[IC] PBT R&R Update 5/7 (New Kits & Renders)
« on: Sat, 14 March 2020, 21:23:43 »




Hey everyone!
I'm happy to bring you a new keyset I have been working on for the last few months called R&R!
The inspiration/theme for this keyset are the characters Rem & Ram from Re:Zero.
Just as they are characterized as complimenting opposites, so too is each side of the keyset.
I realize this is pretty out there compared to the normal approach, but I rather like this and it's something different for a change!

Disclaimer: I am aware of the GMK Oni set that went live today.
I want to make it clear that while both keysets share a very similar theme, they're very different in appearance and in no way should impact each other.
I hope that both of our sets have great success!


Special Thanks

To be fair a keyset isnt made over night or in 4 days, it does take time and work as well as the renders he even acknowledged gmk oni in his IC. He has had this worked for awhile and it is two vastly different sets.

Ren has been working on this set for months; I don't know how long Bapo has been working on Oni, he only asked me for kitting advice last week and we didn't discuss the theme.  They've both been working in a vacuum on their respective ideas.

Given that you designed Blush, I'd assume that you understand that it takes far longer than 4 days to design, refine, render, and execute a keyset IC.

I'm a bit torn on the forced white accent 6.25 & 7u spacebars, but with it being split across the middle, I can understand the decision and otherwise love it!

And no double subs :-* Thank you Rens

I'm almost not even mad that this the fifth hiragana set in a week.

I have a few remarks about the kits:

Show Image

  • There seems to be a duplicate blue 1.5u \| key.
  • I believe the additional R4 1u Ctrl (last row) should be Alt instead, for Mac & true HHKB support.
  • ISO support is iffy. With this setup, there would be no む sublegend on a standard ISO layout. Instead of the current keys, I suggest using R3 \|む and either R4 <> with no sublegend or another R4 \|む (like how Serika did it).
  • The dakuten and handakuten sublegends are showing べ and ぺ, respectively. Those keys wouldn't actually produce those kana, but rather apply the diacritics to the following typed kana. Therefore, the sublegends would make more sense as just the diacritics themselves: ゛ and ゜.
  • I feel the extra B's would work better as part of the spacebars kit. I think that most people who want proper support for their ergo boards will end up buying the spacebars kit anyway.

what a bizarre coincidence that two sets around the same anime come out around the same time. clearly a coincidence given how long these ICs take to put together, but how oddly specific. so many blue sets too and i think PBT might be the thing that makes this stand out compared to the rest of the field. gl with ic

Ooh! Well, I’m in. My kids would love this set. And my guilty pleasure on Alice layout is one set on left, another set I love on the right. So both sets get love. I have more Keysets than keyboards, so this leaves less in the closet.

Since the keyset is kind of oriented to split-style keyboards, would you consider making the numpad as an individual kit?
Then you could make split colors on the numpad as well :thumb:

Also, I'm not found of how five side sublimation pbt look like, I vote for gmk.

I feel those two can co-exist together, market/community will decide which one they prefer (just like at the moment with GMK Lunar / Apollo / Ashes). PS: Don't act like this please, you will have a much better life if you learn to be less aggressive. I promise :) good luck!

People can be mean, childish and immature. Just ignore them if possible, as a designer, you should develop a thicker skin.  :thumb:

This shouldn't require 5 side, you can get the keys in that color and dye the legends onto them, 5 side is only necessary when the legends are LIGHTER than the rest of the cap.

I vote PBT for sure.
I can make acrylic laser cut cases/plates PM for info

I honestly really like this set. Although it does look very close to Oni, there are a few differences, and I find this set to be a bit cleaner. Def going to keep an eye out on this kit.

I love the maid outfit pattern spacebars. I missed the inclusion of any black/white theme in GMK Oni, so I'm loving this. That, plus the fact that this features Rem and Ram in the same kit have really sold me on it. Looking forward to GB!

P.S. Will the Rem bow novelties need to be doubleshot or reverse dye sublimated to get the pink legends on blue keycaps? (If PBT, KAT maybe?) Also, I like PBT, but I really hate warped keys. Plus ABS would probably have better colors.

I wouldn't mind if PBT / ABS, ABS will probably be more colourful, so i'd go with ABS.

If PBT wins, which it looks like it might then we will be using a new PBT place that will not have warping issues like ePBT.

Yes, I'll be adding it in after I update all of the kits. If or when this makes the switch to PBT I'll be re modeling all kits to allow for more compatability for more users!

Update #1: PBT is the winner! 3/24

So the voting has ended in a landslide in favor of PBT! The PBT manu for this set will be a new one and not ePBT. The goal of this place will be to eliminate warping and possible legend issues. I will be updating the kits a bit to reflect the change to PBT.

Also, I have seen the expressed interest to be KAT instead of cherry PBT. I'm pretty sure this will stay cherry PBT but it's not impossible this could be KAT, but with how many KAT sets are waiting to deliver still I would prefer to keep it cherry!

rensuya how would you see the possible use of KAM? This set with this profile might be interesting as there are few KAM sets
