Yesssss. Do not need the blanks or Escs but would like the Cherry keys.

r5 mod colored 1u keys would be nice, the legend could be a winkey, a cherry key or a code key imo

Can I recommend the inclusion of winkeys? Black on yellow. (Not Code, not Super, but Winkeys)

(https://i.imgur.com/DedHCmT.png)

I actually had mocked this up by myself previously thinking of doing a rerun of such a kit sometime.

This is great!

A diamond (like how Lightning mocked up) on what would have been the R1 1u blanks would be cool. Either way, I'm in.
Title: Re: GMK RGBK Modifiers Pack with Cherry Led Caps
Post by: LightningXI on Fri, 22 November 2019, 07:32:40
OH, also don't forget that there are R5 molds for 1.25u mods so you should include those as well for Ctrl, Winkey, Fn (this would be the Menu key in 6.25u bottom row and could be done in black on orange), and Alt.
Title: Re: GMK RGBK Modifiers Pack with Cherry Led Caps
Post by: Zurg Eon on Fri, 22 November 2019, 08:05:51
I'm in. R5 1.25u mods would have been nice.

Title: Re: GMK RGBK Modifiers Pack with Cherry Led Caps
Post by: wholypantalones on Fri, 22 November 2019, 09:41:51
I'm in. I don't necessarily need or want the winkeys (especially diamonds), blanks, cherry keys or escapes but R5 keys should definitely be added.
Title: Re: GMK RGBK Modifiers Pack with Cherry Led Caps

Definitely getting one of these kits, been wanting a blue cherry logo for quite some time.

Post by: tex_live_utility on Fri, 22 November 2019, 11:15:39
I don't mind being forced to use Alt Gr. If you wanted to remove the extra 2 plain Alts to reduce the price I'd be happy with that change.

I'd rather pay extra for the additional alts than be forced to use alt gr. Oco sets all come that way and it's kinda irritating tbh.

Yeah, I agree. IMO just have the most compatibility possible as these modifier kits are hard to come by, and they rarely get run nowadays with the infinite number of keyset group-buys nowadays (full base kits and all that jazz).

Not feeling the new name, why not just keep it as RGBK (which is so kuch more recognizable)?

Everything seems to be inline besides cherry leds.
Vote up if you want it to stay in the kit or vice versa

Need to represent the dodo-land in this hobby xd
Don't worry, I will revert back if more people don't prefer it.

A HHKB control in red would be a nice addition I think

Thank you for your input, should there be more people who are an advocate of this, I will consider making that addition.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101839.0), so I'm covered.

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.
