[IC] GMK WoB Mod Addon-Kit

[superdoedoe]

GMK WoB Mod Addon Kit

Hey Folks, Looking to run an add-on for GMK WoB. Initially wanted to just rerun GMK Black Modi, but somehow completely veered off that path and ended up with this instead. The idea is to keep the kit as small as possible.

Firstly a Render:



Here's a Mockup of the proposed Kit:







Vendors:
Oceania: DailyClack - https://dailyclack.com/
US: TBD
EU: TBD

Pricing: TBD (hoping for sub $50)

GB Date: Tentatively January 2020.

MOQ: 150

Please tell me what you think, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Google Form: https://forms.gle/vxZCDLTCPeR1dDq8A



Updates 1.0

• 1.25u Keys for Alt & Control
• Looking at different legends for the winkey
• Either adding the following for R3: Stepped Caps, Non-Stepped Caps
• Added winkeys (Super) & Menu key

Initial Kit Proposal:

[LightningXI]

I approve of this interest check.

We've already talked about suggestions I would make, but I'm sure someone else would mention it. I hope this comes to fruition!

edit: added my comments a few messages below.

[gnhuy91]

ne icon mods avail

[foo4542]

I'm keen. Would like to see some 1.25u keys too.

[PeenixStarr]

I like that you're leaving the 1.25u bottom row out. Barely anyone who buys GMK uses it.

[LightningXI]

I'll outline the changes I came up with:

1. 1.25u support

2. R5 bottom row for bottom-row modifiers (that'd also give full R5 support for any WoB owners! 2-in-1 bonus)

3. Non-windowed stepped Caps Lock -- pretty sure any windowed caps are pad-printed.

4. Changing "Win" to "Super" ("Super" is already available in R5 as well, in all 1u, 1.25u, and 1.5u forms).

5. Consider a R1 1u tilde key with magenta legend (for HHKB symmetry)

I agree with these suggestions!

Agree with this. Particularly interested in non-Win GUI keys and 1.5u GUI keys.

[jani80k]

Ne Icon Mods avail.

[ideus]

I concur with the win to super legends switch. An Alt Gr is appropriate considering that this comes with 1.5u mods. On the 1.25u mods, their inclusion requires 7 additional keys that may increase the pricing of the set well out of the original set's target price. I'd be inclined to prefer the set if it comes with R5 profile, instead of the regular R4, that is standard for 1.25u mods.

[jani80k]

R5 doesnt make sense because on TKL arrows are R4 still.

Admittedly, you're right. That's my blunder not thinking about that.

I'm one of those people who happens to own an R5 containing set.

If arrows cannot be added, I'll stick to R4 then. All good.

[jani80k]

Regarding the 'Win' to 'Super' discussion. I prefer the mold introduced by Yugo called 'Sys' or 'System'.

[Jaxxstatic]

Windowed caps are definitely pad printed. I’m in with that one change. Everything else, I’m down for whatever happens.

[ideus]

Regarding the 'Win' to 'Super' discussion. I prefer the mold introduced by Yugo called 'Sys' or 'System'.

Most people around here prefer anything over the windows legend. I'd take anything but the win one.

I used to be a 'Super' guy til 'System' came around.

Feels bad. I must be the minority on liking win legends. Will definitely look into using a different icon for the winkey then! I was thinking of using the "#!", which solarised dark uses as well.

Regarding the Win-Key. There are a few options to choose from, Namely;
- #!
- super
- sys / System
- Windows logo

I'm open to any changes regarding this, just fill out the form and leave a response with this information or comment in the thread.

I'll outline the changes I came up with:

1. 1.25u support

2. R5 bottom row for bottom-row modifiers (that'd also give full R5 support for any WoB owners! 2-in-1 bonus)

5. Consider a R1 1u tilde key with magenta legend (for HHKB symmetry)

Regarding R5. I will ask for a quote for them, but R5 isn't a massive concern, nor high on the priority list for this set. There's already another IC going on at the moment that had was proposing an R5 kit already.

Regarding your other suggestions, I will be adding the 1.25u mods, but at this stage, I'd rather not add both a windowed and non-windowed caps lock key. I might at a later stage change the control key to a caps lock though, meaning the kit will have both Windowed and Non-windowed caps lock keys, but no Control key for R3.

The goal is to keep this kit as cheap as possible.

Ne Icon Mods avail.

The one thing I won't add. 

[would?]

nice one doe, I'll be picking this one up for sure. As long as that stepped caps stays windowed ill be happy

[beamingrobot]

i'm in, can prob proxy for a few SG folks i suppose

[pngu]

I love this. My thoughts:

- Ideally I'd prefer 125 to be left out but I understand if the majority wants it in.
- No strong feelings about the 'Win' legends, anything but Windows icon please.
- As jani80k pointed out, R5 wouldn't really make sense here unless you were to also include accented arrows, which people might like for TKLs.
- I couldn't care less about HHKB layout but I don't think dropping the R3 Control in favor of a doubleshot stepped Capslock would be a good move. The latter should rather just be added.
- The icon vs text+icon discussion should be looked into but after all that's purely a matter of taste rather than actual compatibility. I do have to say that I prefer icons, especially on something that's rather sleek in the way that classic WoB is, and the 125 Shift and 150 Backspace would look better if this was icon mods.

Either way, I'm stoked for this and would join for the kit as is. Just, for the love of god, keep ISO in

[Zurg Eon]

I'm down. I agree with most suggestions ITT.

[irneb]

Yes please

But please no Win or Win icon

[ttom]

Love this, only thing I’d ask for is the r2 1.5u delete being changed to backspace. I’m probably in regardless though

[DJSwayde]

Yes.

[Atlantic]

great kit! crossing my fingers for the bottom row being r5

[mrkantz]

Nice, I'm in for this set. No need for r5 personally

[superdoedoe]

Ignore the sketchy-ness of the pic.

Few things to note:

• I think it might be for the best that win-keys are left out.
• Added x1, 1.25u Alt & Control
• Added x1 Stepped Caps-Lock (window Free!)
• Will be adding a Tilde Key as well (matching ESC)

Will be getting a new kit picture made.

the removal of a win key seems dumb to me. changing the legends seemed to be what people wanted, I think that's a better option.

also, change the delete legend to backspace for split BS users

Worst case I add pipe as well, but I don't see a BS key being added there.

Regarding win-keys. I'm still open to suggestions but, the aim of this is to keep the kit pretty small, to keep pricing down and I don't really see them being a necessity.

[Hapi]

could you please add R3 1,5 function key, please? 

[dallman5]

Looks pretty good to me. I’m fine with leaving the win and menu keys out personally, but you’re gonna need 2x 1.25 Alt/Ctrl not just 1x and I think a |/ would be nice to include as well to go with the tilde.

[superdoedoe]

For the 1.5u Pipe key - did you guys want "Delete" or "Backspace"

I'm leaning towards the delete option myself. It doesn't feel cramped when compared to the 1.5u Backspace key to me and i think it just looks better.

Nice. I agree with some of the points already given:
R5 would make this a must buy for me.
Super legended winkeys would be good.
I prefer delete to backspace for the R2 1.5u.

Backspace please, also would love to see winkeys back with 'Super' legends. I know the kit would be getting quite big with those so I can see why you wouldn't though.

[Poesjuh]

In with a 1.5 backspace instead of delete, and inclusion of 1.25u bottom row. Out without at least the 1.25u mods.

Did Pngu make this render? 

[wholypantalones]

Do want.

Needs 2x 1.25 Alt/Ctrl though and I would prefer to have the super keys for at least 1.25 and maybe tsangan bottom row.

[yaya]

Needs full 1.25 bottom row support and a numpad enter would be nice.

[pixelpusher]

I like the idea a lot, but I already bought sky modo accents

Ye, I'll buy a couple of these. Nice idea.

[azhdar]

Icon and AltGr pls.

[superdoedoe]

Updated current kit.

I'll be asking for a quote for this kit and an additional quote with the following caps added to the kit:

2x 1u win
2x 1.25u win
1x 1.25u menu

[Hapi]

the function key should be the same size as the caps lock. otherwise it is perfect

[superdoedoe]

(Attachment Link)

The function key is for those anomalies that use 40% layout.

[Hapi]

I think a lot of people use caps lock as a function key mainly on 60% layout.

Please add AltGr. At least one 1.5u

[stoffelduss]

Why would menu be more important than a non-control 1.75u key? I'd take non-stepped capslock or function over menu, please

[Hapi]

one caps lock is enough. let vote if with the ice window or without.

[stoffelduss]

one caps lock is enough. let vote if with the ice window or without.

that's also true. who would mind the window anyway? looks cool even without an LED behind.

It seems to me that the windowed Caps is gonna stay no matter what because the OP wants it there.

[Hapi]

why not. Its better function, control and 2 caps lock. Why 3 of them...

• R3 1.75u Function
• System or Super for winkey legends
• Fn instead of Menu for the 1.25u key

Few questions;
- I’m sure you’ve considered 1.5 backspace instead of delete
- R1 colored delete if you go for the above?

But, glad you included a full bottom row

Modern Dolch is a light gray color, this is for White on Black, which is well, black. Might look weird, but give it a try.
