Title: [IC] GMK Zìmō「自摸」- Hibi Metal Artisan Reveal | GB 5/5 to 6/6 2022
Post by: HungHingDaiLo on Wed, 19 January 2022, 06:39:12

Why
I need this to fuel my gambling addiction
I want a monocolor set with Zhuyin sublegend. Accent and novelties' colors are inspired from Mahjong tiles.
All stock colors, so no colormatching needed (yay!). Colors used are photographed and listed below.

More

The deskmat matches more with cangjie sublegend, as Hongkonger mainly uses cangjie or quick input, which is basically a simplified version of cangjie. If you want the keep the deskmat design, I think a base kit with cangjie sublegend makes more sense, and you can add a alt alpha kit for zhuyin sublegend.

Also please don’t use Mandarin pinyin next to something that mentions Hong Kong. They don’t belong to be in the same place. Removing Zìmō from the deskmat would be a lot better.

Good luck with the IC, will be getting this set

Post by: dededecline on Wed, 19 January 2022, 09:17:17

Looks great! Excited for this.
Consider adding R2 1u accented Esc for 40s since there's no R2 novelties available and the accents are fairly important here (as well as making the r3 1.5u enter accent colored).
I'd also add r2 1u home to allow macro columns on 60%/TKL.

Looks great, but please expand the novelties more, seems like you can do a lot more variety in the novelties.

Also could do with tile numbers 1 to 9, a full set in the novelties, instead of just 1 and 9 (missing numbers 2-8 for novelty tiles).

Will strongly consider forcing 1.5u enter accent colored. Thanks for the great inputs!
As for R2 1u nov/accent and r2 1u home let me see what I can do about it without driving the target price up by much.

Sadly the deskmat won't be enough to cover even 75% information I initially wanted to lay out :(. Smaller and dense group of typefaces are not only illegible but I am most worried to bleeds since printed on cloth instead of paper.

Understand that you want a zhuyin base for yourself, but thematically, would really love a cangjie base kit.
Novelties are great, perhaps a 食糊 or 自摸 enter novelty would fit.

This set really really deserves to use the Chinese mods piloted by GMK Shanshui. It doesn't seem right that I can't make this a completely Chinese set.

Otherwise great and we are long overdue for a mahjong themed set.

This allows for the 65%/75% support to double as macro column keys with the addition of just one more key. Nice easy way to give support.

Love the desk mat!! Here are some suggestions from me personally:
I think the darker version desk mat could change to a neon light theme.
Could you possibly change the 万 on the bottom left corner to 萬, please?
Maybe you could change the font of those mahjong to the font on a real mahjong. I think that will look nicer.

The desk mat is stunning but I think the kit itself is a bit lacking compared to the desk mat...
Will you consider adding more novelties?

I recommend you not to use GMK due to the long waiting time.
You can consider using JTK or Domikey triple shot. In this way, you can add more characteristics to the set by using mahjong's colour for the font. (e.g. white base, blue main legend, red sub legend)

Title: Re: [IC] GMK Zìmō「自摸」
Post by: squiggles on Thu, 20 January 2022, 19:52:48

I would 100% second the suggestion to use another manufacturer. I love everything about the set but will sadly sit this one out if it's GMK.

It's absurd enough that Shanshui looks to be at least delayed into Q2 realistically and we won't see Houhai till sometime in 2023.

I think R2 Out would be a better candidate for that since it can also double as an Esc key for 40s.
R2 Home in and of itself sees vanishingly little use, and the macro column use case doesn't help that by much. At least with Out you get a bit of extra utility. :)

Dragons are refered as 三元 in Hong Kong mahjong. Or more likely, dragons and winds are as 番子 together
The deskmat needs a lot more work in the Chinese writing. The Chinese writing seems like a copy and paste from wiki, instead of from a Chinese speaker. Also, since you focus on Hong Kong mahjong, I think it would be a better fit if it uses Cantonese writing.

Deskmat revision v.1.0
- Minor tuning on texts, colors on both deskmats.
- Thanks to vheissu's help, all latin texts on the Mahjong Manuel have converted from English to Spanish. (*vheissu is designer of GMK Mictlán)

(https://i.imgur.com/Ba5kn4z.jpg)

Mahjong Manuel's colors are now matched to GMK Mictlán's color codes (including the correct Pantone colors).

A bit of an update I guess,

Monokei (SEA Proxy) is removed because of some circumstances (which I understand fully) that I have discussed with them.

Don't get this wrong, please. They are a GREAT vendor to work with and I still recommend you guys buy keyboards/keycaps from them if you reside in SEA region <3.

This also means I may not be including any proxy for SEA region during the Group buy (zF can cover orders from all across Asia), but I'm all ears if you're interested on being one.

A bit of an update I guess,

Monokei (SEA Proxy) is removed because of some circumstances (which I understand fully) that I have discussed with them.

Don't get this wrong, please. They are a GREAT vendor to work with and I still recommend you guys buy keyboards/keycaps from them if you reside in SEA region <3.

This also means I may not be including any proxy for SEA region during the Group buy (zF can cover orders from all across Asia), but I'm all ears if you're interested on being one.

oh no, I really like monokei as a vendor. Can you include another one from Singapore, say iLumKB or HexKeyboards? Would be greatly appreciated. The mahjong community here is large :)

Looks very sick, nice colors (and thx for using stock colors). I like the kitting and I dig the green relegendables, I think that is a very cool idea

The deskmat matches more with cangjie sublegend, as Hongkonger mainly uses cangjie or quick input, which is basically a simplified version of cangjie. If you want the keep the deskmat design, I think a base kit with cangjie sublegend makes more sense, and you can add a alt alpha kit for zhuyin sublegend.

Also please don’t use Mandarin pinyin next to something that mentions Hong Kong. They don’t belong to be in the same place. Removing Zìmō from the deskmat would be a lot better.

cannot agree more. Prefer the sublegend for Cangjie / Sucheng rather than zhuyin for hongkongers.

I like the new novelties a lot, but am disappointed that Cangjie is not being considered even for a child kit. GLWIC and future sale.  :thumb:

Great work on the set! I am a little sad that the cangjie won't be on the main kit and isn't being considered for the an alt kit either... But that's fine.

Any chance you would consider an Oceania vendor like DailyClack or SwitchKeys? Would really appreciate a local proxy rather than having to purchase through the Asian one....

I initially chosen Monokei to vendor for SEA but they backed down due to understandable circumstances. I will think about other SEA proxy alternatives but can't say for now.
