+1 split space support with extra B key(s). Could do one spacebar kit so people can choose alpha colored or accent colored splitbars!

P.S I like this more than Bushido for some reason.
Post by: santela on Wed, 08 July 2020, 09:24:05
Is it possible to have Japanese on modifiers too?
This. I don't know why there isn't more of Japanese modifiers. At least they could be offered as additional sets, but very few designers do this. I personally think it ties in the whole look.
Also would love to see some novelties on this while keeping the simplistic and elegant look. Either way I'm gonna be in at least for the dark set, but possibly the light set as well. Can't wait for the GB!
Post by: pfcmickey on Wed, 08 July 2020, 09:29:59
Just a couple of suggestions: how about text mods in japanese? Kuro/Shiro did it and it looks beautiful. Also, a separate kit with haragana only alphas would probably sell well
Post by: dallman5 on Wed, 08 July 2020, 10:01:44
+1 for keeping the core kits as they are (wrt to legend choices) :thumb:

I feel like it's a bit silly to have Japanese mods when the alphas have the Latin characters as the main symbol.

What biip said, Alice support is a big reason why the second 2.25u Shift should be included (also 660 support, to a lesser extent). In a small kit like this, you can't really be picky when it comes to legends. I would personally love to see R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn, but I know it probably isn't going to happen ;)
Biip, considered using a R3 1.75u ∧ icon Control key instead of the text one. Imo, a text “Control” key in the middle of icon mods looks weird since it interferes with the clean aesthetic of the icon-only mods. Compare:

I love the set and would 100% be down for both black and white on the first day of the GB BUT...:
There's some mission ISO support, speicifcally UK ISO.
I'm not really that bothered about 2", 3£, or '@ but an r4 NUBS key and r3 NUHS key would be a pretty straight forward addition and make it work.

The kit includes basic ISO support in the form of R3 \|ヘ and R4 <>. Molds with UK legends and katakana sublegends don't exist; they would need to be created, increasing the cost of the kit. Also, the current keys offer better coverage for more ISO users than the suggested R3 #~, R4 \| setup.

To me, icon mods is better with only Latin alpha, because of the minimal it comes.
With Hiragana/Katakana alpha, text mods make the board filled with text and make it just right, neither redundant nor missing.
Edit: Katakana/Hiragana.
Post by: iamtienng on Wed, 05 August 2020, 18:13:13
It's even better if the mods is text instead of icon.And above all, can you please please please please add 2 x 1.5u Super and 2 x 1u Alt to the kit to fill out HHKB layout?

I agree, and tha'ts why I find the Kuro/Shiro set especially appealing, it's the only set I know of that has full japanese mod, pulls the whole look together. But I don't think that is gonna happen with GMK as I don't think there's mold for it.

Is it just me or does anyone think that is set will play nicely with GMK Space Cadet II, especially with the all blue base set?

Careful, the grey is darker :thumb:

The renders make the light kit appear leaning towards beige or at least a warmer white than WS1 appears in the photo below:

WS1 is the brightest/pure white in GMK's stock color palette, correct?
The renders make the light kit appear leaning towards beige or at least a warmer white than WS1 appears in the photo below:Show Image(https://matrixzj.github.io/assets/images/gmk-keycaps/gmk-colors-01.jpg)
WS1 and WS2 are both close to pure white. However, there is no one single pure white when you're working with physical materials and subtractive color in the real world. These two whites differ in their temperature (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature), with WS1 being warmer and WS2 being cooler.

Also note how the two differ between these photos. To get a better idea of what these colors look like irl, I suggest taking a look at photos of GMK Minimal and GMK Monochrome.

We need to a vendor to setup a subscription where you pay monthly and just get all of biips amazing keysets.
Definitely another gb that I will be joining.
Should just call it Netbiip - I heard subscription service companies are all the rage now. I'll be waiting patiently for the IPO.

I say this because:
• Historically, average Numpad take rate for GMK sets has been 21% of TKL Base kits.
• With Base kit extras, 11% Numpad take rate for Bushido would have been enough.
• Without Base kit extras, 17% would have been enough.
• Arguably, offering Numpad kits will increase total sales.
Past Numpad take rates:

It’s not about making others happy, doing more sales...
It’s about doing a product he enjoy imho.
Stats are kinda irrelevant here, if he finds the set better this way, let’s respect that.
Not every set should have X compat :thumb:

Please consider adding Numpad kits. Assuming Honor's Base kit sales are similar to Bushido's and Numpad MOQ is 150, the Numpad kits will certainly meet MOQ.

Currenlty discussing with the vendors about it.
Initially I wanted to offer an affordable set so I can't promise anything.

Im under the assumption that the argument isn't to make it a full size basekit
It's to add a seperate numpad kit, which shouldnt raise the price by a lot if at all

I'm suggesting to add stand-alone Numad kits. Would that increase the cost of the other kits if they stay as they are now?

Additional kits won't increase the base kit price but since we have 2 color schemes I'd have to add 2 numpad kits.
So I don't think I'll do that.

Are the sublegends on the four upper-right keys rotated on purpose? Just asking because I'm used to having 「 and 」on the bracket keys and む with the pipe/backslash
the layout is based on this (https://i.imgur.com/fxftW.jpg).

Gotcha. Thank you for clarifying! I only occasionally have to force myself to type using the sublegends, so I'm not too familiar with other layouts.
