I would just like an make an append to my post talking about the ISO UK keys. I think it would do us Europeans more justice if a NorDeUk kit was made instead of including ISO UK keys into the base pack with options for both hiragana sublegends and latin only legends. I'm really not happy with the idea of having inconsistent keys where i'll be missing hiragana on several keys leaving me with gaps across the board. I hope for a response from someone.

I'm sure it's just an oversight in the renderings, but that's been pointed out since day 1 and zero acknowledgement from JTK in almost 3 months. Quite disappointing.

Obviously, I can not speak on behalf of JTK, but I did work with them for a little and understand how their ICs are ran. The designer of this set is not an English speaker or is at least uncomfortable running an IC to English speakers, so JTK felt obligated to post the IC on behalf of them to the forum.

As for if JTK relayed the message to the designer regarding ISO UK/NorDeUk or if the designer never gave a response, I do not know. However, from the looks of it (and this is my opinion and is not backed up), if there was an update regarding kits, it most definitely should have been updated. I feel that it is quite unlikely that those kits will be provided; however, I could be wrong. I do know JTK is more active on discord, so maybe reach out there!

Echoing what has been said, would like to see black "| \" and "~" on latin alpha kit and R2/R3 PgUp/PgDn for 65/75% compatibility.

The red on pink color takes away from the relaxing nature of the keyset and I feel like white or a dark grey would work much better.

I would like to see alternate icons for caps lock and 1.5U backspace as well, or even just text legends "Caps" and "Backspace".

The darker sublegends suggested looks really good.

I hope to pick up a set regardless if these changes are implemented, but I do think the compatibility for 65/75% is most important.

I was able to get in touch with rifen through someone else at CMM.Studio and it appears that he did raise this concern already with JTK. The issue is that JTK simply does not have the moulds to carry out this process and I think JTK would expect rifen to pay for these moulds himself so unfortunately nothing can be done about it. This is how I understand the situation anyway.

I never ask designer to pay for anything sir. I just share profit with them.

we add so many pgup and pgdn(all cover R1~R4) into this set. For the 1.5u backcpase, we add legends "backspace " too, but this set uses icon modifier, so it will still use the old key.

For the design, it depends ont the designers, not me sir.

For the layout, we will update before GB start.

Really digging this set, is JTK a different profile from the cherry profile? I think I have heard it was slightly different, but I cant remember

Per the OP (quote below), this set will be JTK's CA profile.  CA = Cherry profile, same as what GMK uses.  Small details might vary between manufacturers (surface texture, edge breaks, etc.) so they may not be exactly the same as GMK's.  JTK also makes HSA profile = "Half-height SA."  I've labeled JKT's pictures:



Hello everyone, I am coming to bring you a new set called "夜桜 NightSakura".

Designer: rifen
Manufacturer:JTK
Profile: JTK CA double/triple shot (hiragana, 2 same color)

Nice to see the new added keys, also the black ~` key is gonna be R1, right? Because in the render it's R2

Also, can you add 1u R4 Fn key to the base kit, you already have 1.25 Fn key.

Why is there a 1U PgUp of R4, shouldn't it be a 1U Fn of R4? Is this a rendering error? It's incredible!
Also, can R2's 1.5u Backspace be modified to R1's Backspaced? It looks more coordinated!

TKC is claiming March 2021 on the official GB page, as of today.
..... so yeah, probably somewhere around July, perhaps later pfff.

so so glad to see this made it to GB-- and so quickly, too :0!
I gladly placed my order for the base, novelty, and pink spacebar kits already on day one heheh. The free JTK key cases included are also a really great touch, looking forward to this set for sure~

Several comments previously suggested HHKB compatible legends but since JTK has no molds for them previously, there won't be HHKB control or right 1u fn key.

Wait, ****, for real?? I hadn’t even noticed this. I remap basically every board I have to have control instead of caps lock. I realize it would just be the wrong cap, but that is going to bother me SO much. Definitely can’t put it in my HHKB style boards then with no Fn key either. Sad....

You can still use “end” on the same row, or 1u “alt”/“ctrl”/“super” which is basically same profile

damn.

thank you for confirming. I had JTK WoB and it had HHKB compatibility, so I assumed this would as well. I love this set's  colors, but what a massive bummer - can still get around it by using novelties for ctrl / fn, but ideally I would've been able to do it with the base alone. ty!
