Hello everyone! There has been a lot of back and forth, of waiting for samples and I won't lie, it's been too long!
Today, I am coming to you with the biggest update I've done since announcing the GMK Keyset, I'm announcing the new kits, new artisan collab and vendors.
Basic Idea
Craddle of life lost in a see of sand, Oasis are key to surviving in the desert and are at the source of Myth and legends. Whether you're hunting for Zerzura or just willing to make a stop in your quest for the endgame board, this keyset is for you!
KAT
All of you should be more or less familiar now with this profile, but for those that are not, here are a couple of things you can check/read:
- ↠ Chinese link with some images (https://www.zfrontier.com/post/detail/7624) ↞
- ↠ English link with some more images (https://www.zfrontier.com/post/detail/7625) ↞
If you don't want to go and read, know this: it's higher than GMK, looks like SA but is shorter than SA (so, all the pros without the cons) :D
Schematics comparing it to SA and GMK:
Kits
Bare with me, there are a lot of kits!
Alphas
Pick what you prefer between the latin alphas or the arabian ones

Modifiers
Whether you use a common layout, a 7u bottom row, a split BS, I got you covered! You just have to decide if you want to go blue or brown!

Calculus
They didn't invent mathematics, but they invented the next best thing: Arabic numerals! You have a numpad or a 1800 board? This is the way to go!

Spacebars
Going for some weird 40% with a bigger spacebar, looking to get a full brown look, the spacebar kit is the nice finishing touch.

Accent
These keys are there to complement the vivid blue color of the Oasis modifiers kit.

NE ISO Available? UK ISO without any other bells and whistles, this is for the pragmatic out there!
