Color and Kits

R2 will use the same colors as R1 but with silver metallic flake in the plastic mix for reflective glints under light.
We’re speaking with GMK to see how we can make this happen and find the right particle density to avoid an overly glittery look.
Only two kits for now, but let me know what you’d like to see in the IC form.

Base kit

Light alphas kit

Renders

Renders by the excellent @its.hymn

Final silver metallic flake look will be based on samples to be requested, renders are rough approximations.

Collaborations

Tree13 Deskmat

Brand new artwork from illustrator tree13 (나무13)
900x400x4mm edge-to-edge print, stitched edges, woven texture, rubber bottom

Would appreciate an F13 in the base kit, and F1-F4 and F9-F12 in the alphas kit. Didn’t expect to see this today

100% agree on everything

Edit: Although it is true that it kinda makes sense having the metallic flakes, I do prefer by miles the original design, If it was my choice I would just rerun the original design as it was. Ofc imho, anyways I do wish you GLWI

Would love to see icons kit from r1 return. Glitter is interesting, but won't be sure if I like them better until there are some samples to look at.

x2 on the icon kit please

shay350 · « **Reply #6 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 16:48:15 »

love the deskmat design but I think it would look much nicer without the FUTURE FUNK 2 text bottom left. Definitely interested to see how the glitter caps turn out, would there be any samples before gb?

Flybeck · « **Reply #7 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 17:40:44 »

Love the set. Not the glitter!

GLWIC.

pott · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 17:50:47 »

Hey, thanks so much for reviving this, this is SUPER exciting and I've been waiting for FF for years!
I am confused about the glitter. How does it fit the theme? This being an IC, I will say I wouldn't buy it with the glitter. I will 100% get it with the old FF colors.

Silentism · « **Reply #9 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 17:56:35 »

Been waiting for some of the older sets to come back since GMK barely has a queue compared to before now! Is there any chance we could get the OG deskmat to come back tho? Really loved that one, and it was being resold for ridiculous prices every time I saw it on mm

minicap · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 18:00:44 »

Ahhhh awesome to see this back for R2, and I like the glitter - looking forwards to seeing the samples! Nice to give it a twist compared to R1

GLWIC!

TyPo.mk · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 18:13:00 »

There are very few sets I regret not joining gb for and this is one of them,

I personally love the glitter but I can see it being polarizing, I wonder if this set is hype enough for a separate glitter kit

badsport · « **Reply #12 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 18:14:10 »

It's also a 'no' from me on the glitter. Please consider a separate non-glitter base kit because I think the numbers are going to be there.

aicyborg · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 18:16:26 »

glitter sux

dinkle · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 18:37:38 »

no glitter pls

AMZ · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 18:41:47 »

Maybe 2 base kit one with glitter and the second one without glitter.

caap · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 19:00:31 »

hello - great set.

small thing - would it be possible to remove the "future funk 2" type from the deskmat? just so potential buyers could buy it without it be strictly attached to the keyset.

Piperaceae · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 19:36:14 »

Please keep the glitter. It's theme-appropriate, and sets this apart from both the first run, and pretty much anything else out there.

Kokaloo · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 19:50:21 »

YES SPARKLES
Please more bars especially if you're gonna have 1.5u supers include a 6u bar for hhkb weirdos

codog · « **Reply #19 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 19:54:59 »

love the glitter

Tsukuri · « **Reply #20 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 20:20:51 »

Hiragana or Katakana kits plz! I think can add MODE kit, that I but another alpha can use on 2 keyboards.

I think futurefunk is a Vapor waves' theme. It more like 70-80s Japanese nightlive. There is kirakira with neon anytime, certainty the glitter is great idea.

GrumioThaSpoonGod · « **Reply #22 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 21:36:40 »

Would like to see a shinethrough caps-lock.

Soulcook · « **Reply #23 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 21:44:41 »

Nah imo the glitter is fire, adds abit of flar to the board. Maybe just on the mods tho idk. Also i feel icons just look better so would love to see that. Other than that everything looks fire, esp the new deskmat

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #24 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 22:09:42 »

Light alphas also get glitter?

Own R1, I’d go again for this tho

garrdub · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 22:28:38 »

glitter is fire, keep it.

Bennettb · « **Reply #26 on:** Thu, 20 June 2024, 22:53:38 »

So happy this came back for r2!!

ashendarien · « **Reply #27 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 00:16:52 »

Glitter feels kinda unnecessary. Colors are already busy (and iconic.)

Please do icon mods and a hiragana/katakana/canjie mono kit. (Basically just re-release r1 please

)

Rhienfo · « **Reply #28 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 01:09:40 »

this was a surprise.

I know some people don't like the sparkles but I don't mind it, plus it fits into that future funk theme more IMO.

Agree with what people have said about the kitting with f13 and having a 6u bar along with mx hhkb (and maybe add 00 and = for those numpad users)

GLWIC

twitchytheinsideman · « **Reply #29 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 01:31:19 »

yess

add:
- icon mods
- 6u bar
- blue accent bars
- lots of artisan collabs

- and what neely said (F-keys)

ggggggg · « **Reply #30 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 01:50:00 »

A hundred times yes to glitter. Gimme ten thousand glitter.

offbrandbiscuit · « **Reply #31 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 02:32:53 »

This is probably the first time I've really liked the 'glittery' look (besides more on-theme sets like Cookies n' Creme), still does everything great that the original Future Funk did, but adds a kinda starry look to it! Curious, will the light alphas have the silver flake or nah? I think it'd be better without the flake since they're already a light colour. Might try and jump on this when it goes to GB!

Randomlosername · « **Reply #32 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 04:19:10 »

Not personally a fan of the glitter, but I get it haha. Maybe do two base kits? One with and one without? I think the numbers will be there for sure. Also wouldn’t mind some Hiragana Sub-legends 👀

konstantin · « **Reply #33 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 07:21:54 »

Personally, I would love to see glitter mods as a standalone kit, so R1 owners can use it as an expansion pack for their sets. This might also allow you to appease everyone who doesn't like glitter being the default choice in the base kit (although I dig it; it's FF2, after all, not FF R2).

As far as the kitting goes, as it currently stands, you can't fully cover a regular 1800/CP/96-key layout without using the R1 media keys from the base kit above the numpad. Which some users may want to do, but probably not everybody. The keys that are missing for a more common setup are white-legend R1 1u PgDn, End.

Consider replacing the second R4 1U Ctrl (which is seldom used on anything other than 40% ortho layouts) with a R4 1u Prev key, for another variant of the right column media keys setup. The R3 Next, R4 Prev keys could then also be used as a substitute for R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn for 65% layouts (these are currently missing from the kit).

Also, to mirror what other folks already said, F13 in base and white F1–F4 / F9–F12 keys in alphas.

lkkedward · « **Reply #34 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 08:15:44 »

would love to see spacebar kit (6u space bar in particular for hhkb support) and 40s kit

mr_foggy · « **Reply #35 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 11:19:12 »

I'd like FF to rerun with original colors. I get the glitter but the original colors are too iconic.
maybe offer separate glitter mods, or an extra basekit entirely. just don't force it please.

ryulinho · « **Reply #36 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 11:48:04 »

This is awesome! How about a re-run with the same colors, white letters on the F row and arrows, then a sparkly kit for extra flair?

Didn't GMK say they can't use some Future Funk colors anymore because of new eco rules since the first set? Are these colors the same as round 1?

CONIN · « **Reply #37 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 12:08:00 »

I've always liked this set's colours since R1, but the fact it doesn't have sub-legends have kept me away. Already filled the IC form, good luck!

bro there is nothing iconic about a set that ran on tkc five years ago and barely made moq

what are you smoking just enjoy the cool gimmick bro it's so fun

MrBingo · « **Reply #39 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 14:53:01 »

My body is ready for this set!
I like the glitter but i would like asweel one witout!

lampmk · « **Reply #40 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 14:56:59 »

Wow I am happy this is back. Perhaps an Icon mod kit would be nice to add? Also pls consider for small backspaces just icons or just text !!! pls pls pls

mongoose27 · « **Reply #41 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 17:06:07 »

I regret not jumping in on this on original GB...not letting that happen again.

But please, do remove that glitter.

YoungTerror · « **Reply #42 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 19:54:24 »

Very polarizing indeed. Not a fan of the glitter myself. As someone who missed R1 I'd rather have that then this. At least you are trying something different.

What are the chances of doing both OG and glitter to appease as many as possible?

Soulcook · « **Reply #43 on:** Fri, 21 June 2024, 23:29:02 »

Would you consider a Singapore/malaysia vendor? E.g. Ktechs, ilumkb, mecha. Just wondering

Macmutant · « **Reply #44 on:** Sat, 22 June 2024, 00:32:57 »

Im curious to see how the glitter would look. Either way, Im excited for R2 for this set

I agree with this one. It being a different design and how famous this set is, I think it's already understood that the deskmat is for the future funk r2
