GMK Eclipse
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91931.0

GLWGB! :thumb:




Well here we go again. Was asked by a friend of mine to make a keyset for his Mira keyboard and i'd like to introduce you GMK Eclipse.

My intentions for this keyset are not as high as for Carbon. Thus it will not end up as fancy as Carbon. Maybe i will do some Novelties for it. But lets just get the first look on it.

Accent kit

NORDE kit

Since its GMK its obvious this will be done in Cherry profile.

I hope to run this keyset through Massdrop in order to reach wider audience and because i got already good experience working together with Yanbo.

So if you got interest in GMK Eclipse leave a comment below :)

Will this be run without the red accents?

Or what if the accents were a different color? Maybe neon green, magenta, or BoW?

I like the rest of the set, though.

For accent keys i do consider right now only the red one. But i can imagine to use violet (maybe an off magenta) accents too. I need to play with colors little bit.

DAAAAAA :)

This looks great!

For you ;)

Looking pretty! Lots of beige/white sets this year so far, this is a good balance.

Would love an Eclipse sword you have for as a backspace or enter. And icon mod addon pack if text mods are used in the base set!

Quite a cool colour combination, that said, I'm thinking the yellow looks a tad too... yellow? To my eyes it looks more banana yellow than a warm moonlight glow!

Post by: RedSuns on Fri, 30 June 2017, 18:51:26
Since the concept here is an eclipse would the remaining right side (for ANSI 104) be mostly blue or black?

Also, I like that it still has a feel to the Yuri with the orange buttons.

Not digging the red either. What about the cream color you used for the mod legends instead?

I had been interested in something like this and was kinda waiting for thekeycompany:

Eclipse is the same idea but inverted.  Much better job on contrast with legends too.  Great job.  I plan to pick up a set if you start a GB.

agree, nautilus's colorway is pretty good and the yellow keys and red novelty stand out and are compatible with other colors.
This colorway is pretty good as well and the contrast colors between legend and base ,  alpha and modifers are rather harmonious, but the red stand out too much for me.

Post by: T0mb3ry on Sat, 01 July 2017, 02:21:10
Changed the accent keys to burgundy btw more darkish red.
(http://i.imgur.com/MpsJuBZ.png)

Keep in ming the accent keys are just an option and you can still make a setup without the accent keys.

Quite a cool colour combination, that said, I'm thinking the yellow looks a tad too... yellow? To my eyes it looks more banana yellow than a warm moonlight glow!

Yes its between white and yellow. Which color defines moonlight glow? It depends on the situation and moon can glow in different shades. Thus there is no definition for moonglow color. Anyway that white yellow color was chosen because it hormonizes well with that blue and it matches the yellowish glow a moon can have.

Violet instead of red, please. Looks great otherwise!

Violet is complicated color. The yellowish legends do not match really. But if then probably like this.

Gotta agree with the violet one, wasn't much of a fan of the beige legends on the initial design.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Eclipse
Post by: T0mb3ry on Sat, 01 July 2017, 06:29:38
Eclipse will be done in this version:
(http://i.imgur.com/6DEvUOn.png)
It looks more more mature to me and of course many of you would also see rather this version with violet accents.

What about Icon mods ? I know there is almost zero love for Icon mods here but I find those very clean looking.
Anyway, a nice colorway and very clean looking.

I would like to offer two base kits. One traditional like displayed and one only with icon mods.

I think the burgundy Enter and Esc suit better with the theme and also create a better contrast for the set. During a lunar eclipse you can actually see the moon in red and dark red, burgundy-like color. I don't think we have purple moon  :p

Very interesting colorway. Reminds me of GMK Adventure night a little, but with the black alphas is way more appealing to me than Adventure night. Great work as always T0mb3ry, hope this set becomes a reality! :thumb:

Post by: Hafizi Hilmi on Sat, 01 July 2017, 11:39:35
Have you try swapping base color of the alpha with the modifier? Black squishing the purple at the enter key might seem a little better imo.

Oh look how similar the logos are. Well the idea of a logo is simialr. Say one planet covers other and the last flash light  :))

But well this Eclipse is not intended to honor Eclipse IDE, though i've already worked with it. However if some one likes Eclipse IDE then feel free to relate it.

That will make the colorway brighter, which is not intended.

Probably look good with the purple one too :D. I only got purple this round since I assume the other colors will run again and they said they are doing 1-2 more drops this year.

I definitely prefer it with just cool (like color temp) colors. I wouldn't mind the pastel yellow on a light set, maybe GMK Godspeed (or brighter yellow and lighter grey like the Night Sky set that was being worked on), but this is so much better to my eyes.

For me though, the real question is when? My wallet needs a break from the abuse... and it doesn't look like that's gonna happen any time soon. The cool part is by the time I do stop spending, I'll likely have rolled over a year and start getting tons of deliveries from the previous year. I imagine getting packages non stop for a year without spending any more money will be quite a bit more fun than buying tons of things and not getting them forever :D


Also, have you tried pastel pink alpha mods? Pink moons are a thing too :D

I really like the way this set is shaping up. I'm always a fan of sets that use off-blue colors. Straight blue can be a little jarring but deep blue, navy blue and sky blue gives a set character.

Any estimate when this might be run? 3 months? 6 months?

Update

Symbol Color Adjustment.

- Changed the symbol color from vivid striking blue to pale blue which is used in Yuri. In my opinion its a good compromise between first (banana yellow) and second (light blue) version of symbol color. Also it makes the set a whole more calm and elegant. The symbols will appear more distinctive on the blue background of the modifiers.
(http://i.imgur.com/WR6ZBui.png)

For better show case on a scale. Yuri pale blue on background of blue modifiers color. (the picture shows also new version of eclipse novelty)
(http://i.imgur.com/aI29qqg.png)

The color adjustment of accent kit will be done in the next update.

@TR3ry: Could the icon modifiers you designed for Yuri be used freely? or are they proprietary?

Yep, I will buy!  Still wishing it was DSA (a man can dream). ****, I've got too many GMK sets!

They are available for every GMK keyset ;) Additionally to these icon mods there are also other icon mods which cover up to 100% layout. Say page down/up  home/end etc.

Edit: made it more precise that the icon mods (which were introduced with Yuri) are available for every GMK keyset.

What are the chances of seeing a "Glorious Keys" set in this drop? I was going to join Yuri just for that set but didn't want to pay for shipping :\

Does that mean that they cannot be used just as GMK Icon sets? Do they should be integrated in full sets? Do you have any plans to offer Icon Sets in classic colors?

I don't think you need to worry about the legends looking white.  Tom said that the lighter blue would be the one found in GMK Yuri, and that is a nice light blue as seen in the samples pic he had posted:

That doesn't look blue either lol. I guess it's a cool colored grey so it hues blue, but I would never call that color blue as my first guess. Especially if it was just being used for the legends, I don't think the blue would come through at all. It would be masked by the contrast.

I dont know where some people see that light blue color as gray.

Here are soem samples. White paper is there to force camera doing white balance properly. Whough N9 colors (base color for alphas) appears black which is definitely not black and that should be kept in mind.
(http://i.imgur.com/oFJs84T.jpg)
From left to right: third sample is Carbon gray and forth is Yuri's light blue. MG1 and RO1 colors are considered for accent keys.
(http://i.imgur.com/YXAyoyN.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/ogvDF1P.jpg)

I've already requested a sample for the custom color which is used as base colors on modifiers. So as soon as i get them in my hand i will post photo in the whole combo.
I am also glad to announce that the first round of GMK Eclipse will be done at CandyKeys. Its a german based online shop wich has pretty good offers for european market. Just check all the gmk sets they have ;)
candykeys.com (https://www.candykeys.com/)
You can consider the GB might start by the end of this summer +/-.


Also i know some people might be upsate that Eclipse is not "In your face!" set. My intention was not to make it this way. I thought more about elegant, clean and mature color combination.
Anyway if there is enough interest i could also imagine offering an addittional base set with MG1 symbols. However you have to keep in mind this will split the possible buyers in two parties and one or the other or even both base sets might not make it.
Just an mockup for Eclipse with MG1 symbols.

Inevitably the problems of inconsistent color spaces, chroma subsampling, lack of calibration, different light temperature etc. all conspire to ensure few of us are looking at exactly the same thing. You already noted that the Carbon gray in your photo appears black, on my screen the Yuri blue sample actually looks quite anaemic.

As for the simple 2D renders (KLE?) those are quite flat, and there is a weird effect of perception: with the image fitted in my browser window, I agree the previous comments: the earlier version with bluer legends looks better. However, opening up the image to full size and zooming in a bit I see more of what I think you mean by "calm and elegant"

If anyone who hasn't seen them before, please have a look at somecolor illusions like these examples (http://brainden.com/color-illusions.htm).

their current prices are retail, not GB - so shouldn't be to worried about the price. Im guessing 120-130 euros or so for base set.

Regarding the candykeys site. Good that the price would be lower for our EU friends, any idea if the price would increase by a lot for the rest of the world? Shipping and taxes might play a part too.

If the groupbuy base are mostly from non-EU, looking at previous GB data. I hope you will reconsider which site to host the GB on.

I like the MG1 better than the lighter blue actually. I hope these go through if the normal alphas are gonna be so light.

Also, it may be that those caps look more blue in person, but they are hardly blue at all as rendered. I have a calibrated hdr oled display and an iPad Pro and it doesn't look blue so much as grey on either display.

If you look at the rgb values they are around:

R: 203
G: 216
B: 231

It may have a blue hue, but that is most definitely not blue.

In another photo the brightest face is like:

R: 168
G: 213
B: 229

Which means it's closer to a grey faded teal than blue.

The question is, is the color in the photo bad? Or the color just super muted?

To be clear I'd probably buy this either way, but I'd love a nice bright robins egg blue over one so faded. Similar to what that pastel set is using.

The previous blue legends looked a lot better on the black keys but I really like the look of the Yuri blue legends on the mods. Maybe we can meet halfway and make it a combo of both the previous blue and Yuri blue?

Also really not a fan of the MG1 legends. I'd pass if those were what's offered. The subtle, mature nature of this set was what attracted me and MG1 legends go in the exact opposite direction.

Thanks for the catch. :) This Escape key was left after i've took out the accent keys.

In case of 1.5u Backspace. It does already exists for example in GMK Honeywell. However its splitt in two rows like displayed in following picture this:
(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56aade6ed210b85419e21e0c/t/58f691e8f7e0ab3d06933a84/1492554220607/DSCF3975-2.jpg)

Anyway i would mor appreaciate one single row and this is why i am always using "Delete" for this matter. Also for 1u Backspace i use "Del" too.

I have calibrated monitor too but it appears blue. Also i've tried to o look at mockups on my Android Phone and everything seems to be fine. Tried this also on my multi monitors at work. Everything is blue as it supposed to be.

The RGB code for the light blue is: RGB(171, 198, 220). It is actually a BFM color code from Signature Plastics. The sample i got from GMK is ofcourse slightly different and needs its own RGB values. Anyway its definitely light blue and its very visible on just the raw RGB values.

The previous blue legends looked a lot better on the black keys but I really like the look of the Yuri blue legends on the mods. Maybe we can meet halfway and make it a combo of both the previous blue and Yuri blue?

Also really not a fan of the MG1 legends. I'd pass if those were what's offered. The subtle, mature nature of this set was what attracted me and MG1 legends go in the exact opposite direction.

The previous blue color was just spontaneous mixed. It has a lightness value of 100 which is probably impossible to make real. Real colors are always off. Anyway since i got already existing very light blue sample, i decided to go with it.
The blue color used for modifiers was also spontaneous mixed and it has to be matched to Pantone or RAL color. What means i have to adjust mockup color later again. I could not find any matching Pantone color for that blue but i've found RAL 5000 colour which is the closest sample color you can get.

It does not really matter if it is EU or non-EU, if it is non-EU, you could be at advantage since you do not pay EU Taxes, you get the product tax free and then you pay your countries taxes and not ours :) So if you have lower taxes, for example America then you could be at advantage. You all need to consider that the shipping from GMK to us is nearly free, there are no import/export fees. (which many US companies have to cover (Export cost (paper-work) and Import cost (more paper-work) on all shipments above 1XXX EUR which then includes import company costs.) We can guarantee that the price will be good :)

Personally, I have ordered shipments from MassDrop before, and I paid USA + DE taxes, which really surprised me and made it really expensive. I am not exactly sure how the American tax system works but non-EU countries will not be at a disadvantage.

If you by on Massdrop it does not include US Taxes as (AFAIK) US citizen are personaly responsible for paying their taxes. Say they pay these afterwards.

Anyway i think people should really not worry much about pricings. I think the set will be GMK wise pretty much affordable for everyone. Especially it will be more affordable for some EU people whose countries have crazy import taxes.

In the US, sales tax is determined by the state. For online retailers, sales tax is usually only applied to people who are in the same state as the distributor. Massdrop is required to charge sales tax to people in New Jersey and California. Anyone in the US not in those states do not pay sales tax.

I just found out about this set on candykeys :> really happy for them to host their first gmk gb! I will definitely jump on it asap... that said, i noticed the iso shift had "only" the icon on it and i wanted to let you know (guess you already do though) that the label would fit there too like you can see on gmk hydro http://i.imgur.com/M8Oyad8.jpg (http://i.imgur.com/M8Oyad8.jpg).
good luck :)

Update
Base kit
- added missing "Shift" word to iso shift
(http://i.imgur.com/fzuYSsc.png)
irrelevant: mockups have now same enter, arrow and tab symbols as they are in real

Accent kit
- Changed colors to MG1 base/Yuri light blue legends, RO1/Yuri light blue legends and Yuri light blue base with N9 legends. N9 is the color used for alphas base.

Yeah, it's a bummer, but I think I see what he's doing.  One subdued (pale blue), one not too edgy but stylish (burgundy), and one more in-your-face (pink).  I really liked the violet too.  But I think it would have to replace burgundy and I like burgundy better.

I like your dedication with both centre and offset stemmed 6u spacebar support. Please keep it up!

On a slightly related note, I find it strange that Gateron has figured out how to make a 6u spacebar that can accommodate both a centre and offset-stemmed 6u spacebar, and yet GMK cannot do so and instead elected to produce two separate versions with each stem position  :rolleyes:

Base set

Novelties
Will add probably an Enter Novelty if i got proper idea for it. But right now only 1.25u and 1.5u row 4 novelties. Maybe i will merge accent kit with novelties, so they meet the moq more easily.

This set is coming along quite nicely. The light blue gives it a little touch in comparison to the black and dark blue. Sad to see no purple, but that color probably has nothing to do with eclipses.

Really like the additions to the base set. However, now that both kits have gotten larger I'm pretty sure getting both is going to be over $200. I'm still definitely in for the base set but I'll see if I can save up enough money from here until release date to get both.

I think/hope it will run near halloween and i got the idea about hollow eclipse. Say pumpking causing the eclipse and not the moon. But yada yada yada i like that pumpkin now so much and i dont even care about if it will run near the halloween or not. That pumpkin must be made :)

I really like the moon escape keys! And glad to see the violet (now purple) accent color make a return, though slightly changed.

Also am for the merger of the 2 (accents and novelties) as hopefully will get more people buying both of them we can lower the price of it as a whole.

Sorry the windowed keys are always printed (else that would be tripple shot key). I dont want to include something that does not last as the keys them selves. Also colorwise the prints are always off.

What's the approximate shipping cost to the US for a GMK set from Candykeys?  I tried checking on their site, but I keep getting an error about "There are no shipping methods available. Please double check your address, or contact us if you need any help."

VOTE FOR THE COLORS (http://www.strawpoll.me/13756855) in accent key.

You can choose multiple colors if you like. The least fav will be then removed from the accent kit.

Would you be so kind and do a mockup with the light blue accent kit? Couldn't find one and as i saw the temporary results i'm a bit worried^^

Why must you make us choose  :'(

I love all the current colors but if it comes down to dropping one of them, burgundy looses for me. I still would rather have all three though. I know they were just added but I would rather drop the alternate f-keys.

[I know they were just added but I would rather drop the alternate f-keys.

Please definitely NOT this. I hate alternating F-keys and the addition of them to the accent kit allows me, and others like me, to get a uniform f-key row while still allowing those that like alternating f-key rows to do their thing.

Violet

Burgundi
(http://i.imgur.com/gfY1ZPF.png)
Light Blue
(http://i.imgur.com/wjsQcJt.png)

Probably this is that i am going to do. Note i mix here accents and thats also consideration to keep all the accents. Having more choices is always better than having none.

Keep in mind this is an multi choice poll and you can vote for all colors. Keep voting :)

Surprised burgundy is losing

I didn't vote until just now, but I thought violet was losing badly to begin with. I figured burgundy would win as the strongest contrast with the blue, but there are a lot of people here who love anything purple, so maybe it shouldn't be a surprise...

The answer is simple. The correct swedish layout has an euro sign on key 5.

Hmmmm i do have US Ansi layout keyboard and additionaly i use EuroKEY layout. This "ë" is my altgr + e and this "€" is my altgr + 5. Good to know ;)

Yeah i need to get price quotes pretty soon. Though i'd like people to receive Yuri, so they can see the light blue color which is used in Eclipse too. But yes October is the Month for Eclipse.

Just for the info (for people who are new or hear first time about GMK Eclipse) Eclipse will be available for purchase at candykeys.com (https://www.candykeys.com/).

You dont need to worry ;)

Yes this set uses two custom colors. One is light blue from Yuri and another is blueviolet (RAL 5000). I will get samples for the blueviolet color soonish.
ETA is this month ;)

Andddd it is finally here. The GB will be dropping tomorrow evening EU time.

Getting everything ready for it :) It does appear the MOQ demanded by Uniqey is 250 Sets. The pricing will be 135 EUR included MwSt. for EU-Union Customers and 113 EUR for World-Wide Customers. This is 132 USD for people not in the EU-Union for the Base Kit. Shipping is to be figured out yet for World-Wide customers, we want to give the best options. These prices are lower than some of the GBs running today, the reason the price is a bit higher is due to the custom colors used in this set.
 
Pack prices are also released tomorrow.

Its not black but dark gray. Its the standard GMK color N9. N9 is approximately 90% of black. For example sets like skidata or modifers from dolch are using N9 color.

Other colors: light blue and blueviolet are custom colors. Light blue was used in Yuri already. For blueviolet (its rather blue) i will get samples soon.

Website updated now a bit, better overview of pricing. We have a custom cable coming for this set where you will get a code when purchasing to get it for 50% off the price.

Working on getting the GMK Eclipse Thread started in the GB section of Geekhack, unless Tomb3ry does it.

Updating the progress bars to be a bit better, nicer to look at and follow.

Otherwise, Thanks Guys!

Just updated all kits with colorcodes and added also row info to NORDE kit. Keep in mind custom colors do have hex values instead of GMK color codes.

I assume you mean the light blue modifiers from accen keys. Violetblue is the basecolor of modifiers accordingly to RAL color palette.
Maybe you are looking at the picture from your mobile device and it does not display the colors properly.
