GMK CYL Beloved
Re-run of GMK KA2017.
A little backstory. When I first started in the hobby, my girlfriend didn't want me to spend money on keyboards. She'd beat my ass every time she caught me, and yet I still do it. So I decided to lure her into the hobby by showing her cute artisans, keycaps, boards then I showed her this set and she loved it. She really wanted it, but it was very expensive. So we just gave up on getting it. Around 3 months later I contacted OG runner and finally got he/she permission. I had intended to post an IC on Valentine's Day, but I was too busy and didn't have time. My gf will be very happy that I do this, so I can spend more money on keyboards hehe.

Glad to see sets like this being re run, even if I'm not a fan personally. R5 is pretty cool and hope the price is good. Plus bow 6u spacebar kit is still available on dailyclack at least for all 6 people who need it so you're covered there. GLWIC and hope it runs.

aicyborg · « **Reply #22 on:** Thu, 20 July 2023, 23:15:35 »

Please consider a NorDeUK kit, please. I'd ask for ISO-UK but you've already declined that. I can't force it but please consider that it might help sales of this set (which I think is really very cute) to UK & EU customers who'd just like to enjoy the simple pleasure of the right legends.

FatefulStranger · « **Reply #23 on:** Fri, 21 July 2023, 00:31:05 »

Heck yeah! Been excited for this!

Wouldn't mind cutting alice bars in base if it means a lower price

Just do a [IWK] WS1 6u spacebar.

Kinda missing 3key though. Kokaloo why don’t you lobby for 40s more energetically here?

Edit: I also want all-heart-XT-addon. And mod-pipe, mod-tilde.

Too much space, yet we have room for an extra B key incase i lose mine down the drain and possibly hangul based on the IC? oh and baby space bars.

That being said i am aware numbers of units sold are low especially in eu/uk in general but this has been a consistent trend for a while.

Just would be nice for people to remember non americans may want their keycaps to match.

Extra B and spacebars are used for Alice-type layouts and all kinds of split spacebar shenanigans. These 2 are definitely more popular than UK ISO.

As a "non-American", I am happy with the kit. Regional support just isn't realistic on every set.

you can buy 6u and other small bars from gmk bow which you can find pretty easily. you’ll get more support for a cheaper price

Any chance the front printed legends for SysRq and Break can be removed? I just received Frost Witch 2, which has the front printed legends and the font looks pretty tacky than the previous GMK silk-screening.
