Also, I would prefer an alt katakana kit over an alt alphas kit; you probably don't need the f-row keys in the alt kit since the mods kit already include those keys, unless the f-row is meant to be red in the alt kit.
Post by: Rensuya on Tue, 03 December 2019, 16:58:06
You have a render with purple katakana alphas... but this does not appear in the kit? Is this a mistake? Looks good! I am curious about that all purple render thoughYeah, that was a goof on our part. But I'll offer it if people want it as well.
Megumin is my favorite konosuba character so gonna go hard on this set. Might even have to make a board with a big ass enter so I can use that sweet novelty enter keycap.

Yeah, like I said above it was a goof that happened but I can offer alt kata if people want. Also, the f-row was a goof, will fix it.

I would just borrow the kit layout from Lich, since Boardwalk support is pretty important for ergo kits.
Post by: Rensuya on Thu, 05 December 2019, 12:42:40
The ergo kit seems like it has duplicates of some keys (same profile and icon for home and end are repeated, maybe some others too)His kit and mine are already the same. We made the kits together as we both added Boardwalk support.

-Fixed error with tilde key on Alphas kit
-Fixed error of sizing label on spacebars kit
-Changed The Ergo kit to have less duplicate keys
-Changed The name of the "ISO" kit to "US + UK ISO"

The first is scooped homing keys and secondly I think the Katakana kits should also have an R2 厶 for ISO compability.
EDIT: I noticed two other things:
1. There is no red コ in the Spacebar kit or anywhere else.
2. There are R4 Pipe/厶 keys in the Alphas and Alt Katakanas but no R4 厶 in the red Katakana kit.
Post by: Rensuya on Tue, 10 December 2019, 10:29:28
I really like this set but I noticed two things I feel are missing from the kits.I actually made these changes to goddess already, just have not had time to update here yet. But those will be added, thanks for the heads up though!

One thing I have noticed is that the KAT sets ( Atlantis | Goddess | Explosion ) all have alternate alphas that are sadly not supported by the international kits.
I do realize that fixing this would mean that we either have huge NorDE kits or a large amount of smaller kits (Not to mention the extra work creators have to put in).
Since I do not know much about creating a keycap set myself I would be interested to know if theres a feasible way to fix this.

That's what I assumed, but I don't see one available for Lich and that one has a deskmat in the renders as well
Mine's (hopefully) running separately due to an issue specific to Lich's timing - I'm sure Ren will run his alongside the set ;)

there seems to be a lot more inspiration and creativity in the people putting together KAT sets
That's a pretty harsh thing to say about the entire keycap community. Plenty of people have inspiration for their keysets no matter what profile it is. The creativity for keysets has nothing to do with profile, your comment is just gatekeeping. While I love KAT sets and am working on one myself I put a lot of effort and inspiration into GMK Ashes, and I know countless others who put so much effort into their keysets and ICs.

The creativity for keysets has nothing to do with profile, your comment is just gatekeeping. While I love KAT sets and am working on one myself I put a lot of effort and inspiration into GMK Ashes, and I know countless others who put so much effort into their keysets and ICs.
It's just what happens when you have to use a mediocre profile so these failing child kits can be made. Gotta hype it up even if that means ****ting on other people

interpret this however you want, but imo, people are nostalgically attached to GMK.
it's not to say that GMK kit designers put any less effort into their sets, but the fear to stray away from the norm, and experiment with KAT is something that a lot of people have.
undeniably, KAT sets have a lot more attractive kitting structure to a lot of people, which is the opposite of gatekeeping, since everyone can use their preferred layout.
gatekeeping is the wrong word to describe that phrase, but it's not that using KAT profile means that set designers are putting in more effort.
just my 2 cents tho

His original phrasing made it seem like gatekeeping, he never replied so I don't really know his stance on it, but some people are cozy with GMK and yes you are right, don't want to experiment with other profiles. Luckily I'm not going to get in that slump, I do have other GMK sets in mind, but before I IC those I would like my next set to be a KAT set so I can experience KAT for the first time :)

It is possible to compliment something without putting something else down. While I appreciate the compliment for Lich, comments phrased like this only end up causing more division.
It is also worth noting that with GMK (and any other ABS doubleshot keycap manufacturer), you do not have the freedom of things such as custom legends without running into significant cost.
PBT dye sublimation allows for a lot more freedom. This is not simply due to "lack of creativity".

In the meantime I have some more updates I'm working on now but those will be a few weeks as I'm trying to get updates finished for KAT Atlantis first since that set is running much sooner.
Also, if any are following my KAT Goddess set, updates are on the way for it as well. It's sure to be an amazing 2020 for KAT sets!

For the novelties kit, I can't seem to make an all-novelties non-standard bottom row work.
Take Evolv for example - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104531.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104531.0) (or any other keyboard with its layout):
1.50u Left Ctrl = Hat
1.00u Left Windows = Flame
1.50u Left Alt = Hat again? (same symbol used for Left Control)
1.25u Right Alt = Eyepatch (doesn't match Left Alt)
1.25u Right Fn = Cast
Basically, I would like to have two additional 1.50u R1 novelty keycaps of a different symbol to prevent overlapping the same symbol onto different keys. Probably eyepatch since it only comes in 1.25u size for R1.
Someone, please correct me if I'm looking at this wrong. I should have gone to sleep a while ago.
P.S. I also agree with pearlyeti about adding 1.00u R2 & R3 novelties to cover a full vertical function row.

Awesome! Also, if you're going to update some things, please also consider adding another pair of 1.50u R1 novelties. That way an all-novelties non-standard bottom row would be possible in a way that makes sense.Hi, great looking set!

For the novelties set, any chance of 1.5u "explosion" text modifier for R1 for use in split ergos that do not have 2u thumb clusters (such as the Lily58). I know "explosion" is a R2 modifier and it might be a tight fit on a 1.5u, but I thought I'd ask anyway just in case there was a chance to have explosion somewhere on my keeb.they're 2.25u which makes me sad as a split ergo user i can make it fit but still

Thanks for catching my mistake. 1.5u would probably be impossible to fit for sure :/
Maybe a mini explosion? (besides the flame)

Keep in mind that people who buy ortho will also be ergo users like lily58, corne, kyria, etc the ergo splits that barely use 2u or bigger than 1u keys. I personally need a second 2u key on the ortho set and theres also planck and other actual orthos that can use 2 2uI'll make note of this. I'm guessing you mean a 2U spacebar?

Would it be possible to move the 6.25u spacebars from the alpha sets to the mod sets instead? Then we could have the 3 different coloured spacebars (red/purple/yellow) in both 6.25u and 7u in the mods? Wondering if this makes more sense since the ergo users won’t need the spacebars if they get the alphas and we get all 3 coloured spacebars regardless of which alphas we choose to get? Then all the spacebars could be removed from the different alpha sets! (Got this idea from Minterly’s KAT Eternal set)

That does make a lot of sense. That way if people want multiple alphas sets and only one mods set they won't have a bunch of extra 6.25u spacebars lying around. And like you said, this way everyone will get a brown 6.25u spacebar to go with their mods even if they don't get an alt alphas set.

With these extra keys two alpha kits and one modifier kits would cover two boards (TKL/60%+60%/65%) with different bottom row layouts and Caps Lock type.

Could you add a second Tab to the mod kits (and maybe a second 2u backspace also)? In this case you could cover two 60-65% boards having different bottom row layout with two alpha kits and only one mod kit.

So to cover the De part in the North kit there is missing one key. In Germany we have the same 2 key as seen in the UK kit ( 2 " ) maybe you could add that one (or I am blind and not seeing it)
Thanks ma dude

Indeed, it looks like the 2" key is missing from both the North and South kits.
Also, the French kit has two keys that can be removed:
(https://i.imgur.com/cyxtJNk.png)
These are part of IBM's old specification for French layout keyboards sold in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, but the keys aren't actually used in practice, nor do they produce those symbols (٪, ٭) on any modern systems. The symbols look nearly identical to the ù% and *μ keys anyway (in fact, the key on the right is practically a duplicate, since the star is supposed to be five-pointed, not six-pointed).
If you were to follow IBM's specifications literally, you'd also have to replace all \| keys in the set with \¦.

Also, the French kit has two keys that can be removed:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/cyxtJNk.png)

In french kit you have two ù % and * µ keys. I only have one of each on my keyboard not 2 as in the set visual.
We also usually have the alt Gr result on the R4 as é 2 ~ " 3 # etc.

Really like this set. Any chance of some tweaks to the Ergo kit? There's some advice here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=105714.0) that seems well thought-out. In particular, the part about making the thumb cluster 1u keys R2 instead of R1 makes a lot of sense. I'd also personally really like to see R2 Enter and R3 Backspace or Delete included, maybe in place of some of the existing keys? Regardless, this set looks great, so I hope you'll consider making a few changes to the Ergo kit to make it even better.I'm actually working on some changes to the ergo kit atm!

If I could make one more recommendation from the point of view of JIS, an R1 ー (sometimes the line is inside a dotted box) key would make this perfect for JIS input. This key is the third key to the right of the 0 (one left of the backspace) on a Japanese keyboard, and is used to lengthen the previous syllable, as in キーボード (“keyboard”).
Proper JIS support on kana layout keysets is so rare that honestly I’m just thrilled you have the ろ and the む, so I don’t want to push my luck, but I did want to give you my input as an everyday JIS user.
Other than that, I love the red and gold colour scheme, and I think it would be really suitable for an urushi-themed keyboard I had in mind.
Thanks!

He said ortho, so I’d assume a 12x5u or 15x5u ortho layout?

Hey guys, I have been working on a 2nd deskmat but I am not 100% sure which version of it I like best, so I am going to let you guys help decide which we use. Please cast your vote for which you like best in the Google poll linked below!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScAJwCYqASc74euoIOYVpdHphUg3CG0nVHVoop0HKs7HDeklQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
Hi Rensuya, I took a look at the new deskmat ideas and I must sadly report I could not bring myself to vote for any of them. The design isn’t for me. It’s a bit too busy and bright for my tastes. Good luck!

Hello, friends of the clack, happy holidays! Today I'm happy to bring you "KAT Explosion" or if you will "CAT Explosion" ;)
(Despite the name, no cats were harmed in the making of this IC!)
My Inspiration for this set like my "Goddess" keyset comes from another Konosuba character this time being Megumin the explosion mage.
She and Aqua were my favorite characters in that show by far, so when people asked for Megumin after I showed Aqua it was only fitting to bring this to life!
I encourage you to watch this 27-second clip that basically sums up her character! (Don't worry No Spoilers) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jar1LTxxAeM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jar1LTxxAeM)

You can take the pricing of KAT altantis as a benchmark; the pricing of KAT explosion should be similar.

Isn't the arrow icon for caps lock key supposed to be pointing up? Like a shift symbol with a line under it?Huh I would have agreed with you, but looking around google shows most GMK sets use an inverted shift icon. There are some instances it seems where a shift icon with an added line is used, so we aren’t completely making things up, and micons obviously uses the shift icon with an added star, but this seems to be the standard for GMK for sure.
