Clean set, consider swapping your current gray to gmk stock n9 and see if that looks good to you, it would cheapen the cost  :thumb: . Also reserved.

Agree, N9 would be nice to replace your 3rd color and stock color is cheaper than custom. Also, nice and suble sets, colors are very versatile too, expect a cloudy novelties. Finally, reserve.

Post by: scott_mk on Mon, 28 June 2021, 20:32:59
Note (for full transparency): Before IC, I downloaded and vectorized an image of clouds from a license-free photo site known as "Unsplash" that I put as a deskmat design. However, a couple of my friends found that the photo was on other sites besides the license-free site, which was very concerning. In respect of the original artist/photographer, I instantly removed it from my IC. The photo that was on the license-free website can be found here: https://unsplash.com/photos/ap3LXI0fPJY. As I am not sure if this was the original artist, I will not be using anything associating with that. Thank you.

It's a short poem that roughly translates to "Clouds no longer carry rain or storms, it carries color to the sky"

I did a quick search but couldn't find any reference. Is this an existing poem? It's grammatically incorrect and where are the spacings?

And second for hangul sublegend.

I'm not sure, I'll have to ask the deskmat designer for that. As for the grammer, I'm a second generation Korean American so my korean may be scuffed. Will double check. And will add correct spacings as well. Thanks for letting me know about this.

I would love to see a hangul sublegend on these. Don't think there's a blue themed hangul kit out there.

liking this set so far hope we can see the novelties soon.They would look probably just as good as this set. I would like to see a change in the base set, by cutting of the numpad and making it an extra set you'll lower the cost of most customers, since 100%+ boards are pretty uncommon for enthusiast boards. And since you were using mostly stock colour I hope the colourmatching time doesn't take as much time as for example a set consisting of only custom colours.

I'm really loving the light blue tone of the keycaps. Super clean. Also, totally would go for hangeul kit if there was one. I want to see the novelties!!!!
Also sorry, but I'm just going to have to say something about the Haneul desk mat. I'm reading it and it feels like the designer maybe got a really cool Korean quote and put it through Google translate, or something like that? I put the text through google translate, and it comes up as "The clouds are no longer accompanied by rain and wind, and are colored in the sky." I know you mentioned it was based off a short poem, but I read it while trying really hard to understand what it means, at least in the Korean text.
Other than that, I look forward to seeing in GB soon.

Currently considering it but not sure. The hangul mat was made just for fun since I'm korean but an actual kit wouldn't make much sense as it doesn't fit the theme. But I can understand what you're saying.

Thanks! However, I will not be removing the numpad as there are people that use it and it would only cut a fraction of the set, and then that kit would cost triple the cost of what it would be as part of base. Novelties soon, and thanks for the support.

The grammar and spacing has been corrected and I added in the rough translation (as directly translating from korean to english doesn't really work).

I've decided not to do a hangul kit for this set. Hopefully a set in the future will be themed after something korean so a hangul kit would actually make sense.

Sorry don’t quite like the novelties. They are quite hard to use too, for the 1u R1-4. That’s usually for the last column of a 65% keyboard, and every icon looks almost the same.

Reiterating the idea of a hangul sub legends alpha kit.

I'm aware of the roles of the 1us, I just thought that it looked good to have them lined up like that in a row even if it's not the most traditional common thing. I'm still experimenting with some other novelty concepts at the moment though, so may I ask what exact novelty designs you would like to see there? I have also decided not to do a hangul kit. Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry don’t quite like the novelties. They are quite hard to use too, for the 1u R1-4. That’s usually for the last column of a 65% keyboard, and every icon looks almost the same.

Reiterating the idea of a hangul sub legends alpha kit.
I'm aware of the roles of the 1us, I just thought that it looked good to have them lined up like that in a row even if it's not the most traditional common thing. I'm still experimenting with some other novelty concepts at the moment though, so may I ask what exact novelty designs you would like to see there? I have also decided not to do a hangul kit. Thanks for the feedback.
I'm not the person to whom you addressed but I think it'd be better to have a sun peeking outside of a cloud or or a lightning within a cloud, sorry for my bad english tho.

I agree with the post previously… a couple of weather patterns could work here, sun, rain, lightning, etc. I'll be using these as 1.5u Super + extra 1u alts as the base nor the icon kitting fits my usage here for HHKB bottom row.

Novelties have been revised! Some other people also recommended me this type of stuff in the server, so it has been changed to the best of my ability (and GMK tolerances).

I still dont think the novelties are "up there" yet (pun intended). Clouds are a pretty hard theme to do tho so its fine I suppose. Looking forward to a cool metal enter artisan with that wind pattern.  :thumb:

Edit: a bunch of those basic cloud novelties for XT column would be cool tho imo

1. super nice colorway
2. super nice novelties (only just seeing them now so no idea of the previous version)
3. avoid hangul subs since they have no actual connection with the concept - deskmat is fine
4. mizu color comparison please

Good start on the novelties, I think.
Suggestions I'd have is that the rainbow just seems like it leads to no where?
Also, on the 1.5Us inside points of the foreground cloud sort of merge with the line from the background cloud.

Is there any chance of 1.5U OS/diamond keys in the icon kit or 1.5u Supers?

Thanks for coming back for more advice. As for the rainbow on the 1.25, the left one has a rainbow leading to the right and the right one has a rainbow leading to the left so it kind of leads to each other/connects in a way. Thanks for pointing that out on the 1.5s. I will probably be removing a small space between them to make them stand out seperately more. Same for the moon and thunder ones. Also, I will not be adding a 1.5u OS key in the icons kit or a 1.5u super, apologies. Thank you for the feedback.

I just realize that the design between the moon and sun novelty is not consistent. I think if the sun gets covered partially by the cloud then the moon should be as well, it's weird to see the cloud stay behind the moon like that.

Good looking set with good looking kits! I dig it.

The spacebars kit is probably going to end up a bit on the expensive side, though. I think you could've forgone the small spacekeys in black (1.25c, 2c, 2.25c, 2.75c) without too much detriment to the buyer or the overall usefulness of the kit.

I also would've taken the opportunity to add either two 1.5u keys or a second 1.5u key to the icons kit, for Mac / OG HHKB bottom row users. Another approach would be to make the two 1.5u keys instead, for greater flexibility with legends.

But these are minor things. Overall, the set looks really good.

Thanks for mentioning this! To answer this, all kits have been finalized with GMK. They are basic icons so all users could still use them with their OS. And far too little people use it to add it to the kit and greatly increase the kit price. Apologies if this is an inconvenience for you.

While 1.5u Mac/Tsangan keys in the icon kit definitely would have been nice to have (something I suggested way back in August), I think the overall kitting actually looks pretty great. Looking forward to the GB :thumb:

P.S. You can use the R4 1.5u cloud novelties if you really need to.

That would require to buy 3 kits instead of just 2 though.

There have been other Icon kits on other sets that included the keys missing. I was pointing it out.

The designer is more than in their right to choose which keys to include, but at some point there needs to be a some sort of “best practice.” Prior Icon kits seem to fit the bill.
