[IC] GMK Vaporwave R2
« on: Tue, 06 April 2021, 21:20:57 »
GMK Vaporwave R2


Hi everybody,
I've become a bit too busy to continue designing in the mech community. Janglad will be taking over my projects. Follow him at his website  qoda.studio or here on GH for future updates. Please don't hound him to work on every single set, he's already got a lot on his plate. I will be finishing Astral Light and then signing out. Thanks so much. -NP



"Vaporwave is an MX-style keycap set inspired by glitchy aesthetics and holographic anime propaganda."

Vaporwave is back for a second round. Estimated for Q4 2021.



Take part in the survey here: https://forms.gle/M6EGFnKUCjiMwcHj9

* Geekhack account not required for survey

Survey Topics
- Round two color adjustments
- Kitting
- Novelties
- Round one set feedback


Parts of survey are optional. You don't need to be an expert. Explanations, context and references are available in the survey.
Everyone is welcome to take part.
 
Round two is set to feature a few minor adjustments that are meant to "min max" the design.

But I'd like to get everyone's opinions and suggestions before setting anything in stone.

 



 

More renders will be added as kits are finalized (i.e. boards featuring hiragana or novelties)

 

Vendors:

Novelkeys (NA)

Additional proxies TBD

 

Kits:

Base (Yet to be finalized)

Hiragana (Coming Soon)

Novelties (Coming Soon)

Extensions, Expansions & Support Kits TBD




































* Renders are not indicative of the final design. Final renders will be posted after community feedback.

I know R1 colors might have been a little hard to read for some people but I feel like that added to its charm, as well as the overall vaporwave/glitchy theme.

This set would look better with lighter/less saturation alpha base color, not the other way around with darker legends.
I like the hot neon pink legends, but alpha base is too dark a color.
The mods are fine as is.

A lighter alpha 'fix' set would be nice.

Nice coverage is base kit, I am sure the price will still be reasonable with a high MOQ.

I submitted the form but I will add it here - I hope this set runs in the original colours.

If you offer a different color for R2, can you run back the Rama X? Since PnC 2 has different colors than 1 Rama is gonna run the leaf n peach caps again.

(Vaporwave X one of my favorite caps)

I've been searching for alternate mods to mix with the set since R1, so I understand the desire for change there. Where the alphas are concerned, I think they are the most vibrant alphas on any GMK set and if you change them at all, it will be over the top and ruin the best part about the set in my eyes.

Sign me up! Though i wish it was in something other then GMK..
"New Novelties" Hopefully GMK isn't still being moronic, and wrongly believe that "sunset" novelty somehow belongs to Laser..
And a survey for putting the hiragana sub legend in the base kit. It sucks having to buy 2 kits.

I've found this set (R1) impossible to take photos of. It is not hard to read IRL. I really love the original colors, the eye searing pink is amazing. Had you picked up the original colors I'm sure you wouldn't have struggled to read at all.

Little sad that I will not be able to mix the sets due to the color changes, I am curious to see how different the colors will look in person.  I personally like the lighter pink rather than the more vibrant pink, but I think the darker purple could be a good change.  I guess I will have to buy into R2 as well to compare for myself :) Definitely looking forward to the new novelty design and glad to see this set coming back since it was so well received for R1.

Since we know how R1 looks in real life, a side-by-side comparison of old vs new colors in the same render would be helpful.

Also please consider mono hiragana alphas

I'd saying changing something from the alphas from R1 is needed. I didn't care that the legends were hard to read, more that it looked sort of washed out in real life.

And please no weeb subs in the base kit.

I prefer new deeper color for modifiers, but strongly against changing the alphas. Vaporwave is supposed to look washed out and dreamy, not neon, so low contrast on alphas is part of the charm for me.

Perhaps, you should postpone the decision until color matching though, if that’s possible.

I am very in favor of the proposed changes. Was slightly relieved when I passed on R1 and saw how some of the colors were slightly muted compared to the renders.

I would prefer the changes to be pretty noticeable from R1, even another profile but I guess that is out of the question.

I always like when R2, R3 etc have some noticeable differences while keeping the same vibe.
It makes the previous run feel more special, but also gives R1 owners a reason to get the R2.

Yeah as long everything works out timing/availability-wise, I'm sure we could re-run the Rama X.

Can't say for sure right now though.

It's definitely been a tidal wave of GMK and I'll add the suggestion for hiragana to base to the notes.  :thumb:



And for anyone who may have been wondering:
I just want to double down and say that during round 1, I was not forced or coerced to avoid using the sunset by GMK or Mito.

I'm a fan of Laser and, to me, the sunset is sort of like its calling card. Like what the pokeball is to pokemon, putting aside copyrights.

So I decided to use something else. That was the only reason.

(Forgive my ignorance if something has happened regarding this topic since the GB for VW R1)

I'm with you on the bright pink. I also think it's pretty cool in person.

Nothing is set in stone yet, though, so for all we know we could end up using the alpha set up  from R1 depending on the community input.

SA is still a possibility, just not this time around.

Fun fact: was considering SA long before GMK for vaporwave. Before the pictures of "holographic" even. I'm a fan of SA so maybe in the future.

Awesome, that's great to hear. One of the largest voids from R1 for me was the lack of a matching deskmat. I have found an alternative, but I would like a deskmat with your creativity and design, as the designer of GMK Vaporwave.

Moreover, I'd like to echo the comment about how the R1 pink matches the aesthetic and theme that GMK Vaporwave is going for. As an R1 owner and someone who uses GMK Vaporwave on my daily keyboard, I love it. It's fine, please do not even consider changing it.

Furthermore, as mentioned above by user LXVRGS, please look into the feasibility of pink accents and spacebars. With how successful GMK Vaporwave R1 was and how much this hobby/community has grown since then, I believe it can be done without affecting pricing as much as we may think.

I do have a question though. The renders show icon mods and not icon + text mods like R1. Is that intentional?

Thank You, definite cop of at least like x3 sets of each kit for me haha.

Tried it out while putting together r1. Didn't look as cool as the cyan so it was scrapped.

Yeah sorry about the lack of deskmat during r1. Will try to come up with something good.

Glad you like the set you got. Hope the overly bright pink has depreciated your vision as much as it has mine  :thumb:

I feel ya buddy. But just to be clear (for anyone else, as i'm sure you all ready know this) MiTo, in no way, shape, or form created the "sunset" symbol, it existed in retrowave, and ESPECIALLY the vaporwave scene WAY before he decided to use it.
I think that symbol is such a big part of the Vaporwave scene, FAR more then Laser/cyberpunk... that it is a tragedy not to include it.. Maybe in a SA version I guess..
and i second the Katakana request, i think it is such a cool looking alphabet, and i think it fits the vaporwave theme better.

Happy to see this set return and I'd join, but please run the second round identical to the first round: this way there is no color matching to do with GMK thus a faster turnaround – or else consider renaming into "GMK Vaporwave 2" or "Vaporwave++" if you change colors.

My favorite thing about this set has always been the combination of the in-your-face pink alpha legends and the muted alpha color.

That said, I always felt like the mod purple and teal are tones that are a bit too cold.

No matter how many times I see this set it always looks so trippy. I feel like the new colors pop even more, if that's even possible. 
I'm really glad R2 is coming around, I wish I never missed the first one, so just another long wait lol.

I personally prefer the brighter and more saturated colors on R2, also definitely in for a katakana.

Happy to see this set return and I'd join, but please run the second round identical to the first round: this way there is no color matching to do with GMK thus a faster turnaround – or else consider renaming into "GMK Vaporwave 2" or "Vaporwave++" if you change colors.

Will definitely consider a round two specific name, if we end up in that territory.

And I hear you on the fast turn around. Will be doing my best to make things as efficient as possible.

My favorite thing about this set has always been the combination of the in-your-face pink alpha legends and the muted alpha color.

That said, I always felt like the mod purple and teal are tones that are a bit too cold.

I feel you

Yeah the mod purple ended up on the cooler side to give that teal/cyan a good seat.

I tried GMK's stock purple a while back (to reduce cost and turnaround), but things got a little funky.

I'll continue experimenting though and if a warmer mod option plays out, I'll be sure to get everyone's thoughts and potentially slap it onto another round of vw.

Thanks for your feedback

Will you consider running 2 base kits, one with latin alphas only and the other with sublegends? I joined this hobby in 2020 and missed the first round. I don't want to pay for a second round with subs since I prefer the clean look of mono latin.

No, that's probably not the best idea, 2 base kits will mess with MOQ/drive prices up. The best thing to do it just add the question to the IC form to survey what people want as the the base kit alphas.
You will probably get what you want. The majority of people seem to have bad taste, and prefer mono-legends for some absurd reason... :p (I kid)

(And again, just add the sunset novelty, it belong to the Vaporwave theme more then Laser.)

I'd say it depends.
If the poll is close to 50/50 I'd say running 2 base kit is much better. If the split is over 70/30 then running only 1 base kit with alternate alphas makes sense.
Popular sets can still target 120$/130$ base kit while running 2 base kits.

I think a base latin only and a base katakana sub would be nice and if I had to guess would be fairly close in sales.

This looks amazing in my opinion, I own the R1 and i really love them but only minor complaint for me is the alpha legends is not bright enough under a brighter light.

This R2 pretty much fixes all of my minor complaints with the R1. Definitely Sold on this one. <3

3-key support for 40s is adding the 3 keys below to the base kit:
  • R2 1.75 backspace
  • R3 1.25 tab
  • R3 1.5 enter

The nice thing about adding these to base is that one doesn't have to worry about MOQ for a 40s kit and can still physically support a great chunk of staggered 40s.

If you're aiming for a MOQ around 1000 it might be worth making a dedicated 40s kit. A good starting point for that would be GMK Seafarer's 40s kit. You could also stop by the keycap designer discord 40s channel where some great 40s kitting people will be able to help you out.

Yes, two of the colors in these renders are more "definite" compared to round one.

I'll chalk up another for katakana.

HOLY HELL YES YES YES FINALLY


Vaporwave ran just before I started out in the hobby, and I just love it. A couple suggestions:
More 1U R3/R4 novelties. I know ortho is a niche, but I basically only use splits, and they can use a lot of these. Even cyan blanks would be great. R1 wasn't bad for this, but the suns were, I think, R1 only? I don't even own a board with R1.


Would definitely like to see side by side renders, but the alpha color has to be the most "rip your eyes out" available.

Is MT3 a possibility? Probably not, with Drop's approach to kitting, but I just thought I'd ask.

Little bit of history:
I actually tried to get this made in MT3 before settling on GMK, but back then they had their hands full with just trying to get the profile manufacturing worked out.

I also tried to get MT3 going right after R1 of GMK, but slots were filled up the wazoo haha

We'll see in the future. I'm an MT3 fan. Just have to wait until they've completed all of the classic and high volume sets I guess.

Something i completely forgot about: The thing with MG is,  at least when the MG Ghost was in IC a couple months ago, they did not yet have ISO enter molds, or sub-legend capabilities. Which REALLY sucks. So if that is still the case, they probably are not an option. sigh..

When you say “Estimated for Q4 2021”, do you mean it will hit GB then, or it will ship then?

GMK sets hitting GB now are expected to ship only Q2 2022.

Yeah, we're looking at the GB launching sometime in Q4.

I personally like the more punchy colours compared to round 1 and icons only. The kitting also, I really like (Alice spacebars, Alice B, F13) albeit it's looking like a pricey base kit.

The removal of UK ISO support from the base kit is quite disappointing. Please re-add UK ISO to the base kit, or consider adding an extension kit that includes UK ISO support like the "Addition" kit in Modern Dolch Light.

There are 6 additional alpha keys for iso uk. I mean an international kit may be possible since this is a second run of a high demand colorway.

Yes, my favorite keycap set is back for R2! I love the idea of new novelties. Please, consider offering a deskmat in R2 as well as more collaborations.

Definitely considering accessories and collaborations. Will keep everyone posted, provided the opportunities pop up  :thumb:
Awesome, that's great to hear. One of the largest voids from R1 for me was the lack of a matching deskmat. I have found an alternative, but I would like a deskmat with your creativity and design, as the designer of GMK Vaporwave.

Moreover, I'd like to echo the comment about how the R1 pink matches the aesthetic and theme that GMK Vaporwave is going for. As an R1 owner and someone who uses GMK Vaporwave on my daily keyboard, I love it. It's fine, please do not even consider changing it.

Furthermore, as mentioned above by user LXVRGS, please look into the feasibility of pink accents and spacebars. With how successful GMK Vaporwave R1 was and how much this hobby/community has grown since then, I believe it can be done without affecting pricing as much as we may think.

I do have a question though. The renders show icon mods and not icon + text mods like R1. Is that intentional?

Thank You, definite cop of at least like x3 sets of each kit for me haha.
GLWIC

Yeah sorry about the lack of deskmat during r1. Will try to come up with something good.

Glad you like the set you got. Hope the overly bright pink has depreciated your vision as much as it has mine  :thumb:

I appreciate the in-depth comments, so whoever might be reading this, just go all out. Minor details make big differences.

Thanks for your feedback

Same suggestion. I think offering accents other than cyan as maybe a separate kit would be amazing. BTW I just threw this into Keyboard Simulator. Used the same pink from alphas as the base color and the purple from the mods as the legend colors.

This set looks great. Totally up my alley. I agree with some of the comments that the hiragana should be part of the base set to make some of the purchasing easier for some of us. The sunset novelty should be an inclusive as well. Such a shame not to have it in a vapourwave set. Hoping to see the GB fruition soon!

sublegends in base would be super cool! I don't know if it is just me but since the background is a off whiteish color it is hard for my eyes to see what the actual color of the alphas are.

Good looking base kit! The only thing I would change is removing numpad 00 (rarely used) and changing R3 1.75u Control to an icon legend (for visual consistency, like in these sets).

I would not add ISO-UK to the base kit. If you're considering running an extension kit or an international kit, I would put those keys there instead.

One final consideration would be to add three keys for basic 40s support (R2 1.75u Backspace, R3 1.25u Tab, R3 1.5u Enter), either to the base kit or an extension kit. See the second set I linked above for an example.

+1 to the icon R3 control. So many sets have a funky aesthetic because of the mixed text and icon alternative mods

I haven’t followed too closely, but are we expecting an update with sub-legends?? I honestly hope not (unless there is still a Latin-only base kit). Sub-legends drive me crazy even despite the fact that I touch-type.

r1 had hiragana sub alt alphas child kit. there’s no renders of that for r2 but seems like designer will have that again.

base will stay Latin as far as I can tell

Usually when a GB runner does not appear active for 2+ months, its not the best sign. IMO I think it still gets ran, but its gonna suck not being able to get your hands on the set until deep 2023 :/

Many GMK sets launching after GMK Astral gb have shipped though the color matching was supposedly very difficult with that set.

that wouldn't make any sense. sets with unfinished color matching simply get bypassed in the queue.

Apparently someone already got their from Daily Clack so it's probably been months since the completion of color matching.

GB starting soon, right after the fulfilment of GMK Astral GB. What a coincidence right?

so is there definite answer on which colors are going to be used? r1 or adjusted colors for r2?
since we got some new novelties i would love to be able to match them with my r1 kit. i know that r1 colors may come out different this time but that's a risk i am willing to take.

Any european vendors for this one?

I was checking on keycapLendar, but I see no european vendor. Oblotzky is listed there, but no url link or anything.

It will be Oblotzky, this week. Confirmed on his discord.
