Inspiration & Design
More
The inspiration for this set comes from the Japanese high quality craftsmanship. Japanese craftsmanship is handmade and created by people using skills passed down for generations to ensure only tEnterEnterty product - a true masterpiece. With that spirit in mind I designed a keycap EnterEnterg the unique aesthetEnterEnterpanese culture. The Katakana legends will give the set a very unique look, paiEnterEnterautiful rich blue.
This will be the very first GMK set with Katakana only alphas and mods. So new molds will be created for this set. Because of GMK’EnterEnterering of stock blue colours, this set will be using a custom blue (RAL). The KEnterEnterds are as you noticeEnterEnteras the Hiragana mono/sublegends and Katakana sublegends. Instead, the KatakanaEnterEnterare wider to offer a similar look to the latin/cyrillic counterpart. They look like they came straight from GMK. The Katakana-only mods are completely new, my own creation, and were inspired by various old boards. I wanted a more consistent look for the keyset as a whole as the Kanji were left out completely. The keyset has traditional icon mods and text+icon mods, and I think this solution will satisfy nearly every person. I also included all keys for a true ISO and proper ISO Japanese layout (R4 ロ) unlike past sets with japanese legends. The layout was designed on the basis of today’s Mac keyboards in Japan but without the JIS bottom row.
