Update for iso kit.
Two keys for ISO-DE has been removed since those are already available in the base set. Added missing ISO-UK key (|\).
Show Image


Hi Tombery,

I can only speak for ISO-UK, 5 out of 6 UK specific keys are present. The only one that is slightly off is R4 bar/backslash (it replaces the < > key on the German keyboard, right next to ISO Left shift). Maybe if you don't want to add any more keys to the kit, perhaps make the UK legends side-printed? That would be pretty neat, like Ivan's GMK Dolch set where all the UK legends are side-printed to the ANSI keys, so technically it still supports full ISO-UK without having to add the 6 additional alphas (that set only had the extra ISO-Enter, ISO Shift and the bar/backslash key next to ISO Shift)


Thank you :) Please check the update.

Would like to see a deeper orange although, and time is no problem at all for me.

Definetly in for that ISO-Addon, i already hear some folks crying for not having participated in the baseset.

Well done und einen schönen Sonntag

Bit late to the discussion (I missed it), but just saying I would definitely buy an ISO kit. Although I have transitioned to ANSI and similar layouts, I'm still in the UK, and I'd like my sets to be future proof. In the future I may want to use something more full size, or perhaps an ISO-UK Cherry board, so this will definitely be one to get.

Me like.
I'm using Swedish layout which is kinda like German layout (see https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=82542.0 for difference between DE and SE layout). So if you'd consider to add some keys to help us Swedes you would make me (and probably some other people happy).

A single "Å"-key would be a really good start and make me join the GB, and everything beyond that would be awesome (if I have counted correctly SE has 8 keys not available in ANSI or German, in which "Å" is the most important, and some keys like "2" is close enough to the UK ISO "2", etc.).

(Feel free to send me a PM if you'd like to discuss this further).

There were already requests for swe layout....

Now this is experimental. I'll ask for pricing but i do not promise this will be included into GB. There are reasons for it. First thats already 46 keys. Thats a lot and might cost also a lot. Second reason is we dont know igf gmk has all the molds/legends available. Probably new molds will be required. Thus will sky rocket the pricing and that will be unacceptable. As i said i'll ask but its not guaranteed to be included into gb.

By the way that spacy "Q" key from the samples. I thought all the time i've seen that Q somewhere and i got it. Its the "uniqey" keyboard from gmk :)
https://uniqey.net/

Thank you T0mb3rry for bringing this!!!! You are much more an action man than I expected after watching the long thread in Comp*****.de

As I suggested in that forum, to expand the set for other Nordic fellows should push the MOQ up. As I remembered, GMK claimed to own original Cherry molds, and Cherry had produced keycaps for almost every layout, so I assume that they have others ISO molds too. There was a time some guys already contacted GMK about ISO layouts, and as I recalled, the problem was always only MOQ.

So let's get this ISO thing done!!! Kudos on you and Wodan. :thumb:

Just as reminder that iso kit and i mean the big iso kit (UK, DE, Nordic) will be running through MD, since we'd like to reach many people as possible for the moq. Also i am working right now on a community kit. I will discuss that community kit here later.

However i dont have any eta on these addons to drop. I hope this gonna drop soon tm.

In regards of deeper orange: i hope i'll get new samples in a few weeks.

hi, what rows are the community kit? I'm assuming they are R1 same as the novelty kit? I would much prefer the beige key to be mixable in the alpha cluster e.g "M"-Massdrop key is R4 to replace standard M key etc.

Yeah i'll add 1.75u keys to spacebars kit.

Dont know why people think that 6u spacebar would fit topre boards. Afaik you can use only topre spacebars since they got special stabs which you cant replace just like that. Also i heard or read somewhere that the 6u spacebar has an offcenter stem which makes it fit only  cherry 1800er boards. So its just a niche thing. However i'll ask GMK more about it.... I mean i'll add it so everybody is happy...  ;D

Thanks! This GB seriously has been run very professionally. And excellent analysis regarding the Dvorak/Colemak issue -- well researched. But I'd still like to echo that since it can be potentially first for a GMK keyset that has this layout, there may be significantly more interested parties. Perhaps it's worthwhile to run an IC on multiple forums? I'll definitely buy at least 3 myself

Some topre users novatouched their keyboard, mostly hhkb pro2 users. That might be one of the reason they would like to see 6u spacebars. I am sure you already knew about that.

It is known that GMK has the mold for MX space bar in 6u available; of course, it does not fit Topre boards but some 1800 boards whose models include a 6u bar. I just ask because seeing even smaller space bars, that I consider niche, while 1800 Cherry boards are available, I just wonder why not a 6u space bar is also included; but, as always, your group buy, your rules.

You can't use mx spacebars on novatouched topre boards. The only use would be for custom HHKB mx boards, like the X60 or the Duck Viper.
