With the resurgence of so many dolch themed sets, I am kind of tempted to take GMK Electric in a totally new direction. What do people who are interested in the set think? I would retain the same novelties but go for a different color scheme.

IMO, just run this set that you have put in so much hard work into...

And then work on the next version which will be the new direction? No harm in doing both :)

That would be Electric v2 in case you're wondering  :thumb: . Actually I have a new idea for that 2nd project, you could do a lightning theme? Then the 2nd version of that would be Lightning - The 2nd Strike  :D

Alright, I think those who have responded so far are right. I'll keep the set how it is, and perhaps run a redesign in the future.

Can't wait for the redesign too! As an EE with a brother who is an EE too, I will be needing 2 sets  ;D

How coincidental that as I'm about to post an update, people want updates!

To lead, I am extremely sorry to all those waiting for GMK Electric for all of the delays. I had promised this set would run in 2020 and that is no longer possible.

If you don't know, I'm trying to start my own mechanical keyboard vendor for the US, and it has been consuming most of my time lately.
Luckily, it has reached a point where I'm confident GMK Electric will be running on my own store  :D

As for updates: the desk mat has been finalized, and a sample is currently in the mail. Here are a couple pictures:




There are clearly some issues, such as the design being cut off at a weird place, and the most faded circuit being barely visible. This is why we get samples!

I'm in the process of updating my renders and applying a few last minute tweaks to the kits. Then, off to GMK it goes for pricing. Expect more updates in the coming weeks.

This set isn't dead! And if you've decided to hop onto one of the many similar looking sets that have ran recently, I don't blame you...

Big update today!

- New kit and board renders (by me)
- Thread formatting update
- USA, EU and CA vendors listed
- New pictures of the deskmat sample
- Base kit is now numpadless and ISO-less
    - Numpad has been moved to the numpad kit, changed numpad style to single legends
    - ISO has been moved to the ISO kit
- Added dark alphas kit
- Split novelties into "Symbol row" and "Novelties"
    - Replaced GND symbol with a NAND symbol (thank you to those that suggested adding this)
    - Fixed novelty enters being 2u instead of 2.25
    - Removed "geekhack" and "/r/mk" from novelties to reduce cost
- Spacebar kit now includes a 3C key, an extra 2C key, and extra Bs. Removed non-accent 6u spacebars.
- Extension now only supports accent (electric blue) enter keys
    - Reason: with the addition of the dark alphas, it would have been prohibitely expensive to include both gray and dark gray variants of all spacebars, so I see no reason in including the non-accent enters either.
- Norde kit has been updated to the latest version of GMK WOB & BOW's NordeUK+ kit
    - Supports British, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Faroese, Danish, Deutsch, and Portuguese layouts. I also included an Ñ key for Spanish layouts :)
    - I ommitted the » « key  as I couldn't find what layout it is a part of, if you know please let me know :)
    - Alt Gr and ISO enter keys are now a part of the ISO kit

Please, if you have the time, go through the new kits and let me know if anything is incorrect/missing. As soon as I am comfortable with the kits it goes off to GMK for pricing!

If the alice split bars are only in the extension kit (not my fav thing but ok) shouldn’t the b keys be in there instead of the spacebars kit?

Or put a 2.25u/2.75u in both extension and spacebar kit?

Do no 40%s use 2.25/2.75u? I would be willing to move those into the spacebar kit if it made sense

Some 40s use split bars, some don’t. Often the split bars in a 40s kit are the alpha color vs those in the spacebar kit are the accent color. I’ll defer to actual 40s users; only know 40s kit preferences because I buy split bars for any set I get.

I will just include an extra 2.75 and 2.25 in the spacebars kit. I don't think it will increase price by too much so it should be worth it to maximize capability.

I like my numpad in the base kit, I don't like TKL only kitting :/

I understand why some feel this way as it does slightly increase the cost for numpad users. But the increased affordability when this style fits a majority of people's needs makes more sense to me.

- Alt Gr and ISO enter keys are now a part of the ISO kit


I think these changes will make it very expensive for international layouts (non UK) to just get the base language support (as you will have to buy two separate kits).

I don't like the new kitting.  If you want to break everything up into this many kits, then you're better off using a different manufacturer that doesn't charge so much extra to split things up.  This sort of kitting would be a better fit for a Keyreative set.

I understand these concerns. It may be worth it to move base ISO support back into the base kit. I am going to get pricing for ISO in the base and out of the base to inform my final decision.

However, the numpad will still be left out of the base. If we can lower the price of the base enough to reach a $100 or $110 price point, then the extra $30 or so for a numpad kit would equate or be slightly higher than normal GMK pricing. Considering a majority of people only need TKL kitting, I think this makes more sense.

As for splitting novelties into two kits, I think neither will have trouble reaching a sufficient MoQ, so it shouldn't be too large of a difference.

Dark alphas are there to differentiate the set from so many other Dolch derivatives releasing in the past year, so I think adding this kit won't be an issue in regards to pricing either.

Having 10 kits with GMK can definitely be a bad idea if the set underperforms, but I have high hopes for Electric  :D I'm open to creative suggestions of course.

I personally think it's a bit presumptuous to go with the base with no numpad route. It's expected to be okay when the base kit is expected to sell north of 1000 kits, but I have a bit of skepticism for this case.

More importantly, if this set changes to icon only mods, I'm out.

I'm honestly quite hopeful for 4 digit kit numbers. Soon there will be pretty 3D renders and a full pricing + vendors list, meaning the set can begin proper hyping. Considering how long Electric has been in IC, I think it will pick up good traction.

And, I will not be changing the set to icon only mods. It is staying as text. Perhaps i'll consider icon mods for a future run.

Curious, is there a reason why the symbol keys and novelties are in two separate kits vs being combined into a single kit?

Mostly to lower the cost of the novelties kit, as it was probably going to be $70+ with the symbols included. Since not everybody wants the symbol row, I thought it would be a good idea to split them up. This also allows me to include more in the novelties kit without fear of making the price too high.

I personally think it's a bit presumptuous to go with the base with no numpad route. It's expected to be okay when the base kit is expected to sell north of 1000 kits, but I have a bit of skepticism for this case.

More importantly, if this set changes to icon only mods, I'm out.

It’s not presumptuous to assume that you know so much that his keyset won’t sell over 1000 sets? You’re comment honestly sounds much more presumptuous than the notion of a separate numpad kit..... or that he should listen to your threat to not buy if icon mods lol. Just saying. (I assume most keysets with 7 pages of discussion and that’s maintained people’s interest for about three years lol would sell decent. Especially since big sets are now almost hitting 10,000+)

I will not be changing the set to icon only mods. It is staying as text. Perhaps i'll consider icon mods for a future run.

Can you please include the icon mods on the ISO addon instead? (ISO layouts use icon mods and it's only 4 caps more into the addon - tab, capslock, shift, backspace)

I believe the 1.75u Backspace legend should have a Arrow on it as it fits, basically the same legend as a 2u.

Sorry but no, that would also require icon only ISO enters which I don't have already. The entire set is staying text for the first run at least.

Thanks Oblotzky, this will be fixed with the next update coming later today.

I hope we can hit 4 digit numbers, that would be great. But since i'm going to be running it on my new U.S store it has a little less exposure than it might with a bigger vendor. We'll see but I'm hopeful :)


In other news, I got the new deskmat sample and it looks absolutely amazing in comparison to the first.  Here's a pic:

ISO Enter isn't included in the base kit (only in the ISO addon) so it only needs to be switched for icon version. But then, it's all call. I just think ISO users are the ones who beg more for icon mods and this isn't even impacting the base kit and overall ANSI users.
