For me to consider this set, it'd definitely need Alice support. But besides that, it is already banging, great job Hiney

In summary, these are the suggested changes for the JS kits:Add R1 `~ーAdd R3 #~むChange R4 \|む to \|ろChange R1 -_ほ to -_ほーChange R1 0(わを to have a large を sublegend

The last two are required to make even the ANSI layout correct, which should probably be a minimum bar, and as for the first three -- while they wouldn't go so far as to offer full support for JIS keyboards (which I would love, but unfortunately would require a much more extensive kit) -- they would at least allow for correct placement of alphanumeric and kana characters on JIS keyboards, meaning that only the punctuation is off. I believe the same is true of ISO boards, although I will defer to konstantin there as he has done more research on the state of kana input on non-JIS boards than I have.
Oh no - i need this now. BETA was life as a kid, too poor to buy VHS when my family bet on the wrong horse. Movie selection was so bad.

I completely agree that full JIS support would be amazing, I think it's in less demand that NordDe etc...

I'm tired of JP sets not properly supporting JIS like it should be. In therms of the set... Great colorway, probably going to be a buy. :) Can we also have some smaller spacebars? I think JIS should come with smaller spacebar for all the mods the layout has. That'd be a nice addition.I'm still a bit weary of the ETD of the set and the terrible QC though... but this looks great. Hopefully it'll look great out of production too!
Ok, i need this.
The set looks great, but, uh... Pardon me... You have a favorite cassette tape sleeve?
Any more renders planned? Would like to see what it looks like on a more realistic render of silver or grey.
Does the fact that this is stock colors mean that this can "jump" the current GMK wait time?

I do not think it will "jump" anything in the queue as those orders were placed before this one will be.
