Interesting Keyset, I would love to see that green colour in some accent pieces of the Keyset itself.
Besides that, I would highly recommend going with epbt. Creating new molds with that specific font of the Hirangana sublegends is going to cost a penny or two. Dye-Sub or anything else that's not relying on doubleshot would be a more economic move.
I don't get why only subs on the alphas and not on numrow and punctuation keys.
I'm confused. The name is "inukuma" but that's not what the katakana says. The katakana says inu-beaa, like you went Japanese for dog and then English-ized Japanese for bear.
Why not have イヌクマ?
Well, I’d usually expect to see the kana that match what you’ve put in romanji.I'm confused. The name is "inukuma" but that's not what the katakana says. The katakana says inu-beaa, like you went Japanese for dog and then English-ized Japanese for bear.

Well i was comtemplating either イヌクマ or イヌベアー, but ofcus i would take in any feedback if which you prefer! ;)

If you’re going to put イヌベア by itself, with no romanji, then that’s fine. But with the latin and kana combined, anyone who can read kana will be scratching their head :P
So I’d probably opt for calling it イヌクマ

Oh, no. Why did the mono color get replaced? I really like it :-[Show Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=108300.0;attach=250244;image)
EPBT hasn’t proven themselves adequately enough for reverse dye sublimation so I’d learn towards JTK.

In your hiragana legends, the top-right sublegend on the 0)わ key should be を, not わ. Also, this sublegend should be the same size as the わ sublegend below it, not small like ょ, ゅ, ゃ etc. Example (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/735179686186844202/746114733308117053/gmk_js_kit_01_base.jpg).
The -_ほ key is supposed to have a ー sublegend in the top right (this is a prolonged sound mark kana character, not a dash). See above example.
Your kit is missing R3 1u \|む, R4 1u <>ろ, R1 1u `~ー keys, which are required for ISO and JIS coverage.
The R1 1u \|む key should be alpha-colored. The R2 1.5u Backspace key should be mod-colored.
Hiragana sublegends reference (https://imgur.com/3YODxTM)
And yes, the cost of making new molds for the different sublegend font is definitely going to be too high.
Dude don't hide your "old renders"
they are better than the new ones tbh.
Hi, I think it's coming along great! I can't tell if you've removed the all navy (cream legends) sets, but that's my fave by far!
Aw, I liked the original Enter key legends.Agreed!
I really love this version ;o do you know if there will be a extra small set for iso? (not that there is alot to an iso set) Also i think you are missing a FN navy key.. i might be blind :o
Keep it up :)
Edit: The bottom left 3 keys on navy is different sizes? just wondering if its intentional

This set looks great! However, your kitting could use some more work. You actually have renders of keys that don't actually exist in your kitsShow Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=108300.0;attach=251709;image)
This is not a keycap combination you can make, as you do not have a full set of dark mods in your base kit.Show Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=108300.0;attach=250802;image)
You're missing the following dark keys:
- Print Screen? I see one in row 4 that looks like a row 1 cap, but that's very confusing if so
- Scroll
- Pause
- R1 2u backspace
- R1 Home? Same weird kit render issue as print screen possibly
- You have tab, but your render for this cap and others is confusing as it's shown as both text+icon and text only
- R2 Delete
- R2 End
- R2 Pg Dn
- You show 2x 1.25u control, alt, and code keys, none of which are in the kitting
If I could make some suggestions:
You chose for your renders an all-dark combination of mods and alphas, and an all-light combination of mods and alphas. Consider if the light mod, dark alpha pairing is still what you want the primary colorway of this set to be. Since it didn't even merit a board render, I suspect it may not.
Consider simplifying your kitting by just doing a dark base kit with a light alpha add-on. If there's enough interest and confidence it could hit MOQ, perhaps you could do a light base kit and a dark base kit, even.
Determine what mod style you want (text only, icon only, icon with text bottom row, text+icon) and make sure it's consistent across your kitting and board renders.
At the very least, add a spacebar kit or add Alice kitting (minimum of a second B key, 2.25u spacebar, and 2.75u spacebar) to the base kit.
Will this have the same hiragana font as in the renders or standard GMK hiragana molds?
Some (more) suggestions on kitting:
* would be nice to have a non-novelty enter key
* I find it odd that the non stepped caps lock is text and the stepped caps lock is icon, consistently text would be nice I think
* one of the three R4 1.5u controls can be removed
* one of the three R4 1u codes can be turned into a second R4 1u alt
* the R1 pg dn key is duplicated in the base and numpad kits and one can be removed
* removing all doubleshot keys from the spacebar kit should help the price a lot, most sets just put the Alice b in the base kit
* one of the three 2u spacebars can be removed
* two 3u spacebars could be added
Also you have physical ortho support with numpad which is awesome, if you wanted to add physical 40% support it'd just require three keys in base or the kind of numpad/extension kit you have going:
* R2 1.75u backspace
* R3 1.25u tab
* R3 1.5u enter
Also doesn't super matter but the numpad render has 1 - 3 reversed 😁

You're okay with people spending their money on unnecessary keys and bad kitting so you can rush to group buy? That's massively disappointing.
Even selfishly, with literally a dozen other GMK sets running in the month of February, it's likely in your best interest to improve your kitting.
GLWGB.
taking a look over at base again there’s a couple more very questionable things. Really don’t think this should be running as is.

Aside from the iso enter in the numpad kit and the lack of F13 and r3/R4 pg up/pg dn, what else is there? I'm curious what I missed. I agree with the sentiment though.

Ive seek helped for all around kitting. Im pretty sure i cant make everyone happy as it is, i did not rush into stuff when i posted the kit for months and getting feedbacks and working things out with my vendor. U can always pm me the issues discord to further discuss this. Instead of telling me that “i am okay with people buying bad kitting.”
There are quite a few basic kitting errors in the base kit, the lack of R3 pipe key for ISO in base for exemple, without a R3 ISO key, the ISO compatibility is totally useless. Also, putting an accent ISO enter key in numpad kit does not make any sense, this will increase the price of numpad kit, it is better to include this accent ISO enter directly in the base kit.i will apply this for future sets.

Many of my suggestions aren't preference-based, they're duplicate keys or missing keys. This isn't a case of "you must include what I want", it's "you're charging people for keys that literally nobody uses".
Somehow just discovered this now.For some annoying reason, maybe just tradition or something, none of these GB's kits include an alternate color space bar in the base kit. Every single one of them force me to buy the base, novelty, and space bar kit, and half the time, they have alternate alpha/modifier kit that is far superior then the base, and i have to buy that to..
These are the coolest Hiragana sub-legends I have ever seen !
But sadly a bit disappointed in the final kitting.
I really loved the picture with beige modifiers, beige F5-F8, beige arrows etc. It really had an awesome contrast.
This is still very tempting and the beige/navy works really well together, but having only 2 beige keys (3 if I can justify buying the space bars only for 1 key) is a bit of a letdown for me :(
Since the basekit offers beige and navy Esc and Enter, why not provide beige Spacebar also?

What I’ve seen from designers regarding questions like this is that the attempt, in general, is to keep the price of the base kit as low as possible while maintaining the maximum amount of compatibility. Every time somebody wants an extra B (which has become much more common) or a different colour option for the space, it nudges the price up.

It’s a hard job keeping everyone happy - even when you try really hard to offer something for everyone (I’m looking at you, lack of 1.25U enter in the 40% kit of Bento.. hehe)
What does Inukuma mean?
Does anyone know if the base color for this is black or a deep navy?
Awesome!! Going to snag a few kits now (https://media0.giphy.com/media/l0IyhLja7BXgLsPss/giphy.gif)Does anyone know if the base color for this is black or a deep navy?
Deep navy
Will this be produced with the standard GMK hiragana sublegends or with the custom ones seen in the renders? I don't seem to find a definitive answer in the entire thread.

You may want to post a brand new GB thread in the Group Buy section of the forum.
And you should definitely make a bigger deal about your new sublegends. That's probably the most important feature of this set.

No, it's a separate thread. Usually the content of your initial post will be very similar. The main difference is that Geekhack mods have to approve Group Buy threads before they go up, while Interest Check threads don't have to wait for that.
There are some bots that post to Discord servers and such any time a new thread comes up in that subforum, so posting a new thread should help a little with advertising. One thing I've seen suggested is that after you post, use the "report" functionality to report your own thread to the mods and let them know that it's awaiting their approval.
