The Biggest Old Update to Mechanical Switches
Hall Effect: What is a Hall Effect switch and will it turn you into a gaming god? TL;DR: Nope, but there are reasons why you may want to use a Hall Effect Keyboard. Hall Effect switches are the newest trend in mechanical keyboard switches. From Gateron to Geon, switch manufacturers are starting to release HE switches. With Wooting at the forefront and seemingly the best implementation of Hall Effect technology, many other brands seem to be playing catch-up. We’ve seen releases like the RAKKA, BOOG75, DrunkDeer, and MOD007 HE start to stir up competition. But do you need another keyboard? Is this one going to be the end all be all for you? Is HE Endgame? If you’re like me, a keyboard enthusiast, your answers will probably be: no(yes), no, and no. Do I think that an HE board deserves a spot in your collection? Maybe… Let’s dive into the latest technological update to mechanical switches in a long time, and you can make that decision for yourself. First, we need to know...

The space bar is measured in keys? I think my space bar is 6 keys wide. What do you do with the other sizes? Sell them? The international set is a full set? I am not really interested in that set though. Sorry. I mostly want to add some orange to my black keyset where I changed the keys to media keys and the like. But want to know how this all works.
Do the R1 and R4 kits get made only if there are enough orders? Thanks for any tips and advice. Don't want to be bummed in February.
EDIT: Rereading the description, the community kit is for row 1, R1. Are number keys different than alphabet keys? Space Bar kit is Row 4. Are the 2 and 2.5 keys not the same size as shit and caps keys?
The space bar is measured in keys? - The measurement is done in u(nits), your smallest keycaps are 1u, your assumption had been correct.
I think my space bar is 6 keys wide. What do you do with the other sizes? Sell them? - Keep them for future projects or sell them at reddit or gh or ask here, shouldn't be a problem.
The international set is a full set? - Nope, only the keycaps shown, without the Carbon baseset from an older or future drop not that helpfull.
Do the R1 and R4 kits get made only if there are enough orders? - They should only happen if 150 orders per option are reached. We've three different options, for example two may make it and one doesn't. If the orders are close enough to M(inimum)O(rder)Q(uantity) MD might step in buying the missing ones for further drops whatever.
EDIT: Rereading the description, the community kit is for row 1, R1. Are number keys different than alphabet keys? - Yes
Space Bar kit is Row 4. Are the 2 and 2.5 keys not the same size as shit and caps keys? - All of this keycaps are meant as spacebar(s), The size is a different story, they should fit regarding size following "standard", but may have a different profile which may be odd.
Your mk seems to use low profile keycaps, not granted to fit well enough for your liking with the given Cherry profile.
Have a nice day
Thank you MAKAMI!!!!
