Looks great! IDK if I’ll be able to justify spending money on another keycap set so soon since I’ve gone way over my hobby budget the past couple of months, but I really don’t want to miss out on this. I really love the way the “weirdos” came out on the previous run, guess I’ll just have to wait for pricing info.

Also, just in case anyone was as confused as I was about KAT profile:

And there’s more info about the profile over at Kono: KAT Alpha Keycap Set — Kono Store

Ah, dang, you had to go release this in a non-uniform profile. Walp, better start budgeting

Azzlack · July 31, 2019, 1:34pm

Take my money, I’ll be ready for the GB

Q: Could you add this button the Intl kit?

violetviceroy · July 31, 2019, 1:37pm

I am so excited for this set. KAT has become my favorite profile. I got the KAT Alpha kit when it dropped and I dont even want to go back to cherry. I just hope the costs arent in PMK territory

pixelpusher · July 31, 2019, 1:38pm

exciting stuff. Looking forward to owning a KAT set

macclack · July 31, 2019, 2:06pm

So in! I love KAT profile regret never jumping on Milkshake

bobgr8 · July 31, 2019, 2:26pm

Please add 2.00u right shift in the base kit, or any other kit, as it’s missing completely.
Also consider doing a GMK set, would love to see the colours on GMK

biip · July 31, 2019, 2:39pm

Yes, wil do!

Your milkshake brings all the boys (and girls) to the yard

Any chance of getting some more fruit novelties on R2-4? I love those happy little fruit keycaps, but since most of them are R0-1, they won’t work on 40% boards. (Thanks for another round of this awesome set!)

chexxor · July 31, 2019, 8:13pm

Dots!

The GMK Dots set was so popular that Dots were added to the KAT Milkshake set?

Nebulant · July 31, 2019, 11:23pm

Will the base color be the same as KAT Alpha? Some of these kits would be great accents to the original run

saversux · August 1, 2019, 6:22am

Nice, I was hoping for a new milkshake run. KAT looks great! I think the nomad kit is missing a R2 1u backspace for 40% Plancks

PyroL · August 1, 2019, 6:37am

I’ve said it before. KAT is probably the only profile I’d ever need. It’s super comfy, to the point of making it feel like you’re typing faster, and sounds amazing.

biip · August 1, 2019, 7:28am

I might split the fruits kit, so I can add some R2-R3-R4 novelties

DSA Milkshake already had a dots kit

I need to compare. Might take a pic asap in order to see…

I will make an ortho kit aside from the nomad one.

Zyrophr · August 1, 2019, 10:17am

Oh god!
I was so sad about missing this set last time, I really hope I’ll be able to afford it, can’t wait for the price, there are a lot of kits that I can’t miss!

Never used KAT, it might be the perfect way to try it!

Merci biip!

saversux · August 1, 2019, 12:35pm

Awesome

Huge kits update! Check the first post

RN00175 · August 2, 2019, 4:18am

I don’t know if this decision lies on your hands or Keyreative’s, but is it possible to have the 1.5u backspace/delete to be part of the base modifiers kit? I think it’s a pretty common key for 60% with split backspace builds. It’s the one gripe I had with the KAT Alpha, forcing me to purchase an extra set just for one keycap.
