※ Do you consider the colours/font/icons/kits final?
No. We are open to suggestions.
Feedback is greatly appreciated and welcomed, so please check our IC form, where we are seeking answers to multiple specific considerations we had in mind. Although we may feel that some factors are pretty close to our final goals, we will change course if there is significant consensus and/or expertise opinion regarding feasible adjustments.
※ What languages are the Alien text?
First off, "I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords"
The Alphas are based off a sci-fi TV show from the 80s called V. It is the language of an invading alien race called the Visitors who are reptilian humanoids.
The Modifiers are a different language in fact, and are based off the classic games Commander Keen and Minecraft.
Although there are many Alien languages we researched to potentially pick from, we ultimately picked what complemented each other, and also would not lead to IP issues.
※ Why so many kits?
The manufacturer Keyreative MOQ structure permits us to do so. As long as the overarching goal of the minimum number of keycap “units” sold for production is met, all kits will be made.
This approach should be applauded; giving those who enjoy using less popular layouts an opportunity to purchase a set for their favoured form. It also embraces the customizability spirit of this hobby, offering people their pick of legends for alphas and modifiers. So if you want your whole keyboard to be totally incomprehensible, that should be a readily obtainable goal.
We're still working on making our kitting correct, so let us know what we've forgotten!
※ Why a 60% only modifier kit? Also what about a 65/75% only kit?
There are many who prefer to fly with a smaller vehicle, yet despite their reduced footprint have to pay similar expenses for base modules they don’t need. So we’re eliminating the overhead cargo (arrows and TKL navigation keys), as an option, so it hopefully mean more credits for hologram modules and star charts. Unfortunately we couldn’t manage to do it for 65% and 75% users as there are too many R2-R4 navigation key variations to specifically cater to.
※ Will you support other languages?
Maybe, but unlikely. We already have a large number of kits, thus reluctant to add more alphas. However if you are really keen on something, let us know in the IC form and we will consider it. Also let us know what colour/pattern you’d like it in.
※ Will you do Modifiers with Icon and Text legends combined?
No. Reason similar to above.
※ Price estimates?
Too soon to say, please refer to previous KAT sets for a sense of price ranges, although there are multiple variables that would differentiate our final kit prices from theirs.
※ Will you consider making a particular novelty/desk mat idea I have in mind?
Maybe, but unlikely unless it is particularly interesting and feasible. We already have a large variety of novelties, thus we’re more interested in finding out what to keep and what to shed.
The likelihood of your idea appearing in this kit may increase if you send us a SVG file that you’ve personally illustrated, alongside written consent permitting us free use for commercial purposes
.
※ Will you collaborate with a certain Artisan/Cable maker I have in mind?
Potentially. Let us know in the IC form who you want. We’ll try our best!
If you’re a maker, please PM/DM us on Discord, or send an email to XXX@gmail.com
※ Do the Space Dog and Space Cat have names?
Yes, our spooce doggo is named Zeta Pup, short for Zeta Puppis, which is also known as the star Naos ("roaring bright one"). It is a blue supergiant, and one of the hottest, and most luminous stars visible to the naked eye.It has been extensively studied because of its rareness and relative closeness to Earth. Zeta is rare and close to our hearts.
Spooce Kitty is named Space Kat. Self-explanatory.
※ What about 1800 layout users? [i.e. R5 Delete, Insert, Home, End, Pg Up, Pg Dn]
We didn’t want to add extra keys/cost to the modifier kits for what we presume to be a super niche layout user base, so we’re making an executive call to keep them out from the Modifiers, F-row, and Numpad kits. Hopefully users can just supplement these missing keys with Novelties/Artisans instead. If there’s demand (complete Feedback Form), we can make a small 1800 layout users kit.
※ Which switch should I get?
Sir, this is a Wendy’s. People tell me that Box navies and jades don’t make sounds in space.
※ Where’s the nearest black hole?
Check your wallet
