Not bad. I think the accents are fine. I like that this is not a formulaic set, and isn't a safe color way.

Appreciate the honesty, I want to know your opinions  :thumb:

Interesting, what's the inspiration?

For this set I'm going more for the colorway than a specific theme, but generally cinder, ashes, embers and volcanic rock are my inspiration.

Not bad. I think the accents are fine. I like that this is not a formulaic set, and isn't a safe color way.

Thanks!

Only reason for the hiragana subs is that I love the way they look.

Oh my god. I love it. Not a fan of those accents though, I'm not sure what to replace them with. Hell, I think this set would world with mono color (that orange for the legends, and that base for everything).
Also, as much as I love GMK right now, please consider other companies (Geekark? ePBT?). The lead times for GMK are painful right now.

EDIT: Okay I get why I don't like the accents. It's because you have the same color for the bases of alphas and mods even though they have different legend colors, so the accent keys just stand out more, and not in a good way.

Initial glance reminds me a little bit of Kaiju some, and I say that in the best way possible. Following along, I'll see how it grows on me over time. Best of luck.

Please consider removing sub-legends unless this is Dark Souls related.
Alternatively, if you must have sub-legends, use a different accent colour and go for JTK tripleshot.

Hey so these colors are not my thing but they are well balanced.
Something is off about the Alpha weight in the renders. Is this a reference or are these totally new molds.
Or am I dumb.

Love the colors here! Only wish there was a latin alpha variant (not child kit), feel like it'd look better in this particular colorway. Hiragana/any sublegends add business to an already shocking accent color.

Just my 2cents tho   :-*

hey lush_bunny, good to see you here. Appreciate the feedback!

Please consider removing sub-legends unless this is Dark Souls related.

It is actually slightly inspired by Dark Souls, but for IP reasons I prefer not to mention it, and I don't want to use that as an excuse for the sublegends.

Not new molds, and yes it's just for reference. If the weight is off I haven't noticed so I will take a look.

Hey all, it's clear the accent color and the hiragana subs are very divisive so I added them as questions to the IC form.

I wouldn't mind offering both hiragana and latin alphas but MOQ wise it could be tricky, so it would depend on support during IC.

Thanks for the feedback!

I still strongly feel that the accents should be some type of dark molten lava red to match the volcano theme. Otherwise it looks great, GLWIC!

I'm in the same boat here. I'm a big sucker for grey/black & orange color combos, but the light grey just feels kind of abrupt since it's not featured anywhere else. Certainly adding this to the watch list still though.

I like the general theme but I agree that the accents should probably be darker than the alphas in this case.  The orange is good but I also dont see the need for the sub legends, less is more on a set like this.

Hey everyone,

After a few days the results of the form are not as divided as I expected, 75% in favor of grey accents and 67% of hiragana subs.
With this info I will be keeping the hiragana, but I will still consider adding a kit without subs.

As for the light grey accents, I think the results justify keeping them, but I will still be trying out different options and might make a survey in the future if I find something that works.

Thanks for the feedback so far!

I made a couple of new accent options for GMK Cinder. Please fill this new form so you can pick your favorite.

I tested more suggestions but I narrowed it down to these as I think they maintain the feel I want the set to have.

I like pretty much everything about this set. From the colorway to the renders. I think the existing light novelties work well with it. GJ on getting the hiragana subs completely right. The kitting is also really good, almost perfect. Speaking of which...

Please consider including R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn for 65% and other layouts using right columns.

You can probably drop 2u Shift from the base kit. This key is useful only for a limited number of 60% boards. Sometimes it can also be used as a stand-in left space for Alice boards, but there's already an extra 2.25u Shift key for that — and the well-put-together spacebars kit covers that too, so I don't think there's a particular need for this key.

I like the colorway as is; the 428C evoking images of volcanic ash clouds.

I like pretty much everything about this set. From the colorway to the renders. I think the existing light novelties work well with it. GJ on getting the hiragana subs completely right. The kitting is also really good, almost perfect. Speaking of which...

Please consider including R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn for 65% and other layouts using right columns.

You can probably drop 2u Shift from the base kit. This key is useful only for a limited number of 60% boards. Sometimes it can also be used as a stand-in left space for Alice boards, but there's already an extra 2.25u Shift key for that — and the well-put-together spacebars kit covers that too, so I don't think there's a particular need for this key.

Thanks once again for giving advice. I removed R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn to keep the price down, but I will keep it in consideration as well as the 2u shift.

Thanks once again for giving advice. I removed R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn to keep the price down, but I will keep it in consideration as well as the 2u shift.

Another thing to consider as far as cost-cutting measures go is dropping mod-colored pipe and tilde. Generally speaking, I would very much be against this, but in this case, with this particular colorway, they're sufficiently similar to the alpha-colored ones that removing the black legend variants may be worth considering.

However, none of these three things will make a big pricing difference in isolation. Sometimes, they don't make a difference at all — in other words, the final retail prices may end up being the same irrespective of whether or not you include one or two extra keys.

That being said, as far as value per key goes (not in terms of price, but usefulness), I would say that R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn are valuable way more than 2u Shift, but less valuable than mod-colored pipe and tilde.

Hello everyone, today I'm sharing the results of the form to pick the new accent color.
The combination of orange legends on a dark grey background won with a solid 50% over the other two options, so that will be the final accent.

Thank you for voting, it was great having the community decide on this, and I hope this change satisfies more people.

There's some similarities, but stealth only had very little orange on the base set (the enter and esc keys, set against a dark grey).  There were novelties that added orange spacebars and novelties along with rather bold lettering.  The color schemes are reminiscent but I think they carry significantly different looks-- especially if one opted to go for the blackout variant of GMK stealth.  Use of orange here is way more pronounced, doubly so with the sublegends (which I'm personally not a fan of).

Lots of replies here talking about the sublegends. I'm pretty split and it seems like the rest of yall are as well.

Maybe add a Latin-only alpha kit so folks have that option if they're so inclined? Options never hurt

y'all should read up, OP is considering it

Hey everyone,

After a few days the results of the form are not as divided as I expected, 75% in favor of grey accents and 67% of hiragana subs.
With this info I will be keeping the hiragana, but I will still consider adding a kit without subs.

As for the light grey accents, I think the results justify keeping them, but I will still be trying out different options and might make a survey in the future if I find something that works.

Thanks for the feedback so far!

Hey everyone, it's been a while since the last update.

I got back to working on this and I'm really excited to bring you a pretty big update with:

  • Novelties kit
  • Latin alphas kit
  • Deskmats
  • US Vendor
  • GB date March 2022
  • New renders

Regarding the Latin Alphas kit, I'm aware that it's not ideal for those of you that are not interested in hiragana subs but at the moment I can't justify having two base kits.
However if we get enough support and IC responses going forward I would be glad to swap it for a full latin base kit.

I'm also looking forward to working on collabs given that we have some time until the GB.
Let me know what you think!

Nice I have been waiting for this one!!!

couple of questions/requests:

The novelty enter, is that supposed to be a bonfire in the forest? I only guessed based on the theme, to me it doesn't really look like it at first or second glance, the trees are sick though.

can I request an R1 black key/orange legend version of the r2 eclipse novelty? feels like it makes alot of sense as an ESC key IMO (eclipse mat also looking very nice)

any chance for considering tossing the Alice 2.25 and 2.75 spacebars into the base kit? B is already there :)

lastly, always tossing my support in for the Hiragana subs, looking forward to GB!

Looking good.

Throw an extra tab into the latin alphas though - it's one extra key and it lets people cover two boards with base + alphas, which is a really nice bonus for those who want it without being a massive extra cost for those who don't.

Technically people can still do that right now, but the second board would have to be a 40% and not everybody has embraced the magic of 40s yet.

Please add UK ISO into a kit or in the base.  At the very least add a Norde/UK kit.  I also love the forge mat, really nice.
I don't think these child kits are ever designed anymore as they're unlikely to hit MOQ with GMK prices anyway? Please correct me if I'm wrong

Thanks everyone, I'll consider the kitting suggestions.

The novelty enter, is that supposed to be a bonfire in the forest? I only guessed based on the theme, to me it doesn't really look like it at first or second glance, the trees are sick though.

It's a fire in the middle of the burnt trees.

Kits are looking great after the update. I was a fan of the original accent color, but the new one works well too.

Consider changing the R3 1.75u Control key to an icon legend () for a cleaner, more consistent look.

Thanks for the consideration! Also regarding my comment, I see that the flames have a bit sharper detail of the flame tips on the 1.25u flame (not bonfire) novelties, is that something gmk can do accurately? I think imbuing those sharper tips to the enter bonfire would really help it convey the imagery :) I'm in for this either way just my 2 cents

Will be able to give more accurate dates in the future, but most recent GMK sets have a 1 year + estimate between GB end and start of shipping.

Still have to get approval for the novelties but I expect it should be doable without major modifications.
That's a nice idea but the goal was to give the enter fire a similar style to the R1 campfire. Could try to make it more obvious that it's a fire tho.

Honestly that's fair. The more I stare at it, the more fire-like it looks and its got the bonus of being stylized which I can appreciate. Ignore what I said about the flames and sorry for stirring that pot!

Double base kits are risky right now. Look at Power Chord's numbers. I think it really needs to be a R2 thing, or something with a huge amount of support.

By contrast offering alt alphas lets people cover two boards with base + alphas, which is a big selling point. Flip side I guess is that there will always be folks who prefer one set of alphas over the other and just want the one kit.

I think this is a good use of alt alphas. I would be worried about a first time set like this one trying to run two base kits.

Hey everyone, another quick update.

I made one final change to the orange color, going from stock GMK V2 to Pantone 1505 C.
It's not a massive change but in comparison the Pantone is more saturated and vibrant, and I think it will really take advantage of GMK's ABS and will look striking on top of the grey keycaps, giving that "glowing like embers" look to the alphas that I'm looking for.

All renders have been updated. I hope you like the change!

I like it but something about the contrast between the black legends and orange legends don’t work for me. Good luck regardless!

I agree, the bright orange on the alphas with the dark almost invisible legends on the mods are a bit awkward but otherwise, the colorway isn't bad.

Hey everyone! I'm excited to show you the first two collabs.
Also, we are still waiting for quotes for the set, so hopefully we get them soon and can launch this month as planned.

I’m definitely in for this with at least 2 kits, a desk pad, and the HIBI artisan. This is like my perfect set. Huge FromSoft fan, huge fan of dark colors on boards, and orange is my favorite color. Can’t wait for GB launch!

Maybe change base kit to be non hiragana and alphas with hiragana?
Doesn't make sense to be, unless the majority of the buyers are hiragana users

Hey everyone, new update.
We just go the quotes so the GB might not be during this month. I will share GB date and pricing really soon.

Apart from that, we got two new collabs!

Due to some coordination stuff, these are actually live right now. They came out beautiful so check them out!

It's a nice set but IMO the base set should have Latin alphas with Hiragana an optional addon.

Great color palette. I really like what you have going on, but I think there are a few things holding this set back a bit.

As it's presented, the orange's purpose seems to be as an accent color. So with the dark bases with the gray and black, the choice to put hiragana in the base kit and making those sublegends orange too, all-in-all ended up making my eyes ache because there's a bit too much of that bright orange being pumped into the alphas and sublegends. I would've suggested using the black do add a bit more contrast in the alphas so it's a bit easier to look at. And then with the kitting, you're making people pay more if they want less, if they want the latin alphas instead of the hiragana sublegends.

Just my thoughts, but I hope your GB does well!

+1. I typically like hirigana alphas, but I think this sets looks nicer with the mono alphas.

Ditto what others have said, prefer latin alphas in base. I'm in love with this set and was thinking to pick up 2 base kits. If latin was in base, I can buy 2 base kits and get extra hira alphas for flavor every once in a while. Since right now this is reversed, buying base kit twice would give me two hira alphas that I wouldn't really use that much, and I'd still want to pick up two latin alpha kits. That would be a lot of overspending.

I agree with many of the comments here regarding the sublegends. It seems that the orange sublegends don’t allow the alphas to really pop, though it might be too late in the process to change anything now.

I’ll definitely be watching this one for pricing, but I’m iffy on buying a base kit and then alternate alphas

Good news for the Latin alphas folks.

I've decided to go for two base kits, since we reached enough interest and I've gotten so many requests about this since the start.
That being said, reaching MOQ for the Latin base will be riskier than for a Latin alphas child kit, so hopefully we see good support in the current GMK market.

I hope this solution satisfies everyone.

I definitely preferred the old kitting. Base + alt alphas lets you cover two boards.

Going for double base kits in a R1 group buy, with an initial IC that was posted 9 months ago in a hobby that's actively shrinking right now - feels like a huge risk.

Hopefully not much. The latin base will compete with it, but if the preference for hiragana also shows during the GB and the set does decently well, it should be fine.
