Title: [IC] KAT Shogōki [Deskmat updated]
Post by: Kyosurai on Sun, 19 April 2020, 13:11:44
Heya everyone as well as fellow pilots,

(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/666481172943077376/701722317905985556/jane.934.png)

This is my first set of keycaps based on the EVA 01 thus the name, Shogōki. I'm still working on the Novelties and the Icon mods. I will update it up as soon as I could. With the movie coming up this year, I hope everyone is excited as I am in bringing this keyset to reality!

I will update the kits to the proper colors shortly after :) Please bear with me.

I agree. Increasing the brightness+contrast (similar to GMK Unit 01) would make for a sexier set imo. Still excited for this - especially in KAT. GL OP!

I think it would greatly benefit this set, if I you'd add orange accent keys for esc and enter (not just the colour of the alphas), and would make it even more fitting to the Eva U1 theme :thumb:

Icon-mods are definitely on their way. Please give me a few days to work on it.
Novelties are also on their way. As for deskmats, I asked a friend to help me with the design. Hopefully, I could show it to everyone within 2 weeks time :)

A few things about these kits:
  • (French) The R2 ù٪ and ٭µ keys (the rightmost ones) can be removed, as they can be considered duplicates of the existing ù% and keys. The special characters are supposed to be for Algerian, Moroccan and Tunisian French keyboards, but they are not actually used in those layouts.
  • (Colevrak+) If you plan on having homing keys (T, N, U), you'll also need to add a homing H key.

Okay! I'll remove the extras for French when I rework on them soon. Thanks :)
Hmm.. For the Colevrak+, the bottom R2 row have the homing H key you mentioned

I believe it is for the Carpalx QGMLWB layout. But dvorcol is the keeper of the Colevrak+ wisdom.

Also, looks like GMK Unit-01 isn't dead, so....

Technically I would hope to do so, but am worried that it'll look too cramped.

This is a really nice set! I like the hiragana look, but I agree that Katakana may suit the Eva theme better.

While you’re looking at the kana set, please consider making the following changes/additions (here I have used the standard notation of using R1 for the top row and R4 for the bottom, which appears to be the reverse of how you have the rows labelled):


These keys are required for correct placement for people who are actually typing using kana input; also, without the R3 む, ISO users won’t be able to use the kana set either. For kana-only sets, I believe these changes represent a nice compromise that allows JIS, ISO, and ANSI users all to get the most out of the set without having to add to many keys, and I would love to see this become the standard layout for those creating Japanese alpha sets.

If you want to support JIS users further, the inclusion of a 2U shift (which you have! Thank you!) allows for the extra ろ key on the bottom row, and a 3U space bar allows space for the English/Kana keys that go either side of the space bar on a Japanese keyboard.

Thanks for your consideration!  Please feel free to hit me up if you have any questions about JIS layout.

  • Replace R1 む with ー, or add an R1 ー key. This is the syllable extending line character, not the kanji for “1” or anything like that.  It’s often inside a dotted box on Japanese keyboards.
  • Add an R3 む key
  • Add an R4 ろ key

These keys are required for correct placement for people who are actually typing using kana input; also, without the R3 む, ISO users won’t be able to use the kana set either.

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll take in the suggestions and add the keys as optional keys :)

Yeap it will be. I think I accidentally forgot to upload the numpad kit up. Thanks for reminding! I'll update it back up later when I'm back home :)

I know that this set is a long way off, but have you checked out the KAT cyberspace thread? (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104969.0) Do you think that it would be possible or good looking to do the legends in a glow in the dark or shine through pbt plastic? I also noticed that a hirigana set exists, but no dual legend option exists, is that something that might be in the works? And if the last question is of interest, is there any chance for a cyrillic option? Thank you for your time. Justin

A small update,

Deskmat art is in the works. The sketch had been done, and the artist will proceed with completing it. It will take some time, as the artist is having some health problems, but I'm sure you all would not be disappointed with the art. ;)

The other good news is, there will be collabs. So ready your wallets, it'll be an exciting ride for everyone

I'm terribly sorry for the lack of updates lately as well, as college had just started and I'm trying to finish up some assignments and projects. Currently aiming to release this set within the next few months, so there will be a lot of things to work on.

Did you straight up almost copy GMK unit 1 by full metal on everything about this set then just expand because LAT is keyboard community friendly unlike GM - Over prices child kits galore - K

By that logic, did KAT Hyperfuse straight up copy GMK Hyperfuse?

Maybe get permission to use the novelties from GMK Unit-01 also?  I would honestly rather have this theme in KAT profile, but having some novelties would be really nice.

I have tried to contact the full metal before starting this project. Although I have reached out to him before but got no reply from him. As much as I like EVA theme caps, I decided to create a KAT Shogoki instead of clashing with a cherry profile EVA theme cap which we never know whether the creator will come back to work on his set after the lack of update since January.

Well apparently he got permission but there’s a difference between basing a keyset on the same cartoon you guys watch and then copying the same colors in the same exact places with almost same novelties. So yes people do care about that. However in this case it’s ok and your cartoon keyset will be coming to you soon for your next Saturday morning cartoon binge.

Made an account to express how excited I am about this project. Is there any reason why the hiragana characters seem smaller on R4? If those get changed to be the same size as the rest of the alphas, I'm absolutely in!

Have you got any more recent updates? You mentioned you had requested a sample a couple months ago, could you share some pics please? :D

Heya guys,

This is a small update on the samples I received.

There's still some difference on the green. I'll continue working with Keyreative to get it right :)

I hope you guys are excited for this! :D 
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Yea, the font sizes are different for the F row and Mods... I had taken note of it , will make sure it doesn't happen during GB :)

The samples look good! Just hoping for more vibrancy on the colours to get them matching the renders as closely as possible.

Btw, will the R4 hiragana keys have a smaller font than the rest of the keyboard? It looks this way in the images and just wanted to confirm if that was (not) the case? I think it would look better if they were uniform with the rest of the caps, personally.

Thanks!

Would love to see full board coverage, numpad needs love too.  :p
And some of us do actually have close to full size boards (melody96 here).
I suggested it in the form anyway.
Looking forward to more pics and progress.  :thumb:

I'm looking to build a 40%.  So far your 40% set seems to be the only one which has all the key sizes I need (with the right printing/function).  The problem is that the rows may not match up to what I intended.  So I'm curious what the profile on the caps are, if I were to essentially 'mix and match rows'. 

Thanks

(Prior to this, my only option was to splurge on multiple sets or go the cheap option of a blank DSA set.)

Post by: kidviddy on Tue, 03 November 2020, 11:03:19
This is a really nice set! I like the hiragana look, but I agree that Katakana may suit the Eva theme better.

While you’re looking at the kana set, please consider making the following changes/additions (here I have used the standard notation of using R1 for the top row and R4 for the bottom, which appears to be the reverse of how you have the rows labelled):

  • Replace R1 む with ー, or add an R1 ー key. This is the syllable extending line character, not the kanji for “1” or anything like that.  It’s often inside a dotted box on Japanese keyboards.
  • Add an R3 む key
  • Add an R4 ろ key

These keys are required for correct placement for people who are actually typing using kana input; also, without the R3 む, ISO users won’t be able to use the kana set either. For kana-only sets, I believe these changes represent a nice compromise that allows JIS, ISO, and ANSI users all to get the most out of the set without having to add to many keys, and I would love to see this become the standard layout for those creating Japanese alpha sets.

If you want to support JIS users further, the inclusion of a 2U shift (which you have! Thank you!) allows for the extra ろ key on the bottom row, and a 3U space bar allows space for the English/Kana keys that go either side of the space bar on a Japanese keyboard.

Thanks for your consideration!  Please feel free to hit me up if you have any questions about JIS layout.

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll take in the suggestions and add the keys as optional keys :)

I know you’ve been busy and haven’t been able to post kit updates recently, but I just wanted to confirm that these changes are likely to make it into the set.  I am considering getting the matching shogoki switches but I only want to do that if I know this keyset is going to be usable for me, too ;-)

KAT Monochrome (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=108409.0;topicseen) is a good example of a full kana keyset, if you want a guide to which keys should be included (I would recommend maintaining the angled version of ゛ you currently have rather than going vertical like KAT Monochrome, though; that’s a very specific design choice).  In case you ever do decide to explore sublegends, konstantin has a great guide to the various layouts involved (https://imgur.com/a/Y3UDiMK).

Finally, I see you have pretty good international support including North, South, and French sets.  I would love to see a JIS kit so I could use standard alphas on a Japanese-layout keyboard.  If it’s too late for this, fair enough, but if this is something you’d consider please let me know and we can go over the keys that would be required. Feel free to contact me via DM or Discord, or just reply in this thread.

Thanks!

Not really.. I just got real busy due to the end of my semester and was focusing on my finals and assignments.
Novelties (Enter key and Backspace key) are kinda done.

I'm sorry for the lack of updates lately.. I'll add some sneakpeek for the novelties by end of the year. Thanks!
Though, I might put this project on hold until KAT's QC and Delay issues are solved or gets better. Nonetheless, I'll continue updating as I continue working on the novelty.

Merry Xmas everyone! :) Thanks for your continuous support on this set.


P.S.: Would a "Shinji, Get in the Robot" for the spacebar be of interest to anyone? hahaa

i might be in the minority here, but imo the purple is a little too super neon.  On the other hand the purple in the original renders are a little too muted.  Lookin at some source material and the purple looks a bit more in between these two.  Any chance the neon could be toned down just a tad??
