[IC] GMK Fuji

[IMZO]

Cool deskmats! highly likely i'll get a set, GJ!

[FamilyJoule924]

Hope you’ve all been having a good day. Made some kit changes (and they’ve been updated in the OP).

Katakana base kit:
- sublegends changed slightly - biip has kindly given permission to use his katakana moulds for this project (see: GMK Honor, GMK Bushido, GMK Bentō R2)

Maybe I'm looking too much into this, but I assume this means the Katakanas are staying.
If that is the case, would you consider a Hiragana only kit? (similar to what Hanami Dango did for example, so just Hiraganas as the only legend).

Katakanas are indeed staying. Won't be doing a Hiragana only kit here, sorry.

that or a katakana only kit and i'm in i don't like sublegends

[kidpid]

that or a katakana only kit and i'm in i don't like sublegends

You do realize there's an alternate latin base kit, right...?

[Dissitesuxba11s]

I really like the muted colors of this set. The deskmats are also sick! Definitely considering this set.

[yh]

Insane renders by pikku, mans back at it again. Definitely got to get the fuji rama, love it!!!

[Anorexious]

I feel I just fall in love with this set, please make it happen

[Rocket]

Would be cool to see renders of GMK fuji on fuji65 just so it feels complete

[FamilyJoule924]

I was hoping to see more renders and this would be great

[Arila]

Loving the pastel vibes with these :')) <3

[JPoc]

beautiful, the subtle pink looks so nice

[Yella Fella]

Finally. Actually digging a set. Love the anodised and a mat too.

[Rx003]

Im in for this! might 2nd gb that ill be joining!

[Saks]

Nice RAMA

[ttom]

Some more renders today on a polycarbonate Finder Works Hyphen:







And some colours:



Kits have also been submitted to GMK earlier this week for quotes.

[Sandy]

Can you make a signature so I can sport this set on my posts? silly request lol

[VellFlamm]

As a Japanese, I do like the overall design of the set.
However, the "Pagoda" artisan is very Chinese-looking and it would be great if you could consider revising it.

[Randomi]

I like this set. Any chance katakana legends could be included in the international kit as well? Would match the katakana base set nicely.

[captainscurvy7]

This looks amazing. Almost a cherry blossom vibe. Def count me in! 

[Kaidesk_Lee]

Absolutely beautiful. That pink is just perfect, so subtle. Really love the desk mats too, especially Paper.

Fun idea, and in an ideal world where everything reaches MOQ it would be done. However, new moulds are expensive and with International perhaps requiring vendor buyout splitting those numbers over two kits / making that one kit far more pricey isn't a possibility.

[MediocreTurtle]

Hope you’ve all been having a good day. Made some kit changes (and they’ve been updated in the OP).

Katakana base kit:
- sublegends changed slightly - biip has kindly given permission to use his katakana moulds for this project (see: GMK Honor, GMK Bushido, GMK Bentō R2)
- added R3 1.75 Control

Latin base kit:
- added R3 1.75 Control

Addition kit:
- added R2 1.75 Backspace
- added R3 1.50 Enter
- added R3 1.75 stepped Control
- removed R3 1.75 Control

Novelties kit:
- added R1 1.00 sakura novelty

International kit:
- R1 ´` tertiary legend changed from ¦ to |

Sakura kit:
- removed 1.00 spacebars

More announcements to be made soon.

Text mod "Control" doesn't work if the other mods are icons, it just looks out of place. Could you consider to changing it to ^ ? Someone made a visual comparison https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=107383.msg2930291#msg2930291

Agreed.

Text 'Control' is fully intentional design choice and will not be changing, sorry.

[azzipa]

text mod control R3 works, imo, as it ties with R4 text (alpha) mods. at some point I’d like to see a set with R3 code or system (instead of control or, rarely, function) to differentiate from R4 and indicate ‘layers’ but i’m not holding my breath.

I somewhat share that sentiment in that as a Mac user I would like to include a kit with R3 Command (full 1.75 + stepped 1.75) in one of my future sets. Function is a nice halfway point between Control and an OS key but I didn't think I could justify adding it here

[Bantalope]

I don't know how I hadn't found this till now but I'm a fan though I defo have some queries.


1: Any chance of an accent Esc key in the addition kit? As it is there are no R2 Novelties so its kind of disappointing knowing I wouldn't be able to have any variation on the Esc key, this is also something I'd like to see with alot of the other keys in the addition kit but its understandable not wanting to make it too big due to pricing.
2: I agree with some other users that the arrow keys seem a better fit for the Sakura kit moreso than the Novelties kit or even the base kit because especially as a 40's user, its a pain to have to buy an entire kit when all I really want from it is the arrow keys while half the others don't even fit onto boards.
3: I also agree with users pointing out the lack of a Fuji Novelty but equally the other novelties seem kind of lackluster in the amount of designs, with only identical novelties available for R3 and R4 (not including arrow keys) with no change in novelty design or colour, and currently no novelties for R2 other than part of an ISO space, I feel like some extra variety here would make it far more appealing.

Looking forward to seeing this set rip my wallet apart because damn those colours are nice. 

[R053]

Can't wait man! Looks amazing, you'll be my first GMK keycap set I buy!

I do agree with you on some of those and have already expressed my opinion previously.
The novelties are pretty lackluster and lack variety, at least we managed to get a Pink Escape novelty.
Maybe they could have been improved if there had been more time between IC and GB.

Don't get me wrong I really like the set and I will go pretty much all in on it.
I will just ignore the fact that it's called Fuji considering some choices like the Katakanas and Mt.Fuji only being present on a Rama and a Mat.

[Ennead]

Any way to get Ő and ˇ~ keys into the international kit to support EST language layout as well? I've never seen them in GMK kits, only in KAT so far. Would love to see a GMK set offer full support.

[evermoonbun]

This is gorgeous! Brings me back to Japan ;w;

[CookieFlow]

I guess we will never know the polls results.

I saw you deleted your [IC] reddit post, not really sure why.
But seems like half the comments were about asking for Hiraganas instead of Katakanas, and those comments were also heavily upvoted.

But I guess you have your reason.

The reddit post was deleted as I'd rather just make one closer to GB with more information and details on kitting, and didn't feel that one yesterday was as necessary. At this point kits are all locked in and not open to changes, and though I understand your criticisms and have thought about your feedback, katakanas are my personal choice with this set.

Re: your comments about novelties and length of the IC - this set's been in the works for around half a year now, and Sour can attest to the fact that we've spent countless hours going over the novelties and details.

[Impetuousx]

Out of curiosity. Why did you make a form for people to vote on sublegends if you were just gonna go with your personal preference? And you say you deleted the post because you want to have more info on kitting etc, which info has not been released yet?

[infinii]

I can't find this on zfrontier. I was hoping to GB/preorder now.

Hey, sorry about that. We've pushed the GB date back to the 15th as we're still communicating with GMK regarding a couple things, though we do have quotes now.

[EdgeOfInfinity]

darn thought that was a light gray rather than light blue. nice set either way, i really enjoy the novelties!

[CookieFlow]

I think a lot of people do think they are grey and might be surprised when they receive the set.
The renders (at least on my monitor) looks grey and not blue.

[yotasan]

i love all of it, especially those deskmats. im in.

[ttom]

I edited it to say 'blue-grey' as opposed to just blue. Rest assured, this has nothing to do with the renders which we've spent some time on making accurate to the colour. The comparison is also included so you'll have the best idea of what the set will turn out as in real life 

[mr_fro2000]

if the pics and renders are true to color, i'd say the mods look like a cooler-temperature grey.

can't wait for this set to run... all over it!

making me rethink everything lol. thanks for the info ttom!

[AzureBeastKing]

looks amazing will buy + deskmat

[ttom]

Small updates today:

- Keebstuff has made a cable in collaboration with GMK Fuji. For more information see here: https://www.keebstuff.com/en/c/cables/gmk-fuji-presale
- swagkeys.com will be Korean vendor for the set!
- Some edits to some legends in the base and novelties kits. Nothing very noticeable, but felt like saying here just in case.
- Added some renders on the Satisfaction 75! See below for those

[tsundeoku]

These are the first group buy deskmats to really get my attention. I'm in for a couple of them, at least.

[hottrout]

Beautiful, not normally my kind of set but I really like it.

[HappyB0T]

Thinks about putting fuji caps on fuji board. hmmm

Count me in!

[Qwapa]

Looks really good but on the katakana base the numbers and a few other keys seem very cramped so at this moment I will be getting the Latin base.
