Any chance you are going with ISO layout and an international kit for DE and other languages?
If you haven't already thought about it, possibly some umbrellas or clouds would be cool for novelties.
If by 2020 you haven’t written a short story about the colors in a keyset and inspiration behind them.... you aren’t even relevant.

It rains a lot where I live. I love this set and your colors are spot on, please don't change them! That blue is perfect. I would definitely buy and orthos set and novelties. I love the raindrop novelties and support the addition of cloud novelties. Gimme a banner so I can add it to my posts!
Think about making a google form to find out what sets people are willing to buy.Any chance you are going with ISO layout and an international kit for DE and other languages?
I think it should be perfectly feasible to add ISO support as most sets do these days. Not sure if it will go in the base kit or as an extra kit yet though. But you can expect it either way.
I can't say for certain on the other languages though. I started with Hangul as Korean is the language that I am attempting to learn off and on and the aesthetics of the characters fit really well with the set I believe. However if there is an overwhelming majority that wants something else I am absolutely open to making that change.
GMK does better matching to RAL, have you looked into RAL matching the colors over Pantone? Overall I like the look of the set.
Set doesn't really interest me but I love the album the cover of which you made your profile photo so support! 👍
Don't forget a version of F and J with homing bumps. I think there's normally a homing key on numpad tooSame for hangul version too.
Nice, I really like the base colors & the slightly blueish accent plays surprisingly well with it all! This is definitely a set I'd be interested in.
I really like these colours and the tone, a set like this has some real potential to become a hit. But there are some niggles.
Here are a few things that bother me though:
- The miss-match in the KLE to the render is quite bad, and shouldn't happen. People are going to get confused are will make more work for you than needed.
- Please consider putting full UK ISO in there. For the sake of 3 more 1u keys, the UK crowd would be grateful if you did.
- Getting good renders done early would have complete this IC more for me and given much more creative room to show off the set (and novelties). I understand that you are getting them done but this IC could have carried so much weight and attention with them right of the gate.
Other than that, it's a great set and good luck with running because I'm sure Vendors will jump on this! GL
Add a bench next to a street lamp as a novlties enter kit would match this theme really well in my opinion (I'm in love with the inspiration behind this set as well as how it looks now btw). Question tho, is it intentional that the novelties are done in pixel art style?

Glad you like it! to answer your question, no it was not intentionally done that way. I sort of just screencapped keys from KLE and drew on them. I intend to update them to be like actual images as no other parts of the set have pixel themes to them.
Also I like your idea and will definitely mock something up to add to the kit. I intend to make quite a few and have them narrowed down via a poll or something. Same with desk mats (which are very close to done. will probably update the thread in a week or two with the freshly drawn novelties and the mats and new polls.)
Your renders shows 2 pairs of F-J keys, but none of then have bumps. It's that intended? ( usually, one pair is with and the other without bumps )
The entire Sidewalks kit and all blanks in 40's|Ortho kit will be convex, right? GMK has convex tooling for all those sizes.
Hey man, I'm glad to see that this set is coming together. The updates you have put into it are looking promising, and thank you for putting UK ISO in the base kit. But I do have some more nitpicks to throw your way.
- The colours selected are all hex codes. It's probably in your best interest to take a look at GMKs' stock colours, RAL colours or at least Pantones and see how these colours translate. I'm pretty sure that GMK will turn away hex codes.
- The deskmat ideas aren't bad so far. But I do think a more minimal design is not only better suited to this set, but it would be more popular design language over something a bit more complex (I might be bias to this ;D).
Hey there, not sure if this has been mentioned before, but consider dropping the R1 1u mod-colored \|, it isn't really necessary (the alpha-colored one is sufficient). Furthermore, you could also drop the numpad 00 key, since you don't see it used very often nowadays (except as an Alice B replacement, but you already have that covered).
Also, please consider adding R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn for us 65% and 75% users. I think HHKB users would also appreciate the addition of a R3 1.75u Control key.
Some legend suggestions: use Control instead of Ctrl, System/Sys or Super instead of Win, and Fn instead of Menu. You can change Num↲Lock to Num, Scroll↲Lock to Scroll, and Caps↲Lock (stepped) to Caps if you want all of the legends in the set to be single-line; it might look cleaner this way.
Thank you for the feedback. These are some good ideas. I am going to keep the \| mod color as I personally love having that in mod color for that cradled alpha look. But I think you're right in that I could get away with dropping the 00 key.
I will absolutely take a look at adding R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn as I am a 75% lover myself. Not sure how I missed that.
as for the legends, the final renders are in queue with an artist right now and they will be cleaned up to have control, super, ect.
I apologize for the confusion that the current renders are causing everyone right now. The polished versions are in the works and there will be a big overhaul to this thread once they are done that I feel very proud about and think you guys will like a lot. Thank you for continuing to check in while we wait for that update. It means quite a bit to me.

Alright, great. Just to make sure we're on the same page, I was talking talking about the mod-colored R1 1u \|, not the R2 1.5u one. The latter should stay in the kit of course, but the R1 1u isn't needed because if you're using split Backspace and want a mod-colored cap in the top-right corner, you're going to use `~ (at least that's what most people do).Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/J45RnFg.png?1)
Is R3 1.75u Control also something you're going to add (Caps replacement for HHKB users)?
Suggestion for desk mat: A minimal black background with some concentric circles of different thickness in your color palette to indicate ripples from raindrops.
Thank you OP! Yeah, the KLE not showing that key threw me off a lot Haha.

Double checking to make sure I'm not just blind but this kit doesn't have a 1U spacebar in any of it's kits correct? Not a big deal since I can just use a novelty key in place of it either way. Excited for the GB and US vendor announcement.
Sorry, I spaced out and typed "spacebar" instead of "shift", didn't edit my comment on time :/ Assuming the same goes for that. Probably going to be the first keycap set I buy besides the one I got with my board in the first place though, great work on this.
Is it just me or did the colors completely change from the previous renders?
No Alpha colored pipe "|" key?

Good eye. I will work on getting that fixed.

Oh and Alpha colored Tilda (~) key as well
That's a very comprehensive base kit. Looks good. I hope the pricing is going to be reasonable. Speaking of which, any idea of when you might announce the GB dates and it?
No changes to novelties whatsoever?
There are no plans to change anything right now. I am happy and comfortable with how everything turned out at this time.

You probably have to change the novelties. If you like it or not.
Like I said in an earlier comment: The lines on them are way too fine.
You have to keep in mind that for doubleshot keycaps every legend and symbol has to be CNC machined for the mold.
GMK has a minimum line width that they can machine and iirc that is around 0.8mm.
And from what I can tell the powerlines on those novelties are much much smaller than that.
god damn it, i'm already in 8 cap GBs, why are you doing this to me?!?!?!?!
yea.. i'll buy it. no rama or salvun caps?

I am partnering with KeebWerk through CandyKeys for artisans. As soon as I get renders I will be sharing with everyone. Also still working on getting formal product info for the artisan cables that I am anxious to show you guys. All coming very soon.
I believe I misread ... is there going to be a 40s/ortho kit?

Does anyone know what the TKL WKL keyboard is in the first renders?There's literally nothing on top, so might be WKL 8X

Hello! I absolutely love this set. I've been a lurker for like 2 years now. Just finally made a geekhack account, as the components for my first build are on the way to me now. I'm excited! But, I built it around this set thinking it was going live today. When can we expect it to go live? I know I won't see the caps in hand for a long time, and I've got some temporary ones until then. I just want to order it ASAP so that weight is off my chest, haha. I'm super excited regardless!

Very glad to hear you like it! Means a lot to me that you want this so bad. I haven't gotten an official date from my vendors yet but we discussed the second week of September as our goal and that has not changed. CandyKeys will be getting back to me next week and we will be able to show off the cables and artisans then. I will post an update on this thread as soon as we got those product details and there will be another update on this thread and my Discord when the exact GB date is announced. I apologize if the anticipation is a lot, (trust me it's a lot for me too haha) but it's just around the corner and I am very excited to get this out to you guys.
I want to thank everyone else again for following this project and supporting my design. You all have had so many positive and constructive things to say and I feel very lucky to have this opportunity and experience.
are the kits final?
mainly concerned about:
- second b
- "Scroll Lock" vs "Scroll"

If they are final, but the runner still wants to include second B, the R3 1u \| key can be changed to R4 1u B without losing anything and without affecting quotes or pricing, it just will need to be communicated to GMK. See here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104194.msg2949109#msg2949109) and here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104469.msg2915267#msg2915267).
As for Scroll↲Lock vs Scroll, this set does it the “OG way”, with two-line legends for Scroll Lock, Num Lock and stepped Caps Lock. I agree with you that it would look cleaner with single-line legends, though, so if the runner wants to, they can change R4 1u Scroll↲Lock, Num↲Lock and stepped R3 1.75u Caps↲Lock (both with and without the LED window) to Scroll, Num and Caps, respectively. Again, this just needs to be communicated to GMK when confirming the final kits for production.
i never said that I wanted single line scroll lock/num lock
are the kits final?
mainly concerned about:
- second b
- "Scroll Lock" vs "Scroll"
currently getting new renders that will include second B in the spacebars kit, F13 in the base kit, changing 'scroll lock' to just 'scroll' in the base kit, and changing 'caps lock' to just 'caps' for the stepped versions only.

And Num Lock?
As for the changes being made, agian, F13 and a second B will be added. We are also making the single line legends for numlock, stepped caps lock, scroll lock, ect. Thank you for this feedback as I think this is a great change that will fit the set very well.

Any good news yet?!
This set is so clean and pretty. I really love the hangul kit, but kind of sad that I have to pick up the base kit also, resulting in a waste of latin alphas. Is there any chance that we could get a hangul base kit, similar to GMK Yuru? I understand that its already close to GB date and it will be hard to implement, but I think some others would appreciate it also.
Alternatively, anyone got ideas on how to utilise an extra set of alphas?
I agree with you. Having another base kit for hangul would have been ideal but it was sort of a tough decision that I didn't have a whole lot of experience making. On one hand, yes, it's a waste of alphas having to get the base kit and a hangul kit which results in spending more money for less efficiency. On the other hand, a hangul base kit would still have been more expensive than a regular base kit and I was worried that, because this is my first set, getting MOQ on both of those Base Kits would have been very difficult, possibly resulting in a hangul base kit not getting made which would be a disservice since one of my goals for this set was to serve a clean, themed set to those who want hangul. In the future, once I have a better grasp on what interest translates to in terms of MOQ and what vendors are willing to purchase on top of that, I would definitely like to find ways to get niche language kits to the community in a more efficient and cost effective way.
Still no pricing?
