Hello,

I'm pretty noob on this matter, so please be nice

I own a Vortex ViBE ISO-FR, and will buy ASAP a Vortex Tab 90M ISO-FR. What would be the kit combo so that I could change the keyset on those keyboards?
I'm guessing: Calc+Baguette+Alpha+Modifiers, but I'm not sure about Specialities.

the vortex ViBE ISO-FR can be seen here: https://gamers-industry.com/wp-content/uploads/vortex-vibe-05.jpg
I don't have a pict for the Tab 90M with ISO-FR, here is ANSI Tab 90M: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/images/products/large_Tab90M_main.jpg
and here is probably a prototype of ISO-UK Tab 90M (second keyboard):
https://scontent-cdg2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41779184_1900523760015325_2511121757105029120_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_oc=AQm8WOnjCEn26rWJf0kZL2xNpYWyQdQlESeLAgYsLWA-gwoUCdTC43Wolhqi-Oi5nEE&_nc_ht=scontent-cdg2-1.xx&oh=8115313de41b53a2600e6ae6408bb62c&oe=5E084CD4

Vibe requires alphas + mods + calc
And you can add specialties (and spacebar kit if you use split spacebars) for the second one.

A lot of people use katakana/hiragana etc because it's good looking, whereas a very small amount of people use dvorak etc.

Totally make sense to me

Baguette kit > all

I think baguette moq goal should be corrected on CandyKeys. Maybe that will attract more people if they know goal is reached.

Btw : moq progression is across all proxies or just for CandyKeys ?

usually its combined - candykeys sales are live updated and the other sales are added every 1 - 3 days

I think that even now every kit would be produced anyway - but until end of september sales will be overwhelming

€dit: from candykeys website Above you can find the progress of all Kits, they are updated automatically with EU purchases, and World-Wide Purchases are updated every day on top.

Very tempted, it's a beautiful set... I ordered the MT3 Serika a few weeks ago too. Never tried KAT or MT3 so I'm a bit hesitant to throw down money for two sets with profiles I'm not sure I'll like

Propan-(x)-ol will not affect most thermoplastics. Even short-chain glycol ethers won't. THF will. Ketones will.

Hell-es · « **Reply #32 on:** Thu, 05 September 2019, 14:46:43 »

Thanks, thats what I thought - yeah, from experience, i would never use Acetone or THF with plastics.

Just wanted to know if anyone has more experience here - as organic chemistry is some years in the past...

Question: I am planning on putting this on a RAMA 80U-A or a Square 80. Forgive my ignorance I'm still getting into the custom board game and this will be the first kit I have purchased that it so piecemeal. I'm thinking I will need Alphas, Modifiers, and Specialties to cover the board. Am I missing something else? Mostly looking for a temperature check I'd hate to buy and realize I'm missing the correct Tab key or something...

I have attached images of board layouts.

The keycaps are opaque - you'll be able to see the RGB between caps, but won't see it through the caps.

I'm fairly new to keyboards, I now have a massdrop alt with zilent v2 67g switches. Would this KAT profile be good on this keyboard? I really like it

what i'm really worried about is the pg up down home keys etc not lining up and looking odd on the right end
