Design inspiration
Another world in the mirror
Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered what the world looks like?
The mirror is like water, calm, but it hides the mystery of being in it.
It is a space parallel to reality, but in reverse.
I reach out to touch it, and all I feel is a cold mirror on my fingertips.
It was like looking through a magical window into another world of yourself.
The world is the same as what we see, but very different.
I wonder what the world in the mirror looks like when I open this window.
In the mirror image, we are looking straight into a mysterious parallel dimension.
Perhaps it is this unknown that gives the mirror its magical appeal.
The mirror hides a parallel space opposite to reality, allowing us to glimpse another possibility.
It might take us into this amazing parallel world.
Come on, see you by the mirror!

Introduction
The “Mirror image” keycap is designed by Zero-G Studio and manufactured by Hammer.

Kits

There are two sets of schemes at present, but there are too many Kits. Which one do you like better? Please tell me! This will help us a lot in moving forward with GB.
The reason for the two color Alpha schemes is that alpha-b represents the parallel universe and alpha-C represents the mirror space

The best part of this hobby is the inalienable right to do something stupid, so I support this set wholeheartedly. ISO-UK coverage or NordeUK kit would be appreciated.

Thank you. Yesterday, someone also raised the need for UK iso. I am communicating with the factory

Any 40s user is going to have to buy the big mod kit too. Ideally you'd expand the 40s kit so its more like CRP R6's 40s kit (although you could argue that is overly comprehensive) and separate out the spacebars into their own kit.
If you keep it as it is then you could get rid of the 2u shift and add in the previously mentioned r2 1.75u backspace.

I understand what you mean. In fact, 40S users should be allowed to purchase 40s mod and alpha separately to complete the assembly. Is that what you mean? The backspace of 1.75 is in the optimized list.

I may not be a professional 40s user, so I took care of the needs of the 80s as much as possible in my selection. In the current situation, as you said, the simple 40s users may need to buy 80smod to better complete the assembly. I wish I could get some better advice on this point. Let me divide it up a little bit more.

This reminds me of when I saw Leonardo Da Vinci's notes in a museum. He was left handed so wrote most of his notes mirrored!

Unfortunately, I have not seen the actual note, but I have also paid attention to it when I looked it up. This is a simple subject, but also a complex one. Simple because it is everywhere in our lives, complex because it is everywhere but full of mystery.
