Hi!We’re excited to share a fresh take on a legend.
✍️ Designed by KEI, Crafted by Keykobo

Keykobo Dolch Cadet is a collaborative project between designer KEI and manufacturer Keykobo.

It reimagines the classic Dolch palette with a subtle twist—adding modern contrast, sharper legends, and advanced manufacturing techniques while keeping the soul of Dolch intact.

Well, I'm in love. I don't need more caps, but I need this.

You better add stepped R4 1.5 Caps Lock and LED Caps Lock instead of Windows logo!!
Also needs ICON TAB for AT layout
Numpad R4-R4 Plus, R3 Minus, R2 *

KKB finally offering 10u Spacebars

I do admire your attempt to make more lite kits such as Alpha that could offer a cheaper option for 60% users, but having R2 1.5u BKSPs without R3 1.75 Control was kinda meaningless, it could be neither or both

Base Kit

Numpad Kit

R1 End, PgDn can be moved from the base kit to the numpad kit, as those keys are only ever used in layouts with numpads, such as 1800/CP and 96-key. Also, double 1u Ctrl is not useful outside of 40% boards. Therefore, I suggest moving R1 End, PgDn to the numpad kit, and dropping the second 1u Ctrl from the base kit (or moving it to 40s).
In their place, I suggest including R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn for full 65%/75% support, as those keys aren't currently present in any kit. Also, I agree with the previous posters that mod tilde/backspace should be added too.

Dark Alpha Kit

I don't think this sort of support will be useful even for 60% users since it still lacks many important keys. It might work, but a more ordinary alpha kit would be cheaper.

Extensions Kit
(Attachment Link)
It might be a good idea to add red arrow keys to the extensions kit since they're not present in base.
Conversely, I don't think you need that many Windows logo keys.

So based on the Discord thread, it’s already in production, and kitting is finalized. This is more of a GB post than an IC.

Such a shame.

Nice, and I like the deskmats, Dolch sets pretty much never include them. Hopefully still time for some changes: the computer on deskmat A ("Dolch Pac 486") should have a screen showing MS-DOS or Windows 3.1, not Windows 98. It even says MS-DOS/Windows 3.1x at the top.

Any UK-ISO Keys for this Keykobo set? Seems us users got shafted on the latest NK Version of GMK Dolch when they just said buy Oblo's set which doesn't cover us.
