[IC] GMK Muted 2

[treeleaf64]

Basic. Good. Yes.

[Xerpocalypse]

I wouldn't mind seeing mod tilde/pipe added to the extension kit, but otherwise definitely looking forward to this.

[Endeavour1934]

I love the set, except for R5, which I really dislike.

Have not tried R5 and want to try. But I hope there’s a R4 conversion kit to accommodate those who don’t like or cannot deal with R5.

[Tom_Kazansky]

I want to try R5... and we even have accents split-spacebars 

decision... decision...

[defzone]

Take my money

[EdgeOfInfinity]

[audax989]

[surfmurder]

r5 so good

[LightningXI]

To see people advocating for R5 now... I'm not crying, you're crying...

When I'd suggest it on ICs it'd get shot down so quickly...

that implies that cool people like it

It also does not imply that it's the sexiest way to dress up your keeb. Which it is.

[i luv chuletas]

Any chance for an additional 2u spacebar on the extension kit at least? Would love this for my M-50 2x2u

Could we get mod tilde and mod pipe added please? However I don't want it matching Muted, could you make it say Handarbeit coloured?

[lakeboredom]

Why is row 5 so rare anyway? Can only think of two sets maybe that used it.

There's been a few, but they're far and few.

They are pretty common in OG caps though.

[Shiba1337]

Imo it looks like 9009 with extra accents. Would need something to differentiate it for me to want to pick it up.

[BeachFan69]

In.

guess it's time to post this image again

[Jaxxstatic]

I think you mean these images:



With mod tilde and pipe.

(I'm kidding btw. I think mod pipe and tilde are an abomination. But I also want to have the freedom to change my mind on that when I want).

no

[mr_fro2000]

This is what I need!

[noorejji]

Dunno what to tell you, one is beige and one is grey. Both classic colorways, do you honestly expect a significant change on something classic? Like yeah let's add some beatboxing on Beethoven's Für Elise. You're of course entitled to not want both a beige and a grey keyset, it's just a bit redundant comment to make.

I wouldn't expect anything less from someone with a Greg signature.

+1 this needs to happen

[dibstern]

+1 for the sleeves addon, I am not personally a fan of the additional colours

Guten Tag sehr geehrte Verfechter der richtigen und einzigen Tradition,

As this thread has been filled with a discussion about traditional keycap colors and which keycaps to include or not include in your kits in 2020, I have some questions, maybe someone can answer.

1. What are function keys considered as? Alphas or Mods? There seems to be some identity crisis there...

2. Why are there kits with different colored Mods? What makes them different? Is this for aesthetic reasons???

3. Why is there a second B included in the Base Kit? In case I lose the other one? Why only that key then? Or is it because of a layout that cannot decide which hand to use to type that letter? You can type B with whichever finger you like, but a keyboard shouldn't have the same Alpha cap on it twice...just doesn't make sense. Except for Ñ of course. You can't have enough of that.

question Mark
a.k.a. question Euro (since 1999)

3. Why is there a second B included in the Base Kit?

alice layout

second b started as a meme but now people riot if it's not included

So the memers get their B, but the aesthetes don't get their mod tilde and mod pipe...

I think the problem here is that inclusion is always welcome, but exclusion hurts...especially when it has been the standard for years.

I agree. If it were up to me we'd exclude everyone.

Don’t hold your breath.

But ultimately it's the runner's choice, ofc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[HoodrowThrillson]

Don't like R5?

[noorejji]

1. What are function keys considered as? Alphas or Mods? There seems to be some identity crisis there...

2. Why are there kits with different colored Mods? What makes them different? Is this for aesthetic reasons???

1. Function keys are function keys. Alternating the alpha and modifier colors on them is a classic aesthetic.

2. Those are accent colors, you generally have them on Esc, Enter, Spacebar and Arrow keys. Purely for aesthetics.

more people are probably gonna use the second B than people will use mod pipe

mod tilde is a weird exclusion to me but i've got no horse in this race as i'm a colemak user

Thanks! I guess you can get my point. While it is OK for this set to have different colors for the F-row and accent colors for mods - clearly due to aesthetic reasons - it is obviously an abomination for two alpha keys to be mod colored.

[noorejji]

I just got a great idea: accent tilde and bar

[NoxNoxNox]

Please put mod tilde in one of the kits.  Its an accent corner key for split backspace.  If we are trying to streamline kits then we certainly don't need 5 capslock keys and an extra 'b' in the basekit.  Put some of that stuff plus mod tilde in the extension kit.

Round 1 of this having more options than round 2... seems backwards.  Expanding compatibility instead of removing it seems better.

Mod tilde and pipe have been in almost every kit for years because people wanted them.  Really disappointing to see regression like this.

agree...
it's strange that we have "option" for Capslock key (down arrow + purse) instead of pipe.
can we... put the stepped Capslock to rest? I'm biased because I don't use that key but: removing that key wouldn't hurt sale that much, right?
