I guess not. I paid 70 for the GMK pulse Colevrak for that very reason.
Does Colevrak worth to have it? I meant, considering that I need Norse symbols myself I am in the same boat at different side; but, again, does it?
Good question. To me it does. When it comes to legends I could go two ways: novelty legends such as Hiragana, Rams, etc or accurate legends. I don't need the legends, but I don't want generic QWERTY when I don't even use it. Some keys would match, others would not. Does that matter? Logically no, but logic is not what dictates the drive of this hobby.
I want something customized which makes me happy to look at. GMK makes that very hard for ortho/Colemak DHm. I know, I could stick to regular 60% staggered QWERTY, but I care about ergonomics and comfort more than looks. To me, the end game is to have the best of both and there's no compromising for that.
So if I have to shell out $70 more for Colevrak, I do it. I know I'm a niche user. To me, it's worth it considering I don't build keyboards and shelf them for display. I use them daily. I curently have three Corne's. Two of which I want to be perfect.
If GMK Nord can cater to that, I'm going for it. If not, I'm keeping my eye out for other opportunities. That said, I'm very much inclined to support the alternative kit here. Maybe I'll just do something quirky like putting all legends in reverse. But that depends on the pricing.
