Holy crap this looks good. How will the novelty spacebars be made? Doubleshot or pad printed?

I get that people like it, but does it scream moomin to anyone that looks at it? Try messaging your friends a render without moomin on it and see if they make the connection.
Waiting for the hate as per usual for speaking my mind. :)
I look to be one of the few who has no clue what a moomin is, but the colorset is amazing. Would def pick up a base.I’m in the same boat. Just like the colors.

Really with how this is worded with >greentext formatting, the comments come across as salty and/or jealous more than anything constructive. Formatting them differently might garner your comment less criticism.
By the other comments here, seems like a number of other people are happy with the colors; IMHO they seem to capture the theme/main characters well, although I am not very familiar with the show.
suggested this in the IC form, but would absolutely love an alt modifiers kit here that'd have the RAL color identified as "ice white". i would love to use that kit with the novelty spacebar and "marzipan white" accents. that'd be a dream!
would also as someone else pointed out add in iso novelties. would love a snufkin ISO cap!
I literally grew up with Moomin as I'm Finnish. My child grew up with Moomin as he is Finnish. To me the matter is a national treasure.
I love this idea and I'm going to buy every single kit and desk mat available but only if this comes with a NorDE kit. I don't want to be blunt or disrespectful but to me it would be and insult to not include at least the nordic keys.
For those who don't know what I'm talking about: Google Tove Jansson.

Needs more little my representation!Yeah, I want to look into that as well ;D
Already pitched this in the IC form, but what we need here is a bit of The Groke. She is what nightmares are made of.

great work as always!Agree. GMK is nice but what, we'll see this in 2022 at this rate? I mean I still probably can't resist but...
although given the darker font on pale background design, seemed like a good opportunity to use (predominantly dyesubbed) PBT!

So we actually showed this to the Moomin team when we had to get approvals, etc. as part of the licensing process. And they really liked it! And they thought it fit the brand quite well.
But hey - I guess working for the brand as a job might have tainted their opinions. Maybe they don't know what they're talking about anymore after working with the IP day in and day out
Very cool set but I gotta say not including support for finnish people in a moomin set is kinda not very epic broI am adding a Norde kit!
Node kit numbers are usually dismal (edit-modern dolch light had to sell theirs at cost!) but this set might have an ace in the hole. What if you put a norde set in, and then put one iso enter novelty in there to sweeten the pot. Like how GMK Ursa had Paddington only in the ISO kit? Several beasties here look like they could fill out the space of an iso enter.I am working on a ISO novelty ;D
Box art is as good as the key design. Actually, someone should screengrab this first post, and show it to anyone who's attempting to make a thread here as what a polished IC looks like on day 1.
edit: I'm still not off my soapbox. Hattifattener numpad enter novelty. thinkaboutit.

Micro should be renamed to Little MyBTW. The name "Little My" is originally a pun. In Swedish you pronounce the name "My" and the Greek character "µ" the same way.
why so many asia vender is ilumkb? Postage is expensiveimho, both pricing is almost similar when you add shipping cost from ilumkb
I like zf
Now this, this is epicVery cool set but I gotta say not including support for finnish people in a moomin set is kinda not very epic broI am adding a Norde kit!
I'm too old to have seen the animated TV-series when I was a kid, but for some reason I binged it only a couple weeks ago...I'm aware, not only am I swedish but my name is also My. Little My was one of the reasons why I watched Moominvalley as a kid to begin with ;D
I had grown up with the original books ... and a weird live-action TV series where the actors take their heads off and have human faces underneath - I kid you not.Micro should be renamed to Little MyBTW. The name "Little My" is originally a pun. In Swedish you pronounce the name "My" and the Greek character "µ" the same way.
The author of the books: Tove Jansson spoke Swedish (the Finnish dialect).

Rest assured the NorDe kits is coming! I am still working on ironing out some things. Oh and the NorDe kit will support UK ISO. You might also see an ISO novelty :thumb:

In that case please consider changing the ISO keys in the base kit to the more useful and neutral R3 \|, R4 <>, and keeping all of the UK keys together in the NorDeUK kit.

I second this motion. It will not add any keys to the base kit and removes Atlantis ISO :thumb:

Now, now, let's avoid that moniker and use the neutral "partial British support" term instead.

"This is a follow-up to GMK Moomin. I was planning to do GB in August, but it seems that GB will be in early 2021 because I will make a sample and check it by the IP holder. It's a bit disappointing, but I'm looking forward to seeing the actual photo instead of the rendered image so I'm looking forward to it!" google translated from https://twitter.com/yushakobo/status/1288672609530294273

This will be perfect for my girlfriend!
I really hope that this is still happening. This is my most anticipated set for sure.

Kinda happy tbh, so the IP holder can see how it looks like irl first then it gets produced so colourmatching will be on point, looking forward!
You're setting a pretty high bar for other vendors to get samples before the GB starts, hope this becomes the normal process.
How unfortunate.You're setting a pretty high bar for other vendors to get samples before the GB starts, hope this becomes the normal process.
Doubt this will be normal, I think that the IP holder of Moomin asked that samples and colors be ultra accurate before the GB starts. I could be wrong though but iirc this was the reasoning why these samples were made this early before the GB.

Why the Groke on the iso enter too xD ? The moomin house would fit nicely there :>

Hey guys,
Just wanted to report in and let you all know we had to get one revised color sample but 3 out of 4 colors were approved! Once the final sample is approved we will be receiving a set to show and then we can proceed to GB. At the moment we're expecting the ETA of GB start to be mid-2021.
I'm pretty sure there are two mistakes in the Norde kit. Shouldn't the <> key have a | character as an alternative legend? And shouldn't the |; key be ,; instead?
EDIT: Super excited for this though! Wouldn't be nitpicking otherwise, haha!!

For Scandinavian keyboards there's no sub-legend on the <> key, but I think you might be right about the German layout? I also agree that the comma looks a little weird, should probably be the same icon as in the semi-colon.
I also noticed there is no \`´-key for the Norwegian (and possibly other Scandinavian??) layout.
In theory there should be a 5 key without the € for Norwegian - but this is not a flaw exclusive to this set. € on 5 works in windows, but is as far as I know not a part of the standard for the no layout. The "misstake" is thus fairly forgiveable. Only AltGr+E produces € on Linux.
Oh look at that! Huge oversight on my end 😅In theory there should be a 5 key without the € for Norwegian - but this is not a flaw exclusive to this set. € on 5 works in windows, but is as far as I know not a part of the standard for the no layout.

There is "5 %" without € in the base kit :)

OMG it's happening!
It looked like the GB is on, at least when I checked at Mykeyboard.eu (https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/category/group-buys/keycaps/gmk-moomin_536/)
Wouldn’t it be prudent of OP to make a GB thread, or is my search-fu totally lacking?

Yeah, I thought it was strange that there was no GB date added to the thread. Since it’s a licensed set too, I would think they’d do more promo/announcements for it. Luckily someone commented the date, but if I hadn’t of joined their discord I prob would of still been waiting :'(

A little unfortunate for such a great set. At this point mostly it will be people who have been following this set closely who will join the groupbuy. I also don't recall getting an announcement email from cannonkeys about the gb.

CannonKeys has sent a couple announcement emails about this GB. OP was forced off GeekHack after receiving a ton of harassment over his Peaches N Cream colors. OP mainly uses Reddit and discord to post any announcements or updates on his sets. I do not believe he will be returning to Geekhack in the future.
Huge bummer that this is still in the GMK queue. It's been a year, and the color matching was done before the GB. So what gives?

Ah thanks! Hadn't checked deskhero, looks like they're "out of stock" as well though.
I have a feeling that the GB just hasn't been shipped yet. They regional vendors all will probably have some extras in stock once the GB starts shipping, right? Or do deskmats generally work differently, as far as you know?
