Not bad - I would be more interested if it light latin alphas were the default (or offered at all).

Thanks for sharing. I will inquire if I can add two more kits.

merge the numpad with the basekit, make the novelties a separate kit, put alice spacebars in base.

nice set though. good to see more keykobo.

Your 40s kit is like the fever dream version of a pbtfans 40s kit. Any reason it's all icon mods when the base kit has text + icon (aside from the fact pbtfans do icon mods)?


Other than that I like the set.

  • r2 1.5u backspace should be a 1.75u
  • if the third and fourth row from the top are supposed to be in r3, then you have two 1.5u enters too many, replace them with regular and accented 1.25u enter
  • your lock key should be 1.75u, but also it's not supposed to be a caps lock key so it shouldn't have a caps lock icon, but also there's like ten people that actually still use that key so maybe just remove it...
  • ...and add another 1.75u spacebar because only having one is worse than not having any

Other than that I like the set.
Ahhh yeah, sorry, it was a last-minute switcharoo from PBTFans to KeyKobo due to the long wait times just to color sample. I will be redoing the kitting soon. Adding Latin Alpha Kits and going with the suggestions you have made. Thank you!

Colours are nice but as someone else already said, wish there was at least an option for latin alphas only, as I think the sublegends are unnecessary (the best bet is probably just an option, I do know that weebs are a huge market XD). Glad to see the switch from pbtfans to keybobo, since it will probably result in better quality caps. GLWIC

The kitting render for the numpad seems to be incorrect? These should be alpha colored. I know the board renders show the right color 1U zero so just wanted to let you know of the issue.

@Synthreal and I have made the adjustments recommended by the community. Thank you all so for your suggestions. Would like your feedback before proceeding any further.

has KKB confirmed they have / will be making the moulds for icon mods and the 40s kit?

I think it's fine not to include numpad in base, as the increase in cost is not insubstantial. That being said, if you're going for a cheap base kit approach then it doesn't make sense to include novs in base.

Hey,
It is no longer separate. Just working on updates renders now.

Ill probably pick up a Alt Alpha Kit. Looks great. I just wish they were triple shot, but I understand price is a thing.

Love the colors

Should there be a 1u "00" for the numpad?  To go with the 1u "0" it currently has.

think the 1u 0 is intended to go with 96% layouts

I will buy if latin base kit is an option. I will not buy if I'm forced to buy sub-legends AND then a latin child kit.
