[IC] GMK Regal | Group Buy Live

[aeryxz]

Finally a base set that truly is based as. Text and icons, chefs kiss. Don't need to buy various random kits to make a "base" kit, chefs kiss. Mega support so you don't have to find random child kit after market when you've forgotten, chefs kiss.

[Cujo96]

Everyone ripping on this but forgetting GMK Wild and DCS Deadbeats lmao

[Puddsy]

base kit is unhinged but just split the novs out and i think it's fine

people sent me this thread and acted like you had committed a war crime or something

[sirieous]

Will be interested to see price on this when it goes live eventually. Hopefully not too bad cause I am keen to get a set.

[succulentdan]

Personally I'd move the novs to a separate kit because I hate novelty AND fun, other than that this set looks very good. Maybe remove what 40 support there is because I also hate 40% users with a burning passion.

You’re just an absolute ray of sunshine and daises, aren’t you?

[gotgoodiez]

I think if you fixed your kitting a bit this would be a great set. IMO pair down the novelties (the buck doesn't really seem "regal" like the other ones) or just move it to its own kit; Move your windows keys and supers to the extension kit and last one is you might not need all the accent spacebars as it will probably make that extensions kit quite a bit. On a different note maybe use a stock white if you can find it but beyond that glwic!

[soundstage]

So your plan is to buy out at wholesale from lead vendor. Will that translate into you selling it to end users directly at a slightly higher price from wholesale price?

[konstantin]

That's one huge base kit.

I suggest removing the Windows keys and moving the novelties to a separate kit (though I'd maybe keep one or two of them in the base kit just for flavor).

[JonoColwell]

Update Time:

I've got the quotes back for the kit with the novelties split out, most people seem to not want the novelties in base and someone pointed out that I would have to store a ****load of base kits to have all the novelties that I want, on that basis I've split out the base and novs.

[傻子]

will it has a CN vendor？
hope itwill be Zfrontier or KBDfans

[rainkeebs]

nice kitting update. you still forgot the rest of the 40s keys tho. the literal 2 that are needed to support *most* 40s. they dont even have an incorrect legend alternative. dunno what the thinking was there, unless there wasnt any...

[less_blank]

Why no 1u R4 novelties?

I mean, so far 100% of the (single) 40% people that I've actually spoken to about this have been adamant of two things

• The set must support 40%
• They are not buying it

Are you actually interested in buying it?

I am not. I don't care if you have 40s support, but if you're going to "have" it you should at least actually have it. Either have all 3 keys or none I don't care. But it's a waste of money for everyone if you have just the one 1.75u backspace key.

For the last time, minivan needs the 1.75u backspace key, yes. BUT it ALSO needs the SAME 1.25u r3 tab that every other staggered 40% uses, as well as a r3 1.5u enter key. You do not have minivan support, you have the funny backspace key. That is not 40s support, that is not minivan support, it is literally wasting every single buyers money. Read what I am saying and listen to it. I am trying to help you man. You said it yourself that you don't even know what the **** 40s are, I DO. And I am telling you the solution to a problem. Fix the problem, or remove the problem, don't keep defending it.

that is proper 3 key support. good job!

[conternecticus]

Novelties separate kit we are all happy now
Personally I like the idea of a huge base kit. GLWIC!

[Botty212]

no R2 and R3 novelties but 100 novelties for R1 and R4.....
cant even use half the novelties even if you are using a tkl

[JonoColwell]

What would you even use r2 and r3 novelties for?

[VXQN]

What would you even use r2 and r3 novelties for?

Macro/65% nav column.

[x-starburst-x]

love this set

[zzkhan1996]

I think that you should separate the spaces and macro into 2 kits

[XiXora]

Kit is almost fine but please please one more r4 1u alt for HHKB/Mac 7u, everything else is there for it.

Of my 5 40s, not one is minivan/"basic 40s" (I'm mostly 12u). Slightly amusing but I'm not asking for it.

Looking forward to seeing this on your wombat

[Getsome!!!]

As much as i absolutely hate the color the yellow (seriously, worst color ever) and the Lakers, I think i still prefer phantom. The yellow came off as more of a gold, probably just my preconceived notions of what "regal" colors are.

Phantom the render or phantom the set? That’s closer to butter beige than it is to yellow or gold.

 Phantom the keycap set. What's "phantom the render"?
Just happened to stumble upon this looking at desk mats, might work well for people interested in this set. https://www.redbubble.com/i/mouse-pad/Purple-Fleur-de-lis-by-muskitt/41192870.GAP22

[superdoedoe]

please remove 40%'s

[genevatypes]

idc what other ppl are saying but this base kit is sexy. i love you

[JonoColwell]

I'll take that under consideration.

Also no.

I'll think about it but personally when I was using a HHKB for the week that I had it I mapped one of the alts to function/layer 1 so I could actually use the bloody thing. I'd also say you could use the super keys for that, it's not perfect but it does solve the issue.

What would you even use r2 and r3 novelties for?

Macro/65% nav column.

Macro column is sorted with the macro set in extension, I'd either have to make a call on a single artisan to cover all the rows with or add another 28 novelties to get all of the novelties on these rows for an extremely niche use case when a lot of people use function keys or novelties on the XT columns in off sculpt from what I've seen at meetups.

Or you know, resin if they're ballers.

In addition 65% is supported by actual keys that are mapped there as standard so it's supported in base anyway.

I have phantom on my desk right now, it doesn't look like the renders at all, the yellow of phantom is definitely more like a butter yellow than what's in the renders.

No thanks.

[hottrout]

LOVE the colour.  In on this.

Do you not use the Fn next to the right shift or is this why you added two r4 1u Fn to the kit? I use Super keys for my OS keys, that's out.
Just an odd choice to leave out that second 1u alt for two 1.5u super kits.

To be honest most of what I did with my HHKB was dislike it and offload it as soon as possible. However let me have a think about it.

[Wolff._.]

I love that purple is the same color as Future funk.
Will pick up a relegenable kit, but really would like a normal spacebars kit as well.

[BasedCoper]

now that's what a base kit should look like

[santela]

Lol seems like a lot of back and forth for the base kit to get where it is now, although it is probably still the largest base kit I've seen.

I like the colors and the novelty, but tbh the deer kinda feels outta place. It looks more like a hunting/wildlife kinda deer and not really a royalty/majestic kind.

[JonoColwell]

UPDATE: 25-05-2022

• Updated novelty renders to use accepted art from GMK
• Added collaborations
• Added Deskmats
• Updated all kits to latest version
• There is a hibi cap just waiting on renders, that has also been confirmed for manufacturability

[ee]

as a 40s hater i confirm i will buy this set

[JonoColwell]

Update 31-05-2022

• Added hibi cap renders
• GB date announced

[udller]

that hibi cap is boss. its the Rolly Royce of metal key-cap artisans.

[Jho]

Nice and cool theme. Absolutely love that HIBI keycap.

[mr_foggy]

finally an actual BASE kit.
or should I say BASED.

idgaf about 40% but just keep the basic support if it makes them shut up

[hottrout]

+1 for the BIG base kit.  Like a lot.

[guypigeotto]

based and purplepilled

[VXQN]

Am I missing something or is there no R2 Esc for 40s compatibility? There's a R3 Tab and short Enter...

[ankit]

3-key 40s support doesn't usually include r2 esc from what I understand but since this base kit is so big already I agree that it should have been added.
