[IC] GMK SKIDATA+ (GB IS LIVE)

[Giorgio]

<s> wonderful seeing the bars on f and j ;-) </s>

Do you do anything else here but *****?

Sorry if I want to give you my money.

I'm sure it will really hurt the buy not to have your order

.

The fact is that I have no idea who you are. I'm writing on my cellphone and most of the time I reply without even looking who am I talking to. Now I realize that your are quite upset for my replies on the other thread. I wonder, why do you even reply if this makes you angrier than ignoring my posts? All this drama. Take it easy.

[Phirr]

We made a whole separate thread for this guys, come on.

[Karura]

From now on, any further discussion regarding bars, scoops, nipples, dimples, boobs, whatever, will be considered disrespectful towards the GB, and hence violators will be persecuted and banned from participating in the GB.

I hope this helps

I love orange

[FunkMasterJ]

Can't wait for this GB to start!

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the thread already but shouldn't the 1.75 control key be in r3 profile rather than r2?

This set has a charming and unique color-way. i couldn't resist the charming temptation of this color-way.
This unique color-way make this set match not so well with the common MOD Packs such as CMYW, CMYK,RGBY,RGBK as the hyper fuse and class beige do
However, the colorful and abundant mods included in this mock up make this set have more compatibility with many keyboards' lay-out.
What you have done for this replic set is fabulous and great and will be appreciated much . Thank you very much and keep on 

[Elrick]

SKIDATA has to happen here, because it's one of those Classical pieces from GMK back in the 90's so yet again, we are blessed to be getting a much updated version here to cover most keyboards.

[Karura]

I want to thank everyone for the words of encouragement and support. It's been a long journey of discovery and learning, and I'm glad to finally be able to offer this classic set in its ultimate, final boss form

With the way things have been going, hopefully we can even place the order with GMK before the one year anniversary of the project

[kekstee]

Oh god no, spare my wallet. I can't take a skidata GMK set with decent key selection.

Wait till you see the add-ons... :O

LOL

[nickheller]

I'll be in for a set 

[korrelate]

I love your choice of legends: ctrl, in particular, over "control." If i had a blue chassis I would be all over this - i think this trul is the boss set for blue cases (and probably white too) but I don't have either of those colors so I'm going to remain on the fence here.


very, very nice legend picks - a legend-less numpad is the only thing I'd do differently but nice gb though!

Edit:

Sadly, GH didn't like my sweetass reaction gif. Ah, well. Be aware that I'm super ecstatic to see the add-ons.

[Karura]

I'd hate to open another can of worms with this question, but, is there enough desire/want to go with a legendless numpad over the original Skidata one, which had legends?

I have definitely considered going with a legend-less numpad before, and think it looks pretty good, but what do you guys think? If there is enough support, we could switch over.

It looks quite clean with ISO legends.

[LechnerDE]

Personally I prefer the numpad keys with legends. To me it looks kinda naked without them, but then again I also prefer text+icon modifiers...

I am looking forward to the extra packs and will then decide whether I find a nice combination for me 

[Karura]

Yeah I think we'll stick with the original.

It just looks more complete with everything haha.

Meh...

[Data]

Meh is the correct response.

[joey]

That numpad is SWAG!

Yeah stick with the original Legends on the Numpad because it's PERFECT.  Why would any body who is sane, mess with such perfection?

[Karura]

Oh yeah, we are definitely going with the numpad legends of the OG with a small change, Mathematical symbols for * and / legends instead.

[Wilba]

Why mathematical symbols? (Seriously, I'm genuinely interested in why people would prefer them over the original glyphs, because I don't)

Simple answer, it's an OG Cherry DE ISO style, and the purpose of the numpad is really to just act like a calculator, so it makes sense and looks good to have the proper symbols. Also it goes with our set, due to it being an adaptation of Skidata which was a DE ISO set

I don't follow your reasoning... It sounds like you're saying "Cherry DE ISO uses ÷ and ×, so Skidata+ should too", yet the original Skidata used / and * (and English legends), despite being a Cherry DE ISO set.

[Karura]

It's merely a carefully thought-out design choice, part of the update/refreshment of the original set, hope this clears things up.

hi , when did you want to make this happen? i need to save money for this set

[bazh]

late to the party, does the mod legend happen to be symbol only in the final buy?

[Wilba]

It's merely a carefully thought-out design choice, part of the update/refreshment of the original set, hope this clears things up.

Not really. If it's essentially a standard ANSI set, then I'd prefer a compelling reason to use ÷ and × instead of the standard ANSI symbols / and *
(To be clear, if Triumph Adler GMK was made as an authentic reproduction, complete with German legends and ÷ and ×, I'd be fine with it. I just prefer consistency and sticking to a standard over some arbitrary novelty.)

[Karura]

Since so far the progress has been very efficient, the GB is set to open mid to late September. At the very latest, 10/10, if delayed. We'll know for sure when we receive the mockups for every add-on, as well as price.

The modpack keys will contain the same final legends chosen for the base set, since they are designed to compliment each other.

This set is far from standard, just as the original Skidata was a GMK creation, without following any conventional standards, and contained a mix match of both English and DE ISO legends.

Despite not following any standards, I'd argue that the original Skidata set still turned out pretty good, and is well-loved.

Please keep in mind that when designing keyset legends, there will always be compromises made as it is not possible to include every legend out there to satisfy everyone.

The very least that can be done is to make sure there are enough keys with the correct legend-type, for every conventional layout to ensure max compatibility, which is how SKIDATA+ was designed.

SKIDATA+ will use "÷" and "×" for the numpad area.

I guess the "arrow" (not sure what to call it) style caps lock symbol is being used because people do not like the pad lock symbol?

Haha, it's understandable. I recommend checking out JaccoW's photos in the OP ;)

He has them displayed on his various custom keyboards; all very nice.

They're the keyboards that inspired me to run this GB!

And if anyone wants to see any particular color combo just let me know. Chances are I can give you an impression on how well they match. ;)
I will try shooting some CMYW, RGBY and perhaps a few other colors later this week.

MAJOR UPDATE! New finalized mockups posted!
These have been colour corrected to better represent the real keycap colours.

There is still more to come

all those add on pack and not one with an extra 2x25 shift T_T

[igke]

Yeah, now it is for sure. This will be an instant classic. Count me in.
I really would like to see the Dolch alphas with Skidata mods, like on their Dolch 286 board.
