KAM without homing kit?

KAM without homing kit?

well initially it wasn't that important to me, but after some explained it to me I have made a homing kit it will come in the next update once I get the novelties.

[Swishy]

Gb still on?

Of course, sorry that it is taking me a while to update everytime I am ready there is one more thing I change. I just updated the color for hopefully the final time and redoing all my renders. Thank you fo your interest though, very appreciated!

Would you share the Pantone codes you decide to go with?

So I have updated the post with the Pantones I am going with I will hopefully try to post picture soon turns out pictures are harder than renders!!!!

[GSPADE]

sorry we sneaked some pics of Artisan on Inta, but honestly have some better pics to come

[hottrout]

Thank you for UK ISO and the fully dark kits.  I am in for dark kit.  Love the colour.

[Drakenocas]

They're cute.

Aesthetic is dope. Up-to-the-minute 40s support for QAZ makes it a no-brainer

[hottrout]

It may have already been suggested but, I don't like the size of the font on the alphas, they are too large compared to the MODS.  The colourway is excellent but the large font makes it look slightly comic in my opinion.

Hi,

      This has been a concern of some, but this was a design choice that I made because I wanted to to feel older. I have reduced the alpha size by a lot and upped the mods quite a bit as well. Another factor is  all the mod legends are based on a 1u key and because of that the mods have to be smaller. I hope this helps you understand the decision, although at this point I won't be making any more changes to the size since everything else is based of these sizes.

Thank you for your feedback!

Thanks Swishy for that.  I am happy with the font size on the explanation given.  The update to the extra MODS, spacebars, THOCK caps and even the opener means I will probably end up buying the whole damm lot.  Really excellent work with the extras.  Love it all.

[clackeys]

This is looking pretty good!

Glad it cleared things up!😁

updated:
1. some kit render the nav Icons didn't match the text nav clusters, also the 40s had a little artifact issue due to 4 caps being on top of one another. It should all be fixed now.
2. I also made a simple kitting guide for those possibly confused by the kitting ( which is more than none)

I would like to make this clear since some people are confused about this, all the kits cover what's in the photo meaning Phat Mods covers 60-65(tsangan and standard bottom row included and some extra keys). While the 60-65% mods cover only what's in the photos and would need a bottom row to cover a whole board and nav cluster for a 65%. The second route is intended to be a cheaper option for those who know what board they will be putting it on, if you have any uncertainty then just get Phat Mods. With this being said I would also like to go over another thing I see people seem confused about the spacebars being in the Alphas instead of the mods the reason for this is, I have three alpha colorways and I would be forced to sacrifice some color variation in order to save cost on the mods kit, if I didn't have three different color alphas I would have put the spacebars in mods like normal.

[hottrout]

The guide is a good idea.  I lost the UK ISO kit and got worried until I found it across the alphas and Mods.  Great work, keep at it.

the spacebar is perfect

[Swishy]

the spacebar is perfect

Yes, yes it is!

In for a 65% kit and floppy artisan. Thank you for have so many targeted build options.

No problem, no point in designing a set if people can't use it!

[spindell]

Wonderful set, I will definitely order a few kits. That being said, the only thing that I find that would be an improvement is if it would be easier to tie the light blue more together with the other colours. I am thinking dark blue keycaps with light blue legends for instance.

That would be interesting, but with mizu talking up 3 colorways and KAT comet practically being that. I want to find a way for everything to be different from what has been done before.

The samples looking amazing!!!

Can’t wait to put this on a 40s board this set is perfect

I understand, still the set looks awesome and January cannot come fast enough!

That Thok artisan is an instant buy

GB is officially starting JAN 4!!!!!

[ideus]

Is the )9 key missing in the Norde sets?


and


The _- key appears to be redundant in the Norde set, as it is already available in the base one.

Yeah, add a key in, take one-off. Good, I thought that I was missing something.

Hi everyone,

I am rather new to MK but I really like this set and think about getting one for my Keychron K8 (TKL format). I'd go for the Alphas, Fn Row, Modifiers and the Norde layout, which should work?
 
I have seen this on other layouts as well, but what I am not seeing is the 3rd set of functions on some of the keys in the Norde layout. For example { is bound on the 7 key or the tilde sign between Enter and Ü in R3 when you press it with Alt GR, which is right to the spacebar.

I included a picture of what is printed typically/on standard keyboards (from the Keychron this case, but also ducky has the same prints on its 60% DUCKY ONE 2 Iso DE or cherry pbt international set from KPrepublic).
Is this standard for keycap sets to exlucde this (The KAT rust has the same layout as here) in order to not have too many keys or another reason?

Thanks for you help

Welcome to GH. Your question is legit, and its answer is that this set does not have tertiary legends—the ones you are missing—that for US ANSI do not apply, but for European layouts do. I prefer to have tertiary legends, but I can see the simplicity of the lack of them. Anyway, we already know where the AltGr legends are, hopefully. If you really need them, you may check other KAM sets in "interest-checks" that offers a Norde set with tertiary legends. Feel free to PM–me if you want to discuss this further.
