Yep Ducky boards use the standard 6.25 length spacebar that is included in all GMK sets

Custom colors do not cause that much increase in pricing. I dont think gmk has already these colors in their palette, so the colors will be custom.

oh boy... seeing the new update, I think this would look rad on a filco minila. Any chance for a 1U Shift?

EDIT: allthough it'd need 2x (one could make-shift the rest)... IDK, probably too much to ask for, Minila has a too extravagant layout I guess. Just was a thought I had...

Indeed I am not worrying about the price.I am thinking about that if some colors in the keyset are just old ones we are familiar with or they could be found in the existing standard colors,I can probably imagine what this keyset will look like.I am not sure if I make it clear.......

It appears that the renders do not match the final layout anymore, for example, the arrows are in orange, while the finals are dark gray.

Yeah TKL render is out of date but not 60%. I'll ask Zambumon for new renders for us.

I'll look into it, but i do not promise.

There will be no color pack. As i said no child deals, just a single base kit. In case of Novelties, if they are going to drop, then only as a separate drop.

Don't know but you are not the first person who can't see that delete key.

I really dont understand that you are trying to say. But i am trying to get my hands on gmk color chips, just for the case they got some matching colors already. However it does not change the fact that this keyset will get its original colors.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but will you be retaining the Windows logo as per this render? Because the mock-up showed the Win key as just "Win" legends.

Not sure yet, we should discuss it probably. I am not that neatpicky about that.

It was designed for TKL layout. See my previous mockups for other alyouts like 75% or 1800. The colorway breaks. It was always on my mind to change the colorway to classic one. Less orange is more. But if people want that hard i can add atleast f1-4 and f9-12 in orange and maybe arrows. But we are speaking here of pricing above 140$.
do we need MOQ at 500 or less due to custom color?
Nope, we'll need 150 units.

I'd personally prefer having the Windows logo there, but the mileage of others may vary.

Regarding the colorway, I think the current setup is okay but I can understand where people are coming from with the "yet another orange over black" color combination. Personally, I'd be fine with either because I think both accentuate the set quite well!

Ok i get it.

The thing is, i have to make some decisions, which will hurt either the conservatives (classic colorway) or the liberals (Carbon original colorway). Now i dont want to do that. Because i feel the hype and i want everybody to get his Carbon as he wishes, ofcourse in realistic way. In short i was aiming at price of 140$ for a set and it is quite hard task. You know the limitations.

So my suggestion is, what about if we rise the bar to 150$. With 150 bucks we got room for both colorways. Ofcourse there will be people who will say: yeah but i need it only for my 60% board. In this case i just want to counter: Think in a long term! Its better to have spare keys and knowing your keyset can match every layout. It may come you'll find a better board but with different layout and you will have the keys for it. Its a good thing. Also it will raise the variety of colorways. For example you can have f-row completely gray.

Now my question is, is Carbon (with that variety) worth 150$?

Got new render from user VereChi. The modifiers are black but give this guy some props ;) (doing renders is work)


Update: i'll get probably next month gmk color chips  ;)

I'm in for this no matter what, honestly.

While I do prefer some more orange (orange alphas + warning signs was so awesome), I still really like the current Base Kit offering.

That said, if I'm paying $140 for a keyset I absolutely don't mind paying $150 for one with even more options. I'm not going to let $10 stand in the way of everyone getting what they want.

Got Novelties render from gmk. Colors are wrong, so we dont need to speak about colors right now!
Its going to be double shot not printed! Its not final as Carbon periodic key is missing


You can expect these pricing and moq. Again its not set in stone!
150 ..... 70$
250 ..... 53$
500 ..... 40$

Novelties will be a standalone drop!

A set of novelties by GMK, wow, this should be a first ever set made by the Germans. As a side note, I think it is fair to include the carbon novelty along with the main set, it is like an authenticity seal, one maybe included in the novelties set as well.

And you have GOT TO do the MOQ 150@$75 for the novelties.  This needs NO further discussion.

GH users interested in GMK sets may be incline for the most expensive option with everything included; but, based on recent failed drops and almost failed ones, you should better ask in places like r/mk, that I think accounts for most of the demand at massdrop, it is generally accepted that r/mk users tend to be younger, if so, they might have less money available than DT and GH users do, also they are less conservative and tend to prefer brilliant colors and other profiles over GMK, stuff like PBT cheap sets, even if they say yes to the expensive set option, the set may not reach MoQ, and for sure, it well get a lot of criticism because of its high price tag.

I got over 2.6k votes for redrop on Carbon in SA profile. I am prety sure we will gather 150 participants if not more. 99% this is going to be reality. I am leaving 1% for saying **** happens.

Carbon SA sold ~700 base kits. Thats a lot. And honestly it is still a hard to get keyset, because almost nobody wants to sell it. That i am trying to tell, Carbon is to attractive (for majority) to fail. Again i dont want to sound ingnorant but its proven for succes.

The only thing i am asking is feedback. It has to be a pleasure for everyone.

Great! forget it then, everything appears to point to a big success.

In my case MD is out of my reach as for some reason they decided to drop to ship to where I am now, I will try to find a proxy, or even a relative that may receive the set and keep it until I travel to ConUS, in any case, congratulations.

Now i got some news actually. But stay calm first and take it all with "grain of salt".

Got Novelties render from gmk. Colors are wrong, so we dont need to speak about colors right now!
Its going to be double shot not printed! Its not final as Carbon periodic key is missing
Show Image


You can expect these pricing and moq. Again its not set in stone!
150 ..... 70$
250 ..... 53$
500 ..... 40$

Novelties will be a standalone drop!


Hype!  :p

im definitely in for novelties!  :p

Dang dat novelty set...  :eek:
To me Carbon is a lot about having the warning symbol keys, so for me they really make or brake the set.
If the novelty set makes it I'm definitely down for a set!  :thumb:

I think the amount of options is a little limited by two keys I would be really missing tho personally:
An orange on gray Esc and atleast one additional orange 1u R1.

Right now the options for using the orange novelty row would be pretty much limited to this:



To achieve symmetry you would need atleast one of the mentioned keys, which would allow for layouts like this:

With Orange on gray Esc



With one additional 1u R1


Im personally a big fan of the all orange top row.
If adding additional keys is not an option at this point, this could even be achieved by changing print, lock and pause to gray on orange like it was in the original Carbon set.

The best solution imo would be to add the additional orange on gray Esc, aswell as an extra gray on orange 1u R1 like ~`.

I reallt hope this can be taken into consideration as it shouldn't be to big of a change, and I personally would much prefer more color options and proper implementation of the noveltys over R5 support...

Edit: excuse the quick dirty mockups

Orange novelty row could also be used on function keys on a TKL or fullsize board.
