[IC] Laser GMK - 80's & Cyberpunk (LIVE)

[thelaughingman]

The Hiragana is supposed to be a minimal kit, to be combined with modifiers for a simpler look. On the other hand, the Gaijin kit is supposed to be loud, like the streets of Neo Tokyo, cluttered with neon signs everywhere.

Thís is exactly what I've been saying about the Gaijin kit. Bring it on the chaos, bring it on the madness. It is loud, it is bonkers and it is the right kit for me

Testify!

[xantiema]

I don't feel the clutter reflects the chaotic streets of Neo Tokyo, it just reflects...CLUTTER!
Having triple legends is even out of sync with the alphas.. to each their own opinions.

Don't get me wrong, it's limited what you can do to the legends to make it reflect Neo Tokyo, but this just isn't it  )

[rioc]

when does the vote end?

[dubious]

Was really stoked to hear a rumor about icon mods from yuri....

Keep up the good work Mito 

[xantiema]

when does the vote end?

I dont think further vote results will have an impact moving forward, I could be wrong though

Is this still looking to drop after Nautilus?

That Is the idea I believe

Did anyone notice that there's an R4 Page Down key missing? I would assume that's what the R3 Page Up key is there to compliment...

There really isn't a standard layout for 65% / 75% so

[iliptikal]

In for updates.  This is great.

[dblack]

Ah, I really don't know if I should go with Nautilus or Laser w/ the Gaijin legends.

Both!

[alienman82]

hey mito :dab:

Not sure when this will hit GB or whatever, but seeing some sublegend doubleshot caps really excites me 

I personally prefer this to say yuri's all Cyrillic caps.

[Lazylewis]

There's so many amazing sets coming out lately that I can't find enough boards for the keycaps! hope this covers a 660m at a reasonable cost, Might need to pick up one of those for this set.

But there are so many nice keyboards coming down the pipe too.

Could there be some sort of a flex-kit for F-row? I like same mods colours on them.

Also would consider an all-agent-88 novelty kit for F-row - they are all amazing!

You must realize it is the chronological order of early iterations up until the final Agent 88 icon shown on that image

[mypainishurt]

This is probably going to be my first GMK set!

To me they look like variations rather than iterations, since the quality of each is equally high.

This is explained in his blog if you want to read about it, you can find it here: https://mitormk.com/s00n/

Quote from the blog:
 "In the last render you can see the iterations that I went through when conceiving the cyberspace deck terminal design that you see present on the novelties. The goggles are an implementation of the original Case’s cyberspace deck terminal design from the Brazilian limited edition version of Neuromancer – art commissioned by Josan Gonzalez.

In case you’re curious to know who Agent 88 is, for that you’ll have to wait and sea."

That goes to show MiTo's extensive effort and work in this project

Yes there is an R3 PgUp but no R4 PgDn, would be nice to have for sure!  Also wasn't sure if "Caps Loco" was intended

[roostrc0gburn]

that's a hard pass on 'caps loco' for me. there's enough ridiculous stuff in this set to make it unique without that key

[KACHAKEYS]

Yes. I want. Gimmie.

[amnesia0287]

I like caps loco... but if it were me... I'd put:

Cruise Ctrl

[aggiejy]

I want too!

[jebbra]

Whatever gaijin or hiragana, I will still in. A bit opinion: gaijin can survive the usual GMK mod but hiragana really need icon mod to live up its simplicity.

Oh god I'd pay extra for a  couple Caps Loco and Cruise Ctrl caps

Cruise Ctrl is quite brilliant, lets see if MiTo could include this for us

[Juk]

+1 For Cruise Control, sounds fun and apropiate. Shame it probably won't fit my ergodox, but so is life

[theillumedpanda]

Patiently waiting. Super cool set!

[pab]

I'm totally in for this. Cyberpunk is my jam.

[SeedyOne]

So in on this.

Same here. With the increasing number of different keysets, this really stands out for me, as it has a very well-conceived theme behind it. It feels like a lot of the more recent keysets are produced with the idea of which colours could be a good match and then try to create a background/theme to it.

This is most likely going to be a first day purchase.

[futurecrime]

To help pass the time until Laser is ready to shoot, here's a decent documentary from the year 2000 about William Gibson.

Unfortunately it has Bono and The Edge in it. I'm sorry. It's only a little bit.

Initially had thoughts that I would never be caught dead with this vibrant purple scheme but the more and more that I look at it each day...

and just remember if you don't get it when it drops you might never own it again unless you spend even more money to buy it second hand. You're losing money by not buying it!

[XNine]

Is there any way to keep updated on the progress so when it goes on sale I don't miss it? I need this set in my life... Actually I'll probably buy 2

Keep your eye on this thread - it will probably close when the groupbuy goes live, and there will be a link.

Is there any chance of adding VIM arrows now that GMK has the molds? Maybe in the novelties kit, they'd look great on this set.

I'd be interested in these too

Just realized Nautilus has LEGENDS on its ergoplanck kit. Laser is really need that legend too to keep the "chaotic future" vibe burn brighter!

Those legends would probably make it more expensive right? Plus, Nautilus is getting the legends made so I assume the set would take longer to make maybe?

It certainly will be more expensive but a couple last set resulting in people getting legend text than blank, it even almost double on SA Carbon. The thing I'm curious is wether the price will go down when the next design use it because the "mould-making price" isn't there anymore. For the timeline, I believe Laser will still be after Nautilus on GMK production, and there will never be separated batch so the new mould will certainly be done when Laser get the production time.

Yes, but did you realize that Nautilus has sacrificed ergonomics for aesthetics? Apparently convex keycaps can't have legends, and therefore many thumb keycaps in Nautilus are concave.

Ah I see. I'm not using ErgoDox tho so I'm missing that point. I believe Zambumon is aware of them already but the last couples of GB shows that ErgoDox kit with legend outperform the blank counterpart, it almost double in number on SA Carbon, so I think that justify the final decision to the legend/not.
