Title: [IC] GMK Perestroika (Перестройка) | GB THREAD LIVE
Post by: koenoe on Wed, 02 October 2019, 08:25:38
GB THREAD: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104415.0

(https://gmk-perestroika.com/img/logo.png)

I hereby present GMK Perestroika (Перестройка) (https://gmk-perestroika.com) to you.

The rich dark red colour is a standout feature of this set. Its Cyrillic alphas give the set a unique aesthetic and are a nod to its name, Perestroika, which points to connotations of reformation and openness. In the same way, I hope its users will be empowered to be more daring - to unleash new ways of thinking and working when using the set.



Kits

(https://gmk-perestroika.com/img/base-kit.png)

The blend of beautiful Cyrillic and English characters is unique and symbolises the two-way thinking that made room for a new way of life in Russia. Just maybe, the kit could inspire you to try a new way of working.
This kit is large and includes numpad support and ISO support, making it a great choice for a variety of layouts.


(https://gmk-perestroika.com/img/usual-kit.png)

Not feeling the Cyrillics? Have no fear, you can convert the kit to be fully English (US/UK). Just like Gorbachev, the set strives to provide for the masses.
During the interest check, it was clear that it would be beneficial to create this, and so it’s ultimately the community’s kit.


(https://gmk-perestroika.com/img/unusual-kit.png)

For those among us who don’t fit the mould - this kit is for you. It covers the more unusual layouts, such as 40% and split.
After all, some of history’s greatest milestones were achieved by folks who did things a little differently.


(https://gmk-perestroika.com/img/modern-kit.png)

For the people who want it even more modern than the base kit. The Modern Kit covers a 60% keyboard layout to achieve a smart uniform look without the use of English legends.
Forward-thinkers, we salute you.



Colours

Alphas and mods - RAL 3005 (Wine Red)
Legends - RAL 9001 (Cream)

(https://gmk-perestroika.com/img/ral3005.png?foo=bar) (https://www.ralcolorchart.com/ral-classic/ral-3005-wine-red) (https://gmk-perestroika.com/img/ral9001.png) (https://www.ralcolorchart.com/ral-classic/ral-9001-cream)
The colours speak from themselves - a rich Wine Red and Cream.
If you want to get creative about it; try imagining a bowl of steaming Borscht soup, vibrant red, with a dollop of sour cream on top. Mmm.

A colour-match made in heaven and sure to look great on a variety of keyboards.

I don't have any plans for novelties, but if there's demand I'll consider it.

Nice.
But why are the function keys still English not Russian?
There's no GMK molds for that, so that would mean extra mold costs. As I'd like a big base kit, this would mean it'd become too expensive.

Correct, icons are centered.

+1 for the centered icon mods. However, I don't like the single-arrow Tab. Please consider putting a regular icon tab in the base kit and moving the new one to the modern kit.

Send a PM to the designer letting them know what is incorrect so they can fix it to be a proper Russian set. Being proactive is much more constructive than bellyaching about it. Also I highly doubt any of the designers would say no to having an actual Russian citizen help them make the set as it should be for proper Russian.

That's really not feasible. New GMK legend molds are around €150 each, and there are 34 different text molds in this set. That's around €5000 in legend mold costs alone. GMK might offer to cover half of that, but it's still a lot of money.

Yeah, I think this set calls for icon mods and nav cluster.
Having the english PGUP/PGDN looks a bit odd considering the legends.

I almost always abstain from mod design preferences. Really like what was done with 9009 recently in terms of changes but those vs text don't really matter that much to me like they do for others. That said, agree with MajorKoos here.

Kits updated!

I learned from the Interest form that not many people were a fan of the Mono tab in the base and unusual kit. Therefore I decided to move the Mono tab to the Modern kit and put a normal tab in the base and unusual kit.
Other than that I got a lot of positive feedback about the kits as they are, so no other changes (for now) :-)

I'd like to echo some of the other comments, seems like an odd choice to have full Cyrillic alphas with english mods on the bottom row. I understand that this could be avoided by purchasing the modern kit as well. However, it would be nice to just need the base kit and save some cost.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Perestroika (Перестройка) | Kits updated!
Post by: spakecdk on Fri, 01 November 2019, 20:37:13
Well, some mods will have to stay in english no matter what (like PrtScr, Home etc), so there is no getting around mixing the languages.

Okay, I can't take it anymore. Let me ask:

Shouldn't that R3 Ë key right by the vertical ("ISO") Enter be a /\ key instead, as the corresponding ones in R2 (1.5U) and R1 are?

If not, why not? (everything I've seen so far about the Russian national layout points to the movable key always having / and \ , while Ë, whenever present, is always in the top-left corner key)

You're absolutely right! Thank you, this is why ICs are so valuable.
Currently working on a few more kit changes and I hope to finalise them soon.

I created an account just to say that I'd buy a set if it also had Latin alphas.

I'm contradicting my earlier comment and the concept a little, but I'm currently working on the 'Usual Kit' which will contain Latin alphas.
After seeing Yugo struggle and Sparta being cancelled I feel like I can't ignore the requests for Latin alphas any longer.

Also happy to announce the GB will start the 1st of February 2020 and will run until the end of that month.

More updates soon!

Woot! I'm in!

I'm sad to hear that Yugo is struggling. I'm in on that GB and I really want it to succeed. It's a great colorway and concept.

Is there a set of icons that work for the print scroll pause, insert home page up, delete end page down keys? Would be cool to only see Cyrillic. I don’t think the micons kits used them, though, and new molds really runs the price up...

Good to hear about the usual latin set  ;D

Are you planning on adding any accents or novelty sets? Would give some nice options to spice it up a bit in terms of colors.
The yellow color from my attachments (ussr flag included) could work very well with the Perestroika theme and could give the set a nice touch.
If you ask me, it would work well as color for the legends, but that's another topic.

Just giving my 2 cents / 2 kopeyki ;)

There is a set of icons for those keys, yes. Look here (from Carbon R2): https://i.imgur.com/QY03WJL.png

I think those icons are looking really weird, so I'm not keen on having them in my set. Having said that, I'll do some research what molds are available.

Would a full alpha kit be much more expensive?

The alpha kit has 46 keys and it would need 12 more, so I'd wager it'd be about 25% more expensive.

This is a really good red color. Wonder how it would be on U80a port....

Any of my 40's/ortho friends who dont use 2.25 2.75u split bars and want the rest of the extension kit, I'm up for splitting again.

I am also imagining it on my u80a port.  I would probably go for this set, instead of the GMK burgundy

I've played around with offering a full alpha kit in order to get compatibility for two boards, but because I don't have accent keys it would mean I'd had to duplicate too many keys resulting in the kit becoming way too big.

I'm glad that you have learned from Yugo that capitalism is never to be ignored! A Rama or Salvan artisan would be great to include, especially since there are no novelties.

I was already on board, but now with a Latin kit (even as a add-on), and updated alphas, I'm totally in.

SUPER grateful for the "Usual Kit" :D thank you!
Other designers should follow and offer "Latin Alphas" as an option at least e.g. GMK Masterpiece  :(

You can’t mix and match. Each set has its own MOQ.
