just a question, did you wait for them to be eliminated to post this ?

Add 2u Shift and make it with icon mod, maybe it will be better
PS: Change the modifiers legends to a super light baby blue and it will look perfect.
Yet again, a weak justification to force weeb alphas on the rest of the community.
Disgusting.
But it's blue so I'm in for 2.
you are doing so many projects, I hope you will not neglect the jamon because I am very interested. Anyway also this great set. :thumb:
KMK Labs.
Nice colors, any chance the alternate esc and enter colors could match the japan flag novelty colorway?
I forget... GMK has a “Meta” mold, right? I much prefer meta to code, but that’s a nitpick. I like this.
Would prefer standard Latin alphas (or at least as a separate kit with them), but either way I'm interested.
This set should really have a yattagarasu novelty. Mythical three legged crow as seen on the JFA badge.
Any idea on the order which your sets are being dropped Zam?
Samurai blue makes me think of Date Masamune and Sengoku Basara - there should totally be a crescent moon helmet novelty!
Hiragana monolegends kit pls ;D

Not going to happen. My idea for my near future sets it's to have one core kit, spacebars, and maybe one extra kit that provides extra layout coverage. The less we mess up with GMK setting up the machines, sorting, and shipping the better. Specially for small group buys.

Then throw out the gaijin alphas and make them Hiragana only in the base, ez game.

Sorry, I have to be super clear with this one, but hat's exactly what I won't do. There won't be extra alphas, or icon modifiers and I do not plan to do big changes to the base kit like the one you are suggesting.

Re-read what i wrote, this won't ADD anything.
edit: in the end i wouldn't care though, would just be even more theme related if there were no latin alphas at all :> So many latin+hiragana sets out/on their way and no hiragana only as far as i can see.
Came for the memes, stayed for an actually not bad looking keyset

GMK Oasis has a Hiragana set. The IC and GB are on here, but being carried out on Novelkeys.Yeah but the base has Latin, i meant hiragana only in the base set :)

This might be against the actual colors, but any plans on adding a darker blue color for mods? I think it would still keep the Samurai Blue spirit while also making the mods different.
Maybe a pipe key without the hiragana legend? That way you are able to use all mods with other sets if you wanna combine 2 sets.This is great feedback. +1

Uni-colored sets are rare as they are. I think this one should stay to be one.

Before posting a major update for the set, I'd like to address that I've spotted some community members saying "Blue Samurai" instead of "Samurai Blue". "Samurai Blue" is a referrence to the nickname the Japanese national team has received, so that's why I decided to go for it.I vote for Nishino Japan.
As I do not want to create any confussion, and this project has just started, I feel like it might be the right moment to change it, and avoid any future issues. Here are some proposals:
- Samurai Blues It's a very small change, but it would avoid people from swapping the order and saying "Blue Samurai". However, the change might not be enough for many people as it doesn't make a reference to the football aspect.
- Yatagarasu Soccer The three-legged crow and football. I've opted for soccer rather than football as that's how most people in Japan refer to the sport.
- Nishino Japan In reference to how Japanese media refer to the National team under the orders of Nishino
- Karappe or Karara Mascots of the national team
Keep the name as-is and overly-aggressively chastise those who reverse it.
Here is some small update about the novelties.
I've been exploring the idea of adding Yatagarasu, as Chokkan suggested. However, I can't see the idea to work well with the set. The novelty does not work with a blue background and using white for the strokes and, unlike the Japanese flag, I can't see it working well with the set. Let me know what you guys think about.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/JyH6MqF.png)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/Efa8UGc.png)

Agree with you.
I do believe that the white 1u/1.25u/1.5u R4 novelties -- regardless of the legend on it -- would be a bit too striking a contrast and thus wouldn't look as well. I personally would opt for a two-tone (just all base blue) look for the 60% section.
Separate iso kit, pls.
Separate iso kit, pls.
The ISO is basically a standalone kit bundled with a core kit, what I'm doing is just making it mandatory in the EU. If a non-eu vendor wants to offer a Core [EU], they should be able to do it without any issues, as what they'd be basically be submitting is an order for the core kit and an order for the ISO kit.

Just to clarify, will it be possible to order a base kit w/o ISO keys at a cheaper price point?

ISO will only be mandatory and bundled with the core just for the EU, where most (if not all) of the ISO users of GMK sets are. You can see an example of what I'm talking about with Chocolatier. (https://zambumon.com/chocolatier)

Do you think it could work if you invert the colors? Blue key with a white Yatagarasu (white on blue)? Or maybe a red (same as the Japanese flag) key with a blue Yatagarasu (blue on red)?
I'm really not the best to give advise about colors so sorry if it's a stupid idea :))

Wrong colour, Zambumon. Needs to be way lighter. Like this:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/raqiO78.png)
In the actual shirt it's very hard to realize the small stripes are blue because it's such a light tone. If the set can mimic that it will be perfect.
Oh that set with the navy Nemo is just fire :thumb:
Are you changing the colour of the legends to teal?
Are you changing the colour of the legends to teal?
No.
The set's colorway will remain as it is at the moment: white legends, blue modifiers.
Time to add a signature banner :P
Are you set on the kits planned by the way?
Or would you consider adding an international addon kit, something like this one:MoreShow Image(https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/gmk-plum-add-on-keycap-kit/MD-35606_20170303115410_55a4963cc2bd2853.jpg)
Is there any chance for a colemak kit? Or a no for the same price reasons as no international kit
Is there any chance for a colemak kit? Or a no for the same price reasons as no international kit
The reasons for not offering these kits are not only the price (which for a Colemak kit we'd need new legends) but also the demand... Let's keep expectations realistically here, even a set like Space Cadet which probably will do fantastic is going to have it difficult to offer those kits.

Update time
Here it is, the first big update for this set!
Make sure to check the new OP or its new project page (https://zambumon.com/samurai-blue/) which has all the details about this set.
Here are some notes regarding the update:
- As some of you might have noticed, I've not changed the name for this set, and it is still Samurai Blue.
- The set now has a now what we could consider a standard offer of kits for small & medium group buys: core, 40s, novelties, and spacebars, exactly the same type of layout that Chocolatier is offering.
- Novelties are no longer a part of the core kit, and now have their own add-on kit
- Lots and lots of new layout examples in the render gallery, including new upcoming keyboards such as Percebe, Andromeda, or wilba.tech Thermal
- Custom packaging and deskmat design is in the works
- A JFA jersey is on my way for color matching purposes. It wasn't easy to find one as they were all out of stock in Europe.

Zambumon I would like to give you advice, do not base your opinion colors on the shirt. For personal experience I tell you that even the original football shirts have a slightly different color between the different lots.

I'm going to end up using any color I like most, whether is closer or not to the my own jersey.
Sorry, side question: Where is this keyboard being IC or GBd? This is the first time I’m seeing it and OMG I WANT IT

Nope. This is just my standard way of making interest checks.

hey Zambumon now that i've given the Percebe a bit more study, i was wondering if it would be possible to have a 1.25 "/ ?" key where the 1.25 "shift" is included in the 40s kit as i would think that would be more appealing for 40% users. Maybe even having the option of bringing the "enter" key all the way to the end and have the "code" key closer to the ":;" key so we can accommodate having the " quote and apostrophe " key. This probably isn't the time and place for discussion of the Percebe as it is a WIP but i am just hyped for this keyboard. So apologies for taking this topic off tangent. (also will there be a Percebe Samurai Blue edition similar to the Percebe Jamon edition?)

This isn't really the thread for that, once I get things really going on, I'll start an IC for the keyboard, with all the relevant information but linked to Percebe and the 40s kit: the layout is final, and to access those keys you'd have to use layers as in any 40% keyboard.
Waiting for this to drop. a red Enter key perhaps? Even as extra or part of any kit, to capture the flag colors.
In order for the 40's kit to support Preonic there needs to be an R1 1u Backspace. I have seen some GMK kits that provide one in the main kit (don't know if some other boards use a 1u Backspace), but you do not include it in the main kit or in the 40's kit.

I've considered in the past adding it but then I start thinking about it and it doesn't make much sense to do it. Here is my reasoning: The OLKB keyboards have that philosophy that they were designed in a way that your fingers would hardly move away from the homerow, and that's how the planck was born. Your fingers just move one row up and down and you should be able to reach Enter, Esc, Tab, Backspace, Alt, Ctrl, hardly moving your hands. However, when the Preonic came, a 5th row was added, which solves one of the issues the Planck had (people not getting used to accesing numbers using lower and raise) but its default layout it's not consistent with the OLKB principle, because instead of keeping the Backspace in the same exact spot as the Planck (which very easy to reach, and it's very similar to what we could find with an HHKB layout) an essential key is moved away from the fingers making it harder to reach. Since the Preonic is easily programmable, and there are decent alternatives (such as delete) and the previous reasoning, I opted not to add either a R1 1.00U backspace to the Core kit or the 40% kit.
@zambumon great looking set... any consideration for the mods to be in the darker accented colour instead; with 'esc' and 'return' in the white and red of japan?
just my humble opinion ;D
I second this opinion. My interest in this is because it’s a uniform blue.@zambumon great looking set... any consideration for the mods to be in the darker accented colour instead; with 'esc' and 'return' in the white and red of japan?
just my humble opinion ;D
Upto Zambumon to finalize, but I personally like this uniform colored look, this shade of blue is just right, and looks amazing with withe legends. I think the dark shade mods may dampen the overall blueness of original design. I know folks have been crazy about Laser but I personally think this color scheme is much better. However a separate mods kit in darker shade may work out to satisfy those who prefer varying shades.
Again just my 2c.
I know you are currently busy with GMK Choclatier, but any idea when this will be dropped? Just want to plan my budget accordingly.

White novelties on the bottom row is a bit jarring imo.

No, and no.
As for why not: it's a price increase of about 35 EUR for a base kit that would be over 125 EUR and less than 30 people would buy it.

Definitely interested in this set. Would it be possible to include an R4 1.25 "/?" Key in the 40s kit though?
No support for a 40s kit anymore?
I would definietly be interested if it comes to fruition, the blue really pops. What are the odds of this making it to GB?

I’m in for this. Pair it with mods from WoB..... gonna be DOPE!

Updated OP's first render of Samurai Blue. Colors tweaked (they should be closer to the real deal).Show Image(https://i.redd.it/3mt7nuszb0c21.png)
Milk M60-A with GMK Samurai
Love the set but I like the richer blue of the original renders. Have the colors changed or are they rendered differently?

Any thoughts on adding a whole modifier set in the darker blue color? I really think this set would look great with the alphas being the lighter blue & the modifiers being the darker blue. Even having to grab an expensive additional kit to get that look, it would make me more likely to buy into this set. Don't get me wrong though, this is a lovely colorway as is & I can see it easily being a popular set. Just not for me in it's current state. :thumb:

The set will be as barebones as possible, I'm even looking at reducing the kits to just either a base kit and spacebars or just the base kit. Since the base kit has always been with just one color for both alphas and modifiers, I don't really want to change it in any way. Making add-on modifiers packs doesn't work very well with GMK sets.

Unfortunately I am afraid that it won't be like the current one. These kits, even for popular set struggle to reach the 100 units (which is the MOQ)

It's actually a bit more complicated than that.

It's still in use today by the maritime defense force and a different version is used by the army.
The Taisei Yokusankai (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Rule_Assistance_Association) is more associated with Imperial Japan in WW2.
The feelings on this are complicated and varied but should, of course, be left to the designer to decide.

The Self Defense Force was founded after WWII, as Japan technically no longer has an army, and they used the Rising Sun flag as it has always been linked with militar purposes. Since the Japanese football team has little to do with the army, and the negative connotations of this flag, I'm going to stay away from it.
for the record most japanese people view it as on par with other national imperialist symbols (i know the one you're thinking of) and would probably be upset by its inclusion
zambumon is right to not include it

What do you guys think about Jamón's 40s and joining two niches (forties and split keyboards).
Do you guys think that it's important for this set to include accents on the 40s kit? Would you prefer smaller kit with just accent enter and esc or without accents?
What do you guys think about Jamón's 40s and joining two niches (forties and split keyboards).I‘m mostly looking for split space support, but I think Jamons 40s future proofs the set for me. Some interesting 40-50% keyboards start to pop up.

Is there any chance of doing the kits like you did with the Jamon kits? I really liked the accessibility of the Jamon kits, primarily for the splitting up of the base kit, and the 40's kit.

Sorry to hear about the name, are there guidelines concerning intellectual property and inspiration for keysets or is it wholly on a case-by-case basis?

Absolutely not. That flag is a symbol of the imperialist Japan. It would be disrespectful with Korean and Chinese enthusiasts.
Can you just call it GMK Blue Samurai?
If I understand correctly, the problem with Samurai Blue is that it's the (un)official nickname of the Japanese national football team, and there could be IP issues if you keep calling it that. With Blue Samurai, the football reference is still there, but they shouldn't be able to (nor want to) claim IP infringement on “blue samurai” as it's not the same as their registered name. I mean, it's just two words that anyone could put together into a syntagm to describe a blue keycap set with Japanese legends. Especially with Red Samurai already being a thing and all.
Speaking of which, the name would also be a reference to Red Samurai, which I think is cool, unless you have a particular problem with that.
Also, Blue Samurai is kind of what people already call the set anyway (“blue sam” and “sam blue” seem just as common looking at a couple of Discords)...
Finally, wouldn't the JFA be flattered that you decided to pay homage to their team's performance in the World Cup by making a keycap set in the likeness of their jerseys? It's obviously a labor of love. Seems like all the more reason for them not to have a problem with it if you decide to call it Blue Samurai (again, at least to my eyes, you're obviously paying tribute to the name and not ripping it off).
Other than that, GMK Sashiko makes a lot of sense to me, but I think GMK Japón works the best overall (after GMK Blue Samurai).
GMK Tsubasa
I really loved Captain Tsubasa as a kid. And that manga inspired so many great football players.
Plus Tsubasa translates to wings!
+1 for GMK Yatagarasu. IMHO, if this keycap is a tribute to Japan Football team, it's better to name it based on the symbol of JFA: Yatagarasu. It doesn't matter there is no raven keycap novelty or the name doesn't represent the color.

Shūkyū? Translation for "soccer / football". According to my google fu, at least.
“KACHI-IRO” used to be widely preferred by samurai warriors πof Japan’s middle ages for their special clothes worn under their battle armours. It’s considered the darkest indigo-dyed colour and created by hitting cloths throughout the dyeing process. Hitting is translated as KATSU in Japanese language, and KATSU has the same pronunciation of the letter meaning victory. Certainly, those warriors and the following generations of Japanese believed the colour as a lucky charm brings victories to their battles and life itself.
Just FYI. Samurai Blue is based on Kachi-Iro (勝色) not Kon (紺).How about Spirit of Victory?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190209/a4db6f99958edfb4cdf43775a00cf5b8.jpg)

Victory Striker
I suppose GMK Striker, by itself, sounds pretty nice. Victory Striker is a tad too long.
“One of the most important things I have learnt about in Japan is the spirit of Shokunin. It means craftsmanship, however it is much more than that. One of the essential things is to make something for the joy of making it, and to do it carefully, beautifully, and to your utmost best of your ability. In Japan one can see this in the incredible delicate designs, or amazing machinery, and even the pride and perfection of even the cleaning staff. Similarly for a student, designer, or technologist, if you can have the Shokunin spirit you can learn to strive for innovation and make something, not only think of something, but make it, to as much as possible perfection."
GMK Shokunin; GMK SpiritThat strategy only starts to pay off at 500 Core kits. We would need a lot of luck for that to happen. I will consider this after Jamón endsQuote“One of the most important things I have learnt about in Japan is the spirit of Shokunin. It means craftsmanship, however it is much more than that.

Striker :thumb:Noted
"Saburai" is ancient pronunciation of "Samurai".
cf. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BE%8D#Etymology_1
"Saburai Blue" sounds very similar to "Samurai" for Japanese speakers and can avoid infringing on a trademark.
How about "Nippon Blue"?I'm definitely going with something with striker on it.
Same as Japanese blue. Just add some japanese pronunciation.

I still think there should be a R4 1.25u /? Key :o
Most 40s kit already have a LH shift as part of the standard default layout and for a small keyboards to replace the /? Key which I believe is used quite frequently with another shift key doesn't make sense to me. I realise that utilising a 40% you are already giving up a lot of regularly used keys for the small form factor which will be accessible via functions but still it just feels right to have access to the /? key rather than have 2 shift keys on the same row. You could probably say the same for the RH alt and ctrl keys but those generally seem to be replaced with FN / layer keys. Maybe I'm just in the minority for thinking this?
No 6u spacebar? Too niche?

A 1.25U left shift replacement for a /?, that's extremely uncommon. Like I can see people asking for a 1.75U /?, but even with that...No 6u spacebar? Too niche?
Maybe, which one would you use (off-center/centered)? For which keyboard?

Oh nice. Was looking for the Samurai blue thread today and couldn't find it but stumbled across this. Glad to see it's going to be produced!
40s/Split kit looks good to me. What exactly is the reasoning for the extra B in the kit? I know you've addressed it before, but I can't seem to find it or remember. Also, I think the B should have the hiragana sub-legend こ like the base kit alphas.

That's unfair; you're taking something selling on MD, something on which we pay a **** ton of customs. Plus the facts that jamon is not a colorway liked by everyone - no disrespect to Zambumon but I personally don't like the set.
Something similar also happened with GMK Chocolatier. We had an EU proxy.

Yeah but that's the same for all keysets; I know people in the states that use the ISO return key with an ANSI layout. I'm not asking you to put it in the core kit, as a matter of fact I'm not asking anything, but I feel like that could have been added to another kit, just to make it available.

40s/Split kit looks good to me. What exactly is the reasoning for the extra B in the kit? I know you've addressed it before, but I can't seem to find it or remember. Also, I think the B should have the hiragana sub-legend こ like the base kit alphas.
TGR Alice has 2 Bs

Sorry for my ignorance, but is the extra B really only for the TGR Alice?
No other ergo split boards have an extra "B", like the VE.a and LZ Ergo for example.

Ah got it. Thanks for the info!
New kits are pretty great! I’m very happy to see the accent Esc and Enter included with the core.
Also really pleased to see the 40s kit is still alive! I’m completely fine with the reduced splitbar support compared to Jamón’s 40s kit. My only complaint would be I’d still like to see the regular color Esc and Enter in the 40s kit as well as the accented ones (so something in between this and Jamón’s 40s kit). Pretty small complaint though and I would happily purchase the kit as is :thumb:

That's something I want to discuss with those interested on the kit. The impact of those keys could be from $5 to $8 or $9, which might not be so good for lower MOQs.
Could we get a Jamon x Striker combo render? Perhaps striker alphas with Jamon mods? Giving me a Man in the High Castle vibe. Same could be said of bento alphas with Jamon mods maybe? Curious if anyone thought about these combos or how they would turn out!

Any plans to bring back the normal colored Esc and Enter in the 40s kit? (In addition to the accent color ones you have in there at the moment)
@Zambumon.
I know you have done tons of analysis on this (interest and cost and so so much debate) but does the hard objective participation numbers in Jamon ensure there will be a 40%/Split kit (the pictured kit) on future buys?

The render is so beautiful. :thumb: :thumb:

@Zambumon did you tweak the colors of the key caps again to be darker? if so they look niiiiice.
The samurai blue looks amazing... probably without the symbols.

I like the original Cherry modifiers with the symbol and text. I'm not a fan of text-only enter or shifts.
Like sticker slaps? Or "slaps zambumon"?
I'm still hoping we go back to the old way of doing kits. Numpad within base.
Now that we have a date, do you have an idea of the target prices?Currently working on them!
Colors are looking so good on this set! Any chance on also having the classic hexagon print deskpad in blue?
Colors are finalized, hopefully the renders should be close enough to the actual keycap colors.
Are these kits finalized? I'm still hoping for the non-accented Esc and Enter as well in the 40s kit. The monochrome look is one of my favorite things about this set!
Having a good pricing for that kit is super important if we want to hit MOQ. So that's why I've opted to just offer the accent keys since I like how they look with a 40%.Are these kits finalized?

I understand. I hoped that the Jamón 40s kit had sold well enough that you'd have the confidence to run a bigger 40s kit for Striker too, but I can definitely appreciate the importance of keeping prices lower without the reach that Massdrop brings.
On the plus side, I love Rama caps, and these ones are no exception! They both look great! :D

We avoid Massdrop in the UK becuase we end up paying 20% more and handling charge. Nevertheless, it would cost maybe $10 more per base kit to include ISO keys and let's be honest, if someone wants a GMK set enough to drop over $130 on it, that difference would not change their mind. It is a bull**** excuse that tbh shows these set makers have no idea how supply and demand works for niche products like keycap sets. The most successful GMK sets ever run all include ISO in the base kit. If they are struggling to hit MOQ, then maybe the designs just are not very popular.

Did you see the Massdrop ReCap yesterday? There were ISO kits from sets that ran on there 3 years ago. The demand is very low for ISO kits and compatibility (proven by the low number of ISO-specific sets sold compared to total kits sold per buy). Based on your very simple remark about supply and demand, if the demand of the product is well below the threshold (MOQ), why supply it?I'm still hoping we go back to the old way of doing kits.

GMK makes no other profile other than cherry profile.
Cherry had multiple profiles including a low profile spherical one and the one we commonly call the "Cherry profile" (which are cylindrical keycaps. GMK bought the molds of both of those profiles in the 90s.
GMK also has recently made flat low profile keycaps for the Cherry ML switch.

So far GMK drops have only been Cylindrical Cherry, right? Do you think there will ever be a GMK drop using Spherical Cherry, or are those tools gathering dust in storage?

Spherical Cherry is similar to DSA: same row profile for each row and I'm not into it. I prefer sculpted profiles.

You guys don't seem to understand his question.
Base Kit: 110 EUR vs 100$, bigger EUR number than Dollar number.
Numpad: 33 EUR vs 36$, bigger Dollar number than EUR number.
He questions why the ratio is not roughly the same between all kits.
Most Americans definitely pay sales tax (source: I am an American) and it varies by state the exclusions being Alaska, Delaware,Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon.Because Americans don't pay sales tax unlike us euros. Hence why even accounting the extra shipping to the Americas it's less expensive. The joys of big governmentMykeyboardEU prices include VAT. The Core kit is around 90 EUR (approximately $100) sans VAT.Is there a reason why for the base kit € > $ but for the other kits € < $ ?33€ is not less than 36$
But the base kit is more expensive
You guys don't seem to understand his question.
Base Kit: 110 EUR vs 100$, bigger EUR number than Dollar number.
Numpad: 33 EUR vs 36$, bigger Dollar number than EUR number.

C’mon folks, few $£€¥ here or there doesn’t make much difference. The delta will be minimal. In for base + numpad. Wondering if Z man will offer this in SA in future now that it appears that SP has molds as seen in SA Laser IC.
sa is trash

And I'd have to fix the missing Hiragana sub legends. Again.

Surely you can't believe there are more 40% users than ISO users..

One thing is the userbase (which is obviously in favor of ISO) and another thing is the subset of people interested on aftermarket keysets like GMK Striker.Show Image(https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/massdrop-x-zambumon-gmk-jamon-custom-keycap-set/FP/luAwYQluSyKGt5d09JT8_community%20(2).jpg?mode=guest_open)
I own a bunch of GMK sets now and have never once bought off assdrop because I don't want to pay 20% duty + "handling fee" from Her Majesty's Royal Mail, and I'd bet my house on other ISO users feeling the same way. It's a different story when there are EU proxies.Surely you can't believe there are more 40% users than ISO users..

accepted market rate for ISO use is ~7.8% according to the vendors i have asked about it
more than left handed guitars, at least

And I bet the number of core kits for Jamon in that picture would not have changed much if ISO was included in the base and the kit was $10-$15 more expensive.
That small price difference will not significantly impact the demand for limited run (read: limited supply) items like aftermarket keysets.

Don't fail me this time... You've already passed on Jamón.
wish there was a kobe kitI don't like them
Is there a Geekhack [GB] thread for Striker?
Hey Zambumon. Really excited this is finally happening.
How does the custom blues on the alpha keys compare to the blue for hydro? Do you have a render/irl comparison?
