Ooh. Combining down to two modsets would be a plus for me -
We're contemplating something like this:

Basically, combining TKL + Specialty and Ortho + 40's. This is better bang for your buck. Upgradability, etc.
Comments appreciated, as usual.
It looks like the 1U Fn key went missing. Could you add that to the TKL + Specialty kit?
Okay
Thanks. I still don't see it in TKL + Specialty, though I do see that it's in Ortho + 40's now.
Sorry, I haven't re-rendered the kits since your comment.
Just out of curiosity: does your keyboard require an extra 1u? or are you just not fond of the 'Data' key?
My most frequently used layout is a Tada68, which has a 1U Alt, Fn, and Ctrl to the right of the spacebar. I have a strong preference to have legends match the actual keys (or at least the option to do so), since having a function layer at all is a relatively recent change for me after decades of using IBM model Ms (full size and SSK). I suspect I'll be more forgiving of mismatched legends in the future, but for now it's helpful to have everything match.
I would think there'd be others using 65% and 75% layouts (or split shifts) that want a 1U Fn, but if it's just for me then don't bother; I'm planning on getting alphas, Tenkeyless + Specialty, Ortho + 40's, Numpad, and Novelties. I can get the 1U Fn out of the other mods (which I already want to give me some options on a SouthPaw 65% when it eventually shows up).
