Probably better marketed as an EVA-01 themed set.
Not bad, though definitely would go with the EVA-01 theme like some others have mentioned, that actually makes sense here. :thumb:
This is really nice, the purple accents remind me when eva 01 goes "berserk". Eva theme would be fitting, but is that other eva set even gonna run?
+1 for the brighter gray.
How would the mods look with neon yellow instead of green?
I'm into it, think the purple on the legends can be brighter. Overall, great job!
It may just be an issue with the renders, but I feel like going with a slightly lighter grey for the alphas would help the purple legends pop a bit more; right now they feel a little bit muddy in terms of contrast. Overall I think this is a neat idea but the alphas could use a *little* bit more refining and dialing-in.
Ooohh man this is a pretty sick set. Judging from the name the novelties are gonna be pretty radical too, yeah? ;D
Man I would dig some red on purple alphas like in your avatar
Neon Gelatinous Evangelism is already doing that though

I will consider a lighter grey before a brighter purple, GMK 2B maybe? I really love that deep violet color and the space bars would look amazing.

Can anyone confirm or deny if this set is still happening? Don't want to step on any toes but the sets are very different and the IC for that looks dead. Considering re-branding.

I would at least try to reach out to donutcat (he's been pretty inactive for awhile) -- it can't hurt. It sure looks like it's pretty much dead in the water though.
I wish sets this cool would be run in PBT, I cannot stand ABS
Also, donutcat's set looks absolutely nothing like this. You don't need his approval.

I will be trying to run this either way and I agree that I don't need approval for the colorway, more so I was wondering for the sake of not having 2 of the same themed sets running at similar times.
I was open to running this through epbt but I was informed that they don't have the molds for a lot of popular 40% keys, and I'm a bit of a 40% fanatic so it's kind of a deal breaker for me.
That being said, thank you all for the positive and constructive feedback. I have learned a lot over the weekend and taken in all the comments here and in the IC form so far and I will be making some pretty big revisions to the set:
UPDATE 01:
-GMK Kaijū is now pending it's name, while I do have a strong connection to this subject and name, its been blasted into my ear about how much this reminds them of a certain anime and I certainly agree and that was somewhat on purpose. Since there doesn't seem to be any issue within the community that this be an EVA 01 themed set, I would like to lean harder into this theme and separate the project from the name and specific theme of Kaijū. I intend to give the community the NGE themed set it deserves as I am a big fan of classic anime and it is already a favorite of mine.
-Over the weekend I have been dialing in my renders to try and show more accurate colors and lighting conditions to give a better idea of how the set will look in reality as opposed to how a computer program wants it to look. I found out that the colors in my renders have been over saturated, too bright and poorly lit as the highlight were on the side of the cap not the top. I agree with the comments that the grey and violet I chose may make the text illegible or muddy. I made some new renders using a brighter purple Pantone that will match closer to EVA 01 and the lighter grey GMK 2B. Examples and comparison to old set will be below. These still probably are not 100% accurate but I'm trying to improve my render skills every day. Let me know what you think!
-When I first made the set my main intention was just to make a cool looking set I would like to see on my keyboards. I was not aware of how GMK does their kit pricing based off the number of colors in kits, therefore I will need to make some big adjustments mainly to the base kit in order to keep the price down. I am proposing a different accent key that uses purple and green. There will be an example below. However since people really like the original accent keys that are reminiscent of EVA 01's awakened form, I would like to propose an extra kit that includes the purple and red accent keys and possibly alternate alphas in the same color. Below will be an example of both.

I'd be worried about the purple on gray contrast.
This set was initially all over the place as far as inspiration, color combinations, and color arrangements, and since you've narrowed your focus I'll just leave it at that.
That being said, I do have a few concerns on the set:
- Base kit ~ ISO (or lack of), excess amount of hamburger icons, both caps lock icons, a few lacking keys for 65%, and you're missing the appropriate furigana/rubi.
- Numpad kit ~ barred 1u zero
Base kit - ISO enter is there, I'm not trying to open another debate here about this and some people would rather not see the enter at all.
Base kit - ISO enter is there, I'm not trying to open another debate here about this and some people would rather not see the enter at all. I don't think hamburger icons are excessive, they only add more options to what icons you use on your bottom row and add a key for ortho layouts if people really have a problem with too many hamburgers I can change the icon to something else.
One caps lock key is stepped which is a standard key for most base kits hard to tell cause it's black.
Not sure what keys I'm missing for 65% layout, please expand on that. Hiragana legends aren't missing anything, I put it together based on the molds that already exist and this layout is most pleasing to me.You're missing compatibility for the
Numpad kit has the barred 0 key already.
The barred 1u numpad zero should just be a normal 1u zero for the 1800 layout (and others), right?
The barred 1u numpad zero should just be a normal 1u zero for the 1800 layout (and others), right?
With this user's IC, I honestly have no idea what the barred 1u zero is for. Literally, never seen it before lol
I'm not talking about stepped vs. non-stepped caps. I'm talking about the inclusion of one arrow icon (and the absence of its stepped option) and two purse icons. Which one have you chosen or are you actually offering both icons? On top of that, if you are offering both icons, I'd reckon the inclusion of the stepped arrow is in order.
You're missing compatibility for theothermost common far right columns. Legends are indeed missing correct furigana/rubi. If you're going for the Mito route (aesthetics over accuracy) that's totally your prerogative. I'm aware of the inclusion of the barred zero, but why is that even there?
Those alt alphas oh lawdy
Really like the direction you're taking the set based on feedback while staying true to the initial design idea :thumb:
those mods are giga nut
100% in for full awakened. Looks so damn good.

Never watched Eva. I was a big fan of the Kaiju approach. Eva doesnt own purple/green. Theres plenty of themes people could shout at you. The joker, hulk, riddler, prowler, greengoblin, puffy ami yumi, kang the conqueror, lex luthor, piccolo, aries Shion etc. I think Eva just comes to mind for most right now because there was an IC for it before. I think you should hold onto your original Inspiration.
I love this set and love the colors, but I'd probably only be in if for the monsters XD

I can't promise anything right now, but I will try my best to make it happen. If I add an extra alpha and mod kit I will be looking at a total of 7 kits, only Massdrop would run a set with that many kits and the likeliness of someone like me without a name for themselves to get Massdrop as a vendor is less likely. It happened with Red Samurai so it is possible. If by the grace of the gods I can raise enough interest I would like to go this route.
The other solution would be rearranging the kits by merging the numpad with the base kit driving up the price a bit and doing just an alpha kit or an accent kit. I might be able to find small vendors willing to run a 5 kit set.Never watched Eva. I was a big fan of the Kaiju approach. Eva doesnt own purple/green.

I don't want to give the impression that I am changing the name and theme because people want me to.

Yeah there is a lot of themes that hit the colors but not many that fit the hiragana caps which are a favorite of mine, at this point I have changed the inspiration for the set and have now matched the purple to EVA 01.
The thing is I'm more than happy to change the theme because I personally love EVA, some people make the claim that it saved anime in the 90s and brought a whole new dimension to the genre. If you enjoy anime at all I highly recommend it.
I also think someone else down the line could make a Kaiju set that actually hits the theme better.

I love EVA and I feel that just changing the name to GMK EVA 01 or something along those lines it will gain more popularity as well, since a lot of the colorways for artisans are also named this. And it also opens the door to an EVA 02 themed set. Have you tried doing normal alphas on the set and maybe full Hiragana on the Awakened alpha's?
Neon Gelatinous Evangelism is already doing that though

Been watching this set, but wasnt sure until revisiting. I think this set looks amazing, and that's from someone who has never/never thought he would ever consider buying a hiragana set. But this set is perfect, and its ****ing Evangelion, of coure hiragana is okay! I'm no color genius or anything but I wanted to voice that I personally preferred the Old Violet C, I thought the darker purple blended in better with the dark mods and the whole neon green on dark aesthetic (Windows hacker theme) I also think the darker Violet C was more appealing on the alphas.
I also really liked the 2B Gray and would be really interested in seeing a render with that Grey and the Old Violet. I feel like the new lighter Grey, while being very nice, is changing the initial feeling I got from the set of it being like a dark sort of terminal in a mech suit. If you look at the GMK color wheel, 2B is definitely not as dark as in your renders, no worries there. Not saying 2B is the perfect Grey, just saying I confidently prefer the renders with the darker grey. There are so many perfectly contrasting light grey sets out there already.
Love thisI don't like hiragana (but I understand), and I don't like icon mods, but I like this theme and the colors.
Hey that be awesome and thanks so much for taking mine and other people's feedback as well as all the work you're doing for the alternate sets really really really cool. You're probably right about the purple it would suck if it came out too dark. We should totally buy a evangelion model and send it to gmk for color matching

Curious - why are there 2 - 1u shifts in the 40's kit?Some ortho users like shift on each side.
Oh I like that render. The violet c personally does it for me. It's the prefect alien purple.Newer purple is def closer to EVA 01 tho.. God I really like this keyset.

Lmaohahaha might as well go back to its original name of kaiju. imo, color-wise, it fits the name better than the one by nephlock.
Op: names set Kaiju
People: this is too close to eva. Might as well just call it unit 1. Neon Genesis vibes for sure.
Op:likes Eva. Changes name to unit 01
People: this looks nothing like unit 01. I'm not seeing the connection. Not enough Eva.
Lmao xD if the color scheme stays the same, I'm in. Don't care. Lol
LmaoIt's because FullMetal said in Update #2 that he changed the inspiration to something along the lines of evoking what it'd be like in the cockpit of Unit-01 which it does not evoke.

If a faithful representation of EVA-01 is what you are looking for, then sure by all means completely leave out the grey. Personally though, I would recommend sticking to your initial vision and consider renaming this set to something else. Having the colors evoke EVA-01 should not have to mean that you completely abandon your initial vision.
LMAO for what it's worth tho, I hope you stick with the grey alphas.If a faithful representation of EVA-01 is what you are looking for, then sure by all means completely leave out the grey.

Definitely prefer the original with grey alphas. People are just nit picking the name and theme, **** em, to be quite frank. Still looking forward to comparing Violet C and 268C (one pantone away from the last purple you were trying) If we can brainstorm colors for a few days and put up a vote thatd be shwiggitty,
I'm going to leave this render here and see if people would like to see the base kit that leaves out the grey, (also cutting down on price) and is similar to the alternate alpha kit but using green instead while turning the mods green and violet. A much more faithful representation of EVA-01.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/t8Hbfdl.jpg)
In my defense the original design was not meant to be EVA it was morphed into this form by taking community feedback. The dissimilarity comments have only appeared after the name change, before this there were far too many people commenting to ignore that the set took some inspiration from the colors of EVA-01. I took some artistic liberties with the amount of grey used, this was intentional. I realize there is a liberal use of grey here but it is not nonexistent in the EVA design. I realize it is a small accent and not a primary color, I wanted to originally create a more subdued set than something like NGE or Laser by using neutral colors.
I think adding orange to the base kit makes things start to look very garish. I was already planning on having orange novelty keys for people that would like a touch of orange.

Yeah Idk what EVA or Unit-01 is, so keeping true to whatever the original is does not matter to me at all. But the original set you posted with the light grey alphas looks really good. The one you posted just above does not appeal to me.Agree, stick with original concept, dont let people sway the entire set because of the name. I thought it looks like a terminal in a mech suit before, it was never about looking like the mech.

Yeah I do prefer the new colorway. Looks great!
If we're talking more calculatingly here, one hypothesis we can draw from recent successful GMK GBs (Laser, Wavez, Metropolis, maybe even Bento) is that: There's a healthy appetite for striking, vibrant, eff-you-look-at-me colorways. People love those. Wavez did very well despite not being on (Mass)Drop.
So yeah, I hope you'd go for this. The neon green on purple is very unique for GMK, even more so with sublegends, and it's not as garish as GMK NGE's all-green modifiers :thumb:

Precisely because so many of the recent sets fits your above description that I feel the more muted tones of the original design would provide a nice healthy contrast to them. Not everyone likes eff-you sets and there's been a real dearth of such that aren't simply one or two toned.

LMAO for what it's worth tho, I hope you stick with the grey alphas.If a faithful representation of EVA-01 is what you are looking for, then sure by all means completely leave out the grey. Personally though, I would recommend sticking to your initial vision and consider renaming this set to something else. Having the colors evoke EVA-01 should not have to mean that you completely abandon your initial vision.
Well my initial vision was Kaiju and I'm not going back to that. ;D

Noted. Just gauging interest now and seeing what people would be most interested in purchasing as an EVA themed set.

I've had a change of heart on this set, honestly, with some of the recent updates. I think it could be THE Evangelion set if we could nail a few things:
-Some real solid novelties, not meh ones like troubled minds. It would be awesome to get a small EVA-looking image like what Mizu does with the bear and waves.
-Accent mods. I really like how it looks with green, but I'd also like to see what the red awakened set with red accent mods looks like.
-Good color correction testing - I see noctilocous and troubled minds and they both kind of undersaturate the green. I don't think this set will suffer the same issue, but I would be better safe than sorry.
Overall, I really like the direction this set is taking with the awakened Hiragana (non-sublegend). I know a lot of people disagree and it's a matter of taste, honestly. I personally find the hiragana more minimalistic and in tune with the set.
consensus seems to be: original grey legends and they way to go, and awakened alphas as a child kit (either plain hiragana or sub legends would be a nice thing to vote on)You’re not OP.
Lets get back to the real discussion of color matching. Violet C is nice, lets see 268C side by side?

I'm not doing anything, only suggesting that the past week has been completely useless as far as pushing this forward in a way that will get people interested. Half the people commenting are more concerned with whether the name makes sense than actually discussing the original concept on the first post. It's not fun seeing something you're excited about trash talked and turned into something different because op thinks he owes evangelion nerds a anime keyset.consensus seems to be: original grey legends and they way to go, and awakened alphas as a child kit (either plain hiragana or sub legends would be a nice thing to vote on)You’re not OP.

Does the Mod Nerv Esc key not have the text "esc" anymore? It looks somewhat incomplete in the new revision since half of the logo is empty.

I agree the nerv mod without any text looks a bit "empty". Other than that I'll take one of everything thank you.
omg this looks much better and absolutely amazing. Still rooting for an ErgoDox kit. :'(
Great job on the latest revision! Is there any possibility of fitting a R4 PgDn key in the base kit?
My wants:
1. Pure hiragana legends kit pleeeeeeeeeeeeease
2. NERV writing back into that novelty, it looks empty without it
3. More novelties for other angels like Matarael and Sandalphon
4. (pipe dream) Eva mech spread over multiple keys, like in the Noctilocous set. Would probably cost enough to warrant a new kit for it.
Honestly though, I'd buy as is right now, the kits look good to me. Thanks for all the hard work.
Like with many other sets, full icon mods is a 100% deal breaker for me. Good luck with the IC and GB.

Yeah I changed it, someone said it looked cheesy and also it limits where you can place it.

1. No guarantees.
2. See above.
3. I went over each angel and I chose these because they were the most iconic and recognizable in keycap form. I would have liked to do a key for each angel but some just wont look right as a key and its a bit overkill. I might add one or two by making a poll and letting the community choose which angel(s) to add.
4. Cool idea but not happening, it wouldn't look right with doubleshot.
5. Thanks ;)

My god you did it you mad man. These look beautiful.No worries, I think it was worth it. Yeah I know there are a large amount of kits and more than I wanted to run initially. The colored and text mod kits are all things that were specifically requested by multiple people. I might condense and combine them with other kits if necessary.
As the guy who complained about the gray alphas, I did feel kinda bad about giving you extra work, but wow, that colorway.
Just one thing: I’m a bit worried about the amount of kits you got here. For ex, is the orange Mod Type really necessary?
Either way, I’m in.

The purple alphas definitely say Evangelion, but I will really miss the grey of the original concept. I thought the theme stood on it's own without being purely unit 01 themed. Loving the artisans, the Angels in particular are spot on.Sigh, you and me both.
I'd buy a childkit with grey alphas for sure. But I'd prefer the original grey in the basekit. A side kit with purple alphas would make moq from all the Eva fans.When you think of Eva, grey is the very first color that came to your mind?
Nope. Lol, green an purp alldeway!I'd buy a childkit with grey alphas for sure. But I'd prefer the original grey in the basekit. A side kit with purple alphas would make moq from all the Eva fans.When you think of Eva, grey is the very first color that came to your mind?

Like the new colorway a lot better. Still waiting for 3d renders. Hiragana only set would be cool but if it's too much I understand.
+7.11.19 Update
-New renders added
-R4 pg up, pg dn, and 1.75 lock added to Test Unit kit
-Type R and O kits condensed into Type S kit
Fresh hot renders! I will get some bigger board renders done eventually but you get the idea.
I decided to gut the Mod type R and O kits as suggested and combine them with the main novelty kit. This way you don"t have to buy an extra kit for one orange or red accent novelty key.
I'm also on the fence about the berserk alpha kit tbh. It's kind of pulling away from the theme when I think a pure Hiragana kit or pure English kit might fit better here. The poll question in the IC form is a close tie for all 3. But I'm curious to hear what others think.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/zx2e1qR.png)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/8QWG3Xl.png)
Personally I'd rather have a Beserk themed mod + alpha rather than just alpha (and novelty). Although I think thesiscamper is working on a Beserk set of kits? :S

Is there any chance of the purple on grey alphas being run as side kit? Seems like there's some interest, it'd be cool if it made moq.Too many kits already IMO. Not everyone can pull a GMK Oblivion :)

I am still discussing logistics with vendors so I will have a solid date soon but the GB will run in Q2 2020 at the latest.
For everyone asking for extra kits, yeah Its probably not feasible to fit another kit in here, at this point if anything else is added it would have to be at the expense of another kit.

Any chance of this running in 2019? This set is so damn nice.
Kits will most likely be adjusted before I run the set and Ill definitely take everyone's suggestions into consideration when that time comes. The date is set for next year due to my NA vendor of choice who is backed up that far, not because of GMK. No guarantees on an earlier date but I would need to find a new vendor if I decide to do that.
Sorta Off-topic, sorta On-topic, but I just finished Neon Genesis Evangelion for the first time yesterday and WOW did it take a hard left turn there at the end. To the point where I'm not even a fan of the series as a result. Is there anything worth watching that rehabilitates it, e.g., The End of Evangelion? EoE:Renewal? Death & Rebirth?Check out End of Eva, don't bother with Death&Rebirth (Death recaps the series and Rebirth is like the first half hour of End of Eva).
It doesn't change my love for the color scheme of this IC - I am definitely getting a kit, maybe even two, but figured this was a good group to ask.

The later date works well for people like me, who's wallets are still recovering from all the money spent on keysets this year. I'm setting some aside for this one no matter what.
Im in!. Those alternate alphas are dope!

Exactly, only thing missing is numpad extension to alphas. At the risk of sounding like a broken record. Please add it as well. Most of ICs with alt alpha colours ignore numpad, which kills the look of full size kb.
Still want this set like really a lot.Likewise, its gonna feel like a long wait from so much want
So I've gone back over this set (which I totally love) and a couple questions:The 1.5u mod keys are for WKL layouts, not the Minivan. The WKL people don't need 1.5u OS key.
In the base set, why are there two R3 1.75 caps locks?
In either base or test units, is there any way to get a 1.5u OS/Super key? In the minivan render there's a 1.5u ALT key (1.25 CTRL, 1.5 ALT, 1.25 OS) which is covered in the base set, but some people prefer CTRL-OS-ALT order, which isn't covered by base or test.
Very much looking forward to this set!

And in case you're not aware, the Minivan - or rather, its creator - is a controversial topic among keycap designers, due ot his past behaviors.

Question about the Mod Type-S kit. Why have all the 1.25u mods honeycombed & all the 1.5u striped? Wouldn't it make more sense to have 2 of each design in each unit size to have novelty keys to distinguish ctrl & alt, or is there a reason behind it?

Not sure I follow - in Mod Type S, there's 4 honeycombs (two 1.5u and two 1.25u) and there's 4 striped (two 1.5u and two 1.25u). Doesn't that cover what you're asking for? What am I missing here?
Just reminding everyone that this is still the coolest keycap set ever thanksIndeed. Anxiously awaiting this. Bought a minivan based on one of the renders here.
After this I am ready for GMK Unit-02 with eyepatch novelty.

This is going to be my grail set. I loved Evangelion as a kid. The ending, not so much.
OP hasnt been active since October, feeling like this beautiful set is following the same path as Black Lotus. :feelsripman:OP has been last active on 1/22, and this is slated for a Q2 release. I wouldn't worry too much... probably working out distributor/vendor and maybe artisan logistics

It's been a while since an update. Anyone seen the OP? I guess I'm going to have to jump on the GMK Taro although the EVA-01 is really my holy grail set.

OP mentioned that the GB would happen Q2 latest (April/May/June). OP's most likely finishing things up, and communicating with vendors (If i'm remembering right, the delay is not the OP, it's the vendors backed up with already planned GBs).

After purchasing a Canoe EVA-01 LE I need this keycap set! Hopefully we hear a GB announcement soon.
This looks awesome, any thoughts on timeline?I know it’s not exactly the same but KAT Cyberspace has got a similar color scheme
Kind of wish it was in KAT instead of GMK tho
Nah, the best thing about this set is the bold, unapologetic laser-green-on-purple alphas, something that KAT Cyberspace exactly lacks.This looks awesome, any thoughts on timeline?I know it’s not exactly the same but KAT Cyberspace has got a similar color scheme

So theres that plus that beautiful GMK wait time we have these days.. Long wait confirmed.
This is feeling like black lotus v2
I see a R3 PgUp in the base kit, but there doesn't seem to be a R4 PgDn.I think that's because they're paired, i.e., there's a R1 pgup/dn, R2 pgup/dn and an R3 pgup/pgdn, but there's no R4 pair.

What happened to this set? No updates for several months.Scroll up like 5 or 6 comments.

I'm totally on board and cash waiting IF there is propoer UK ISO support.There's an ISO Enter and some other keys in the base kit, what are you missing?
I would be totall happy to spend the extra money on an add-on kit but if it's not able to acommodate UK ISO i wouldnt spend on it.
I’ll give a small update on this, as we were supposed to run this in April.
I sent the designer a message in early March to get everything finalized, but unfortunately never heard back. I’m not exactly sure what’s going on, but have not been able to get in touch with the designer.

Space? Canoe? Matrix?
@FU11.META1TBF we don't know where OP is from, and with the current pandemic situation? All bets are off.
where the hell you been!? You cant come tease **** like this and then go MIA for months.. We have people ready to throw buckets of money at this... LETS GOOOOOOOO
We should keep discussing about this set. Hopefully the OP will see how popular it is and get it made.
If this IC flops and months go by without any contact or responses from OP, what's the legality of us just copying this design and pushing forward through some other source?What kind of precedent does that set?
A realistic one. Otherwise, everyone will just rush out ICs and reserve color schemes for eternity.If this IC flops and months go by without any contact or responses from OP, what's the legality of us just copying this design and pushing forward through some other source?What kind of precedent does that set?
just take over the project mike !THANK YOU
I see the light now; stealing designs when you feel like it is actually for the greater good of everyone. In fact, not doing it would be an injustice, we have to be practical here - we've done our fellow community members a disservice already by waiting this long to question our misgivings about plagiarising someone else's work. In the future if a group buy is unannounced or too far away for our liking, we should just do another gb with the identical colours, reuse the renders from the original IC and just cash out.. Oh I mean save everyone from those awful design hoarders whose idea it was in the first place, and whose time/money was invested into it.A realistic one.

Unit02 set already exists man, it's called SA BerserkYeah, but it would be nice if done in a GMK or KAT profile for r3 or something
Hoping this continues, got an Eva-01 Canoe on the way. Someone please pick this back up :(
Holy hell, this has just made my day!
This is excellent news! Any news on when this will run?
lol noGotta agree here. Icon-only for me. Need the negative space of icon-only mods to balance out the busy-ness of the dual legends.

Text mods are too boring and conversative and safe for such a bold set.

im not asking to change it to text/text+icon, im asking for an add-on kit, which shouldn't affect you at all if you dont want it
edit: theres also the masterpiece icon + japanese text mods that could be considered here

Since this is being revived, can we discuss kits again?
One thing I noticed that's missing is 1u R3 novelties. Right now, if you're an ortho user and you don't have TAB or ESC in R3, the legends will be outta whack. Some people have CTRL there, Colemak users have BKSP, etc.
Rather than try to please all, can we get just one 1u R3 novelty? Then people will have *an* option and it won't be mis-legended. Thanks!
yes please! get rid of that awful icon bottom row and change it to text aswell as text+icon mods.
can we revisit having a text mod or text+icon mod kit please - bottom row icons are a deal killer for me :(

If they were to include it as a separate add on that would have no impact on us but I doubt there would be a whole new kit this late.

Is there any chance for one of the ESCs styled in the NERV logo to just be the NERV logo?
Is there any chance for one of the ESCs styled in the NERV logo to just be the NERV logo?
Not likely, since that would be copyright infringement.
Any recommendations on any IC's or GB's for boards going on that would suit an Eva themed keeb? Anything out there specifically Eva themed?
Is there any chance for one of the ESCs styled in the NERV logo to just be the NERV logo?

How did SA Berserk able to push through with their NERV ESC keycap? I think they had the Evangelion 3.0 NERV logo on it.

It was purposely made to look similar but different.
Just an update - I received an email back today from the designer. This will be able to move forward again.Is there any ETA by chance, please? With the whole pandemic a lot of us are getting really tight on any sort of expendable funds and would love to know since I spent my previous reserve for this set when it went ghost mode. I have been dying for this set and had even gotten 2 boards to match it so any news so I can move things around to be ready would be incredible.
Expect more information coming in May. This set will be run sometime this summer.No issues.
Please be patient as the designer is going through some pretty tough stuff right now.
Since we're talking kits again--any chance of doing a kit with the new katakana moulds from Masterpiece? IMO those would look absolutely perfect for this set!
God I want to see this on the Matrix Lab Abel X EVA 01 soo bad
Oh man, I got lucky stumbling across this when I did. This is going to have to be my first GB, I only got into keyboards recently.
My bank balance keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down!

This looks awesome and I have a PC build that is already in this theme. Do you think we could get some alternate keys using the yellow-orange color from the Eva's neck, knees and shoe soles? Having that color would really round out the look.

What layout would need a 1u R3 novelty? I was thinking Fn on a HHKB layout or something like that, but that's R4.

I could sneak an R3 novelty in, for those custom boards that would support it.

Not sure yet. Might be a custom Budget96 build. I have 2 in process. I had a spare 96 PCB, but waiting for the case to be built. Custom acrylic layered case. Or.... I am going to be there for the Think6.5 V2. So it might go on that eventually. I guess it depends on which one i get done first. But it will hover from keyboard to keyboard, like my other keycaps do.

If there is enough interest I would like to do a color-matched Unit-01 special edition :)
I am a huge fan of this set!
I'm taking this as a promise now. Please do this.
Something like this, or a black bottom to make it more compatible with other sets?

Just curious what board is everyone putting this on?
Not sure yet. Might be a custom Budget96 build. I have 2 in process. I had a spare 96 PCB, but waiting for the case to be built. Custom acrylic layered case. Or.... I am going to be there for the Think6.5 V2. So it might go on that eventually. I guess it depends on which one i get done first. But it will hover from keyboard to keyboard, like my other keycaps do.
Will be sure to try my best to color match for Unit-01's purple (already pretty much done with the purple prototype) and green (yet to be done)

... the cherry on top.
Man, I just told myself that the DZ65rgb was enough of a board for me and I just needed this set to polish off my Unit 01 build... but now that think 6.5... oh gosh. COUNT ME INTERESTED, old cat.Wow sick build, but you gotta replace that soft tube asap haha imagine some purple, orange or green coolant, or since your case is purple, you could do a loop for the cpu and one for the gpu, make one with green coolant an the other with orange... either way thats great work
Got my new psu cables in preparation for a complete unit 01 color scheme! This set is going to be the cherry on top.

What are the chances of one day seeing a Unit 02 set in the same vein?this would look so good.

There's a Unit 02 set from Maxkeys, SA Berserk? It might be hard to track down though, but I've got that on my work keyboard and it's realy nice. Depends on if you like the SA profile though.
Glad to see this moving ahead but the changes are pretty notable.
If novelties have been removed for possible copyright reasons, how did SEELE and NERV (ESC) make the cut but the Unit-01 head didn't?
Have also gone from definitely grabbing Beserk to being pretty iffy about it now that it's mono legend.
Needs another 2u spacebar in the extras/40s kit for split space.

What board uses a double 2u?
This. Cajal, every ortho (and split) board from Keebio, new preonics, I believe the new planck will, kyria, and on and on. Since Mito is involved, check his laser set put up today. It has a second 2u in the Extras kit.Needs another 2u spacebar in the extras/40s kit for split space.
What board uses a double 2u?
Ortho boards and other various split keyboards. Currently, my Clueboard and Kyria are using it. I have an Ortho in line for it too
Anyone gonna get the berserks and mix it in with the base? What kinda layout you thinking?
Is there a particular reason you didn't use the katakana sublegends Biip designed for GMK Bushido? I know Zambumon created new hiragana sublegend molds because Mitos were incomplete - is there a similar situation here?
I'm not criticizing you all for creating new molds, I'm just wondering why.
Any artisans lurking to go with this?

Q : Why Katakana legends?
A : While MiTo and I were discussing the potential of Micons joining the set, he suggested for the set to offer his brand new Katakana dual and mono legend design. I jumped at the opportunity to bring something fresh to the keycap community. The molds for these keys have not been made yet. The best part is that MiTo has graciously made these for the community to use in future sets and we are excited to see what other designers can do with them!
Seeking clarification on this:
Does this mean MiTo/FU11.META1/NK_ will pay for all the new molds and then let everyone use them... or is it like every other option in which gmk pays for half and everyone can use them?
Thanks Mike!Seeking clarification on this:

This will be 50% financed with GMK. I don’t think it is being positioned as anything other than that.
We could have paid for the molds and kept them exclusive or allowed them to be use for any other project. Rick did a lot of work trying to make sure that these are as accurate as possible and wanted to make sure they were also basically open source.
Micons and Katakana legends?! This set was already awesome but this new update takes it to a whole new level. Definitely getting all the kits and deskmat. Great work!

micons? What's that mean?
I would have liked to have a latin alpha kit.
Have you thought to release this set in KAT profile ?

I'm not criticizing you all for creating new molds, I'm just wondering why.
Biip's and Zambumon's katakana sublegends are either incomplete or the sizing is wrong or the positioning is incorrect. This is the first set that gets everything right.
No black ISO enter?
Could you elaborate?
Edit: Nevermind, don't. It's definitely another approach.
I already explained that my katakana layout is based on the AEK japanese one.
To be honest I should have ignored your message due to the lack of details.
The orange on black arrows should be in the Berserk Kit and not the novelties.Those aren't micon arrows though.
Any chance of just a latin alpha kit for those who want it?
I wish red Berserk alphas come with Katakana dual legend. The mono legend is not very practical...
Any chance you would offer as a separate option? Maybe something like before, the pic above ;)

Oh boy. I haven't looked in some time. It's a long shot, but could these micon keys be added to berserk or extras?Seconded. Would be great if they could be added (yes, I'm sure kits are locked, but it can't hurt to ask/show support for the idea).

You could use them as an opportunity to learn how to touch type. It's an extremely useful skill. I'm always surprised to see people interested enough in keyboards to be on Geekhack or the subreddit who don't already know how to touch type.

It's the numrow symbols that always get me.
soz if it's been mentioned, but have those novelties been priced? Judging from past gbs those kind of designs are silly money to produce. Mostly the large area ones with center shots... unless they're being pad printed now?

Any idea on when we'd receive it? Q1 next year?

I just noticed this, but how did the alignment of the arrows (except Micons) get so jank? And can this be fixed?That's what gmk arrows have always been.

I get that GMK arrows are top left aligned, but my gripe is about how they are not well aligned here relative to each other. Note how it seems that the up/down arrows are aligned so that their bottom is aligned to the center line of the left/right arrows. Compare this to GMK Bento, where the center-of-mass of all the arrows is aligned.
Okay, great. I just wanted to make sure that these weren't some new moulds or something which had errors creeping in.I just noticed this, but how did the alignment of the arrows (except Micons) get so jank? And can this be fixed?That's what gmk arrows have always been.

They are just renders. All arrows use the GMK molds (same as bento or any other GMK set).
Sad to see the choice of latin alphas or japanese turned into just one set with both. Looks messy and really busyThis set has always had dual legends and never had mono latin or mono Japanese.

What is "version 3.0?" What date was that?

in version 3.0 it did had only latin legends as an extra kit. Sadly it didnt make it that kit for the final version
It's already sold out in dailyclack? Wondering where else I could get it as zfrontier only has china regions for checkout =/You will be able to purchase once the page is live, as mentioned above.
i doubt the actual plastic will ever look as vibrant as the renders. But still looks great, really trying not to get in on this :-X
I hope you’re right, really, but GMK 8008 makes me doubtful.i doubt the actual plastic will ever look as vibrant as the renders. But still looks great, really trying not to get in on this :-X
You'd be surprised, GMK sets usually turn out more vibrant than their renders; case in point: Solarized Dark, Peaches 'n' Cream... It's actually more difficult to pull off subdued colors in ABS than super vibrant ones :P
Just bought the keycaps, already can't wait. Time to rewatch NGE...
Oh imo it makes him feel more real and i liked him, he did do some weird things sometimes.

Just found a issue with the Berserk kit. The pipe key in modifier color's legend is color matched to the red alpha legend color when it should match the green legend color of the mods. This also goes for the tilde key that is the same color as the modifier color.
why the prize is for basekit is show USD150 ? not USD125? :eek: :eek: :eek:

I hope they can fix it before the files are submitted to GMK, I don't think anyone would object to these things getting fixed.
Agreed on the monolegends. Like, i don't want to participate any more... Having the exact same legends in two colors was an ADVANTAGE.I wish red Berserk alphas come with Katakana dual legend. The mono legend is not very practical...

Calm down. Was going to buy extra as gifts. You don't assume people can type without proper legend, nor do you ask people to learn something just to use your gift.
To your second point. I didn't ask OP to take out mono Berserk design. I am asking to use the same Katakana dual legend to make extra Berserk sets. Simply offering my thoughts for added business opportunities here... But I guess it's too late for any change.
Great work OP @FU11.META1! I like the design very much and will join the GB. Thanks!

Anyone want just berserk alphas? I want the mods.Yooo I want just Berserk alphas :D
In the spacebar set, will the profiles of the 2.75, 2.25 etc keys be in R4? The renders make it look convexed and flat.

Anything that has a "C" next to the sizing will be like a normal spacebar (rounded top).
Brilliant thanks, sorry I explained what I meant by the flat part badly, they're angled down like a normal space bar and r4 keys too right?
Brilliant thanks, sorry I explained what I meant by the flat part badly, they're angled down like a normal space bar and r4 keys too right?
Yes, they are R4 and they angle in towards the middle of the board, it's just that their top is convex (bulges upward/out) rather than concave (scooped downward/in).
Huge props to creating this kit, it's splendid and really hits home paying homage.
I sadly missed the GB for this and don't know where to go as I am relatively new. If anyone is willing to part ways with a set of the Berserk kit and Novelties or even just one of the two I would be happy to use PayPal or something if there are no extra kits for sale.
Where would there be extra kits for sale if their are any, and any guess as of when?
