The Deets:
Rerun of classic colorway with blessings from Norbauer & Co.
Permission was given to run a 40s kit only, due to the original (and any possible forthcoming) kit not having support for smaller layouts. (Sorry my normie friends.:'()
Kit includes QAZ support with the new modifiers commissioned by Keyboard Arcade!
After some input from the 40s community, the decision was made to switch from DSS to DCS for this run.
Kitting should fit most 40% keyboards, however some decisions were made to get the cost down.
There is a small issue with pink on yellow text bleeding slightly, but it is hardly noticeable, just something to be aware of.

TL;DR (for blacksimon)
After-School. DCS. 40s Only. QAZ.

This needs to be icon only legends out of respect for the original designer (it looks better too).

+1 and keep it GMK

Thank you for this- tomorrow's the last day of the Group buy... we kind of got beaten up on the backs of a million reruns. Everyone, buy this if you want to support an original set.

Quite a shame this community is often stuck in the past about group buys they missed rather than looking forward and making new original sets. The prevalence of reruns is a shame to a community based upon personal expression and creativity, or so I thought. Thank you for this set, It's refreshing to see.
