just wondering but is the deskmat supposed to be 3999? 4k for a deskmat seems a bit high lol

Quote from: HungHingDaiLo on Wed, 19 January 2022, 21:01:13

The deskmat price is just a placeholder until I get the exact retail price from my lead vendor.

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)

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

I am very much interested in this set.

I know quite a few people who love mahjong and they will flip when they see this.

Can we have full set of novelties? I can see it being nice for a numpad.

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.

Lina · « **Reply #61 on:** Mon, 24 January 2022, 22:16:19 »

I need this to further evidence my MJ addiction.

I'd prefer cangjie to zhuyin (or both!), but just zy is fine. (I'd also go for a full set of novelties!)

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

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.

- R1 1u Accent Esc key changed to doubleshot circle novelty key
- Adding R2 1u Accent doubleshot circle novelty key
- Adding R2 1u Home key
- R3 1.25u Enter key forced to accent color green.

TLDR: Total added keys: 2 (R2 1u accent & 1uHome). These keys optimize the three key 40s support along with some 65/70% keyboard layout. Thank you dededecline for the valid suggestions!

Novelties Kit

- Adding R4 2x 1.50u Novelty. The image is representing point stick to keep track of scoring. Each has different dot colors in the middle (Red and Green).
- Adding R4 2x 1u novelty. Both images represent Flower Tiles that consists of quartet flowers and seasons (Four Gentlemen and Four Seasons). mock-up pic:

TLDR: Moving the R1 accent blue novelty 1u to base kit, Added HHKB/Tsangan-compat novelties.

Others

Zhuyin sublegend on Base Kit stays.

- Deskmat Pricing added on OP. They will be sold at $20 USD on Mekibo.

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.

ryulinho · « **Reply #75 on:** Thu, 03 February 2022, 09:18:45 »

I liked the regular blue ESC better in the base kit set. Not sure what the rationale was to remove it.

HungHingDaiLo · « **Reply #76 on:** Thu, 10 February 2022, 23:58:22 »

Feb 11, 2022 Update
- Quoting kits to manufacturer (GMK)
- Sending deskmat files for prototypes

Soon
- Metal artisan collabs announcements

Tentative
- 3rd Deskmat design

yuzuu_ · « **Reply #77 on:** Fri, 11 February 2022, 17:00:59 »

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....

Thanks for reminding me, SwitchKeys got on board last week, will update the OP with SwitchKeys as OCE vendor

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.

On another matter, is the 5 key on numpad going to be

Hey all, a bit of update:

Canadian Vendor added: ApexKeyboards
Hope you're excited as I am!
