[IC] GMK Merlin GB set for 8/8
« on: Wed, 04 April 2018, 10:40:06 »
Hello and welcome to my GMK "Merlin" IC. If you've been here before, you'll know that this was formerly known as GMK Cerulean Sage. While I like Cerulean Sage as a name better, it makes me think of Pokemon, and I think there's a magic card named after it. Also GMK Merlin is a lot easier to pronounce than GMK Cerulean Sage.

If you've never heard of me before, here's a quick tidbit about myself. I've been part of the community since early 2015 and started my journey as an Alps aficionado. I have run two GBs for the community for Duck weights, I host the MechMerlin YouTube and Twitch channels, and I'm also the QMK Community Ambassador. This is my first foray into the world of keyset design, I hope you like it! 

This set is mainly inspired by my favorite colors blue and yellow and my favorite keysets Nautilus and Triumph Adler. I am also a huge fan of light colored keysets.

Renders
219580-0
219582-1
219578-2

Special thanks to Undercover Brother for generating these while we wait for the official Kono ones.
224394-3

Colors

I’m very adamant about using GMK stock colors to make the set affordable and also reduce issues with color matching. I am very inexperienced with this, and I would like to point out that I'm partially color-blind when it comes to the color purple lol.

CP White: As seen on GMK Stormtrooper and GMK Olivia
TU1 Blue: As seen on GMK Triumph Adler and Aero
N6 Yellow: As seen on the legends of GMK Nautilus

Special thanks to donut_cat for providing actual cap photos of the colors I have chosen:

219570-4
219572-5
219574-6

Compatibility

*These are also from Undercover Brother

224396-7
224398-8


UPDATE: Kono is now running the IC on their website. The GB is set for Thursday August 8, 2019 to September 5th. Feel free to check it out:
https://kono.store/products/gmk-merlin-keycap-set

Things to Note:
1. First set to have QMK novelties
2. All stock colors
3. You can use the spacebar for GMK Olivia =P

Nice looking colorway, and you don't have to worry about similarity to Fate at least since that won't be going forward.

Hmm, is there another reason other than, "it should be default?". Do you think the accent arrows should go in a kit then?

I don't know about others, but I usually use mod colors on arrow, ESC, and enter keys. So having all that possible in base kit is what I prefer. If sometimes I wanna change to accent color, I would be happy to buy it in a separate kit. Just my 0.02$.

I like the colors but I liked even's set better just b/c it didn't have so much contrast.  The white seems to bright to me.

Hey Merlin, could you add a "more" tag or hide the 0.1.0 base kit? People thought you were going to run the set with it instead of this one:

I'll hide both of them. I don't think my message about directing people to kono for the latest updates is working as well as I intended. =(. I should know this, because people don't read QMK documentation either lool.

ortho kit makes no sense to me.

base kit has alt, fn, ctrl as r4 1u
also has a r2 delete

would have been nice to get r4 raise / lower, and r3 accented esc

Weird that we both only just noticed this on the same day but anyway, I let Merlin know of the omission earlier today - unfortunately, it's likely too late to add the missing key.

I'm sorry I didn't take a close look earlier, too.

Is it entirely too late? Would it be feasible to delay not the entire GB, but just the ISO kit, so the omission might be corrected? After all, it's not like it's a custom key for which a new mold must be made.

Curious about the MOQ for the ISO kit too - presumably using stock colours might bring it down a bit relative to other sets? ISO kits tends to struggle in general, so I hope this one gets made.

Each time a change is made, it has a possibility to delay the GB further based on how much longer it takes. There are also associated costs with the changes on kono's end. I can see what I can do but no promises. Also ISO is part of base kit.

Same here! Can't wait to put this on my ultramarine Fjell before the end of the year.
I bet that will look really nice! I'm considering the same setup for the ultramarine Klippe I have ordered.

Awesome! I can't pull up the anodization sample LeandreN shared, but the match is very close. There's a bit of a yellow hue in the Fjell/Klippe's ultramarine, so I think it'll match nicely with the accents and mod legends.

I can see the '@ (ISO set) key on Kono store render, so i guess it was added last minute ? In which case well done, shows it's possible to include ISO UK on a GMK set without hitching the price up too much...

... but the mod-colored ISO Enter seems to have disappeared, leaving only the accented one?

Did it? It was never actually there.

Great to see the missing key added, definitely in for this now. Non-accent ISO enter isn't a big deal for me personally.

LOL. Where and When did you get that?

EDIT: I see now. Yes I apologize for the misinformation, this was like the first kit design. You must not be looking at the Main Post and reading from one of the progression ones.

Hi, I recently purchased the Merlin keycap set.
The problem is that the layout for Spain is not included.
Would there be any option to manufacture them?
Thank you!

This GB concluded some time ago, but I do have plans to do a re-run it at some time in the future. The Spain layout will be considered but no promises.
