Hello GeekHack!

I'm delighted to announce that GMK Ursa is dropping this November 19th and will run-up to the Holiday season. In the coming weeks, I'll be revealing the desk mats, announcing the Artisans and more!

Looking forward to it. I've been "in the hobby" for little over 6 months and while many sets have been interesting, this is the first one that I h.a.v.e. to buy. Past and present.

Keep up the good work!

Deskmats: are you think real photo of the inspiration?

I am going to post a mini-IC on desk mats sometime next week. Two of them are real photos, and two of them are not. Will probably go with the community favorite after about a week of voting!

Good (East Coast) Evening GeekHack!

Over the next few weeks, I'll be announcing a new artisan for Ursa each Monday!

First up is the fantastic C.Y.O Artisans with his AmBEARssador!

Its white first design means it will look at home with your set no matter where on the board it is or what your alpha/mod setup is!

Make sure to stay tuned throughout the month to see the phenomenal lineup!

A quick teaser: There's more than one international maker in the lineup.

Do you have a chart or list of all the sizes and row profiles for each keycap in each kit?

It’s a little hard to tell the specifics for some of the alternate modifiers.

Hey Geekhack,

It's Monday! Which means it is time for another artisan update, and I'm really excited about this one.

Straight from Korea, in collaboration with Object.Garage, I present the Ursa Resin Cap.




Note: Colors are most accurate in the first photo

I know they aren't technically artisan's, but I'm proud to present the Ursa deskmat collection!

No, they don't. The names are just there to make distinguishing the mats easy.

Thank you!

Yeah, that idea has been shelved. Having ordered a prototype of a detailed image mat, I was unhappy with the quality of the print. As such, I'm not going to be offering an image mat for Ursa. If I find a factory that can deliver the results I'm look for, then I might feature one in the future.

Just got my nines order from Kono. Customs and tax was 35$ shipped via USPS. I paid 200$ cad including shipping. So that works out to 17.5%. my sales tax is 15% in QC. So all in all not terrible

Hello GeekHack!

This week's artisan update has been long in the making, and the RAMA team and I are proud to present the final cap in the Ursa artisan collection.

Hailing from the depths below, this legendary cap sports a mythical creature: Tahoe Tessie, Lake Tahoe's very own reptilian monster!




Though this is the final cap in the Ursa collection, this does not mark the end of the Artisan collection as a whole. Stay tuned for more exciting news in the future!

Tessie will be an enter key (R3 2.25u) and will be color matched to 7006.

Finally, I moved ISO out of the base kit to properly support UK National Layout and introduced and brand new novelty, based on a famous British bear! ISO users, I'd love to hear your feedback on Paddington, I want to make sure Ursa is fit for everyone.

ISO support is in its own kit (okay so far), but the 1.25U left Shift is still in the base kit. Is there a physical form factor that requires an 1.25U Shift key, that is being supported by the base kit? (if so, it should remain there; if not, perhaps the key should be moved to the Paddington kit.)

I am an ISO->ANSI convert, and I do like that 1.25U + |\ to get all the keys I am used to when typing anything else than English (I switch between English, Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian and Spanish on a daily basis). It permits me to have the best of both worlds (ANSI and ISO) without sacrificing any keys no matter the layout. But I do understand it might be better fitting in a separate ISO kit :)

Finally, I moved ISO out of the base kit to properly support UK National Layout and introduced and brand new novelty, based on a famous British bear! ISO users, I'd love to hear your feedback on Paddington, I want to make sure Ursa is fit for everyone.

This reasoning is why I left it in. It also adds little cost to the base kit and serves as an extra r4 1.25U if need be
