06.02.16 UPDATE SUMMARY



More

So, after getting lots of feedback here is my first update. I added a 6.5u spacebar to the base kit as to not alienate the corsair users (let me know if it should be in a different kit). I eliminated duplicate keys like the extra escape keys in the numpad kit and some keys in the homing kit. I gave an overhaul to the ergodox kit. Everyone's help with that is greatly appreciated, let me know if this kit is an improvement. I added more blanks to the kit but now i'm wondering if I should just have a blanks kit for those pink/blue keys (thoughts?). The bonus kit added a few new keys as well as absorbing keys from the eliminated gamer kit.The novelties kit added many more keys and I have many more ideas that I haven't added yet. I may be going a little crazy on this kit, so could I get some feedback on what you guys like/dislike so I can rein that kit in a bit. And I added my first render, thanks to my friend /u/B1G_B1RD THANKS EVERYONE! p.s. I also added a logo thing, seems like people do that.... So, after getting lots of feedback here is my first update.

06.11.16 UPDATE SUMMARY

P.S. The Ergodox Kit now has more 1u keys included with the standard 'HYPER' 'SUPER' and 'META' legends. I wanted to do sort of a unique one for the kit so I added 'ERGODOX.' There were a few other ideas I had like 'FRENZY' 'DOX' 'MIAMI' and a few other synonyms of the typical 3. Let me know if you have any other ideas for the legend on that 4th 1u key. Based on various comments most of the kits received an update. The Ergodox Kit has become the most challenging and I hope to hear more input on this latest update. The international kit was reduced to match the Hana International Kit, and redundant keys have been eliminated from the ISO Kit. A 2.25u shift key was added to Non Standard Kit to accommodate leopold and clueboard users, let me know if there are additional keys needed. New kits were added to the Planck Kit including 2u Enter and Shift keys. The Novelties Kit lost the green and orange keys and gained new novelties, please let me know which are your favorite and if there is a theme you think I should be following. Those were the more notable updates. As far as NEW KITS, I added a Windows Kit, a Blank Kit, an Alt Spacebars Kit and a Macro/VE.A Kit. Some one had asked to include two unusually sized spacebars for the VE.A keyboard and I discovered that that board actually has 10 macro keys. I decided to create a whole new kit thinking that macros might be interesting for more than just VE.A users. Let me know if I'm wrong and I can add the spacebars to the Blank Kit or something. I've also rearranged a few kits into new groupings. The Bonus Kit was becoming rather large to I split it up into a smaller Bonus Kit and an Accent Kit. The Accent kit contains all of the pink/blue keys that were included in the previous Bonus Kit. The Spacebar Kit was reduced to just 3u, 6.5u, and 7u spacebars and I'm envisioning them being sold individually during the GB. Thanks for reading and remember COMMENT, COMMENT, COMMENT I love hearing from everyone!P.S. The Ergodox Kit now has more 1u keys included with the standard 'HYPER' 'SUPER' and 'META' legends.

07.02.16 UPDATE SUMMARY

UNTIL NEXT TIME! Lots of kits have been switched up in this update. The main update though is the new Novelties Kit that has been revised according to the poll I posted and advice from this thread. I've reduced the number of novelties in the kit, added 1.25u novelty keys, and split them into 3 kits. There will be a black, pink, and blue kit. I did this because selling them all together would most definitely make the kit EXTREMELY expensive, and because I've also decided to split up the Accent Kit so you can choose the color theme of your board without having to buy extra keys. It was recommended to me that I split up the ISO and UK kits and I created an Alt ISO kit for now because I don't know if selling 3 of the return keys together will be too expensive, but I hate to leave out a major part of the accent kit for ISO users. Other than that it was just moving a few keys around here and there, changing the symbols on the Numpad Kit, nothing too crazy. I did add a fullsize layout to the mix just because I feel like they get a bit neglected and I think the layout with accents looks dopeUNTIL NEXT TIME!

First off, I'm sorry I haven't been responding frequently in this thread. Usually nothing gives me more pleasure than answering questions, but between work and moving I've just been super busy. This update is easy, LOOK AT THOSE BEAUTIFUL REDNERS! Special shout out to /u/Zambumon for making them for me. I have 2 kits I need to update, but then we're taking this baby to the MassDrop polls!

08.18.16 UPDATE SUMMARY

More

So now that we've made it through the Massdrop polling I'm focusing more on the efficiency of the kits. Looking at the Amazing Chocolatier drop, I realized it might be a good idea to split the alphas and mods in the base kit to make it cheaper for people with non standard layouts. The new kits are my first shot at splitting up the kits and some keys had to be added to some kits. Please help me by double checking my work! The novelty kits were expanded by a few more keys. I'm planning them being sold in 3 separate kits. I'll make sure to keep everyone updated if I hear any news. Until next time

We're in the queue! Now I'm just waiting on a more defined schedule and I'll continue to finalize the kits

Thanks Everyone This update may seem a little scary to some because of the way the kits have been chopped up, but I promise it's going to benefit everyone. After my last update to make the kits more efficient, I was pointed towards the DSA Overcast group buy. I don't know how I didn't use this as inspiration before, but it helped me change the way I viewed the kits. It may seem like you're buying extra because there are so many kits, but the new kits are very good at keeping people from buying keys they probably don't need. I'm typing on a 75% board right now and I have a bunch of extra keys sitting in bags next to me because I needed to buy a 25 key kit just to get 4 keys out of it to complete my board. I'm not claiming to have reduced the amount of extra keys to 0, but what extra keys you do have won't be excessive. Take a look at the DSA Overcast group buy if you want to see how the prices break down for similar kits if you want to get an idea of how much mine will cost. An important kit split to note is the Non Standard Kit has been removed, and broken up into the Whitefox, 65%, 75% Kit and Tsangan Kit. Please help me review them and let me know if there need to be any changes. When you're reviewing those kits you may notice the Whitefox novelty key. With the popularity of this board and knowing several people who bought one in the last drop, I asked Matt3o and got his blessing to use the Whitefox logo. YAY! I'm going to wait to hear if anything needs to be changed, then I'll be sending these kits off to SP to get some more sold kit pricing information. Have a wonderful Sunday!We're in the queue! Now I'm just waiting on a more defined schedule and I'll continue to finalize the kitsThanks Everyone

04.25.17 UPDATE SUMMARY

04.25.17 UPDATE SUMMARY

I have begun working with Massdrop to produce this set, and will be commenting with new info as I receive it. Thanks for the support everyone!This is a new render from /u/thesiscamper for the Massdrop email announcement that will be going out soon! After seeing seeing this new render, it really helped me better visualize how this set with look on a keeb, so there has been a slight COLOR CHANGE. Don't worry, I think this is for the best. The background on the mods will be changing from NN to GX. NN is a pure black color and I think it creates too much of a contrast between the mods and alphas. In sticking more closely with its Dolch roots, the mods will become GX (the original DSA Dolch mod color). For real life reference images, check out DSA Dolch to get a sense of the mods. For the alphas, take a look at SA Calm Depths.Thanks for the support, and keep an eye out for the Massdrop announcement coming soon!In the process of updating the kit colors. If any kits still have the black mods it just means they needed photoshop and I'm still working on it.Thanks!
