Fun set! If you're going to include alternate enter colour for ANSI, please don't leave us out in ISO.Appreciate the positivity :). Ah you mean the alternate red enter? Sure thing.
Interested, but I'm way more likely to buy it if it runs with KKB instead of GMK.
I'd prefer if there were orange FJ keys available so you'd get consistent alphas; I'm not a fan of mixed colors on alphas.
Esc should probably be yellow; otherwise the yellow will be badly underrepresented on 60%-and-smaller boards. Usually esc/enter/space match on smaller layouts.
Also personal preference but any set that has weird legends ("hi" instead of "esc", or that one set that has "godspeed" instead of "enter"—what?) turns a set into an instant hard pass unless they're available as novelties and the base kit has standard legends.
Oh God, there were so many stars you could have used. What was the need to give these people to the fire, that the symbol of their passing might shine above Bethlehem?Demise is necessary to illuminate the birth of the savior.
Is it April already?It's April everyday if you're a fool like me.
This is so horrifying, but I I'm going to need a set to blind myself with.100%. I feel like Victor Frankenstein releasing this monstrosity.
I like the idea of using this kind of colors, but id not choose the handarbeit distribution of them, id use dcs windbreaker's distribution of colors, or even gmk panels, just my two centsDCS windbreaker is a great keycap set, which I totally forgot has a similar spirit. Anyways I think copying the same distribution would make it a little too close in similarity. I also don't think I'd adopt GMK Panel's distribution either since the multi-coloured latin alphas has less 'logic' than Handarbeit's distribution (it's inspiration is much different).
Why did you link a porn discordYikes! Oh damn. my bad. I changed it quick. Thanks for the heads up. I replaced the previous discord link with triple x thinking it would be a dead link :-[, hence the strike-through. I didn't think it would lead to an active server.
On a tangent, for OS legends, I just tend to get bored of 'Super' (it also doesn't fit as well on 1u like 'Sys'/'Code')). I also dislike how 'Code' starts with the same letter as the adjacent 'Ctrl'. I also dislike how the lower leg of the p in Super, and y in Sys breaks the visual bottom line. The only good alternative I can think of that isn't 'Win' is 'Meta' but it's a rather atypical modifier key legend.
aight yeah **** it I'm inMy instincts are leaning towards text only, but I need to do some renders to see how I feel.
Def icon or text only for mods either one is better than texticon
I'm in, that's for sure! However, I would need NorDe. :)Thanks, will endeavour to mock up a NorDe kit too.
And because it's of interest, I would prefer icon+text and only secondly text-only modifiers.
Beyond that, I first have to figure out what else I have to say.
Just to say: Awesome ****!
Just as a heads up, I have a very similar deskmat planned for my set Eraser (working on getting order amounts from vendors right now, will be in-stock). https://mvkb.com/eraser/#deskmatOh sorry I didn't realise the similarity. I guess my intended execution for the deskmat is a little different due to the orientation, with the illusion of the binder fold in the middle. So it's a little awkward in terms of similarity, but they're not the same either. Anyways this project is still really early in development, and I'm also totally cool with other's preferring your version of a deskmat designed for Eraser (very creative set!), which will have the far superior option of being in-stock.
Interesting and creative project. Will totally be interested if an international kit is added!Thanks. Yeah seems like there's good feedback to propose a NORDEUK kit for this project.
Disgusting. I'll take eight.:') that's the response I love
Amazing kitting, thank you for full pg up/dn support and especially for 1.5u supers!
Interested, In for sure!Cheers :thumb:
Actually unreal set. Please stick with GMK.Will work it out, happy to get prototypes made to make sure it doesn't look too janky.
Deskmats might be a bit tricky to print..
I hold no responsibility in making Boba create this assault on your eyes. Though even I find this to be hilarious.I'm just a copycat criminal.

Amazing!<3
I actually quite like 'os' in the context of an all-lowercase modifier legends. It's minimalist. Fits 1u well. If the legends are all-uppercase, I actually like SYS. It's just in the context of mix case legends, I just wish there was more alternatives than Super/System/Code for the reasons I explained. For this set, I'm currently considering trying to bring back 'Meta' as the OS key legend, because it's less common, yet is technically still 'standard' from my understanding (https://old.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1ianq45/what_are_super_hyper_and_meta_keys/).On a tangent, for OS legends, I just tend to get bored of 'Super' (it also doesn't fit as well on 1u like 'Sys'/'Code')). I also dislike how 'Code' starts with the same letter as the adjacent 'Ctrl'. I also dislike how the lower leg of the p in Super, and y in Sys breaks the visual bottom line. The only good alternative I can think of that isn't 'Win' is 'Meta' but it's a rather atypical modifier key legend.I'm fully aware of the irony that I'm the guy who doesn't like nonstandard legends, but on a Yuzu set where I have the mods labelled as what I actually use them for I have the usually-super key labelled as "OS" (or actually "os" since it's an all-lowercase design).
Homing-keys-wise, I preferred barred to scooped, but it isn't a dealbreaker.
I prefer Variant B, myself; it looks the most balanced. Still hoping for a yellow R1 Esc to balance out enter and spacebar. Also this is crying out for a Stüssy S novelty. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_S (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_S))
I understand why you chose black legends, but have you at least tried changing the legends to other's base color? and go full eschizo with colors, could look very good although it would drift a bit from the original spirit of the setI agree it would look good and hurt eyes more. However I think going full rave party in the base kit is perhaps an idea for another day.
It's hideous, my poor eyes! Obviously I have to have it. I own GMK's Hi-Vis and they did a really good job with the colour, so it seems they're well-equipped to take on some other neon colours! Please, though, for the love of all that is holy, include 40s kitting as an extra. There are thousands of us (15,000 in the main discord server!) and we need keycaps too.Thanks for the kind words.
Love the deskman design too, instant yes from me.
Note that you will need to include an additional R5 1u Fn key if you're going with R5 in the base kit, as the R4 1u Fn won't be compatible with the bottom row in this case.Thanks for the useful kitting advice as usual Konstantin. Have added a R5 1u Fn key in Red-Orange now.
There's also 2u Shift and 1u Shift for GK64 and similar layouts. I would consider removing them from base and putting them the add-on kit instead, since those layouts aren't all that popular nowadays. Same goes for 1.5u Shift, and maybe the second 2.25u Shift too.
Looks great otherwise.
Loving the cool S as 1u supers.Yes! They're the coolest super novelties ever. As a kid, my group called it the Super S, though I know other's called it the Stussy S. There's a whole Wiki article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_S) on it too, and no certainty with its actual origin. This will come in 1.25u too!
LFG! R5 in base!!!!!!Thanks for the suggestion to make it R5.
Tho since we have R5, can we do a R0 add on as well? ;D
You got me to post my first post here after lurking for 4 years. I straight up love this ****. This is like when I saw Hi Viz the first time and thought ”absolute eye sore and I must have it”. Because it’s eye sore bThanks for the love.
To be a little constructive: DCS Windbreaker has been on my main board for the last year or so, and I absolutely back your decision to keep the legends black. It really adds a lot to the set, and highlights that it’s, well, highlight.
Aaand, it seems as you’ve already made your decision but yeah, text mods only is the way to go.
Lovely set all in all. More color to the people, **** yes.
I’m good w any variant color wise:thumb:
Fully support you cutting out anything possible to keep the base kit price at 135 or less as MOQ is hard these days. I’ve used double zero before but would rather have this be made than a 140$ base kit that gets canceled like some other sets recently.
I'd buy full base kit versions of each of these colors if I could. Especially the Magenta(?) used on the Caps Lock and Left ShiftPerhaps there might be a possibility in the future, but I'd like to see how these sample turns out first. Yes, I would love to a super neon pink keycap set if there's interest. For this set, I'm calling the pink on the modifiers 'Magenta' and the pink on the alphas 'Fuchsia'
I did not liked the red color actually it is better to be without red colorAppreciate your opinion/thoughts! As I don't have samples yet, please note that my current renders are not potentially the most accurate, and the 'red' has since been changed to RAL 2005 (the same as GMK Flare (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=124445.0)) since I was concerned it would be a bit too difficult for 'red' match the fluorescent energy of the other colors. In fact a lot more 'orange' in nature, and not red. I'm calling it 'orange-red', but I'll try to play with some renders and see if it really adds much to the set. The original concept had alphas primarily only orange (with yellow homing keys), which is why the 'red' was initially used; to help introduce a bit of visual variety with the bottom row modifiers. Now that the alphas are a mix of orange and fuchsia, it's purpose is less meaningful visually. So I'll have a play around to see if the 'red' is that important...
I love the changes to the base kit so far, however is there any chance one of the variations of F/J could be Scooped? Having both options of scoop. And bar is a staple I feel that should be considered. Please consider scoop lovers :(.For now, the yellow F/J will come as both scooped and barred homing keys, whereas the fuchsia F & orange J will come only as barred. Trying to keep the base kitting price in mind atm.
Oh good lord I want this in my life! I want this so badly! Amazing set, bravo!
Super excited for this one!!!<3
Super excited as well! Do you have an idea about the timeline of this project?Rough timeline is late Q2 or early Q3.
Yeah, I like this.Going to be honest that it's frankly quite difficult to do ortho/40s specific child kits in the current market. It's not likely without strong vendor support. I can potentially provide some physical layout coverage for 1u modifiers by covering for double macro column (XT-layout) in the add-on or novelty kit. It's an approach I'm trying in the Art Deco novelty kit for GMK Black and Gold (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=123619.0), a groupbuy I'm currently I'm running at the moment.
Like it even more if there was ortho support.
Wow, this set is so unique. Probably too many colors for me, but I would use it as a highlight for my WOB set and put it together. I think they will create a cool effect together. :pYeah I think you could definitely remix some of these caps with WoB for a unique look.
icon only mods was better
icon only mods was better
Isn't the idea of handarbeit to encourage and teach proper typing techniques? To me it makes the most sense to have text + icon because its the easiest for someone who is learning how to type to understand.I'm not sure that argument makes much sense to me.
