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
CA: Desk Hero
EU: MyKeyboard.eu
UK: Proto[Typist]
AU: DailyClack
SEA: iLumkb
CN: zFrontier

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


Consistent F-Row


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

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

Is this a new fashion, removing UK ISO from kits? Several times lately

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

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

[kenpachibao]

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

[Nukz]

hmmm...omnitype...hmmm

Very excited for this. Very cool colorway indeed.

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!

[Curious Yellow]

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