Always like seeing more add-ons for wob/bow. GLWIC

These turned into full keysets, no add-ons anymore.

I hereby resign as Tom's GH Cyrillic WoB & Beige liaison.

Thanks for rushing to make the RA GB date, Tom - I really appreciate that. Very happy GMK is willing to work with both of us.

I like kits as it is right now.
But I say NO for R5. Classic set needs classic rows.

I'm in for WoB.

LightningXI · « **Reply #155 on:** Thu, 25 February 2021, 09:47:32 »

R5 is technically The Classic but yeah

hi, I'm new here, how to find out where and when (if) there will be a group buy for these keycaps?

Yes, I order dolch and muted to try r5, but I know I like r4 already so I would be more up for those as first cyrillic doubleshot sets

Once GMK Fuji has concluded - likely May at the moment.

azzipa · « **Reply #160 on:** Thu, 04 March 2021, 14:29:18 »

hard to justify more BoW in my life. hard to justify more beige in my life. hard to justify not getting this set in my life. most of all, hard to figure out which one since my wallet will not be happy with both.

bliss · « **Reply #161 on:** Fri, 12 March 2021, 17:11:20 »

This comes just at the right moment!

WoB kit as of now is perfect for me, will be great together with shinethrough keycaps that are also running atm by HoodrowThrillson (both WS1 on CR)

Kinesiologist · « **Reply #162 on:** Fri, 12 March 2021, 17:15:23 »

Is it possible to add F13 into the base kit?

What is the rationale for including an R4 <> key? It is redundant with the ,< and .> keys. An R4 \| key makes more sense.

I do actually somewhat share this sentiment and have been considering getting another |\ with the / sublegend in there instead. The rationale is that you get physical ISO coverage and somewhat cover a lot of layouts (you have quite a few using R3 |\ and others using R4 ><), though none really use both besides what's called 'terminal ISO' - but I don't think many people are using that at this point

Some prefer R4 <> for purely aesthetic reasons, to avoid duplicate \| keys

You may consider including a key with both legends <> and \|, or maybe the two keys. Or the <>\ key that it is used in some euro-layouts.

Finally i can buy a beige GMK Set, thank you

Domantas · « **Reply #168 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 09:59:48 »

Will there be seperate numpad for beige one? While WOB is easy to buy, beige is more rare gmk keycap set and it is often nice to have full set with numpad especially of more rare colors

Did a couple minor kit updates in the OP. Cannon Keys is on board as US vendor, with Swagkeys and Funkeys coming in as proxies for their respective regions too. We are reaching out for renewed quotes, and hope to run the GB either mid-April (at the conclusion of GMK Fuji) or early-May. Very happy to finally get this project going

I have been wondering for a while now, but why are the subs in the beige render thinner than those in the WoB render? Set looks great, but I am curious which version we should expect to get; the thicker subs, or thinner ones.

Renderer of the kits here. It's an optical thing that happens with contrasting colors like that. Legends with the same thickness appear thicker when it's light color on dark background, and vice versa. I'm using a single set of legends for both versions, that's why it looks that way.

However I can't answer to what the actual legends will look like, or if GMK adjusts the thickness somehow based on the colors.

ideus · « **Reply #173 on:** Sun, 11 April 2021, 09:02:00 »

The sets feature support for TKL, sixty, and under-sixty boards that worth to be highlighted:

R2 1.5 backspace;
R3 1.75 control;
R1, 3 & 4 1u Bar/back-slash;
Second "B" key, for Alice-users;
Split space-bar coverage;
System keys (for the OS agnostics);
Full navigation column;
R1 delete key;
Alternative home-keys (bars/deep-dish);
Step caps-lock;
R4 1u control and alt keys;
6.25/7u bottom rows.
Non-less, the essential beige and black have a homage, one more time.

Any MKL that respects himself should have one Cyrillic double shot in his inventory, and if it comes in classic colors, it would be even better. Let your wallet feel the pain.

R4 >< was changed to |\ somewhat recently but that's about it. We've got quotes in for this kitting.

I just hope that your chosen vendors do not charge hefty shipping prices. Some vendors' minimum shipping costs start at $ [37–39], which is insane. As an example of the opposite, I just bought a Chess set from India that was under $50 with shipping included, it was delivered in few days by FedEx. There should be something the vendors may arrange, mostly with the recent trend of buys with hundreds of orders pre-purchased and paid in advance.

Hello all - updated the main thread with some renders and further details. Pricing is looking like $119.99 / €119.99 with other vendors following suit - ideal MOQ on each kit being 500. Slightly more expensive pricing is due to mould costs, as explained in the OP.

Some eye candy from the talented pikku-allu:

More renders coming soon.

ggggggg · « **Reply #185 on:** Thu, 29 April 2021, 23:47:55 »

Haven't rest through the entire thread but is 3 key 40s support off the table? Glwic, looks to become a staple set.

Edit: whoops, gb starts tomorrow lol. Disregard this comment.

Added a few beige renders. GB page is pending approval, with the sale starting tomorrow.

Two nice sets in a row and price isn't too rough. Though my wallet isn't to happy about that, so maybe will choose one maybe two
