What will be the exact color codes for the caps and legends?
7u spacebar?
Do the molds for R5 'Code' and 'Menu' exist? Carbon used 'Super' and 'Meta', which I also prefer.
I'd prefer it be icon + text, but cool project. Always nice to have more options to utilize all the great OG iso sets out there. Also what's the point of the "control" key if the sets icon mods? Am I missing something?Yeah I think I'd rather have that be a stepped key with the down arrow icon.
7u spacebar?
This is usually already included in the og sets.
Ne wkl/tsangan bottom row avail
Asking bc a decent amount of the cheaper/easier to find boards will have the 6u+1u bottom row or the 6.25-based with off-center caps etc.
Hi there fellow Geeks! Posting on behalf of Discord user jani80k#5980 whose idea this set was. He talked to Wodan at Clack in Cologne about releasing a fix kit for OG sets, which was approved, so long as it isn't named HADapter. So without further ado, let me introduce
GMK M_ss_ng K_ysShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/43fyxwY.png)
Goals of this set
- Convert vintage Cherry ISO sets to ANSI
- Provide compatibility for smaller form factors (60/65/75)
- Convert vintage text+icon mod ANSI sets to icon mod ANSI sets
- Act as a mod kit for obscure layout vintage boards so their alphas can be used in modern layout builds
- Maintain a reasonable price point
To be figured out in this IC
- Keys to add
- Keys to remove
- General interest

Changelog
- 2019-06-09: Fixed mixup in the render (PgUp and PgDn are now R2 and R3 as intended), fixed set name (apparently it could be read as something that's not very nice), fixed form link
Ever thought of just running a full GMK OG Cherry set instead of just add-ons? I would be into that!

gmk 9009 and gmk classic retro exist, im not sure if i misunderstood what you asked though
mod colored tilde and pipe?Agreed.
I'd still prefer a minimal $35 addon/fix kit over a full blown $75 mod kit.
I like the new kit. One question though: What is the R3 1.25u Fn used for?
Hi guys,
just a quick update from my side.
We updated the kit for community feedback and price/performance.
We are now executing the next steps towards the GB.
Cheers,
Jani
BU-BU-BU-BUT WAIT....There is a separate GB in the works for an R0 kit. But the point is not to create some kind of "OG mods kit". This is a compatibility kit for vintage doubleshot keycaps. F keys are already available in the vintage sets, so there's no need to include them here. The only reason the mods are included at all is because some people want to "update" the vintage sets with modern icons.
I just notice the absence of the F row or "R0". GMK brought back the old profile for this row as well. Wouldn't it be worth considering to offer this as well, maybe as addon kit?

PERFECT!
Any chance to add non-stepped Capslock?

Huh, it's right there. We went with the 'arrow down icon' capslock.

Oops, sorry, didn't notice it.
Any chance its not just icon, but both/each - icons and text?
Just asking...

No.. Well, the whole point is to convert the OG ANSI mods to icon mods.

OK, thanks.
Does it mean that there are original non-stepped OG Cherry capslocks?
All old sets I have only contain stepped ones, either ANSI or ISO.
Do you have rough idea when this going to go live?In 3 days on August 1st.
GB is running!!! (Unfortunately only pngu can update the title and he is missing in action)yep, €44 :'(
