I'm starting to think the right approach for this would be to offer two Base Kits: a TKL Base Kit targeting around $99, and a Grand Base Kit targeting around $150, without any child kits.

That way, people can simply choose whichever Base Kit best fits their needs, and everyone's happy.

I'm not entirely sure yet how MOQ is handled when a set offers two Base Kits during the group buy, but I assume the starting MOQ would be higher than usual. If that's the case, the set would need strong vendor support.

Anyway, I just wanted to share the idea with you. We'll see how it evolves in the future

For this configuration, I recommend at least one child kit: 40's Mods. Because some people who don't need Numpad also don't have standard TKL boards. Or are you already planning a "Grand TKL" kit that covers smaller boards?

A dedicated 40% child kit in 2026 for an MTNU set? That's blasphemy, lmao.

Jokes aside, the Grand Base Kit would obviously include between 3 and 6-keys 40s support (most likely 3 to 4), just like we've seen with most recent sets.

Yeah I don't think it makes any meaningful difference other than a full size takes up way more desk space - especially if you're a masochist like me who likes to daily drive vintage tanks. I've always used a slide out tray though so it's never been a problem. Definitely been steering myself away from the numpad as of late however, having been working on laptops more frequently.

Though I have grown to appreciate the AT layout a bit more with how "centered" it is, but god forbid I ever need F11 or F12 lol

Tried watching this year's leaderboard.

Eye-Roll galore, wth is going on.

Barely making it through 2 episodes of this stuff.
