Blurple Update #1!

Vendor Announcement and and Kitting Updates!

Greetings fellow clackers!

GMK Blurple has been picked up (woo)! The vendors for Blurple will be as follows:

US: Omnitype (https://omnitype.com/)
CA: Desk Hero (https://www.deskhero.ca/)
EU: MyKeyboard.eu (https://mykeyboard.eu/)
UK: Proto[Typist] (https://prototypist.net/)
AU: DailyClack (https://dailyclack.com/)
SEA: iLumkb (https://ilumkb.com/)
CN: zFrontier (https://en.zfrontier.com/)

Additionally, we've made some changes to the kitting (as well as a BRAND NEW KIT). With this new stuff, we also wanted to reach out to you sophistimacated typists and get your opinions on the changes. For starters, the first thing we wanted to ask you folks about was your opinion on the f-row. We've gone back and forth and decided to put it forth to the community as to whether the f-row should stay in its current alternating color form (F1-F4 and F9-F12 being alpha color, and F5-F8 being the mod color), or if you would prefer it to be all the mod color. Below are some renders for comparison:

Alternating F-Row
(https://i.imgur.com/xWqUUcQ.png)

Consistent F-Row
(https://i.imgur.com/DnVOJsC.png)

Our next question has to do with our NEW KIT. Based on feedback from the first form, we're offering an alternate alphas kit to give you even more of that sweet, sweet blurple. The question for you folks then, is do you also want to see the alternate kit include the numpad as well? Image below for visualization:

As always, I'd love to see you your input/comments in the thread, but would really love if you would spend a few quick moments to fill out the new survey below:

NEW IC FORM (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeKXZY5AaHd0PRxrZXvMCmo_Wr9dGDXhAMlQeuYebAeg--B9Q/viewform)

Look forward to more updates in the coming weeks!
Crayolo out!

I like the tones, but feel like the main keys can be re-contrasted.

I love the purple tone on the extension keys and the white esc key. Just hoping the shade turns out the way they look.

I think your spacebar kit is missing a 1u space for proper 3-1-3 support.
Base kit also seems a bit odd too.

Thanks for the input. The other kits are all currently being reworked, and we'll post the updates to those in good time as well as updated renders for all the kits :thumb:

just filled form. fwiw, i would consider an alternate kit for just the mods so i could match the alphas. that subdued Pantone 2376U is awesome imo

Post by: kenpachibao on Tue, 16 March 2021, 16:12:18

all mod colored f row please! Especially since you're doing a mod colored alphas kit so we can have fully ral 290 set or the ral 290 + white mods

There is no 1.50 pipe on the alternative kit. All mods and alphas would look the same - 1 key if you needed that to cover you board.
Edit: Thank you for adding tha Pipe!

Post by: Curious Yellow on Sun, 25 April 2021, 16:12:29

Am I right in thinking with alphas and base you could cover a 6.25 and 7U board with stepped caps?
