Mods and kitting look great. Don't think the alpha's fit in at all with the rest of the kit however. The mods are super colorful and busy while the alphas are a dark, bland, grey and it throws everything off IMO.

I personally think the alphas fit in perfectly with the rest of the mods, it has that "lights off black lights on in a roller rink/arcade" look.

So awesome! My suggestion, add a 2u spacebar to the base kit. A number of Mito kits have started doing that, it makes it full ortho out of the box, and an instant buy for me.

Since there are only 10 r4 1u mods in base, 2x 2u or 2x 1u + 2u bars would be required to complete ortho support. That's a much harder ask than just one more key, but something I might consider as I tweak the kits!

forgive me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you use the nav mods, winkeys and fn to complete ortho (without the 2u space)?

No, unfortunately not: 2x super + 1 fn + 4 arrows + 3 decorations is only 10 keys when 12 are need if you want a single spacebar. See the Atlas renders for an example of how to layout an ortho board with the current kits.

UV printing finally getting the attention it deserves. Marvelous execution, too; and a catchy, meaningful name to tie it all together. Good job all around, Nathan.

As you mentioned, there currently aren't enough R4 1u keys for ortho support. You could move one of the R3 1u keys to R4 (I don't think you need three of them on R3). You could also technically move the R2 decoration/column key to R4 if you make some adjustments to the R3 keys' icons, but I don't think that's necessary. So you would just need to add one extra R4 1u key for complete ortho coverage, if I'm not mistaken. (In which case it'd even be technically supported with just the base kit due to the 2u numpad 0.)

Also, this R1 key: can probably be dropped since the PrtSc/Scroll/Pause keys already cover for it in all use cases, as far as I can tell.

Edit: I'm gonna play devil's advocate and say that if you add a 2u Shift (which I know you hate), along with implementing the R4 1u suggestions from above, you'll be able to say that your base kit officially fully covers all common 40s, ortho and 60% layouts out there :P

Thank you for the kind words Konstatin! That R1 key is there to support 1800cp layouts as I didn't want the 4 key block above the numpad to have one miscolored key.

As for the: 3 R3 1us, I do agree it's a bit much and it's probably the one part of the kitting I'm most uneasy about, but I wanted to have support for the increasingly popular extended 65% layouts

Ah, indeed, I see what you mean:



Have you considered that the most popular option for that 4-key block is usually Home–End–PgUp–PgDn (or any variation thereof), so users may not even have the need to use that key in conjunction with the Print–Scroll–Pause keys, as pictured above?
Or did you decide to keep the key in spite of this, in order to give users the option of picking between all red/green and all purple/green keys for the 4-key block?


As for the: 3 R3 1us, I do agree it's a bit much and it's probably the one part of the kitting I'm most uneasy about, but I wanted to have support for the increasingly popular extended 65% layouts

If that's the goal, then the decision to include that key does make sense :) Yet, I do still think that it's worthwhile to try and find a way to squeeze those extra two R4 1u keys in for ortho users (especially since it's so close).

Can someone educate me on how UV printing compares to dye-sublimation and laser etching?

Not quite, both red/ green and green/ purple need to exist in order to support standard 1800 layouts, which have 10 r1 1u navigation keys.

As for the: 3 R3 1us, I do agree it's a bit much and it's probably the one part of the kitting I'm most uneasy about, but I wanted to have support for the increasingly popular extended 65% layouts

TBH, I'd rather complete 40s support (R2 1.75, R3 1.5) before making ortho just a *bit* easier

Oh wow this is a really cool project! How does UV printing compare to say dye-sub?

Obviously neither are as comparable to doubleshot with regards to longevity and clarity, but are there downsides to this?

I like the contrast between the busy mods and the calm alphas. Really like the color choices you made, but wondering what the prices will be. I reckon you'll get some great vendors on board that makes it possible to base the price at a higher MOQ to make it affordable! I really like this!  :thumb:

In at any price. You know how I feel about this set, brother, and I hadn't even seen three of the deskmats before yesterday. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Truly excited for you and for the community. This is advancing the realm of the possible for all designers.

Oh wow this is a really cool project! How does UV printing compare to say dye-sub?

Obviously neither are as comparable to doubleshot with regards to longevity and clarity, but are there downsides to this?

personally i have had very negative experiences with GMK's UV printing but that was on alphas and not mods

it's definitely the reason i am staying away from this set

Where's that picture of Hiney's shined Grissean with the UV-Printing still intact when you need it
