Never understood the appeal of alpha colored Escape. It throws off color balance and it has no business being alpha colored.

Bottom row CapsLock keys should be part of the "redundant or unnecessary" cleanup, it's 2018, CapsLock needs to die already, put it on a layer and be done with it.

I believe Puddsy's concern is valid, what's the rush? Of course there were people after the GB that cried for extras, but don't be fooled by a vocal minority. I'm not speaking against a R2, I'm just agreeing that doing it so soon is not a good move.

Which vocal monirity to listen to? The one thats says yes to run it now or the one that says no run it later.

Agreed on esc and caps lock.

As a proud owner of R1, I'd love to see some bonsai related novelties (especially since I have a bonsai on my desk next to the set.) Gonna give some basic sketches a go. Going to try for a basic pine tree and a sort of classic juniper-esque bonsai. Probably can't get to it til the weekend, but ill either post them here or send ya a pm. Also, is just plain black and white two tone fine for these?

Single color and svg is what's needed for GMK's design requirements. Additionally, GMK requires minimum radius .17mm, minimum line thickness of .34mm, 1mm away from the cap edge. Thanks for doing thins and I look forward to the results!

Very intersting info to be added on the wiki, if only it wasn't erased by some hackers.

Russian??? You mean Cyrillic? Cyrillic is not Russian. It was created for Bulgarian use in the 8th century long before Russia became a country

Giorgio · « **Reply #110 on:** Sat, 09 June 2018, 08:20:58 »

Bonsai kit is fantastic.

I'd add F1-F4 and F9-F12. That would add only 4 USD.

Not only am I not interested in Cyrillic, it's not even an option for sublegends since GMK doesn't have Cyrillic sublegend molds. Plus Cyrillic doesn't even fit the bonsai name.

Anything but Latin alphas isn't viable for the base kit of a set unless strongly associated with the theme of the set, otherwise it just won't do well. If this set was more themed towards another language, even then I'd do sublegends in order to avoid alienating the more "casual" crowd or anyone that just outright prefers being able to read their alphas.

Make sense, gotcha.
But I think we got something mixed up. I was voicing my interest in cyrillic sublegends, as I too would like to read my alphas.

IMO novelties could be put in the Bonsai kit, to accommodate R1 buyers.

GMK still doesn't have the molds for Cyrillic sublegends, and I'm not interested in raising the price of the set in order to pay for them.

True, but that raises the price of the kit and if they're only in that kit(which I'm not sure if you were intending or not) then it forces R2 buyers into that kit to get them as well.

I'm not completely certain on the math there, but yeh throwing those into the U9 mods is probs a good idea to up the coverage to 75% and TKL.

As for the novelties, I've unfortunately been a little slow working on them. I'm absolutely mobbed these past couple weeks with Phantom, budget96, OG Coil Cables, ScrabblePad, Grey on Black, Metaverse, NGE, etc, plus IRL is being a bit of a pain currently. Hopefully I'll get some solid time in before too long.

Still shooting for an end of June GB for this?

donutcat · « **Reply #124 on:** Thu, 21 June 2018, 12:20:07 »

Not sure, the GMK queue is still a bit crowded for my liking, and Terminal is still supposed to be happening soon, which if anyone remembers was part of the reason R1 was delayed too since I don't want to try and have them compete. Additionally, with some of GMK's staff on leave/vacation/afk communication isn't happening as quickly as preferable, making it difficult to move along with this set as well as some of the others I'm a part of.

idlemao · « **Reply #125 on:** Thu, 21 June 2018, 12:33:32 »

I love the set, but I'm okay with the delay so I can save up.

Still working on novelty designs since I know that's a big part of what people are looking forward to and GMK won't give me a solid quote until we get them the final designs for them. Still hitting July would be nice, but at the same time I learned from RA that I don't want to rush these things.

I've finally settled on novelty designs that me and the artist are happy with, so after going over kits one last time to make sure they're where I think they should be I'll be contacting GMK this week to get the ball rolling. With OG Coil Cables behind schedule I've been wanting to focus on getting them out before moving on to other projects.

coffeeshopcoder · « **Reply #136 on:** Wed, 22 August 2018, 23:31:53 »

I just discovered this. Looks dope. looking forward to seeing the novelties..

I know you said its finalized, but just in case (the image below is likely copyrighted, but just for inspiration ?)

- The lantern - on the numpad enter, or smaller version as a 1u R1 key
- Pretty sure a Bonsai tree will be part of the novelties
- The paper fan, on a stepped key

I wonder how the novelties would look like in the Green on Grey scheme. In my mind, they seems to work better in the accent colors - cream on green...

donutcat · « **Reply #137 on:** Wed, 29 August 2018, 07:39:41 »

Just a wee little update since it's been basically forever

Base Kit

Spacebar Kit

Bonsai Kit - spacebar wasn't supposed to be included, may or may not stay

U9 Mods/Monotone Mods Kit

Take a look and let me know if there's anything obvious that needs to be addressed. At some point when I've got more time to get my thoughts down I do need to discuss Bonsai Kit and U9 Mods Kit.

Forgot to mention, the awesome novelty designs are courtesy of Keebmeupscotty

Quick poll because someone mentioned removing numpad sublegends for a cleaner look. Also, I will be changing how novelties are distributed in the kits so that R1 buyers have a chance to get just the novelties if they want.

Would be nice to have a render of alphas with u9 kit, just to get a sense of what it looks like. Might impact the poll results, too.

Based on form responses, looks like a majority want the sublegends off the numpad. I'll see about contacting GMK to have that done for the renders as well as changing around where novelties are in the kits.
