Excited. Any timeline biip? Is it going to be drop before the end of this year?

Noice, more time to farm some cash
I want to run it on Q1 2019, so I have time to make everything perfect. I’m actually working on deskmats, artisan keycaps and some other interesting stuff ;)

Also, Candykeys and Novelkeys confirmed to be proxies.
I’m waiting the quote from GMK but they already told me that Q1 2019 sounds good (leadtime 12-14 weeks after order).

Cherry icons (icons only) as a seperate kit. Like Gmk burgundy r2. Do understand cost will be on the high side. It’s just an idea.

I need to look at the MOQ then, might be interesting.

do you think you’ll be working towards early Q1 or late Q1?

early Q1 (january-feb) would be perfect :3

and in terms of artisans, do you mean rama caps? Or specific, limited run color ways of popular artisans

I’ll get as much samples as needed for that don’t worry!
It wasn’t easy to find the same Pantone correspondence, but I’m confident, we can still tweak the color.

I've been waiting so long for the GMK Carbon R2 to drop, and there came this set. If my pocket only allows me to choose one, I'll easily and happily pick this one!

Also, super excited to have ZFrontier as one of the vendors.

I just got the first renders for the biip x Rama keycap project for Bentō!



Salmon red anodized aluminium with white enamel fill.
The icons are still in WIP phase at this moment! I might change it if ever I don't want to have the same icon which is already included in the base kit.

Let me know what do you think of them :)

I think the two different thicknesses might be weird, especially on the thinner one.

Have you thought of doing two with the japanese characters for bento?

Color looks great though!

Maybe some blue ones would also be cool

Thanks!

Indeed, I think if there are 2 keycaps they should have the same thickness.
A Japanese character might look good but it's not that original. I need to think about that :)

I kinda like it being on the same timeline - you get caught up in a set and I find myself more likely to buy "luxury extras" (like the Rama keycaps) when I'm buying the base kit and less likely to come back to a set at a later date and invest more in it (with some exceptions of course).

I like the right Rama keycap (the thicker one), and the thinner one a little less so. As you and others have commented, I think they should try and be the same thickness. As for the second novelty...hmm... I rather like the idea of something food related rather than a Japanese character personally. Is there perhaps some sort of Miso soup icon?

Well, have to admit that the Return novelty is kinda busy, i will definitively rework it.
However, I did not receive may bad reviews about the novelties (with like more than 300 responses on the poll), so I'm actually a bit surprised.

On the other ones, I could try to actually make meals (like sashimis, makis, and stuff) but I really liked the fact of having something simple, abstract, and geometrical. I didn't want to fall into that cliché of making a bowl of rice, a sushi, a Japanese flag or whatever. I think that the novelties are currently matching to each other pretty well.

Let me know what do you think about em. I can totally rework the novelties!
I still have some leftovers novelties I didn't use for this set ;)

I'm a big fan of the more abstract/geometric novelties...

Unrelated – and I'm in a minority here I'm sure – but I'd love to see 2 x 1.5u code and 2 x 1u alt for proper bottom row HHKB layout  ;D

I tested a few things, but in the end, it mostly looked "off", so I decided to make 2 Rama keycaps with the same icon (Ō):
- Aluminum with white enamel fill
- Brass only with bevel

The spacebar kit looks to be missing 1u caps.

For what kind of layout would you need one?

I should receive a RAL colors box soon. But yeah, I'll order enough samples from GMK to have the more accurate color possible ;)

Yeah that is the kind of things that bothers me a lot too man :D

Well, I for one have a Planck with the grid layout as my main driver. If you plan to support the Planck, 1u spacebars are important IMO.

(Solely out of curiosity),

I noticed that this uses a different ramen novelty from GMK laser, and I’m curious to know if other designers can use pre-existing molds for keys... like does MiTo own the tooling for the ramen mold? Or do you just wanna use your own? (Or is the price that it costs for new a mold insignificant?)

I guess I could use his design with his agreement. But since I'm a maniac, I want all my novelties to have the same thickness, so I'll use mine :thumb: :thumb:

What do you mean by a couple?
I could still extend the base kit… a bit.



Also, any interest for a Kobe kit?

In that case you really have to get creative (and perhaps mix row profiles) which isn't too bad. But some dedicated ortho mods would be awesome.

Yup! and if there are actually already enough 1u’s then spacebars sound like a good addition

The spacebar kit looks to be missing 1u caps.

For what kind of layout would you need one?
Well, I for one have a Planck with the grid layout as my main driver. If you plan to support the Planck, 1u spacebars are important IMO.

Then you would need others 1u modifiers. I did not plan to cover ortho layouts anyway. Sorry!
The base kit already has enough 1u caps to support ortho. All that's missing is the spacebars.
In that case you really have to get creative (and perhaps mix row profiles) which isn't too bad. But some dedicated ortho mods would be awesome.

but that’s not what he wants to do

but if the only thing missing is space bars then it’s fine

I know brother, just having a discussion about how well the set actually covers ortho boards as is.

Yup! and if there are actually already enough 1u’s then spacebars sound like a good addition

Totally agree.
