This set has a couple issues with kitting and cohesion.
Latin Base:
- There are two 1.75u shifts; I assume the one on the bottom left is supposed to be 2u
- 1.75u shift on the bottom left has its legend compressed
Zhuyin Base:
- Why are the 26 "letter keys" monolegend Zhuyin while the other alphas have ANSI keys with Zhuyin subs?
- 7 key is missing its sublegend
- 2u shift has its legend stretched
Both Bases:
- Full touch Caps Lock is white while stepped Caps Lock is black
- 1.5u shift has a compressed legend
- No thematic F13 F-row support
- Rightmost 1.25u Super is white while the equivalent change isn't reflected in the Tsangan bottom row
- The white Print/Scroll/Pause keys make 1800 Nav cluster configurations an incoherent mess
Spacebar:
- For some reason the thematic F13 support is here
- There's an extra F13 key
- No 1u, 1.25u, or 6u spacebars
- The spacebar colouring doesn't make much sense
Numpad:
- There are random white keys here - I understand why there are white keys in base, but here it just seems messy
- No R1 Pg Dn for 1800 support
Camo Novelty:
- ISO enter novelties are in the wrong row
- Appears to be near-deliberate removal of a full brown column
Also an issue with the first render:
- The very first render is in UK-ISO despite UK not being anywhere in the set
- The ISO key to the left of Z is black as opposed to the white one in both Base kits
Are you trying to cashgrab or are you genuinely clueless? The only genuine reason I see this is ePBT is because of your mention in (the now late) KDD about how you didn't want Numpad in Base.
Also we can see the part of nemui thats supposed to be hidden by grass in the initial render.
Instead of bamboo on the novelties maybe some cute pandas or something else would be better?
I would put this on hold, gmk panda is literally in gb rn
Curious of the reason behind choosing zhuyin sublegend vs. cangjie... personally I think cangjie is better fitted for this theme.
Hi there, i'm actually very interested to hear you pov, perhaps you could share. I was at two minds on deciding between both sublegends and decided to post one option for IC feedback ^^.

While both zhuyin and cangjie are used for inputting Chinese characters, zhuyin is primarily used in Taiwan. But pandas are not originated from Taiwan.
Pandas are from mainland China (specifically, Sichuan province), where pinyin is the most popular Chinese inputting system, followed by wubi. Cangjie is very niche and considered "hard to use" for the purpose of entering Chinese.
Personally, if I have to pick between the two, cangjie sublegend at least are made of Chinese characters which feels closer than zhuyin (which are closer to symbols than actual Chinese characters).
Alternatively, if the desire is to go with non-sense alphas -- as I don't think those who buy the cangjie legends will actually try to look at the keyboard when they type -- then you could go with the character "竹" (which means "bamboo") for all alpha keys -- this will also match your all bamboo novelties.

Monotone Greg?
I think this idea of the panda face design (reminds me of the pandas in Minecraft lol) is really cute and makes it different from other panda themed sets :) I agree with some of the other comments that the novelties could use some work. I just think the brownish-green colour doesn't fit in with the cute panda design :( GLWIC!
