maybe I can run a 40s add on similar to how we did it for 9009
Feels like forever since the last update! Kits are pretty much final, here they are:
Core Kit
Extra Kit
Also, for those that did not see it, the list of vendors is final:
- EU: MyKeyboard.eu
- States: Kono.store
- Asia/rest of the world: zFrontier
Time to put money aside folks, this is happening for sure

Just to clarify this a bit, the changes made to the kit are as follows:
Moved both 6u spacebars to extras kit.
Added R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn to Base for 65%/75% support.
Added R2 Esc, R3 1.25u tab, and R3 1.75u Return to Extras for JD40 / JD45 compatibility.
Hope this helps!

Heya everyone!
We trimmed the core kit a little bit to bring the cost down a little more. Here is the final design of the core kit:
With that finalized, we also have the prices for all three vendors:
| Vendors | Base kit (MOQ 150) | Compatibility kit (MOQ 150) | RAMA X/O | RAMA Laser-etched X/O |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MyKeyboard (EU) | 132€ | 37€ | 42€ | 44€ |
| KONO | $140 | $40 | $36 | $38 |
| zFrontier (Asia) | $140/$155 | $40/$45 | $36 | $38 |
1/ Please note that all their prices include shipping whilst that is not the case for other vendors.
2/ Prices on the left are for China, prices on the right are for the other countries (price difference explained by the difference in shipping costs)
Also, there will be different price drops depending on the MOQ we hit, so talk about the set to your mom, your cat, your neighbors, the pope!

I think you chose well removing those extra caps. The base kit price is quite reasonable.
For anyone wondering, the following caps were removed:
- R1 white 1u Esc, F5, F6, F7, F8
- R3 black 1.75u stepped Control
- R4 black 1u Ctrl, Alt, Fn (1 of each is still remaining)
- R4 black 1.5u Code ×2
Even though it’s barely visible in the new render, the 7u spacebar is still there.

Oh yeah the 7u spacebar is not going anywhere. I don’t know why some of their render are on a white background, some are on a transparent one… ^^’

With the changes. The core should still be sufficient for the IC Kira keyboard and the Massdrop CTRL keyboard, correct?
Sorry if it appears as a double post, When I changed my username it says some posts might be broken so I deleted the initial reply, changed my username, then posted another reply.

You should be good for both the Kira and CTRL as far as all standard 96-key and 65% layouts go.

noooo
I wanted this set for my RAMA M60. Now I will have to get some other keyset.
Those caps ^^^ are essential for HHKB layout.
HHKB layout requires row 3 1.75u Control key, row 4 1.5u Alt.
You are correct though removing the Fn 1u and no appropriate 1u super/code keys makes it a non buy for me too.

I would recommend asking a moderator to remove the message by @Marutks then, because it is misleading.
Heya! Could you please remove this message please? 
we didn’t remove all the 1u ctrl, alt, fn keys, we just went from 2 to 1. And while it is true that we do not offer 1.5u Code keys in the core kit, we still have 1.5u alt and control keys so your message is a little misleading. We still cover the M60 layout just fine
your render of modern 0110 shows TWO 1.5 u Super keycaps and TWO 1u Alt keys
Not to be a dick, because we are discussing the potential reintegration of those keys in the core kit, but it’s a render, and the fact that it displays those keys and they are not in the kit anymore doesn’t mean that the kit is not compatible with the board anymore. I mean, had the render pictured two ALT Keys, I am pretty sure we wouldn’t have that discussion right now.
Quick updates for you guys!
Mark your calendars, we are excited to announce that GMK Monochrome is launching on September 1st!
We wanted to thank you all for the support you’ve shown and we really hope you will love the end result!
Pictures of the Alpha artisan to follow really soon (I’m actually waiting to get them to take some shots haha)
