About KATdet R2
Doubleshot this time!
KAT Space Cadet colors have been sampled from Keyreative.
They're intended to match the first round, but with the consistency their doubleshot process offers.
Unfortunately, the black mods did not work well in doubleshot, but everything else looks much better than R1.
A Hyper7 kit has been designed but is not currently planned to run due to MOQ and cost concerns.
You can see images of the samples here! (https://ibb.co/album/HpNpy3)

It may be worth considering the Hyper 7 set more, the R4 is still for sale over at Mechboards and people in the discord have been wondering about other keycap sets, this could be a great option but I guess it's up to whether enough of them make it over and actually express the interest here

I don't know if I want another KAT set myself anytime soon, but I definitely support this one in spirit. O hope it goes well

I already have Space Cadet II in Cherry Profile so getting this would be a nice addition

I'll talk to vendors about it! I did discuss it with Mechboards in the past, hope we can figure something out. I do really want to get it made :)
Just a note, we've received more feedback about H7 kits than anything else.

Big fan of space cadet, interested to see the quality of KAT doubleshot - I know the dyesub version had various issues. If their turnaround times are better and the quality is decent I'm in.

Please add row and key size specifications to your renders. Its removes any ambiguity as to what's included in the kits.

If there's an ergo kit like with R1 then I'm interested.

Can do, though there's a KLE link there with that information and more :)

The Hyper 7 kit in KLE has some black mods. If you end up offering a Hyper 7 kit, would it look different?

What're the chances of having the backwards E and U sublegends swapped to be correct this round?

We're not sure yet! The black legends have been tested. I'm inclined to include them, but it'll come down to kit cost.

why are you cloning mtnu space cadet in a worse profile and manufacturer?

To be fair, this IC started in July, 5 months before MTNU Space Cadet ran.
