I've been working on the set a lot over the past few days and wanted to update you guys since I have made quite a bit of progress. After taking a lot of the feedback into consideration. I have updated alot of the proposed kits and added some.

Examples of some layouts: http://imgur.com/a/fj9HU
The kits! http://imgur.com/a/f4mws


The following changes have been made since my initial interest check.
1) Added symmetry to the 60% Mod Kits.
2) Fixed the font on the mods to be the same level.
3) Added a TKL kit for MatchaxM
4) Added CTRL to Tsangan Kit for TADA68 compatibility
5) Complete Numpad kit by adding homing and extra keys
6) Fixed some of the legends for Planck kit (still needs some tweaking) Don't worry final product will be centered... I promise
7) Added ISO, UK, and International Kits (will be split into 2-3 kits)
8) Added 40% Kit (Alphas+60%mod+40%kit should be compatible with at least Minivan, Minorca, JD40, JD45 etc) Please let me know if there are issues
9) Homing kit was added for Dvorak and Colemak Users
10) Ergodox kit was added for... Ergodox users. Will fix the bracket sizing inconsistency

The following things need to be done.
1) Framing kit for people who like to have their Function rows one solid color
*)Finalizing the few legend issues
2) Renders! (Should be done soon(tm))
3) Novelties! Drafting ideas including tea leaf, coffee bean, coffee mug with steam, cappuchino with a heart in the foamy area, glazed sprinkled donut with a bite taken out, tea kettle, that japanese symbol that someone mentioned
4) Further tweaks on kits if needed (add Sakura ESC key)
4.5) Adding a MatchaxM Green Planck set if there is interest
5) Turning dreams into reality!!
I always appreciate feedback but would also really like to get a good gauge of interest! If you like either Mocha or Matcha or both please leave a comment stating which.

I'm so in!

If I had one complaint/request, it would be that the alphas all come scooped and the homing keys are bumped ;) thanks in advance.

This is pure morning Zen. Seems like I now need to change my keyboards multiple times a day depending on what time it is.  :))

What all is going to be included in the international kit? My one request is that there's a 1.25 shift key included somewhere (one of my 40%s needs one.)

Potentially.... I'll see if I can make that into its own separate kit. Maybe

Comparisons between this and the interest check for DSA Sencha are pretty strong, down to the use of VAV green which seems to be a pretty crazy coincidence. Maybe join forces? Dollarkoin has some nice novelties proposed - the cup icon he has in particular would look better in the alternate brown theme you've chosen.

I really like the way you've arranged the kits - It's nice not to have to buy the 60 mods, which I'd probably never use. I would prefer to have the option for a single colour F row though - all brown for example.

Thanks for your insight. Ive added the single color F row. I made the kits this way to make it easier for people with non standard layouts. I may try and contact him but this set seems be be a good amount (this one is alot more muted and earth toned)

Really love these colors.  Might save me from blowing all my cash on a retro set.  This satisfies my brown needs.  Wait, I just realized I have brown needs.  That doesn't sound good  :eek:
