SHARK BAIT OOH HA HA
Looks like a GMK version of Dasher&Dancer.
You should add red keys for blood, real shark bait

I played around with some red/pinkish colors. Couldn't quite get something that I liked. I'll play around some more and see what I can come up with.
When I opened this thread I did not expect to see a key set I liked as much I like this. I can't promise I'd buy it, but damnit I want it.
Something I am definitely willing to throw my money at! I am really digging it
Love it. Let's see some shark novelties. Rama shark tooth cap. Go big.That’s the idea! I’m working on some shark teeth and shark fin novelties.
In!Awesome!
I like the esc/Enter being white, it looks really nice!I played around with more keys being white but kept it simple in the end and stuck with those two :D. Thanks!
UK ISO? The colour scheme is quite nice.I’m working out the kits as we speak! I’m hoping to include compatibility for as many people as possible, but I want to keep prices down too. No promises but I will definitely include a UK ISO kit if there’s enough interest.
In. I like the colors, please keep the white accents and dont make them red as some asked.Thanks for the feedback!
I am intrigued. I like the colors.Awesome!

Thanks for pointing this out, definitely. I considered making UK ISO support a separate kit but ultimately decided to try to include it on the base kit. I’m not too familiar with other layouts, so I struggled a bit with this. I’ll definitely adjust them and post an update! Thanks!UK ISO?

If you'll allow me...
ISO support right now is incomplete and needs revision. You have:
- No left R4 1.25U left Shift key (this is required).
- One accented ISO Enter key... yet there are mod-colored and accent-colored ANSI Enter keys. This is your call, obviously, but I'd put both ISO Enter keys, or at least the mod-colored one before the accented one.
- R3 \| key (needed for US ISO) and R3 #~ keys (needed for UK ISO).
- No R4 \| key (needed on both US ISO and UK ISO).
You must decide whether you'll have support for either US ISO (4 keys — ISO Enter, left Shift, R3 \| and R4 \|) or UK ISO (8 keys — ISO Enter, left Shift, R1 `¬, R1 2", R1 3£, R3 '@, R3 #~ and R4 \|). You could even have support for both at the same time (that would imply nine keys), but that's not really expected.
As you can see, the alpha support present right now means that the kit has incomplete "Atlantis ISO" support (being neither on one side of the pond or the other one), which is the worst option.
HTH!
One other thing, also entirely subjective: I dig the medium blue / light blue scheme, but I find the white keycaps are a bit too bright (on the legends it's perfect though). If I had the set on my keyboard right now, I'd probably use the Blue Esc and Enter keys instead of the white ones... but that leaves the white-only F5..F8 keys as too glaring of an exception. You may want to consider adding a light-blue set of the keys F5..F8.Noted! I’ll be sure to include those keys for the people that want them.
Any chance for vim keys in one of the kits?Possibly, if enough people want it. I’d like to keep the set as cheap as possible but I’ll compromise if people want certain keys.
White f-row is interesting.Interesting as in you like it, or don’t like it? I’ll include some of the darker teal keys, same as the mods, to replace those if people wish to use them instead.
Can’t wait to see the novelties. Blues are just my favorite and sharks are my favorite animal lol. Can’t wait to see this set continue.I’m working on novelties but I wasn’t too happy with them. Trying to find someone I can commission for the novelties :D

wish to see more novelties.Yep! Trying to find someone I can commission for the novelties, but I definitely plan on including some.

Personally I'm not a fan. I really like the white on the ESC and Enter keys because the contrast is so stark it draws your eyes to that part of the board. It just seems weird having this big contrast at the top row that brings attention to the middle F keys. I think F5-F8 keys should match the alphas. That way you still get the break up in color between the F-key blocks, but it's not so stark and attention grabbing.
That said, what I do think could look really nice is a white spacebar. I don't know how much it would drive the cost of the base kit up, but maybe consider adding a second 6.25u spacebar in white?
Love this! Loved sharks weeks
Love the novelties. They seem just the right level of unique for this set.
>Name of the set is "SHARK BAIT"
>No RED accent keys to imitate "blood in the water"
Come on, OP! Put it in the novelty kit or something. Commit to the bloody theme.Show Image(https://messagesto.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/electroreception-1a.jpg)
Are all novelties meant to be in R4?
Is this TU1 and TU2 or is it custom?

Yep. TU1, TU2, and WS1.

I just forgot to label them The top two are R1, bottom row of novelties is R4.
Also, I think the Aero accents would look cool. I love the set man :thumb:

Okay, but... wouldn't then the second novelty on the top row need to be white fin on mod-colored keycap instead of on alpha-colored keycap?
(no, I'm never happy about anything :thumb: )
I'm in. Might be the one for my build
SHARK BAIT OOH HA HATHE RING OF FIRE
Could definitely see myself rocking this set.
TBH, I didn't think red could be worked into the set. Glad to see I Was wrong!
Having split spaces in two separate kits a bold choice (may I ask why the 1.0U blanks are only in the 40s and split kit, and will they be convex or concave?).
The novelties look great!
Ooh, Vim keys! That likely made this a purchase for me.
Really like the color scheme so far.
Modifiers feel a bit inconsistent to me, with CapsLock having no icon at all and backspace having a very small icon compared to the others. Have you considered going with text-only mods?

Thanks! I understand where you’re coming from but plenty of sets do it this way. GMK Nautilus, Jamon, Olive, Striker, etc. Personally, I like icons + text the most on mods.
Small updates: vendors announced and a bit more :)

Any estimate of when this set might run?
Don’t pay attention to whoever said this is a copy of dasher dancer. Literally didn’t cross my mind st all and I’m familiar with that set. The only similarity is alphas are a lighter shade of the same color as mods. But dasher dancer looks like mega man. This is not mega man. Unless maybe mega man has equipped aqua man’s weapon after beating him. Anyway it’s dope. It’s original. Piss off other guy.
Added the group buy date!

Look forward to parting off my money. ;D
MOQ 250/100/100?
Perfect keys for me... ;)Soon! ;)
Have you considered white legends on the mods?I did, but ultimately decided to go with the teal legends as I thought they looked nicer, at least in my opinion
Looking forward to this one, any pricing info coming soon?

Group buy is here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=103214)
Still doesn't seem live...
Looking forward to the set!Same here, can’t wait to get one!
It is now 3 PM EST on Nov 2nd and the GB still isn't available in the US. I'm not mad, but I feel like Kono is really droppin the ball here...Yeah, sorry about that, I believe they’re working on it. You can sign up for an email notification on their site or I can message you when it goes live, if you’d like
if one just explained the circumstances, and didn't say the vendor, and there was a poll on geekhack, 80%+ would guess rightI believe it’s being worked on, sorry about that. I can message you when it goes live, or you can sign up for an email notification on their site
Message me, and I’ll buy and go upvote the reddit post.
Timing and marketing are key this month and I like this set a lot
