As a follow up to the intensive community contribution, so we could improve the design of Hiragana and both Novelties Laser GMK kits, I’d like to present an update and gather feedback about the current version of said kits!

I’m going to offer a special alphas only hiragana kit, for the people who appreciate the japanese culture and it’s ties with the Cyberpunk genre. I’d like to request feedback about what’s your preferred version:

Gaijin – Latin Legends & Hiragana Sublegends

– Latin Legends & Hiragana Sublegends Hybrid – Hiragana Alphas & Latin Number/Punctuation

– Hiragana Alphas & Latin Number/Punctuation Hiragana – Hiragana Monolegends

You can see renders displaying each of the versions below, don’t forget to vote!

We initially had two different novelty kits and after extensive community feedback and design contribution I merged both kits into one. The balance between 1980’s and Cyberpunk references was kept and the included novelties (as you can see in the render above) are as following:

Classic retrowave sunset

A cyberdeck terminal

Brazilian DEX pill from Neuromancer

DeLorean’s flux capacitor from Back to the Future

There’s also a magenta sunset and a dashboard green Esc. A fuel orange WASD cluster was added in order to complement the Esc/Enter dashboard green keycaps, together with a magenta arrow cluster and the iconic pair of 1.25u 88 digital keycaps to ressemble the classic Windows logo while referencing Back to the Future as well. There’s also a pair of 1.25u DMC DeLorean keycaps.
