Title: [GB] GMK Yugo | Completed
Post by: konstantin on Mon, 04 November 2019, 05:33:53
(https://i.imgur.com/bJ4NMrc.png)

The Yugo — a small, unassuming hatchback, regarded by many as one of the worst road vehicles of all time. (and with good reason) Yet, it holds a special place in the hearts of all of those who grew up somewhere in the former Yugoslavia.

GMK Yugo is the first community project by YugoMK, a young, growing community of mech keyboard enthusiasts from the Balkans / ex-Yugoslavia. And that's what it truly is, a community project. This means that we, the designers, will be taking no profits from the sales of the set, which in turn means lower prices for everyone. It also means that we've designed the set exactly how we would want it — by the community, for the community.

Taking inspiration from the Yugo GV Sport (GV stands for “good value” lol), a special “sport” edition Yugo that was marketed in the US in the 80's, we've decided to go with a nice, sun-faded yellow as the base color for the whole set. The crimson, orange and brown accents were taken from the GV Sport's signature stripe.

Read more about the idea and inspiration behind the set in the IC thread. (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102130.0)

So sweet! Such a shame there is no ortho kit, would have been instabuy for me :(

Also, I think the deskpad would look nicer in the Yugo beige instead of the white...

Has anyone had experience with Kono before? I'm a bit hesitant to make a purchase with them. GMK Shark Bait went live the first of the month yet it is still not available on Kono yet. I'm curious if the same issue will apply to GMK Yugo as well. If there is issues with just going live for ordering then I am a bit nervous about whether or not their fulfillment will be a long process.

I got nines from them on time with no issues. I got troubled minds from them with two of one F row cap and missing another (seems like SA's problem, not theirs, they're not opening and counting all the bags). They coordinated the replacement with good speed and no extra expense on my part.

Their mistakes with symbiosis (didn't order enough kits) and shark bait (literally unresponsive for an opening weekend) are troubling.

There's a right answer here, which is cash off for the folks who don't get their symbiosis kits on time, and increased shark bait extras to pump up the numbers. "Sorry" takes 5 letters to press and doesn't mean much. I'm curious as to their responses.

Yes, unfortunately those are the numbers, we didn't expect it to be THIS low - but there's still hope.

I/we speculate that a reason could be the long GB Date, where people have a thought in their back of their heads like 'It's running well into December, I can just grab it later' - which is likely hurting sales. There's still a lot of GB time left, still more than a month which a normal GB runs for - and we all know how crucial the last week can be (just look at firefly - from looking dead in the water to a huge spike meaning it made it). Worth noting is that it's a record breaking month for amount of GMK sets being ran, and past few months have had heavy hitters which have left multiple peoples wallets empty.

The numbers are low now despite huge interest during the IC, so I don't think it's at risk yet. I believe!  :thumb:


Thank you for the 7 brave souls who have supported it already, and for everyone else - see you soon! <3

This is a phenomenal theme and colorway. Since Terra cancelled the Katakana set, this is my last remaining "must buy" this year. I'm buying all sets except spacebars, but have to wait until December for the monies. My guess is others are taking advantage of the long GB time as well and this will have a big finish!

No, personally I feel like you either have to get base space and zastava to perfectly reflect the theme, which will cost ~USD220, or you buy a base with forever regret.  So I have to decide not to buy.  Also I have OCD for accent spacebar.  This would be an insta buy for me if you insert two red spacebars into the base, though I know this is not happening to most sets.  Anyways, nice set and gl with gb!

That's the beauty of it all! Up until you, everyone told me they only want the base and that it is enough for them, that they might buy other kits just to show support but only plan on using base.

This is why kits exist, we all view it in our own personal way! :)

Less than 50 base kits, but this is now entering the final stretch. We got until 16th of December to make a difference. Gmk bubble has burst for sure, this is now a struggle for survival after having literally every set made for the past half a year+.

We got about two weeks to make this happen. If you're interested, consider buying asap as a cancelation, like we've been seeing other sets do, isn't outside the realm of possibilities.
Help us put us in a position where buying it out is an option, as I feel like there's no way we're making moq.
December is fresh and there's still time, but we're crawling here.

I'm still hoping it'll go through. I was one of the first when it went live. It's an awesome colorway and concept. Maybe ppl thought because the first renders had non-latins in them that there wasn't a full Latin alpha set?

If this fails, count me in for some other version/iteration of it.

Well, I've selected almost everything except artisan (not a fan of the whole artisan thing, and it doesn't affect the set itself) and numpad kit. I've even selected and paid for the keyboard to display this specific keyset. And it'll be such a disappointment.

GMK Icon mods are not center aligned by default, all legends are top-left aligned. Are you only asking for shift to be center aligned, but leave caps icon top left?

No, clearly that would need center aligning too. Mixed alignment icon mods look meh is all I'm saying.

A week to go, looking dire. Not much else to say.

It's a shame, yugo was a risky move that tried to do something new and fresh on multiple fronts. The molds we looked to introduce would be a good addition to gmks library, too.

It's not over yet, though. :)

Olivia++ live in December. Over 1500 kits sold.

So yeah probably not the month, although it will certainly factor in one way or another. I think, based on nothing but a hunch, that the colorway is one reason and the unique kits is the second. Having to pay extra for correct ansi legends is perhaps another reason. Obviously have no way to prove anything, but to me it feels like iso haters always say “if iso is so important to you then speak with your wallet and buy iso kits”, and now ansi buyers also speak with their wallets and don’t buy the set at all.

Again, just a feeling, based on nothing.

A lot of nice kits are getting creamed this month. I think it definitely has something to do with the holidays. There’s only so many $200-$300 keycap purchases a person can make in a short period of time without getting in financial and/or relationship trouble.

I love this set. Hopefully you’ll run it again if it fails or doesn’t get bought out by the retailers?

There are a lot of great GBs happening this month in general. It makes buying everything we might want super difficult since everything is running at the same time. If this was offered at a later date, I definitely would've bought into it. Good luck with the GB!

I honestly really like the set but was told early this had to be gmk (despite IMO being easy to adapt to epbt). So i had to vote with my wallet and skip. I would love to see this come back as epbt with a couple of reverse dye sub keys.

PBT isn't bad, but epbt is kinda crap.

Remember that month little less than a year ago when only Jamon and Bento ran? Kono is running 'two months' worth of buys (at least 4, right? Umbra, Yugo, ASCII, Ursa and High Voltage) right now on top of Olivia++ and Nautilus Nightmares (more like Necro Nightmares with how washed out the new renders are) and Dixie has a PS1 set too. This month is stacked and next month isn't much better, but Kono is the real failurm here (running so many sets at the same time when MechmarketFlip++ and holiday expenses are what they are)

Although i have little insight how it would have flipped the tables, i feel it was suicidal to not offer a western alpha base kit and offer the yugo layout alpha additions in a subkit that could have been may be more easily bought out by the GB runners.

At this point i guess it's up for the people who have already pitched in to get a few more kits if they really want this GB to succeed.

In for 3x base kit + 3x capitalism and 1x artisan.

I want to share my reasons for buying this. First of all, it is so unique! This is so different from the GMK 'norm'. Every GMK set is largely the same, just with different colors, and this set bucks that trend. Even so, the colors go brilliantly with their theme and are so good looking. But the legends and layouts are entirely the point of this set. I haven't seen another set with a YU layout. Every other set says "Here's your perfectly suited base kit America!" EU and UK users almost always have to buy the addons to fill their layouts. This time around I don't mind dropping $30 on the brilliantly named "Capitalism kit", though I'll probably keep the base keys on or use the Zastava addon, because well, it's too damn cool - "...first ever non-Russian Cyrillic kit". And the interest check was fantastic, period! These guys really nailed it. Yes they took a chance with a base kit for the Balkans, but respect! I live in Chicago, Illinois btw.
Oh, and the desk mat is awesome! :eek:

I have no doubt this set would have done really well about 3 months ago or maybe 3 months from now, and also with a different vendor. (Still hope Kono buys this out PLEASE!).

Post by: FearsomeCubedWarrior on Sun, 15 December 2019, 10:24:33
If it will make it with minimal MOQ, the r/mm prices will be sky high. Just a notice for our dolphin friends.

My reasons are simple: I've been to Croatia and around (Slovenia, a bit of Montenegro, areas around Knin) about 6 times and I liked what I've seen despite 90s nightmare. I was going to get this set as a piece of memory, cause most likely I won't be able to visit Balkans anytime soon.
It does bring that nostalgia, but looks like people are just into something "cool".

PBT isn't bad, but epbt is kinda crap.

It’s OT, but I beg to differ. My only ePBT set is Extended 2048 and I was really surprised by the quality which is absolutely on par with GMK (not trying to exaggerate; couldn't find anything wrong with my set). Razor sharp legends and a silky smooth texture that will not shine up within a month.

Don't get me wrong, I love my GMK sets, but at this point I would really like another ePBT one instead.

Post by: spakecdk on Sun, 15 December 2019, 14:11:53
The problem with ePBT is the gap, since they don't use the same sized mould as GMK, which I personally think looks rather bad. I much prefer ABS as well. The next best thing is CRP imo.

I feel the same. Epbt 2048 looks great and the price is right. Someone else mentioned gap and I guess there is a difference but i personally would trade that for pbt

I guess I'll phrase it differently. ePBT's dyesub is good (ePBT slate is at least), but their blanks are the worst available in the Cherry profile (same small keys and scoop+bar crap as the worst sets on KBDfans). CRP is nice, but the color is odd and they're bad at communicating. I really hope Mito's Mythos of Cherry dyesubs is good and available in more colors.

You mean the shape of their version of the Cherry profile? I can't say I had any qualms with it, haven't even noticed any difference (after having used GMK sets for months). Maybe I didn't pay enough attention, or my expectations differ to yours :)

And I actually really enjoyed the scoop+bar homing keys - but I understand that's a matter of preference :)

I just meant that in general their keys are like someone forgot PBT shrinks after molding (their tooling was probably made for ABS, or modeled after existing keys... it might look a little sloppy, but feels fine.

I'm glad someone likes barred + scooped. I don't hate them, but I prefer just scooped.

The fact that unbranded dyesub sets on KBDFans use the same blanks is a little sad because one only costs $19 (for the red/yellow or yellow/red set) despite having comparable QC.

I hope they continue to retool or find a new source for blanks because thats the only reason people are using KAT (other than better MOQ and more key sizes... as far as I know the dyesubbing on both are excellent)

Post by: ideus on Sun, 15 December 2019, 17:28:38
The recent posts are out of topic. However, I should add my experience with ePBT for some balance. It is true that ePBT skirt is a bit shorter than Cherry's. Beyond that, spacing is OK, space bars are not warp, at least those that I got from Kbdfans. And the beige matches GMK's. Legends are as near as dyed sub can be to double shot. In summary a good cheap alternative to Cherry DS.

Back in topic, I should say one more time, that I regret my hobbies' budget is totally empty, so I cannot support Yugo. It is a nice idea that I hope it becomes a reality.

Will be buying 2 more base kits later on today but I'm fully confident in the set being bought out by vendors (even with Kono being one of them) if it comes to it - to me it's clearly a set that will be very well received and will always find niche buyers looking to purchase it down the line as more people either become aware of it or garner the funds to acquire it. Would be a huge missed opportunity and I'm sure they're aware of that.

As for what we will do, that's up in the air. We'll talk it out amongst ourselves and see what we can come up with.

Even though as it stands it's a big F, we would still like to thank everyone who believes in it.
It might not be over, so if you're still interested in Yugo, wait a little while before asking for a refund. If we decide to cancel it altogether, you'll be refunded without having to ask for it, so please wait.

As for deskmats and artisans, I don't know how much interest there is in them if there's no set to go along with them. We will talk it out today and let you know ASAP.

I really love this set. It is really a bold step in the monotonous GMK scene with many sets being seemingly the same. This will be the first GMK set that I would actually use and keep forever if it is actually made. You guys might consider to request for the vendors buy the set to meet MOQ and then sell them as extras once the set ships and pictures gets put on the forums. I'm sure that once it is in people's hands, the community will know how beautiful this set truely is.

GMK Olivia R1 wasn't very popular at the initial group buy phase, but now look at the hype there is in R2! I am proud to say that I had participated in the GMK Yugo group buy no matter how things eventually turn out.

- But why? It's already ran for a month and a half!
Well, that is true - but even if we had made MoQ by now, extending it the rest of the year makes a lot of sense. The reason for this is that over the holiday period, nothing would move regardless.

There's been a lot of support from multiple ends, and it'd be a disservice not only to us, but also to all the fans of Yugo to let it die off here. A lot of people have shown interest in picking up a lot of extra kits in order to see this set make it, and that really warms my heart. I have personally gotten a lot of PMs, and also notice how people discuss Yugo in a very positive manner across discords and here in the thread. Thank you so much for that!

Extending it the rest of the year will allow for more orders to accumulate, our plan is then to make an effort to have it bought out through vendors and amongst ourselves and friends to have it made. We obviously can't guarantee anything, but I am still fairly positive it'll pull through at the end of the day.

I can't speak for all the kits, but base and capitalism look completely possible - which is not a faillure to me. The cyrillics kit is fun and unique, and introduces new cyrillics legends, but at the end of the day it's not vital to the set. The base is what sets this set apart from every other set out there before it, and it'd be a real milestone for the community to show that it is possible to take this route. Keep in mind that we do not abandon other kits right off the bat, though.

We selfishly ask for your continued support, and a huge shout out to all the people who bought yugo, and all the people picking up extra kits just to give this set a fighting chance. We love you all!

Thread title updated, thanks.

Since we got a few questions regarding ANSI and the Capitalism kit, I thought it'd be worth pointing out that you don't need to buy Capitalism to cover your ANSI boards — the base kit comes with physical ANSI compatibility.

Capitalism is if you want US/UK legends for your boards, but ANSI also works with YU legends (and looks kickass to boot) ;)

Yes I have come across many people frustrated over them thinking that there's no ansi support in the base, some even thought that there's no ansi enter. This isn't true, there is ansi support - but for full us ansi, you'll need the capitalism kit.

Please remember that this set was meant to be used with Yugoslavian legends, and as such we separated us ansi and iso UK to a different kit. Of course we are aware that the  set would've sold multitudes better with ansi us in the base right off the bat, but it goes against the whole concept and idea of the set.

We are aware, and from the start we knew that certain decisions we made would alienate a majority of the crowd simply due to how we did the kits. However, aiming to make it was always the goal; with the integrity of Yugo intact.
Maybe we were wrong, maybe it'll pull through - but I personally don't regret any decisions made. If it does get made, it'll serve as a milestone in GMK set progression, and if it fails it goes to show that we as a community aren't ready for these types of things yet.

It'll be interesting regardless of how it turns out! :)

I don't think this is struggling due to the design decisions, though, and I think we ARE ready for this. This set has A LOT of community support and love!
(Yes, I'm shilling a bit cause I want my YUGO!)

I think the vendor, Kono, either hasn't been as invested in getting the word out, or they're just running too many GMK sets against each other, or both. Also running in December was risky.
And then there's Olivia which is just kicking ass right now and is a must buy for many who had to make tough decisions this month.

Ouch...

Reality bites, guess a lot of community support and love is just not enough to make a philosophy become reality.
There are too many burger shops opening at the same time lately on this very short strip street.

What we cannot understand in Customer behavior is that survey (IC) does not always represent outcomes.
Community stop by at this sandwich shop, saying good things about the shop, how nice the table layout, the menu board looks fancy, and children playground is so adorable, but yet they go next door to McDonald order Jumbo Meal which provide everything more than they need to fill a hungry tummy. A Burger (Modifiers), Fries (Alphas), drink (Numpad), some Meal comes with Apple Pies (65% & 1800 keys) and free ketchup. But wait, what..... why community have to pay for the ketchup (Capitalism) at the sandwich Shop?   ;D

I'm guessing, just guessing that McDonald gonna reach 2,000 Meals at the end of Dec.

And, salute to GMK Sparta runner, he/she can foresee things very clearly, and business sense kicks in. Better pull out, and come back later, when the market is not too crowded.

Cheers guys.

This is the first GMK set GB I joined, not because of the design but because it would be nice to have one set with the correct legends for my language. I'm sure all other reasons pointed out are part of the problem why this didn't reach MOQ yet, but I'm quite sure the biggest reason is the design. I find it ok, but nothing that would make it stand out, except for few people as we can see by the numbers.

The elephant in the room that everyone refuses to achknowldge is that, the ISO community's buying power is still not there.

Look at Olivia++, mentioned multiple times here as one of the reasons Yugo is struggling. Even for a mega-popular set with (currently) over 2000 base kit, the ISO kit is still struggling to hit MOQ 100. Remember, without that ISO kit, you literally cannot put Olivia++ on your ISO boards.

Vendors will 100% help out, and that kit will be produced. But at some point we have to admit that:
- There are still not enough ISO buyers.
- And/or the often-vocal ISO fans simply don't want to vote with their wallets (if you think this is a form of protest, you're giving the opposite signal).

Yes I have come across many people frustrated over them thinking that there's no ansi support in the base, some even thought that there's no ansi enter. This isn't true, there is ansi support - but for full us ansi, you'll need the capitalism kit.

- You (as in ISO users): I won't buy this set's ISO kit bc its keys don't have correct FR/DE/etc legends.
- Also you: Just ignore the incorrect ANSI legends lmao. Why is physical support not enough for you?

Ansi users don't want to pay an additional 30 euros for correct legends and Ansi enter, and ISO users don't want to pay an extra 30 euros for ISO enter. I think you're somehow not seeing the common point that yugo and add-on iso kits should've illustrated.

There is no one, but many ISO layouts. ANSI is just one layout, US ANSI. ISO users at GH are minority by far. Considering these facts, I wonder if you guys promoted the set at DT, RMech or any other forum where there may be other ISO users.

I also exclusively use ansi, but it's not like iso users are the target group. 
This set uses iso Yugoslavia, and how many yugoslavians do we have in this community besides us behind the set. Expecting iso users to buy this just because it is iso is like expecting them to buy all the physical iso found in any other set - you're not more likely to buy this as an iso user in comparison to anything else with physical iso.

So basically, people wanting ansi us with correct legends for yugo is no different from iso users wanting correct legends. The difference is that UK and us can get full compat while the rest of us (like me) will have to settle for, and enjoy the legends for what they are.

I am leaving for CES in Las Vegas tomorrow, so I won't be available to close this out for another 7 days. Konstantin (thread creator) is also at CES the coming days.

Nothing is confirmed yet, but we are doing what we can to have this made and I am optimistic for the Base kit and capitalism kit. cyrillics kit as well as numpad and spacebars are unlikely to make it.

All yugo members are synced and up to speed and might be more available than me to answer questions until then.

GB pages should start to close up now, but at the same time there's no rush to do so (but don't count on them being open). If you want to order, do it now. :)

Thank you everyone for the support so far, I hope the kits unlikely to make it aren't deal breaker for a lot of people - we really tried.

That's a real bummer, the first thing that got me into the set was the cyrillics. I really like the Bosnian-Serbian-Croatian language and I would like to learn it someday. I know they mostly use latin but the south-slavic cyrillic alphabet is really special. I'm not sure how I would feel if I'd only get the base set, I hope for all the best...

Spacebars made it! This means capitalism, spacebars and base are made together with the deskmat and artisans!

Zastava needs more than half. Numpad needs 40. These two likely won't make it.

Ok well to have a full kit, one needs the numpad. I’d be willing to buy a 2-3 more, and if 10-15 ppl join me we can hit MOQ for that as well. Maybe the Cyrillics don’t make it (though I like them a lot).

That will be difficult, as only ~150 people will own the set and have a use for it and thus be the only ones to want to buy it. This buy, it was open to anyone to grab the base and zastava, so even further reducing the number of potential buyers will most likely result in a failed GB.

Hey, that bit of information was last updated when we first got word from GMK that there would be a delay. Since then, there have unfortunately been several more delays, not just with Yugo, but with all GMK sets currently in the pipeline. Due to how busy GMK is and the COVID-19 situation, it is difficult to give a hard estimate when the set will ship at this point.

Not everything is looking grim, though; things are moving at a slow, but steady pace. We are expecting to receive the first round of color samples from GMK soon. We're hoping the COVID-19 situation doesn't escalate and hinder progress further, since GMK is already working at a reduced capacity due to the virus. Our hearts go out to all of those affected.

I will update the OP with the latest information we have.

Hey everyone! Quick update.

First off, thank you all for your patience. We've received the first round of color samples. Jaka (spakecdk), who is the first team member to get the samples, will be taking photos in the coming days, sharing his thoughts on the colors with the rest of the team, and then forwarding the samples to the rest of us so we can view them in person.

In other news, communication with GMK has finally picked up, and we've been going back and forth with them behind the scenes over some of the details of the set's legends; namely, the YU alphas, System legend and the spacebar stripes. We want to make sure we get these 100% right.

it is a little bit different, there is no arguing there, but we took colors for this set from a photo of brand new Yugo sport, so you can't actually compare that with 30+ years old color on the car that Adrian has parked in front of his house. We're happy how it turned out but are still waiting for some other members to confirm if they're ok with the color.

Hi, the colour sampling took long because GMK shipped them to me just last month (first half of May, not sure what took them so long), and I distributed the samples among the team members, and my post office took their sweet time. It is almost sorted though, we are waiting for the last person to receive them.

I'm sure that they will match it better! Just some update on timeline would be great, if the prolonged colour matching means that this will go to GMK queue much later or it's still similar to the other GB's which finished around the same time.

First off, thanks everyone again for your patience, you guys are awesome 🙏


My samples finally arrived a few weeks ago, and since then we have been discussing them internally, as well as communicating with GMK to see what our options are moving forward.

One thing is for sure, and that's that the red is gorgeous. GMK was able to match the color we picked spot on, and all of us are happy with how the samples look in real life, so we've gone ahead and approved that color for production.

The yellow is a bit more complicated. Being one of the defining features of this set, it is very important to us that we get this color right. Essentially, we all agreed that the color of the samples we received was 90% of the way there, matching both the renders and the initial Yugo GV inspiration well, and also looking good paired with the red in different lighting conditions. However, it's still a bit off. To me it looks fine indoors, nice and yellowy and creamy, but in natural light it has a bit of a greenish tinge and isn't as great of a match. Overall I would say that it is indeed a bit on the greenish side, and also a tad brighter than it should be.
Comparing the samples to our RAL chips, it isn't a 100% exact match (unlike the red), and here we also notice that it's a bit greener and very slightly more saturated.

At this point, we had two choices: call it good enough, proceed with this color and not risk further delays; or reevaluate and try to get a better match.
(In the meantime we actually managed to track down the original spraypaint color (https://www.123lack.de/lackspray-yugo-sahara-beige-234-1-schicht-autolack) that was used for the Yugo GV and offered to have it shipped to GMK to attempt color matching, but they politely declined, informing us that matching plastic based on spraypaint “can technically not be matched, not be done.”)
More importantly, they got back to us letting us know how long it would take them (i.e. their plastic supplier) to produce another round of samples: 4 weeks. We had a meeting, we discussed, and we agreed that going the extra mile would be worth it for the final product. We apologize for this additional delay, but in doing this we feel confident knowing that we will have done everything we can to ensure that you guys get a keyset you will love.

This is why we have decided to go to R2 of color matching for just the yellow/cream color.
We have asked GMK to attempt to match the original color again, pointing out the issues with the current samples.
We have also asked for samples of two additional, similar colors in order to help ensure a successful match.
Once we receive the new samples, we will be choosing the final yellow/cream color, and the GB will be moving into the production phase.



Now to address the second topic: production timeline. GMK is still heavily backlogged, but they are trying to catch up. According to our vendor, they've been having periods of apparent inactivity, followed by shipping out multiple sets in a week. My impression is that they've been trying to squeeze stuff in where they can in order to make up for lost time. There have been several-week–long communication delays throughout, which has been felt by all GBs and sets currently in IC. Given this apparently hectic nature of their production timeline, it is currently very hard for us to give any sort of estimate as to when GMK Yugo production may be completed. This situation is (un)fortunately unprecedented, and there aren't really any previous sets' experiences to go off. However, as I said, GMK is catching up, and we have been told that things may start moving faster in the near future.


Thank you all once again for your support and your patience 🙏


tl;dr: Red samples approved. Yellow/cream going to R2, ETA: 4 weeks. After that, production. Currently difficult to predict when production will complete. Read above for details :​)

Few months more wait don't matter true, I'm glad you take this approach to make the set how you imagined from the beginning. There were too many sets where GB runners matched the colours poorly, resulting in undesirable set in comparison to renders.

Thank you so much for such a detailed update. I think you made the right decisions as getting the right color is more important than having keycaps in hand. I stand by your decision and hoping R2 colormatching will be spot on.

Post by: konstantin on Wed, 30 September 2020, 09:03:59
Hey guys, it's time for another update. I'll try to keep it short and sweet.

The new color samples are in and they look delicious. They are nice and yellow and creamy without any of the green tinge that was present in the R1 samples. In fact, looking at them side by side, I am very glad that we decided to do a R2. All in all, the team is very happy with how the new samples have turned out. We have found a color that is a great match for this set, the initial inspiration and the renders, and is definitely about as close as we can get using RAL Design colors. So we are going ahead and approving this color, together with the red from R1, which was great from the get-go.

This means that Yugo is now finally ready to go into production. We'll follow up with GMK to see what sort of timeline we're now looking at.

Thanks again for your patience and support, everyone. We are super excited to see Yugo go into production, and we can't wait for you guys to get the set in your hands!



Here are some photos of the new and old samples. Please keep in mind that photos, like renders, can never be 100% accurate. That is also the case here. While these photos have been graded and come close to the real thing, the colors still look a bit different (and, imo, nicer) in person. Also keep in mind that the Macbeth chart printout is only a there as a rough reference, since I couldn't get hold of an original ColorChecker.

That being said, enjoy:

Anyway, nothing should be removed, it's totally up to designer team what they show, and removing something shown after final decision is made won't change anything.

That sheet of 24 colours you're seeing in the background is commonly referred to as a ColorChecker, and allows the user to either colour correct a photo to a "reference" target, and/or allows viewers to compare with an original chart. However, these colours have to be verified in order to make any appropriate judgements with them, and printing them out is dubious at best as you'd have no way of referencing it other than your own source. There are set companies that specialise in this, which is why it's an industry standard when used properly.

Judging by that photo, you can tell that there isn't enough saturation and exposure in the target even though the colour samples themselves look fine. This makes sense as ColorCheckers generally are made out of pigments that far extend the saturation levels that general printing can provide, among other differences such as reflectance. Having it here would only confuse viewers into thinking the samples are a lot more saturated and brighter than what they are depicted here.

It's like saying why people don't print out spot colours such as Pantones and RALs and why colour decks and physical samples exist. You'd have no way of figuring out whether what you're referencing to is right.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the trapezoids, which are official chips. Those are meant to be the reference, while the chart is meant to be a comparison, imo. But, as you pointed out, it is a bit misleading.

In other news, Salvun has informed us that the all of the Yugo artisans are almost done and ready to be packed. We should have some photos for you guys in the next few days :)

I will be checking with him and the vendors to see what this means for those of you who ordered just the artisans and not the set, and whether they will be shipping out the artisans to you soon.

Looks like GMK is now stretching Yugo production the same way GB has been extended (oh that suspense a year ago!).
Anyway, it's 2021 now for sure, maybe we'll get some news on Jan 3rd (the last day of GB, AFAIR).

I was wondering about the same. It's been 3 months since it was announced that the color matching was approved and that the kit should go into the production.

Maybe one of the authors of this set could shed some light on the status of this project?

With Germany (and Europe at most) under lockdown again any estimate won't be too relevant, IMHO.

Don't hold your breath. I confirmed GMK Rouge colors over half a year ago now and still not a word from GMK that they even received it. :)

Generally we don't share updates with everyone, we just share them with the vendors and let them share the information with the buyers just fyi.

Still, seeing as how it seems and update is in order I'll check up on this today and see if we can't get some word to the vendor regarding the current status.

GMK is still in lockdown and has definitely slowed things down a good bit in the office but I will see what I can do here for everyone  :thumb:

Still nothing T_T It's been about 20 days since we last heard from them. We're still waiting on that production estimate.

Regarding this set we have been proactively reaching out for the banderole design at least 5 times since 10/2020. We can move forward once we receive all the requested files.

Who exactly did you try to reach out for design? I hope it wasn't Emir, as he parted ways with Yugo team long ago.

Don't message me about Yugo, I no longer want to involve myself with it.

Set is being made, and I trust konstantin(constexpr) and/or spakecdk will do a good job color matching so there's no reason for anyone to worry. :)

We reach out to the lead vendor, we don't generally contact any designer directly unless brought into a discussion by the vendor.

It seems this is being worked out though, so no need for anyone to worry.  :thumb:

Hey everyone, a few clarifications on the delay. Today we received an update from GMK via our main vendor, mykeyboard.eu. GMK has caught up with their production queue, however they're currently experiencing plastic sourcing issues with their plastic supplier, so they've had to push several sets back by a couple of weeks. GMK Yugo is one of the sets affected. The new ETA that they've given us is week 26, which means the set should ship out to vendors in late June / early July, as audiosl4ve pointed out.

We've received confirmation from several vendors that GMK has shipped out the sets to them. Depending on region, transit is expected to take from one to six weeks. Upon receiving the sets, vendors will begin sorting and shipping them out to customers (together with deskmats and Salvun artisans).

With that said, I must ask everyone to stay patient for a little while longer, and to kindly refrain from opening premature support tickets asking for tracking etc. Rest assured, your vendor will put out a notice once the sets are ready to ship from them to you. :)

We're almost there!

FYI, I didn't get any notice from Kono, but the package arrived. Was trying to figure out what was shipping haha.

Happy with the cap colours, great job on the beige, and colours in general!

Deskmat, not so much. White is almost blue / purple. Also has big crimps in the corners 2 corners (inside roll), but I'll save complaints for another post.

For those not in mkb.eu discord: the shipping of yugo from them might be delayed cause mkb.eu never got their share of deskmats that were ready 1.5 years ago. So much for being the vendor nearest to GMK.

Exact total extras numbers:
Base (Yugo 45)   110
Capitalism   55
Spacebars (Cabrio)   38
Artisan   0
Deskmat   10

The base kits are quite evenly spread across all vendors.

I see there is some confusion regarding the deskmat situation, so here is a breakdown of what happened. Hopefully this should help clear things up. My apologies for not posting earlier.


Once again, we apologize for not catching this issue earlier. I would kindly ask everyone not to lay blame on their vendors. If you have to blame someone, you can blame me for not checking and just assuming that the deskmats have made their way to all of the vendors.

There is one upside here, though: the new batches of deskmats that are being manufactured use an updated version of the design, which fixes some of the issues that were present in the original. This entails better margins, typography, as well as more accurate colors. So buyers will at least be getting something in return for the extra wait.



Anyway, I'm really happy that you guys are enjoying your sets. The photos I've seen so far look awesome! I can't to get my hands on my own set. Until then, best regards from sunny Split, Croatia. I saw a Yugo (the car) on my way to the beach today

P.S. If you decide to share your Yugo photos on Instagram, feel free to tag me at @const.keyboards (https://instagram.com/const.keyboards).

Can you clarify the deskmat situation for Kono orders?

I received mine. I guess maybe it sat in their jumble too long - 2 corners are really crimped, and you mentioned a revised design. Is the revision (more accurate colours) being sent to all or just those who haven't gotten a mat yet?

Then there will be 4-6 weeks of travel, a couple of weeks for qc and order assembly, so don’t hold your breath till Christmas I’d say, those who ordered deskmats from daily clack and mkb.
Ok, I stand corrected: about two weeks for deskmats to be sent from mkb, so we’re looking at October shipping now

hey man! no, i dont use discord and after a quick search i can't find it. I mailed back and forth quite a few times over the last years on diffrent occasions and they always answered within the frame of a few days until this lets call it an incident.

Here you go: https://discord.gg/Ematy5MN

Good luck with that, though. first thing first you'll be requested to put another support request through their bot there, but you can also try to DM some of them after that.

Had to buy this set off MM since the extras dropped while I was in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner, but worth it. Love how its the antithesis of a GMK set.

Seeing how there's a lack of photos here, I'll add mine since it's finally built.

Authors: sorry it took so long, had a whirlwind of a year but happy with the keycaps.

Hi all

I am late to discover this GB.
Any idea where to get one set??

If not possible can you advice on any other keycap set with ex YU, CRO or SLO layout??

Thanks

Any hope for r2?
Or at least a mini-run of just Zastava kit. Too bad it didn't make it in the first round...

I'd also like to chime in. Missed out on R1. Would jump at the chance if there is a R2

Post by: Lazy_Borzoi on Sat, 07 January 2023, 10:24:34
I believe there are a lot of people who would love to get this set.
Hopefully, the GB owners/starters will consider running r2 or at least Zastava kit as a separate GB.

Yes, we need Zastava.

Agreed, it was a shame it got cut from R1, it added a lot of character to the set. Hope it gets a second chance one day

Read through the thread folks. This has the same chance as SFRJ re-uniting.
