Interest Checks / Re: [IC] GMK MTNU Honeywell | $99 Base Kit?!

Are all these complaints on kitting serious? It's like we got all full size and alice users around the entire world here in this post. Come on, we all know this hobby revolves around TKLs and 60s (and maybe also 65s). Adding ISO accents then this base kit is descent enough. This will definitely be my first mtnu set if it really happens. GLWIC!

They're mostly made by vocal people who more or less belong to the same group. But we've got thick skin here, and we're happy to respond in kind.

The IC form currently shows that around 70% of people (and considering it was likely brigaded by some of these vocal people, the real percentage would probably be even higher) prefer a simple TKL Base Kit.

The overall kitting philosophy will most likely remain the same, but that doesn't mean I'm not listening to feedback that actually makes sense (rather than yapping from people who probably wouldn't buy the set anyway).

As I already mentioned in Matt3o's Discord server, the only additions I currently see worth making to the Extension Kit are:

- Accented ISO Enter (Enter legend)
- Two 3.00u 3-stem spacebars
- A second 2.25u Shift

The Base Kit will remain unchanged in order to stay around the ~$99 price point.

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?

That's exactly the approach I wanted to try with this set. The ~$99 range I mentioned is just indicative and can slightly change based on the starting MOQ the kits are going to priced to.

As for the 6.25U bottom-row: I also was questioning if 6.25U bottom-row is better to include in a limited TKL Base Kit than let's say an HHKB one. After talking with vendors who actually know what they are talking about from experience (not random yappers on the internet who can't control their mouth), 80% of buyers actually use a 6.25U bottom-row. We just don't see them much around on socials so that gives the illusion they are much less of a group of people than they actually are.

Thanks to both of you for commenting with good intention.

Hype! Hoping for Novelkeys for US vendor  :thumb:

I would be more than happy to have NK as the US vendor. They're a fantastic vendor for both customers and designers, and the main reason MTNU is still being run consistently today.
