From the recent Model 100 kickstarter email: “If you’re a Colemak Classic typist and Mod-DH keycaps aren’t going to work for you, we’ll be able to adjust your pledge once backer surveys open.”

So if I understand correctly, this means that Colemak classic keycaps will not be an option for the Model 100 at all? If that is the case, will blank keycaps be an option?

@jesse will shurely confirm this, but you may have the possibility to choose any other available set (încluding blanc or, I hope top, Linear-A).

That’s right. The overwhelming majority of folks want Mod-DH rather than Colemak Classic, so we’re adjusting the caps to that.

And yes, during the backer survey, you’ll be able to change your keycap set choices.

I am a colemak classic typist.  
How much more expensive would it be to include two extra keys in the colemak pack to make it a user choice?

Sure, but will there be some sort of “blank” option, or something like the Linear A caps?

As a non-qwerty typist, I’m obviously no stranger to just using qwerty legends anyway. But if accurate keycaps aren’t an option, I’d prefer to have no label (or a meaningless label) over an incorrect one.

Both Blank and Linear A caps will be an option.

Unfortunately, because our keycaps are injection molded as a full set, adding “just a couple” alternate keycaps is the same cost to make as a full set. (We’d have to throw away the rest of the set.)

That works great for me at least then. Thanks!

Colemak Classic typist here. I’ve been thinking about adopting mod-DH, and I guess this seals the deal.

Exactly my reaction too!
