The prototype pictures look beautiful- I'm in love with the novelties. Also thank you for the latin-only alphas kit, will definitely be grabbing a set

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but, do you have any plans on having a full hiragana alphas?

The color scheme is probably not for me, but this is the first time I've seen a prototype instead of just renders (granted I have not been into this hobby for too long). Great job!

Yes! I'm glad more vendors and manufacturers are getting quicker turnaround to make prototypes before GB a possibility. It makes it all easier on the buyers when they can see the colors and the designer to ensure that the product matches their idea

. Thank you.

Will you be trying to correct the mods color? Looks too dark imo.

I love this so much!! Definitely grabbing the entire kit. And it's a good thing the GB is in October. Gonna be broke this month buying 65% keyboards

konstantin · « **Reply #64 on:** Mon, 06 July 2020, 06:52:51 »

Seems sort of odd to keep PrtSc, Scroll, Pause as text when all of the other mods are icons, doesn't it? Perhaps you could do something similar to KAT Hyperfuse for those icons?

Have you looked into making the Backspace and Enter arrows a tad smaller/narrower? At the moment, I find them to be overwhelmingly large compared to the other icons. I think a small change here would go a long way.

I think the trash can Delete icon looks a bit out of place next to the fairly abstract, less detailed icons on the other mads. Have you considered using a short, right-facing arrow similar to the Backspace one for Delete? Something like ⭢ or ▸.

Since the Super and Alt icons are quite abstract, perhaps there's no need to include the 1u ▲, 1.5u ▼ variation? Since practically either icon can stand for either key.

The R3 '@ UK key in the add-on kit needs to have a け sublegend rather than ふ because it's replacing the '"け key.

Speaking of sublegends, consider changing the R1 1u \|ー key in base to \|む, and adding a R1 1u `~ー key. This way, both JIS and regular ANSI split Backspace layouts will be covered (currently only JIS is covered).

Please consider including a 1.75u Fn key (with either ≡ or the “layers” icon) in the add-on kit.

On the fence. It doesn't quite match the pantone chip I have but it is nice blue that I like. If i can get a proto that matches the pantone I'll make a decision/likely put a poll. I don't want to change the colors if I can't see if they can match it perfectly, if that makes sense. I think there is time but I'll have to talk to TKC and Infinikey on if they can quickly produce a key or a set of keys in that color.

Thanks for the info. I'm actually updating the insert/delete cluster legends as well as adding icon symbols to print/scroll/pause right now. I'll also shorten the backspace and enter as it's been brought up a few times.

Regarding sublegends I saw your guide to Katakana GMK sublegends one but I don't believe there is one for Hiragana? So to confirm:
- Switch out the R1 1u \|ー entirely for \|む?
- Add ~ー - I assume this key wil supplment the missing 1u "ー" key that taking the \|ー out would lead to?
- I can ask to add a 1.75u ≡ or layers icon for sure

.

Thanks for the feeback! I'll post updated legends and hopefully one of the deskmat designs 👀 this week

Great

Also make them a bit thinner and/or make the arrowheads smaller, that will help too.

Here is the hiragana one:

(KLE link)

Since your set doesn't use quaternary (top-right) sublegends, you can ignore those.
To answer your questions: Yes, replace R1 1u \|ー with R1 1u \|む entirely. Then add R1 1u `~ー (the light yellow key in the guide). As you said, this will supplant the missing ー key and allow for better JIS coverage.

Based on recent Infinikey GBs and what TKC projects, it looks like around 5 months - take into account Lunar/Chinese New Year is in Feb 2021 so that will cause a bit of a delay as well. So a projected eta of March or so.

Hey, checking up on the hiragana legends again

I see that you updated the \|ー key to \|む and added `~ー, which is great. However, this `~ー key actually needs to be alpha-colored. So here's what you can do:

In base: change the `~ー legend to `~ろ (keep it mod-colored).
In add-on: change the `¬ろ legend to `¬ー (keep it alpha-colored).

Doing this will ensure that coverage for both ANSI and JIS, as well as ISO-UK, is correct.

Additionally, I still think that there's no need to include both 1u ▲, 1.5u ▼ and 1u ▼, 1.5u ▲ variations since those icons look so generic. Also, the second 1u ● (Ctrl) can be moved from base to add-on since it's only used on 40s boards.

Everything looks correct

One tiny detail: the ー sublegend on the `¬ー key should be vertically centered compared to ふ, あ. The pic is tiny, but it currently seems to be top-aligned.

There's no latin kit, explanation on the first post:

After much discussion with friends and fellow designers, looking at poll numbers, and considering my original vision, there won't be a latin kit option for this GB. For those of you curious I consistently got only around 30 folks confirming they want a Latin alpha kit across multiple polls that ranged between 85 to 155 responses. I understand this will disappoint folks and you those of you whose decision to get this set is based on the availability of a Latin alphas kit may no longer want to join. Nevertheless, thank you for your interest and support! Perhaps if this GB does well and the demand for a KAT version is there we can offer a Latin alpha kit next time!
