[Xanira]

Pad printed sub legends?

[mizuwolf]

aaaaaa this is so cute but pls keep mod tilde and mod pipe ;u; I lOVE the novelty designs tho

[Ashardalon]

Pad printed sub legends?

Both those and the legends will need to be pad-printed due to the use of multiple colours, though I'm not sure if the pad-printing method has the same restrictions for novelties as doubleshot.

[hali]

o nice better valentine

Cute set Mr.Chomuwu (*≧ω≦*)

Not sure what's up with all the Pink sets at the moment, but this is definitely one of the best.
Also good kitting 

Hoping for cute mats/rama.

[zoo]

i like this a lot

[BapoDonu]

Thank you all for the nice comments <3 The set is Double shot + UV

[Rx003]

Oh like how more and more Japanese inspired set are coming out lately! Def would look out for this glwic!

[Shinigamii]

I really enjoy the faint sublegends, its not too busy to be obnoxious.  Also its nice seeing the large base kit, Alice spaces and B in base is wonderful

[eyedrop]

Can I have F13 for my pink KFE CE?  Pretty please?

Nevermind, I'm blind.

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

Flowers, peach blossoms, yeah, sure been done.

Rama.
Frog.

[armintehgreat]

Very nice, like the light sub-legends a lot. Base kit is also 

[Hi !!]

really liking the novelties! 

[miah]

soooooooooooo cute oh my goodness~ <3

[ambulated]

The cat novelties on this are so cute, and I appreciate how soft the sublegends are--keeps it from being too busy.

[Nostril]

This looks sooo good. Love what you're doing with the use of printing. 

[keeganzero]

Not really an interest check if you already have vendors and a GB date. Not that it really matters since everyone already seems interested. Good luck with the GB.

[Badmutha]

Pad printing or UV printing?

Also those sublegends are near impossible to see.

It's the same thing when it comes to gmk

[Afresh]

patisserie and hazakura both in may. this will be a bloodbath

[Anthixious]

My coworker is nuts about the color pink, and I'd love this set as well to match it with a pink board I'm gonna build. Looking forward to this one.

[yh]

i understand why, but its a bit wonky to me that subs on mod pipe aren't faded. the renders are insane... based chomu.

[Aritega]

One mistake I see is in the latin kit, where the ろ is in the mod tilde key. That's about it but I'm looking forward to getting the latin and novelties kit.

[chocomint]

hot

[Xemnova]

Lovely looking set! Only comments -

In the base set neither of the tilde keys have the ろ sublegend, and as someone else mentioned in the latin kit it appears on the extra mod colored tilde key.

[misononyan]

no mention that the sublegends/novelties will be pad printed/uv printed in the original post?
pretty weird, i think it's essential that people would know that the subs have much lower lifespan than the main legends

[Lyfe]

Do strongly consider removing the numpad to keep costs low

[e_v_o8]

Completely in for this, can't wait!

[prettydouchebag]

Chomuwu = Best UwU

Damn you for running this in the same month as my fiancee's bday. The choice is clear regardless, but still.

[jagger27]

Beautiful base kit. You love to see it.

[Pontus]

I like pink
I like this set

Messed up the renders but now its fixed thanks for pointing it out

Is GMK's pad printing that precise? They absolutely need to nail the alignment to get that gate novelty done, and odds are good they're not able to do that key.

Judging from this and other previous runs I believe alignment wont be an issue.

40% kit is in the works will post soon !

Thanks for reading <3

[swifthunting]

No idea how printing for the novelties would work but wow, these are stunning, i'm in. GLWIC!

[VellFlamm]

Love to hear that 40% kit is coming.

FYI, Hazakura(葉桜 leaf sakura) literally means Cherry that all the petal has fallen, and is now filled with fresh leaves.
So it is a bit weird name to give to a pink set tbh. But it is a nice-looking set.

Thanks. Looks good. For the 40s kit, suggest white 1u spacebars instead of pink.

I also second the suggestion of adding Rama keycaps. Hopefully both R1 1u as well as enter.

[Nukz]

A bit better than pattiserie! GLWIC!

[CookieFlow]

Plans for a cat rama?

Gib cute Rama (＾• ω •＾)
Yes Rama did some Rose Gold cat.
But you never see Pink Ramas (even Pink PVD), I feel it could be really nice.

really into those kitty novelties <3

Sublegends are not a good example of the alignment you need to achieve on some of the novelties need though. If a UV printed sublegend is 0.3mm off of where it's supposed to be no one is really going to notice because there's a lot of whitespace between them and the main legend. Whereas on some of the novelties like the gate and one of the flower novelties, the alignment between the double shot and UV printed legends needs to be extremely precise, or you end up with fairly visible misalignment. E.g. on the gate novelty, if there ends up being a small amount of misalignment you get this:



I would recommend double checking with GMK that their UV pad printing is precise enough to not have something like the above happen.

[Pach]

Wow those novelties are nice. Never thought a change from 2 to 3 colors on a cap could look so much better.

I am checking with GMK, if there could be a potential issue with misalignment on the torii gate it will be reworked for that to be minimized.

[Xemnova]

oooo 40's support, also the 1u kitty novelty looks like it will be cute, look forward to seeing the finalized design of it - the novelties in the novelty kit were already very nice. glad that you boosted the contrast of the sublegends, they were super hard to see initially

[Kacperoni]

Definitely getting the novelties. Some more options of maybe Rama keycaps?

[engyshow]

Looks nice, love the color way
Looks really good on the Pepper too!

[ThatCometGuy]

Idk who is this set made after, however it reminds me of Miko therefore I want it, really good novelties and colorway.

Reserved! It's so cute

1st 2.25 spacebar in base 2nd in 40s kit
 

What is the reason behind the additional spacebars in the 40s kit being mod colored instead of alpha colored? As it is you'd end up with mismatched bars if you wanted to put 2x 2.25 on a whimsy.

Super excited to see a Rama collab!

Not a huge fan of the color allocation of this one though. I think a pink metal with a white enamel fill would look better.

[CookieFlow]

Agreed on this one, it's super cute ofc

But I feel white Ramas are often a bit underwhelming since white on metal doesn't really let the cap "shine" (pun intended)
It makes it feel more like a regular keycap, and less like a 40$+ special one

[hwood34]

yeah that's pretty hot (even if it is just gmk valentine lol)

[convoliution]

Holy toast that M6-C is so cute

This is actually a bit upsetting, because I had told myself this set isn't for me, but now I want that macropad which obviously means I need to buy the kit to match it.

[chayu]

Ngl those cat novelties and the deskmat...!

[kdam39]

Really loving this set. The cats are adorable. With the new macro pad also. Man, take all my monies 

[BapoDonu]

Just to clear some confusion about the RAMA collabs.
They will be matched to the physical gmk samples as close as possible so the 1U pink cat will be the same color as the pink M6-C which will be very close to the mod color of the set.

[solomonshv]

No more weeb sets

Lol. I’m sure someone will make this complaint on Reddit or even here without being sarcastic. I personally don’t watch or care for anime, but I bought a ton of weeb sets and I love them all. Mizu is still my favorite. I will definitely pick up a base set and maybe the macro pad.

God bless animoos and I hope they inspire more great weeb sets.

[Bantalope]

[rokon07]

This is a great-looking set. I love that you picked similar color but different contrast for the alphas and sub legends.
