Somehow I think Dixiemech will make room for it if the IC is solidly popular.
This is to DMG what Dracula was to Oblivion, another set working within a theme shown to be successful by other sets, but noticeably different (and probably something people clearly want to spend money on). Definately more palletable in terms of colors and theme than that other set.

Agreed, not sure what he was on about, but if the interest is there from the community why not run it IMHO?

I agree with you, if a set has interest then it should be run. Dixie obviously agrees with you when GMK Handarbeit was in it's IC phase.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/HZXjs7b.png)
I just think that this set is mediocre, the grey is ugly and accented mods don't fit, but to each their own.
Futurecrimes is making a NES set too. Bring it on. I’ll buy all of the gray sets.

I... in light of what you're referencing, carry on :)), everybody thinks they can be Puddsy these days.
ASCII and Lunar are already covering the 2B bases and Nord and Apollo aren't far off in two tone grey, so this set really needs novelties to sell the theme.
can we use △ □ ✕ ◯ for colored mod keys instead?:-X
EDIT: oh wait... that would need new molds.

Dude, IC is for people that are interested in the set. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Coming in here and just bashing an idea that you don't like isn't exactly constructive criticism, you're just muddying waters for Dixie to read through feedback. Just understand that by not saying anything and not buying you're still showing your opinion without looking like you're all butthurt about a keyset that isn't your cup of tea. There's like a gazillion GMK sets coming out all the time, just get the ones you like and don't be a ***** about the ones you don't.

+1, no offence, but the new centered icons look like a JTK offering.
I'm lost. I mean I get it but the colors are all wrong unless the US got some weird version of PSX and this is based off something else ...There was a console based set with violet buttons that made no sense to me but sure enough the US version conntroller matched, it wouldn't surprise me if their playstations were a different shade too. If the influence doesn't work for you and you don't like it on colour alone it's not the set for you :)
To be fair an interest check is to gauge interest, not necessarily only for people who are already interested in it. I do agree that constructive feedback is the way to go, though.
If someone isn't interested initially, at least I'd be curious to know why - and if recurring then obviously that might be something to look into or carry with yourself to any further projects etc.
For Firefly, I implemented changes which turned people who weren't initially interested, into being interested.

Well, yeah - gauging interest is what IC is meant for but still... Constructive feedback is what matters and going "looks ugly, I don't like it, it shouldn't be made" isn't that. There's other sets that I don't find visually appealing even with changes made after IC but I don't go ****ting on their IC/GB threads. Like here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=103396.msg2833440#msg2833440) - I mention that I don't like it and advice to give more info about why Origin by Maven would be something special than other WoB/BoW keysets.

Some of things I'd love to see:
Text novelties, don't even need to make fancy icons.
"Select" capslock and "Start" enter novelties?
ANALOG novelty, like on the dualshock controller. I wonder if it could be on the spacebar?

I see that it is mentioned that you have your optimized icons in this set. It doesn't look like you mention it in your IC. Please clarify. I can be open to not liking your optimized icons, so I wonder.
Now here's a collection of what these ideas might look like. No need to do away with colored mods, I just wanted to see how it looks just like this!Show Image(https://i.gyazo.com/175b2e91b0d481823b9fe8791e22a931.png)

20 years after the Playstation came out, Luffy won EVO 2014 with a PS1 pad.
The set itself is a bit plain for me right now, maybe novelties could change that.
I love this idea! Some of things I'd love to see:

Going along with the idea of incorporating Start/Select/Analog from the controller, maybe you could incorporate other buttons like R1,R2,L1,L2, etc in the place of modifiers. Not sure how well it would look on keycaps, but you could make the arrow legends copy their respective D-Pad counterparts.

i'm surprised no one else noticed how off the colours were...I guess I'm just picky. A set with the right colors would be an easy buy for me personally but "not like this..."

I agree with you that the colours are off. I posted that high-res render of a psx for comparison.
UPDATES
Updated kits have been posted in the main post.
Here is a list of the changes:
+ Added Blank arrows to the Bars Kit to represent the D-pad on the controller. Also can double as R4 1u keys needed for ortho. This was the best compromise I could come up with. They can double as cool themed keys as well as add 4 1u keys for ortho to bring the total R1 R4 keys to 12 when added to the Standard Kit. 13 including the 1u 0 key.
+ Why didn’t you add an OPEN key to novelties?
- The OPEN button the PSX is blue. Which means it would have to be on the Shift row. Which would be very unbalanced. But if I put it on the Enter key to be balanced, it would be the wrong color.
Can you go for a cooler grey similar to the actual dualshock 1?
Big improvements
I just thought of something while looking at the novelty kit, maybe you might consider these 'rgb' mods for the novelty kitShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/kXPXFty.jpg)

He's using GMK stock colors. This keeps the set cheaper and production faster (no need to get samples).
Here's the options:
(Attachment Link)
Maybe if he gets samples from modern Dolch light modifiers in time to change it?
I looked through my caps to see if there was a suitable gray from a past kit and I cannot find one that fits the bill.
Honestly need to try and convince GMK to get some more grays in their lineup. :P
I don't know of any sets that use GR1, but it looks very light in every photo I see of color sample keys. Your mockup looks nice, but I think the color is, in actuality, much closer to white than gray.
Define white:
White is the lightest color and is achromatic (having no hue).
I agree it’s lighter than her picture but the is the dark gray a more accurate representation? I can’t say but I think there is benefit to be had in seeing a render to compare.

Oh. I don't think the name of the set is generic enough. :rolleyes:I know you're being sarcastic but at least it suits the generic look of the actual set
Guys,
Dixie mentions in the OP that he'd like to use stock colours to keep the MOQ down and make this keyset more viable for those who are into it. So please keep that in mind.
As for the off-white/light grey option, I would agree that GR1 isn't it. People are asking for a redesigned PSOne and kinda trying to skip on the fact that keyset colourway is inspired by the controller (Dualshock > Dualshot eh?).
I own an original PS1 (just like the one under "More" in this message (NOT my console, sharing as an example) and I would agree that the keyset is a tad darker than the console BUT I firmly believe that going for a custom colour is nonsense. I understand that some people may not get this set because it's not EXACTLY the same but please don't pressure Dixie into something else than that what he has stated in the OP in the first couple of sentences and giving a reasoning behind it. 150 or 250 MOQ is a big difference and given the great number of keysets already happening and the planned launch of this keyset, it seems that you are trying to rush him into a small disaster.
Maybe my nostalgia is speaking but novelties and the idea itself is winning me over and not the perfect shade of this. It would be a nice-to-have not a must-have for me is all I'm saying.
EDIT: Please hear me out - how people feel about CC stock colour? It gives me that yellowed PS1 plastic vibe how most consoles look now. :D Just throwing it out there but I'm good any which way.MoreShow Image(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/813bK6df4GL._SL1500_.jpg)

it's close.
and don't make fun of my photoshop. I ain't no 3d renderer!
New kits are basically perfect. Although, and I know I'm alone in this, I would prefer the kit to be 2M keys with 2B legends to match the PSone redesign. I've always preferred this look over the original.Show Image(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/5512/0684/products/Sony-PSone-Console-FL_1200x1200.png?v=1525715020)
To everyone who is talking about there being a better stock color. I didn’t just grab a random color with no thought and run with it. I sat there for hours trying to decide which one was best. With the physical caps in front of me.
Are the power buttons pad printed on that novelty kit or doubleshot?
