Hey everyone!
I'm happy to present you GMK Hanami Dango. Hanami Dango is a japanese sweet very popular in spring during the cherry blossom viewing (Hanami 花見, "flower viewing"). It's also known as Sanshoku Dango (three coloured Dango) because of the iconic pink white and green! It's made out of sweet mochi rice dumplings on a skewer. Pink is often flavored with sakura, green with matcha and white is just sweet rice. The set is based on the flower viewing tradition of eating hanami dango and dreaking matcha tea.

Awesome theme & design OP, I really dig this! The one issue I see is like HoodrowThrillson said GMK doesn't do novelty spacebars. I believe they have the capability to pad print spacebars, but have never heard of them doing it. Although TBH, I think the set would be just fine without the novelty bars anyways.

I wonder if JTK could do novelty spacebars? They did those Geekhack double shot spacebars in the past....

Cute, and I appreciate the fact that even though you have a Japanese-themed set, you didn't just slap on sublegends. I'm a sucker for green so this is definitely at least on the radar for now.

Title: Re: [IC] GMK Hanami Dango
Post by: danieljgrouse on Mon, 27 July 2020, 14:06:05
I really like this, though I feel this is a set that would work better in PBT? Which would also help with the spacebar novelty issues. Though GMK does indeed do pad printed spacebars. We need to see spacebar novelties more often.

Very nice set, just 2 small gripes i have, the accents in the base kit have white font ? Don't know if that's intentional and for the spacebars can we have pink ones instead of mod colored green ones, it hurts my brain,but its kinda a trend lately don't know if its only me who dislikes it.

It's not supposed to be white, but cream maybe it's my fault xD

And I'll try for the spacebars!

I agree! I would love to see a set that supports JIS that doesn't have kana sublegends, as the very few sets that do come with JIS support (SimpleJA, /dev/tty's Nihon kit) usually include sublegends.

...A man can dream!  For now, I'm just grateful to have the keys included in the hiragana kit that makes it possible to use the set at all.

This set has correct kana support in the Hiragana Mono kit; props for that.

I see a few potential improvements for the base kit:
  • Add R3 Pg Up, R4 Pg Dn keys for 65%/75% layouts.
  • Remove numpad sublegends for a cleaner look.
  • Change Win legends to Super or System (Sys for 1u); most people don't like Win keys.
  • Change Prt Sc to Print for consistency with other legends.
  • All of the legends should be \| (| instead of ¦).
  • Currently the ISO support is inconsistent. Fix it by either:
    • adding the three keys that are missing for full ISO-UK support: R1 , 2", (example (https://i.imgur.com/plq30ZF.jpg)); or
    • removing R3 '@ and changing R3 #~\| and R4 \|<> for more neutral ISO support that uses less keys (example (https://i.imgur.com/QX11UTO.jpg)).
    I would recommend doing the latter for reasons outlined here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90706.msg2894820#msg2894820).
  • If you want, change /, * legends on the numpad to ÷, ×.

Spacebars kit:
  • In general, I would suggest using the alpha white instead of the accent red as the main spacebar color. Only have 6.25u, 7u and one of each 2.25u and 2.75u in the accent red color (example (https://i.imgur.com/kEQPpmI.jpg)).
  • 2.5u spacebar size doesn't exist. The two 2.5u spacebars should be 2.75u. In which case the existing red 2.75u should either be changed to 3u (if you want to include that) or removed from the kit.
  • Either change the second 1u space to white, or remove both the second 1u and second 1.25u. Two 1u spacekeys of the same color aren't useful if the set doesn't have ortho support.

Edit: added explanations

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IMMA DO THAT NOW

Ah i'm an idiot, I forgot to look at what row that novelty was suppose to be for and I thought it was a enter novelty, in that case I think it looks great and wish you good luck on this IC  :thumb:

Abit late to the party but is it possible to get different r4 novelties rather than the same novelty in different sizes

The last version included sakura r4 novelties but I changed my mind. I don't think I'll change novelties now but it can always happen.

A Hiragana base kit unfortunately won't happen :( but maybe a mod kit? It makes sense with katakana because it's used for english words but it's harder with hiragana

I agree; if you were going to do a "Japanese" mod kit for hiragana I would just do "normal" Japanese -- i.e. kanji for words that use kanji, katakana for words that use katakana, etc. -- rather than trying to stick to one character set or the other.

I'll post the high res ones! And I don't want to run multiple that looks kinda the same if you know what I mean. Maybe 2 of them but it's a very low probability

Loving the colors and theme.
I just feel it's a shame you have to get the Hiraganas separately, especially for a Japanese oriented set.
I feel if you run a 60/65% and want Hiraganas + Novelties that 90% of the keys of the base set will be unused.

It would have been really nice to be able to choose a Alpha or Hiragana base set.

Maybe I worded it wrongly.

I like having the hiragana and alpha separately but I would have liked to be able to buy the base kit with either the Alphas or the Hiraganas.

Right now if I want to use the Hiraganas and the novelties, I have to buy the base kit and if you use a 60/65% , that would mean that like 90% of the base set would be unused.
It just feels a bit of a waste and also very expensive per key.

I am not sure if it's still feasible, but I'm sure many people would have appreciated being able to choose either an Alpha or a Hiragana base set.

Loving the colors and theme.
I just feel it's a shame you have to get the Hiraganas separately, especially for a Japanese oriented set.
I feel if you run a 60/65% and want Hiraganas + Novelties that 90% of the keys of the base set will be unused.

It would have been really nice to be able to choose a Alpha or Hiragana base set.

Actually when I started the project it was hiragana + alpha but I really like the clean look of it when it's separated

Maybe I worded it wrongly.

I like having the hiragana and alpha separately but I would have liked to be able to buy the base kit with either the Alphas or the Hiraganas.

Right now if I want to use the Hiraganas and the novelties, I have to buy the base kit and if you use a 60/65% , that would mean that like 90% of the base set would be unused.
It just feels a bit of a waste and also very expensive per key.

I am not sure if it's still feasible, but I'm sure many people would have appreciated being able to choose either an Alpha or a Hiragana base set.

Buying both the base and the hiragana kits should give you enough to cover 2 boards since he added an extra tab in the hiragana kit

I guess, but not everybody has another board available. Personally I also wouldn't run 2 similar sets.

I just feel it's a missed opportunity, since I would assume a good amount of people would prefer the Hiraganas due to the nature of the Japanese inspiration; so having the option of a base Hiragana or a Base Alpha would have been really nice.

But oh well, too late :(

It's unclear in the renders (or maybe I'm just dumb), the homing keys are barred or scooped, not barred or nonhoming, right?

does this also remind anyone of the anime Clannad?
I remember watching Clannad on youtube on an iPod touch. That was some time ago, but I still remember the dango song...

Why are there R1, R2, and R4  'End' keys but only an R1 'Home' key?

To cover popular 65, 75% layout keyboard. Also, you'll notice that home key is always used at R4, so 1 key is enough

On something like a 65% I might not want my home key to be up at R4, though. Or would I use all R4 keys for pgup/pgdn/home/end?

Oh f**k me I was looking at some keycap presentations on Aliexpress and completely messed up the row. Home key is R1, my mistake, but still you only see home key as R1 on other layouts, so that's why there is only 1 R1 home keys. The R1 PgDn is used for 96 layout, like Melody96 or gk96
