You're talking about an extreme fringe key (hack). I think people would rather see x2 caps lock (purse + german) rather than a hack key.
Yes, I agree. I'm going to sleep now (00:37 am here). The slightly updated base kit is rendering now, I still have to make some models for the windowed caps lock, scroll-lock and num-lock which I will do tomorrow. All kit design and renders should be done by tomorrow and ready to put in for another quote at GMK. There will be the base kit, a space bar kit with centre stem 6u, 6.25u and 7u spacebars in 3B and 3C and a kit with Windows 10 keys, windowed keys and the "purse" caps lock keys.
I'm working with KP to set up a Chinese proxy right now. Here's their store, as you can see they are already running a ton of stuff!

I just feel like Windows 10 keys don't make sense on a set based on a board made in the 90's and that a German style caps lock makes more sense for a set based on a board made in Germany
. Anyways, for those who want it, there still will be a (hopefully) affordable option.
As long as GMK doesn't take ages to reply this GB should be up in weeks time since kit design and renders will be done tomorrow, everything with the US and EU vendors is already set up and I'm in talks about the Asian proxy.
All by all, I hope that most people are going to be happy
I really am putting as much effort into this as I can. Thank you again for all your enthusiasm, support and feedback! I can assure you that I will do everything I can to make this GB as snappy and smooth as possible!
Good night
Edit: ooh and per request, I am also bringing the front printed legends back to the numpad!
