Do the legends exist ?

Very interested! Are GMK doing triple shot caps now? Would be cool to have the sub legends in red like the classic SAV sets.
I would like to see this expanded to include WoB and BoW (CR on WS1) add-on kits as well.
Sure, why not.

I'm in!
Definitely in for a few, wob would be the icing on the cake if it could happen.

Interested.
An addon for modifiers (written in cyrillic) would be very interesting.
Make it Cyrillic-only legends and I'm in.Show Image(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/940/29967834148_9772565fa8_o.jpg)
might go down the route of red pad prints so I made an updated form: https://forms.gle/JxH8njCu2DJSroyN9voted. Please stick with the doubleshot!

run both.
I've had mixed experiences with GMK's pad print and would highly recommend doubleshot subs over them.+1. I may not join if the final set is pad printed. The bi-color may look good, but I prefer to know that the legends are as durable as the full key cap.
Filled a form accordingly.
Just a quick update on this:
I'm 99% certain this will run with doubleshot sublegends. I've had a friend of mine that's got closer communication with GMK reach out about the different Cyrillic offerings they've got because to my knowledge it's never been done in doubleshot, and I want to make sure this is done right. Also because of that, none of the people who offer renders have the models so the KLE is going to have to do for now.
With how GMK is these days this is taking some time, but as soon as I do find out everything I'll try get this going. However, for now this is going to have little movement unfortunately.
GMK doesn’t offer tripleshot unfortunately. Red sublegends would have to be pad printed but as I said that’s not a direction I’m planning to go here.Just a quick update on this:

triple-shot for red sublegend? that gonna be cool.
ne update?
rip padprint re-runne update?
Yeah, been working with a vendor inquiring about these moulds however progress with GMK is slow these days. We’re hoping to get the models directly from GMK for this. Not gonna update the main post just yet but the final kit will be a full set of alphas, doubleshot, with an extra tab in both icon and icon+text so you can cover two boards with this and a beige GMK set.

nice
can't wait to add this to the Beige collection
Quick update:
Got quotes from GMK and as it turns out this will require 43 new moulds, however we're proceeding with doubleshot since I think it's important these moulds do exist ;D
Still looking for an NA vendor so if you are interested please reach out!

Oooof.
Have you tried reaching out to some NA vendors already? I think vendors normally expect designers to reach out and not the other way around. I understand they may already have slots filled out for most if not all of the rest of this year.

Reached out to a couple, but it doesn’t hurt to ask here too just in case. Personally I don’t think it would hurt to run this alongside something else as it’s not a full set, though ultimately that’s up to the vendor.
I don't understand what the Tab keys are for, but I've been looking for an alpha kit to cover 40% boards, and this is it.
Considering this will be pretty expensive for an alpha kit (new molds and all) running it along a classic retro set (or expending it to include mods) might work better.

+1 It'd be interesting to see what the cost would be for a full base kit with these alphas vs. just the alphas themselves. Could be worth looking in to!
have you thought about doing a set with red sublegends yet ?

Proper Cyrillic legends, let's go.
Since it's not a replica of OG set now, would love to see Ё and / on the right spots as described here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=108456.msg2954972#msg2954972

This is indeed the plan. The Ë placement change was actually something introduced in some later Cherry boards however it for whatever reason never made its way into modern Russian sets.
I’m waiting on some updated stuff for renders right now but will post it all when it’s done.
It's interesting. But same color between main-legend and sub-legend looks busy, I was wondering if sub-legend color is another shade of beige.
Can you potentially include an Ansi enter? I have quite a few OG ISO doubleshot sets, and it would allow me to use this add-on kit with them and convert the layout to ansi

I was also thinking about suggesting this. Usually, sets only include an extra Tab key in their alphas kit because the base kit comes with an accent Enter option, which makes it two ANSI Enter keys in base, so an extra one in alphas isn't needed. But in this case, since the target for this add-on are OG doubleshot sets among others, it might be a good idea to include two extra ANSI Enters (one icon, one icon+text) since OG sets don't come with any extra ANSI Enter keys; and in the case of OG ISO sets (which are quite common), they come with none at all.
Can you sell this as full kit (at least as base kit and separate alphas kit for a bit cheaper)? I don't have beige set so even though I am interested in doubleshot russian sublegends it is not worth for me to buy this as separate and I think not only me

Any chance to include R3:Tilde/Grave/Ё & R4:Pipe/Backslash ?
yes yes yes!
Please stop considering Prototypist as EU vendors for GB that'll fulfill next year.
BREXIT is a thing 1st January so UK will not be part of EU anymore.
As much as I love Jae, you should reachout to another EU vendor and have a plan B.
Definitely a nice little add-on, I'll be in depending on the vendor and the potential political issues if prototypist is chosen.

I've heard your comments about an EU proxy and I will look into it before the GB.
can we have 7u & 6.25 spacebars?
Please consider running BoW (CR on WS1) too!
Small update:
A number of kits were submitted to GMK when they opened up again last week (a few variations of TKL and the add-on shown in main post), and we'll be deciding what to run based on the quotes we get back. GB still slated for February, though more details will come once we have pricing sorted.
Also re: EU vendor, mykeyboard will be proxying this set.
No chance of red prints?
(pleaseeee)
Raising the request for spacebars again for your re-consideration. I don’t think it will add much to the cost of the kit (please correct me if I’m wrong), but it will give quite a bit more flexibility as the person who buys this need not already have an L9 or CR alphas kit as part of another set eg 9009, WoB etc, and can pair this with another set eg GMK nines or something.
Oh nice, definitely more interested in TKL kits than pure add-ons. R5 plz :thumb:
Damn at this point I’m Tom’s GH liaison. ^-^
Tom has said on his server that he’s not likely to run with R5 due to the increased cost.

Always like seeing more add-ons for wob/bow. GLWIC :thumb:
hi, I'm new here, how to find out where and when (if) there will be a group buy for these keycaps?
I like kits as it is right now.
But I say NO for R5. Classic set needs classic rows.
I'm in for WoB.
I am interested in both, when?
What is the rationale for including an R4 <> key? It is redundant with the ,< and .> keys. An R4 \| key makes more sense.

I do actually somewhat share this sentiment and have been considering getting another |\ with the / sublegend in there instead. The rationale is that you get physical ISO coverage and somewhat cover a lot of layouts (you have quite a few using R3 |\ and others using R4 ><), though none really use both besides what's called 'terminal ISO' - but I don't think many people are using that at this point

Did a couple minor kit updates in the OP. Cannon Keys is on board as US vendor, with Swagkeys and Funkeys coming in as proxies for their respective regions too. We are reaching out for renewed quotes, and hope to run the GB either mid-April (at the conclusion of GMK Fuji) or early-May. Very happy to finally get this project going ;D
I have been wondering for a while now, but why are the subs in the beige render thinner than those in the WoB render? Set looks great, but I am curious which version we should expect to get; the thicker subs, or thinner ones.
GB will be May 1st. Pricing is still being discussed and will be announced soon :D

very glad to hear this. let's go! :thumb:
btw, i think you said you were going to revisit the kitting. did that happen or are you waiting on pricing?
