Title: [IC] GMK HALLYU 한류
Post by: Bidulomachin on Mon, 04 May 2020, 19:16:31

Hallyu (한류 in korean) means "The Korean Wave".

It refers to the increase in global popularity of South Korean culture since the 1990s.
With this set, I wanted to pay a tribute to Korea's pop culture through :
_ hangul sublegends
_ the bright colors on a darker background to symbolise night life and party spirit, and to represent the wave with the gradient
_ different icons : each one represents one aspect of Korea and its pop culture : korean cinema and k-drama (clapperboard icon) / food (bimbap bowl icon) / k-pop music (finger heart icon) /  korean alcoholic drink (bottle of soju icon) / korean beauty, skincare and makeup (eyelash icon).

I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think about this first set  :D
You can find GMK Hallyu on Instagram @Bidulomachin  :thumb:

Unless you are looking to make new molds in creating those hangul sublegends, I suggest using the legends used in gmk pulse, or better making hangul only legends. The current ones have a fair bit of problems.

No thanks in using GMK PuLSE sublegends that ignore double-consonant characters and other tertiary legends.

Can you point out and elaborate on the "fair bit of problems" in the current set of sublegends?

Interesting. "한류" seems to be the only letter based novelty, which feels a little weird. Can you come up with non-letter version?
The base color would look great with dark blues like sat75, chimera65, or prophet dark blue. Can you do a render of one of them?
I like the toned down but not boring color theme.

The current legends have inconsistencies. I like to call the phenomenon the sudden fattening. Anyways these problems are not apparent in gmk pulse as they utilized an entirely new mold, and I bought a set to check. I dont find a problem with the monolegends as the modern look complements the modern theme, but thats up to the designer.

The text mods feel weird given the theme, if hangul text mods are too expensive due to new molds could icon mods be done? Even as a separate kit I think they'd mark an improvement.

I like the toned down but not boring color theme.

Yes I'll consider removing that one and drawing a new hallyu-related icon instead !


Consider making the following changes to the base kit:
  • Add R3 PgUp (peach) and R4 PgDn (yellow) for 65%/75% users.
  • Lock → Scroll, for consistency with Num.
  • Code → System/Sys, or Code → Super, to avoid the visual duplication of C in Control, Code. I think Super might make the most sense, given the theme.
  • Change the R4 \|₩ (yellow) key to R4 <> to avoid duplicate legends between the ISO keys.
  • (less important) Make one or both of the right Alt keys Alt Gr.

Also, is it me or are the 6.25u and 7u bars in the spacebars kit redundant?

Thanks, I will work on Adding R3 PgUp (peach) and R4 PgDn (yellow) for 65%/75% users and Lock → Scroll, for consistency with Num !

rama key!

Definitly ! I think an eyelash icon in brass would look cool !

coming from a non-korean person who loves korean pop culture, this is really beautiful and fun! the color scheme and novelties work so nicely and I definitely get the "nightlife" feeling. great work.

one comment I have is about the novelties - the eyelash one kinda sticks out from all the rest because of how minimal it is. all the others are distinct objects and have many lines, curves, and empty spaces. they take up more space on the keycap and depict more obvious themes. have you considered other icons that represent beauty/skincare that are more uniform with the other icons? maybe skincare/makeup products like lipstick, mascara, lotion, etc.

Thanks for your suggestions :) actually when I was thinking about this icon I considered to draw other objects like bottles and stuff but I wanted something less literal to represent "beauty", I like the eye because it has a more poetic signification, and even if it's more minimalist in its shape I think it still works with the others and on its own too  :D

I actually like that that one is Hangul, means you don't have to put an icon in the middle of your bottom row if you want a win key novelty. I say keep it.

250 MOQ is for the base kit, 100 would be for child kits. For super basic 40s reference something like GMK Deep Navy

https://cannonkeys.com/products/gb-gmk-deep-navy?variant=31505722474607

or simply adding a single 1.25 R3 "Tab" to the base kit would give all the necessary row profiling, then with the addition of the bars kit it would be fill in the rest.

Another thing that occurred to me regarding the \|₩ keys (besides the R4 needing to be changed to avoid a duplicate legend) is that the R1 \|₩ should probably have the sublegend removed, since the rest of the keys on the number row don't have any sublegends.

Have all Hangul modifiers been done before?

I don’t think GMK hangul modifiers exist!
But GMK Hallyu features the same legends as GMK korean beige

I was thinking, as an alternative to the eyelash, how about the outline of a face mask? I would dig it if that was one of the icons too

Man the eyelashes look sick. Imo not really for the lashes themselves, but as a closed eye. Something about that just hits me in the aesthetic. It might be the first Rama keycap I'd ever consider.

UPDATES !

Thanks again for all the feedbacks :D
Renders and kits have been updated on my first post, and here are the modifications that I made :

Consider making the following changes to the base kit:
  • Add R3 PgUp (peach) and R4 PgDn (yellow) for 65%/75% users.
  • Lock → Scroll, for consistency with Num.
  • Change the R4 \|₩ (yellow) key to R4 <> to avoid duplicate legends between the ISO keys.

Also, is it me or are the 6.25u and 7u bars in the spacebars kit redundant?

I added R3 PgUp R4 PgDn, Changed Lock for Scroll, I didn't change the R4 \|₩ but the R3 \|₩ to R3~# instead to avoid duplicate legends, and removed 2 duplicate spacebars in the spacebars kit indeed !

Very cool. Nice to see an uptick in hangul sets. Really like everything except the hallyu text mods in the night kit. It seems kind of bland imo

I updated the shape of the 한류 to make it look more cohesive with everything. I chose to keep this one in the kit after all !

More updates about keycaps, deskmat and GB to come  :)

  • Add R3 PgUp (peach) and R4 PgDn (yellow) for 65%/75% users.
  • Lock → Scroll, for consistency with Num.
  • Code → System/Sys, or Code → Super, to avoid the visual duplication of C in Control, Code. I think Super might make the most sense, given the theme.
  • Change the R4 \|₩ (yellow) key to R4 <> to avoid duplicate legends between the ISO keys.
  • (less important) Make one or both of the right Alt keys Alt Gr.

Also, is it me or are the 6.25u and 7u bars in the spacebars kit redundant?

Thanks, I will work on Adding R3 PgUp (peach) and R4 PgDn (yellow) for 65%/75% users and Lock → Scroll, for consistency with Num !

Don't forget correcting the R3 #~ key as well (should be \|₩).

The R3 #~ key is in there for ISO support reasons, I believe. Should stay as is.

Actually, the correct R3 key in that position, given that this set is otherwise fully English (US) + Korean sublegends, is \|₩ — #~ is for English (UK) only, and is missing the still required ₩ symbol.

On R3 #~ vs R3 \| (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90706.msg2894820#msg2894820)

tl;dr: \| is better for a couple of reasons, especially when combined with R4 <>.

Looks sick! Would like Colevrak, but doubt that would happen with GMK! But you can't win them all ig.

Just a suggestion, maybe an alternate function row legend color like white or off-white to represent stars. Having two rows next to each other with the same colors looks kinda funky imo (Unless there's a color limit. I'm still pretty new to this stuff). But regardless, love the set!

I'd second a function row in off-white (I think a bright white would distract from the rest of the rows, but a "darker" white might work) or another color that would go well with the rest of the rows.

As it's a color per row type of design, adding colored spacebars wouldn't fit. And even if a mauve one could, I don't like how it looks, I don't want to overload the design and I think the gradient works arleady by itself  :)

I was hoping for a bolder design language on the Rama caps. Simple brass with a dinky engraving doesn’t really do it for me, and I don’t see it fitting with the rest of the keyset. I would like to see more color and thicker lines; something to highlight the vividness of Korean pop culture. Just my 2 cents.

Actually agree with this. I think the rama caps should be something different/special. I don't really like the eye lashes novelty design, but even if the brass caps had the bottle or bibim design (my fav), it still wouldnt be enough to make me spend the extra dough when im already buying the novelty kit.

+1 for the bibim cap instead of the lashes. I like the contrast with the rose gold (bright gold is too bright to go with softness of the base imo). Also, its in my sig now, so consider the money already spent for atleast a base.

Thanks :) Since it's a color per row design I don't want to put any color on the spacebars because it doesn't fit for me and it's a bit too much ! Glad you like the ramacap choices, but based upon some comments I'm thinking about wether I should only run the rose gold one, or redesign a second one maybe, since the eyelash isn't too much appreciated. Let me know what you think !

Thanks for your feedbacks ! I'm not really into putting colors on top of the cap for this set, to me it wouldn't fit with the overall design and spirit, it would be too much. I'm going for the engraving only to keep it minimalist since the gradient is already quite bold in the design. But I do hear your feedbacks about the eye lash and I'm reconsidering it like I said just before :)
About the TaeGeuk idea, to be honest I'm not a fan of its shape, and it's a bit too easy and obvious to represent Korea to my mind ! I think that self made icon makes it a bit more special and interesting !

definitely getting this beautiful set! just started learning korean and this set could come in handy. but i have to ask, is there any chance of getting hangul as alphas instead of sublegends?

Glad you like it, thanks ! I'd love to run a hangul only kit, but since the hangul molds don't exist in GMK yet, that would be a super expensive kit and I don't think enough people would be interested to reach the 150 MOQ / would be able to afford it  :(

I would be interested in this if it used the updated Hangul sub legends like on Blink or pulse.

I understand that maybe this version could look nice but since it ignores double-consonant characters and other tertiary legends, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it !

Love it, super basic 40s compat would be appreciated :)

Thanks ! Unfortunately, I think it would struggle to reach 250 MOQ  :(

250 MOQ is for the base kit, 100 would be for child kits. For super basic 40s reference something like GMK Deep Navy

https://cannonkeys.com/products/gb-gmk-deep-navy?variant=31505722474607

or simply adding a single 1.25 R3 "Tab" to the base kit would give all the necessary row profiling, then with the addition of the bars kit it would be fill in the rest.

Would second this suggestion, would highly appreciate that 1.25u r3 tab. I know it's hard to reach that 150 MOC for a 40s kit, but this would be a good middle-ground

I would like to add that since this set doesn't have any 40% compatibility, including a 1.75u space key is not useful at all, as that key is only used on the following 40% boards: Vortex Core, JD40/45, and nowhere else. Including a second B instead of a 1.75u space makes more sense.

On that note, a 1u space key is also useful to some users of Alice and other layouts. So, all in all, I would suggest making the following changes to the spacebars kit:
– remove 1.75u space
– add 1u space
– add second B

Do you have the exact codes of the colours you used ? Would be nice to get an idea of what it (especially the base colour) looks like IRL

Here are the RAL colors I've chosen based on my RAL color swatch :
base kit : 290 30 20 / it's pretty similar to gmk rouge indeed  :) careful because on screen it looks wayyy lighter than it looks irl on the printed RAL color swatch, I'll try to post a picture of it ! What I want looks more like 290 20 15 on screen, so I'll make sure that the final color looks like the render when i'll get samples from gmk !
R1/ R4 (blue) legends : 270 70 25 knabenblau
R2 legends : 040 60 60 korallenorange
R3 legends : 050 80 30 fahlorange
R4 (yellow) legends : 080 80 60 vollgelb

I will add this in the first post !

That's good to hear. You can reduce it down to one 1u if you aren't planning on support ortho boards. But combining the novelty kit with the second 1u technically allows you to cover ortho grid layouts as well.

Edit: Thanks to Dvorcol for pointing the above out.

Personally I like the design of the engravings (especially the finger heart) but I'd love to see the RAMA caps with an enamel filling, like the dark blue base color on the gold would contrast incredibly well imo.
Another option would be to have the entire heart recessed instead of just being a line art and having it enamel filled while leaving the hand as is
I feel like it would make the cap more interesting to look at :D
I'll for sure get the base kit and the novelties anyway !

Love it, super basic 40s compat would be appreciated :)

Thanks ! Unfortunately, I think it would struggle to reach 250 MOQ  :(

250 MOQ is for the base kit, 100 would be for child kits. For super basic 40s reference something like GMK Deep Navy

https://cannonkeys.com/products/gb-gmk-deep-navy?variant=31505722474607

or simply adding a single 1.25 R3 "Tab" to the base kit would give all the necessary row profiling, then with the addition of the bars kit it would be fill in the rest.

Would second this suggestion, would highly appreciate that 1.25u r3 tab. I know it's hard to reach that 150 MOC for a 40s kit, but this would be a good middle-ground

I would like to third this, a 1.25u r3 tab seems like a good compromise and would make me very happy :)

I asked this question a while back, and this was the reply from the threadstarter: Glad you like it, thanks ! I'd love to run a hangul only kit, but since the hangul molds don't exist in GMK yet, that would be a super expensive kit and I don't think enough people would be interested to reach the 150 MOQ / would be able to afford it  :(

I asked this question a while back, and this was the reply from the threadstarter: Glad you like it, thanks ! I'd love to run a hangul only kit, but since the hangul molds don't exist in GMK yet, that would be a super expensive kit and I don't think enough people would be interested to reach the 150 MOQ / would be able to afford it  :(


I am running a mono Hangul kit for my set GMK Red Devils (banner in my signature), so if that makes MOQ, feel free to use it for this set.

Really nice idea for the entire set.

What would be really nice, and would emphasize the entire Korean Night-scene even more, would be if the keycaps could be backlit. Maybe this requires another set of keycaps to be completely supporting the RGB of supporting keyboards.

I think this would bring the whole topic of Korean Nightlife definitely to the real level.

I'm definitely loving the "love" golden keycap. Is that one also available separately?

GMK does not produce backlit keycaps. This is due to how their plastic injection process works; they are unable to produce completely clear plastic legends that are of satisfactory quality.

Yes, the RAMA artisan keycaps will be available for purchase separately.

None, these are incredibly boring. Please have another crack.

Edit* they dont look bad, i was just hoping for a more fun mat to go with such a fun set. Its a bit too plain for something with that much vibrancy and fun in those novelties.

I agree, but they’re not necessarily boring. I do however hope you can incorporate the images on the novelties on a navy deskmat? That’s what I was imagining

The dark purple deskmat is probably the best of the bunch.

Personally though, I agree with the others that it's kind of boring. They're comfy and safe, but nothing that makes it stand out from other deskmats. Something like a simplified, dark Seoul night cityscape would have been super cool and really in the character of the set.

I thought that most of people were expecting a "skyline" type of design but to be honest I'm not really a fan of these. The set is more on icons, and simplified shapes, I wanted to keep that minimalist design on the deskmat too ! Plus, I think that the color per row aesthetic is already visually strong enough and I didn't think that a strong design on the mat would match, it would have been too much  :thumb:

Just have a few questions that I don't seem to find an answer too;
1. Do we know an approximately price for the set and extras?
2. When is it expected to ship? Q1, Q2 ?

Have you thought of adding the same hangul sublegends on the numpad set like GMK Taegeukgi, its the same mould so it shouldn't cost more (But what do i know)? Just a thought, not really fussed about it, I just personally think it just balances out the look if you have a fullsize with the alpha sublegends

I don't think Korean keyboards have that. It would be equivalent to having "one, two, three, ..." written on English keycaps.


@Bidulomachin, I know it's pretty late. What would be really cool would be to have an Alt that says 한/영, either instead of Alt or additionally. Did you leave that out on purpose? Do Korean keyboards not have that spelled out either? I would love it. My Korean friends actually asked me how to switch to Korean on my keyboard. Thanks and have a great day, this set is b-e-a-utiful! :)

I was actually thinking of the way Fredington did it in Red Devils:

There would be existing molds for it, and easy enough to slot in rather than an extra new novelty in that regard, especially in the slim chance it'd be put in a week before gb date.
