GMK RGBYK Add-on Kit (GMK RGB 2020) - LAUNCHING NEXT FRIDAY

[mimalik]

Wow R5 support, def in!!

[apejonk]

Personally I don't see the connection between the theme of the kit and windowed cherry keys. Beside the fact that pad printed keys are not exactly cool anyway.

Are you guys set on the new window logo? How about the old one? Or text?

Iirc the "old" retro one would be a padprinted legend due to the details of the icon.

This is what they did on the GMK Classic Retro set. Given how rarely I press this key (and given how good GMK pad printing is) I'd be totally okay with it.

I must say I would personally prefer the old/retro icon as well, though I am not entirely sure how it would look on the yellow background. Worth a shot, though, no pun intended.

Any chance for yellow shifts instead of winkeys? 

[ab042896]

Are the winkey legends being updated as a result of the poll?

That's CYMK Addon Kit, not RGB. If there's any interest I might run CYMK Addon kit.
But for now, no.

[adxlk]

They will be updated in due time. Considering the GB is around January, I want to get as many input as possible before making the appropriate change.

[ullr]

My personal preference is just RGB, and then RGB + yellow windows keys with modern (Windows 8 and 10) logo. Everything else is superfluous.

That's probably what's going to happen. Of course, the only variable been the logo

[futurecrime]

Yep to all this. Been waiting for someone to do it. Count me in.

[befbef]

Definitely in.
But it's a terrible name, was searching for this IC last week and couldn't find it.
Adding (rbgy) to the name could help recognizing this thread.

How are you going to insult the dodoland like that? Jk, will eventually change since big changes coming!

bump - updates on OP!

new kit - we're going with the Super keys instead of a Windows logo etc.

Removed the windowed keys and Esc keys, they'll come in a different kit down the road.

Good stuff.  New name works better for me. 

[RETURNISO]

Shame about the ESC keys.. where they killing the kit price?

[adxlk]

Yes and not much liking to it. Will make a vintage kit later on with rare stuff.

[adxlk]

For those who are feeling missed out about the led keys, no worries, a friend of mine is running it here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102526.0

Thanks man!

[LightningXI]

Ya think you could add an 1.25u orange Menu for 6.25u bottom row? I think it's the only thing that's missing.

[romevi]

Oh, wow. The greatest GMK RGB kit finally makes a return?!

I'll try to find a complementing color if not orange. But thanks, appreciate the input as always

Sure is. Strap on 

[hineybush]

Please keep the Cherry LED keys in the kit - it's my favorite part of the kit and I don't mind paying extra to have them in the kit

DW we will run them in the future with a more thought out and comprehensive cherry/esc addition kit

[cicy1030]

yes finally

purple is the classic inclusion

That's for CMYP imo

RGBY + O is actually a thing though

not inclined to disagree

[yuppie]

yes

[1391401]

bigly in, hope it's cheap enough that I can pick up a few

[tentboy]

super excited for this, not sure if i should pick up CMYK in the mean time to hold me over since i need some accents 

[HungerMechanic]

If I'm not mistaken, this might provide some colour for the old WYSE DCS keycaps [blue on white/beige], and might go well with 9009. I see people using these with white and beige-oriented sets.

I've seen alot of usage with beige style caps and it looks very good imo.  Im personally planning on adding it to my gmk classic beige

[PlastikSchnittstelle]

YES!
Thank you for making this!
Just yesterday I expressed my feelings about the poor adoption of R5.

[dorf]

Please add a 1.25 shift key with text + icon.

Exactly. And since you can use 9009 as a beige set, these will fit right in. 9009 R3 even has an R5 row, so you could use it with this set.

Is there a 2u shift key in there? The 2nd one is 2u or 1.75 I can't tell.

1.75

Thanks. Guess I am doomed for eternity to use the 0 key. Hope an Asia proxy is available and hope it's not zF.

Update 2.1 
____________

• Added 1.25u Menu Key.

[mellen]

my minimal is ready for this

[PlastikSchnittstelle]

If you use a standard 60% or any layout with the standard bottom row then there is still one key missing. given you have an old HAU, HAD or similar cherry set then you only have four (2x CTRL + 2x ALT) R5 1.5U caps. with this set you could do a full bottom row tsangan but when you want the standard with 6.25U spacebar you are still missing one cap:
1.25U | 1.25U | 1.25U | 6.25U | 1.25U | 1.25U | 1.25U | 1.25U

WAIT....
since I noticed this you have added the menu key. that's it, great! forget what I just wrote 

imo it would be nice to have the meta/super key and the menu key in classic beige but I understand that this would then limit the kit to be used with classic beige only. no problem for me, I had ordered missing keys, so I'm covered.

[ab042896]

Is there a common bottom row layout with the need for two 1U Super keys? Personally I know I would like for a 1.5U Super instead of one of these keys.

7u bottom row with win keys will require two 1u Super keys.
