[IC] GMK Taiga | GB Starts on the 22nd of July

[Oggi]

Bumped for update, added 40s in base, some new renders, link to the discord server

[frostykoala]

nice 40s support

[Oggi]

I will echo the hope for language agnostic icon only mods.  3 key (R2 1.75u Backspace, R3 1.25u Tab and R3 1.5 Enter) covers the vast majority of 40s layouts physically.  And maybe an outside shot at Cyrillic F row? ф1, ф2, etc just has that look to it. (If those molds are public, I guess) Спасибо!

40's support has been added!, also the ф-row is a very interesting idea, I'll definitely try something like that, even if the molds don't exist, might as well make them haha

[andreiborisov]

I might inquire about making custom russian text+icon molds, but we'll have to see about that...

Now, THAT would change everything, Russian text + icon mods? That would launch this set into the stratosphere of awesomeness for me

40s in base?? Oh boy this is like a insta-cop for me now

I'll have to look into this, but if it's possible I'll definitely consider it

yo icon only mods would be fire, but this^ would be VERY interesting!

[zoo]

love the colors, but english and second B in base please?

[smshark]

Thank you for adding 40s to base! I think the russian text + icon mods OR icon mods would sell me on the set completely because visually it feels a bit out of place when there are english text mods and alphas in another language (this is something I feel about lots of sets). if there were side-printed latin alphas, that would change my opinion completely but I don't think that's probably feasible here. also, I agree with the comment of 2nd B in base (and alt alpha kit), supposedly it's a bit cheaper that way to keep the spacebar kit all single-shot keys.

[bobtheguitar]

Beautiful!

[sGhost]

God that green is so hot.

[hottrout]

Love the colours as long as they can be recreated properly.  Also love the extension kit which is a nice touch.  Please consider adding UK ISO to the base kit or if not then a separate kit.  Love the colours, did I say that already?

[Jippadox]

Those greens are absolutely fire! Any chance for a alt base kit with the latin alphas? Feel like getting to choose language would be a nice option and would make it a lot more appealing for me.

[mr_foggy]

ah yes, green perestroika.
it looks FANTASTIC in the renders.
if pricing is favorable you're getting my purchase.

[Havattack]

i wanted to not like it, becasue Velo was so cool, but despite myself, it's actually a pretty nice set. Especially including the cyrilic in the base, though i would prefer sub legends. (Still liked Velo better..)

[atlanticise]

hey oggi i was looking at this again because green is so nice to look at but - why is there an extra tab in the latin kit? am i missing something?

This is so you can cover 2 boards, one being tsangan, you basically have a second set of mods in the base besides the tab

[Alessio]

kdd making a good set. impossible 0.o

[NoPunIn10Did]

I quite like this. Full Russian layout can look pretty slick.

[noorejji]

Very nice color, but it's tough for me to justify the cost as a latin user with the pain of Nautilus Nightmares still lingering. I dunno if there's something inherently tricky with green, I'm still flabbergasted how Zambumon could make a keyset that looks like a Tao-Bao knock-off. I'd definitely give it a go with a latin base kit, but as it stands it depends how adventurous/rich I'm feeling when the time comes. Good luck to you all the same.

[Ella]

This is so good I can even overlook the fact that I usually don't like monolegends!

Big BFG vibes, IYKYK.

you don't like mono latin legends?

[andreiborisov]

I'm strongly against 40s support in the base. There is a reason no one does it: it will increase the price of the base kit significantly, and since 40s community is small (just look sales numbers for other sets), you risk loosing more sales then you gain.

This is especially a problem because getting Latin alphas already requires purchasing a separate kit. A lot of people need Latin legends and if the base kit is costly you may alienate people, who would otherwise purchase the set.

40s in base consists of 3 keys. That's hardly going to increase the price. I'm strongly for 40s in base. I was not considering purchasing this set prior to their inclusion. Plus, there's plenty of sets that have been including those 3 keys in base lately. "No one does it" is hardly accurate. I'm guessing that you didn't even notice that those 3 40s keys are already in the base kit render.

Sublegends are always superior to mono, regardless of the language. 

[PuddingPug]

I love the monolegends here. Really makes it stand out.

Thanks for pointing that out, you may be quite right, it's just I'm a little anxious after GMK Iconographic failure and don't want to see another incredible set not hitting the MOQ.

[Zeelobby]

I mean iconographic was cool, but also like, an extremely polarizing colorway in comparison. I think this will be fine.

@oggi wondering if there’s a tentative timeline for running this set. not sure I have room for 2 green sets and gmk zooted is starting in a few weeks. (ngl, this is my preference.) the cyrillics kick it over the top!

Update 04/07, Added some Onyx renders, and I'll be doing a cable with Keebstuff

[i luv chuletas]

This would be awesome if it turned into the crylic 'gmk masterpiece' of sorts with the crylic text + icon mods.

Very unique indeed.

Still excited for this either way!

[hottrout]

Please consider adding UK ISO to the base kit.  Love the colourway of this.

Keep some funds reserved for June;)

[Vigrith]

This is all I see when I read Taiga. The set's green tones are great though, looks very cool, best of luck and I'll definitely be buying!

I agree with you on this.
Cyrillic alphas + English mods doesn't seem right. Icon mods would perfect this set.

thank you. btw, any chance to add R1 M3 key to extension? would love to use on top row above nav cluster for 70/75/tkl. selfish request, i know, and i imagine this is coming pretty late in the game. love the R3 function key!

Cyrillic Icon + Text mods would be even better.

Yeah, agree. I think I would pull the trigger on this given latin base.

[Krolyk]

I need this.
