Title: [IC] GMK Media Keys (WoB & Minimal)
Post by: lukelex on Mon, 22 March 2021, 17:44:36

Media keys kit extension for White on Black and Minimal.



IC FORM (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScQNlHMojgDt9AjwByp82mjl1aMZdMRqHLJjNvInHsZFTvbTw/viewform)

Inspiration:



A bean sídhe was a fairy spirit, that would wail whenever a family member was about to die. (In English, we refer to them as banshees.) The bean sidhe didn’t cause death but announced the death or warned loved ones that death was near, so they could prepare. Some believed she escorted their loved ones safely to the afterlife...so I of course decided to make this set!


I always remap Print, NumLock & Pause to Previous, Play & Next and am left with unrelated legends due to lack of support for media keys in current keysets. Same goes for the right column on my 65%.

Count me in!! I keep forgetting where I mapped volume up and down on my 65 column!

Please consider deskhero, ashkeebs, Apex keyboards, or minokeys for a Canadian vendor.

Thanks!

I wonder, do these legends exist already with GMK? Perhaps it would be cheaper to go ePBT or geekark for dyesub?

Yes, 100% yes. I'm in for several sets of WoB. I always map the typical PgUp and PgDn R2 and R3 on a 65% as Vol Up and Vol Dn. Any chance you'd consider adding text versions of each of them too to match the typical Drop WoB set along with keeping the icon versions to go with WoB Hiragana and Katakana sets?

This. I am definitely in, but I would vastly prefer a play/pause button rather than just play.

neat idea. Am I right that the molds for these don't exist?

Nice. Are they within specs tho?

100% in for a few kits. Definitely would prefer a play/pause option and slightly less squashed skip legends

I'm in. Really happy you chose WS1 (GMK Minimal).

Consider making more of these, I'll buy em all.

This is useful, this is nice. I like this. Are molds needed for these? Also please consider fixing the play key to be play+pause.

The molds for play/pause, mute, vol up, and vol down keys were used in GMK ThinkCaps:

Some of them exist some don't. Regardless, this will happen at a reasonable price.

Renders are approximated. I'll get them to spec before the GB.

Already have a handful planned (to fill in my own keysets, tbh :p). I wanna keep this one nice and easy.

The fact that these aren't included in most normal sets is frustrating. I'd definitely be in for a set of both!

Post by: frozenthai on Wed, 24 March 2021, 21:49:33
Nice! Trying to get a standard dark and light keycap set to mix with modifiers etc from other kits. Minimal is the light one and this will help out.

Maybe not all but would have been even better if it had a few more "common" symbols like calculator, light +/- , screen brightness +/- , mic mute, etc.
F row with symbols could be nice when I think about it as well in the future ;D

If you're looking to save on costs, the volume icons already exist, at least the ones that GMK ThinkCaps used. They are a bit different, but I prefer them to the ones you used anyway.

[redacted] minimal do beige instead.

WoB/Beige is the only duo that should exist
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Media Keys (WoB & Minimal)
Post by: ab042896 on Fri, 02 April 2021, 19:08:46
I think piggybacking on the molds created for GMK Thinkcaps is the move.

Please also consider adding a U9 kit for classic beige colorways

possible to choose ws1 for white (instead of custom minimal)?

2nd edit: any chance this will actually run?

Picks it up the topic because... I’m interested in media keycaps for both the GMK style and any MX compatible ones. Even the stickers will suit me, for starters, while I’m waiting for the keycaps.

I love these! Would love a microphone key and a screenshot key as well. I will likely pick up both sets if available at a Canadian vendor.
