Infinikey Marshmallow

https://pr-jkt.com/

Thanks Bachoo!

Greetings everyone! My name is PRJKT_ and I’m here to present you Infinikey Marshmallow!
I got the idea months ago during my sister’s graduation party when the kids were in the backyard making s’ mores! Now, it won’t be an
“s’ mores” theme but more focused on the cute marshmallow novelty that I have drawn! As for the colors, I got the combination from trial and error but primarily I got the idea from the make up eye shadow palette I bought for my sister as a gift.

I have changed the modifier color to a warmer tone and I have changed the Pantones of the alpha keycap color to a different one but no changes made to the render as I try to get the color matching accurate as possible.

[beigeandbrown]

I feel as if this set is destined to be in SA profile: tall, poofy, and round.

Ahh, that's a nice idea! Though I don't want to design for a profile that I have not tried yet, maybe in the future once I get my hands on some SA set!

[Bobatype]

GL! Much adorbs. I like the camping fire spacebar novelty, and the hot choc one too. Pls consider a burnt marshmallow one with the X X eyes. Can't wait to see what desk mat will look like

[elkgrove]

really cute set, i love the color you went with for the legends! looking forward to it

Thank you for the suggestions!! Will add it to my to-do list!


Ahh sorry for double posting

[Shoe17]

Love to see the IC up and running for this. Looking forward to see where this goes! If the GB is anytime soon, I'll probably pick it up and probably with the novelties at least as well!

[creativikey]

Those marshmallow icons are adorable.

Color scheme looks good and I like that the modifiers have a non-standard font, but it's still a clean font.

[dibstern]

Not keen on this colour scheme myself but a big up to you for adding option and command keys, nice choice guys 

Update: Apparently I like this now? Lol.

[piit79]

Ahh, that's a nice idea! Though I don't want to design for a profile that I have not tried yet, maybe in the future once I get my hands on some SA set!

I find this quite... entertaining - a designer who hasn't even tried one of the main keycap profiles...

[tiamo123654]

looks great!
but Infinikey...NO.

[blutoin]

Looks very good! but the quality of  infinikey, may be difficult to achieve the rendered effect.

[Lizcuits]

Really big fan of this set, can't wait to see where it goes!

[DrHigsby]

Looks very good! but the quality of  infinikey, may be difficult to achieve the rendered effect.

Please explain what you mean.

[SnowyMinion]

Those novelties are cute but unfortunately colors aren't for me. Might just get those if it gets to gb

[santela]

Some recent dramas with Infinikey, might need to wait for that to be resolved.

[raykcy]

Looks very good! but the quality of  infinikey, may be difficult to achieve the rendered effect.

Agreed.

[DrHigsby]

That spacebar clearly has issues. That person should contact their vendor about a replacement. As for the other pictures, I’m not sure what those are supposed to prove.

Otherwise, you should be posting this over in the græn GB thread and not trying to retcon this IC.

He posted because you asked. But I agree we shouldn't be sabotaging someone else's IC thread.

I appreciate y'all for cleaning up the drama in my IC thread.

Is this ABS or PBT?

[konstantin]

Hi there Please consider taking some kitting pointers from IFK Blacklight — especially in terms of how keys are split between Base and Add-On, and which keys are included in Add-On for 40%, Mac and ISO support and which are not.

The default Infinikey kit template is unfortunately a bit lacking. Blacklight solves most of those issues in its kits, so I would recommend basing your kitting off of that.

Is this ABS or PBT?

Infinikey is PBT.

Please note that this Super key should either be changed to a second Ctrl or (better yet) removed altogether:



Currently, there are three R4 1u Super keys in the kit, and the third one isn't really useful for anything. And two 1u Ctrls are pretty much used only on 40% boards — seeing as there is a separate base kit for those, this key isn't useful either.

Edit: Alternatively, you can change this key to have a generic legend like Code or Mallow or something, in which case it might be useful for covering some obscure ≥60% layouts.

Ahh thanks for letting me know! The Super key is supposed to be Code, I have forgotten to change it to Code. Will be fixed ASAP.

GB has been delayed for 1 week!

They have sent me the prototype but it has not moved so TK.C has decided to move it back a week so I can get a good look at the set before the GB!

[PRJKT_]

Hello! I have photos of the prototype!

Album: https://imgur.com/a/fRHMVvM

Also, I just want to let y’all know that I am aware that the mods of Marshmallow is a bit orange compared to the OG renders of Marshmallow. We are taking proactive steps to make sure that the set matches my expectation and as well as the customer’s expectations therefore TK.C and I will closely work together to have the colors of the mods closer to the pale color that we have fallen for. Also, please do know that this isn’t TK.C fault, they perfectly color-matched the Pantone I chose can be seen here



Also, GB is live!! I will have the GB thread up soon!

[Bantalope]

Will it even be possible to get another prototype in prior to the end of GB or extending the GB for that matter?

Kinda unsure whether I want to jump on it now with how orange the current mods are since i'm not really sure what colour the end product will actually be compared to the renders.

[dibstern]

Apologies, I hadn’t read the message above (my old message was expressing concern over the colour). I am worried about the GB colour matching to the renders, so I’d need to see samples of the new mods before buying. I don’t say this flippantly, I really love the set as imagined, and I have planned a really unique build around it. Could this GB be delayed?

Nope, it won't be possible as TK.C GB's are 2 weeks compared to the others which are 1 month.

Apologies, I hadn’t read the message above (my old message was expressing concern over the colour).

I don’t say this flippantly, I really love the set as imagined, and I have planned a really unique build around it. Could this GB be delayed?

Also, it looks like the colour of the alphas also needs to be redone, as it’s the same colour issue as with the mods.

Sadly, It's not possible to delay the GB, I'll copy and paste what I have said in reply to a user on reddit.

"I asked if I could delay the GB because I wanted to have the prototype in my hands before the GB so I can make a decision. The prototype didn't get to me in time so they gave me a 1-week delay and still have not received the prototype to this day, but I just got an update from the post finally and will have them by Tuesday. I wish I could have gotten more but I respect TK.C's decision as this was planned months before and delaying a GB will affect TK.C's entire schedule. But, they did offer me to delay the fulfillment to get more time to color match the desired color."

As for the Alphas, I do see where y'all are coming from, I could also see the orange on my screen but I do also see the brown-ish color that I picked and wanted. I will have a definitive answer once I see the prototypes IRL.

[Cubic // esc lab]

This is a super cozy and pleasant-feeling set. Good work. GLWIC!

[Vaudevi77ain]

This is tough, I really like this set and was considering it for a build but agree with everyone on the orange hue (loved the original creamy pink/brown tones). Thanks for letting us know about steps being taken to correct, will we have a chance to see some kind of update before the GB period ends?

[C00kleS]

So I am very confused if we order are we getting the prototype color way you received and have updated renders of or are you making adjustments to the color to closer match the original renders and we just won't know for sure what it will look like?

Seems like they're gonna try and match it back to what the original renders looked like. I agree there is some concern here though - since inevitably there will be some people who saw the GB for the first time without knowing what the original IC renders looked like, they may have been drawn to the more orange-ish colorway based on the images and bought the set based on that. It doesn't seem fair for them if the colors changed after they've bought into the GB. As much as anyone on this thread I'd like to see the color changed to match the lighter shade we saw before, but at the same time I don't think it sets a good precedence for future GBs if we start changing colors around after the GB has ended...

I don't see how correcting colors after the GB is a problem. I would argue the majority of people that will buy this set are people that have been following it for a longer period of time than just browsing the website and seeing the renders and not being a part of the community that has been posting constant updates. I would much rather prefer a designer who color corrects upon seeing something a color they don't like and that doesn't match their vision, rather than running with a set a large majority of people who've been following the set have followed due to the color that is not represented by the prototype. All in all, consider it a win that a prototype was even given before the GB went live as that doesn't happen with most GB sets, so it offers a chance to color correct rather than running with colors people aren't expecting (things like IFK Port and GMK Nautilus Nightmares come to mind)

No problem, unfortunately since the GB is only 2 weeks most likely no. The best-case scenario is just waiting to see how to color would go and if you like how it turns out, you can try to snag extras.

I am making adjustments and are working with TK.C to match the original renders.

Yup, It's a pretty tricky situation, I am trying my best to send out an update regarding the colors of the modifiers.

[Vaudevi77ain]

Any word on when the artisan will be revealed?

[ChaosAirlines]

I actually LOVE that they came out more orange! It makes me love this set that much more, is this for sure how they will look?  Cuz if so, I'm hopping on them now!

Edit: I see it may be changed back to proper colors, but may I suggest as an alternative: Running this version as a separate, parallel run group buy?  Is that feasable for the vendors?

I just love the brown and orange so.

Should be revealed this week or the last week of the GB!

UPDATE

1/12/21

Added Target Color modifier color.

Changed the Kits to the CURRENT color of the prototype

Change the Pantone from 474u to 475u to get the target color of the modifier.

I also have the GB thread up and just waiting for mods to approve.

[mainmorbix]

Any updates on whether the final product comes with the orange-y color than a light orange tone?

[Shoe17]

Any updates on whether the final product comes with the orange-y color than a light orange tone?

I'd refer to the latest update of the post that's right above yours. As it's been stated, and it should be clear by now that the intended color is NOT intended to be an orangey color. As such the color has been changed to Pantone 475 u. As has been mentioned by OP, the prototype isn't too far off from what he intended thus the slight change in color. For easier communication and faster updates I'd recommend joining his discord server, but all this information has been said in his GH updates as well.

[fusion333]

I was able to purchase this after the GB was supposed to end. Will I still get it?
