Did you seriously move ISO support to the international kit? You guys are a joke.
I missed the R1 of this set and I love the colours. I really want to join this round, but moving ISO to a separate kit is strange given that a lot of people have been adding UK ISO to the base. I think you need to look at your kitting again, for everyone.
ISO: The alternative would be to put us/terminal ISO in base. This would provide physical compatibility, but you would lose the expanded support for nordeuk etc. I am open to this idea, but would prefer that users have access to their preferred aesthetics. Let me know your thoughts!

You're not listening to anyone in this thread.
- B in base is useless without the subsequent shifts to at least cover alice style layouts. Keep b in base, add shifts, or add the alice bars into base.
- You have excluded F13 so we would need to buy a whole kit for one single key, that is more and more commonly in use
- Not having UK ISO in base is okay, I guess - but you should absolutely (at the very least) support the ISO layout.
It's clear you are reading feedback on the IC, but at this point it is a cashgrab, you are selectively kitting to try and maximize kits sold. Base should cover the majority of layouts, and leaving out ISO completely is not something that should be taken lightly. Please consider changes, as you have already done so.
B in base: The extra "B" key in base kit does
NOT change the price of the base set, it allows for Alice support if you add the following child kits:
- Accent Kit
- Extension Kit
- Fourties Kit
This makes more sense than adding an extra "B" to each of those 3 kits.
ISO: See reply above.
F13 not in base: F13 is included in the extension kit, which supports extended 65+ cluster, Alice/split bars, Terminal/Mac users. F13 is also included in the Mod Kit.
Wow now I’ll end up with two base kits in addition to getting the lighter mod kit. Ughhh. I was originally planning to get one base kit and the Hangul with the lighter mod kit. It would of been nice if Hangul was combined with the lighter mod kit to have something different, kinda of like having Olivia light and Olivia dark kits.
Are you trying to cover 2 boards? If so, the previous kitting of the Hangul child kit does not have punctuations, numbers, nor F-row keys. You wouldn't have been able to achieve this.
I'm a bit confused reading the edited first post because there is a "More" button under most of the images. Does this mean that there will be both a Hangul Kit and Hangul Base Kit offered? Or is it only the top version that is updated and the one in the expanded view can be ignored?
Photos listed in the "More" section are previous proposed kits. They have been left there for reference and progression.
People asking for basic iso support in base and in return you put it in international amazing job. Now people who want hangul base are forced to buy international kit. This so called IC seems more like a copy paste of kits put up by dixie with dualshot r2 where the same thing happened. Hopefully that's not the case...
I don't believe this is the voice of all ISO users. We have received a spectrum of request on ISO support ranging from: basic iso to international kit.
Wondering if the 1 u backspace could have the text + icon instead of just the text. I know it's niche but having the rest of the 40s mods with text + icon but a 1 u backspace with text only stands out. Also since the enter key has both text and the icon, I figure it should be possible but please correct me if I'm wrong.
This should be possible. I believe other sets have done this before and this change can be done after verifying in the next kit update.
Argh, now I have to pay way more for UK keys. Oh well, better than nothing and has the accent that a lot of other kits miss out.
Is it possible for 2x 1.5u Supers + 2x 1u alt in r5 since they're in ext kit?
This is a pretty big ask. I will consider moving these keys to R5 from the Extension Kit. Maybe.
Please consider adding stepped Ctrl for the extension kit. I have plenty of hhkb boards and other 60-65 % that use stepped Ctrl. Come to think of it all my setups are mostly stepped Ctrl since capslock is something I don’t use. Thanks.
I will consider dropping the windowed keys in replace of a stepped control. However, if we opt for a bigger base kit, it may push the Extension Kit to be dispersed into Base and Accent/spacebars.
P.S. Let me try revised kitting based on the original group buy kitting. I appreciate all the feedback and interest! I'll be back later with more updates
