Group buy is LIVE here! (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102762.0)
Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs, Ladies and Gentlemen...
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to GMK Phosphorous, a set I have been working on for these past few weeks.
History
One day, not long ago, I was browsing RAMA WORKS' website, contemplating the M60-A in Moon, and I took a closer look at their renders. It had a simple grey and blueish-cyan keycap set, which I immediately fancied. Since RAMA and I were DM-ing back and forth about my M60-A Moon pre-order, I asked about the set. Turned out that it was just a render and they suggested I just go make it myself. I started mocking up the set that same evening.
The Moon colour on the M60-A from RAMA WORKS is a cool grey which I really fancy but the icing on the cake was the phosphor filled enamel product code and RAMA logo. These two colours inspired my own colour choices.
[attachimg=36]
Objectives
I wanted to make GMK Phosphorous as affordable as possible, while retaining the character of the set I had imagined, hence I dropped the NumPad from the Core kit. I also decided to skip a separate Novelties set, deciding to go down the minimalistic route and include a select few unique keys in the Core kit itself.
Caveats
My inspiration was based solely on the M60-A Moon. Yes, I realise there are similar looking keycap sets out there, "but this one is mine" (as they say, meaning that I did not use them for inspiration). I was actually working on another set (which I put on hold) because I fell in love with this colourway.
[attachimg=2]
Huge Hugs
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people who helped me with everything from choosing colours, to pointing me in the right direction, to supporting my idea and helping me not give up. In alphabetical order (apart from Yuliia at the top, because she's had to endure a lot of PMs from me!):
- NecrowomanX
- Abec13
- ISO_Returns
- Janglad
- Langelandia
- NecromanX
- Oblotzky

Pantone's Cool Gray 11 C should be exactly one shade darker than the Moon grey that RAMA uses (Cool Gray 10 C), introducing subtle contrast between the two.

Thanks. ☺️ Also, you can never have too many GMK sets. 😉

Also, why use "Num lock", 2 line, when you also use one lines such as "Print", "Lock", "Pause"? I'd change to "Num".
In addition, because you're using icon mods and (hopefully) one line modifiers, I'd also change the icon for divide and multiply on the numpad to the alternate versions.
Edit: also, why did you include a third 1u ISO key? Since you omitted the numrow, it makes no sense. :) Just remove one of the additional iso specific keys to save on the base cost.
Post by: Moridin on Wed, 05 June 2019, 03:55:40
Is there a reason you wouldn't just do N9 and N5? Seems really similar to the pantones you've chosen.

Then again, these are PBT Double-shot (better IMO, but harder to produce) and not readily available.

love the atomic key
Post by: Moridin on Wed, 05 June 2019, 10:03:04
It's fine that it's not N9, but a lot of us have a set with that color. Any way to show the two next to each other? (Does N9 have an approximate Pantone?)
love the atomic key
I could ask someone to try to render both colours next to each other, to show the difference. I'll keep this in mind.
This is a very rough estimate of Pantone colours which are "close to" N9, with Cool Gray 11 C for comparison. Do not use this for reference a good quality photo would be better.

Quiet similar the stock keycaps of certain Leopold PD keyboards
Then again, these are PBT Double-shot (better IMO, but harder to produce) and not readily available.Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190605/4f7bdf434e2808d30443d07d315670df.jpg)
That looks quite good! I did not know that. The legends are more cyanish I believe, but hard to tell. Still, a very nice keycap set.
Post by: Moridin on Wed, 05 June 2019, 10:05:54
I like the simplicity of the color way and that you stuck to 2 colors.
That was one of my objectives I rarely see that look and I like it myself.

GMK works in RAL colors. When you move to samples I recommend ordering a few candidate RAL chips - https://usa.ral-shop.com/product/ral-p1-sample/
I will, thanks! 🖖🏻
Post by: Moridin on Wed, 05 June 2019, 11:20:50
I told Moridin to consider this. Since this year is 350 anniversary of discovery phosphorus by Hennig Brand in 1669 why not commemorate it (the first element to be discovered that was not known since ancient times). I added 1669 by his initials. Maybe even make H and B blue like "P"
What do you guys think?

Also N9 now matches Terminal, Q:01, Skidata, and Nines; you can do lots of interesting color combinations, and having this in N9 would be fun. IMO it would look GREAT with Skidata as a kind of homage to the garish blue case of the original Skidata terminal.

I have no personal preference either way, since I dont use TKLs (apart from aesthetics and consistency), so curious what others think. Let me know.

I like the "one word" versions on the 1u keys. But the Caps Lock key might need something more than just "Lock", it looks kind of bare that way.
That is not a Caps Lock key. 😘

The reason I (and presumably others) like it is because it looks cleaner and therefore I prefer it with icon mod sets. If there are no icon mods, I don't care for it either. Also, it looks cleaner with numpads that don't use sublegends. Aesthetically I see no reason to mix clean elements of a set with cluttered ones.
So for sets with text+icon mods, go for sublegends on the numpad and two line 1u mods, imo anyway.
In any case, mixing both like this set does is a sin in my books. Even if he won't use 'num', at least change the rest lol. Inconsistencies are my biggest gripe.

I already replied in Discord that the Num Lock key was an oversight and it will be changed to Num. 😉 Errare humanum est.

the 40s kit has a 1.5u return key but its depicted as a 1.25u key (I'm being lazy and not checking if its been mentioned until now).
Either way, having 2x1.25u r3 keys makes this a very attractive kit for me (and other Katana60 owners...

Feels appropriate that we get a Rama cap with this one. Hoping for Moon Gray with blue enamel infil, possibly the periodic table design, although might look a little odd having something that's basically an alpha in the Esc position... I'm sure some awesome ideas for it, can't wait to see more!

I personally like as much text as possible (i.e. Control over Ctrl, Caps Lock over Lock), but everything has to be in one line, as per Emir suggested!
Everything should be on one line now, after the fix. Apart from the novelty p key, but I guess thats understandable.

No, sadly. It would probably cost a fortune.
It would be prohibitively expensive if someone tried to do it as a doubleshot set from GMK because of all the new molds required, but it would be feasible to do it as a dyesub set. At that point it's not much different from using a custom font. It's similar to what was done for XDA Scrabble, but without licensing costs.

Well, all the novelties kits are always completely new moulds. While it costs a lot, I wouldn't say it's prohibitively expensive (as it's done regularly).
Correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK GMK don't do dye sublimation, just double shot injection moulding.

Here are my ideas:
1. Add to Core, change nothing else.
2. Add to Spacebars, since there's an accented Spacebar in there too.
3. Add to Core, move ISO keys to NumPad, expand ISO with more keys (only 16% of total potential buyers are currently interested in the NumPad kit) this would help NumPad reach MOQ.
I'd love some feedback.

As you may have noticed, Abec13 rendered accented arrows in a few of his renders, despite this not being part of the my vision of GMK Phosphorous. I know some of you have suggested adding them so at this point, I am really tempted to do so.

2. Add to Spacebars, since there's an accented Spacebar in there too.
3. Add to Core, move ISO keys to NumPad, expand ISO with more keys (only 16% of total potential buyers are currently interested in the NumPad kit) this would help NumPad reach MOQ.
I'd love some feedback.
I really like how the accented arrows came out, I really love this set(favorite color is blue and you chose a beautiful one) so any way to see that added is a plus.
Option 1, 2 or 3 works for me as I will be buying core, numpad and spacebars anyways. But option 1 or 3 makes the most sense to me personally.
And is there an estimated timeframe when you would look to run this set? After seeing the renders I want it yesterday...

As you may have noticed, Abec13 rendered accented arrows in a few of his renders, despite this not being part of the my vision of GMK Phosphorous. I know some of you have suggested adding them so at this point, I am really tempted to do so.

Which kits are you interested in purchasing?
- 96.6% want the Core kit.
- 16.8% want the NumPad kit.
- 22.7% want the 40s/Ortho kit.
- 37.8% want the Spacebars kit.
- 2.5% will not be purchasing anything.
Would you want to buy a NorDEUK kit?
- 87.4%: NO!
- 12.6%: YES!
Should I drop the 6U Spacebars to lower the price of the Spacebars kit?
Basically 50/50 split on the replies. 6u Spacebars will stay.
Suggestions:
Quote
accent color arrow keys, please :)
Maybe a cyan colored arrow kit as an alt color scheme to give a little more pop?
Added to Core kit.
Quote
Using stock colors N9/N5/ might help lower the price and allow easier mix'n'matching by people who already have N9 sets. Not sure how close N9 is to your base color however.
I considered doing N9 but ultimately it's too dark a shade of grey for what I wanted.
Quote
Ergodox kit!!!! Please. Would be so awesome to not have to cobble one together from the base kit.
I will start another IC form and include a question for Ergodox.
Quote
How about a sweet deskmat?
Hmm...
Quote
Rama key with that palette would be amazing.
Ne Rama cap avail... :P
A potential RAMA novelty would be sick!
I will hopefully have something to show you soon...

Colevrak pls T_T
Colemak kit pleeeeeeease!!!!! <3333333333333
Two (2) people asked for Colevrak. Any more?
There were more suggestions in the IC form but they seemed very specific and dedicated for a minority I'm sorry if I didn't address them but please do leave a comment if you'd like to expand on the topic further.

I received the following suggestion:Quote1.25u and 1.5u keys in 40% set to make it work alone for non ortho boards
Would love some feedback from 40% users on this.
The 40% kit has no Alt or Ctrl keys included. Neither in 1u, 1.25 or 1.50. So for a full set of modifiers you are forced to get the Core for these keys. So it is the same problem both for ortho and none ortho 40%s, as both can not use the 40 kit without Core. But I guess this is intentional

With my responses to your second IC, I did mention the creation of an Ergodox/Boardwalk kit as a stretch goal. It would be nice. The core kits are already extremely nice and I wouldn't want anything superfluous to create unnecessary risks. Like I said, it's a stretch goal.
With regards to a deskmat, I'd love to see some hexagons and some Iron Man ****. However you interpret that, I'm sure it'll be great! :p

I think you should give an ergo kit a shot. Just a stand-alone kit with the mods only. No need to put alphas in. It'll be more beneficial to boardwalk folks this way and be easier to reach MOQ

Exactly this!
This should be designed as a child kit that only includes the very specific keys needed for this layout. Would a smaller, simpler kit reduce MOQ?
I think those interested would appreciate if you simply researched the idea and provided some insight into its feasibility.
Keep up the great work!

We dont have AC in flats, houses, and apartments, for the most part. Average temp should be around 23-25°C at this time of year. Its probably 45°C inside my apartment around noon already, what with it facing the sun.

...Not sure how you are alive atm. Texas has one thing, AC everywhere because we know it gets hot af during summer. I lived in a city for a while that was probably around 42+ every single day during summer and didn't rain, but at least I had AC. I studied abroad in Spain and the apartment I was in had no AC and we weren't allowed to use fans at all, which sucks when it was always high 30's during the day and low 30's at night. Sleeping was a chore.
Post by: dorf on Thu, 13 June 2019, 02:13:10
Is there a reason you wouldn't just do N9 and N5? Seems really similar to the pantones you've chosen.
Also, why use "Num lock", 2 line, when you also use one lines such as "Print", "Lock", "Pause"? I'd change to "Num".
In addition, because you're using icon mods and (hopefully) one line modifiers, I'd also change the icon for divide and multiply on the numpad to the alternate versions.
Edit: also, why did you include a third 1u ISO key? Since you omitted the numrow, it makes no sense. :) Just remove one of the additional iso specific keys to save on the base cost.
Re 1: I wanted to be as close to RAMA's Cool Gray 10 C and the phosphor filled enamel as possible.
Re 2: Noted.
Re 3: Which key are you referring to exactly? It's probably staring me in the face, but I am apparently blind.
Personal preference i know, but those single line "lock", "print" ect are the reason i ended up selling some of my sets, way uglier than the og way of doing it imo
Totally agree

Thanks for all the comments in the IC form those are invaluable. My biggest regret is NorDEUK because there are currently 7 (seven) people who have declared their intent to purchase it and we would need at least 40, to buy out to an MOQ of 50... 😞

I think accent arrows/spacebars should go in spacebar kit. Getting a cheap base is a very important part for getting people into the GB imo.

Most people voted against this. I was considering moving all accents to Spacebars but the overwhelming majority (which surprised me) said no in the feedback form.

Although I suppose it's possible to use the R1 Delete key it might be nice to include a R1 backspace key for boards like Preonic and Iris.

Worried about the timing if this comes out too soon since IMO there's overlap between set and other dark themed sets. GMK Oblivion, Dracula, Dots, etc. Also, maybe overkill since you already have a U80 render but would love to see a Moon KOYU render (which is what I got).
I want it out next week. 2 months tops. Need it for my keyboard!!! Not going to happen unless the whole project is drenched in magical unicorn tears. In all seriousness: waiting for info from GMK at the moment. We'll know more when we get that. :-)

Adding a separate set of teal on white alphas. Keyforge artisan collab.

Tilde/Grave key in R4 would be cool, albeit a pretty uncommon legend placement.

Some kind of Novelty set would be nice, or a artisan knob for the Satisfaction75 (or any other encoder)
All the planned novelties are included in the Core kit (dots and P key). I wanted to retain some sort of minimalism.

icons and text modifiers if possible please :)
I wanted to but the majority voted against this. :-(

Theoretically possible. I will consider this. Any votes for or against?

I have spent many hours over the past week, working on various bandolier designs for the final packaging (some of which you may have seen over in the Discord channel, but only a few). Anyway, I think I'm close to completing this part of the project. Which do you like more? Left or right?
(Attachment Link)
I think the one on the left looks more representative of the set being primarily grey with the blue accents popping out. I wouldn't mind the one on the right either but it looks a bit strange in my mind especially when we think of other sets as examples for what I said above. Imagine if Chocolatier had a white or blue box even though those were the more minor colors.

I see there's been some worry about whether NorDeUK hits MOQ. I've only been in a couple of GBs; what exactly happens if it doesn't hit MOQ, can I cancel my base kit order? Without a NorDeUK kit I would be a lot less interested tbh.

Oh wow, just found this. Reminds me of GMK Pulse, except that I like this one better! Want to jump in for a base + NorDeUK.

Ah, seems somewhat steep for a largely mono-color, numpad-less set. Gmk striker for eg was 100usd.

Custom colors + larger base with a few custom keys.

Moridin, in your vision, are the accents blue... Or more teal?
Post by: depletedvespene on Wed, 14 August 2019, 20:31:30
As the kits stand now, UK ISO is supposed to be part of Nordeuk, but the R3 keys '@ #~ (used exclusively by the UK English national layout) are in the core kit. Those two keys should be moved to the Nordeuk kit, and replaced in the core kit by a single R3 \| key, to offer complete US ISO support (the R4 \| key is used both in the US English layout and the UK English layout, and therefore should remain in the core kit).
HTH!

Came back to this page on my mobile and i noticed that the colors look different... Kinda greenish, whereas it looks blue on my computer screen. Darn these poorly calibrated screens!

I'd like to point out a minor problem in the core and Nordeuk kits regarding ISO support.

Please join our Discord and tell this to all the ISO gals and guys who made me go down the route I took! I dont use ISO personally and never have, so all the different requirements are confusing - everyone wants something slightly different. 😉

There seems to be two identical keys in NorDeUk kit for "` \ ΄" (on third R1 row). Maybe on was supposed to be "` ΄ |" for DK-layout?
That is probably an error and its too late to fix now. 😕

I might be alone in this, but I really prefer χ instead of / on the numpad. Not a big deal at all. The down arrow for Caps Lock however I could never live with :( Text or ⇪ for me. That's kind of a big deal however unfortunately.

By the way, any chance you could add R1 1u Backspace to the 40s/Ortho kit for full Preonic support?
I also enjoy accented Enter keys on my ortho boards, but I realize there are way too many Enters in the kit to make this feasible.

No worries. Fortunately you included the two neutral R1 1u "dot" keys in the base kit, that will be a good substitute.

I dont believe Ive seen a centre-stem stepped Caps Lock... so off-centre. Perhaps there are exceptions.

There were some centered-stem stepped caps lock made by SP. I have not seen any in years though. I even think that I had one at some point. I should put it in something that I sold already.(I guess my question isn't specific to this set.) Are stepped Caps Lock keys in these GMK sets generally centre-stem or off-centre?

I love the P. It is like an artisan cap that has its own dedicated spot in every layout. I also like that it features a Norde-UK kit, that I personally need.
I need both the base and the Norde kits. If I order both and the Norde does not reach MoQ, could I cancel the order for the base? Just wondering.
Vendors do tend to contact you if one of your kits doesn't reach MOQ to confirm whether you'd like to just refund that kit or cancel the order (mykeyboard.eu definitely do).

Noticed there is a ("') key in the 40's kit - Quarks. Why? That key is already n the base kit.

Nobody noticed this before the set was priced by GMK. Removing the key and getting new prices (paid option) would be more expensive by probably around 10 USD per base set than just leaving the key in.

Since you are not adding or removing a key nor are you asking GMK to add molds, I don't think you even have to ask for a new quote. Just ask GMK if you can change out the '" key to a 1u, r3 Ctrl key instead. There shouldn't be a price difference.
I doubt I'll be purchasing if you don't even at least ask GMK if that's possible.

Answered you over Discord PM but making it public less people think I'm ignoring you.
1u, r3 ctrl is used in ortho builds and perhaps some very strange 40's builds. It'll have much more use than a duplicate key will.

If you're going to let GMK match custom colors against Pantones and go into production without approving color samples, that's definitely something I'd want to know before placing an order.

Waiting to hear back on their timelines etc. If it's not anything insane, I'll go for it. I'm worried it's insane though, especially looking back at the past few months and seeing how long they took to get back to me with the simplest questions.

I get that you're getting antsy by now. However, it would be a shame if you let it make you rush and fumble this great project on the final lap of the IC.

OK that's a good point and I completely agree. Thanks for the motivation. I'll weather it out. Question is: will everyone else? :D
(P.S. I'm already working on my next set and it's going to be killer!)

GMK will send color samples before the GB as long as the invoice is paid within 6 months of the samples reception.
Gonna have to back out sadly. Not asking for color samples is a big red flag and the omission of the key I asked for earlier is icing on the cake.

I think most people would rather wait longer for the set they paid for, rather than risking getting something different to what they expected.
Delays are usually understood by the community provided adequate communication and explanation.
On the other hand, sets that have failed to match what they promised often reach infamy.

It's going to be a nope from me dawg, going into production before seeing actual samples is very very very risky. Dang, I really want get this set D:

I missed that "I'll weather it out" was in reference to getting samples. Sorry.
(though I still stand by my statement as a general observation)
