KAT Space Cadet R2 is a keycap set featuring Blue Alphas, Novelties, Spacebars, and Base Kit with 35/40% through full-size support and terminal ISO. The keycaps are doubleshot with colors sampled from Keyreative for consistency. The black mods did not work well in doubleshot, but other colors look better than in R1. A Hyper7 kit has been designed but is not currently planned to run due to MOQ and cost concerns. Vendors include CannonKeys (US) with international vendors wanted. Renders are available for Austin by DriftMechanics and SP-111 by BlindAssassin111.
