Get that rama collab for the gold pvd keycap :thumb:
I'd love to see a Greek alphas set, keeping with the overall theme. or maybe Greek sublegends? (full disclosure, I have no idea if tooling exists for this). The novelties might be refined to include the 7 Wonders of the World? I really like the colors though, so great work there. Also a collab with Marblek on this?

But the overall theme isn't Greek, that's just one of the civilizations it references.
would like to see a 40s kit for this. Amazing work so far tho, really dig the color scheme and novelties
The color choice is definitely appropriate for the theme, but I'm not sure that WS2 is the right choice for the white, as it's quite cool. I associate ancient monumental architecture more with warm whites.I agree with this regarding the white. A warmer white might suit it better. Would also like to see gold accent spacebars either in base or in spacebars kit. Otherwise really like the direction and theme on this set!
Your base kit is missing R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn.
Your spacebars kit has 1.75u space and second 1u space, which are only used on 40% boards, so they should be removed from the kit as they are effectively useless here.

To paraphrase Ronnie Coleman, everybody wants accent mod kits, but no one wants to pay no high-a$$ed price for them. This ain’t KAT.
Custom color mods only kit at 100 moq is about 105$. A base kit with 250 moq with WS1 or WS2 white and this color could be held down to 130.
Go look at the prices and sales numbers for GMK Carbon R2, terminal, posh, and prepress, and while you’re at it, see GMK forge and GMK Rocket, and then the dual base kits of yuru, GMK Godspeed, space cadet r2, and classic blue. If you think higher moq will assuage your kitting issues with separate mods kits...go read Oblotzky’s justification of GMK oblivion r2 kitting after getting quotes.
This is also from someone who bought Carbon Umka. That said, if you ran white on bronze, and bronze on white base kits, I’d probably buy both.

WS2 would be a lot better/creamier with this legend color. The harsh blue/grey of WS1 would not complement the brass tone imo.
Add Ortho/40s kit, finalize all other kitting (In Progress)
Treeleaf not approved. The price is too high for the kitting. And the kitting isn't even good.couldnt have said it better myself treeleaf :D
What do you mean $120 for "still supporting as many standard layouts as possible"?????
Why does it cost $200 for Base / UK ISO / Numpad?
Normally it would be 135 for all of these features in the same base kit.......
Treeleaf does Not Approve!
$120 for that base kit...
I feel like the trade off for a tiny decrease in cost vs the amount of compatibility lost in the base kit is not worth it.
GMK Thai Tea was priced with a 250 MOQ and the larger base kit is at $135.
That's a $15 difference with a bigger base kit, more colors, and a smaller MOQ.
Meanwhile, with this kitting, we are looking at $120 for tkl support, then $40 for numpad, and $40 for ISO for a total of $200.
Why do you think this is the better way to kit the set?

The size of the base kit has been reduced drastically to provide the lowest possible price while still supporting as many standard layouts as possibleSo TKL kits are becoming the new base kits? To be honest I'm disappointed, I really liked this set as a nice, classy alternative to the super clean BOW. For me it had a similar vibe as GMK Noir has for WOB, but with that kitting decision I find it hard to justify a buy :(
Do not get why you changed the kitting when it was fine to begin with but now it's just like dixies kitting which is straight up horrible and money hungry/exploitive yikes
It's really important to me that the community understands that these kitting decisions weren't made out of greed and instead were made out of ignorance. The kitting will revert back to a more standard one with numpad and iso support in base kit.Hanlon's Razor strikes again. Good decision, IMO.
Plans for any sort of of extensions kit which could include a vertical function row such as the ones seen on GMK Serika R2's macro expansion kit- would absolutely make this set a must!With reverted kitting it's already a must buy for me but this would be an added bonus.
Calls a kit civilizations, does not support european layouts :))
No norde/EU layout is a dealbreaker
black on gold alphas?
I was so hyped about the kit, but just realized that there is no 1.25 shift in the 40% kit. RIP
Love it love it love it. Need dat Series 00 Sandblast Brass on it :eyes:
Must buy set personally. Colors work really well together; looks luxurious.

That's because there's a 1.25U shift in the base kit!

Love the kit update!
It's missing a 1u backspace (which is used in Adélie render), but I'll just use minus or something. I wouldn't be using the key as backspace anyway.
I’m so confused, why was the 1u backspace removed? The ortho kit doesn’t support ortho anymore :(
This means I’m out

I had checked with the 40s discord server as I'm hardly an expert on 40s/ortho kitting, and they said that the kit looked fine, so I was unaware that the 1u backspace was considered integral. If enough people feel that they need the 1u backspace added back to the 40s kit, it's certainly something that can happen.

Update: I checked with them again and realized that my 40s/ortho kitting was inconsistant, I don't intend to offer support for UT47 (anyone who wanted this set for that please feel free to leave a comment and I can consider it), so I'll be removing the 1.25 enter and 1.5 shift (formerly intended for Evolv support) in exchange for a 1u backspace. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
Would be nice to have some images of renders with the Brass Modkit on. Most of your images only have the Base Kit.
have you considered putting brass mods in the base kit?I agree with this statement 100%.
I feel the current base lacks a bit too much contrast.
this is just a suggestion.

Need a render with the brass mod kit
a board that hasn't been announced yet
Wow gorgeous set, hard to decide if I want brass mods or not since both look so good. What’s the board in the banner with brass mods?
God damn do those Rama look good. Def getting an enter and esc for this.
Awesome job man!
Just a beautiful kit and looks so good on e-white. Hope you do an R2 with ISO-UK support!This
Is there any chance that this set will run to the beginning of March?
That is unfortunately the only scenario that I would be able to afford to buy this set!

The set will be running starting today, January 23rd, through February 23rd. Vendors will be ordering extras though, so you might be able to pick up a set later!

Is this already sold out on Mechs&Co? Or has the site just not opened the GB yet?
I see no price for extras in Europe. Does it mean we're toast for deskmat/artisans?
That'll pretty much decide if I order through my keyboard or proto[typist]. :cool:
edit: The gb is now live on my keyboard with all the extras.
Bonus question: will the other artisans be added as they are revealed ? (looking at you Mode Designs)
Ordered one of each kit, all ramas, and the mode artisan. First time at $500 for a keycap set for me. :eek:
