great!
what about GMK RGB w/ white legend including 1.75x shift?
Redline sells GMK RGB w/ black legend including 1.75x shift, but when originative sold GMK RGB w/ white legend, there isn't 1.75x shift.
Which has a hint of orange to it ;O

Would the mustard be the one that is on offer at EK? I was wondering if they were the same color as the CMY yellow or not.
The other way to do it, would be to have color legend on black or dark grey key. It would be more subtle style that would still fit in better with white on color and take care of the contrast problem. I was also planning to try an RGB set like that with color legend on beige and/or black keys.

That actually looks really good. I'd use those.
RGB legends on beige was done quite a bit on some Alps boards back in the day like thisGood to see the Omnikey. i prefer White Legends on Colours .Show Image(http://escrapohio.com/ebaypictures/1998-1.JPG)
I think it looks pretty good like that.
I think the colored legends would be nice on black keys for sure. Darker colors for better contrast. I'd like to see how they look on beige before I pass judgment.
very interested...
plz legending on shift !!!

Put white letters on Both Shifts plz, Dubs! :thumb: " To fulfil the Mission! "
ISO stuff will always be available in my buys when possible. At least the modifiers are not so difficult... alpha sets remains to be seen.
There are a lot of different tastes. The tricky thing is coming up with things that have a broad enough appeal that are interesting which will make the MOQ.
I just got a GMK stock color ring in (it's actually a few dozen keycaps with lasered color codes on them), don't have a camera though :(
I'd be in for a set! (especially if GMK)
looks good and good to do it!
I'd be interested in at least one set of these, perhaps a few!
Things are being planned guys...
Input on the mustardy or the cmyk yellow would be nice, it's a big decision

To tackle the GMK MOQ, I would recommend a set containing:
2x WoM 1.00 Ctrl
2x WoM 1.25 Ctrl
2x WoM 1.50 Ctrl
2x WoC 1.00 Alt
2x WoC 1.25 Alt

2x WoY 1.25 Shift
2x WoY 1.75 Shift
2x WoY 2.25 Shift
2x WoY 2.75 Shift
Total 20 keys
I know there a number of extras, however it also means we only need to hit 200 MOQ as everything is in even numbers.

I think WoY might not have a strong enough contrast, however the WoC and WoM look really good, so when the three are used together it would look very nice. On blanks, personally I am not really fond of blanks.
I forgot to check the EK yellow and the CMYK yellow when I got them (Go damn it!), however IIRC they were the same (Don't quote me on this :P).
Although if the yellow are Shift with only the arrow on it - would it really matter? Also Shifts are generally amongst the largest keys on the keyboard, so it would be kinda obvious what they are.
I'd prefer white on the CMY yellow. Contrast won't be great, but it will look fine and will be way more consistent. Blank shifts would stand out a lot more and aren't appealing to me at all.
Since the whole point of this is to match the white legends on many sets (Dolch, WoB) I think it's better suited to keep the legend color White even on the Yellow shifts. Yes, there may be contrast issues, but the whole point is to get consistent legends colors, so if we do something else with it we will just mess up that continuity that we're actually aiming for here.
So I vote for White legends on Yellow.
Just an FYI guys, The Shift Caps will actually feature 'shift' and the arrow, as opposed to the original CMYK gb, with just the arrow.

Too bad. I much prefer the more minimal look without the text.

Textless makes sense when there's other textless modifiers, e.g. caps, tab, return... but when it's just the shifts, it just seems out of place.

Short ones = B profile
Tall ones = A profile
Personally, I find A profile so, so much better.
Isn't B profile compatible with the newer sets coming from GMK, though? It would look odd to have only a few A profile caps…Look at old Cherry sets. They use A-profile bottom rows, while the rest of the set is the same as new GMK sets. A profile matches just as well as B profile. It just gives a slightly different look and feel.

Sherry's BSP beige two tone sets have A-profile bottom rows. His BSP RGB modifiers have B-profile bottom rows. His GMK sets have B-profile bottom rows.
I'm aware that A profile matches in that sense. One of the original thoughts behind this IC though was matching CMYW with Dolch. Seems like a fair number of people will be using Sherry's GMK Dolch, which means the bottom row would be a mix of A and B profiles. Seems like a bummer.
There's not really a perfect solution to this though. Would it be possible to include A and B profile bottom rows in the kit? Creating separate kits doesn't seem to be the solution at all since MOQ is still a challenge.
If you are using 60%, A profile would work perfect, but factor in all the boards that won't be just 60%, and A profile wont really match well. I think I'd prefer A, for form and because I'm using a 60%, but for the whole group I think it's better for B profile, just for the sake of matching. I wish everyone could have the chance to try A! Maybe then everyone would jump for A.
Might be worth checking how much more it would cost to include both profiles. I'd be willing to pay for both to have the options.

That's a good idea, but then you have to think about factoring in 1.25 AND 1.5 mods...would probably jack up the price a bit.
It would be..
2x WoM 1.00 Ctrl B
2x WoM 1.25 Ctrl B
2x WoM 1.50 Ctrl B
2x WoC 1.00 Alt B
2x WoC 1.25 Alt B
2x WoC 1.50 Alt B
2x WoM 1.00 Ctrl A
2x WoM 1.25 Ctrl A
2x WoM 1.50 Ctrl A
2x WoC 1.00 Alt A
2x WoC 1.25 Alt A
2x WoC 1.50 Alt A
2x WoY 1.25 Shift B
2x WoY 1.75 Shift B
2x WoY 2.25 Shift B
2x WoY 2.75 Shift B
then..alt gr possibly, and then one unit blanks... I think it might be too much
Hmm, that's very true...I wonder if there could be any support for doing one size (1.25 or 1.5) in both profiles and the other sizes in only one? I know that might be controversial but I'm just throwing it out there.
I'd prefer to buy just one set, but I'd be in for two in a heartbeat if it was necessary to hit MOQ.

Should be easy to meet MOQ I suppose

yeah I posted it over there a few days ago and have been talking with some people.
I think they can help with about 100-150 orders for MOQ
Was it posted at OTD? I didn't there because of the american-telephone-sign-up problems haha

may be sifo or meosis can help ?
Can't seem to find it on otd either :'(
Probably because JackAss posted it on kbd... I guess someone could cross post it to otd with no harm done.

No worries. Ivan mentioned (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=52445#msg1162554) there may be a chance the GB for CMYK may be re-run in spring.

After some thought..as much as I'd love A, the price of including it will be too great for some. The Goal of this GB is to hit and test the new MOQ, and so A will be kept out.

What is the difference between ALT GR and ALT?
What is the difference between ALT GR and ALT?
ALT GR is not the same as ALT. Its a complete different key with complete different function as ALT. You use this key for the third layer of a key. On ANSI boards you have to press CTRL+ALT to get the function of ALT GR.
Its a pitty everybody thinks its just another ALT with different labeling.
If it doesnt affect anyone because most people know where the mods are, whats the problem to make it ALT GR? I mean.....you know its the right hand ALT. :p
Especially with view to the programmable keyboards it might be even a good idea to have an "extra" layer key (which is different labelled than the normal ALT). From my point of view two keys with same function on one keyboard is a bit of waste.
