I know you've already gotten plenty feedback here and on the IC form, but please add a Blank base kit. This materiality would look phenomenal without legends.

Fingers crossed.
Yes Cosmos blanks will be an option

With this low MOQ is it possible to split international kit into ESFR on the one side and NORDEUK on the other ?

1.5 Supers in the base. You’re a GD saint. Hope to see this as a trend moving forward.

Very bummed to see that there are no R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn keys for 65% compat included anywhere in the set. Somehow I'm only just noticing this now. This is one of very few GMK sets that I've been interested in lately, but this is almost a deal-breaker. I guess I could settle for a full right column of blanks... but it's a shame nonetheless.

I too am surprised you’re barely seeing this given your track record lol. Your comment makes it sound like there is no 65 compatibility. I mostly use 65s and imo all the keys needed are in the base kit. For the right column on 65s/75s I typically go R1 Home/Delete, R2 PgUp, R3 PgDn, R4 Fn/End. If I have a top right blocker/badge 65, then sans Home/Delete. If it’s a 65 with a 2u blocker like Think65 variants or similar, then I use whatever keys available since that is such a weird layout. On top of that, we can always remap keys to whatever we like, even if one or two caps don’t match what’s under the hood. Furthermore, Cosmos is a very low contrast set where the legends shouldn’t be deal breakers. I also offer the blanks kit to cover anything else. You can even fill that right column with artisans. I promise I tired to cover all the bases and make as many people happy.

Were the keys I mentioned included in an earlier draft of the kitting? I could swear I took a gander when you first posted the IC, was like “set looks great”, even told a few friends about it — only to come back yesterday and see that they're missing. :P It's quite possible that I mistook some other two R3/R4 keys for my beloved PgUp/PgDn, given the low visibility of the legends (especially back when the colors were flipped). And yeah, you're right, it won't be that noticeable, and blanks are always an option. I'll live.

By the way, the reason why I'm such a big proponent of that particular right column setup is that I always use split Backspace on everything. In that case R1 `~, R2 Delete, R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn just makes too much sense, and it's what I've been using ever since I got into the hobby (65% being my daily driver layout for most of that time). I did this little analysis a few years ago, and back then it was super popular. It would be nice to redo that analysis with the updated qmk_userspace repo and see how usage trends have evolved over the past 3 years; I might get around to that sometime soon.

Anyway, don't mind me. Keep it up, looking forward to the GB. :thumb:

I’m blind or two of the three keys needed to make BAE work are missing. 1u R1 backspace to compliment the existing R1 backslash/pipe key (my preference), and/or R4 backslash/pipe key. Need one of the two. Also love BAE. :)

BAE has physical support. Plus you can already barely see the legends so in use that is an insignificant issue. As someone that loves BAE, I see no reason to add an extra key that you won't even be able to read for the sake of it.

Back in July there was an ALT option for textured black keys and iridescent blue or red characters. Is this no longer an available option?

Those were just some samples that GMK had but the goal was always to have multicolor iridescence.
