All with full 40s sets?

Oh, God no. Sorry! Mostly they're on more normie boards, but the Mitospeed being R3 and full of nonsense legends would go well on a 40 or 40-adjacent.

I've reluctantly come to realize that I just don't like the feel of Cherry all that much. I prefer DCS if I'm going to go cylindrical. The sharp edges on Cherry are just all wrong for my poor typing technique.

    DCS I do not like the relative height on the r5 row, not that I use it that much on 40s, most of the time its just r2 to r4.

    Yeah single row profile keycaps make 40s so much easier to kit, this set is all the better for it. Other option is a 40 with full size modifiers, those are a great way to get started, but I find them a little big to use so I end up using home row modifiers.

    Split space is the hardest for me as my preference is for 2x3u, and that normally means having to get hold of a separate space bar kit on top of the standard kit, and the 40s kit.

    Most of the CYL kits I have looked at simply do not do spacebar kits, so I have never purchased one and wont till its fixed. If I cannot use in on half my boards why would I bother?
