Love those colors and by what they are inspired, but as many sets nowadays, I am just saddened it is not SA, or any other profile but GMK.

Third times a charm I guess :p Alternating purple F-row like Oco was planning on doing would be awesome (see here: https://i.imgur.com/46JrYAM.png). I'm not really a fan of the text novelties; I get what you're going for but I feel like something more subtle would look better. Also like someone else said the icon alignment is inconsistent within each render, but I feel like text+icon would look great on this set so you can get more of the light purple. GLWIC! :thumb:

Post by: elmo on Sat, 21 August 2021, 14:24:39

I like this. :-X

But why exactly add 10u spacebars?

There's literally not a single modern keyboard that supports those and I doubt people are going to buy this set to put it on an old Wyse keyboard.
Adding that will probably just make the spacebars kit way more expensive and thus make it way harder to reach moq.

Also two base kits -> not going to reach moq either.

Edit:
Also please don't use the standard Cherry/GMK font for the novelties. It looks horrendous.

This just isn't true, the Pandora 60% has 10u support, just as an example. While I somewhat agree with you that the 10u bars will make the kit unnecessarily pricy, they're definitely not obsolete.

I would suggest forcing accent on all the enter keys in the 40s kit instead of half of them.

Post by: djbakasan on Sat, 21 August 2021, 16:49:47

I mean I get what you're going for with the bi-color arrow keys in the novelty set, but in my mind it'd end up looking janky. Perhaps I missed it but I didn't see any renders of those on a board? Want to be open minded but right now my assumption is that on an actual board it wouldn't accomplish the effect of mimicking the old controller button colors.

are the arrows in the novelty kit by design?

if so, a render showing what they look like on the board would be nice.

Yes. Great. What do you think how many people are really going to use that?

Doubling the price of the spacebars kit and thus risking that it fails moq just to get compatibility with a dumb meme that maybe 2-3 people will use sounds like a totally reasonable thing to do. :thumb:

The upcoming Dino108 also supports a 10u spacebar.

The Dino108 guy is completely new, has two renders and no prototype yet and he's just adding more and more stuff to his design.
It's not going to run anytime soon anyways.

GMK doesn't even have 10u molds.
And making new molds for a borderline obsolete meme is just dumb.

So? What is your point.

3 =/= not a single.

There is evidence that "modern" people/designers are interested in 10u. Demand pushes for production.

Set looks great, but the kit renders are all in oem profile. Those aren't cherry models. You should probably go over that with your renderer.

Re-using the molds would require approval of the dualshot designer because of GMKs policy regarding custom novelty designs.

Base kit looks good, GJ getting proper UK ISO in there.

I'd like to see some renders with the novelty arrows, I like the idea but might look weird in practice.

Macro Kit is great! Thank you SO MUCH for macOS 7u/HHKB support in it.

Spacebar kit needs a "B" key for Alice/Arisu layout since it's not in the base kit. I'd honestly just put it in the base kit if you can so Alive/Arisu users can just use Shift and Num Pad Zero keys for spaces if they only want to buy one kit. That second B needs to be somewhere though.

Also, need to remove the 10u spaces if this is going to be a GMK set as they do not have those moulds.

Looking forward to this set! I love the colors and novelties.

I was earlier quite excited when it was icon-only mods. I don’t quite like the updated icon+text mods. Too cluttered in my view.

There are two types of icon mods - the Dixie centred ones (see modo2), and the OG top aligned ones that Japanese/European boards used to have (see monochrome R2). The alignment also applies to backspace, capslock, arrow keys etc. I prefer the latter as it’s aligned with the legend on the alphas.

(https://matrixzj.github.io/assets/images/gmk-keycaps/moderndolchr2/kits_pics/standard.jpg)

(https://enjoykeycap.github.io/assets/images/gmk-keycaps/Monochrome-R2/kits_pics/base.png)

I think the addition of a 10u spacebar is a good move, especially since there are keyboards that have 10u support but there’s no GMK 10u spacebar to date. It’s the same as the 3u spacebar. having it in a child kit means whoever who doesn’t want it can do without the kit. I think there will be enough demand, even just for the novelty factor.

So? What is your point.

3 =/= not a single.

There is evidence that "modern" people/designers are interested in 10u. Demand pushes for production.

"Demand"

Quote from: Kokaloo on Sun, 22 August 2021, 02:25:21
The same argument can be made with iso

I would argue that there are a lot more people that use ISO than people that are actually going to use a 10u spacebar...

People literally used to use 10u spacebars and still do. Is it that difficult to admit you were short-sighted? Just stop.

Yes. People used to use them.
Back in the 80s when there were no standards for keyboards.
Except for SP with their DCS caps there aren't even any companies left that make those large spacebars anymore.
Wanna guess why?
Right. Because no-one uses them. Except some people in this community who put them on their boards as a meme.

Also good luck finding matching stabilizers.
You would probably have to bend them by hand lmao.

It's a borderline obsolete thing that only gets used as a meme by maybe a dozen people in this community (if at all) and is otherwise only found on vintage keyboards that were made 40 years ago.

And you still can not even get 10u spacebars from GMK.

OP -> I suggest to reach out to voodoo6k and ask for hints how to balance the purple and grey tones.

While I am willing to jump into any Nintendo/SNES inspired set, this one just looks sooo bland compared to voodoo's work with SA SNES.

Try to make alphas' grey color lighter, and purple a bit more vivid. Also mods would look so much better with dark grey/light grey other that dark grey/purple combo.

I mean... you're not wrong that the colors don't perfectly match an SNES's console/controller if that's what you're insinuating.
Voodoo6k pretty much NAILED it in that regard.
But I don't think that it's fair to say it's bland. The dark purple used is plenty vibrant already, but it should probably be a bit more blue/indigo than the voilet (red) used if you want to be closer to the actual console.

I think one of the most attractive points about MT3/SA SNES is actually the centered legends and rounded shape of the keycaps. Perhaps that's you find that set more "interesting" as well?
The staunch and rigid shape of GMK, plus the font and alignment just doesn't really lend itself to that fun 90's "Nintendo" feel the way that the bubbly shape and large centered fonts of SA do.

If you wanna see a REALLY boing version of SNES, go check out Originative take on the colorway. That **** looks like a week old funeral.

Keep on arguing. There is a vendor and designer working to get proper wires for 10u manufactured not by hand. Unless GMK is as stubborn as you, they may listen to designers and the community. If they make all sorts of novelties for custom keysets, I do not see any reason why they can't make 10u spacebars. You can treat is as a novelty for a ****ing "meme" as you insist.

You are still completely missing the point lol.

Of course GMK could make 10u spacebar molds.
But that would easily double the price of the spacebars kit and also raise the moq for it.

And I'm 100% sure that finding 250 people or more that are willing to pay $80 for a spacebar kit just because it has a 10u bar is going to be pretty hard. Even in this community.
Meaning that the set would most likely just fail to reach moq entirely causing nobody to get any of the spacebars.

It's just not reasonable to include something in a kit that would increase the price of it that much and that so few people are actually interested in.
If at all it would make sense to sell the 10u spacebars as an extra kit. That way the normal spacebars would still get made even if the 10u bars fail to reach moq.

Edit:
Which is apparently what op did now.
Congrats on being a reasonable person. :)

Post by: smshark on Wed, 25 August 2021, 10:04:05

The reason 10u is feasible for DCS is that you don't need special/custom stabs, they have a mold that works with 7u stabs (along with the classic 8u stab version for older boards). So basically any board with tsangan layout could reasonably accommodate 10u bars. Sure it's a meme, but it looks cool and some people like it, so why not price it? If it's prohibitive, then you remove it
