Hello, Mike from Keyboard Arcade here! We in the 40% community are working on a kit to add 40% coverage to the DSS Honeywell set, currently available at PrimeKB. If you’re interested please provide your feedback on the IC Form here. The GB is set to launch in the next few weeks over at Keyboard Arcade and we’d love for any 40% users out there, who want more DSS goodness, to join us.
We have quotes back from SP on 3 different kitting variations (See album below). More info to come!!

Note to International Buyers: PrimeKB does not currently ship internationally. Keyboard Arcade will act sort of as a proxy, for those GB participants who need a base kit from PrimeKB sent to them overseas. More precise details on that will be announced soon.

Nice!
I see 1.5u R2 Backspace in the fix kits, but it looks like that key is already in the original base?

The IC form is closed. This is the final candidate for the group buy. Most people went with the “medium” kit, so some adjustments were made to that one. We’ll be submitting for final quotes soon. Stay tuned for final details leading up to the GB launch (tentatively for next week).
Also, there’s a lot more discussion over in the 40% Discord. Head over there if you like to join in the discussion: discord.gg/40percent You’ll have to add a few roles, if you’re new there, to access the channel (#dss-honeywell-40percent-fix-kit).

1u Del keys is also a duplicate, so that’ll be dropped.
So I definitely would get this, though mostly for the ISO Enter as I’m still annoyed that the base set didn’t include it (or a R3 pipe, but I’m probably asking for too much there).

So this should be the final kitting before we hit GB status next week. I’ll be submitting this for revised quotes and then I will announce the rest of the group buy details in the next few days.
I know this seems quick to GB, but a lot of discussion has been going on on the 40% Discord server already (and also I like to move things along swiftly 
). More details to come!

Yeah, excluding ISO from the base kit is a little weird, considering the kitting seems intended for a fullsized layout. Either way, we have you covered with the ISO in the 40% fix kit. Sorry about the pipe key though

Hello everyone! Quotes came back and we’re going to be at $100 @ 50 MoQ. Also, I’m working out details on the nav kit with @Leviathan_Mech , which will be going for $15 @ 25 MoQ. The nav keys will be done in white (WFK) on black (NN). These colors will match up with DSS WoB as well as add a little contrast to Honeywell’s white/gray/red colorway (a pic in this post shows an old Honeywell terminal so you can get the idea). Manufacturing time is currently at 8 weeks. The Group Buy will launch this Friday.
As for the Group Buy timeline, this will be a 2-4 week GB. What that means is I hope to have our order placed with SP 2 weeks after the GB starts, so we can get this set in the queue. Based on numbers, as long as we are at buyout status for the 50 MoQ, we will “soft close” the GB phase and convert to a “preorder” phase for those who need more time. Whatever is left over in the 50 MoQ, will be sold as “preorder” until they sell out, or the final 2 (of 4) weeks is over. GB price and preorder price will be exactly the same (extras left over after fulfillment may be prices slightly higher). So in a way, it is a limited GB (unless for some reason sales blow up). I know it’s a little confusing, but the idea is that most people already know if they are joining, as they will or have already obtained their base kits. I also don’t really plan for this to be an “in stock” item after the GB closes.
Also, I will add an option on the store page for international customers who need a base kit from PrimeKB sent with their 40% kit (this will be priced at cost + shipping to me). Of course, all taxes, fees, tariffs, etc. will be the responsibility of the customer.

I know the GB is set to end Friday, but I think I’ll leave orders open over the weekend to give it a couple more days. 3 more kits and we can send it. Leviathan is buying out the Nav kit, so that is getting made too. Any hold outs left, please try to get in before I close it Sunday. Thanks to everyone for participating in this one!!

Thank you to everyone who joined during the group buy period. I have converted the store listing to a “Pre-Order” listing, which will remain up until all extras are sold out. Fulfillment is still expected for December 2025. I will be requesting an invoice from SP this week, so that we can get the set in the manufacturing queue. Also, those who needed a proxy for their base kits, I will be purchasing those this week.
Final Numbers:
Fix Kit 36
Nav Kit 9
