cool set! i like the unique kitting.I’d prefer novelty on F13 and an Esc as well. Having alternative Tab and Left Shift with text would also be great, but I understand the choice there better.
personal preference, but I'd force the ramen 1u novelty on f13 and keep an Escape key included
Honestly I wish this set fully leaned into the novelties for all the mods. The half mod/half novelty vibe looks odd to me.
Basic 40s support would also be nice.

all my favorite parts of japan including the misspelled english signs :-XShow Image(https://media.biipmk.com/gmk_nightlife/GMK_Nightlife-Banner.png)

theres atleast 2 misspelt words in the Japanese novelties, did you even try?
well on that note オーペン should be オープン
even google translate can't get these wrong
ダイナ should be ダイナー. IMO ファミレス would be better word choice and fit with the katakana theming too, but it's probably too long to fit on that specific key.

Thanks for the constructive feedback.
First of all, the typo in the banner has been fixed.
The set actually has a rather odd kitting as I intended it to reflect a chaotic lighting atmosphere, with light sources placed more or less randomly, as in a megalopolis in the middle of the night. That said, I'm not closed to the idea of evolving this kit, and I'm even considering splitting the base kit and the novelties kit.
There's actually a translation error for the word "Bar" (I had put バール but the correct translation is バー; my bad). This will be updated on future renders.
I really like the idea of a novelty for F13, I must admit. I didn't think there would be many of you mentioning it! So I'm going to plan this :thumb:
Regarding R4 PgUp and PgDn, it will depend on the final cost of the base kit.
Concerning the kitting, as mentioned above, I think it would be a good idea to make some changes. If I separate the novelties from the base kit, I think adding basic support for 40% layouts would be feasible. The (initial) reason behind this all-in-one kit was simply that I couldn't imagine this set without its novelties. They're an integral part of the idea behind this project (and also part of the objective of a more competitive price than that of a base kit to which you have to add a child kit as well). But I think I've come up with a few interesting solutions, which I'll present to you soon.
Thanks.
not a fan of current NK kitting restraints
btw full novelty mods would look heaps better
Regarding kitting, I understand that the forced novelties imposed are divisive. As explained in the Geekhack thread, for me the chaotic aspect is the very concept of the set. However, I am and always will be attentive to your comments. I invite you to give your opinion via this poll: https://forms.gle/6yhFCshSfqbgA9p47
Let me also introduce you the 2 Hibi artisans that will be available alongside the keyset:Show Image(https://media.biipmk.com/gmk_nightlife/GMK_Nightlife-Render_Hibi.jpg)
It would be cool if Metal artisans were luminous! :thumb:
So, according to the survey, 75% of people prefer a base kit that includes novelties.
So here is the updated base kit, with an additional novelties kit for more options :thumb:MoreShow Image(https://media.biipmk.com/gmk_nightlife/GMK_Nightlife-Render-Base2.jpg)Show Image(https://media.biipmk.com/gmk_nightlife/GMK_Nightlife-Render-Extras.jpg)
that’s a duplicate (mod pipe novelty I guess?) there’s a r2 1.5 nov in baseSo, according to the survey, 75% of people prefer a base kit that includes novelties.

We still need to purchase an additional kit to get the tab novelty...Why not just smash it all into one kit?
now i only wish the caps lock key and the extra r2 novelty were not the same color, should one wish to use it as a novelty tab key. i dont like having 2 pinks in a row on left side where everything else is scattered colorwise.
