Title: [IC] PBT Modern Hangul
Post by: Malvix Studio on Mon, 27 April 2020, 10:00:22
Introduction

안녕하세요!

(https://i.imgur.com/jfyam5w.jpg)

I've been working on this set for a while, and I'm super excited to introduce PBT Modern Hangul

Here is the original KLE. I will be using proper OG icon mods, so please ignore the text mods! (More on sublegends below)

(https://i.imgur.com/vb5nOvl.png)

Inspiration/Naming

With a name like Modern Hangul, it only makes sense that the set is clean and minimal, with a splash of colour. I started by wanting a monochrome kit made in PBT. Red and blue are deeply personal colours and add a lot of personality to a rather minimal set. Since these two colours have followed me throughout the years, I wanted to bring them to my keycaps as well. I've really come to enjoy these two colours, and I hope that you will too! All colours are either Pantone or RAL.

I noticed that we have a distinct lack of Hangul kits, so I've decided to make those the default legends in this set. However, if there is enough interest in the IC phase, I will strongly consider adding in regular alphas as well! I'm trying to have this made in PBT, and I am currently waiting to hear back from HammerWorks CRP as well as ePBT to decide which PBT manufacturer I will go with. The black mods have been purposely chosen to be lighter than previous attempts at reverse dye-subbed black keycaps, so they should be a fair bit easier to achieve.

Sublegends

As shown in the KLE, I'd love to aim for grey sublegends to stay true to the minimal design and to have the main legends be the primary focus. They're sublegends after all! Initial renders don't show this, so I will work on that ASAP. Additionally, I'd like to ask for your feedback on the inclusion of sublegends on the mods. Is that something you would want?

Kits

Considering the large number of kits that most keycap sets have, I wanted to keep it nice and simple, while including the maximum amount of compatibility in the main sets. I'm open to feedback for the kits, so if you have any suggestions, please remember to fill out the form at the bottom of this post!

Base

(https://i.imgur.com/Z8sjgXy.jpg)

Base kit supports pretty much every standard layout from 60% and up, minus full-size and Alice.

Numpad/ISO

(https://i.imgur.com/RaiJl56.jpg)

Numpad and ISO kit together for my European and full-size friends :)

Spacebars

Spacebars kit adds a bit more colour, as well as support for Alice-style boards.

WoB Esc/Enter keys for that monochrome colourway

That's already in the base kit! Check the renders :)

What do sublegends on mods look like?

I have attached the KLE near the top of the IC. Here it is again!

Sorry to tell you this but Leopold and Ducky already sell really great PBT doubleshot caps on their keyboards in a variety of color schemes for about the same price (or less) as you are probably going to ask just for caps - ie around $110 - $120 - For example:

I'd be ecstatic if somebody could do Hangul caps like this fantastic render from a couple of years ago (that never happened):

Do Leopold and Ducky sell the caps on their own with good layout support? Or are you saying you can get a Leopold or Ducky with Hangul sublegend keycaps for the same price as a kit?

What is the point of buying a leopold keyboard with  keycaps that only supports said board?
This set supports multiple layouts including whatever ducky and leopold board you buy.
You cannot really compare them.

What if people want to put this set on their Rukia, Alice, or split-key keyboards? Or, what if those keycap qualities are not actually great?

People want a kit to fit their own custom keyboards, not buy an entire keyboard that they will only use for keycaps.
Even if it was fully supported, why would you encourage so much product waste?
All that additional material that goes into making those OEM boards might not cost you money, but its environmentally damaging.

What a great 5Head take.

Feedback noted, it's an IC after all!

I might just have to start doing all the different kinds of ISO in this case, hmm

I'm currently working on more renders! That's one of the things that I have to do moving forward, getting the set rendered on more boards, more board colours, and with updated sublegend colours. I'm hoping to iron those out within the next little while. I've gotten an overwhelming amount of support for the set, and I'm so excited to show more soon!

Canadian retailer? Support!

We should have that, currently ironing out manufacturer details!

Loving the idea of more muted sublegends. It's why I opted against buying SpaceCadet, for instance, it's just too visually busy. Although I actually think it looks fine in the renders so far since the Hangul characters are fairly thin.

As I said previously: ISO-DE-Support and this is a must buy for me :)

Definitely possible, but I have not seen enough interest to make it a thing.

ISO support was only recently added for Hammer CRP caps, so I'll try my best to push for those. If not, I want to get at least basic ISO-UK support in.

Title: Re: [IC] PBT Modern Hangul
Post by: konstantin on Wed, 24 June 2020, 10:02:52
There's a few small mistakes with the ISO-UK keys:
Also, the F13 should probably be black instead of white.

Now, would you consider including basic (Korean) ISO support in the base kit? This consists of the following keys: ISO Enter, 1.25u Shift, R3 \|₩, R4 <>. You could then have the UK-specific keys in the add-on kit, as you currently do. This would make ISO support less expensive, and would make the add-on kit cheaper, too. If I'm not mistaken, some Korean keyboards are ISO, so to me it makes sense to have basic Korean ISO support in the base kit.

On a different note, your base kit is missing a second 1u Alt key to go with the 1.5u Super and 1.5u Function for Mac bottom rows. So you could either add the missing second 1u Alt, or remove those two 1.5u keys.

Finally, feel free to remove the 1.75u key from the space kit, as that size is used only on 40% boards (and only three of them, at that).
