[IC] GMK Classic Beige 1.25x mods, 1.75x rt shift, 6.25 space, center caps lock

[TBone]

1xbottom row and 1.25xbottom row Cherry Logos would be awesome! 
Even if pad printed, I'd still like them!
Something like this but without the window, maybe black?

[bueller]

Cherry logos aren't possible, GMK isn't allowed to make them without permission from Cherry.

The pad printed windows key is a turn off for me, I won't put pad printed keys on my boards. I second the suggestion of having a doubleshot W8 key.

[CommonCurt]

Great news.  What style win keys will be used?

I would like to go with old style winkeys, but I think they would have to be pad printed.

If you end up going with the win8 logo, please offer another option for those of us that don't like it.                                                                                                                                                      [/list]

[Sempre]

I'd suggest a simple "WIN" key.

[intelli78]

Will the set include space bars?

Strongly suggest you make 6.25x and 7x spacebars available as an add-on, because they seem to be so hard to find. I'm sure these options would be huge.

[Karura]

Just wondering, what will you people be using this set with?

Would be cool to know

[DanielT]

On my GON NerD60 Still need a cool aluminum case to go with, or maybe a GON case, don't know.

[Photekq]

It's worth noting that GMK pad printing can barely be considered pad printing. It's really, really great. When it's dark print on lighter keycap it's just as clear as doubleshot. No, really, it looks _exactly_ the same. I guarantee you can't tell the difference without taking macro photos. And.. since it has a clear coat it won't wear out for a long time.

That said, I think the best solution is to have 2 of each.

Thanks all for the input. It helps.

+1 here I like GMK pad printing, and to have the old Win logo it priceless I kind of hate the Win8 one, not a big fan.

[geniekid]

I would like to see an extra set with

R1 1u backslash/pipe
R2 1.5u backspace/delete
R3 1.75u control

Maybe this could be part of the set with the split R-shift since it's *HHKB-like*

[bueller]

Extra sets are mostly pointless unless they're color accent sets, the MOQ is killer.

[Orca]

interested in full set 

[geniekid]

I think you're right that most extra sets wouldn't make MOQ, but it might still be worthwhile to offer the kit to gauge interest for the future.

the vintage windows logo's detail is too small to be double-shot, the old double-shot logo like Sherry's GB is suck to me compared to the win8 one


//and yes, please, bring the A-profile back

Totally agree, I have both the old and new style windows keys in double shot and I much prefer the new style. In saying that it's not a deal breaker for me either way so long as there is a DS one included.

I don't mind the padded key after I see some of them in the origin Cherry set, really high quality printed

[IvanIvanovich]

Pad printing from GMK is good, and for those that are really concerned about wear they can always do them as side printed.

Additionally, and I may have said so before, but vintage Cherry came in a myriad of different beige shades, so the best thing to do on a beige modifier kit would be to go all the way so there are not any shade mismatches. Or at least do all of tab, caps, shifts, ctrls, alts, wins, menu, enter, backspace... and np enter, +, -, ÷, × and numlock so at least sections are all uniform.

[bazh]

I thought this would be going on as a full set?

[IvanIvanovich]

I was planning on doing inverse, so the alphanumerics are 'beige' and the mods and stuff is on 'white'.

[Photekq]

Yes, that's what I'm planning.

Does GMK offer any colours that come very close to any of the original colours? [I don't yet have a colour ring ]

[swornxin]

I would be in for a full set of classic beige if it were GMK. Or I'd be in for a 7x space bar alone if that were an option.

[Karura]

There are lots of sets out there that are only missing the 6.25u and 7u spacebar, so it would be really awesome if we could have an option just for that.

[cooldiscretion]

Is this still going to happen sometime after the Dolch GB finishes up?  I was pretty excited about that.

[Patchwrks]

definitely interested but definitely want a 7x spacebar to go along with it

Yes, will probably start it in the next few week.


N9 legend with U9 alphas and L9 mods. Essentially Goupil colorway but flipped like Commodore.

Sorry if this has been answered already, but about how long until this GB starts?

[Photekq]

Sorry if this has been answered already, but about how long until this GB starts?

Hopefully November. It would be sooner, but don't want to get in the way of another GB that will be coming soon from someone else

Are you talking about Hyperfuse GMK? I can't wait for that one!

But don't worry, I'll buy your set as well

Actually I think the L9 is a little bit more "lime color" than the original cherry

[IvanIvanovich]

Lime color? AE is the one closest to lime color. I think your display must be broken as it's L9 more like one of those 'bisque' color shades.

I am sorry, i shouldn't say lime color, i just don't know how to describe it.  but the color of the gmk one and the original one are quite different

Which one is GMK? Left?
The right just looks more white to me, left one looks a little yellower, maybe.

the left one is GMK.  I have placed the left one under no direct sun light, so there should be no yellowing

I believe that the different shades of double shot layers affect the outer second shot colour. I'll take some pics of some GMK keys in a few. Hopefully it'll be noticeable in picture.

I doubt that very much, keen to see pics though if you're sure.

Only have phone pics for now, since I don't have a macro lens yet  (Camera failed miserably at focusing on the keys)
I took the following two pics last week when I was discussing colours combinations with some friends: (Took the pics at night, so colour shift is a bit exaggerated)

GMK "Raindrop" down arrow key. N5 blue on UN0001. You can see the blue actually made the creamier white "colder". For reference, GMK UN0001 white is a warmer tone than Vortex PBT White.


----------

I just took the following two pics right now:

GMK "Red Alert" arrow keys.
CP white on V1 Red. IRL, the side walls of these keys are a touch lighter than the V1 Red from the GMK colour ring.


Another shot of the GMK "Raindrop" arrow key. N5 blue on UN0001 white. Whites on the arrow key is a touch colder:

*Blue is a bit off from the real thing (on my monitor set to sRGB at least)

Mhm, it came as part of the sampler kit I requested. I've got lots of ideas for GMK GBs.  Don't want to derail the thread anymore, so IC ideas will come soon.

Looking forward to it. As another fellow BC person, I don't mind helping out if you need assistance.

[dustinhxc]

Uhhhhh how the hell do I buy this? These are the EXACT keys missing from my g80 set.. I'm 100% interested. Please for the love of God no windows 8 logos... I may go for a full set with ISO. Forsure 1.25 more 1.75 right shift, center stem caps, and 6.25 spacebar.

[tuantruong]

I'm interested as well, especially with that 1.75x shift, could we add a windowed capslock?

[lightsout714]

WHatever happened to talk of a full classic beige set? Still holding out hope it will happen.
