Some thoughts:

• Your rows are mislabeled on the second segment of both the Base-A and Base-B renders – 1.5u `backspace`, 1.5u `delete`, 1u `PgUp`, and 1u `Home` should be R2 (QWERTY); The keys labelled as R2 (`purse`, icon `control`, stepped icon `control`, etc. should be R3 (ASDF); All the `shift` should be R4 (ZXCV).
• Some mods have icons, whereas some have legends – would be more homogeneous to stick to either icons OR legends.
• Maybe also include a 7u spacebar with the Alpha-A and Alpha-B (or not include a spacebar at all).
• 1.5u `Code` or 1.5u `Super` would be a great addition for Control Caps-Lock users.

It is indeed the designer who made a mistake in drawing. I will correct it immediately and readjust the configuration with reference to your other suggestions. Thank you very much for posting these problems so carefully.

This combination is because users have reported some mold problems of DMK before, such as the character spacing problem of shift. This time I used a higher cost to replace some keys with icons, hoping to give users a better experience. , and the combination of characters and icons, in fact, many designers have used this combination before, which can make the large function keys look more concise.
Of course, you can take a look at everyone's feedback. If everyone likes the unification of characters, I will revise it again.

At present, DMK does not have these molds, and we have given feedback to DMK. Hope he can add it soon.

the spacebar kit seems incomplete, at least to me other ppl might have different thoughts.
I am missing a second 3U spacebar for both accent and alpha colored as well as a 6U spacebar options (centered and off-centered). Other than that I would like to see the addition of a f13 key.

Nice design, but why opt to have the Cyrillic alphabets to pair with the African themed novelties? Were the Russians or any Slavic countries ever colonizers or slave-owners/traders in Africa history?

This is a bit of a helpless choice. Now DMK only has Japanese, Cyrillic, and Korean roots to choose from.
At present, the font form and theme collocation of Cyrillic is more harmonious than the other two fonts. So I chose Cyrillic.
We also suggested that DMK add some radical stencil options. They are also in preparation, and I believe that the following designs will have matching fonts available to the author.

African countries also have their own scripts, but no rush - the African countries will definitely rise in later half of this century.
First of all, I hope that DMK also pay attention to the uniformity of their text modifiers such as "Backspace" "Shift" "Enter".

Yes, about the optimization of these characters, we have proposed to DMK, I believe they will continue to optimize in the next time.

I want to solicit everyone's opinions. Now there are full-character mods and half-icon and half-character mods, as shown in the renderings. Everyone prefers that kind of collocation. I thought that my friend suggested that the whole character is more complete. Do you have any other friends' suggestions?

If DMK doesn't have any appropriate languages or scripts available for the set's sublegends, why have any sublegends at all?

The cyrillic subs are the closest to some African scripts that DMK has in existence. Japanese would be even weirder. So I have two options. Can only choose double shot :D

2022/9/11 update：
Based on user feedback in the community, we have added additional "tabs" to ALPHA to allow users to mix and match more freely.
In addition, we are going to put the purple 7U and 6.25U spaces in the base, and hope to get your feedback, thank you!

The production of resin artisan has completed the first version of the mold, and I will meet you later ;D

I find some sections incomplete, I don't like the sub-legends, I feel like they are not appropriate for the set.
On the other hand, the novelties seem fascinating to me, in the necklace I would only opt for the purple to be more faithful to it.
If we are talking about Wakanda from what is seen in the title and novelties, I don't like the deskmat at all since it goes off topic.
Other than that it's a good concept.
Wakanda forever!

This is what I understand from a fan's point of view and add elements that I see fit to it. This is also the charm of a theme, everyone has their own understanding and situations they want to express.
As for the deskmat, I just depicted the continent he guarded. It shouldn't be a digression, hahaha, this is just my understanding. ;D

Your UK-ISO support is wrong in these renders. The 3 key's upper legend is # when it should be £. I assume this is just a render mistake but I hope you don't mess that up...
