Special Thank
Oblotzky for letting me use Cadet Sublegends.
Zaum for helping me improve Render Quality and letting me use Werk One for Rendering.
Flex for your FLX Virgo Render File.
Geon for your F2-84 Render File.
Everyone show the support to this project. I can not finish it without you.
Everyone submit Interest Check form, I read all of them and I truly appreciate it.
I know there are many things I can not do at this round, I will try my best if it can has another round.

[Base Kit]

About Cadet Sublegends: I got approval to use Cadet Sublegends from Oblotzky.
Do Cadet Sublegends increase production costs? "the legends don't cost more to use no, as they've already been made" said Oblotzky.
Disclaimer: The Cadet Sublegends in Renders may not be the same as the actual product, the final product will be the same as GMK Space Cadet.

[Novelties]

Novelties are constituted by:
Euler's two most famous constants:
γ (gamma): Euler's constant (sometimes also called the Euler–Mascheroni constant), is defined as the limiting difference between the harmonic series and the natural logarithm.
e: Euler's number, is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828 which can be characterized in many ways. It is the base of the natural logarithms.
Euler’s Identity: 'The Most Beautiful Equation'.
Euler characteristic: is a topological invariant, a number that describes a topological space's shape or structure regardless of the way it is bent. The polyhedra in novelties are: Icosahedron, Tetrahedron, Hexahedron, Octahedron, Dodecahedron.

The collection has 3 option choices: a coiled cable, a straight cable, and a braid cable
- Coiled cable: Double sleeved with paracord&techflex, 7in coil, 4ft host side length, GX16 laser engraved connector, heatshrinked type A and C plug. The coil is tight, springy by using heat treatment and reversed-coil process.
- Straight cable: Double sleeved with paracord&techflex, 4in device side length, 4ft host side length, GX16 laser engraved connector, heatshinked type A and C plug.
- Braided cable: 4ft length, black FEMO connector, heatshrinked type A and C plug. Inspired by audio IEM cables, this cable has 100% braided by hand.
We use high quality signal wire <2x24awg + 2x28awg>, double shielded.
All joint are secured with hot glue and heatshrink. All guarantee your cable will be stable and long time lasting.

Color: Simulate colors on a chalkboard.

What does this mean and what are the colors?

Also consider an ISO novelty.

I will publish colour after group-buy (if interest is high enough for GB).
For ISO novelty, I am trying to do it.

Thank you for your opinion.

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

Like the theme and the novs. GMK GBs are fickle things right now. If you don’t get the interest you want for the base kit, maybe consider taking the novs to CR black and ws1 white and making it an add on nov kit for WoB and vendors could sell along w a deskmat. Getting that kit to MOQ 100 might be doable.

[bigdonnerz]

Looks nice but it's very similar to GMK Apollo and GMK Shashin. I'd be interested to see a comparison

[Keeblet_257]

a clean set, but im not a big fan of the novelties personally

Really appreciate your opinion, I will think about it carefully.

After today I will try to perfect it. I made this set months ago and the laziness has taken over me those days. Thank you for your opinion. <3

[nvh2092]

I recommend adding accent bars and arrows to the bar kit, also re-echo this: please add novelties for ISO enter 

[4milk]

Why keep the colors secret?

[//gainsborough]

Ahhhh Euler.  The most mispronounced name for math undergrads everywhere.

I'm in!

[Cylent]

Your inspiration shows a classic deep green chalkboard but you went with 100% neutrals? Confusing. As others have pointed out, this is extremely close to GMK Apollo and GMK Shashin. Yes the colors are not exactly the same, but nothing about this set makes it stand out from the other 2 that have come before it. At least the kitting is decent, though you're missing mod tilde, and I don't understand the point of R3 1u Home.

I'll pass on this one. Best of luck.

[ankit]

why 1.5u delete instead of backspace

[weekendkeyboard]

I'm very interested. I hope this goes to GB! 

[akameyyy]

Going with RAL 6028 (or some other chalkboard-ish green) as an alternative/primary alpha kit color would be very nice to see, otherwise love the theme.

[ManiacMarc]

Reserved. While it’s similar to Apollo, I think I like the slight color diff of this set themed after the chalkboard. I’m not a big fan of the novs, but I understand the theme you’re going for.

[dallman5]

should use cadet legends or something, otherwise this is basically just dolch/apollo/etc and doesn't really evoke any famous Swiss mathematician influence

[xjack312]

Really like the theme behind this set, I think sublegends could be interesting to look into as well. Also another vote for 1.5u backspace

[CHAOSERA]

This is to my liking and I will buy a set.

[Tyson]

I agree with others in the thread, if your inspiration is a chalkboard you should look into using a dark green chalkboard color for the alphas. It would make the set different from the current dolch/apollo/etc look.

[WaynaPawiasek]

why is it not green

[VXQN]

Octahedron angle looks a little off compared to the others.

[iamtienng]

I will think about it. Thank you so much.

Why keep the colors secret?

Because I could use GMK stock color instead of custom color so it's not the final color, but it would be similar.

Ahhhh Euler.  The most mispronounced name for math undergrads everywhere.

In my country, we even called him \ə'le\  in the past

I will checkout on the R3 1u Home. Thank you so much.

why 1.5u delete instead of backspace

Because 1.5u Delete/Backspace is usually uses in HHKB layout, and the OG HHKB has Delete instead of Backspace.

I'm working on Cadet Sub-Legends. I could do more but I would like to get it to GB for R1 first.

Really like the theme behind this set, I think sublegends could be interesting to look into as well. Also another vote for 1.5u backspace

Thank you so much, I will look at it.

I will look at it, thank you so much.

why is it not green

Maybe I took a wrong example image. Where I live since I was a kid, chalkboards usually have a black background and white chalk.

Octahedron angle looks a little off compared to the others.

Yes I see it too, will look at it now.

[milka158]

Speaking of sublegends, considering the sets inspiration, "cadet" sublegends are the way to go

Novelties are very underwhelming imo

I second this, or ascii

[iamtienng]

Please look for color comparison at the first of IC.

[xjack312]

oh yeah this is much better, definitely in

[eulers]

Considering the fact that I have Euler's identity tatted on me, I'm gonna need to buy this set.

[Magnificent Bureaucrat]

Have you considered including <> instead of cursed double \ for iso coverage?

[milka158]

Please list the exact colors you are using

I would love a deskmat that has denser writing like that sample image, the current deskmat design is neat but a little sparse for my taste

[nostr]

I simp symbols. In for 2 if it runs

[Fraaaan]

Have you considered including <> instead of cursed double \ for iso coverage?

This. If you want to do terminal ISO (basic support) there should be a r4 <>, not 2 pipes. Check GMK Classic Retro Zhuyin if you're unsure how to kit terminal ISO.

Also consider adding navigation sublegend to the numpad. It looks a bit empty in contrast to the busy alphas.

Fixed R4 / | with R4 < >.
For the numpad, I would like to keep it for my aesthetic.

I also suggest adding mod color keys for R1 tilde and R2 pipe too. These are very important for aesthetic in some layouts. Hope you consider adding them. About the new renders, are those N9 and CR? They look a lot like them, however the alpha color is not N9 like Shashin in the comparison you make. I would love to see some deep green for board color 

[Puddsy]

normally not a huge fan of sets with subs but cadet subs actually make this set amazing, will buy when it gets to GB

[Nuap]

The addition of cadet sublegends has made this a lot more appealing. Good one.

[Seunghyun Lee]

cadet reserved.

[DeMechanica]

I haven’t loved cadet before, but on this it’s just gorgeous

[wxstc]

I'm sold!

[Puddsy]

also can you make a comparison image w dolch

maybe you did and i just missed it?

[mr_foggy]

yes

[ankit]

so so so so much better

Hi there, I updated the post with some color comparison. Hope that you find it's useful.

Pretty sad I probably won't be able to do this at R1 to save on production costs. Thank you very much for your opinion.

Includes R3 1u home for some unknown reason but won't include standard keys like mod pipe and mod tilde to save production costs. Makes sense.
I also wanted to point out the obvious dodging on all the people saying that a dark green fits your inspiration much better.

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

The color comparison GMK Nord is as good a guess as what we’ll get as any out there

Love the work you’re putting in. The alphas being darker than N9 are gonna be real dark in non-sunlight and I’m looking forward to it.

[LXVRGS]

adding mod tile and pipe are not going to bump the price up exponentially dont be that guy
