Drop + MiTo XDA Canvas Custom Keycap Set

Jan 20, 2017

So many questions... so confused... 1) For Betas - why do we get the number keys for the no.pad but not every other keys that is required for the no.pad? Is this your way of saying we still need to buy the Calculator kit to have a full no.pad? If so... why not just load both versions of number keys in the Calculator so for those of us building standalone no.pad, we can just use what we want. 2)Tsangan Modifiers/Extra Modifiers - How do I actually tell which one I need? I have WF(vanila), Filco Minila, Inifinity60%(hacker), RSII Ver.C, RSIII Ver.A, Infinity Ergodox and Clueboard, don't need full compatibility... but would like to understand what I am getting for each additional kit. 3)Ergodox Modifiers - Why not have a Bauhaus version... 4)Calculator - what happen to the yellow "calc" key before?? That was such a good key!!! 5)Dieter Rams - This is almost like a different version of the alphas to go with the Icon Modifiers... yet I have to get another alpha/beta/Mono kit just to get the remaining symbol keys.... 6)Finally... I don't want this to be a ramp, because I do appreciate the effort Mito and other people have put into this to make it happen. But I just find it very hard to swallow that there's not really any cost/time saving achieved from having this set of keys produce in China compared to US/Germany.

MunnybearFirst, look here for simple answers. https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/5p1yjo/canvas_xda_some_kits_explained_and_updates/?sort=new Second, the extra kits all have sizes on each of the keys. Since you own that many keyboards, you should probably know how to identify which keys are not standard.

TomliginyuThat link is actually very informing and more or less the kind of answer I was hoping for! Thank you.
For your 2nd point, unfortunately most of those boards have not yet arrived as MD takes a long time to get them into the hands of consumer. I've actually tried counting this... my own conclusion is that I only need the Tsangan Modifier since I don't have a 40% board... My take is that the Extra Modifiers are created so that 40% boards only need Alpha + Extra Mod and by pass the Basic Mod. But would be nice if someone can confirm or point out what's needed in the Extra Modifiers.

MunnybearThis drop is a shitshow and and a pretty blatant money grab. The base and child sets are set up "to save us money" but the child sets omit such basic and obvious keys to force you to buy way more than what you need or want.
