The second IC form is now live — just before the kitting is finalized!

Thank you for the feedback! I’ve actually already revised the kitting and requested a quote from SP
  • Would it be too much of a stretch to use an R4 Fn key instead of R4 End? In return, I’ll include R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn in the Extensions kit too(the original Extensions kit has been renamed to the Decorations kit)
  • As you suggested, I’ll likely go with Terminal ISO instead of a full ISO kit. However, I’m still debating whether to include it in the Base kit or the Extensions kit. I’ll get a quote from SP first and then discuss it with the EU vendor
  • I’m planning to move the mod-colored R1 1u `~ key to the Extensions kit, along with the matching R2 1.5u | key
  • I’ll also be adding a second 2.25u Shift key to the Extensions kit
  • The 40s kit will be revised as well
  • Lastly, the Windows keys have been part of the kit since R1, so I think it would be difficult to remove them entirely

  • It would be, because a lot of people prefer to put the R4 1u Fn on the bottom row instead of the right column. Also, a Home–PgUp–PgDn–End column is just as (if not more) common than *–Delete–PgUp–PgDn and Delete–PgUp–PgDn–Fn.
  • Keep in mind that 40s support also depends on there being a 1.25u Shift in the base kit. Splitting ISO off into separate kits is kinda inconvenient, plus you may have to add another 1.25u Shift to the 40s kit. Either 4-key terminal ISO or ISO-UK support in base is pretty standard among SP sets.
  • Looks like this base kit is going to be skinny af and the extension kit will have all the things people that don't use a wkl tkl actually want.
    ^
  • Re Windows keys: This set currently doesn't have 2× 1.5u Super and a second 1u Alt for Mac layouts, so maybe offer that alongside the Win keys? (I'd still drop the 1u ones, though.)

You’ll see that a lot has been improved in this second IC. Could you take a look? Please ignore the minibars in the What kit — they’ll be removed in the final version.

Hey, I actually have an r1 set and I’m missing a few keys. I was wondering if it’s possible to buy the specific missing keys?

SP might offer single keys after the GB as that is something they do often with their in house designed sets. It is expensive though, $5 a pop even for a 1u key. I learned this hard way filling out an incomplete set of DCS Midnight I acquired.
