why does the render make the keycaps look so metallic? It doesn’t look like the material is plastic.I was referred by someone to keycaprenders.com to get images but it has issues with, as you've said, a metallic finish on the keycaps. I'll try to get better renders if possible from Kingk22
i feel like ive seen a set that looks just like this, maybe slightly darker colorsAre you referring to GMK Bento? Initially when picking colours I thought so too, but this blue and pink (which is red in bento) is a lot lighter and honestly gives a much different feel from the muted look of bento.
The contrast would be quite worrisome on this oneDo you mean contrast of alpha legends colour? The blue is similar to ePBT Fuyu so I'm hoping that won't be the case once I get better renders and fine-tune colours with Pantone chips.

I like this, but gonna need some (decent) renders. If only gmk had metallic looking plastics.I'm asking Kingk22 if he can make renders within the coming days. It does appear to be lighter than the actual colours (as well as the metallic finish) so hopefully that will be sorted soon.
Probably not the noel you're familiar too, GMK Noel attempts to recreate the magic of Noel, a character from Sora no Method into GMK keycaps.Oh no baby, what is you doing?
Update 1: New better renders confirmed for Thursday/Friday from Kingk22. Changed alpha and modifier legends for better legibility and contrast.
CableCarDesigns aanzee from keycaprenders.com sorry for the metallic look, will get it sorted by FridayShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/URVJFpp.png)

Pantone 628 U for Mod Colours
GMK WS1 for Alpha Colours
Pink Accents yet to be colour-matched
Dark Blue Alpha & Mod Legend Colours yet to be colour-matched
This interest check is very early at this stage, and I would like to gauge interest and any possible feedback. The colours and accents will be slightly changed from the renders (as they don't accurately depict the colours, as well as the shading being off) and I hope to get more accurate ones soon!
Plan to do
Get better renders

Get Pantone Colour Chips
Finalise colours
Add Novelties (Planning on boots, flying saucer, dragon, leaf and pillow)
Finalise kits

Update 1:Changed alpha and modifier legends for better legibility and contrast. Added accent spacebar. Updated Base Kit w/ UK ISO support.
Reminds me of bento especially with the addition of the hiragana :(
I like the colors but i feel it's really similar to GMK Bento with the hiragana legends.Bento’s alpha legend color is waaaaayyy darker.

Not to mention the alpha’s keycap color, which was borderline beige.

I’m thinking more of Shoko than Bento.
I own a Bento set (although I've yet to put it on anything) and I think it looks great, but this looks even better to me with its lighter and more muted colors.
The hiragana set looks very nice as I was hoping for one. I'm sure there's a purpose to the dashed squares on the { } keys that I'm simply unaware of, but I think it makes the key appear a little bit cluttered and it lacks balance with the other keys which put text in the bottom right. Another idea that comes to mind could be having katakana and/or kanji alternates for the modifiers. Otherwise, I love this set and I'm in if it ends up looking like this.
(Made an account just to be able to post here, which should say how much I like it!)

Before I start, I'd just like to say I appreciate you taking the extra effort to offer feedback on the set. It really means a lot to me!
As for your feedback, I do agree that the dashed squares on the set do clutter the keys a bit and contrasts compared to other keys. They're supposed to be placeholders for hiragana keys on Dakuten ( ゙ ) and Handakuten ( ゚ ) signs used to modify them, which similar legends can be found on something like GMK Metaverse. However, GMK Bento's implementation of just the symbol on the bottom right is much cleaner, so I'll be more than glad to change them.
As for Katakana and/or Kanji Mods (something like ePBT SimpleJa comes to mind), although it'd be great to have variety, I'm unaware that GMK has the moulds for mods with legends like those. Either new moulds will have to be created (which will increase price significantly) or they will have to be Dye-Subbed, which although cheaper, is something I'd rather spend time with novelties on as I honestly don't like the aesthetic of Japanese Mods in the first place and feel it just clutters it.
Hope that helps!
Looks great to me! Any plans for a spacebar kit?
Hiragana mono kit please?
:thumb: Looking great.Thanks, appreciate it! ;D
Update 6: Novelty Kit renders are up with keyboard renders on them and planning to have more renders for different layout keyboards soon.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/WPl0npy.png)
As for additional kits, if there is a sudden surge of demand for a specific kit added, I will most like add it, otherwise the current set of kits will be most likely what you'll be seeing at Group Buy.
Kits such as pink modifiers changed the look of it a lot, and I believe don't fit the muted theme of the set, especially since you'll be having pink mods with blue alphas which won't look as great.
Vendors have been confirmed, so expect to receive Noel in time for Noel 2020.
Thanks for all the support so far, and I hope this turns out to be a successful GB! :thumb:
You need more renders. Is this even an IC?You're right.

Definitely interested in this! If Noel's bow is a pink (metal) rama cap then I will most probably buy depending on finances at the time

Just some Observations/Suggestions:
1) Add Pink & White arrow keys
Accent Color Arrow Keys carry a lot of aesthetic value. Its one of the major design choices that unlocks the value of the accent color scheme and the set as a whole (e.g. Olivia, Camping, Cafe).
2) Add "Pg Up" to R3 and Add "Pg Dn" to R4
Adding the Page Up and Page Down keys in these rows is needed for those who don't have or don't use Home and End keys. The Page Up and Page Down keys are useful when kept close to the navigation arrows. Additionally, this layout is needed for people that don't like to sandwich their Page Up and Down keys in between the Home and End keys (e.g. Alt, M65-A, Satisfaction, 910, any 75% layout)
3) Remove sub legends from Numpad
Numpad keys with just numbers looks clean, minimal, and modern. The blue and the pink of Noel definitely give me these feels :)
Any thoughts on splitting the numpad kit and adding the F keys to Hiragana kit?
+1 to keeping numpad clean with #s only.
Any possibility of adding a r2 1.5u tab key to the hiragana kit, and backspace novelties (both r1 2u and r2 1.5u) to the novelties kit?
Just the extra tab key would let base + hiragana buyers fill out both a TKL and an additional 65% board (of a different backspace and bottom row config).
And with backspace novelties on top of that, base + hiragana + novelties buyers would be able to fill a TKL and an additional 65% board, with the same backspace and bottom row config.

A good portion of people still use numpad even if it's not the most common layout nowadays (at least seen in the enthusiast community), and neglecting that by having people pay around $30-40 extra for an add-on for something that would save roughly $15-20 for most people is something I do not want to do to. At least that's how I feel about it which is why I'd like to have a base kit to fit as many people as possible.

By F keys do you mean extra or Function keys with sub-legends? If it's the former then I understand the use of it from layouts 75% and above on a secondary board but I feel the added price for extra 12 keys that aren't japanese isn't worth it for many, as it'll be a premium on top of the current hiragana kit and base kit that they'd have to buy. If it's the latter I'm unsure if GMK possesses existing moulds for it. If they don't, it would be a small fortune to get them done which would greatly increase the price of the kit.
I appreciate your suggestions though, and look forward to improving the set to the best of my abilities.Any possibility of adding a r2 1.5u tab key to the hiragana kit, and backspace novelties (both r1 2u and r2 1.5u) to the novelties kit?

Hey! I'd be glad to add a r2 1.5u tab to the hiragana kit for a secondary board.
The backspace novelties suggestion however I feel detracts a bit from the more minimal nature of this set. I did initially have a flying saucer novelty to be done for the conventional R3 shift keys, but that didn't turn out so great as it was too busy and ruined the otherwise minimal looking set.
Thanks for your suggestion! ;)
How can I buy that one?It's on the initial post, but it'll be available in Q2 2020 on Cannonkeys, MyKeyboard, Daily Clack and ZFrontier.
Update 8: Cleaned up Base Kit layout, adding pink accent arows, R3 Pg Up, R4 Pg Dn, R3 Control and removing R3 padlock icon and Numpad Sub-legends. Added tab to Hiragana Kit for better compatibility on a 2nd board.
Just saw this now on reddit and made an account here just to comment that I absolutely love this set!
Will there be any renders on rose gold keyboards (especially the Polaris)? I would really love to pair it with Noel as I think it'd work really well together. Thanks!
Love this set!! When will this start GB?

I know about Fuyu, I'm just talking trash for no real reason (still a little sad Fuyu didn't stick with ePBT though).

ne purse caps lock avail?Old kit renders included both arrow and purse caps lock, but I decided to remove purse in favour for R3 Control as I personally prefer arrow and having both, in my mind, would not make sense if I could give better compatibility.
Hey, when will GB start? Thanks!
Fuyu best set 2020
But this is a close second
Everything in the Spacebars kit is convex, right?I'm having all kits updated, but yes they are all convex

Wish the hiragana wasn't so expensive, will have to skip that. Definitely in for base tho

Compared to similar kits across other Group Buys it's actually cheaper than most of them while offering more compatibility and keys; we've kept child kits as low as possible to make it easier for everyone to purchase.
