No white F13 in the chrome kit? It's shown in the iron180 render

Other than that, love it. WS2 is so nice, prefer it over WS1.

I take it there's a mistake regarding the split numpad + keys, or are they supposed to match the alpha color scheme instead of the mods? Also, have you considered adding matching accented arrow keys to any kit?

Post by: sup3r170va on Wed, 21 April 2021, 11:42:53
can you please include white spacebars (7u and 6.25u) in either the chrome or the comrad kits? I am thinking of skipping the base for these two kits.

Indeed a beautiful set. Do believe they will combine greatly with several color combinations.

Maybe a black spacebar?

All in all, great job. Keeping tabs on this :)

The original GMK Monochrome were made using WS2, there are plenty of ways to create a Monochrome variant using WoB and BoW sets :)

Awesome! My vote for F13 and WS2!

Thank you! A black spacebar is something you most likely already have laying around for other CR based sets :)

Easy fix, use your Metaverse accents with your Monochrome alphas!  ^-^

can you please include white spacebars (7u and 6.25u) in either the chrome or the comrad kits? I am thinking of skipping the base for these two kits.

This is actually not a bad idea, will take it into consideration  :thumb:

Hi guys,

All 3 colors are stock GMK colors, same as from GMK Monochrome R1(there are tons of real photos of that set floating around) and the kit renders have the colors stated in them(to the right), the white used for the set is WS2 - and it has a cold blue-ish hue to it in some lighting.

Here is a photo from my IG in dark natural light: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1mFpLlB3sb/

Well, thats why I was confused because even the right legends (stock GMK color,  WS2) are different than the left Key colors, so I asked. Thanks for the clarification.

I completely see that from the outside that would make sense, but it would also mean we would not be able to break a price point I have in mind for the NordeUK kit. However, this is still something we are considering! :thumb:

I agree with this. The NorDeUK kit won't benefit from hitting a cheaper price if you have to buy an additional kit (Commando) to actually create the layout associated with it. Also have you considered a 1u AltGr?

I was thinking the same. Instead of the chromatic set I would prefer a reversed monochrome set with black alphas and white mods
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Monochrome r2
Post by: Curious Yellow on Sun, 09 May 2021, 08:52:27
Love WS2 and should be in for base and the mods kit. Perhaps macros.

Hoping for high MOQ so price is reasonable too. Also, consider a UK vendor please?

Really nice looking set! I'd like to see spacebars in the extra alphas kit, since you also have an extra modifiers set. That would let me use it as two full sets without having to worry about which bottom row each keyboard has.

Hi all,
Im new here and I have a question. I heard that GMK sets are currently not delivered until 2023 due to the factory not being able to keep up. :eek: 
Is that correct and does that also count for the monochrome set?

It depends on a few things. Sets that consist of stock colors are currently estimated at 11-13 months. Set's that require color-matching will take even longer. Queue times will increase as more and more sets are ran. There really isn't a good way to narrow it down but expect at least a year of waiting once the GB ends.

Basically we have went full circle back to the days of the 1st GB in 2011 when because no one had ever tried to get GMK to make a specific set outside of their factory standard sets, it took a long time to design, work with and even order the caps, then it took the organised (7bit usually) forever to make up each kit by hand, he actually spent his time putting each cap into bags to make a full set.  Now it is easy to order and easy for them to place in pre determined kits but unfortunately, because there are 100 of kits year, instead of maybe two, it just takes as long.

25.05.2021:

- Added render of the Monochrome themed Rama M6-C that vendors will offer for the set(this is why we added the extra Macro caps to the Commando kit)
(https://i.imgur.com/PMtrvT2.png)

- Added photos of the cables Luxe Cables have made for the set

Hi guys, so - I do agree that it would make sense, unless it breaks the bank, therefor we are trying to get quotes for 2 variations, and see if it would be viable at all. Renders for reference.

Good day,

31.05.2021

We had to cancel the Rama M6-C due to the microchip shortages the world are currently experiencing. To make up for it, we have decided to offer the 'missing' Multicolor Rama O for GMK Monochrome r2

Hi guys! I am very sorry for the delay, the GB has been postponed with a few days untill we get final quotes from GMK, hopefully we will still be able to launch within a few days, I will update both here on the IC thread - and on the GB thread once everything is sorted.

Dumb question maybe, but why 3 pairs of page up/down in the base kit, yet only 1 position for insert and home? I've literally not used the page keys in ages, but home (and end) is essential for navigating non-modal editors quickly (office docs, email, etc...). Shift-Ins is my go to for pasting into a terminal emulator since C-v tends to be captured by my terminal apps.

I don't expect to affect the GB or anything. I'm genuinely curious about why anyone would value the page up/down keys so much.

My 2c. For precisely the reason you cited, Home and Insert are always in R1. For TKL, the positions are fixed so no issues. For 65%/75%, for the last column, people who use home/insert would still use them in R1. The common alternative config is pgup/pgdn next, so that occupies R2 and R3. R4 would be Fn or something. There are others that need end/del to accompany home/insert and usually end up putting that in R2. This relegates pgup/pgdn to R3/R4.

So because pgup/pgdn is a less important key, it’s moved to a lower position, and therefore need more permutations to accommodate different uses.

In a 65%, wouldn't Home and Insert need to be above one another? The top row of a 65% is R1 and the second-topmost is R2. By providing both Home and Insert in R1 only I basically have to choose one or the other if I want consistent sculpting across my rows. Whereas all the combinations of the page keys basically ensures they can always "fit" as along as I have two free switches anywhere in my rightmost column. I interpret this as an implicit prioritization of Page Up/Dn over pretty much any other keys. Thus, every 65% product shot I've seen so far has Page Up/Dn present in the right column. None of them have both Home and Insert present.

This is something I've seen pretty much everywhere. This set is an insta cop for me. I'm not trying to pick on it.

I think people tend to use home with end, and insert with delete. Personally I only use delete, and I’ll put delete as R1, pgup R2, pgdn R4 and fn R4

Post by: adsfqwer on Thu, 03 June 2021, 05:49:48
Thanks for the input. Basically my ideal right column layout on a 65% would have Insert, Delete, Home, End. Ordering doesn't matter to me, as long as they all fit with correct row sculpting. I'm not sure that's possible with any of the sets I've seen so far.

Nice and clean, a Black and white set without being boring. I really like the red accents and the red comrad sublegends for some contrast.
Good collabs and good base target pricing of 120.
I don't like the monochrome text on the deskmats, I think it ruins the clean and simple aesthetic.
I also think there should've been a render of the cyrillic and red accepted keys together.

Definitely in for the base kit  :thumb: I hope quotes arrive soon and that gb goes well.

From what I heard for other keysets and talking to vendors, GMK is severely behind on quotes - there is nothing worst from a designer perspective to be all set and then get huge delays because of a quote you’re missing - trust me, Full is doing all he can to get that started ASAP :)

Hey! I confirm that the NorDeUK kit is 100% guaranteed by vendors, so if it does not reach MoQ naturally vendors will buy it out.
