Colorway is nice but the novelties could get some rework/adjustment. Maybe make the tentacles thicker and make the tako a bit skinny from the side. I would also like some more tako for the mods.

Consider using Caps instead of Caps↲Lock for the stepped key, for consistency with Scroll and Num, and also because it's currently the only two-line legend in the set.

For the novelties have you considered changing at least one set? the wings maybe since they're not so prominent on her
character considering when she streams you can't really see it. I'd suggest maybe using her hair ornament. Or hair ornament + ears.

I agree with this suggestion. I wasn't a fan of the wings as well but hopefully the hair ornament fits well with the board better.
Another suggestion that I'd find cute for a novelty would be tako with their fang!

Title: Re: [IC] GMK Tako | Major Updates (Color, Vendors, Novelties)
Post by: Izeri on Tue, 22 December 2020, 14:55:14
I've been reading feedbacks and those are the changes I came up with:


I also decided to rework the majority of the novelties, here are the changes:

I removed few novelties because they may be too much of a direct reference, the current ones may still be subjects to changes, especially 1Us. I'm thinking about adding another one, but I still have to decide.
For everyone asking about icons on mods, I think there's too much contrast between alphas with sublegends and clean icon-only mods, I may still consider icons+text tho.

I've also got a list of vendors which accepted to run the set! (Probably Q2 2021):

If you want to be even more non-direct theres icons on her tentacle you can use for the other novelties.
(https://i.gyazo.com/c1a78c4d5a381c240bf785a60b214eb7.png)

I like the redone novelties for R1/R2 but I think it's a little
too much tentacles for R3 and R4.

Title: Re: [IC] GMK Tako | Updates (Legends, Novelties, Kitting)
Post by: Izeri on Fri, 29 January 2021, 09:47:59
I made few changes in this update:
- Due the popular demand I switched legends to be icons+text, I changed my mind and now I think they fit better with the set, I'm still not a fan of that Caps Lock though
- Reworked novelties
- I matched colors, so now renders are more accurate
- Added F13 in Base for better support to some layouts
- Added Tab in Latin only kit so that a second board can be covered
- Added 1u Back in 40s kit
- Added 6u off-centered in Spacebars kit
- Removed 1.25 Enter in 40s kit
- Changed / and * in numpad with ÷ and ×
- Updated all renders

As you can see, I adjusted some novelties to make them look better, I also added a stylized octopus because I think it's a nice inclusion, however I'm not going any further and make any direct reference to the inspiration.
While I still haven't asked GMK for a quote, I do believe that the pricing on the novelties kit as it is right now may be too high and prohibitive, because of that I'm quite sure I'll have to remove few accents I think will be less popular. I added a question on the IC Form just for that, so I can understand what's the general opinion about this, so please leave a feedback.
Talking about the deskmat, I'm still thinking about making one at all.
And finally, I'm happy to announce that Rocket Cables and I came up with a custom cable collab, I'll give more informations about that in the future.

I'm not planning to add neither of them, I'd like to keep it reasonably priced as it is a child kit and has it's own MOQ to hit. I'm sorry about that.

Post by: Izeri on Tue, 16 March 2021, 10:06:28
I know this took a while, but here's the update:
Due new GMK guidelines I decided to change the theme of this set, now it's octopus inspired. This lead to few novelties changes and removals.
There are also a couple of kitting updates. I decided to drop accented arrows in base to allow native support for 40%, without having to rely on a child kit which may not hit MOQ.
I also reduced the spacebars kit to aim for a better price overall. The GB date has also been pushed back from May to June and the set will have zFrontier as CN vendor.
I refined the novelties removing less popular accents (~70% votes agreed to that) and revisiting the 2.25 enter tentacle and the 1u Kanji to make them look more polished.
There will also be a deskmat running with the set and a collaboration with Asero Foundry for a metal artisan, of which there may be a proto pic soon.

EDIT: Novelties have been revisited further and more changes were made.

I decided to opt for a less saturated orange accent, it increases the readability and fits better with the mods. I also updated all the renders accordingly and fixed the sublegend thickness issue.

There hasn't been enough demand for that, I'm sorry

I'm not sure if it's in time to tweak this, but を (key 0) has only "big" one, not smaller one.

I'm not sure if I understood that correctly, are you saying that the top right sublegend on 0 should be removed? Because the sublegends I'm using should be the ones proposed by Zambumon

This will be my first group buy and for my first build and mechanical keyboard. Rather excited since this is hitting so many of my firsts. I will probably have to find a cheap placeholder set of keycaps while I wait for these because these Group Buys tend to take some months before they ship right? Like around half a year, give or take a couple months, right?

With current GMK fulfillment times you can expect 1 year+

More like 1-1.5 years given the current situation LOL.
Definitely recommend getting a temporary set like epbt or something.

Added a second RAMA in E-White!
As for the GB date, we're currently still waiting for quotes to come, so there will be no GB till then, hopefully it will be on the second half of this month but I can't promise anything. if you wanna be notified when it goes live you can fill out the Email Form!

Seeking other GBs, GMK is currently quoting ~43w. Sadly it is a lot of time and you'd be better with something as placeholder

Well, we still have no quotes from GMK and I found myself in having to revisit the novelties. I'm removing couple of them and adding other ones. The deskmat will also change.
At this point I'm hoping for a July GB, I made a Discord Server for the ones interested.
I'm also pleased to announce there will be a collaboration with Amusing Atelier and Melonkeys for resin artisans! More info on those quite soon.

Hope this isn't a dumb question, but. . .   Are GMK mini-spacebars the real thing with a rounded spacebar profile, or are they just. . .  blank Shift keys?  I've tried those before, but the sharp edge is not comfortable to bash with the side of my thumb.

I am pretty dedicated to my split spacebar layouts, and if GMK are now turning out "real" 2.25u and 2.75u spacebars, I'll jump on that.

Not sure on when, but GMK definitely created convex mini-bars molds at one point, so yes they're convex
