These keys are covered by the base kit.

Maybe also a blue Enter, for me it would pe perfect like that :)

1) I think so, yes
2) We'll see :) As of now this is enough to get a quote. With some numbers at hand we can review some kits
3) I agree the § is too wide, I don't like it. I'll work on the real/final legends while the GB is actually going
4) I couldn't find one that I really liked. I'll try harder.

Whops. I don't know why they slipped inside... I have to double check, I hope I didn't invert upper with lower case.

don't push too hard :)

I like blue Enter, too. Like I said, I want to see the prices with the current setup. We can later fine-tune.

We know the deadline's approaching, so it's the last scramble for adjustments :)

Should there be an double-height icon enter and num lock for the numpad in one of the icon keysets (the icon pro perhaps)?

Also I guess the second legend on the numpad (Pos1, Page Up etc.) is out to have a monolegend numerical set (which I can totally live with)?

we already have numlock icon, but we definitely miss the vertical enter.

side printed maybe? I don't know.

Don't do it! (They look cleaner without, for a single legend numrow.)

Muirium fears for his single legend board ;)

I also would not add those legends, although it defeats the purpose of num lock a bit (but who uses the navigation level on the num pad anyways).

They come in handy on one of these. But generally speaking, you are quite right.

Nah. Row-less DSA really shines for exactly this sort of thing. Round 5 is full of blank ergo kits, but they don't really appeal to me.

(almost) all kits are available in blank flavor. Remember in dye sub all kits born blank

To add support for a danish layout. These keys should be added:
<>\
´`|
½§

Btw, for those still interested, I have posted close up pictures of the the two Amiga A keys on my Amiga 2000 Keyboard. The pictures can be found in the Wiki.

It is still Gotham. ³ is different from 3 (which I agree).

Just saw this thread. Looking good! I'll take anything with a Norwegian set. (you can hardly get a keyboard with Norwegian legends in Norway these days :evil: )

As Freddy Mercury said : "I want it all, Yeahyeah ! And I want it now." XD

It's nicer everyday ! I really like the numpad signs ÷ and × imho it's a plue-value, add some "chic" :D

Some missing : the !§ key for fr-azerty in the intl de,it,fr kit and Ê for bépo in the intl mono. You may add « and » in mono for Portuguese, bépo and Muirium's obscure purpose (Citroën fanboy? :D )
Finally, I would like to have a 1unit AltGr in the ISO kit or a meta key (edit : as you did in the icon pro with the double arrow) and another dot key in mono or a comma in numpad.

Some double in mono and intl : there is ^ in both kits, moreover ¨ : and ' ´ may be merged. But I think you did it on purpose since it depends on font (especially vertical/curved apostrophe and acute)

Something funny : The ergodox 2units keys are what I use on my Tipro except the blank is a Tab key :o

thanks for your report. I'll apply your suggestions.

I don't know if I should keep both ´ and `. In Italian they differs quite a bit (even though few use them correctly), but I agree that we could live with just one of them (`).

It's just a suggestion to eventually cut price of this kit if you'll think it is too high after SP names it. It's only one key and a 1unit one so you may try to see if it worth keeping it (some purist may want it after all)

The consequences of lost accents are both grave and acute!
