GMK CYL Ramu Fans
Ramu Fan is a keycap set inspired by one of my favorite Japanese soda drinks, ラムネ (Ramu Bottle). Specifically, the wonderful grape flavour. The set includes the base keys plus some (still work in progress) novelties.

If there is interest, Ramu Fans may be available in three flavors. Grape, Melon & Strawberry.

Base Kit
The base kit includes a second set of arrow keys for those that love the blue.

Hiragana Alphas
For those seeking to have the Hiragana sub legends, you can do so with the alpha kit.

Novelties
Alongside some fun keycaps inspired by Japan, there’s also a full set of fruity caps for all the ramune flavors.

Would love any and all feedback.

Thank you for your time, and happy holidays to you and yours!

Some updates!

Did a big iteration on the novelty set and I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

After some feedback, the base kit will have Latin alphas, with an optional Hiragana alpha kit. There was also an ask for an international kit.

Fun set. The colors really pop and look very crisp and clean. I like it!

That numrow R1 novelties is so nice and unique. I really like it without hiragana.

@pixelpusher and @keyboardman Thank you both for the kind words! Much appreciated.

Beautiful set! Are you considering 40 support?

@ZipandaDubleCup Thank you! It is something I am happy to support, I’ve had someone else ask for it in the IC form.

Happy Tuesday ya’ll!

Hope your week is treating you well. A nice update for Ramu Fan today.

After evaluating the comments on the initial IC form, I’ve decided to just focus on the grape flavor in this initial release. Strawberry needs some love and Melon seemed to be liked as well but not as much as Grape.

Wanted to thank all of you who filled out the form, your support means a lot! Based on the comments, here are some updates:

• Base kitting has seen a revision. Some of the heavy blue accents have been removed (and pushed into a blue accent extension kit for those that love it). Base kit also now includes better spacebar support.

• Added some 1u and 1.5u keys to the novelty kit, with two new designs. (and one borrowed from my Melon Cream set)

• New IC form!
