memories of psychedelic posters, all-night raves and counterfeit money checks. A beautiful duotone complement

I think he meant to say GMK Darskel, the purple and teal give a similar look. I still don't trust Infinikey's Black color, but other than that this set looks awesome! GL!

i meant what i said i was just being a ****ter
the alternate font is baller af and i would buy this set in a heartbeat if that was the standard across the whole kit
and as mentioned above me, sanctuary came out excellent meaning that this set certainly can as well

This colorway fits nicely in between Darksel, Tokyo Nights, and Vice/Miami Nights. It has its own identity that stands on its own. And being PBT makes it even more special.

Icon only mods might be interesting so that the only text is Fraktur.
Oh yeah, def icon-only mods! Also, probably wouldn't be into a numpad, but the Cherry font looks out of place there (and on the function row). Dunno about anybody else, but this set just screams Electric Wizard (http://electric****inwizard.com/ (http://electric****inwizard.com/)) to me! (That ankh logo would also be a rad novelty)

Option 1)Stick with the theme and pallet, lean heavier into the blackletter dropping all Cherry legends and mods entierly
Option 2)Split the 2 ideas into two sets one Blacklight using cherry style Type/Icons with this pallet and theme, one "Blackletter" a compleately new set based on Fraktur leaning heavily into the history and Blackletter type.
I have put together a very quick mock up of what these might look like:
[attachimg=1]
1- Current pallet, Fraktur everything 2- Current pallet, Cherry everything 3- New Blackletter themed set (probably wont be WoB)
So i guess the choice is Between either 1 or 2/3 together
Hope you all have an amazing weekend, please let me know what you think.

So then, seems i'm at a bit of an impasse. I agree wholeheartedly that Cherry Mods + Fraktur look jank. It was a poor attempt at a solution. I also take on bored the critisicism that Fraktur/Blackletter and Blacklights aren't associated each other futher than my fascination with both. That being said here is my preposal and I'd love if you could comment and let me know what you think so I can get a better idea of how to move forward.

Another option is to Change to KAT PBT and then you can do separate alpha kits and mod kits for the different fonts. People can mix and match then. Everybody winsI just got done with 26 KAT Kits and I'd quite like to keep at least the blacklight portion of this in the cherry profile. In my opinion KAT / Cherry aren't really interchangable profiles.

I believe ePBT is able to split up kits? Kuro Shiro allowed you to buy alphas separate from the mods but I’m not sure how they do it actually! Might be worth exploring?Another option is to Change to KAT PBT and then you can do separate alpha kits and mod kits for the different fonts. People can mix and match then.

I’m a big fan of the colorway and less so of fraktur, so I’d prefer being able to pick out the appropriate kits as well!

Post by: Acoipat on Sun, 31 May 2020, 10:29:57
I prefer the default cherry font but seeing the quick render of Franktur with matching mods I may be enticed to buy both... either way I think having the sets split up is the way to go rather than the "in between" you have now.
As others mentioned if ePbt can run sets with mods and alphas split up at reasonable pricing that seems like a great solution.
Keep up the great work on this!

-1. I was a fraktur fan. I still like the colours, but without fraktur, it ends up looking too similar to Miami Nights. I'd be dropping out in the current iteration.
Fraktur is still coming, but thats fair. Thats why i'll be making both sets tho.

Regardless, would love to see a 1u option for the "A" row (Row 3?) in the ortho kit that isn't Tab or Esc. If there's a novelty that can go there, that's fine. Just can't tell with the current row numbering discrepancy if there's a 1u novelty for that row.

I was for Option 1 and have zero interest in 2/3, in its current form I've lost any interest in the set. My initial interest was also that Fraktur was being used with interesting colours, a Fraktur set in something "boring" like WoB or similar isn't something I'd be keen on.
I'd go one further than alphabirth and say I'm not interested in this iteration or any going forward that use Fraktur if it doesn't pop like this originally did.

Double 1u Ctrl isn't necessary; one of them can be safely removed, or moved to the add-on kit for ortho support.
Consider using R3 \|, R4 <> for basic ISO support in the base kit, and keeping all of the UK keys grouped together in the add-on kit. See how Tidal did it. (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=106389.msg2922457#msg2922457) More on this topic here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90706.msg2894820#msg2894820).
In short: move R3 #~, R4 \| from base to add-on, move R3 \| from add-on to base, add R4 <> to base.
Not sure how useful a R2 num = key is. R1, sure, but R2 — dunno, you might want to remove that.
Is that accent legend color seen on Esc and Enter the same as the alphas legend color?

In the 40% kit for the mega kits, there are duplicate R2 1u escape and tab keys. I think you only meant to two escape keys (one in blue and in in purple) and not four. Same with tab.I believe the numbering in the extension kit pic is just borked in general (see my previous comments below). I'm guessing there aren't supposed to be two R2 rows; one is supposed to be R2 and one is supposed to be R1.
The row numbering is messed up in one of the pics. Row 4 is bottom (and Row 1 is top) in one, Row 1 is bottom (and row 4 is top) the other.Sorry if this got lost in the shuffle, but the row numbering still isn't fixed. Can OP provide some clarity on what's in what row? Thanks!

Where can this be purchased? I seem to miss the thread for the GB or is it not live yet?
It's going to be live in 3 days :) A list of vendors where this will be available is in the OP.

Roughly how long will this take to produce and ship?
Most IFK sets take about 3-5 months for production, and depending on where you're located from and where you ordered from, some extra time to be sent to the vendors before it's packaged and shipped.

Thanks for letting me know! I'm currently 4 sets deep with GMK and have been looking for some slightly more instant gratification. This fits the bill as it looks like it'll take less time than your average GMK set to produce (also it looks fantastic).
