GMK SNES
« on: Thu, 12 October 2017, 18:56:51 »
Thanks to a collaboration with intelli, I will be taking over the project.

Andy (livingspeedbump) will be helping with the set and keys. In my opinion, he did a fantastic job with the Honeywell.

The kit is at 200+ strong right now. We're looking to drop about 10-20% of the keys, and we can get a group buy price of around $165. Due to the custom colors, pad printing, and the samples that we need to order for the original products.

Please ignore the colors on the right chart, but this is how we want the set. https://imgur.com/46JrYAM

Andy and I will be taking in your opinions right now before we go ahead and figure out the last pricing. A user suggested Start and Select. I really like this idea, and I would like to replace the Windows and Menu key. Does anyone have any suggestions on the colors for the Menu keys? Imo, it doesn't make sense because the original Start and Select did not have any coloring, so let me know what you guys think. Please discuss everything here!

Why that 1.5u backspace?



It should be this:



The block style is awful. Please change this.

I also think the RGBY caps should be have white legends.

Would also like to see "Control", not "Ctrl".

That backspace! For sure we need that backspace. I'll consider the white legends, but it's most likely not going to happen. I like the way it is!

All these keys will be kept. We already eliminated the keys. You can refer to the original group buy maybe to see the eliminated keys.

Good. Will it be replacing the block style, or in addition?

I also think it's noting that if I wanted a light purple accent row, but I used split backspace, I wouldn't be able to. A light purple base |\ would fix that, but I can understand not wanting to add anymore keys.

here are a few thoughts i had on the original render, just my opinion

  • replace windows logo keys with START and SELECT keys in dolch (N9) base and black (CR) legends. so that would be 1.25u and 1.5u , dunno about 1u
  • would also like to see |\ in light purple if the budget permits (split backspace support with light purple top row) looks like ~` is already covered
  • there are 4 different esc keys.. not sure we need them all? at least can get rid of the white one
  • imo, the jury is still out on center-stem spacebars

the prices will be even heavier haha, and it'll be really hard to hit the accent kit. I think this accent kit is needed in a SNES set.

While Start & Select has darker color in the controller but I don't think it's a good idea to make them dark in this set because it kinda break the overall color balance. My vote is stay like other modifiers and let it be a quiet novelties which will surprise ones with keen eye.

I know it is gonna replace the win and menu key but since this is considered novelties, can 1.5u have some love too? We need 1.5u neutral key as a default. 1.5u Super in 9009 R2 is a good example.

Also, the HHKB arrow with pad print, I'm worried about its longevity. How about making them fron printed?

Some ideas:

- W, A, S, Z (dpad look), & D (traditional wasd accent) in dark grey
- triangles instead of arrows for the arrow keys in mod color, or dark grey
- I second the SELECT/START keys, in dark grey
- Caps Lock & Enter in purple, looks like POWER & RESET
- Long shot, but I'll throw it out there - "EJECT" on space bar!
- SNES-related artisan raffle
- SNES-Styled GMK Tray Sleeve, looks like US/NTSC Console box packaging - Sherry, PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN! I can help with graphics if need be for this one!

This last one would REALLY make the set special!

Surprised no Color arrow keys or even just the legend on them.
Personally not big into the colors in the mods.

also since we are mentioning Start/Select it be nice to have a Restart and Power also on maybe the delete and enter

any chance for the superfx pack darker mods as a separate addon kit?  i really like those. 

i also kinda don't like how the menu key has black text amongst all of the brightly colored other mods.  not sure what color it should be, but i'd prefer to have it be some color.

and consider me one vote for windows xp logo over windows 8 logo, but not really a big deal either way i guess.

Unpopular opinion:
Generally not a fan of pad printing. Increase in cost to kit for solely 4 keys has me slightly puzzled. Are pad printed keys and double extra Pg Dn/End keys really a better value than a double shot multicolor cluster representing the original GB vision and theme? I can understand people wanting an extra ~ for a fullsize setup, but at the same time feel like anybody buying for a 60% will have/get an artisan for ~/Esc inverted. Those keys dont personally sell me on the set.
Black WASD legends feel off to me as well since theres no Super FX Kit (dark mods) kit. White wouldnt really feel much better either IMO...Unless Insert/Home/Pg Up, numpad mods were given the the numstrip color treatment. Would add to any layout that is TK/scarf but thats a large deviation (and adding keys, Unless swapped print/scroll/paused....  :-X )

Some ideas:

- W, A, S, Z (dpad look), & D (traditional wasd accent) in dark grey
- triangles instead of arrows for the arrow keys in mod color, or dark grey
- I second the SELECT/START keys, in dark grey
- Caps Lock & Enter in purple, looks like POWER & RESET

That looks fantastic. Two opinions:

-I second the START/SELECT winkeys!
-I personally think the shift and bottom row winkeys in RGBY legends too busy. I would prefer they remain black, or go with the lighter purple color to match the top row lavender alt color.

+1 on the purple enter.  i wouldn't use the capslock but i have no problem adding it to the set.

i agree on nixing the pad printing, too.  more keys i'd never use and it ups the cost.

I also agree, RGBY is too busy on shift and bottom row winkeys.

I also agree, the contrast makes my eyes bleed. But I like the rest of the set enough I'd buy it anyway, its the only thing I really feel like is an actual issue.

Please  "Control" instead of "CTRL",  and Start & Select for Win keys (or anything besides win8/10 logo).

I like control better than ctrl as well. Other ideas for win keys could be like D-Pads, I also think purple Power and Reset win keys could be cool, but I like colorful sets :P.


I also think the RGBY caps should be have white legends.

Would also like to see "Control", not "Ctrl".

+1. It also fits better with the SNES design in general:



SNES is always light text on darker surfaces and dark text on light ones.

Oh and I for one would love dark purple f5-8 alts. But totally get why they would be skipped :D.

Have you considered doing a bigger extension kit with full white on purple mods? I'd buy 2 :P. Especially the light purple, but I'd be happy with either :P.

i really feel that the box with the x in it is best.
wish there was a way to have both because it is a must for me.
meanwhile i don't want to step on anyone's shoes.
but i am curious how other people feel about that backspace.

How about using front print to utilize the 'game' theme. Arrow front print on WASD, ABXY color on hhkb arrow so no risk of rubbed pad print.

Edit: I like the idea of purple capslock and enter with Power and Reset text too.

Pad printing ABXY seems unnecessary. I agree with other posts that they should be doubleshot in the corresponding color for a more elegant look. If you really want pad-print, then doubleshot legends in RBGY and print the ABXY in light purple because that's how the controller actually looks. Either way, dark grey WASZ (or WASD) is a must to mimic the d-pad.

RGBY modifiers make the set really busy when the SNES is a simple looking machine. Seems counter-intuitive. Having grey/black modifiers seems uninspired in general. I'd rather see light-legends like the SNES actually has on its dark grey pieces.

I liked the Super FX (Particularily the dark mods) pack from the first buy, but whatever this comes to, I'm in!

Also, I don't see anything that resembles the D-Pad (Except the arrow cluster?). Won't be there on a 60% if someone chooses to put the set on one (Though I'd use a TKL for this set!)

Use the arrow which appears on Dolch Reborn, it kind of resembles the D-pad especially if you place it the wrong way!

I'm strongly in favor of dropping the muli-color WASD and pad-printed HHKB arrow keys for the d-pad colored WASZ and multi-color HHKB arrow keys from the original drop (with light legends, dark is eh).  I doubt that many people interested in this set actually care that much about a special WASD set as opposed to looking more cohesive/true to the theme.   

I also agree with the idea of using the Dolch Reborn arrows.

I prefer the "X-Y-A-B" full cap color switch from the original GB.

Also the darker mods from the old kit.

I really like the idea, but I find the kit as it currently is way too busy. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade and this may be an unpopular opinion but I think even the purple legends on alphas are a bit too much; they don't really even fit the (way less cool) NTSC version of the theme super well imo, and the JP/PAL version of the SNES is where it's at anyway.

Anyway here are some of my maybe radical ideas..

To be frank, if you take away that much of the design then it might as well just be a tiny group buy for the RGBY keys and purple F-keys/ESC since BOW alphas with WOG mods isn't exactly unique and you can get WOB/WOG WASD accents elsewhere.

I agree, the WASZ and the [;'/ are one of the big reasons I like this set so much. I think this is something that should be kept above all else.

I like it because it’s purple. Your design is basically Honeywell with an extension kit.

That said the light text on the mods does look nice to me. I’d be fine with that. But purple on the alphas is way better.

+1 vote for the triangular arrow key legends
+1 vote for select/start, love that idea
+1 vote for purple legends on alphas
+1 vote for backspace being the X icon thing

And I know nothing about making caps but how realistic is the possibility of using the SNES font for legends? I don't even know if it looks good but just a thought.

Thanks for doing this set and taking our input. you'll have my order regardless of final decisions :D

concur. this should be a grey/grey set, not white/grey or any form of beige.





i dont think standard GMK colors can do this. 2B could match the dark grey, but would need samples to directly compare. i am interested to see what colors lsb/sherry pick for this, because i dont think honeywell colors really match either..

Most likely going to get the set regardless of what you do but i'm fairly apposed to the WASZ arrows. I believe they should be dark gray and actually WASD for more usability. Although it doesn't make the standard D-pad cross i think it conveys the message better through its color and utility

So the greys and purple are based off of the SNES colors. Those colors are the ones that are inaccurate in the following picture:

Is that render current? On change I think would be nice would be making the 1u select yellow as well. The 1us would primarily be used with Tsangan style mods, and that means you would use start on left and select on right, and it would be weird for them to not match. For the standard ansi layout changing the colors makes sense though. If anything there is no need for 2 1u yellow start buttons.

I might also suggest a light purple home key for use on 65/75% to make the top strip useful in more layouts :D.

Either way, excited for moar purple.

You removed the controller style keys for a boring regular style f-row...

I assume you are talking about the wasd cluster? I for one would never use it cause I don’t use wasd arrows. I don’t mind it being added to the kit, but I imagine for many people it does nothing for them.

I meant the hhkb style arrows and matching dpad wasz from the og snes set.



Going wasd looks cheap to me and feels like a bad compromise at best imo.

Also while the original render may have been incorrect, white is definitely too bright for an snes set, snes should definitely be gray on gray.

Tbh I think it would be best to either stick to Intellis design, or (maybe even bette)  start fresh with a new design based on the jp/pal snes like many suggested.

I don’t think anyone would mind a fresh take on the real deal reminecant of intellis set rather then a rough copy.

Just my two cents.

From RGBY WASD to Arrow, that even worse imo.

I'd prefer Dark Grey WASZ and RGBY HHKB Arrow Cluster like the original design.

Also disappointed to see arrow keys instead of WASZ.

Edit with reasoning:

Arrows are always on the "edge"/outside of boards, whereas WASZ is a central thing. On the controllers, we of course know that they weren't on the side. I think it would ruin the look to have some bright keys on the edge of a board (whether you use 65, 75 or 80, it's still not great placement).

Well in general your right.

Except , in this case a second gray f-row was added, while wasz and other controller style buttons were removed.

So basically adding 17 Buttons (that make the set boring default) and removing 8 that made the set unique.

Doesn’t seem like this was done to cut cost honestly

Because they're not contrasted enough to make the key set looks like SNES game pad(they're good but I think people will prefer base colors not legend colors)

Also remove the RGBY Arrows.(again, they're good but I think people will prefer WASD)

If you're planning to make everyone happy(Full size,TKL,60% or lower).

Go back to the RGBY WASD for Full size and TKL.

Add Dark gray WASZ and RGBY [;'/ for 60% or lower.

But we have to add four more keycaps to the key set.

The price might be higher but everyone will happy I guess.

I'm ambivalent on dark grey WASZ.

The [;'/ cluster should be RGBY in cap color rather than legend color to read better.

The grey wasz are cool, but I would probably never use them. I actually really like the subtle legend colored version, but full color ones are fine too. I do really like the arrows though for 65%.

RGBY wasd is a total waste of money to me. I have no want or use or interest in them.

The problem of RGBY arrows is they're only good with 65%(also 75% maybe) other than these kinda suck.

The grey WASZ are not necessary for me either, but I think a lot of people really like them(may be the reason that they like GMK SNES).

For RGBY ['/; legend colored or base colored, I'm not gonna use them if they don't match with WASZ.

That's why somehow people do want dark grey WASZ.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade and this may be an unpopular opinion but I think even the purple legends on alphas are a bit too much; they don't really even fit the (way less cool) NTSC version of the theme super well imo, and the JP/PAL version of the SNES is where it's at anyway.

Anyway here are some of my maybe radical ideas..

For RGBY ['/; legend colored or base colored, I'm not gonna use them if they don't match with WASZ.

That's why somehow people do want dark grey WASZ.

Not sure I can follow the reasoning behind the final conclusion here tbh.

Incase anyone missed it:
This is why people like those keys

All purple themed is NA, RGBY is Asia/EU/Oceania.

RGBY is Asia/EU/Oceania.

RGBY (along with the greys and purple of the console) is on the Super Advance arcade-style joystick controller which was a NA release for the SNES and while not made by Nintendo, it was an officially licensed product they had outsourced. Nintendo themselves then released a variation of the SA in Europe called The Score Master which also used RGBY colors on it.

Then there are a couple variations of the handheld controllers which used RGBY were both again licensed and released in NA. One was made by ASCii (same people that made the Super Advanced) and High Frequency. [Note: another controller was officially released, but I can't remember who makes it, but was called The Super Joy Card though not available in NA). If memory serves me correct, both NA handhelds were functionally the same, though aesthetically different as the ASCii had horizontal switches, while the HF had vertical.





I own a Super Advance along with 2 High Frequency Turbo controllers. SNES is still my favorite system with my favorite game of all time as well: A Link to the Past.

Edit: ASCii also made a one-handed version for the non-NA market, but I can't remember what it's called.

I meant the hhkb style arrows and matching dpad wasz from the og snes set.

Show Image


Going wasd looks cheap to me and feels like a bad compromise at best imo.

Also while the original render may have been incorrect, white is definitely too bright for an snes set, snes should definitely be gray on gray.

Tbh I think it would be best to either stick to Intellis design, or (maybe even bette)  start fresh with a new design based on the jp/pal snes like many suggested.

I don’t think anyone would mind a fresh take on the real deal reminecant of intellis set rather then a rough copy.

Just my two cents.

This is my favourite. If the mods only come with rgby legends, no dice for me.

Love the WASZ and HHKB Arrows, i think going WASD on this set is a bad idea.

So the greys and purple are based off of the SNES colors. Those colors are the ones that are inaccurate in the following picture:

https://imgur.com/KyzZ3S3

I'll work with thesis to have a better idea of the actual colors.

 I think the initial attraction of the set is because of a distinct set of features that have been removed, and from this render, my definitely in turned into ehh. Maybe.

A few things that would put me into instabuy...

1. Get rid of the plain jane ESC - Pause Row (R1) to reduce key count... don't think anyone would actually use them.
2. Bring Back WASZ in the dark grey.
3. Bring Back the [;/' Cluster in RGBY (Key colour, legends to be light grey)

Other considerations...

4. The RGBY arrows are okay to stay, but won't care if they disappeared as well.
5. Power/Reset on Enter/Backspace

But whatever happens, I do hope this thing goes through with consideration to everyone's input

i am still interested in N9 WASZ cluster, like intelli's original layout, with legends either white or purple to match the rest of the alphas. not N9 arrow keys, please.

i would also be interested in a child/add-on kit like this:

but not the colored WASD keys, just the N9 mods.

Also, i would suggest removing the center-stem 6u spacebar and replace it with a 7u spacebar in purple. imo, center-stem is still an unproven technology, and basically only benefits people with mx modded hhkb. otherwise, i think you have a nice kit that will cover most popular layouts

:D sounds great! hope you consider adding a purple 7u spacebar. i doubt you will find more than ~5 people who need that center-stem.

might also be worthwhile to take a poll or something on the N9 mods i showed above. i think they could be run as a child kit with its own MOQ. those keys would be very versatile and could be used with any dolch variant keyset. just a thought

N9 is the GMK color code for dark grey that is used for dolch mods and is also a very common color for legends.

Reworked kit with the inclusion of N9 WASZ is good, glad to see feedback taken into account.  While it'd be nice to have more options like dark mods and extra spacebars, can't really fault Oco for not wanting to get too ambitious with a set that failed MOQ before.

Just need final color and key choices decided (even if included as add-ons), before I 100% commit. I have a huge SNES/SFC (and NES/FC... and really anything custom old school Nintendo, but SNES is my favorite) before I fully commit. The original colorway was great, but they were also some interesting in member suggestions after this project came back into the light. Some were better than others, and while I know progress is nice, you can't please everyone with the number of people involved and the number of keys included/needing to be included to cover everyone's needs.

Just hope a nice middle ground can be reached, so we can start an official GB thread to see if MOQ is hit this time. I have some additional accessories I would be adding to a SNES/SFC keyset, so hopefully, this gets products for sure this time as well as in the problem colors to match the additional mods I plan for my completed project.

Regardless, hopefully, this set gets the official GB greenlight, so we can start placing orders.

In some ways I think the multitudes of sets running are good for the community so people can get exactly what they want, but it does make it a challenge for designers to get sets to reach the higher numbers of sales just because of all the options out there, so sets really need to be much closer to perfect these days.

That being said, I do think this is a great set, both on its own for how well it will play with other sets. There are some really stellar mix-n-match opportunities to be had with this set and other GMK sets.

Any update? Really disappointing this has gone on for so long without the buy starting.

i think sherry is focused on getting type machina up and running right now, so it'll be a bit

haven't talked to him in a week or two though, so things may have changed

Yeah, saw that few weeks ago. It looks like **** and the mods look awful as well. Looks nothing like the original renders. Wouldn't waste money on that.

Really really really hope so. That makes this set from meh to amazing.

Might just be me but the new render seems pretty well colour matched to the console. I think it'd sell well, too. I like it.

sherry plz tell me this year. while violet tendencies and royal are running, i think it is probably a good idea to hold off on another purple set for now...

but if you plan on stocking these, why not run it in Q3 this year?

Last I heard was it's going to be ran after they run the Originative set. Not sure if this got sidelined by Necro. Haven't had any update in a while.

I don't think Massdrop will have anything to do with this GB.

Pre order gmk ndt if you want this set. Originative is a dead company.
