Inspiration & Design

More



The inspiration for this set comes from the Japanese high quality craftsmanship. Japanese craftsmanship is handmade and created by people using skills passed down for generations to ensure only the best quality product - a true masterpiece. With that spirit in mind I designed a keycap set, capturing the unique aesthetics of the Japanese culture. The Katakana legends will give the set a very unique look, paired with a beautiful rich blue.


This will be the very first GMK set with Katakana only alphas and mods. So new molds will be created for this set. Because of GMK's limited offering of stock blue colours, this set will be using a custom blue (RAL). The Katakana legends are as you noticed not narrow as the Hiragana mono/sublegends and Katakana sublegends. Instead, the Katakana monolegends are wider to offer a similar look to the latin/cyrillic counterpart. They look like they came straight from GMK. The Katakana-only mods are completely new, my own creation, and were inspired by various old boards. I wanted a more consistent look for the keyset as a whole as the Kanji were left out completely. The keyset has traditional icon mods and text+icon mods, and I think this solution will satisfy nearly every person. I also included all keys for a true ISO and proper ISO Japanese layout (R4 ロ) unlike past sets with japanese legends. The layout was designed on the basis of today's Mac keyboards in Japan but without the JIS bottom row.

Real lighting environment

More
The blue shade depends on the environmental light. All renders were done with the same blue, RAL 240 40 40. The images below give you an idea of how the color might look like in sunlight, on your desk etc. All renders above were done with studio lighting. Most of the time, other sets don't offer renders with different lighting conditions to not confuse buyers. So have a look and trust me, the blue is just fantastic.

I will keep track by using emails. Make sure that you use the same mail with which you placed the order. You will receive a Kepler spot for every order with a GMK Masterpiece Value (base) kit. It's not based on the number of base kits purchased

Sampling is a required process of keyset manufacturing nowadays, so I imagine Energie will spend time making sure GMK gets this color right.

In fact, he might have already? I vaguely recall seeing a sample on the #gmk-masterpiece channel in Project Keyboard’s Discord.

Although the sampling is a required process,I found some project‘s final color is not match the render one, like the gmk peach, the real one seems much more darker than the one on screen. So I think maybe we should get the final color sample before group buy closed

sets have been waiting more than a month for color matching pre Covid and unless it was ordered in early April along with incredible luck there’s not gonna be an actual sample before GB close.

It’s probably a touch darker than the render in real life. Lotta blue/purple sets go that way.

I would like to kindly remind you that the images are 3D renderings and are for illustration purposes only. The final colors may differ slightly. I can recommend to buy yourself a RAL sheet sample if you are really worried about how the color will look like in the end. Even photos are not accurate. Only in real life you can see the colors correctly. Experienced GMK users know what I mean :D

I will use *insert custom blue* as reference and adjust slightly if necessary.

I joined the GB.

I'm a Japanese and would like to suggest on the legend for "caps lock" key. The base kit has two caps lock keys, but each key has a different katakana characters, i.e., "キャップス" and "キャップスロック".

caps = キャプス (It is rare to use "キャップス")
lock = ロック

I think that "キャプスロック" is more suitable for the kit. The legend is composed by two Japanese words. If you break it into two lines, "キャプス/ロック" may be better. Of course I understand that non-Japanese speaks don't care it and "キャップ/スロック" may be stable design in view of the character length.

And I noted that some important keys in ISO layout are missing.

You're right, キャプス/ロック is indeed the better option because it can fit on the Caps Lock key without oddly splitting it up. And it can fit easily into given space. I'll make sure キャプスロック is used instead of キャップスロック.

Can you elaborate which important ISO keys are missing? I am an ISO user myself, and don't think (important) ISO keys are missing

Thank you for your reply!

Sorry ISO keys are covered, while I'm not familiar with "proper ISO Japanese layout" which you mentioned. And I understand you designed without the JIS bottom row.

Ctrl. is of course the shorted form of control, but we don't have a short form of "コントロール" and never use "コント" for control key. "コント" means a comedy skit. Esc. is "エスケープ". Back space is usually "バックスペース", some times called "バック".I know they are too long for 1U key!

Hello Mizuyoukan,

Excuse my jumping in, and thank you for your input on the modifier legends in this set.  Like you, I am a JIS user and joined this community just a week or so ago in order to try to raise awareness of issues related to proper JIS support, as we are very much a minority!

As I see it, there are two parts to having good JIS support in a layout: the “alphas”, and the modifiers.  From the point of view of the alphas, there are three extra keys in JIS when compared with ANSI; that is ー, む, and ろ in a kana set like this one.  ISO has a key in the same position as む, and it also has an extra key on the bottom row, although in the case of ISO it is placed to the left rather than the right.  The key to the left of backspace, ー, is lacking in both ISO and ANSI.  I believe Masterpiece provides excellent support for all three of these keys.

The other side of JIS support is the modifiers: these are the 変換/無変換 buttons on either side of the space bar (英数/かな on the Mac), plus the 全角/半角 and ひらがな/かたかな buttons on the PC layout.  In order to accommodate these, the space bar must be made small enough to add two or three more keys on the bottom row.  Exacerbating this problem is the fact that every JIS layout is different! The Filco Minila / GH60 require a 3U space, the HHKB is I think 3.25U, the Archiss Maestro 2S is something like 4 or 4.5... the list goes on.  It is thus very difficult for keyset designers to support a full JIS bottom row.

Because of this ambiguity, I am still working on recommendations to give to designers with regards JIS modifier support.  I want to find a set of suggestions which will be useful for a wide range of JIS layouts but not require designers to add too many keys.  Until I can do that, I am focusing my attention on JIS alpha key support, which Masterpiece already covers very well.

Nevertheless, I have spent some time looking at the keys available in the Masterpiece kits and how they could be arranged for a variety of JIS layouts.  I would be happy to share these with you if it would be helpful.

I would be very interested to discuss JIS support with you further, as I think with the popularity of kana sublegends and monolegends recently it is starting to be taken more seriously. 日本語でも構いませんので、もし興味があれば是非、プライベートメッセージでご連絡ください!

As I see it, there are two parts to having good JIS support in a layout: the “alphas”, and the modifiers.  From the point of view of the alphas, there are three extra keys in JIS when compared with ANSI; that is ー, む, and ろ in a kana set like this one.  ISO has a key in the same position as む, and it also has an extra key on the bottom row, although in the case of ISO it is placed to the left rather than the right.  The key to the left of backspace, ー, is lacking in both ISO and ANSI.  I believe Masterpiece provides excellent support for all three of these keys.

Yes, they well done for the three keys! JIS layout has too much keys even compared with ISO. The layouts image of ANSI/ISO/JIS is attached for other guys' easy reference (from Wikipedia JA).

The other side of JIS support is the modifiers: these are the 変換/無変換 buttons on either side of the space bar (英数/かな on the Mac), plus the 全角/半角 and ひらがな/かたかな buttons on the PC layout.  In order to accommodate these, the space bar must be made small enough to add two or three more keys on the bottom row.  Exacerbating this problem is the fact that every JIS layout is different! The Filco Minila / GH60 require a 3U space, the HHKB is I think 3.25U, the Archiss Maestro 2S is something like 4 or 4.5... the list goes on.  It is thus very difficult for keyset designers to support a full JIS bottom row.

Because of this ambiguity, I am still working on recommendations to give to designers with regards JIS modifier support.  I want to find a set of suggestions which will be useful for a wide range of JIS layouts but not require designers to add too many keys.  Until I can do that, I am focusing my attention on JIS alpha key support, which Masterpiece already covers very well.

Haha :)) Every keyboard or laptop pc has different layout! Especially right bottom area is the chaos!
When we set a programable layout, we assign Japanese modifiers with tap/hold function, eg. "変換" on tap and "control" when it is held.

Frankly speaking most Japanese people don't use kana legends, which is the legacy of word-processer era. We use the alphabetic input method, but have to switch Japanese/alphabets with using "半角/全角" key or combination of "変換" and "無変換". I have never used "ひらがな/カタカナ"!

As for the JIS bottom row, I think it is only way to replace right control, os or menu keys to Japanese keys. So 1U or 1.25U keys may be fine.

Nevertheless, I have spent some time looking at the keys available in the Masterpiece kits and how they could be arranged for a variety of JIS layouts.  I would be happy to share these with you if it would be helpful.

I would be very interested to discuss JIS support with you further, as I think with the popularity of kana sublegends and monolegends recently it is starting to be taken more seriously. 日本語でも構いませんので、もし興味があれば是非、プライベートメッセージでご連絡ください!

I know non-Japanese loves カタカナ, but I cannot understand :p As usually foreign guys loves a country's culture much more than its citizen!

I' ll send a pm to you.

I just purchased the Base, Clarity, and EndGame Deskmat!  This is my first group buy for anything keyboard related, I am so excited :D

Edit: I am a little bummed that I couldn't secure the cable as the end date was yesterday as opposed to the cut-off for group-buy for the key caps being today.

The lucky winner will be contacted and notified.

Just a quick reminder: today is the last day to order GMK Masterpiece. Since we hit MOQ, all kits will be made! If we hit 1000 Base kits, that would be amazing. Extra keys, anyone? :)

Finalized numbers! Extras included, all vendors updated

I want to thank everyone who joined and supported this set! Numbers have skyrocketed in the last days. We hit 1500 Base kits! As promised there will be an extra key: A Katakana Tab in the West kit so people who bought Base + West can fill 2 boards with japanese modifiers.

I will post updates and collaborations here. And of course I will also announce the winner of the Kepler


Value / Base: 1500
Clarity / Icons: 320
Preserving / Spacebars: 469
West / Latin alphas: 332

Wave: 578
Endgame: 674
Square: 153

Knife Gold: 362
Knife Black: 342
Master: 301


Edit: Deskmats and RAMAs numbers were without extras

I guess this means no Katakana Esc key then?

I proposed the idea to the vendors, but given how cheap the set was overall, unfortunately that's not possible. The decision is not up to me

Striker is a different tone of blue, and different legends, but similar vibes. I think striker R2 is running soon, maybe u can consider that as alternative

Anyone have any updates on the deskmats? Seems like the US vendors fulfilled them as there’s been a few circulating mechmarket on Reddit the past month and half, but no word from the Canadian vendor (Assuming the same for other regional vendors as well).

Not really sure what your justification for this statement is. Set is running custom colors and (I think) new molds from GMK. Given all of the delays that they have across every other set that's ran in the past year and a half, this is just the status quo. Unfortunate for sure, but not even remotely close to being able to start making accusations against the runners.

Guys, there is a global shortage on ABS plastic. Case in point: there is a shortage of baby bottles. The bottle that my baby likes has been sold out for 3 months. At this point, she won't even be using a bottle by the time they come back in stock.

This is not some conspiracy at GMK. They want to put keycaps in our hands even more than we want them.

and not delivering (unless you're mito/drop but that's a whole different can of worms). and precisely what I meant by "reputation at play".

sounds like more reasons to put commissions on hold. there's more custom sets still in production queue than the ones that got physically released.
I'm personally ok with that as I have no need of instant gratification from my purchases, but I can't blame or shame people that feel their trust is being abused.

evidence for their reputation actually being damaged in a business sense would be in the form of lower GB numbers which is not happening. So until that happens GMK has 0 to worry about. GMK has 0 reason, obligation, or motivation to not continue to take orders. more orders doesnt slow down their current queue either.

It's difficult to fault a business, whose primary goal is to make money, for accepting payment from willing customers. I'd definitely consider it a bit irresponsible, but the blame falls mostly on us, the customers, for continuing to purchase GMK keycaps despite their enormous backlog and never-ending delays. We don't need GMK keycaps.

Just updated on ProjectKeyboard:

EST SHIP DATE:TBD

(08/01) Requested R5 samples. R4 failed acceptable DeltaEab.

So it took about three months to get the samples, so assuming on 12/2021 R5 samples arrived and approved, we'll see this ship around March 2022?

Hello everyone, the long wait is nearly over. GMK has started shipping the set and this means, vendors will likely start receiving their orders over the coming few weeks.

AND do not trust any taken photos. You need to see the colors in person first before judging color matching. They turned out great. A spectrophotometer was used to match the samples from GMK to ensure color accuracy

Reach out to support from the vendor you purchased from as sometimes GMK mistakenly kits the incorrect keys. They should have replacements for you.

This is what they told me when I query my order- “ your order is currently on hold and unfortunately the process to reship to the UK without reaching the threshold is still ongoing, however our VAT has been completed and we are at the stage of implementation.
due to restrictions, we are able to ship only orders with a minimum value of 187,55 EUR VAT Inclusive.
we advice customers to still wait for the UK process to be completed or add an item to their existing order to reach the minimum required amount.

please feel free and let us know how to proceed” your gonna have to either order more stuff to reach that threshold and suffer paying more import fees etc. or wait til they find a solution. It truly sucks haha
