now's the time

Now is the time indeed.

THRILLHOIAF hasn't been on Geekhack since October 2024. Anyone here want to take the reins?

EDGE_CASE looks perfect. Adding alphas means I don’t need to get the Base as well.

It'd be nice if the light blue 2.25u "End of Line" enter key were included in the edge case, but otherwise yeah it's pretty great. 

8 February 2026 Update

Hi lads, I appreciate the support and contact that you fine folks have made to me on other platforms these past few months to see how the set is going, but unfortunately I have some disheartening news to share with you all.

The first item to share is that nearing the end of last year, I had lost all my work relating to kitting renders, and I have since spent my spare time rebuilding those from scratch. I am not a blender expert by trade, and it takes time for me to work on these renders because it's quite a different software compared to the programs I am used to working with. On the flip side, I was able to get kitting to be closer to USD 150 for both base kits at retail price, but have not been in active communications with Signature Plastics since early January. As for the accent 2.25u END OF LINE key mentioned by jyap and tavapataor, that is something I will have to ask Melissa about in the future.

As for the second item to share, I am placing the group buy on hiatus until further notice following some current events in my life making my housing situation insecure. I wanted to be in a position to be able to help make MoQ for the set, but unfortunately I no longer feel safe in my own residence, so I'll be taking steps to ensure my safety and comfort before I can return with any further developments on the keyset.

I apologize for this development, but I'm also somewhat glad that I was able to do this before the GB period, seeing that I would prefer to be available to help vendors during that time.

Best of luck to you lads that are also going through some stuff, we're all gonna make it o7

And I’d prefer icon+text mods, but text-only is fine too.

Hmm. Perhaps backspace could be "Stand fast!" and enter "For the Enteror!"? Too punny?

Honestly this is something we've thought about we just weren't sure if we should have any references in the base kit since a lot of people who've shown interest in it so far dont even know what its based off of

Update on Feb 8th
1. Remove 6.25u Space bar from Alpha kit, add some 1U mod for hhkb.
2. ISO UK Kit add on.
3. Three Deakmats,two large size(90*40cm),one small size(suit for 60/65%).
4. Group Buy Launch: February 10, 2026 (GMT+8)
    Group Buy Period: 1 Month(Ends on March 10)
    Shipping Timeline: Starts within 3 months after the group buy closes.

So an update on the DSS 40s kit- I am working with Kenny at Sabrekeebs to bring DSS Distortion 40s to Group buy-  It is looking like it will be $100 usd +/- 5 dollars for a fairly comprehensive DSS set, with the kitting shown below.



For the GMK kit, the IC continues apiece, with a lot of positive feedback on the design.
