Europe : https://www.candykeys.com
Korea : http://kbdlab.co.kr/index.php?document_srl=4885028&mid=board_gb_outside

This set will be maded by limited quantities.
 - Base : 150 set.
 - LED + Space bar : 100 set.
 Dead line will be 31/12/2017 but if limited quantities will be reached before dead line,GB closed.
 Also if over base 120 set/LED+Space bar 80 set will be participated, GB will be confirmed to progress.
 if not reached this Qty. in dead line, GB will be droped.

In case of the Donutcat and KBDLAB already opened. So order is possible.
Candykeys maybe today will be opened...

I hope that moderators will see my thread soon and approve  GB.

[22/11/2017]
3D renderings are uploaded

Thanks to Oblotzky for Rendering! 







[05/11/2017]
Final renderings are below.
I have found the US proxy but not easy.
Almost processes to start GB excepting proxy were done.

I hope that I will start the GB with this set soon. .

Hi.
I am cocobrais and come again here.
Burgundy GB will be finished and I have been preparing next GB as below,

Basic concept is 'Signal', but I need some time for point sets. So I write just 'Blue on Black"
And you can find the R4 modi design is same with YURI. I discussed this design with T0mb3ry and he accept to use this.
So I think that this is no problem.

And I will modify something but not fixed yet. Just basic concept (blue on black) is fixed.
- considering other color for side legends.  => Side legends is fixed as blue.
- Some other keys
- Add the point keys ==> Point keys are updateded

Are you interest this keycap set?

- GMK
- Total 144 keys
- ABS double shot excepting side legends. (Side legends is pad printing)
- For Standard 3000 win/winkeyless, 1800 winkeyless/win-winkeyless, ISO, extra left shift for 660M, Some happy user etc.



[08/10, 2017] Updated.
- Rendering is updated.
- Some keys are deleted and added. (Total 147 keys)
*** 1xESC will be deleted and updated...(wrong)
Still I have been considering to make a new kit. (Space bar and 3-lock LED keys set)



[09/09, 2017] Huge Updated.
- Rendering is updated.
- Some keys are added as requests
- NORDE Kit and Space bar/LED Kit are designed.

I'd like to progress this set, but I think that these set will be high price because of so many key/New mold for point key/accent key and Exchange rate....
Maybe in case of the base set, MOQ 150 will be hell.....MOQ 250 will be about $160....So sad.
So maybe I will have to adjust the keys and kits....







[01/10, 2017] Final Update.
Firstly I am sorry for many ISO users.
I deleted many keys and kits for huge diet. 

This is my final update.

I hope that this keyset will be progressed.



[14/10, 2017] Relly Final Update.
This rendering is really final update version.
For ISO, Novelty key was deleted.
And For 1800 winkey user, 6U off centered space bar and related keys were added.
I hope that this rendering will be good for many guys.

Base kit



Space bar and LED kit

GMK Hydro used N9 not CR.

Correct! very different. Hydro have colors as Base GR1 / N9 / N5 and legends V4 / N5 / N9.

[Vigrith]

This is really cool actually.

[pixelpusher]

I like it!  We've had so much cyan lately.  This true blue is refreshing and classic.

[Puddsy]

OG style mods and I am in.

I was ready to hate it when I saw the thread title, but the render is really nice.

[amnesia0287]

Do want. Much lots.

Would you consider a black on blue mod pack too? (If there is interest)

[Atredl]

I know this could have been done with any B*** on B*** set but I kind of like the sound of GMK Bob

now not planned because of MOQ. But if many user want, I will try

Maybe some point keys will be designed, I will change the name as Signal

[wholypantalones]

Like everything but the icon mods.

[TheNamesTy45]

Didn't want to like yet another set. I now like yet another set. I think the icons mods are cool with the colorway, but that's just my opinion.

[finalarcadia]

Been seeing a lot of hate for icon mods. Isn't GMK 9009, pretty much the most sought after set lately, icon mods?

Anyway, needless to say, I like the icon mods and I would prefer the base to be N9 though. There's just something about the full N9 sets that make them them look great, such as skidata or terminal.

I think N9 would look like hydro.  I think the darker black color helps the blue to pop more

[finalarcadia]

Here's Hydro for reference:

I think the mods pop quite well, and it'll still be a different set since you're changing alphas completely.

I know this. I have Hydro.  I still think the deep blue would pop better on black.  I <3 skidata+ and I'm still waiting for it to run again.  Just think using black would be more unique compared to what is currently out there.

[Vigrith]

Icon mods or bust for me. That's what makes the set imo.

[roostrc0gburn]

i'm just gonna leave these here for reference.. this was a gb LZ ran last year. hoping there will be some sort of cross-compatibility with this set

Oh!! My first GB in geekhack.

Does the mold for R3 1.75u icon control key not exist? Would seem silly to have a text key in a full icon keyset.

need to check the mold to GMK. If GMK doesn't have the mold, we have to make a mold and this will be lead to increase cost. I will check.

N9 is pretty good. But nowdays many sets have been maded by N9 base. I don't want to use N9 in this time.

Do it nice or do it twice, I always say.

I don't mind the icon mods, but I hate the bottom row icons. Throw in some Control, Alt, Code/ Windows and Menu keys too.

[romevi]

Too black.

[wukong_bot]

Icon mods please!!! I've been waiting for a set like this actually

Don't worry. This set will be maded by Icon modi.

[Atredl]

I'll admit that in the past I was a icon mod detractor but what sold me on this set was seeing the upper icon mods combined with the icon bottom row. Mixed and matched just doesn't look as good.

Any thought of using the icon "fn" that was used in Yuri? I think it would really bring it together.

Yuri had a regular Fn key.

Okay, good point.

They could still be used as fn "layer" keys to keep up the uniform icon look.

[aznreaper]

I love a good colour on black like terminal and forge. This looks really nice as well.

Any idea on how much you think this would be going for though?

[kekstee]

I have two things come to mind:

1) V4 on CR is a very dark and saturated combination, guess that's a bit difficult. But if you change that and keep the dark/blue theme it would be N9 base or a full "blue Skidata" with N9+N5... a completely different set.
Doesn't GMK offer this exact combination on their Uniqey? How does it look in reality? Any pictures?

2) I love your decision to go with icon mods (and the ISO arrow instead of handbag caps)... except for two: Ctrl and Alt. It's like using a full icon nav cluster. Possible, but really weird.

1) V4 on CR is little bit dark as your mention. But I think that it is not problem. As you know, real force and happy also dark gray on Black but not problem. I will try to get the Uniqey from GMK but I am not sure to provide it. Color concept will be fixed soon.
2) When I check the interest in VIKINGS, some user commented that YURI modi and I also want to use full icon.

I will update new rendering with some point keys and changed layout. 

[Cocopah]

I like the set, I say stick with v4. Also can you please add a 00 key and a 6u centered spacebar.

[cocobrais]

00 key will be added. Already I requested this to GMK. Regarding 6U centered spacebar, many users want this, I will. 

[cocobrais]

Updated!

[pixelpusher]

So will the updated version have a blue escape with text "Esc"?

[beamingrobot]

I'm in, Burgundy was a very well run GB, and I'm a sucker for black + blue

[amnesia0287]

I like the new changes, as long as there are spacebars I'll probably buy 2

Blue esc was deleted because of add the point keycap. But not fixed yet. Still considering including or not.

Did you receive it? Good. Thanks

I am always considering. I don't know what is best solution...one full set or separately kit...I will consider it.

Either is good for me. I just wanna make sure I can get a v4 spacebar SOMEHOW. Since I'm not aware of another way to get one that would match.
