This is a non-profit set for Save The Elephants (https://www.savetheelephants.org/), a non-profit organization located in Kenya, Africa.
They work by providing protection, conducting research, spreading awareness, and resolving conflict.

How Will Profits Be Donated?
The vendors and I will only receive the money that was put into making this kit (e.g. renders, design, vendor expenses).
Everything else will stay with the vendors, and they will do the donation process. Screenshots and proof will be provided after the group buy.
100% of profits from sales will be donated to charity.

2nd one looks too yellow IMO, but would like 2nd accents on the first one :thumb:

I really like this! Nice calm muted colorway. Any chance of possibly adding an alt modifier set that reverses the colors? I think that would.make for a very nice option with this kit.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Ivory
Post by: Vigrith on Sun, 20 October 2019, 12:00:59
This is super nice;

Might be worth exploring making the base colour for the alphas a little lighter than it is on the 2nd option (but not as white as the 1st) and keep the legend colour almost black as is - I think that'd look the nicest, because the faded grey-ish legends for the light scheme is too little contrast in my opinion.

Depends on interest, I'll see about adding a bottom row icon kit

TBH, I think "muted" alpha color (RAL 085 90 10) with "bold" legends (CR?) would look best.

agree
That's what I'm planning to do!

Correct. I will probably do accents with GMK CB, but for the keys I may have to stick with one custom color.

It's personal preference really, just what I decided on when making the renders. Some sets do this, especially Dixie-run sets. Might change when I make the kits, but for now I think it'll stay this way.

Lots of sets do it this way, full icon mods aren't popular (personally I find them to be ugly, at least with the GMK style icons).

Using icons on backspace, shift, tab, caps lock and enter while leaving the rest as text may seem illogical, but for many it looks a lot better.

It's also the way Cherry made their icon mods:
(https://i.redd.it/lgojtqbxi36y.jpg)
(someone can correct me, but I believe ANSI boards were made with icon + text mods and ISO boards were icon only)

i would agree, icon mods suck, and full text mods should be the only version allowed, but the mix is nearly as bad as full icon

Mixing plastics is considered sacrilegious by some.

More than sacrilege, the real problem is that it's uncomfortable to feel two different kinds of textures under one's fingers while typing. Even mixing very rough PBT and very smooth PBT caps can produce this.

Good update! Couple lingering issues in the base kit, though:

- The R3 1.5U \| is still present twice. Delete the one in the lower R3.

- R1 End and Page Down are missing. OTOH, they're present twice in R4: in the base kit and in the numpad kit. The solution is to leave the numpad as is and move those two R4 keys in the base kit down to R1.


When's the GB starting?

Only found this out thanks to yesterday’s Reddit post but I’ll definitely join, love the cause!

As the two person above me have said - any change of a novelty ISO enter key? 👀❤️

Great update and love the mods.  I will go in on this when it goes live.  What about a novelty ISO enter?

Haha, I like the way you guys (also) think!  ;D

Sorry guys, I'm unfortunately not planning for an ISO enter novelty. :(

No worries, it's still a great set :D If it's due to keeping a certain pricepoint on the other set, then perhaps you can throw it into the International kit - we're used to buying extra keys anyway :D

i wonder if it would help or hinder the international kit to meet the MOQ.

So sad I hadn't seen this until now! Love the set!
I know adding a kit this late would be an almost guaranteed 'no' but figured I will ask anyway. Thoughts on an ergo set? Even just the add on for the 1.5u's and 2u's instead of a full kit with alphas.
Really like the idea of this set being for charity. Hope it goes well :)

Hey, I'm loving the colors and kits after the update. I also think the tribal deskmat looks really nice. Those patterns remind me of traditional Serbian embroidery (although ours never had anything to do with elephants :D). I have some suggestions for a few of the kits, which I hope you'll take into consideration.

A few things I noticed about the icons kit:

Also, the base kit:

Finally, the spacebar kit:

Those patterns remind me of traditional Serbian embroidery (although ours never had anything to do with elephants). :D I have some suggestions for a few of the kits, which I hope you'll take into consideration.

A few things I noticed about the icons kit:
  • If you're going to support 1.5u Super (♢) keys for Mac and OG-style HHKB bottom rows, there should be two 1u Alt (⎇) keys as well.
  • The Super (♢) icons look at a tad too large to me.
  • The Raise (⥣) / Lower (⥥) icons look a tad too large and too thick. Try making them the same relative size as the PgUp/PgDn icons.
  • It would be nice to see R2 PgUp (⭻), R1 PgDn (⭽) icons, but I understand if you decide not to include these as the kit is already decently sized. In that case, what you could do instead is add a single R2 Raise (⥣) key, which, together with a R1 Lower (⥥) key, could stand in for R2 PgUp, R1 PgDn.

Also, the base kit:
  • Consider changing R1 1.25u Menu to Fn. 1.25u Fn is very commonly used on 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL and full-size keyboards. If you make this change, you can remove the 1.25u Fn key from the Nomad kit. However, if you really want to keep Menu, please add Fn alongside it for those of us who need it (although I don't think this is necessary because Fn is a versatile legend that can also work as a Menu key).
  • Consider using <> instead of \| for the R1 ISO key (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90706.msg2894820#msg2894820) in the base kit. This will help avoid a duplicate legend that some ISO users have been complaining about.

Finally, the spacebar kit:
  • Are the 6u spacebars centered stem or off-centered stem?
  • 1.75u space isn't used on any keyboards outside of the following 40% boards: Vortex Core (1×), Daisy (1×), JD40/45 (2×). For that reason I don't think it's worth including a 1.75u accent space key in the spacebar kit.
  • You might want to include an alpha-colored 1.25u space key either in the spacebar kit or the Nomad kit for Alice users who prefer to use the 2u+1.25u left space configuration, as well as for users who like to split 6.25u spacebars as 2.25u+1.25u+2.75u and want to use alpha-colored keys to do it.

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I'm taking most of them into account. Don't worry about how the legends look in the icon kit, it's not what EPBT will use to align and size the legends, and the raise and lower keys are not what they look like in the render; they fit more. The 6u spacebars in the spacebar kit are centered.

This is a very good question. My guess is that the link is still under construction. Mats often, but not always, ship separately from the caps but this is per set and per vendor. It's likely that's the case here but your vendor should spell that out for you on their webpage.

Thanks ! I hope desk mats are bundled along to save on shipping. This is one of the more affordable quality sets that can go out of my budget quickly due to shipping.

Not sure if someone else spotted it yet, but the row numbers on the numpad seem to be wrong. You have 7,8,9 in R4, but qwerty is in R3. They should be in the same row, and 4,5,6 should be R2, 1,2,3 R1. Probably just an error in the picture, but I wanted to point it out. Good luck iwth the GB!

Hi zemljače! It actually isn't cheaper — mykeyboard by default charges 21% EU VAT on all orders, which you don't have to pay since Serbia isn't in the EU. Message them on their Discord server (https://discord.gg/Pnf64Yt) and tell them that you'd like to buy the set from outside of the EU, and they'll be able to sort you out.

How does the color of the base alphas compare to the color of the alphas and/or modifiers on the ePBT 9009 set?  I have the 9009 set, and am trying to see if some of the kits in this set would color match the 9009, and having difficulties properly converting color codes (in part because I can't even find color codes for ePBT 9009, only the very similar GMK 9009).

Epbt 9009 was color matched to L9 (alphas). I believe epbt 2048 was also L9 (whole board). I fully expect ivory to be much darker and more brown than L9. I don't think they will mix and match well with 9009. I could see them serving as interesting accent to all one color sets like 2048.
