Ikeygai Designs is super happy to announce our first keyset -

IKG Greyscale Hangul

In collaboration with reeeyouuu (designer of CRP Classic Hangul)

Experience the allure of Hangul in a unique manner with Ikeygai Designs' newest collaboration with the renowned keycap designer, Reeeyouuuu. A tribute to the elegance and significance of the Korean script, our carefully crafted keycap set captures the essence of Hangul's phonemic ingenuity. By innovatively splitting the consonants, we've added a contemporary twist to a script that embodies Korea's rich linguistic heritage. Paired with a monochrome palette, these keycaps speak volumes in their simplicity, making for a truly bespoke typing experience.

Who will be the manufacturer?

I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that the ratio of production value in this IC to quality of the kitting is one of the worst I've ever seen.
I don't even feel like being helpful because so little effort clearly went into researching the most obvious things people want in a set's kitting.
Also because I have no idea how IKG manufacturing/MOQ/molds/etc work.

I'm no kitting expert, but this kitting is bad enough for me to take notice. No ISO support was the first thing that stood out to me, and I hate ISO!

mystery manufacturer
no iso
3 F and 3 J keys, one F and one J is thinner than the other extra F and J?
no F13
no second B
half the extensions kit should be in the base kit
and this comes from a guy that rarely cares about kitting cause I dont know much about good kitting

Hi everyone!

This was a complete accident on our part. This post is not ready and was not mean to be published (also why we have not announced it on our socials/website plus lack of actual IC form). I accidentally hit "post" instead of "preview" on GH editor.

Nonetheless, thank you all for your feedback, we really do appreciate it. As for kitting, we are still working on it with the designer of this set and will update this post accordingly. Will be locking this post till all updates are complete.

Just to clarify, though this was a premature post, we have still noted all of your feedback and will be looking into it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
