Any chance this can support Colemak / Dvorak like Yuri?

Exactly that.

Are the modifiers the same colorway as GMK Thai?

oscdawg · « **Reply #54 on:** Mon, 24 April 2017, 01:54:10 »

I love how the bright neon colors contrast with the dark background on the keycaps. I think the retro theme will give you a bunch of cool ideas for novelty caps

yohanskee · « **Reply #55 on:** Mon, 24 April 2017, 01:57:50 »

These are dope. Love the retro theme colorway like this

Loving the look of this set, signed up to the mailing list! I better get an email with a chance to buy it!

pomk · « **Reply #57 on:** Mon, 24 April 2017, 04:33:22 »

Would you mind changing the norde kit so that it is consistent either by removing tertiary legends completely, making it an aesthetic choice, or preferably by adding the remaining ones? If you are worried that it will become too expensive, don't. People are not going to pay 250 USD for a set with inconsistent and/or incorrect legends.

Also:

Quote from: MiTo on Sun, 23 April 2017, 12:19:12

A Norde kit with non-standard european characters and accents, this is an all-around kit that should work for most (let me know if not).

I'm pretty sure that European characters are standard. Non-standard would refer to some non-existing ones or previously unused ways of drawing them. These could be exiting, but are probably not something people would like to see in place of the standard ones. Maybe a non-standard character novelty kit?

this looks awesome. i'd love to get HJKL with arrow legends under for some the vim love.

love the ghost in the shell / laughing man suggested a few posts above. i think a pixelart bomb would go nicely with this theme as well:

Seconded! There's a lot of nice GMK keyset ideas floating around at the moment and Colemak support would really help sway me (although I realise I'm in a tiny subset of a niche hobby here). Regardless, it's looking fresh. Making me want to revisit Neuromancer.

I'm not sure if it were possible or have enough interest but I'd be all over some Hangul legends on this kit.

So are these custom colors or are you using DY and TU2 for the alphas? If the latter I feel like some might be disappointed in the lack of pop.

JustCallMeCrash · « **Reply #75 on:** Tue, 25 April 2017, 14:22:43 »

Registering interest (as I've done through Massdrop and email)
EDIT: Also, adding a vote for Dvorak/Colemak/other alts /EDIT
Love it.

Quote from: Kev on Sun, 23 April 2017, 20:45:00

Looks awesome!
It's been mentioned before elsewhere but upside down crosses as novelties would be awesome (maybe for Win/Super Keys!) and tie in with the theme (see attached images).
Also was a fan of the original "Kanye" glasses novelties, don't listen to the haters they fit the theme and looked awesome!

Absolutely YES! The pentagon symbol Carpenter Brut uses some would probably be way too detailed, but would make an AWESOME cap.

The cyan and the pink are not going to look like that. They are not neon colors, they don't glow. This is not going to look like the renders, I guarantee it.

Yeah I would definitely worry about the contrast. I bought the Uniq0rn modifiers and aside from the Cyan on Purple they did not look good, very fuzzy.

If possible I would definitely request some actual keycaps from GMK before running the set.

The legend contrast in this set is a genuine concern but this is a really deceptive photo. Everything is fuzzy. Did you alter this photo or is it just from a potato?

The mod set you're referencing -- it's GMK right? I'd need to see it in a lightbox with a good camera to draw any conclusions relevant to this set. Otherwise it's not a fair comparison.

I have the Uniq0rn set as well though my girlfriend has some of the modifiers on her board at work.
I can try shooting some pictures to compare.

Also, didn't GMK Skeletor have a similar color scheme on its modifiers?

Skeletor uses DY and TU2 which is why I was asking about that. While there's nothing wrong with it, it's not really as vibrant as the Laser renders would suggest, and I think the vibrance is what people are drawn to. I'm not sure what's up with Naasfu's pic, looks edited.

It probably is. I'll try to dig up my Uniq0rn set and see if I can make a neutral picture.

Yes Uniq0rn is GMK, and I get that the photo is bad (it's not mine, but it is representative). I'm saying that in person they do not look good, and that contrast may be an issue with this set so get samples. I said in my post that there was nothing wrong with the cyan on purple.

This for sure has my attention, especially the Hiragana Alphas Kit. My two cents, this set would look best with Latin legends with hiragana sub-legends. Do that and you have my business

EDIT: I completely forgot to ask, are we not including any JIS support? or is that covered in the base?
