Who's making it and how much will it cost?
I'm down for whatever you make MiTo!! This is nice. I don't think I have anything in cherry profile either.
Who is the manufacturer?Not sure yet.
It's pretty much a GMK Cyan (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=63953.0) knockoff with minor color changes.Show Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=63953.0;attach=115918;image)Show Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=63953.0;attach=79415;image)Show Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=63953.0;attach=79419;image)Show Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=63953.0;attach=79421;image)
Basically looks like you subbed the legend colors on the color packs and changed the alphas to OG beige.

My thought is the same with nubb.The only difference between 2 sets I can see is the black-on-white alpha.It's just my opinion.It's pretty much a GMK Cyan (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=63953.0) knockoff with minor color changes.The alpha legends are black, the alphas are a nice cream and the mod legends are that same cream.

About the gmk cyan thing, this looks much better than that imo.I think it's an overreaction too. It's not the same so what's the problem..? It's not like GMK cyan is the only set that can use cyan.
I have o opinion about the similarity, I really don't care and I think people are over reacting about this. It's just the colors of a keyset folks.

If MiTo is going flip his lid at people for doing similar designs, he deserves to be called out. This is not an original design. It is GMK Cyan mods with OG Cherry alphas and a modified GMK Cyan color pack. Aside from the enter and escape key, anyone could literally make this set right now.
He asked for feedback, I'm letting him know the set has pretty much already been done.
As an art director, I see colors in too miniscule steps and I oftenly argue with my designers debating 3 points of magenta in Illustrator.Exactly how I feel. If everyone is going to be so anal about colors when, in fact, the majority of the colors in a set are altered from what it is being compared to, it all feels wrong.
And with that daily life I can say—based on this render—that the most left key isn't cyan, and the other key isn't magenta.

For which cyan and magenta is a raw color which tends to give, well, raw feeling. But Joyland's give a more subtle creamy nuance which bring a washed vibe. Oh and GMK Cyan didn't use creamy alpha with neutral legend too.

obligatory "do it in DCS" postIt's not GMK, if that's why you're making that post. And DCS? 😱

I think it's very hard to read the mods text.
Besides that I like it. Alphas look great.

Thanks for the feedback, do you still feel this way upon glancing at the M65-A renders, present on this slideshow down here (https://mitormk.com/soon)? I already tried light grey legends on modifiers and wasn't exactly pleased with the result. But if this is the direction you guys think we should take, I believe it's a fair call to debate this detail. What do you guys think? I can render a couple versions with grey legends for the modifiers so you can visualize it better.

I almost exclusively use linear switches, actually
My favorite DCS sets are SoWaRe and the Smallfry set.

I feel like the legends are very visible - I might be biased though, I touch type exclusively so I don't really mind if something isn't super vibrant, I still maintain my opinion that they are perfectly legible though as is.

Regarding your link - the "Mech27" isn't "real". Mech27 is a winkeyless TKL, yours just seems to be a basic TKL model. I also don't see any dents/scratches so it can't be it :))
Good observations, the colors present on the project are variants of green, red and yellow. I believe these tones translate the washed vibe nicely, they instantly remind me of creepy parks... And abandoned wacky shacks! Also, what kind of art do you work with (if you don't mind the question) I'd like to see your work!

Love it, but feels like it's missing something. Additionally, is it possible to have compatibility like GMK Terminal? If DCS makes it cheaper and more colourful I'm all for it :D
This is a very beautiful set. Love the warm tone, will buy one when the gb is up

Yes it kinds of melancholic too in my eyes. My suggestion is to bring the color a bit more pastel (at least on the render, or change the lighting setup) to avoid confusion with GMK Cyan. I work on visual branding studio named SANROK Studio http://sanrokstudio.com/ but as we all know, no graphic design web is up to date :p
Wow, I love the colors on this set. If it's affordable and fits a Whitefox I'll have to get it. Any chance for a Colemak/Dvorak kit?
@mito, that sounds like a interesting idea, how would it look? What manufacturer are you thinking of? EnjoyPBT?
I agree with Vigrith I would buy as a bonus pack but would prefer to have the option. Still gonna buy regardless.
An idea for novelties. Maybe "closed for the season" legend for some keys. It's a bit sad though. But it gives some sort of "feelings" to it.
I prefer the straight up standard alphas personally if I were to have to choose - however, if you can include those highlights for a reasonable price as a bonus rather than straight up replacing the regular ones, then I'm absolutely all for it. Shouldn't be too hard right? Considering this is meant to be ran by an affordable manufacturer, I think that sounds feasible.
I like that joy land alpha differential idea. Something not common which would be cool to see. Only thing similar I know is the valentine pulse but it's not really the same. It would be neat to get actual "novelties" that made those letters similar font to the actual amusement park. Like where they are tilted on the logo. Could draw up a sample image if can't visualize.
All for helping those savage colevrak people out even though I'm a lame qwerty.
If we could ever get novelties, I think there could be plenty good potential for a symbols mod pack that utilize the park features as follows:
Roller coaster track as shifts
The figure 8 arrow on the logo mixture as the enter or backspace
Merry go round as caps/function
Ferries wheel as GUI key
Things of that nature.
The idea is indeed to offer a novelty kit with some cute symbols resembling the amusement park plus the JOYLAND pink highlights.I agree the bumper car and roller coaster car would be too much. Maybe some other type of amusement game? Ringtoss, Bullseye, hammer swing, skee ball? Maybe other things associated with parks: an entry ticket, cotton candy, popcorn container? Seems like there could be so many items to plow through :p
I believe that a a kit containing 10 novelty keycaps would be ideal, assuming that we already have 7 (JOYLAND letters) on pink we now need 3 icons of some sort. Your ideas are all great, I'm trying to come up with a bumper car icon, a carousel of some sort and I'd like to have a clown as well. I believe the carousel could potentially be hard to recognize, hence I thought about a roller coaster car. But assuming that we already go with the bumper car it could be a bit boring to have 2 cars and a clown. What do you guys think?
I love this! Is it being made or shelved?

Sorry to be a bearer of bad news, it seems the project has been completely killed off. Joyland has completely disappeared from mitormk's website as well. I too was very looking forward to this set, but alas doesn't seem like this kit is happening anytime soon.

But it gives some sort of "feelings" to it.This is a great idea, something like "out of order" would be nice as well... But how could we implement such a long phrase in small keycap? I couldn't think of a symbol that could represent this but perhaps you have some idea.
This is one gorgeous set, I hope it goes live!Me too.
