Definitely count me in. I think the bottom row with all caps clashed with the rest, so maybe offering more upper case or maybe even just the bottom row lower case would be a grand idea.
This is a bit of a reach, but is it possible to add solarized alphas (white colored) to the kit?

Should I throw a poll?
I think majority of people already messaged me asking for 'Control', 'Alt', etc. The other keys would be the actual Windows and Menu icons.

Giorgio has been pushing me to run an ALPHA only group buy. I think we can accommodate for solarized alphas, but it would be separate from the kit. We'll definitely do our best to color match it, but the colors might have to be adjust. I'm not sure if we can grab a custom color.

I think that would be great. Not many keys as compared to making the whole set capitalized. Maybe even just the icons for Windows and Menu (to make this stand out as GMK even more so); are the capitalized letters in the kit now pad-printed or double-shot?This is a bit of a reach, but is it possible to add solarized alphas (white colored) to the kit?

This would've been great to add, but maybe not as necessary as we can grab black-on-white alphas from other sets. However, if you choose to run this route, I'd suggest making the alphas lighter than just straight black. I don't own SA Penumbra, but it seems from sets I've seen online that the alpha legends were more gray than black.
All keys are double-shot unless we state so.
As for the Alphas, I was thinking of going dark grey (can't go light grey here). It'll be N9 on a 3K or GR1.
Sorry if this is obvious, but is this for SA or GMK?
I ordered both, but wondering which set the Accent Kit is for.
edit: I see Romevi mentioned GMK but didn't see if sherryton said it anywhere.
I like this idea a lot. As to the spacebars, if I was to purchase, I wouldn't have too much interest.
On a side note though, it'd be cool if Originative kept stock on the spacebar colors up on the site but I'm not sure if those were just left over packs from previous buys or something.

L9 and P3 is incoming.

The one that primarily comes to mind is TU2 since there are so many sets playing off of Cyan (just paid $16 for 2 spacebars on r/mm and saw someone asking for more recently I think). DY is probably in there but this is all subjective with only some basis in observations on r/mm.
Little derailment: I definitely get it's tough to keep stock of things like this (buy the wrong color and it never sells) but a few times I've found myself trying to piece together my own accent kit and Originative is currently one of the few places that offers single caps (I like them windowed escapes and blanks) or spacebars in ways that don't require purchasing an entire keyset. Something that I wouldn't mind seeing more fleshed out or at least not fade away.
Holla!
We have the Purple Spacebars. Just put those back up. The TU2 should be incoming as well. Definitely let us know what you guys need. Not many people really ask us. We just get a lot of inquiry for things we already have like Sky Dolch Accent.
This will be final:
R1: Delete, End, Pg Dn
R2: Pg Up
R3: Pg Dn, Barred F&J
R4: End, 2.25u Shift, 6u Spacebar
R4: 6 Control (1u, 1.25u, and 1.5u), 5 Alt (1u, 1.25u, and 1.5u), 1.5u Alt Gr, 4 Windows (1u and 1.25u), and 1 Menu (1.25)
~$25
The Alpha kit is looking to include approximately 60 total keys: both scooped and barred f/j, 6u, 6.25u, and 7u spacebar.
This set will most likely cost around $55.

So the colors I have came up with for Solarized Alpha is CP as base and 2B as the legend. Please let me know if anyone has a better accurate. I compared the colors side by side.
To clarify: If we don't PM you regarding our Penumbra order, it will ship on 03/17? Or do we have to contact you if we want it shipped 03/17?I just used the site ticket system and got an instant response saying mine will ship at the earliest date.

I'm still working on the final details and touches for the Accent Kits and Solarized Alphas. I'll get back to you guys on all the information. I want to have these sets as low as possible.
I forgot to add that the solarized alphas will also include 0-9 numberpad keys (and everything else needed for it).

Does it work best to make separate orders for ones that will arrive 4/21 versus in stock now? Or if I lump them all, they will all ship at 4/21?
You are awesome sherry. Thanks for putting in all the work.Feels good cswanic.... real good
And thank you to everyone here on geekhack. Instead of polarizing like they did on you know where, everybody here is being supportive of Orig Co and Sherry and helping to make GMK Penumbra a even better set.
Yeah this could have been discussed in a IC, but Sherry and the gang went out and made this set possible all on their own out of pocket and it's available today and ready to ship.
I agree wholeheartedly with Tally, I had been dreaming of this set in thr GMK profile since seeing in SA. The fact that we have a month turnaround and that we get community involvement on the child kits is definitely appreciated!You are awesome sherry.

Sorry for the dumb question but will that blue spacebar match penumbra? it seems to be a different shade.
Hi All,
I have Leopold FC980M and has ordered the GMK Penumbra. Cannot wait seeing the gorgeous keycaps.
My suggestion:
R1: Delete and Page Down.
R4: 1U Windows Key in purple, 1U Alt in yellow print, 1U Ctrl in pink print, 1.25U Fn in purple print.
Hahe~~~~
Please make it happened. Thank you.
Note: There's no where to leave additional notes on the order process. Dropping you a PM for early ship with order#.

Some may not like them becasue they'll compare them to SA, but I yet haven't seen an SA set which translated as well to GMK (save for maybe HyperFuse).
Okay, so final thoughts on this set. Keep in mind I've never owned SA Penumbra and have never seen it in real life.Any pictures?!
The main reason I fell in love with SA Penumbra years ago was the navy blue modifiers mixed with the colored legends. The warm colors of everything--from the Solarized alphas to the yellowed ones--screamed mock-vintage, and I was willing to forego the fact that it was SA. But SA profile also lent to its invitation with the large caps and exaggeratedly sized legends.
So with GMK, I don't think comparing them is fair. This is Penumbra in name, but the results are different. When I first pulled them out of the slip-case I thought it looked great. Then later this afternoon I had the chance to pull them out completely and found myself a little underwhelmed. The modifiers were not as blue as I had hoped, and they appeared more black. But I wound up placing them on my keyboard (titanium gray Jane) anyway, and now I really like the set again. I have them paired with Hydro novelties, so I think this will look really good with Solarized ones and now I'm on board for the add-ons.
Unfortunately, I still think the blue is darker than I was hoping for, but it's still pretty good. At some angles you can see the blue more, and the electric legends make them pop. Yes, I still have qualms with the capitalized bottom row, but that's what this IC is for.
Rather than comparing this blue to the SA version, I realize this is more of an inky dark blue than the sun-dyed blue of the SA iteration. But as moistgunando astutely discerned, the name "Penumbra" couldn't be more fitting here, then--"pen"+"umbra" (i.e., dark ink).
Interestingly, I turned over some of the modifier caps and could see some bleed of a lighter teal. I wonder if the color just got a bit darker the more saturated it became as it filled the keycap molds.
Definitely pleased with the set, and eager to get this IC turned into a GB!
I'm interested to see what happens here, but it feels a little bit like the plan is, "just to redo nearly the entire set", alphas and all.
Penumbra hasn't shipped yet, but we're already working on an accent kit.
The goal is to bring 1800, 75%, an extra 2.25u shift, and some other keys.
R1: Delete, End, Pg Dn
R2: Pg Up
R3: Pg Dn, Barred F&J
R4: End, 2.25u Shift, 6u Spacebar, 6.25u Blue Spacebar, 7u Blue Spacebar, Blank 2.25u and 2.75u Shift
There are 2 options for Modifiers:
1. Lowercase Ctrl & Alt and Icons for Windows & Menu
2. Capitalized Esc, Backspace, Caps Lock, 1.75u Control, and Shifts
There's also the possible option of... 'Why not both?'
We are aiming this pack anywhere from ~$25-30 right now.
The goal is to minimize the costs and provide a universal kit to accommodate for a layout everyone is most comfortable with!
Share your concerns!

Here's a mock up by Zambumon, http://imgur.com/SKtLbF6
The alphas will have a darker grey similar to the one on Penumbra right now. This highly resembles the Honeywell. Numberpad alpha will also be included.

Yeah, there'll be no colored lowercase mods as mentioned before. Many people weren't really fond of the new capitalized and colored bottom row, so I'll mostly stick to the classics in this run.

That's a shame, was looking forward to those the most, and honestly it's probably a deal breaker for me keeping this set.
FWIW, I think the issue is people weren't fond of the capitalized bottom row, not the colors. Without the colors, it's not even Penumbra imo.

Dang you and your faster typing... but DITTO to everything... I'm a bit bummed about the render and would probably pass as-is. I love the colors, just don't like the upper case on current set.

I thought this whole time it was just the capitalized letters people had issue with.
Also, super glad you're going with the gray of the yellowed alphas. I love that color and glad it's going on the Solarized alphas.
(Only real grip I have is I personally think the mods are too dark to make out the blue, but that's just me. :p )

I'm pretty sure that's just how GMK makes their pipe symbol. That's how it is on all my GMK sets. Plus EPBT, also makes their cherry keys with that same broken pipe legend.

I was trying to figure out what was wrong with the cap.
Mine is like that too, but I'm fine with it.
Throwing my 2c here. Sticking to the OG set is the best route in my opinion, but adding compatibility always wins. The 1st mockup is what the complete set should be, and the 2nd mockup is what is missing.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/xw1T3E6.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/tXUN1rw.png)
Colored mods or not, it's true to what it should be imo. I get my set in a couple of days, and I'll make my decision on the mods then.

I wonder if it's a difference between the full-sized and the 1U. The 1U on mine have it solid, but I remember seeing it broken on the standard sized - have to check when I get home.

Well that's interesting. On Hyperfuse, my 1U mod has the split too, but the Carbon that I was using for reference at work doesn't.

You're right, the lowred control, alt, OS, and arrows should suffice my needs.
At this point, are we looking at having the white alpha keys? Is it also safe to assume that the accent kit in the original post will be kit #1 and the additional keys as kit #2?

White Alphas are coming for sure :)
Can somebody with the existing (GMK) Penumbra set please upload a gallery of the keys from a variety of angles under good lighting.

What are your main concerns?
Sherry's own pics show good examples of what they look like irl: https://www.originativeco.com/products/penumbra?variant=31879362064.

Thanks. I simply want to see what they look like in the wild.
The concerns I have about this thread in particular are what this set is supposed to be exactly. Because it seemed to start of as an accent kit for the Penumbra set, and seems to be turning into a full set with it's own kits.
Is there maybe a chance to just run a gb of the original set, so we can choose what alphas and mods we want?
Ah! Last time I checked the oco page they were sold out.

They've been going in and out of stock this past week.
In the poll link in the OP there's an option to suggest any additional keys you all want. ;)
I got the renders from GMK. I just need to pricing and other information, and we'd be able to proceed :)

Do you guys think we should just include the F & J Bars only on the solarized alphas?I'm good with just bars

It'll help lower the cost for the accent kits!
scoops plz
both it is!
both it is!
Yeah!!
both it is!Even better!
I forgot to mention it in the google form, but is there a chance we can get a solarized 1u |\ for row 1?Would also like to see this since I use a lot of split backspace layouts.
I think having solarized alphas would be nice, but it's not like anyone would buy the overly yellow alphas to recoup some of the original price of the base set. :(

Huh?
I like the original alphas and when I posted pics on reddit had a pretty good response to them.I think having solarized alphas would be nice, but it's not like anyone would buy the overly yellow alphas to recoup some of the original price of the base set. :(
Huh?
I'm saying if I buy the base set at $170 and then pay $55 for the white alphas I'd prefer to sell the yellow alphas, but given how most people feel about them I think I'd have a tough time selling.
And submitted! I took the solarized alphas to be the same color as the mods, plus white legends? Was that incorrect?
Let's get this show on the road! :cool:

The remaining thing to do:
1. Remove 2.75u Shift (not sure why it's there)
2. Add F & J Bar for Penumbra Alphas
The Red Arrows and 6u Spacebar didn't make it.

Oh, no! The red arrows didn't make it?! :'(
I've actually been looking at my keyboard with the white arrows and thinking how better it was going to look with them red.
Either way, excited to get the other caps and looking forward to them on my board. :p

I’m very disappointed that the gray mods didn’t make it, it really would have saved this set for me. The yellow, pink, and purple don’t even look similar to the corresponding tones in the Solarized palette — they look like something you’d see in one of those half baked sets everybody forgets. And they definitely clash with the navy modifier color.
I hope one day someone can get CTRL+ALT’s blessing for *yet another* expansion kit (that should have been unnecessary in the first place), because SCREAMING mods are equally unsatisfactory.
I’ll probably buy both regardless. :))
My set has not arrived yet, so I’m just going from photographs and renders.
This is the first photo I found. Obviously lighting will vary, but it agrees with the impression I get from the renders and GMK samples of the colors. The blocks of color are averaged samples from the legends with the Solarized color in the middle; nothing rigorous, but it agrees with my first impression – that the legend colors were too light and pastel‐y in comparison to the Solarized palette.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/APXkEgv.jpg)
I mean, you have to work somewhat within GMK’s limited color options, but gray mods would have turned out better IMHO.
Realistically, the GMK colors that have been used in every set are not good approximations of Solarized colors. I’ve seen plenty of samples in person, if not in the custom color that has already been criticized for being too dissimilar from both Solarized and the SA set. I haven’t seen a single photo that indicates that the colors come out differently in this set. I’ve used Solarized quite a bit in my text editor and terminal, and I’m just not seeing it.Call me simple minded but I have the set and it looks cool. Not sure about all the technical aspects of the set but as it sits in front of me right now it is sexy as hell.
Regardless, I never did like the whole every‐mod‐a‐different‐color thing. Too reminiscent of unicorn vomit.

Yep my criteria for a keyset is pretty simple. Does it look cool? If yes then I consider buying it.Realistically, the GMK colors that have been used in every set are not good approximations of Solarized colors.

The company had let us know that it would come 4/10 to 4/14, but I believe it might be anywhere from 4/17 to 4/21 now.

Please add numpad 0 for solarized alpha :D
Also shouldn't the bottom row with like, normal legends be all white at least? I feel the white legends are a much safer bet than the bright and borderline obnoxious colours all over the bottom row like shown in the GMK render
The group buy will most likely be started 2nd week of June.

Good news. I know its a stretch to answer, but what month would it ship from GMK? I've lost track of their timeline.
So is the final verdict no lower case white text mods?
Would Ctrl+Alt be amenable to an expansion kit for the SA Penumbra group buy? Tentative kit:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/OojOb3L.png)
It’s missing fewer keys, but I know I’m not the only person (not even close) who would like Solarized alphas. If you made the fourth row R3 profile and included R3 shifts (1.25×, 1.75×, two 2.25×, 2.75×) for the second round it would be compatible with both rounds.
This would be amazing. I have penumbra SA on the way and I'm super bummed that there's no way to get solarized alphas.
Number row 1u |\ for the split backspace peeps?
Can we get everyone to agree:
Can we get everyone to agree:
R1 1u \| - Yes
R4 1u Alt Gr - No
R4 1u 0 - Yes
R3 Windowed Stepped Caps Lock - No
R3 Stepped Control - No
Personal suggestion: Barred Numpad 5
(Just an opinion, so please don't take it personally.)
Can we get everyone to agree:
R1 1u \|
R4 1u Alt Gr
R4 1u 0
R3 Windowed Stepped Caps Lock
R3 Stepped Control
We are looking at an additional $7-8
My main concerns were that, as roostrc0gburn pointed out, certain legends may not fit properly. Does Alt Gr fit in 1u, and does "Control" fit on a stepped key? It would likely be "Ctrl", right?
As for the Windowed Stepped Caps, I just realized that the original GMK Penumbra set has a non-stepped windowed Caps Lock, so I guess we might as well add the stepped one as well. Sorry about that.

1. Penumbra Solarized Kit
The Penumbra Solarized Kit will have all shipped out today.
These will be now be available only with the Penumbra as a full kit.
were these only available as a group buy? Any chance of extras showing up on oco?IMO it wasn't advertised very well. This thread wasn't even moved into the GB section back when it was open.
