Hello all! After the run of GMK Mondrian, I want to raise the bar a bit and have some nice GMK legends on our ortholinear keyboard.
A set of GMK keycaps specifically made for ortholinear keyboards. I want to make an alternative route of using GMK on ortholinear board, previously we always have to buy the base kit with extra ergodox while we only use like 1/5 of the total keys we buy, or if we are lucky we can live with wrong-legend-1u in right row from a base kit of some keyset.

This can cover (in vanilla or alternate vanilla layout):
1. Planck and all of its clone/variant.
2. Preonic
3. XD75
4. Atreus/Atreus62
5. Diverge TM 2
6. Terminus Mini 2
7. Diverge 3
8. And any keyboards with 1u grid-spacing up to 15x5

Little FAQ:

– Why GMK? Because it feels very nice to type on!
– Why ortho only? Because I feel bad for paying extras $$$ for keys we don't use.
– Why only vanilla layout? Based on my understanding of several drop of planck/ortho only keyset (XDA Canvas & PBT Acute) the vanilla has a much more boarder – audience and we all most likely have unique key placement on another layers.
– How much is it? Dunno yet.
– Where/when the GB will hapeen? Dunno yet.
– Why these color? I want to appeal a broader audience because we need 150 MOQ on GMK, that's why I try to be basic so this can fit in any color of your case.
– Why text only? Because I aesthetically it fits better on 1u, and most of the tooling for them is already available.

Please vote here if you're interested >> https://www.massdrop.com/vote/Ortholinear-focused-GMK-Keyset
Or fill this form https://goo.gl/forms/deEZmEK7oH4baLdu2 if you don't have an MD account :)

And of course, any suggestion/feedback is very needed :)

PS I actually want to run this color called Fuku, but because GMK needs 250 of MOQ for custom colors, I don't think we can made it.

For the Fuku colors, why not use 3B and 3C? I guess the darker green would have to be custom.

It doesn't require custom colors.

Tru about N9 for sure, the original renders have a dark green legend so i'm not sure if he's super worried about losing that

I actually super worried about colors  ;D. I already have them in Pantone tho, and Fuku colorway is something I had been worked for over a year, complete with background story and illustration about it. Based on MD poll the Fuku is gathering more interest than classic so I think I will post about the background story and more detail about Fuku here. Stay tuned!

Yeah, make it in the FUKU colors, and add a backspace key, and I'll buy it!
