Just wondering around the double pipe key for ISO layout.
Is it worth just making it Terminal/US ISO with R3 [\|] and R4 [><]?
For US user, I would use ANSI standard. The ISO keys I put in Base kit is for UK minimum ISO layout.

I changed the theme of keyset to Japanese theme, check it out if you're interest and please fill the IC form for me to improve the keyset.

why lol, there's no need other than "i want hiragana sublegends!!".
Hi dudeship, you are a great designer. I joined your GB KAT Great Way and I am excited about it.
Yeah honestly I just want Hiragana sublegends. But I'm trying to be professional man ;-;

If that set exists, I would name it "Natsu Dragneel" instead of just "Natsu". (I'm a fan of Fairy Tail too)

I don't know why, but I kinda like it, reminds me of striker but in orange. I personally have no use for that bright orange, but I could imagine it looks good on some boards. GLWIC

You forgot to put 1.75u backspace and 1.5u enter in your 40s kit.

Yes I'm reviewing it and will put the missing key to 40s kit.

I know a ton of people have commented on how the sudden change to a Japanese name with hiragana was kinda out of nowhere and random, but with the novs it's even more confusing. A set with a Japanese name, hiragana subs, and Japan-inspired novelties, but in the description you said it was inspired by the sunsets in Sicily?  :confused:

They look alright though. I like the chemical formula one.

Yeah the beginning of the idea is coming from Sicily. But to avoid the keyset from flop and potentially not reaching the MOQ (even though the MOQ is only 150) so I want to change the theme to Japan insprired. And more importantly I am weeb. Thanks for your reply.

Because this is orange and has the R4 "|\" key (terminal ISO bad) I am willing to overlook the sudden pivot to Japenese theme. Realistically though I think you will struggle with two base sets, and the novelties are kinda all over the place...

Let me do a research for a few day for the R4 "| \" key and I will update the base kit.

When I saw the name and color, I thought this set was based on “amanatsu” (甘夏 which directly translates to sweet summer). It’s basically a Japanese orange. Anyway, not sure if you’re aware of the fruit, but it could potentially be a good pivot if you went full in on an amanatsu theme since amanatsu is used in a juices and ice creams and candies. It might give this set a more cohesive feel compared to having a mix of orange slices and torii and what looks like Mt. Fuji.

I am a UK ISO user. Double pipe is just a random set of keys to me 😅
Would just rather follow a layout than none at all.

Aww Amanatsu is such a beautiful name. I asked some of my Japanese friends but no one give me that name. And also your suggestion about the theme of novelties is so useful, I will think about it seriously.

After I read this: Why Do Keycap Sets have so many Copies of the Backslash‑Pipe Key?
I will add the "> <" key to the base, it will take a few days for me.

I'm gonna go on a limb and suggest that if you're going to use hiragana sublegends and Japanese imagery, that you do your due diligence to pick something that's a bit more fleshed out in terms of your theme. It's not wrong to have your set include Japanese sublegends because you want it to, nor would it be my place to tell you not to make a set with a Japanese theme. But in your current state, your novelties and treatment of the Japanese cultural icons are questionable. It'd just be nice if your set wasn't slapping on religious imagery just for aesthetic purposes without regards for what or why they exist. Especially in conjunction with the soap thing. It'd be like making an Italian themed set with pizza novelties next to a few crosses next to the chemical symbol of charcoal, if you're catching my drift.

In the interest of not tearing you down completely, I'd definitely echo what the other person said and suggest pivoting to an orange theme. My recommendation is mikan, which is a variety of citrus that's close to a tangerine and very culturally significant. Hopefully you can take that direction! But please do your due diligence to research before you make changes to this set.

Thank you very much for your opinion.
Your comments made me think for many days to make the final decision to keep the design as simple as possible (like before).
