Interest Checks / Re: [IC] GMK MTNU Honeywell | $99 Base Kit?!
« Last post by newzealot on Tue, 30 June 2026, 00:58:25 »As a newbie to the hobby that started 3 months ago, i always wonder why the base kits do not consist of only the standard TKL.
Meaning a rectangle from the Esc key to the right arrow keys. All the other keys below that and the F13 key should be moved out to another kit.
If you want to have the unique red backspace and any key, why not just incorporate them into the base kit directly instead?
That would totally make sense if your aim is to have the lowest cost MNTU base kit. It might even hit $79 base kit that way.
In fact, why not take that idea further and do without the 6.25U spacebar row. I would be interested to know the weightage of 6.25U users versus 7U users. Are they equally split? Or only 10% of users are 7U users?
