Updated base kit and extension:
Base kit update:
  • Added R3 Stepped Control
  • Added R1 Esc

Extension:
  • Macro keys
  • 4x Relegendables
  • 2x 3U + 1U Split Space bars
  • Windowed standard/stepped Caps Lock
  • BAE
  • Windowed R1 Scroll lock with inverted color as well
  • Novelty ANSI Enter (might remove, not convincing 100%)


About International kits, still studying the IC Form to get % of each lang, as for now is DE and IT, all other languages sit just under 10%

I will remake keyboard renders to fix the icon+text instead of icon-only modifiers and also show windowed keys. (thank you for noting  :) )

Updated renders, fixed keyboard ones having wrong legends. Extension kit updated according to what came out from the IC form.

KBDFans added to vendor list  :D

International kits have not been made yet, statistically speaking there's no MoQ even combining NORDEUK + ESFRIT in a single child kit (unnecessarily expensive)

 :D

Also: I will be ordering a batch of single keycaps with my "K" logo as i did in the past with the reverse color scheme to test how reverse keys will come out. I'll try to have it by Clackyfest, MKIT and Mechanicon for those who will be at those meetups

Keebzncables also confirmed, just waiting for Geon.

GMK also sent me the invoice for reverse color keycaps so 100% going to have those for meetups to show off  ;D

Please consider replacing R3 1.75u stepped Control and/or R4 1.5u Caps Lock in base with R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn for 65%/75% support. There are already suitable replacements for those two obscure keys in the kit; whereas you can't really use R3 PgDn, R4 End if you're used to one of the other popular 65% layouts (see this old analysis of mine for more details).

Thank you for the analysis!

The kitting has been changed and updated during previous months based on what emerged on the IC form suggestions/request. Despite the form only got barely 200 entries, i couldn't find any requiring those keys and, the obscure keys are the one appearing on at least 25% of the entries.

I see the data is from 2021 tho, could it be different now?

As mentioned before, i ordered from GMK a batch of single 1U R1 keycaps with the reverse color. Those will be used as branded merch on my shop, meetups and events but they were an excuse to test how the contrast with Pantone Medium Purple-C makes the reverse keys readable enough.

I have updated the main post with new photos of both keys, compared to DY as someone asked how the Pantone matches with the standard GMK color.
