Does the MOQ for that (least popular of all kits) go down if we trim the number of keys?

If not, throw in £. You might win a few ISO-UK folk over at the end, that way!

Why not, all is good to reach easier the MOQ. But remember that the more this kit is cheap, the more I'll be able to trade you μ keys
PM sent, I don't know why I didn't write it in french but whatever

no, the MOQ won't change.

I don't think we have time to advertise the new set, so it will probably be something handled privately between 10 interested people.

I'm already certain to order at least 3 of them, even if changes aren't possible. I know it's not done, but I can spread the news that a full bépo set is available, to see if someone want to jump on.

oh of course we need at least 10 participants.

Current status



We need 2 more Numpads, 7 ISO Enter, 1 more Nerdom, 3 more Cyrillic and 6 more Windowed!

we are running out of time! Just 4 days and a bunch of hours remaining! If you were holding back, now it's the time to act!

...and three more Mono Legends, of course. Join us!

Thanks Vierax for PM’ing me, and of course
thanks matt30 for taking such care of our International Mono special needs

As a matter of fact (and provided the "normal" Mono set is available) there is just one key I absolutely need
and with which my whole project (an extended extra num pad) will stand and fall:
the € key.
Happy if the ° and § are also included, but not really a must.
By the way, I would even take two International Mono sets if required to hit the MOQ.

And sorry, no, I’m not going to buy DSA caps for anything else,
I can’t imagine typing on anything else than the original Cherry doubleshot set I’ve been using the last 20 years or so
and its lovely high gloss (sometimes disrespectful referred to as "shine" )

thanks for the reply kbdfr.

€ is already in the mix. We still need to complete the new set though.

Sure, I just wanted to make it clear that I absolutely need €, would love to have ° and §, do not mind if anything else disappears from the set, and will support whatever else might be needed by others.

Just noticed something that was bothering me. Every time I looked at Cyrillic set I felt uncomfortable for some reason.

Now I see it! There is one key that does not belong to Cyrillic.


This is ANSI .

This is ISO

So if this set is universal in terms of ISO/ANSI compatibility the marked key should be replaced by Cyrillic version of it.

matt3o probably didn't notice this since he was doing so much work to bring this set to live

noted, thanks!

If we're going the bépo route, I may jump in for one or two sets.

OOh Yeaaaahh !!! Really hope that SP will accept the changing.

At least we have :
1 for Muirium
1 for kbdfr
1 for zulios
3 for vierax (2 for me, 1 for adrien)

I'll see how much I can add to reach the MOQ.

I notice the intl kit has a 1u \ key, but nowhere is there a 1u | (pipe) key, which seems like a logical extension since the other mono kit has shifted and un-.

little I can do about it at this stage unfortunately...

Well, we are still building the Mono International aka. Lost and Found 2.0…

I really need to have that finalized ASAP!

Have we got everything needed for Bépo now?

If there's no better ideas for the empty slots, I propose the Greek lowercase letters alpha, lambda (aka Halflife), sigma etc. because!

Having second thoughts on 1u |. Just noticed: there is already a 1u | key in the common set: the letter "I". (Double-colon sentence; neat!)

Edited to add: Lower-case Greek would indeed be awesome. Like the text-glyph equivalent of the Nerdom kit! :grins: I would prioritize τ (tau) b/c tau manifesto.

Yeah, tau is another good one!

But using I for |? Madness! Wouldn't people need to buy a second base kit?

Indeed, but the sans I and the | are so similar that it might be more confusing than useful. ("Why does your board have two different I's?" "Easy, this one's the tall one!")

This is the final Nerdom. What you see if what you get. If you spot errors speak now, or STFU



Please note the two Amiga As that are not the same font (as per images posted in the wiki)

Possible Lost+Found 2. I need 10 people willing to buy it though.

I propose backslash for the extra spot. Do I hear a second?

It's a safe choice. But infinity is kewler.

ok, we nailed it.

I will buy lost+found 2.

All these will stay alpha colours? I ask only for ENTER, which could swing either way.

The Infinity Kit!

yes all light gray (we can't change the setup). I doubt SP will let us make it... but I'll try. Again, I need 10 very committed people.
