Will we have a BP kit with black mods? 😉

I posted over on r/mm as well, because I am very hungry for that Planck set. I just wanted to add my encouragement to make sure to accommodate the Preonic folks as well—our numbers are growing like crazy, and there's a Massdrop (which has 3.5k requests!) coming in the next couple/few weeks. Don't leave us out!

Looking fantastic so far.  :thumb:

Such strange colors....I absolutely love it. So much of the time, I feel like people post sets that are "almost great", if only they'd have done it a little differently, or added something extra. This set has already found it with the colors, it's awesome.

It's got the high contrast look of black and white, but with far more "pop". It may sound strange, but I think if it as a cousin to Super Mario World's Fire Mario/Luigi.

It's always so hard to tell what colors truly resemble, especially since I don't have a great monitor right now... would you say the photo of the sample is closer to the real life color? When I saw the mock-up I felt rhat maybe the brown could be a tiny shade darker, like ultra-dark chocolate, but looking at the plastic sample it does indeed appear to be perfect.

What's the point of the Colemak/Dvorak kit? DSA allows you to rearrange keys to your heart's content; only the 1.75u backspace is necessary, and it can get bundled in with the base modifiers or a specialty key.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. The brown is pretty dark and should look like the photo. I'm getting a render done of the set, which should demonstrate the color even better.

On most DSA sets, H and J are still "deep dish" keys for finding homerow. Including regular H and J in the alphas along with the deep dish keys would be the cheapest option for alternate layout support. Having a separate colemake/dvorak kit that includes only the regular H and J and deep dish versions of the homing keys for those layouts would give those folks the homing keys they need. Depending on cost even that might be able to lump in with the regular alphas.

I don't believe the number 4 key is needed in the ISO pack as it's the same as in the main set

Actually, in the UK layout, we commonly have 4 as the main legend, $ as the top legend and € to the right of the 4 (for use with alt graph).

I have some ideas for novelties with the theme of land, sea, and sky, which was my original name for the set.

I've added support for international layouts after many requests for it. Please let me know if you see any errors in the kit.

6.25u spacebar is existed in modifiers kit, could you change the "GFD" spacebar from 6.25u to 6u at the spacebar kit?

I think I'll just offer a separate 6u spacebar kit if I decide to include them.

Yeah, I'm looking at different GB options right now.

TheKeyCompany has a connection with Keyreative (Starry Night & Drifter) and it'd be cheap vs SP. Granted it'd be dyesub, but I think they do amazing work.
