Looks awesome, but the color seems a little tricky to match.

Hi! Just wondering, why doesn’t GMK Deathly Queen have a regular Base Kit with standard Latin legends?

I'm for the alt Latin alphas kit. The Katakana sublegends are the signature of the set, but two people here have already asked for plain Latin, and a clean option would keep them in. I'd rather see it offered properly than as an afterthought.

Glad this one is moving again after all that time. The purple and katakana combo is what caught my eye first, it looks a lot bolder in the Rikia renders than I expected. I do touch type without looking much, so the katakana-only base is the one thing holding me back a bit. A Latin alphas kit down the line would probably sell me on it. My current board is a plain black 65 percent, so this would be a big change for me.

All in

EDIT: WAIT, NO LATIN ALPHAS KIT?

Although the main base kit will not be latin because the katakana is a core part of the inspiration, given the interest in latin alphas, I'll get working on a latin alt alphas kit, expect some news about it in a bit 

I'm in the keep-it-in-base camp. $3 saved for TKL buyers against $27 more for numpad buyers is a bad trade. Small thing though: the chart measures GMK against TKL Base kits and the other profiles against TKL Mod kits, so the 21% vs 42% comparison isn't quite apples to apples.

There is also a lot of Numpad take rate variation between sets with TKL Base kits.



Maybe some variation between manufacturers too? The sample size is arguably too small, but:
   GMK average: 19% (4 sets, 10% min ~ 30% max)
   KKB ave: 23% (4 sets, 15 ~ 30%)
   DCS ave: 29% (7 sets, 20 ~ 38%)

Even produce prices are insane in my area. $2.99 for a non-organic cucumber? $4.99 for a bell pepper??? And just forget about fruit, looking at $8.99 for a small container of blueberries!

Just about the only things still affordable are bananas and potato
