Necroing this, since the GB post has been pending for a while, and doesn't look like it'll be approved anytime soon. The Round 2 group buy is live now, and runs through October 18, 2026. The kitting has been tweaked, and the mod color slightly changed to hopefully improve the legend crispness. There are new options for LED keys and a blue 10u bar, as well as minor legend changes (diamond mods replaced with Super, Win keys use the 3.1-era logo instead of XP, etc.)

You can see kitting renders, color chip comparisons, and more at the KeyAtlas listing.

Round 2 Vendors:
CN: TypistClub
EU: KeebSupply
OCE: Toro Studio
KR: GeonWorks
SG: IlumKb
UK: ProtoTypist (bases sold by PT include UK keys)
US: Divinikey

One thing I’d check is whether the issue follows the key/switch or stays with the same position on the PCB. That can quickly tell you if you’re dealing with a switch problem, socket/contact issue, or something on the board itself. A quick reseat and cleaning can also be worth trying before replacing anything.

I don't think it's impossible to include the cream mods in the cream base, but it would increase the price of all kits unless the alternative accents were removed from both Base O and C. As is, the cream mods in Base O are pulled from the cream batch that make up Base C, while the orange mods in Base C are pulled from the orange batch that make up Base O. If we were to make Base C all cream, then Base O would have to be all orange, unless they re-ran some production batches just to make the alt mods and include them in both batches. But re-running some batches means more production, which would increase prices.


The only other way to reduce the production batches and create all the keys that you want would be to re-do the molds to double-up on mod keys, thus creating the extra mod keys that you want to place in the other set. But re-doing molds would also increase costs. This seems to be a limitation of the molds being used to create KBS sets.



So basically, it's all orange and all cream or the current mix that we see. That's how I interpret the situation. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
