Title: [IC] GMK Denim
Post by: T0mb3ry on Sun, 07 January 2018, 14:20:56
Hey hey!

Most of you and ofcourse myself love jeans. In this regard i'd like to introduce you to GMK Denim keyset.


The colors of alphas are self explaining. The mods have light brown color which does in my opinion complements the alphas pretty well (like leather complements denim). As you can see there are also some accent keys. Those keys might look to you red but they are more like copper orange. Probably i will correct that copper orange more towards orange. The symbols colors is beige. Same beige as used in GMK Carbon. Overall GMK Denim is using only custom colors.

Eclipse will make a comeback but i dont think it will be on Massdrop. If time will come you will be able to get it directly from Europe ;)
Tho its also possible Eclipse will be available someday also on Massdrop. Everything depends on situation ;)

Nice and original colorway. I was going to joke that the red accents were symbolic of catching your junk in the zipper, but then you said they are more of an orange.

Hope to see eclipse soon. Maybe a quick drop simular to GMK mint dolch?

As i said i am still in prototyping phase. Tho i share with you some sketches. Keep in mind they are kind of stupid overboard i need to find some balance.

Stitched mods with words only.

Stitched icon mods.

Those are just fast sketches and if i pick one i will need definitely to work out those properly.

When it comes to stitched mods - the ones with labels are ok, but icon ones could use some work (like making the stitching more prominent).

k got here OG stitched Icon mods ready. (i mean i got svgs ready ;) workflow rocks if it makes fun)
(https://i.imgur.com/2A9vXZf.png)

The basic idea is to offer base set full denim like displayed (no brown leather sorry). Tho those stitched icon mods will be offered separately as Novelties. I dont want to enforce those stitched mods to anyone. Thus the base set will be only word mods like in oblivion. This way i want to give you the opportunity to get just basic clean set in denim colors.

As i said the stitched icons will be novelties and i want add also some leather like patches keys. For example the enter (GMK since 1992) in previous sketches. Probably i will do GMK not for enter but for caps lock bacause i want also similar leather key for "CHERRY" logo with since text too. Anyway i will look into it later.

please no to the stitched mods. Also the blue + brown was perfect.

In case for full leather mods i also consider doing full leather mods like the patches in novelties.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Denim
Post by: Marutks on Mon, 08 January 2018, 17:15:02
nice!   Dark blue modifiers look perfect. Perhaps it would be better to have only few "stitched" novelty keycaps.  Not all modifiers (probably expensive too).

Not sure about that "since 1992" i think i should keep it clean.


I will look also into leather mods. Tho if i dont like those i will skip the leather mods.

How about 'est. 1992'? I think that's the more common abbreviation used when a company brags about their founding date.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Denim
Post by: T0mb3ry on Tue, 09 January 2018, 14:13:16
Small update.

I've talked to people in slack and they wished the leather patches to be lighter with light red symbols. Similar to Levi's. Especially that cherry enter.
(https://i.imgur.com/yifo9P2.png)

Probably it would be wise to make an extra leather patches kit. I like every leather patch version i did before so i would love to get em all  :))

Perhaps the brown accent keys should be included in the base set over the red accent keys, as they fit the denim aesthetic a little better? I still like the red accents, but to me, it feels like they belong in the accent kit.

I get more and more the feel the base should be merged with novelties. This will make base kit more expensive but will reduce the price for those who want novelties by large amount. I mean cmon everyone wants them.

Something like this?

I like it and i like all other versions. Tho its quite hard decision. I have no idea how well Denim can go. Introducing leather mods will basically require a whole base set with leather mods, because most of the keys are mods. I wish i could offer two base sets. One with denim mods and leather accent keys and one with full leather mods.

Well they were way too fast. Still i think its quite silly from them to make a knock off. The set is in development and they release like 4 days after ic start a similar colorway. Coincidence? Hell no! Its lame.

Yes they are pitched darker and are actually different if we go into shades. Anyway i understand doing it after quite some time but this fast after i started ic thread here. I dont know.

Anyway let them do that they do. Lets keep the topic on subject.

Post by: T0mb3ry on Sun, 14 January 2018, 16:01:43
Update.

- Novelties and Base set has been merged into one. I assume in this constelation this might cost around 150$. Keeping it separated would make base 130 but with novelties it would raise up to 200.
- simplified numpad alphas (removed secondary legends)
- removed some rdundant keys like delete and back space since icons make it simpler.
- Note: Row 4 caps lock keys are still text not icon. I think they should stay text because there are no icons in row 4.

7 different keys with cherry/gmk logo?? Basically every modifier requires a new mold right?
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Denim
Post by: T0mb3ry on Sun, 14 January 2018, 16:10:33
7 different keys with cherry/gmk logo??
Yes. As you can see they give options. There are two cherry enters one iso and ansi. There are two GMK Caps lock replacements stepped and flat. And there are 2 GMK 1u keys, one for escape and one for code key on C70. And there is one Cherry key for escape.

Not too much imo. Having options is better than having none.

Basically every modifier requires a new mold right?

GMK Keys 1u are available. I know there is 1u Cherry logo key available. However i think its new logo not vintage. I want vintage logo of cherry. For example the cherry logo on enter is vintage.

Overall most novelties do need new molds and that should not be that expensive if we consider them being novel. You can compare it to GMK Camping for example which has also a lot of novelties in its base set.

Post by: amnesia0287 on Sun, 14 January 2018, 16:42:54
I hope you consider normal accent keys too. Especially the cherry key. I get you like it, but I don’t use a single cherry component in most of my boards, I have no interest I. Having a cherry logo on my board. But the color/accent look nice. I’d almost rather have something generic.

Unfortunately no. Brown mods will require second base set and that would split buyer base which might threaten both base sets.

GMK Carbon will probably drop end of this year. Tho this is asumption and its not guaranteed. I dont have any exact date yet.

This is hard. I get that you want tho i have no idea for generic enter. For example look at the modifiers, they are stitched and probably most easiest way is to offer a leather enter with stitched enter sign whih is meh i think. Leather patches need to have kind of logo.

Perhaps you might still consider that cherry logo because despite the caps are produced by GMK, its still Cherry profile which was developed by Cherry. Also GMK has very strong relationship with Cherry ;)

Looks very nice! Wish you the best on the set!

Still carries the great blue vibe :3

Thanks! I wish you also the very best for the GMK Fishbed ;)

Such novelty was already in consideration. I will look into it ;)

Is this set still in the works? Or is it too similar to Eclipse to run for awhile?
I feel like the two sets together could make for some interesting combinations.
I hope this isn't abandoned though.

This is not abandoned ;) I want it to happen. Maybe via Uniqey or Massdrop.

Please just skip ortho if you aren't going to take it seriously. Look at Oblivion or Laser if you want to know how to do it properly.

This will be used as another example of "See, ortho doesn't sell". Not like this it doesn't.

The kits presented in this thread are not up to date anyway. Once i get a safespot at Uniqey or Massdrop i will continue development and the kits will be updated similar to GMK Eclipse.

Thanks for the kind words. I hope i got a spot for it in the future. Tho i have to rework the kits in order to make it more affordable.

So i got some time for Denim again and here is the next Update.

Update
- All child kits has been removed. First run will be just the base kit.
- I need some things confirmed and i probably (if all things are alright) will announce a vendor for the first round of GMK Denim.

Base kit
- the base kit has been chopped down so only the necessary keys are included.

As i said i am still in prototyping phase. Tho i share with you some sketches. Keep in mind they are kind of stupid overboard i need to find some balance.

Stitched mods with words only.

Nice update. Clean and simple. Almost reminds me of the simplicity of the recent Eclipse... Any chance you will be able to offer this set as a separate kit. This was the design that got me all hyped up for this set as it is unique and special and would distinguish this set from all the thousands of the usual (getting boring for me) two toned sometimes three plain GMK sets going out in the wild with no detail designs in the mods. Still, I love the  zipper pull and little touches like that, but what I’d like to see more is the border stitching you have done for the Ergodox and your preliminaries.

That particular idea is quite hard to pull off at this moment. I need more interest in it - say real participants. Since the keycap market is pretty saturated right now, i want to go only for the base set. Once Denim exists and gathers enough interest for another round, then i might look into making such kit.

Thats the goal. Tho i am on the fence to add Cherry Ansi Enter and GMK stepped caps lock as additional keys in order to give it some novelties. Thus that might make the set to cost little bit more.

Update

Base kit
- Changed all labels of leather patch keys (accent keys) to company logos.
- Added 3 leather patch keys Cherry logo (R1 1u), GMK logo (R1 1u) and GMK stepped caps lock.
(https://i.imgur.com/2SIwD8A.png)
The reason for this change is that leather patches on jeans do always display company logos and that way i want to accentuate "Denim" as theme of this keyset.

I'd love to see a Shuttle loom or something selvedge related for novelties. Maybe it's possible to do some that are non-infringing, but inspired by the Osaka 5.

Love the set either way!

The base kit is finalized and we are waiting for pricing from GMK. The GB will be held at Originative and this is my first collaboration with Sherryton  ^-^.

The pricing will be competitive and at the usual GB rates (keep in mind the amount of keys and the custom colors) until the lowest MOQ is reached.

A shuttle loom would require more detail to be distinctive recognizable as novelty and there are limits in terms of details if it comes to double shot process.

I agree with dropping the topstitch novelties. Perhaps if you were somehow able to add a couple chainstitch novelties they might look more compelling.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Denim
Post by: T0mb3ry on Tue, 07 May 2019, 15:45:58
I think the topstitch novelties would be more compelling if you did them as chainstitch.

Hmm. Not sure but i will look into it if i come back to the stitched mods.

Btw. this is actually the latest stitched mod iteration. I think it is better to make only icon mods (recognizable for everyone) but stitched.

Very cool - makes me wonder what the price tag will be considering it will be run at Originative, which usually has higher prices than other vendors for similarly sized kits, not to mention there are often no cuts or additions to kits very often with increasing number of orders (i.e. hitting a higher MoQ rate).

Looking forward to it, but hopefully not too soon, with all these GBs pending on running.

So we got the pricing from GMK. The base kit will cost around 125$ (without shipping) until the lowest MOQ. If we consider the custom colors, novelties and amount of keys in the set - then in my opinion this is an top notch offer. I hope you appreciate the pricing ;)

Oh, you're absolutely right that you won't find an uncontested spot on the calendar any more.  I'm just surprised that there's as much contention for June as there is.  It's more surprising to me since nothing that I'm watching is running in July, but perhaps I'm just watching the wrong sets for that.
