**Hey!
**
I remember when I first thought of Modern Dolch, it started out as a simple idea to make a version of Dolch without the brown ish alpha colour. I further developed it with Dixiemech and it has since turned into quite the popular set. R1 aftermarket prices have been going insane and the compatibility on it was quite limited compared to some of the recent GBs we did so we figured it was more than time for a follow-up! Modern Dolch 2 keeps the colours which made the original so great but adds a lot of options both in compatibility and aesthetic, so we think we have something to offer for both R1 buyers and those who missed out!
GB is live until July 2nd!!

Inspiration
Many of you have probably owned one or more variants of the timeless Dolch colour-way. I always loved the contrasted yet simple look between the 2 greys, however I always felt like something was a bit off: the colours just seemed a bit too warm and “muddy” to me. I really wanted to give a more muted and modern look to this timeless colourway, which is where Modern Dolch comes in. It keeps the simplistic look and the beautiful contrast between the 2 greys, but cooling the colours down and adding some fresh accents. The result is a very versatile set, which goes well with simple silver/black boards, vibrant teal boards and anything in between.
Kits
Standard

The standard kits has compatibility for the most popular layouts in the community. It features the reworked icon mods introduced with GMK 8008/9009 and has the classic Modo accent options for both escape and enter keys.
Addition

Addition adds support for 660c style layouts, ISO UK, 60%s with arrows and boards with an F13 key like the TGR Jane V2 CE. It also adds alternate legend options for 65% layouts and more.
Numbers

Numbers adds compatibility for layouts with a numpad. It also includes the keys needed to outfit a 1800 style layout.
Obscure

Obscure adds support for 40% layouts, both staggered and ortholinear, and split spacebar boards with options ranging from 1u to 3u.
Aesthetic

Aesthetic is for those of you who like to add a little bit of colour to your boards, either through extra accents or through LEDs under lock keys. It also adds both centred and offset 6u spacebar support.
Alternate

Alternate introduces a whole new simplistic look to Modern Dolch by “alternating” the existing colours on some keys. This kit is great if you enjoy monochrome accents or a more uniform looking f row.
Command

Command is specifically aimed at Mac users by adding correct legends for Command and Option keys.
Modern

Modern adds the option for a full icon bottom row, function, escape and 175 control and command keys. It also adds an alternate icon for the tab key.
Norde

This kit adds compatibility for ISO NO, SE, FL, DK, DE, US layouts. It also includes 1.25 and 1.5u Alt Gr keys, a 1.25u Shift and ISO enters in the 3 Modern Dolch colours. This means that Norde users don’t have to buy the Addition kit!
Mist

Mist is a stand-alone base kit for those of you who want a cooler and more colourful take of Modern Dolch. It’s kit design is nearly identical to the Standard kit, exchanging the red accents for an F13 key and a second B for Alice layouts in combination with the spacebars from the Obscure kit. This makes sure all the most popular layouts from 60% to TKL are supported!
