This is the kind of stupid that means I'll never support a GB. Seriously.

I fucking hate that scammy shit. They're tiny pieces of plastic-- we way overpay for GMK and other higher quality sets and the add on kits are a fucking scam.
I'm only off a few keys on my 80082 kit and I'm trying to hold out until I lose interest in the hobby... I don't want to pay another $40 for four keycaps.

Hmm interesting. I might have misbought the v2 if i compare the v1 and v2. Thought they would sound the same. The site where i bought them showed the v1 picture so I assumed they were the v1 but i got the v2 instead
Still sound good tho the upstroke atleast sounds the same. They do feel the same aswell right?

I generally like to support the creators of the OG sets, but if they’re going to pull shit like that, I’m getting a $25 Amazon knock off.

Looks like you're just going to have to buy a new TKL.

It's not usually because of poorly thought out kitting, though. The kitting of this keycap set is just a bad/not-fully-thought-out move on Kono's part - something that I've heard is all too common with them.
(Instead, the $1k+ price tag is because people end up buying a limited-run $600+ keyboard kit, a $150 GMK set, two sets of $70+ switches for a single set of frankenswitches, a $50 cable, and an extra $50 on stabilizers, film, lube, and other extras.)

Main reason I didn’t buy this set. Love the looks but pieces being split up made it a no for me

Sheesh. Now that is an almost intentionally-difficult layout to kit. Worse than off-the-shelf gamer boards.

Somehow, that's been the reason why I've been pushed to NK and other Cherry profile sets.
Less fuss out of the box.
I understand the options. But sometimes you just want simplicity.

I honestly think a ton of people in this hobby would save a lot by buying a decent laser and/or dye sub gear, then customizing from blanks.

Only $100, that's like 5 for the price of 4!

Just mounted mine yesterday. Yes, I definitely noticed this issue. From the top down, the colours lean orange, then pink, then orange then pink (or more neutral). The values seem fine, but the hues are slightly off.
I imagine colour matching for a set like this would be very difficult. I think a lot of people would be fine with it, but I know a lot of people in this hobby are very tuned in to colours. And it's not as bad as some "gradient" sets I've seen that some consumers have still been happy with.
I'm still going to enjoy it a lot. Whether I believe in my heart that this is really up to standard for the $300 I paid for it is a bit of a different story. Overall, still glad I bought it.

No reason to upgrade if you already have them. On the V1, the yellow and reds were recognizable by the stem: Yellow has standard cross while the reds had the "box type" which reduces wobble in the downpressed position and would have been technically a little better. Looks like the V2 reds will lose those improved stems.

Silent switches often have silicone inserted at the top and bottom of the stem rail to dampen both up and downstrokes. Some have silicone at the bottom of the housing as well but the bottom silicone alone doesn't make it a silent switch.

Yes I definitely know how much it costs to cover different layouts. You're looking at extras prices which are a lot more expensive than buying during GB.
I don't know what your example shows, apart from that yeah SP SA is really expensive. You're trying to cover a pretty rare layout, not sure what I could change there.
I think kitting is good, I accepted a ton of feedback from the community and some members that are very knowledgeable about kitting before I ran the GB, not sure what else I can say.

Yes agreed, I guess lighting plays a part.
For example, here it looks fairly good.
But, the colours of the darker three and the lightest seem to be of the same gradient map, but the QWERTY row seems a different pallet somehow.
