Your sublegends seem to be a bit off and I personally would be considering this for a JIS layout. See graphic below:

Well, he's using katakana not hiragana. But I am realizing now that he's using an odd mix of the two...

Edit: I was looking at Mecha-01 for reference, but it appears Biip did the same thing that is being done here for Bushido?

cute colors, but honestly I've never seen a small shop that uses take away boxes or sells boba. otherwise, the icons are really well designed, would love to see other toppings used as novelties!

edit: actually, I just realized, are those chopsticks sticking up and out of the bowl and take away box? that's a decently large cultural faux pas, as bowls are presented that way at funerals to offer to the dead.

Definitely would be interested in buying at least the base + both novelty kits, count me in :thumb:

Hi there. The layout of the katakana sublegends that you have chosen for this set is based on an outdated Apple layout (https://imgur.com/WFbb0Yp) that was used only on some vintage Apple keyboards. Please consider changing the set to use the standard ANSI-JP layout (https://imgur.com/fFbVmAv).

Extensive accents vs no accents
Extensive novelties vs one novelty
Split numpad and 40s support vs one kit
Icon mods vs icon + text mods
Has a theme vs NULL

They both have magenta moon runes, what a rip-off!

Be honest, have you ever been to a real ramen shop? :p

The drinks with straws novelties need to go. Color choice is also interesting? Prominent color pallet with ramen shops are red, yellow, orange, white and black.

Not sure how changing the dark green differentiates it more from Sushi. If anything, focusing more on the pink brings it closer imo. The color play between the cool white and the dark green was the highlight for me, so I hope you bring it back.
Title: Re: [IC] ePBT RamenStop | Week 1 updates!!!
Post by: ..//dexx on Sun, 20 September 2020, 14:04:05
It's better. But I really still think you should go with red, orange/yellow for the accents; black (and white) for the text.

I love the new yellow but not a fan of the new pink. The older, darker shade was much nicer.

I don't mind the change in green, but I really wish green accent keys weren't replaced by yellow. My interest level in this set was highly dependent on the green accent keys.
Title: Re: [IC] ePBT RamenStop | Week 1 updates!!!
Post by: rikercd on Mon, 21 September 2020, 08:40:46
Do you have side by sides of the new/old colors? Or are they already there and I'm missing it?

Don't take the ePBT Sushi comparisons too harshly. ePBT Sushi is a great set but it has complete ass compat. I'm a huge fan of this set because if fills a similar role as my ePBT Sushi desires but has the compat that I need. Will definitely be in for this.

The green colorway was a lot better. Now this base kit just looks extremely generic as far as the world of Japanese/English kits goes. There are so many white caps with black/charcoal and red/pink already. Hope it's brought back.
Edit: oh and of course it's decided by a very close Instagram poll to an already done colorway. Rip.

Feel free to drop the R4 1u \|ム key from the kit, it's not necessary. In its place, I recommend adding a R1 1u `~ー key (for ISO and JIS layouts).

Edit: R1 End, PgDn in the base kit can also be removed as unnecessary keys since they are now included in the numpad kit.

I really REALLY like this set except for the Modifiers not being offered in the Seaweed colorway. I'd instabuy this set if it had like chopsticks for the shift keys in that Seaweed.

Kinda wish the dark deskmat didn’t have the “pink” in it. Any possibility on switching out that color? I think the light color way works well with it but the “dark” isn’t that dark with that pink IMO.

I really like the color scheme of this set! I realize this goes a bit against the theme, but might you consider an alternate alphas kit that doesn't have katakana sub-legends?

That looks very nice! :thumb: Do you think it would be problem to add two keys (can be blank) of I think it is 1.5 width for R1 in your scheme? I have Vortex Race 3 and it has these for "escape" and "delete" keys in top left and right corner...

Interesting colour pallet

That's what we've been saying since the beginning. :)

The colors look good but they aren't "small ramen shop" colors. Which are predominantly red, orange, and yellow with black and white texts. At this point I'm starting to suspect (shades of) yellow, green and pink are the creator's favorite colors. GMK Retrocast was also green, yellow and pink albeit in a different pantone.

Currently working on the deskmats, there will be 6 different options so I'm sure you'll find one you like :)

actually, I just realized, are those chopsticks sticking up and out of the bowl and take away box? that's a decently large cultural faux pas, as bowls are presented that way at funerals to offer to the dead.

I fixed it, I apologize for the insensitivity. :thumb:

I have never seen any of those special characters in any set... I would also love to have some characters from my language but I got used to missing them and memorized them already.
I simply don't think that would be cost-effective.

Fantastic, ISO-UK support added!

Europe: Candykeys

Since you’re supporting it, any possibility of a UK proxy too? Sadly, post-Brexit a lot of EU-UK trade is quite disrupted.

Hi!

I love the design - the two tone feel is something I loved from KON MOMO and I'm glad to see more people using the possibilities of dye sub  :D

I was glad to see ISO UK support added, however the "localisation" kit is... confusing to say the least. ISO UK is missing two keys, there are a couple of portuguese and german keys, and then there's a few keys I can't even identify which national layout they're from.

(https://i.imgur.com/wvIWdgy.png)

Miguel Farah/depletedvespene has put out some great resources for creating international kits: Kits (http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/Possible-International-Kits-for-Custom-Sets/#NORDEUKPPP) National Layouts (http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/A-Visual-Comparison-of-Different-National-Layouts/) Interactive comparisons between layouts (http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/A-Visual-Comparison-of-Different-National-Layouts/). I highly recommend looking into them and using them to adjust the localisation kit to support the languages you choose.

I would love to buy this set, but with the current state of the Localisation kit, it would personally be a pass.

Thank you for making a start, though  :)

(I also support the notion of a UK vendor - ProtoTypist is who I'd personally recommend)

Please rework the localization kit to make it work with NorDe layouts as pointed out in the post above. If fixed this set would be an instant buy for me. Thank you!

From what I can gather, this kit is mixing support for two different layouts: a) English (UK) ; b) Japanese (Latin) as seen on JIS keyboards. Both are incomplete. See http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/Interactive-Comparator-of-Different-National-Layouts/?left=enUK&right=jaJPla (http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/Interactive-Comparator-of-Different-National-Layouts/?left=enUK&right=jaJPla) for a direct comparison between both.

I'll make a separate post with all the issues I find in this kit.

Post by: depletedvespene on Sat, 23 January 2021, 15:55:01
Konstantin has already pointed to the proper information about Hiragana and Katakana, so I'll focus on the Latin alphabet.

1) The base kit is ANSI only (plus the 1.25U Shift). This is fine, as long as the localization kit gets everything else right.

To support JIS (Latin): R4 \_ is missing. R1 7* should be 7' (bit-paired keyboard, remember!). R1 ¥| is missing.

To support English (UK): R4 \| is missing (also counts for English (US), PC style). R1 is missing.

Once a new diagram that combines everything is produced, I'll be happy to fine-comb it.

This is pretty awesome.

I am just a bit confused about the Bars Kit.
It feels very big but at the same time, it doesn't offer every color for split bars.

Is it not possible to include Kamaboko and Seaweed split bars into the current kit similar to the Colors Kit that has every color?

My favorite accents are Seaweed and Kamaboko. The only 2 colors left out :(


Or maybe to have 2 Bars Kits could be an option?
1 with every color for 6.25 and 7.
And 1 with every color for Split Bars.

I like the set, good colors, nice theme! An idea for round 2 maybe, how about a novelty kit with a few different caps in all the color choices? I don't see many people needing 20-30 novelty keys, and if you want variety in colors then you're looking at dozens of extra caps.

Is it too late to fix the localisation kit, in that case?

Edit: oop, should have checked OP.

It did occur to me at one point, but I just decided to focus more on keeping the base kit price low. However when I do this next time I'll make a Command kit for my mac folks.

They white is completely different, the pantone I chose for it looks similar to WS2 but slightly cooler.

Hi, I like this design a lot. However, I can't help noticing that the Japanese characters are different from the standard Japanese keyboard which other keycaps have.

Look at each character. They are different. I wonder why is that. Thanks!
