It took some time but the forth revision of /dev/tty is finally available and ready to ship at Drop!
Apart from minor changes to the base kit (yeah there’s an uwu key) and “Lost+Found”, the most important update is for the 40%/ortho keyboards. I believe the 40s kit is one of the most complete around so if you like typing on those little things you better hurry up white it’s hot!
Here below the list of all kits.

No ergo kit, disappointing. Dev/tty R2’s ergo kit was perfect.
Small space bars!! You are a saint <3
Why does the Colevrak kit have non-homing F & J? Only the Qwerty layout has those two letters on the home row.
Don’t get me wrong, I love love love that you are offering this kit!
I am very disappointed that the Japan Kit is no longer available.
It was a very valuable and rare kit. Is there any plan to reproduce it in the future?
The Japanese legends on MT3 Serika are very nice if you’re into mixing sets.
Why was the Windows key in the lost & found kit changed to the modern one everyone hates? :(
Any word on why the ‘ key doesn’t have a second option that’s whiter like the rest of the alphas? Always been a fan of having only my printed characters be the primary color and modifiers be the secondary color, and it drives me nuts that on ortholinear that ‘ is commonly the ONLY alpha key to not be the same color as everything else.
Ended up getting the older Ortho kit just for that key coming in white, although it means I don’t get an R3 Tab key which is rather annoying. Thankfully you can flip R2 and R3, although it isn’t as good as having the full TAB on R3. Please offer individual keys/kits to fill out cases like this :(
offering individual keys would be amazing but I don’t really think Drop is up for the task…
That’s perfectly understandable! Although I am wondering, does this fourth revision have an alpha colored ‘ key? All the renders show it being modifier colored in the ortholinear sets. Seems a weird choice to only have a modified colored ‘ key when previous versions of the kit had it offered in both modifier and alpha colors.
Overall, curious what the main changes are between the previous run, specifically for ortholinear ( https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-mt3-dev-tty-keycap-set?defaultSelectionIds=962044) vs the newest revision linked on this page. It looks to be more keys, more options per row, removal of alpha-colored ‘ key, and the spacebars are now traditional convex, instead of the concave 2u spacebar found in the old fit? And then of course, any revisions to font and such. If there was a list of what changed, that would be really neat.
