Final Update

New RAL 230 20 20 Prussian Blue sample

- I'm happy to announce that GMK Prussian Alert will use the same new RAL 230 20 20 color sample that will be used in GMK Prussian Blue.
You can check the samples on NoPun site, he did an amazing job capturing all the different color shifts in various lighting conditions: https://nopunin10did.com/gmk-prussian-blue/#gmk-color-samples

- People asked me to do a few Shadow White & Mortar Grey sample photos in indirect natural daylight (indoors), here they are:







- All renders are updated to showcase the darker Prussian Blue sample and the new kitting changes. Of course, remember these are just renders, and it's better to refer to the sample photos (Which can be tricky too sometimes since colors naturally shift in different lighting conditions, but it’s better than referring to renders).

GB date:

TBD. More info SoonTM.

Kitting Changes:

Base Kit: Added R1 1U Pause in Prussian Blue and R5 1U Fn for 1800 layout support.

Extension Kit: Added R5 1U 00, R4 2.00U Shift, R5 1.50U Function and a 2nd 2.00C and 1.00C Spacebar.

Alpha Kit: Added R1 1U Esc in Prussian Blue for better flexibility when building two boards with Base/Alpha.

Alertless: No Changes.

Other:

- Added Numpad sub-legends.
- Scroll and Num changed back to Scroll Lock and Num Lock.
- PgUp and PgDn changed to Page Up and Page Down.
- Alt Gr changed in Alt Graph for the 1.50U-sized key.
- Fn changed in Meta for the 1.25U-sized key.

-

Lastly, I want to thank my Italian friends, NoPun, Qarmaa with his fantastic Cyrillic sublegends, all the Vendors, and everyone who helped and supported me during these months.

Intro & Specs
MoreHello good lads, this is my first keycap IC.
This set was inspired by a keyboard friend of mine whose favorite shade of blue is Prussian Blue. He was looking forward to GMK Prussian Blue GB, but it got indefinitely postponed. To troll him, I started designing something with the same blue and a simple idea came to my mind – what about an *insert color here* Alert set? At the same time, I wanted to do something a little different and I didn’t like how it looked with the often-used beige as a base, so instead I ultimately chose to use white and grey.

GMK CYL Prussian Alert uses three RAL Design colors:
RAL 230 20 20 – Prussian Blue
RAL 000 65 00 – Mortar Grey
RAL 000 85 00 – Shadow White

Profile:
Cherry Profile Doubleshot ABS (UV Printed Sublegends for Alpha Kit)

If you are interested in being a vendor, want to collaborate or have further suggestions, feel free to contact me on Discord (g_tour).
I’m more than happy to have a chat with anyone.


Kitting

Base Kit - Price TBD


Extension Kit - Price TBD


Alpha Kit - Price TBD

Colors are inverted for a more muted look.
You can build two keyboards (Two ANSI or One ANSI/One ISO) when bought with the Base Kit.
The Cyrillic Sublegends will be the same as GMK WoB Red Cyrillic - Thanks Qarmaa for your kindness!

Non-Alert Kit - Price TBD



Base Kit Explained
MoreWhy is there a forced Alert Bar in the Base Kit?
With the set not being beige, I removed the R1 Mono Bar completely and went straight with the Alert one in the Base Kit (See KKB Violet Alert as an example, which has both in the Base Kit but lacks Numpad and Alice support).
This saves cost and should allow the Numpad, Alice, and R5 support to be in the Base Kit while hopefully maintaining a competitive price. Also, most of the people buying an Alert set want the Alert Bar and not having to buy a separate Alert Kit means less cost to them.

Why no 40’s support in the Base Kit?
With the set being Alert, it doesn’t cater to 40% users so I decided not to include 40’s support in the Base Kit. If you want to put this set on a 40% keyboard there is the option to buy the Extension Kit, where I included the basic 4-Key 40’s support.

I want to give a huge thanks to Foggytypes for helping me with the kitting, you are awesome.

forced alert :cool: I like the look of the inverted cyrillic kit but never a fan of UV printed legends personally--would prefer this with kkb if you're set on having different colored subs

Thevenny:
ah gitur gitur! Nice project!

nu_types:
Why is there a Cyrillic alphas kit? Prussia did not use the Cyrillic alphabet. Its fine if you just really want Cyrillic. Also, by omitting the number row the Cyrillic alpha kit is incomplete.
