This deserves a rendering on a red Pizza65 sooooooo much.

Filling the ic form as soon as I get back from work :-)

[hello21]

Digging those novelties and deskmats.
Would prefer a different tone of brown though; if it's intended to match the crust, a more orange/yellow tone may work nicer.
I'm guessing you were trying give a crust feel by making the function row brown but I'm a fan of red coloured F5-F8.

[Izeri]

I want a Pizza65 render

[MoltenKhor]

I have to say, you made MY set. I'll be totally in.

[LittleAad]

Iso novelty feels a bit bland. Maybe you could have a pizza and then a slice being pulled off with the cheese stretch being displayed. I think that would be pretty cool but other than that I think its nice. Kitting is done pretty well too but it would be nice to have the extra shifts and b in base for alice users. glwic!

[andromache]

Looking at this makes me hungry. Good job.

[kaysoo1337]

Better change the novelties font to smth more interesting , for example use the font you used in "pepperoni" nov GLWIC

[tech.spaghetti]

Man you have to add iso Italian for this set, just for respect to us hahaha

[MoltenKhor]

As a design suggestion:
Take off that "mmm salty" enter key, in Italy a salty pizza means a bad pizza. maybe replace with something more fun
the arrow keys are a bit boring, why not using the pizza slice icon as arrows rotated on each direction

[totalemon]

Mmm salty is absolutely going to get taken out of context, and not sure why just "pizza" was your idea for the iso lmao. Otherwise the novs are amazing, not too keen on the main set colours but I understand that there'll be plenty of people who are. GLWIC!

[Afresh]

mamma mia!

[MS85]

I second most of what has been said

-ISO enter novelty could be enhanced with something like a bent pizza slice, like a Dalí melting shape, to follow the layout of the key

-“salty” must go

-ISO Italian, well it would be nice but after seeing pbt Amalfi missing it, I lost my faith anyway

I would add

-novelties in 1.5u for WKL users?

-I would switch the design of novelties on ANSI enter and backspace. Reading from top to bottom, if you use both, it is now “Pizza peppperoni” while switching it would make more sense maybe. And I would use the same color scheme of the enter for both, to blend them in the set (maybe it’s just me, I like when novelties are subtle, like Easter eggs that you don’t notice immediately)

-the brown to recall the crust is very nice but I’m wondering if it would look nice on a 65%. It would be all brown just on 4 keys on the right if I’m not mistaken. Sounds weird.

-just throwing an idea on the table: a touch of green to recall the basil? I know, this is inspired by a pepperoni pizza, not by a proper margherita, but still...

Wow..first of all, thank you so much for your feedback regarding this kit.

From what I am seeing from the replies to this IC post, I am thinking of a better design for the enter keys and maybe the arrows keys?
Oh and possibly adding 1.5U novelties as well.

As you can see, I'm not an Italian, just a passersby on the other part of the globe.
Do you mind suggesting an Italian theme for the ISO enter?

and Green? hmm..let me think about it.

[hoychaa]

Thank you so much for your suggestion!

I am thinking of a better design to replace those enters in the novelties kit. Stay tuned

[hoychaa]

Hmm yes the enter keys gotta go, per everyone says in the replies.
I will try fiddling with the designs for the arrow keys, like you suggested! Thanks!

[hoychaa]

Did you like that big font too? I'll fiddle around with the designs in the coming weeks. Thanks!

Thank you very much!! I'm also feeling hangry as well

Oh wow that's a good design idea. Thank you so much!

I was trying to keep the base kit key count as low as possible, so I had to delete that extra B and Shifts..

This is still an IC, so I'll definitely think about what you mentioned.

[hoychaa]

and Green? hmm..let me think about it.

For the ISO enter, just trying to google for "bent pizza slice" I found this.



I guess it sort of fit the shape of an ISO enter.

For the green, yes it came to my mind since the classic pizza margherita is based on red (tomato), white (mozzarella) and green (basil). According to the legend, it was created as an homage to the queen (Margherita di Savoia) taking the colors of our flag. Probably not historically accurate, but it's the most common story behind it. And the margherita is basically the "base" for any other pizza or at least the main ones.

But again, if this is a "pepperoni pizza" theme, it would not match, so...yes, I was mostly overthinking a bit I guess.

[shima]

this on a pizza65 would be a nice combo ngl

I really appreciate your thoughts I am working on the ISO enter with the pizza drippings(?lol) at the moment, so hang on tight.

Colorwise, I am still debating about green, or any color in particular

Haha Thanks! I will try and contact the creator of Pizza65

Hey guys, I've updated the novelties designs.

Per feedback I've received from many of you, here are the changes

1. Decided not to follow Pepperoni arrow keys, but instead pizza slices pointing to each respective directions
2. Added 1.50u sized keycaps for WKL users out there (myself included)
3. Deleted Backspace novelties
4. Updated "Enter" keys with "Pepperoni" and a pizza slice from the pie.
5. 65% users or Macro users will have access to 1.00u sized Pepperoni slices covering from R1 to R4
6. Added new 1.00u key designs (Brick Pizza Oven and a Pizza Peeler) in R2
6-1. If you guys want to, I could also have the new 1.00u keys to be in R1

I think the R1 to R4 1u keys for 65s layouts should all be in mod color, right? Red or light brown but defo not alpha color, same for novelty arrows and enters.

Hey, thank you for suggestions.
I've thought about your feedback and went back to my drawing board to fiddle around with different combos to the keyset.
I did decide to change the enters back to red, but for Pepperoni slices and arrow keys, I was not so sure.

Keeping the pepperoni slices's identity without influencing the whole novelties with red at the same time, I was not so comfortable with alternative color combo options.
Similar situation landed with the arrow keys. They looked more subtle when they were in same combo as the alpha keys.

Overall, I really appreciate your color corrections. I just hope these may build up to complete this kit :)
