can we have mods pack with full text?
Loving the icon R3 Control! But why not include it in base kit and get rid of that text completely? And also where's the spacebar kit goodness with them split spaces :p

Quite a few people are asking for a spacebar kit in the Google form, so we're definitely considering adding that!
As for the complete icon mods, I know some people aren't a big fan of them (at least from what I remember when I considered adding them to the 9009 base kit ;D ) so I'm just going to leave them as a separate kit so everyone can chose what they prefer :thumb:

Super nice colors. I'm very interested in this. In the past I run a successful interest check only for grey alphas (2M on 2B), but the vendor changed his mind because it wasn't profitable enough in the alphas form (even though I didn't ask him any profit share). https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=85593.0
I'd use the same legend color of the classic white on black sets, probably it's WS1.
I'd replace the dotted numpad five with a numpad 5 with bars (I can't use keys with nipple, they hurt me). I'd remove the extra enter keys, I'd include just the grey enters. Those enters cost about 2 usd each, so you'll save about $12.
Price right now can be low, very low.
Right now originative is running white on black and is costs only $135, so you'll be able to run lower than that since originative isn't the cheapest place usually :-D

Grey goes well with anything, so you'll be able to combine the alphas with almost anything.

Call it something else. Maybe Granite. But, it is not a Dolch set. Its current name just add to the confusion. There have been several Dolch versions, already.

I'm not going to remove the accent enters, since people do like those a fair bit (me included). I don't think the comparison in price to BOW makes much sense at all. That kit is a lot smaller (cause cause no accents, no double \| and tilde, no 2u shift, ...) and it uses only 2 colours both of which are stock GMK compared to the 4 custom colours and 1 stock colour MD will use which def adds up to the price. We're looking at a $145 price point right now :)
Sincerely I don't see the need for custom colours N9 and 2B would be perfect. And easier to replicate in future group buys.

I'm convinced that janglad has some kind of reality enhancement augment reverse engineered from a spaceship which crashed in his back yard. He uses it to make these ridiculous renders.
This is the main reason why I wasn’t a huge fan of dolch. I’m so in for this!
Wow, this fixes my issue with Dolch. I might sell my kekkon Dolch because of this!
It just looks like a washed out version of Dolch.

Yes, that kinda is the whole point :) A more muted and modern version of Dolch :D
Would the removal of ISO enter keys help reduce the cost of the base kit further? Could they be separated into an international kit instead?
Washed out is "modern"? TIL I guess..
Very interested! Something about the blue is a bit too jarring for me, I feel like it’s not “muted” enough. The red, however, is on point.

It's just a name, there's no need to be so literal and definitely no point being upset over it. It's fine.

I think that’s what’s so great about it. It’s a subtle shift in warmth and vibrancy but it makes a huge difference in how it’s perceived. At least that’s my opinion.

but if people like it im not gonna say no
Posted this on Reddit, but figured I post here also. Perhaps this changes the flavor of the set to much. I would love to have this keyset with the Tiffany blue Enter color as the legends for the Mods/Alpha's. I think it give it just a bit of color and make it seriously pop off the page. I am not sure if that changes the spirit of the IC to much thought. The white just feels kinda off to me. Perhaps its even to basic for a new updated modern version of Dolch.
If you don't add an european proxy, you can remove the ISO keys. Who wants to to pay a 30% import tax :)) :)) :)) :))
And don't start talking abut vat and the fact that it would be the same. We "know" it isn't.

Janglad makes good keysets, and we should all buy them to support his crippling keyset design addiction
the grey matches more keyboards than the brown from the original
Its great to see the classic colors approach to GMK come back by members in the community. Feels like old times. Great job and please pack the base kit (I've never quite understood the idea of trimming kits to bare compatibility just because "not everyone needs that key", IMO kits should be complete because its near impossible to ever run a fix kit for the extras after the buy is over).

I don't agree with the red and blue offered here, they undermind the overall feel of the keyset. I'd say make the blue deeper, the red can say goodbyeI beg to differ. I think those accents do add a touch of warm and modern feeling which makes the set look absolutely stunning. I would NOT want to see those accents get removed. Its called "Modern" for a reason.

Also would it be possible to incorporate the keysize to the base set for an easier time when trying to navigate through our layout? 😁

I will make one yes :) Any specific key you're looking for?
Well it was really great to see blue accents on the old dolch. While it's true that this is the Modern version of Dolch that we're ICing for, what I'm trying to say is the warmer and more "pastel" look of the accent keys (I'm sorry if the word use is wrong here) just don't look so "right" on a darker color set like this. Please don't get me wrong, I mean no hatred or trying to make myself those people who always try to over-appreciate vintage stuffsI don't agree with the red and blue offered here, they undermind the overall feel of the keyset.

Exactly, and you can always not use the accents if you want :)
Oh wow, this is what I always wanted Dolch to look like. I love it. Perfect.
Defo interested in a spacebar kit as well.

I really want this myself, R0 as well but I don't think a kit would hit MOQ. Putting them in the base kit would make it too expensive (and from what I remember from the GMK Carbon R2 IC not all people are happy to use R0-5) and doing a separate kit would probably cost a pretty penny too :|

Stepped CTRL and VIM keys please?
Pls Alt GR.... but won’t buy anyway so don’t listen to me :P

I’m assuming small spacebars are 2.75 and 2.25? If so, looks good to me!
The icon R3-Control still won't be added to base kit? I think it should be and just delete the text one because that text isn't following the design guideline (of 9009 style).agreed with this one!
What size is that smaller spacebar? It looks larger than 2U, but wanted to make sure.
Pls add “super” or some sort of OS key as 1.5u for us Mac users with a WK layout. It’s the only thing holding me back from purchasing this

I believe it is 2.25u and 2.75u. Personally I think it still need 2u tho, several split spacebar use it like TGR Alice.

Wait, isn't the Alice (and most split spacebar layouts larger than 40-50%) 2.75, 2.25 and 1.25? I thought it was but maybe I'm mistaken and it's 2u.

Agreed! Both the base and icon kits are lacking 1.5u Command keys (or substitutes like super or code).
Anyone have the same idea with me that wishing some short spacebar (2u or 2.25u) with the color of green and red in the spacebar kit?Nope sorry, after seeing the Debakel that is/was GMK Metaverse spacebar Kit for >50€ when your average user could need 1(in this case 2) spacebar(s) from the kit.

I'm debating adding a convex 2u key into the spacebar kit for TGR Alice users, however that does seem like a really small amount of people :| Please reply to this or something if you would buy the spacebar kit for a 2u/would use it, just want to see how many people would benefit of it.
Also yes indeed the GB is going live on the 25th! :) We have everything needed to launch and due to some personal travels of one of the vendors if we were to delay it it would need to be in late October early November which is too late IMO :)

Same.
This is just my opinion of course but the more I look at this set the more I’m put off by the mix of icon only and text modifiers in the base kit.
I’d have preferred text and text mods and a more complete set of icon only mods. I know that would increase cost but to me right now it just feels a little confused about what the set wants to be in terms of text vs icon.
The spacebar kit could offer much better compatibility for split spacebar boards by simply adding a 1.25u blank. I support the 2u spacebar to be added as well.I’m a big fan of adding that r1 1u backspace!
Also, a R1 1u backspace would be nice to have.
Text bottom row + icon "alpha mods" is the best
9009 has it
muted has it
this set has it
other sets have had it
and all of these are the best sets

i'm sure you guys in NA will have a different vendor. zF is just for Asia/EU/AU most of the time. Free shipping is good but the price will also be higher since they have to pay shipping going to CN in the first place heh

I'm jumping in for sure. Just curious though, since on runs that don't hit MOQ it's either the vendor buys enough till it reaches MOQ or it gets cancelled right?
Where should Canada order?
I'm at DixieMech, and it looks like it's sold out. Is that possible?
will the Rama artisan also be available on the EU proxy?
