Very nice! In my stupid opinion the red should be brighter (don’t come at me with that Metaverse clone nonsense lol). Not a fan of burgundy / wine reds. Mind sharing color codes or any samples of the colors IRL if available? Thanks for the 40s support!

Add 1800 support to numpad kit - r1 End and r1 Page Down.

Also is 7 Caps Locks really necessary? I think they bloat the kit for no good reason.

If I were to guess, they use batch molds so not including all of them does not change the price. Domikey and JTK do the same thing

Some heathens are still choosing to use the purse capslock in 2022…

Correct. If you want to blame someone, blame pbtfans when they created the molds in the first place.

I hate to be that guy... but alt mods/alphas would def outsell some of the other child kits  ;) ;)

Would love to see the Cyan accents in the accents kit. Would love to pick it up to go with the WoB/BoW pbtfans sets I've got rather than getting the entire base which would go to waste.

saw the updated kits on kdbfans website. love that you sorted the sets to be sold by color! but still think blue set could be fixed a bit. people who want to get the blue accented split spacebars will end up with 2 sets of icon esc, enter, iso enter, arrow keys, and both 6.25u and 7u spacebars. maybe just remove them from the base kit and bring down the cost of the base kit? otherwise really really love all the changes, definite buy for me.

Thank you for the feedback, I'll be exploring the option of splitting the Cyan Kit into 2. I don't see removing them from the Base Kit beneficial as they aren't affecting its price by the way PBTfans manufactures kits.

Will it come in singleshot without the Japanese letters?

Are the white and black colors going to be colormatched to GMK stock colors like CR and WS1?
