I ink that your custom legends/symbols are too complicated for he muted color palette. I feel like if you want it to be subtle those symbols should also be simple and understated.

Just me though, I'm no keycap designer :))

Is there any specific reason for the faded renders?

If not, I'd strongly recommend you to present them under a black or 90% gray background. Another thing to note is that in comparison to my color ring, the colors being displayed here are not even remotely close to representing the true tones. For example, WFK is white as a sheet of paper but my retina display is showing a gray tone.


EDIT:

room (white bulb) & monitor lightning

I like this and if it makes it to the GB stage any time in the near future then I would get in on this.

Now I don't want to start to be one of those spanners that complicates everything in an IC but the 60% mockup there looks outstanding. Would there be any change of pink F-keys being made available as I rock TKL only and that pink row across the top on the 60% really ties the board together.

I will be monitoring this thread, hope you can make it happen bud.

I really like the color scheme on this one, great options and fonts. Just the novelties keys i'm not so crazy on they're a bit to complex for my taste.

What do you think about the flower without the center design?

I really like this design

I'm not sure between the original novelty keys and the new ones though

MITO was saying over in the Mint Chocolate IC thread that SP requires that lines are at least 0.02" thick and that gaps are of equal thickness as well

About the kanji you have for 'flower'. That one is usually used to mean brilliant, or glamourous. A simple flower would be 花. Not sure if that is what you were going for, so my apologies if I'm off the. I'm not Japanese; I just live here. :)

While we're on the subject of the novelties... Am I the only one who thinks the bamboo shoot looks vaguely assault rifle-y? I like the idea, but I honestly did think it was a gun at first.

I thought it looked gun-like too, not saying it's bad, but I wouldn't turn away any alternatives

I'm new to the mechanical keyboard game and as a result, I've missed many great group buys. If this set becomes a reality, It'll be the first geekhack group buy I'll be a part of. I love what you've done here and I'll definitely buy if this comes out!

I hope by the time this goes live I have the budget for a set, I'm really digging the design and the novelties are really pretty. My wife doesn't have her own desktop but we can just frame it and hang it on the wall I guess, or I can use it myself like a real man should  :thumb:

By the way I prefer the more detailed legends, I like to stare at detailed stuff :D

With all the talk on people needing money here, it almost seems like this place could use a write-up on taking advantage of some of the beer money sites out there to get some extra cash.

The contrast of the legends against the base key caps color is very low.

Really loving the colors. Might have to break my no more MX-mount dcs profile caps rule for this set.

Edit: Wait, katushkin confused me. This is in dsa? Please please make it in SA or DCS.

If you add the ISO enter key to the international kit you'd have to add the left ISO shift key too. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense.

This really needs to be SA.

We've got a lot of SA projects in the works right now.  DSA might be a way to go to get the project off the ground faster.  For SA, the proejcts off the top of my head and with a quick scan of the front page of this forum we've got...

Official:
Carbon - MassDrop group buy complete, production pending
Danger Zone - MassDrop group buy complete, production pending
Round 5a - I believe this one is closed for order and is now production pending but, at least, round 5 is shipping and 5a to be done soon after.

Works in progress:
Troubled Minds - looks like discussions are under way so this one may move to a buy in the coming months
Retro Blight
Classic Space - with custom legends so it may take some time
Dasher / Dancer - over at DT primarily
Green Screen
Earfbound - SA R3 is what it's currently planned as.
Dusk - been a bit quiet on that but still potential as interest seems to be there.
Penumbra round 2 - Bunny mentioned that this is in the works and is only pending time as he's been rather busy lately but it is something that should come along.

I think that the fact that all the SA keysets being run now is a testament to how much everybody prefers SA to DSA
I can't think of a single successful DSA buy that has been run off GH lately - only Mito DSA did well and that was because it had wide exposure through Massdrop

I believe you are correct.  The down side is that SP only has so many SA molds they can put to use at any given time and we seem to be keeping those pretty busy lately.  That or, at least, I've been led to believe such. 

If so, SP might consider additional mold count for more capacity there.  Now if only they'd work on getting PBT SA doubleshots to be a thing, dammit!  A man can dream....

For me, I have neither SA nor DSA sets right now as I'm just getting some spare cash for such things.  I've considered the Eve set but I'm not a massive fan of white keycaps with black text so I've passed.  This one, while still white caps, would offer a nicer color scheme that I'm sure some little ones in the household would approve of.  Also, given I'm likely jumping in on at least one or two of the aforementioned SA sets, a DSA set would be a nice alternative for me.  Though I admit, I'm being greedy there.

From what I've seen with SP while they are pretty good apart from the occasional legend error here and there is that they have quite a lot of inertia when it comes to getting anything involving investment

People here have been trying to get them to make Row 4 shift keys for ages and they still haven't made them so I doubt they are going to make a whole new set of SA moulds anytime soon

I have no DSA sets.  This set could change that as I wouldn't mind giving DSA a try.  If it goes SA, it goes SA.  I'm just saying I wouldn't mind if it was DSA as it gives me a chance to try that profile out.

This really needs to be SA.

We've got a lot of SA projects in the works right now.  DSA might be a way to go to get the project off the ground faster.  For SA, the proejcts off the top of my head and with a quick scan of the front page of this forum we've got...

Official:
Carbon - MassDrop group buy complete, production pending
Danger Zone - MassDrop group buy complete, production pending
Round 5a - I believe this one is closed for order and is now production pending but, at least, round 5 is shipping and 5a to be done soon after.

Works in progress:
Troubled Minds - looks like discussions are under way so this one may move to a buy in the coming months
Retro Blight
Classic Space - with custom legends so it may take some time
Dasher / Dancer - over at DT primarily
Green Screen
Earfbound - SA R3 is what it's currently planned as.
Dusk - been a bit quiet on that but still potential as interest seems to be there.
Penumbra round 2 - Bunny mentioned that this is in the works and is only pending time as he's been rather busy lately but it is something that should come along.

I think that the fact that all the SA keysets being run now is a testament to how much everybody prefers SA to DSA
I can't think of a single successful DSA buy that has been run off GH lately - only Mito DSA did well and that was because it had wide exposure through Massdrop

I believe you are correct.  The down side is that SP only has so many SA molds they can put to use at any given time and we seem to be keeping those pretty busy lately.  That or, at least, I've been led to believe such. 

If so, SP might consider additional mold count for more capacity there.  Now if only they'd work on getting PBT SA doubleshots to be a thing, dammit!  A man can dream....

For me, I have neither SA nor DSA sets right now as I'm just getting some spare cash for such things.  I've considered the Eve set but I'm not a massive fan of white keycaps with black text so I've passed.  This one, while still white caps, would offer a nicer color scheme that I'm sure some little ones in the household would approve of.  Also, given I'm likely jumping in on at least one or two of the aforementioned SA sets, a DSA set would be a nice alternative for me.  Though I admit, I'm being greedy there.

Am I reading this right?

So you would rather pay for a less desirable profile with the trade off of getting it in your hands sooner?

Hahahaha, I hope it's not that bad but I've yet to own any SP caps so I can't fully comment.  I'll keep my eyes on this one and see how it goes.  Hell, I'm not even sure I like SA profile caps yet so my first SA set will be interesting.

I think those that want the Cherry / OEM type profile are moving to GMK, JTK, and other vendors as there have been some criticisms of DCS; thin caps, edges too sharp are ones I've seen.  I can't comment directly on DCS caps as I've yet to use them.

Tempting to alter it.  Hana is the number one in Korean.  Being married to a Korean, I'd end up going with a Korean theme.

Could you add a 1,25u shift to the International kit? I mean, I don't see the point of just a ISO enter there. Either way, looks great.
Title: Re: [IC] Hana Keyset (previously Sakura)
Post by: Vala on Thu, 10 December 2015, 02:08:46
I'm sorry I haven't been posting updates on the set, I'll try to keep more active from now on.

Addressing some concerns...


Profile
I made this set DSA because of the huge influx of SA sets coming in lately. I've never really been fond of DCS and there is only a minority of people who really want it.

Novelties...
I've had some real trouble figuring out novelties for this set. I see what people are saying when they look a little too complex (especially the flower). Although they aren't currently
the worst, but I'm looking for any possible suggestions to help spice it up a bit.


Groupbuy
I've been in contact with livingspeedbump, but I haven't really been able to figure out when a possible run date for this set could be (through Massdrop specifically).
If no new information comes soon, I'll just post it on PMK's interest check system and let it figure itself out there.


International + ISO Kit
The thinking behind having the two kits the way they are is so U.K ISO users (who I'm fairly certain constitute most of the ISO consumer base) can buy their
kit and all other European countries can fill out the extras with the International kit. I'm totally open to suggestions about this. I think adding the ISO enter
key to the international kit might make either one not tip or become too expensive (I removed the ISO enter from the International child deal).

Anyways, sorry for the period of inactivity, I'll make sure to stay up to date this time.

Wouldn't you already have the 1.25u shift key from the ISO kit? May I ask what layout this would serve?

As a simple novelty, would it be possible to do Hana in Hangul (Korean)?  It would be 하나.  I realize the theme is almost entirely Japanese but hana is a word found in several languages.  In Korean it's the number 1 but also used as a female name.  In Hebrew, it means grace.  In Albanian it means moon.

You could go with an international array with the novelties, then.

Hmmm... this just gave me an idea. Maybe novelties based on the meaning in different languages? Just not sure if moon and grace will be able to fill out all of the keys I need.

12/26: Probably was a bad idea to restart the thread right before I took my trip to California. I had some vectors in the works when I left on the 22nd, but I won't be able to modify them until I get back to my PC on the 2nd. Sorry.

Right, that's kind of what I was thinking with it.  Grace might be tricky to depict but you could go with simply writing Hana in Hebrew.  There would be a bit of an interesting selection there with some text and some imagery.

Seems to be the popular choice at the moment.  That could potentially put it into a July-or-later time frame depending on a few other SA sets that have received pricing and are going into the final IC stages before becoming a group buy.

Hello everybody who is interested in the set :) I have done some restructuring, which includes much nicer renders and the change from DSA to SA. the set is staying DSA

I also come with a poll with 5 different novelty options so I can get some opinions on which one should be in the set.

They're possible in PBT as dyesub, I believe.  For doubleshot, it's ABS only.

I am going to be sending the kits off to SP soon to get a quote, so I'd love any feedback anybody has on the child deals! Anything that has to be changed should be changed now.
expect the set in the near future :)

So the green Enter and Esc keys in the original mockup are a no-go?
Kinda liked that Yogurtland vibe.

Are you sure that wasn't another set? I never had any green keys in the original mock-ups (although I might add it now..)

You're right, I got confused with another set that has similar novelties https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=72447.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=72447.0).
But I think a pastel-green kind of color on certain keys (like the bamboo enter key or Esc) would make this really pop.  :D
Just my opinion. But feel free to dismiss that comment about the green since I got confused haha.

EDIT: Linked set referenced.

I'd prefer if the Nav keys were actually 1 color, so maybe throw those extra keys into the adapter kits?

Which keys are the nav keys?

The tkl kit is made up of the base set + flextras + novelties. If you just get the base set along with the novelties, all your flowers will be white.

- Made the promotional images more clear that they aren't child deals
- Added "Yogurt" kit! (please suggest names :P)

I'd call it green tea instead of Yogurt :P.

+1 for the chrysanthemum, It'd be cool to have 3 different flowers instead of 2+1.

And the Pagoda looks good. I think if you added more detail to it, it wouldn't look as good when it's to scale to the actual keyboard.

If you're doing non-sculpted DSA, I'd be in for Ergodox, Colemak/Dvorak, Prefectures, and green. If possible, I'd be super stoked to add an extra green enter, extra green bamboo, or maybe a couple green 1u and 2u blanks in there for the Ergodox users.

Do like the chrysanthemum, though in my mind a 'mum icon has extra layers of complexity, like you see here in the top right:

This is why I was scared to add green keys in a new child deal, it starts to become an issue to fit it into other kits. I'll make sure green blanks are available to buy when this comes to fruition. Any other suggestions to the green kit that could make it more compatible (apart from blanks)?

And I'll experiment with some other Chrysanthemum designs as well, but not sure I can make it work with such fine designs.

Personal opinion

Overall: I think you should decrease the font size on all of them. Its too big, and not really nice on that spacebar.

/r/mechanicalkeyboard: too long . How about /r/mk? better right?

and that first space bar design, with keys on the left? big nope for me

Knowing and understanding your hesitation about the downward spiral that comes with supporting the varied kits, I think your existing kit with some blanks will take care of quite a bit. The reason I suggested adding the bamboo or the enter was just because you already had one of each in the child kit. Having blanks available works for me.

Thanks for trying the detailed chrysanthemum out. I figured the one I linked to would be too detailed, though it could have been worth looking at.

Thanks again. Looking forward to this kit.

I am sending it over to Signature Plastics tomorrow for pricing tomorrow, so please, tell me if you have any suggestions left.

I decided not to include the Chrysanthemum for now as the child deals were getting kind of ridiculous, and having another mold would
not be good for pricing (on top of the extra keys it would warrant). I thought this would be a preferable trade off.

Random question: Where did you get the inspiration for this colorway/set?

Random question: Where did you get the inspiration for this colorway/set?

A friend of mine had very picky tastes when I was trying to get him into the hobby, and when I asked him what colors he would like to have on a keycap set,
he helped me create a palette for Hana (called Sakura back then). So I guess in the end he'll get what he wants (that is if he gets the set :P)!

Extremely attractive stuff, definitely interested. Looking forward to seeing how the Matcha set serves as an accent to the base set.

Alright everybody, it has been confirmed! The group buy is happening in about two weeks, on

April 6th,

through Massdrop.

Thanks to everybody for the interest and critique! I hope I got everybody's needs covered.
If there are any final things I might have missed, now is the time to tell me! I don't have much time to change anything :).

For the sake of transparency, I have used two icons from the Noun project (the two flower
novelties). The lotus flower is in CC 1.0 (Public Domain), which means it can be used

Most likely pad printing, it would cost a lot of money to make the tooling for custom doubleshots

Probably around 1 month, as with most Massdrop keycap group buys. I would expect it to end around the start of March / end of April.

Looking at the mockups one more time to make sure I know what I want before tomorrow :D

Once I get home tonight (around 9pm PST), I will be updating the mockups as there were some changes due to SP requirements.

They were:
- Making the bamboo novelty nicer/thicker
- Making the Japanese characters nicer/thicker
- Fixing up some prefecture novelties (and substituting one which was nearly impossible for SP to print with another one).
- Changing spacebar designs to be 1.5in in length (they will be pad printed by the way!)
- Changing the ISO novelty enter to fit requirements (sorry about this, it isn't as cool :( )
- Adding some more keys to the Matcha set (this was not required by SP)

No major changes, just thought I should let you know what to expect.

Picked up each of the sets I said I'd be in for (base, EDx, mak/rak, matcha). Hoping the momentum continues to see some price drops on these. If we can hit the breaks on each category, I can come back in under $120USD, which is what I was hoping for on this set.

And again, big congrats, Vala. Glad to see this come together.

Quick question about the pricing though. In the picture, the base kit drops to 51.99 after 250, but the pricing doesn't reflect that, as almost 250 people have already purchased that. Is there no price difference for the drop?

Ah, I just found it in their noted section,

Note: To avoid errors/confusion with the current checkout system, we will be changing the drop points manually for this drop. We are paying attention to the number of child kits being bought as well. If they reach certain quantities, we will adjust their prices accordingly. You may notice fluctuations in your checkout price as we make these adjustments on the back end, but you will not be charged more for anything.

Blank kits should be in any time now for whoever is waiting, so don't worry, the drop will still be here for 15 days :P

Very successful. Definitely need an SA and a cherry profile.  ^-^

Was on the fence a few days before the drop ended but convinced myself I should join. So glad I did, now that I think about it I really love the muted purple look.

Wow, I missed the Granite and I was curious about your statement. So I checked the Granite discussion on Massdrop. It does look like a disaster... Now I feel worried. How come this happened. SP's fault?

Huge volume order with pushed deadline? This is what I assume. Or maybe the error is in the range as usual but since a lot more people joined the number of complaint rised too while the defect ratio is still the same as any keyset before.

Honestly I'm thinking of selling mine after seeing originative classic cherry GB which support hhkb and wkl layout now (and with colored hiragana sub legends!) but let's see how mine looks first  :p

Any word as to whether this set will be back any time soon? PMK had this set listed as "coming soon" under releases, but they stated it was delayed and I haven't seen news on it yet.

I've been waiting to pick this one up, it's all of my favorite colors and so pretty! I found out about it RIGHT after the drop needed on MD lol.

If anybody isn't sure they want to keep their set, I'm interested in buying one (base tkl, prefectures, pink frow, novelties preferred)

I have the Base Kit and Matcha Kit that I'd be willing to part with if people are interested in Hana.

Sorry, I'm blind. I looked at that picture before commenting and completely missed the color code portion. Thanks!
