Title: [IC] GMK Nightshade - GB Thread up!!!
Post by: BlindAssassin111 on Tue, 17 September 2019, 17:07:35
GB thread is live, GB set for March 2021!!! https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=111176 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=111176)

[attachimg=1]

It is night, the wind blows through the leaves and howls in the distance, the air carries an unnatural chill. A small house sits among the trees, weathered by the centuries, unkempt as if nothing had lived there in years. Shattered windows draped in tattered cloth blowing in the wind. Inside, a black cauldron sits filled with a purple potion, papers strewn about on the floor. The room is dark, lit only by the moon light which enters through the windows and the glow of the potion colors the room a faint purple. The house is quiet, and tension fills the air.

The floor creaks and sways as the house closes in, darkness takes over. A faint murmur can be heard in the distance, growing ever closer. Soon they surround you, voices coming from all directions. Paralyzed, you watch as mist fills the air. In front of you a pair of eyes open up as the voices stop. Silence. It slowly smiles at you, a malicious grin made of purple flames dancing in the darkness. She has awakened. Slow footsteps can be heard from behind, something is coming but you can’t move, you can’t escape. You feel weak, your vision blurring as she gets closer, her presence draining you of energy.


Kits:

Accessories:

I will be getting a deskmat and novelties made once I have an idea of the interest level of this set. May do an artisan collab as well, but that is way down the line atm.



Updates:

- March 8th
More
    Created a poll to see about possibly changing the alpha legend color to the same purple as mods/accents. Given I am on the fence I wanted to get feedback first rather than just making the decision on my own.

    Poll: https://forms.gle/ykDRjMVBY83L9jpy9

    - Gray alphas:
    [attach=2]

    - Purple alphas:
    [attach=3]


- March 17th
    Well after just over a week, I got 111 responses to the form (great number btw) and 65.8% of people voted for purple legends. And after talking with a few friends about the set and what they thought, they also said purple looks better. And honestly it was a very
    hard decision to make because I liked both options a lot, but I have come to a decision.

    PURPLE ALPHA LEGENDS ARE A GO!!!

    With that announcement made, OneCreativeMind and myself are trying to finish up the novelties and the deskmats to show off. Hopefully y'all love what we have come up with and are ready to support this set in a few months time (official date tba, but get
    ready).

    As well I have been working on updating the kits to be more of what I was wanting (more support).


- April 17th
    Added deskmat designs.

Not sure honestly, will depend on interest.

Any chance for an F13 key?

I might add that in, so maybe.

Y’all got any of those text/icon mods?

Probably not, this is my favorite style of mods, so will most likely be keeping it as is.

I have a few things on my wishlist!

1. Possible to have R0/R5 keycaps?

2. Can we have varied more varied novelties in different colours covering the entire function row (similar to GMK Night Runner, GMK Laser and GMK Carbon).

Cheers!

1) Most likely not, it would require a lot of reworking of compatibility.
2) I will most likely do something similar to Night Runner but not set on what exactly yet.

I would empty my bank account for some sort of dagger/kunai/syringe with drips coming off of it for the novelties. maybe some small flowers too.

Update:


Been quite a while since my last update, and for that I apologize. I have been focusing on getting some other projects out and this was being done in the background for quite some time.

Novelties are basically done and working on the deskmat designs now, will hopefully have more info soonish about those when everything is finalized.

And we now have a GB timeline of May, so keep a look out for more info in 2020 when everything is closer.


Don't forget if you have any kit feedback let me know!

All the blanks are convex, right?

Just wanted to confirm, because it's not clear with the 1.75 below.

Title: Re: [IC] GMK Nightshade
Post by: PvtSkittles on Wed, 12 February 2020, 21:22:06
my understanding is that the keys listed in the r4c "row" are the ones that are convex. The "c" in r4c standing for "convex".

Yes, that makes sense.  I’m wondering about the two blank 1.75u keycaps in the R4 row one up from the bottom.  GMK now has convex tooling for 1.75 (also 1.25), but it is unclear if these two are dished or convex.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Nightshade
Post by: BlindAssassin111 on Wed, 12 February 2020, 22:38:44
I think when I made the kits I was unsure if those could come in R4c or not, I can change that though as nothing is finalized.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Nightshade

I have tried it but I am not sure if I like that more or if it will be enough contrast (I think it will but worried nonetheless). Have to decide soon so there is a chance for purple alpha legends.

I hope this wasn't shelved.

Nope, Just decided to wait on updates until the GB date is closer.

I have a few potential improvements for the kits that I'd like to suggest:

- Base:
(Attachment Link)

- Spacebars:
(Attachment Link)
You should add a centered stem, alpha colored 6u spacebar to the spacebars kit.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Nightshade - New Poll up!!
Post by: BlindAssassin111 on Sun, 08 March 2020, 20:04:14
I have a few potential improvements for the kits that I'd like to suggest:

  • The second R4 1u Fn key is redundant and should be removed.
  • R1 1u Backspace is a seldom used key and can be safely removed, especially since there's a R1 1u Delete that can be used in its place.
  • R4 2u Shift is also a key that's rarely used and can be removed, although one benefit of keeping it is that you get a mod colored 2u space replacement without buying the spacebars kit.
  • The R2 1u + and R3 1u = numpad setup is very odd and, I believe, very rare. I suggest replacing those two keys with a R1 1u =, as equals is commonly found next to Num Lock / Clear on standalone numpads and Mac keyboards.
  • The ISO support, as it stands, is partial and inconsistent. Either add the few R1 keys that are missing for ISO-UK support, or replace the current R3 '@, #~ and R4 \| keys with R3 \| and R4 <>.

You should add a centered stem, alpha colored 6u spacebar to the spacebars kit.

1) Was purposeful, keeping it most likely (might change)
2) In the kit because I want it, true split backspace support (not-hhkb moved backspace "split backspace").
3) It is seldom used but most likely keeping it in. May change down the road, who knows.
4) I put this in because it is my preferred numpad layout but very rarely supported sadly.
5) Probably keeping it as is, I know it may not be full UK-ISO legend support but it is what it is.

6) I originally copied my Night Runner kits and didn't have 6u in them because I really didn't think it would be needed, but after having a topre board and running into that issue myself with a set, I will most likely add this in.

Much darker than N9, same color as Night Runner alphas. It is a black but not CR dark black, but not N9 gray either.

I love the purple too.  The grayish white was nice b/c it brought in the moonlight aspect of it.  But the all purple legends helps to unify the set.  We've got a lot of neutral alphas with colorful mods lately.  I think it helps set the colorway apart from the dracula, norde, umbra group even more.  I likes it!

This would look pretty badass on my black murder alice acrylic case with matching purple underglow

I wasn’t super into the spooky theme at first, but that deskmat is a must have for me. I think I have more deskmats than keysets at this point. But, that’s all we really do in this hobby anyways right? Collect deskmats.  ;D

Still waiting on GMK to send a quote over unfortunately. They are super slow at the moment and I have no idea when this will be able to run because of it...

If suggestions are still being taken, I'd like to see some options for the darker color space bar as well.

GMK straight up needs to expand operations to make keycaps faster! In the world we live in today, it's amazing how many people can buy and sit and wait patiently... :D

GMK needs more factories to increase production numbers! It's my Nightshade and I want it now!

Very true! That's what i find annoying in this hobby tbh. However, it's unfortunate we don't have a choice. That's unless they increase their production team, which is very unlikely.

To be fair, the popularity of mechanical keyboards has exploded in the past couple years. It's probably difficult to keep up with it becoming mainstream.

They bought a new machine to increase production rates, was to be online earlier this year. GMK Andy discussed this on geekhack. To my knowledge it was delayed by Covid. The production times being slow is compounded by the color matching being even slower (see Dracula), and that was limited by logistics for the different colors they needed to try.

Just want to confirm that I'd also still be interested. GMK is ideal, but tbh I just love the colour scheme of this and will support regardless.

Don't suppose cable will be considered as an option with this?

Not familiar at all on the logistics from vendors, but if JTK is an option then what about something like EPBT? Honest question because I have GMK and EPBT and the quality is surprisingly similar, but I am no GMK snob... :)

Maybe they don't work with 3rd party people? Not sure, but just a thought. *Fingers Crossed for this to happen soon!*

Lesgoooo! GMK IT IS! But like what i said, i'm buying either JTK or GMK or even IFK. This colorway is just too good to pass on, i'm copping deskmat too. <3

If this ends up being GMK i hope Ilumkb will be the vendor, they are usually cheaper compared to other vendors. LOL

I've been following this GB from a few months back, and I have to tell you that I'm pretty much 100% set on buying this set no matter who makes them. I would even say that I'm looking really forward to it if its JTK because I heard they do triple shot ABS. Anyways, idk if my input would matter at all, but I just wanted to say I love this set and I would buy it whether it's GMK or JTK.

While we're enthusiastically waiting for this to move to GB, does anyone have any ideas of well-fitting cable colours? Thinking of ordering a custom one to go with it, but not sure if a black or purple cable would go best with it. Cautious of getting non-matching purple colour, as this one is rather specific!


Apologies if it's the wrong forum for this.

Thank you all for supporting this project along the way, I never imagined it would take this long but so many things went on behind the scenes that led to delays and changing manus a few times but that is over now. I hope y'all are still in love with the set like I am, and I can't wait to see how the GB goes next month.
