Here is the IC for my latest set, GMK βeta.
In collaboration with Krelbit of Switchmod.net and Oblotzky, we have been able to translate one of my favorite Betamax cassette tape sleeves into a keyset, using stock GMK colors.

The Colors
The colors used will be L9, 2B, RO2, and V2. The legends will be CR, which is black.

PLUS KRELBIT IS A HUGE WEEB AND WILL ONLY SELL SETS WITH SOME SORT OF JAPANESE-BASED INSPIRATION.
SO HERE'S THAT. LOOKS PRETTY SICK.

Also, I think it would be cool to add white or light grey accent keys. It would resemble the white circle things used to rewind/fast forward the cassettes and it would add some nice contrast to the grey and beige

Base kit compat is great. Mod-colored tilde and pipe would be nice to have, but I guess you omitted them on purpose, which is fine.

The proposed JS base, if that is preferred to the smaller JS add-on:Show Image(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/718135683666935900/734583952823812117/gmk_js_kit_01_base.png)
The JS add-on and JS base kits are missing the R1 `~ー, R3 #~む and R4 \|ろ keys needed for JIS and ISO. The JIS-only 半角/全角 key is present, so it would make sense to include these as well.
The R1 -_ほー key is missing the ー quaternary (top-right) sublegend used on ANSI JP layouts, which these kits are based on.
The R1 0(わを key has a small を quaternary sublegend when, in fact, it should be regular size (like the わ below it) since a small を character doesn't exist in hiragana. (This has been a common mistake in hiragana kits ever since GMK Serika.)
In summary, these are the suggested changes for the JS kits:
- Add R1 `~ー
- Add R3 #~む
- Change R4 \|む to \|ろ
- Change R1 -_ほ to -_ほー
- Change R1 0(わを to have a large を sublegend

This looks vvv nice! The only thing is that red color is too neon imo, maybe worth making it less vibrant?
The cassette sleeve is pretty vibrant itself. We actually had a sort of tough time even finding a perfect-match RAL tone. I believe for our purposes, and considering the goal of using stock GMK colors, RO2 will work just fine.

In summary, these are the suggested changes for the JS kits:
- Add R1 `~ー
- Add R3 #~む
- Change R4 \|む to \|ろ
- Change R1 -_ほ to -_ほー
- Change R1 0(わを to have a large を sublegend
I agree with these recommendations. The last two are required to make even the ANSI layout correct, which should probably be a minimum bar, and as for the first three -- while they wouldn't go so far as to offer full support for JIS keyboards (which I would love, but unfortunately would require a much more extensive kit) -- they would at least allow for correct placement of alphanumeric and kana characters on JIS keyboards, meaning that only the punctuation is off. I believe the same is true of ISO boards, although I will defer to konstantin there as he has done more research on the state of kana input on non-JIS boards than I have.

I agree with you completely. I'm tired of JP sets not properly supporting JIS like it should be.
In therms of the set... Great colorway, probably going to be a buy. :) Can we also have some smaller spacebars? I think JIS should come with smaller spacebar for all the mods the layout has. That'd be a nice addition.
I'm still a bit weary of the ETD of the set and the terrible QC though... but this looks great. Hopefully it'll look great out of production too!

They call him... Betamax!
It's a lovely colourway, I love that retro style.

Any more renders planned? Would like to see what it looks like on a more realistic render of silver or grey.
Working on more renders

Does the fact that this is stock colors mean that this can "jump" the current GMK wait time?
Just 8 months and two pushbacks instead of 11 and being Dracula’d.

good one lol
yes, there should not be a color matching phase as the colors are all stock GMK colors. I do not think it will "jump" anything in the queue as those orders were placed before this one will be.

GMK won't actually put you into the production queue until all the vendors have submitted their purchase orders - after the gb period

4.5u space for JIS Filco boards would be nice
I do not believe that GMK has this mold, and we are unwilling to pay for the mold to keep the cost of the set lower.

Waiting to get the preliminary quotes from GMK to make any decisions there.

I suspect this has already been caught, but the scooped F and J keys in the JS base kit don't have sublegends.
Yup that was already fixed, I just forgot to update the OP.

Shame that R1 `~ー didn't make it in. But at least that 半角/全角 mold is getting made, which is good.
Other changes are on point. GG hiney & krelbit

Thanks! yeah, sorry about the R1 key. decided against it.
the GB is slightly delayed, will start either Monday Aug 24 or at the end of the next week.

No that's totally understandable, JIS is a fairly obscure use case. Just thought it'd be nice to pair it with the width conversion key for completion's sake. There's still physical compat for it, so it's all good :thumb:

It would be nice if you could make the red accents available as a stand alone for the base kit. I am not a weeb but like the colors..
shame!

With the GB start date shifted to next week, will the GB run past September 14th? Running a few days longer might be helpful for those who are paid bi-monthly.
the end date will be adjusted accordingly

Hello guy, I would like to ask what is original function of 1U "red keycap with 2 lines of JP letters" next to grey Esc in JS Base set? Is it a "JP Esc" key or something completely different? Google Translator translated as: "Half size/Full width". Thanks for explanation.

It is not an Esc key. JIS (https://imgur.com/0QqoSc7) keyboards use this key for toggling between half-width and full-width (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms) characters, as well as toggling IME (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_method) input on and off (the function labeled Kanji). You can find more information about this particular key here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_input_keys#Half-width/Full-width/Kanji).
That being said, nothing's stopping you from using this key as an Esc novelty if you want to :)
