This is something I can look into. We should already have the necessary molds from Pharaoh
Thanks, that sounds good. I also showed the kit to my brother and he would definitely buy a base+international also. Any idea when the group buy might start?
Best regards
Cool!!
Hoping for a Q1 launch.. We will see if the vendor slots free!

Hi meowoofun! Mocks have been updated, this was an error on my part. (and, a huge learning curve)
Thanks for checking it out!

« Last post by Shark on Tue, 16 December 2025, 11:09:51 »It would be helpful to include who your prospective manufacturer might be (GMK, PBTFans, etc...) as well as the material and profile of the keycaps!Hi manhuake! Appreciate your reply.
Right now, all we can see whether we like the colors and designs, but not much about preferred materials/prices/profiles/etc...
GLWIC!
I am hopeful to have GMK be the manufacturer and their CYL/Cherry to be the profile, but I didn't add the manufacturer primarily because I have yet to find a vendor.
But I will add GMK and profile to the post because that is what I am aiming for. And the base set colors are GMK keycap colors.
Thank you!

« Last post by nescio on Tue, 16 December 2025, 10:51:41 »Regarding "build quality", it seems to me that any of the large companies like Logitech would be able to completely crush anyone competing with them, because they have the resources to hire people full-time and have a million dollar electronmicroscope to do material science, etc.
So, the most likely hypothesis from that worldview is that all those small companies built by hobbyists are basically just producing expensive waste.
Can anyone explain why this isn't true without accusing me of being a troll?
I might be biased, but bigger companies almost always do have better people on the payroll.

Keyboards / Re: What is best latest TKL keyboard kit I could buy?
« Last post by HungerMechanic on Tue, 16 December 2025, 10:07:33 »Be careful with that Tiger Lite. Mine has an F-row that won't secure switches. So the F-row is basically inoperative.
I think these budget kits, especially what's coming out in the last few months, might be compromising too much in order to keep the price down.
It may be why boards like the Neo80 are so popular. I don't hear about too many issues with them. I almost bought a second one during a recent sale.
As you say, it's important to stick with the fundamentals. If the stabilizers aren't tuned right, then it doesn't matter the cost of the board.
