Please fill out the feedback form: https://forms.gle/ebVuvMaDQv6Mad8Z9

Hey everyone, thanks for taking some time out of your day to look at my keyset; GMK Kouhai is a keycap set formerly known as mashu.

Color Palette:

Kits
Base kit
The base kit provides compatibility for 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, 1800, HHKB, and full-size boards, with support for Terminal ISO. Accent keys are included for those who want to bring a bit of flare to their board.

Katakana Kit
For those who prefer an alternative look for the alphas.

Spaces Kit
A spacebars kit for that sweet sweet Alice-layout compatibility.

Extensions Kit
Macros. Windowed. Sugoi.

~~Novelties~~
Regarding the recent concerns of IP from GMK, it would be the best move to cut the novelties out and play it safe. (Senpai novelty has been moved to the base kit).

Deskmat - Collaboration with Kuno.
Regarding the deskmat samples, the photos were taken when it was eyeball blasting sun+snow lighting, the colors are more saturated than depicted in the photos.

Sample:

Collabs
(Cables) Zeusworks - Cerakoted lemo and Aviator cables

(Artisans) Rama

(Artisans) Keypora
(Artisans) Deagcaps
(Artisans) Latrialum
(Artisans) Sodiecaps

Vendors/Pricing

-(US) TX Keyboards
-(Canada) Deskhero
-(Oceania) Daily Clack
-(Europe) mykeyboard.eu
-(Asia) Monokei

Renders
Renders by me:
F2-84

TGR Alice

Nemui

To please the angry man:

Thank you to the following:

To Kuno for being the best friend anyone can ever ask for and the amazing work on the deskmat.
To Eura for popping off on the novelties and being always willing to adapt and help out with all the steps on this process.
To NathanAlphaMan -- for honestly everything lol, you completely changed my view on rendering and taught me so much, You're a true friend man, ily.
To Tom/ttom -- for putting up with my pestering questions and always being a great guy to bounce ideas off of.
To Konstantin - for all the kitting help sessions, and being a great guy dealing with my dumb weeb legends questions.
To the rest of the vendors for picking up this project <3
To YOU for reading this!

Love to see a comparaison of some sort !

A spacebars kit for that sweet sweet Alice-layout compatibility.

Would it be possible to get the units of the spacebars?
I like the 2,75+2,25+1,25 split but I have a heck of a time seeing the difference between a 1,25 and a 1,5 in a render.

CookieFlow · « **Reply #46 on:** Wed, 16 December 2020, 13:39:30 »

Fantastic looking set.

I feel I am posting a similar thing on a lot of IC recently.

But please consider 2 base kits, having to purchase the Katakanas separately gets really expensive and also feels wasteful to leave all the regular Alphas in the box.

I feel that due to the origin of the set, that the amount of people prefering Katakanas would be very substantial.

Looking forward to seeing the Rama, it has huge potential to be so pretty.

CookieFlow · « **Reply #54 on:** Thu, 24 December 2020, 21:27:17 »

That rama is insanely gorgerous ! I thought it would have been a shield for sure.

Since there aren't 2 base sets, I hope the Katakanas will not be too expensive.

I agree, the RAMA artisan is sheer "get on my keeb NAOW" status.

Currently I don't have any more plans to go for another deskmat design. I think these current deskmats fit very well into the theme of the keyset, but I agree with you it doesnt fit in with the colors.

Regarding 40s, I would have to see way more demand for it. Going through the response form with a quick ctrl+f and searching "40s" I get 1 result of someone asking for it.

Hey everyone, I wanted to quickly bump the thread and just quickly make a statement; regarding the recent concerns of IP from GMK, it would be the best move to cut the novelties out and play it safe, I would rather get the set out vs no set at all. (Senpai novelty has been moved to base kit). As well as the "Weebs In" deskmat has also been removed.

Cheers.

With the current circumstances, it's totally understandable.
I still feel that over 50% of the novelties could have been run without issues, and adding a few others to complete the kit.

But if that is what it takes to run this set, I understand and I am still happy to be able to purchase it in this form.

ps: Why did the Mat have to go? GMK isn't involved with making the mats as far as I know.

I was advised by vendors to also not risk it regarding the mats as well. I am also sad that the "weebs in" deskmat is no longer available so I am working on designing a new mat to replace it. Please stay tuned for it.

Alright understood.
Looking forward to the new Mat.

I appreciate the "Senpai" key moved to the base kit.
It would be really awesome if 1 Enter Novelty could be moved (or I guess made, since the shield will not pass) into the base kit (like Inukuma has a novelty enter and a regular).
Or maybe a Rama Enter key? (Senpai, Castle, Abstract shield etc) That could be so pretty.

I forgot what the old mat looked like, can we have a post that shows the before and after so people can remember in case it's something deal breaking? I only now realized this was GMK Mashu after clicking on the Mashu flair and being redirected to Kouhai, and I'm still very interested, but it'd help me with my **** memory, lol.
