[IC] GMK RGBK Mod Pack - GB to start on Friday 7/17!

[Hzza]

Just chiming in again to say that I love the symbol only shifts and getting Alt Gr as well is a nice bonus.

FWIW, I wouldn't use yellow winkeys; I prefer to just have the controls, alts and shifts colourful and leave everything else standard.

[Blackhawk]

I really like the addition of the AltGr keys.

Personally I don't care much for win/menu keys as I wouldn't use them. But if the majority prefers these keys being added, I don't see a problem in that either.

[yomammary]

You have my interest.

[wlhlm]

My two cents:

I'd prefer to have the set RGB clean and don't include yellow keys, I don't care for Windows/Menu keys.

Instead of admiralvorian's suggestion of 1.75u Control, I'd like to see a red R4 1.25u CapsLock and a red R5 1.5u CapsLock added.

Feng's rgby was pretty spot on.

49$ a set, maybe an extra Esc, everyone's happy.

Was it $49 before shipping? But like I said before, if we get more than enough orders I will gladly add menu/windows keys.

Yes before: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=54442.0

I don't care for the 4 Alt Gr's, not having the right size key is one thing but it's a lot extra considering all I and many other need are:

 

[ATXTider]

It still seems backwards to me to add 'Alt Gr' and ISO shift keys and say "I might add winkeys l8r", rather than the reverse.

If the goal is to create comprehensive set of RGBK, I think it makes perfect sense.

[Jester00]

ISO user here, I don't get why people want the AltGr key, I think it looks much cleaner with two normal Alt.

[swornxin]

Yup, count me in for one.

I can't speak for everyone here, but there are a lot of ISO, as well as WKL users here.  With that in mind we wanted to provide compatibility to those that are typically left out.  I am not saying that there are not many WinKey users, but our initial plan was to run RGBK.  With all of the interest in WK, we will consider it depending on cost and final order amount. 

We are doing our best to make this set all encompassing for everyone.  Adding WK's to the set could push it over the $50 mark, and could prevent some people to buy a set.  You have to remember that geekhack has all walks of life as members.  Some members are older, some are still in high school.  We are aiming this set to as many people as possible while still making it affordable.  If there ends up being an overwhelming amount of orders, WK support will be the first thing added.  Until then, we are going to stick with our initial plan of max compatibility.

lol, never heard of a ISO user that hated AltGr... crazy times we live! Do you know that AltGr is a historical combo for Control+Alt right? A bit of info for the newbies, btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key

Well hopefully our kits will be under that $49 dollar mark even with shipping. I want this to be affordable.

This. It is supposed to be able to be used with any layout possible.

I would like to have symbol+text on both my shift keys. So if we could add a symbol+text left ISO shift it would be nice. Like Feng's GB.

[MAR82]

I know you'll not want to add it. But if you really want "any layout possible", you need to add a 2u Shift for G80-11900 support

Wow wow wow. New mockup is perfect for my Viper ha ha ha

"Hate" is the wrong word, I just don't really care. As I said I think the normal Alt, beeing just one word, has a much cleaner look.

What's the consensus on paying for sorting for faster shipping? It's a hefty 2 euros per set, but it will allow for faster shipping.

Other tid-bits of information are that MOQ is 250 sets just like normal. I am inquiring about extra keys at price breaks so if we do hit that then we will be looking at getting the 1u R4 window/menu keys. Price is still tentative as we must still figure out all of our applicable fees. We are hoping to have it around or below ~$50/set before shipping.

If that price is too high, we can look at cutting some of the "alt gr" keys. Please leave your feedback.

We will also have the bonus of being able to choose 1 key that is can be made using any of the three colors in the set. The legend can be whatever we want but it will most likely be a "code", "joker", or "esc". Which color and legend would you guys like to see? Red, Blue or Green?

What you did there, I SEENT it!

Why 1u? 1.25u would be more useful to people than a non standard 1u size

I would personally think more people are going to be using this with Classic Beige, and if I had to guess, I would guess more people are going to be putting classic beige on wkl layouts

Exactly

[LechnerDE]

Missed this thread until now!

Of course I'd be interested

[Giorgio]

Yellow. White font. I like that.

Feng's rgby was pretty spot on.

[Jokrik]

Just wanna let you know that I will br all over this
Been looking for rgb gmk with black font, it goes well with classic beige than those with white font

Cant wait

[ApocalypseMaow]

Would love to have this set!!!

[Giorgio]

As an iso user, erase alt gr and add yellow blank 1.25  keys.

[romevi]

I'm all over this. As a new Cherry MX user, I don't have any RGB sets; this'll be my first.
But I'd love to have a WinKey and Esc later if you make them.

[ninjadoc]

Yes I would be interested

[oomph]

Nice, I've been hoping for some RGBK 

Though now I'm going to need a red GMK Esc with black lettering to go with this. If you give a mouse a cookie..

[HelixDan]

Pls add Esc! and windows key (1u and 1.25u)

I believe more people would be happy, all my keyboard include windows key, only Ctrl Alt and Shift can not fit me

[radio_killah]

Not sure if everyone saw this but:

 "We will also have the bonus of being able to choose 1 key that is can be made using any of the three colors in the set. The legend can be whatever we want but it will most likely be a "code", "joker", or "esc". Which color and legend would you guys like to see? Red, Blue or Green?"

Let me know guys.

Also as for price, we are looking at somewhere in the ball park of $42 before shipping per set. That is NOT final.

[Giorgio]

One key? Perfect, I like to have two extra keys. I say, let's have two yellow 1,25 keys :-)

[radio_killah]

I should mention that this extra key would be row 1. However as long as we get enough orders for a price break Ghost and I are prepared to add on yellow windows keys.

Yellow Win keys (and an orange Esc) would be divine. In any case, I'm already in.

[shower_king]

yellow 1×win and yellow ESC

[oomph]

I have to put my vote on a red Esc with black lettering.

Basic, but it'd look perfect with Photek's beige and keep the theme of both. Besides, if it doesn't exist on google, I want it


If orange/etc. were preferable because of the color conflict with Control, I'd understand--just love me some red Esc's

Odd idea  :eek:

[ghostjuggernaut]

Our options are either red, blue, or green with black text. It's up to everyone which row, 1 or 4, and which legend, ESC/joker/code. Me personally, I think ESC would be the best option to maximize usability. Let us know your thoughts, we will be choosing the key by Monday.

[Blackhawk]

I like the red esc with black lettering idea

Thank you Blackhawk.

This is the type of info we need. Keep your thoughts coming.

[Hzza]

Black on red Esc is cool and not super common. I like the idea of a black on green row 4 code as well; it could go in-between ctl and alt on winkeyless boards or right of shift on split shift boards. Only problem is it isn't all that useful on winkey/non split shift boards...

To me this mockup :




is still perfect.


But if people want Esc Key, black on Red is great . But put at least 2 in it, not just one, since this kit can populate at least 2 boards.

Be carefull about not adding too much caps It can raise the price of the kit by a lot.

Well this is a freebie being thrown in by GMK, so it would only be on cap.
