support!

Shared sentiment here. Once you remove the accents it loses anything that it has to do with ducks. And as you might have guessed, I like ducks, so I would rather not have a set like this usurp the name.
It seems like the people behind it want to stick to the colourway though, which at this point I would just suggest getting rid of the novelties (not like it would hurt, there are only 2 in there, would also save time with working on new ones) and calling the set something else; for example "shelled cephalopod".
Anyway, just my 2 cents, have a good day.

This would look much better with a bit more saturation...
Oh wait, I have this set already.
