please consider icon mods

I kinda like it

mrpetrov · « **Reply #3 on:** Sat, 04 May 2019, 22:40:18 »

I started reading and was like god damn do we need another pink themed gmk set and then by the end of the OP I needed to have it. My daughter saw me looking at it as well so that sealed the deal.

I would say I prefer the pink in the 910 and TKL renders, seems a little more muted and less hot - but I'm happy to go with whatever you decide of course, it's your set and your vision.

It's pretty difficult to show the exact pink digitally, the first three renders were a bit too saturated compared to my swatch, I've slightly desaturated those and replaced the images. Hopefully if all goes well and I have plastic samples, I'll have a better comparison.

ArchDill · « **Reply #5 on:** Sun, 05 May 2019, 00:32:19 »

Oddly enough, I actually like this.

rrsurmeier · « **Reply #6 on:** Sun, 05 May 2019, 00:46:32 »

this would be cool with hiragana... and weeb novelties.

Pluto19 · « **Reply #7 on:** Sun, 05 May 2019, 02:55:52 »

This is cute. I likey.

futurecrime · « **Reply #8 on:** Sun, 05 May 2019, 04:10:26 »

Ha. I was working on a yellow on pink set but this is close enough. I’d get it.

nguyenhimself · « **Reply #9 on:** Sun, 05 May 2019, 05:51:20 »

Now that is aggressively pink.

Vigrith · « **Reply #10 on:** Sun, 05 May 2019, 09:52:50 »

Love the colours, definitely do not love the text only mods. It's by far my least favourite iteration, icon text, Cherry icons and icon only are honestly all better for almost every set.

vicissitude · « **Reply #11 on:** Sun, 05 May 2019, 10:06:57 »

Count me in.
Like this pink keyset.

tex_live_utility · « **Reply #12 on:** Sun, 05 May 2019, 19:27:23 »

Cute, and I like the all-text mods. Ultimately but not for me, though.

knazze · « **Reply #13 on:** Sun, 05 May 2019, 20:05:08 »

xondat · « **Reply #14 on:** Sun, 05 May 2019, 21:45:25 »

I love it, just worry about contrast but I'm sure that'll be sorted.

hineybush · « **Reply #20 on:** Mon, 06 May 2019, 11:35:59 »

icons would be good

consider switching to a RAL color or an SP colorchip as they're easier for GMK to match

kema · « **Reply #21 on:** Mon, 06 May 2019, 11:59:46 »

Thanks for all the feedback about your preferences for modifier legends, I've added a section for that in my IC form as well so please "vote" there! Personally I prefer text only mod because it's more consistent and minimal but I wouldn't mind icon+text if that wins.

megaforce · « **Reply #22 on:** Mon, 06 May 2019, 13:33:33 »

i really love this set

is adorable

but OG icon would make it more bubbly and cuter af than text only.

OG icon == icons on tab, backspace, enter, shift, caps lock. Home cluster icons and bottom row icons are grounds for domestic terrorism indictments.

and offer some 1u rama artisan pink wave

kema · « **Reply #24 on:** Mon, 06 May 2019, 19:36:08 »

Received a lot of responses regarding modifier legends today and based on those I've decided to go with Icon + text mods with an all text bottom row (like GMK WoB), thanks to everyone who filled out the form!

Also I'll reach out to Rama Works to see if they'd be open to work on a matching artisan for this set.

Vigrith · « **Reply #25 on:** Mon, 06 May 2019, 19:42:39 »

If this keyset gets picked up for GB there will be a Rama Works matching artisan!

mimalik · « **Reply #28 on:** Thu, 09 May 2019, 12:59:57 »

Yummy....mix it with gmk choclatier and some beige alphas from carbon or alike, and you can have GMK Neapolitan.

Hi friends, I have some news, Novelkeys has agreed to run the groupbuy for this set but it won't be for awhile (Jan 2020), in the meantime I'll work on finalizing the layouts, getting more renders, and figuring out deskmat and Rama artisan designs.

Currently ideating, but maybe a white keycap with simple peach blossom engraving and pink enamel infill!

Pennywise359 · « **Reply #35 on:** Sun, 12 May 2019, 17:15:51 »

I would love to build a keyboard for my wife with this set. And also I wish it was a JTK set, so many people are coming up with new nice gmk sets, you people have no mercy to my wallet lol.

kema · « **Reply #36 on:** Mon, 13 May 2019, 19:14:34 »

Planning on including some accent keys, thoughts on these?

May also add ortho kit and a few desk pad options

+1 more hot pink accents

kelasol · « **Reply #38 on:** Sun, 19 May 2019, 15:27:27 »

Hot Pink or White accents! Glad this set isn't for a bit, Q3 is going to be insane.

DuellM · « **Reply #39 on:** Sun, 19 May 2019, 16:38:08 »

Yeah, Definitely Hot Pink and maybe White or Navy Blue.

SKY BLUE

PLEASE

hot pink accent looks v nice, hoping there will be accent colour spacebars as well~
also really like the sound of the rama artisan

vicissitude · « **Reply #42 on:** Tue, 21 May 2019, 07:48:25 »

Nice to hear the GB date.
Still wish for novelties.

_haru · « **Reply #43 on:** Tue, 21 May 2019, 18:12:35 »

IMHO this set works better without novelties - the cleanness of the single background colour/text colour is what sets it apart from other GMK colourways (pun intended).

But of course there is still no harm in running novelties, as long as the normal caps are present

NICHUY01 · « **Reply #44 on:** Wed, 22 May 2019, 19:28:01 »

i'm in for these! love the pink

My thoughts as well, a simple keyset along the lines of Minimal and Striker. Still thinking about what exact color accents to include if any though.

kema · « **Reply #46 on:** Thu, 23 May 2019, 18:44:25 »

Also here's the Rama collab artisan, it looks great!
E-white aluminum keycap with matching pink enamel infill!

Why is the GB so far away? I understand 3-4 months, but 7 is a lot...

Scheduling. If something opens up we may be able to push this sooner... But there are sets that I have committed to until then.

Although, I have been toying with the idea of having two sets running.

kema · « **Reply #49 on:** Fri, 24 May 2019, 21:29:40 »

Hey friends, I need some help with this 40s/split/ortho kit, are there any keys that are missing or don't need to be in here?

Edit: looked a bunch of other sets being run and added 2u shift for Cod67 and similar layouts, I see GMK Cafe has a 1.75u backspace and 1.25u/1.5u enter but couldn't find any layouts that needed those. Thinking this looks pretty good as is unless someone mentions otherwise!

Also mentioning the 4 kits will be: Base, Numpad/ISO, 40s/ortho, and Spacebars
