[IC] GMK Classic Retro Katakana
« on: Sun, 22 August 2021, 20:03:09 »
GMK Classic Retro Katakana
GMK cherry profile keyset with Katakana sublegends

274667-0
Ex Ecliptica by me [my upcoming keyboard project]

Reasoning
Beige is my favourite at the moment.
With katakana sublegends it would be perfect to go on my silver keyboards.
I hope it's something everyone else is interested in too.

Colours
Mods: U9 background/CR legend
Alphas: L9 background/ CR legend
Accent: 251c background/ CR legend

IC FORM: CLICK HERE IF INTERESTED

Beige is good, but I highly recommend you go for more than one kit. You're just shooting yourself in the foot.

R5 is worth considering!

I did have an idea for a CMYK-style add on kit I could potentially offer, I will look into developing this

No, I don't currently intend to publicly run a buy for the design and I am not trying to generate interest for it.

It's just nice to say, "since I last checked in, I have made progress in this" - or "I am doing this". Since some may have only seen Iconographic and Ex Arkhe, and may therefore say those are the only things I have attempted to do

basic set with weeb subs to advertise you board project, got it

Today I learnt I'm not allowed to render a keyset on boards i've designed. I will remember this for next time.

I've noticed all these keyboard designers who have done the same, or have rendered on their friends/business partner's boards, [and/or where a renderer has used their own board for a render] I expect you will also want to inform them they shouldn't do this:

Don't mind them. You render how you like it. Feedback: please add R3 Pg up and  R4 Pd Dn to the base kit plus a pink iso enter. I would like to have a macro kit and an accent kit which has accene esc, ansi + iso enter and space bar (preferably stock color) for more color combos.

Basekit
(Attachment Link)

The tilde key sublegend should be (correct: `~ロ), not . As it stands, is currently completely missing from the set.
The should instead be a quaternary sublegend on the -_ホ key (correct: -_ホー). See GMK Mecha-01, as well as this guide, for a reference.

The 半角 / 全角 key doesn't serve any purpose in this kit, and as such, it can be removed.

In its place, I recommend adding R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn keys for 65% boards. Since this is a small kit, you may also want to consider including accent arrows; those too play really well with 65% (and other sizes too, obviously, but you know 65% is where it's at).

On a different note, I have an IC tip for you: Use an image hosting service (like Imgur) and embed the images using [​img][​/img] tags rather than attaching them directly to the post. That way, the post will be much easier to read on mobile using Tapatalk.

Consider removing the pink accents since it doesnt have iso and will also likely delay the keyset and instead add childkits for the old people lovers

Agree, no more sakura! :-) What do you think about red--orange color of Torri gates in Kyoto? Custom color of course ... or maybe GMK "P3" or " V1" are close??

red--orange + black are exactly these colors of these gates:
