While I understand paying homage to the original GMK Signal, personally, I am not a fan of the Mac bottom row mods in base, but the icon mods for R1-R3 and the Shifts (and split right-shift) are fine. Given that, an Alt Mods kit appeals to me. That said, I can't wrap my head around what the Alt Mods kit in it's current state is trying to do. If the intention is as named (provide alternate mods for the people that don't vibe with the icon mods), there are some swaps needed. I prefer the standard legends instead of the signal-themed ones as those feel more like novelties to me.

Assuming utilization of standard legends, you can strip the current Alt Mods kit of the following:

• Accent and non-accent R1 Esc keys: already in base
• F5-F8: already in base
• R2 mod/pipe: already in base
• ZXC with date sublegends: would be a better fit in the novelties kit IMO
• F13 and R1 Delete: already in base

You could then replace those removed keys with the below, bringing the alt mod offerings to parity with the base kit and allowing someone to swap all the icon mods to standard text+icon:

• R3 1.75 Control and Stepped Control
• 2x R4 1.5U Super and 2x R4 1U Alt
• R4 1U Control
• R2 Backspace

While on the topic of carving up kits, what are your thoughts about splitting the mini bars, extra B, and accent bars from the current Extension kit into a standalone spacebars kit? If you split the bars out, you could keep the existing shinethroughs, 40s support, and nipple homing, and then add maybe BAE and XT column macro keys to the extension kit?

judging from the results from the ic currently and my own preference, mods in base probably wont change. as for the alt mod kit, it is split exactly 50/50 rn so ill make a decision later. if it does end up going towards normal text plus icon i can trim it since the mods wont be special molds anymore. i also dont want to split up spacebars to another kit. dont want to have to deal with another moq to reach

Followed this on Discord. But in the extension kit, the original 1.5u Enter turned into a 1.25u Enter in this post. Not sure if that was intentional. 1.5u is definitely standard; any 1.25u is just a bonus for 40s

Approximate weight: 8 kg, or approximately 15 kg with the optional internal weight

I dunno, 15 kilos is a bit on the light side considering that I kill zombie elephants for a living. Can I get it with custom tungsten weights?

Don't be worried; we have a special FULL COPPER edition, which is around 30 kilos. I hope it can at least help you get the first hit in on a zombie elephant.

That makes me strangely happy. I'm only worried since I like to bring new keyboards sometimes to show them off. Also, can we call this the "2H Keyboard of Giant Strength + 2 (after some time)"?

Seriously, though, this is one great project, no pun intended!

These are potential child kits that I have sent to SP for quotes. I’ll keep you guys posted.
