[IC] GMK Pastel - Updated 10/22
« on: Tue, 18 April 2017, 21:35:35 »
IC form: http://bit.ly/GMK-Pastel
Discord: https://discord.gg/tiny
 ^ this is my discord that has other stuff too (stream stuff, keycap stuff, etc) but I made a specific channel just for GMK Pastel. You can mute everything else and just get notifs for GMK Pastel! After you join the server, in #roles-and-rules, you must get the 'GMK Pastel' role to see the channel!

I'm sorry this took so long to get off the ground, but GMK Pastel will run in 2020 from Novelkeys (for US! Will update with proxies outside of US when I figure that out).

So there are some changes to the colors - using RAL instead of Pantone now, and the legends have been made darker to make sure there is enough contrast. Unfortunately, using pastel on pastel makes for not very good contrast so this is the compromise.

Here are the current planned kits:

(kit renders by mito)
Base kit:


40s:


Spacebar:


Renders by Abec13:





Render by thesiscamper


I need to update these, they have the window symbol which I swapped out for 'Code'.
Currently am brainstorming/designing novelties and thinking about moving the ISO + numpad keys into a separate kit? It kinda depends on how many people are interested (if there's enough to separate it out, to make the base kit cheaper!).

Please fill out this form if you are interested! Will send out large updates through that (like when the GB launches):

Updated: 2/27 - Switch to Pantone C colors, got chips, scrapped novelties

Pantone color chips:


Hi!

Disclaimer: I am a complete noob and I have actually very little knowledge of how to properly run a GB for a keyset. I'm not a designer and I'm not even familiar with all the different layouts of keyboards. With that being said, I will take all the suggestions, critique, and help I can get to make this keyset a reality!

Inspiration comes from easter eggs. I'm a big fan of pastel colors, and thought these colors would make a lovely keyset. This has been stewing in my mind for awhile, and I wanted to get this IC out on Easter, but didn't make it in time. I have a bunch of other things on my plate but I thought the least I could do is get an IC started.

I wanted to use 4 pastel colors: blue, purple, pink, and yellow (the colors in the GMK Pastel 'logo') but I can't use a light color on another light color because the contrast is not enough to distinguish the letters. So I've opted for a pastel yellow + blue and then the pink and purple are darker tones. I understand this means using all custom colors and yes, I know that will mean at least a higher MOQ. But I believe!

Without further ado, I present..



Here's a graphic I made of the keys that will be included in this set. The colors are darker in this graphic (most notable the pink) but I will try and update this with more accurate colors soon.
The background is an image that my artist friend Christy (BeKyoot) made (I've already asked and gotten her permission!) and you can find more of her cute artwork on her website and instagram.



And here's a preliminary render done by thesiscamper! I plan to get more renders once the colors are 100% decided upon.



I expect the colors to be light so closer to the render than the graphic that I made.

I believe this supports 1800, 75%, WKL, ISO, and HHKB (in addition to the standard full keyset). Please let me know if I'm missing keys for those kits! I kinda just gathered the extra keys/kits from looking at other GMK sets and so I might be missing/have extra of something.

I want to run this via GMK, Cherry profile, but I suppose that's not entirely set in stone just yet! I don't think I'd go for SA but I suppose DSA might be a possibility.

Oh, and yes, I know apolotary ran an IC for pastel GMK but it had very different colors and I have already reached out and asked if me running this IC would be okay! So yes, I made sure I wasn't stepping on any toes before posting this  :thumb:

Please feel free to share your thoughts and comments, and of course, if you'd be interested in a set like this.

Cheers,
Tiny

I'd keep the set as is

Assuming this makes it to GB you can count me in.

I like the idea, but IMO there's not enough contrast between the alpha keys and their legends.  Maybe switch the purple and pink?

Off the top of my head, the kit looks to have all the keys I need. Would like to see a some spacebars offered that match the alphas and maybe a 2.75 spacebar for split-space and VE.A users.

I would sell one of my GMK sets to get this.

pink mods blue legends instead and i'm totally in

As for the color combinations, the reason I decided not to pair the pink with the blue is that it looked pretty similar to Miami when I did. I'm also biased towards having more blue because I like blue :< If I have some time I can see if I can provide some alternative pairings.

My thoughts exactly. It was kinda hard to see the pink legend on the yellow alphas. I would suggest maybe purple legend for the whole board.

I like these colors as well, it might look great on a silver or light pink board.
The render has a PgUp next to NumLock instead of the divide sign, and the three 65% add-on caps should be moved down by 1 row (R1 PgUp and R2 PgDown are duplicates).

Really nice colors! A couple of things though:
  • Your 65/75% additional keys should be R2/3/4 (instead of R1/2/3)
  • 1800 isn't fully supported (nav keys are there, bottom row isn't)
Additional keys you'd need to add would be:



The green nav keys for 65/75; blue bottom row keys for 1800; purple keys are "unusuals" (not necessary at all, but would be nice to have). I also threw the Menu key in as the 1.25u Fn is already in the set.

Definitely joining this when it launches.

Thanks for the corrections! And interest! Just a small update.

I've modified the graphic to now include a bottom row for the 1800 set, and moved the 65/75 kit to where it should have been! And added the Menu key and the 00 key as well (I didn't see the 1u backspace in some of the other mockups I've seen, wasn't sure what that was for?).

And playing around with the idea of an egg key for the windows key perhaps? Or if that adds too many keys, maybe just one (set) for the Menu/Fn.

I just quickly put together 3 simple egg designs.


EDIT: The novelties are on 1u because I just grabbed the nearest size heh. They would be on.. well, multiple sized keys!

GMK Penumbra has it; it's an alternate backspace/delete key when you have the split backspace. However it's not necessary at all.

Hey all. Sorry for the lack of updates, I've just not had much time to work on this. And given the GMK lineup, I'm not even sure when making this set would be possible :(

I've just finished making some sketches for other ideas for novelties (based on GreyAmbiance's suggestion), but those aren't super essential, just a cute thing to have.



I believe I still need to get the colors down so I can get more official renders to do a proper IC check (over at reddit at least).

If anyone would like to help me to get this moving, I'm more than happy to accept help for this set :) I'm just in the middle of a lot of things at the moment but this is still something I'd love to see happen (a GMK pastel set). I do believe someone ran an IC for a pastel looking DSA set over on r/mk but I think this is different enough in profile to still be it's own IC.

Some old AT ISO keyboards feature a 1u backspace. The Minila also has one. But, I think there is no much use for it, as the old AT are mostly BS and has that super huge big ass enter.

It's common for kits these days to include the dual colors of spacebars.

Yellow/cream spacebar to match the alpha base colour?

I second this idea

I respect anyone's opinion, but to me pastel blue space makes the set look fresh.
Always having the same design patterns like spacebar matching alphas gets boring really fast imo.

Could I just include both colors for the spacebars (not sure how common this is)?
It's common for kits these days to include the dual colors of spacebars.

Okay, I've updated it to have dual color spacebars! As in, it shows as two colors on the graphic, but means that both colors will be supported.

I've also gone ahead and posted to r/mk and r/mm for the first IC.

Time to get the ball rolling on this!

Sorry for the half a year hiatus, there were a lot of things on my plate but I'm ready to try and pick this back up again! I haven't given up on my pastel keyset dreams.. just postponed them a bit!

I went ahead and actually switched up the colors a tad (Pantone C colors were recommended) and I ordered some chips so I could see the colors in person myself! I understand it will still not be exact (whatever lighting and camera settings I have + different people's monitors) but hopefully this helps! I will get updated renders once this moves a bit further along.



The base set remains mostly the same (keycaps wise) except for the spacebars. Originally, I thought it would be easier just to have one set total (like how GMK Skeletor was) and then it would have 3 sizes of spacebars in 2 different colors. But more and more sets have separate spacebar kits so I'm wondering if this should do the same? If so, I'm thinking something more like:

Included in Base set:
(All Yellow) 6u, 6u off-centered, 6.25u, 7u

Spacebar set:
(Pink) 6u, 6.25u, 7u
(Both Yellow & Pink) sizes like 1.25u, 1.75u, 2.25u, and 2.75u, etc. that people are interested in

The abnormal sizes (like anything for a split spacebar board) are a bit confusing to me and I also understand most people don't use keyboards with small spaces, so this is me interest checking for people that want this set and want specific sizes? This probably isn't the best way to go about it but I don't know how else to gauge interest in a spacebar kit D: I guess like a speak now or forever hold your peace kind of thing?

borrowed from oblotzky's space cadet IC:

just do this for your spacebar kit

if you're doing a smaller number of novelties it might be good to throw them in here too, since spacebars are cheap

Coming in late, but this is cute! As a fan of pastels, it's nice, but the yellow is not my favorite. I think a mint, pastel green would look nice. The pink in the mockup is also not as pastel as the others, I don't think, it looks a bit darker to me compared to the others.

Either way, it's a good start, and depending upon how it progresses, I may be interested!

I haven't forgotten nor abandoned this! It's just been on the backburner because of work but I'm still very much interested in making this happen.
This was the last render I got from thesiscamper (oops, I thought it was DCS but the renders are not DCS... still going for GMK!). These colors are closer to what I'm imagining for Pastel, than the previous renders.

Happy Easter, and I'll be updating some stuff soon to get the ball rolling again on this set. Nothing is set in stone yet, so I'll need your help to lock down colors/keys/kits. Stay tuned!
