This is a surprise considering the number of WS2 sets running currently.

I like the kit layouts. On the Alternate kit, I feel that black text might work better on the green caps for legibility.
Looks like GMK Hennessey, pass!
Looks like GMK Hennessey, pass!Are you and janglad related? You guys complement each other.
very cool, how does white compare to bleached white/minimal white?
So the base kit arrows are the new centered icons while Addition arrows are the old ones, right?
With aftermarket prices for GMK Minimal soaring to well over 200% Ryan/Quaddepo and I felt it was time to offer you this classic again
can't tell, but does the base include 1.75u shift? Or would i need to buy the addition kit as wellYes
ngl, I'm pretty confused at why Dixies' X is in the Accent kit. I understand that he's a vendor. I also don't think that warrants having his branding in the set, even if it's in an accent kit. I would be interested in the justification.
Other than that, good to see it back!
ne text + icon mod kit available?
YES! Please give the norde kit a chance and include accent ISO enters as well in the int or accent kit if possible.
Please add alternate colors for the ISO Enter <3
Love it!!, but why is there no ISO enter? no seriously WHY is there not a ISO enter in the alternate pack?
you got an ANSI and a numeric but skipped on a colorful ISO real men´s enter... And there's even a Norde kit (which I appreciate) but then it hurts my feeling even more that you skipped on a colorful ISO enter...
If Rama or someone made an alu ISO enter in one of colors - well needless to say the set would be on every girl and boy´s wishlist..
I don't want to be that guy (Lies! I love being that guy!), but I'd like to point out a flaw in the "Norde" kit: the `¬¦ and 4$€ keycaps are used only in the English (UK) national layout, so they ought to be in the "Addition" kit (if keeping the tertiary legends) or erased altogether (if going in the "English (UK) omits tertiaries" route).
Also, no R3 \| anywhere? :(
It'd be nice to have R3 \| in Addition or, at least, Norde.
Was about to ask for a 2nd 2.25u shift key but saw it has been added in one of the add-ons.
Now if you would consider weeb and hiragana kits. Will pick the lot.
Love this white tone!
Come on, it's now round 2. Let's add weeb sublegend as extra kit :p
Please add a icon only mod kit if you don't want them in base please! Even if they are Dixie mods ill live with it just no text only :)

I'm sure he will be in here and let you know the designer totally and specifically requested it like with gmk Burgundy 😂😂😂😂
Is this still the same colours as Minimal R1, so it will be compatible with icon modifiers?It’s the same colors: ws1 and cr.

At the moment we're really not interested in offering mod kits. There already was an WS1 icon mod kit, they're always very expensive and most of all text mods is a big part of what made Minimal Minimal.

Yes, to get 4 proper arrow keys I now also have to pay extra for a dixie novelty as well as accents which go against the whole point of "minimal". Thanks.

I find the same thing vulgar in designer clothing and other aspects of life too. Stay away from brands who feel the need to plaster their logo across the chest to help them feel relevant and invest in proper garment designers who breathe elegance and sophistication instead. :)
Sure if it's a Dixie set, go ham. In the case of Burgundy he had no hand in designing it, that was laughable. I mean some might say it's a smart marketing strategy, but I don't know man, the amount of people disgusted by it are increasing by the day. Just so happens the amount of people despising Dixie mods are increasing too. I guess executing a bad idea poorly wasn't really a recipe for success, but hey what do I know. 😇

Here, I'll be constructive. I suggest that you include og style arrows in the main kit, to make the base kit more versatile in terms of pairing with other mod kits out there. To my knowledge, ws1 and CR centered mods do not exist (or many other stand-alone mod kits with centered legends), so how about making these new style arrows optional for those that want and appreciate them?

I'll second this ideal. OG arrows in base, new style in accent does make a lot more sense to me since it's text mods in this set.

+1 to this too. I never have any problem with OG arrows and I never even realize that there are people out there that have problem with OG arrows. If more people want OG arrows then it makes more sense have OG arrows in the base kit instead. Same for the other way around.

I'd actually like to see the new arrows in the accent kit too, but for totally different reasons. Namely, I do like and want the centered arrows, but I already have Minimal R1, so I'm not going to be picking up the base kit. Having centered arrows in the accent kit would be ideal for people who own R1, since there's already a big incentive for them to pick up that kit as an add-on for their existing sets.
The R3 \| key is for ISO-US right, that seems to have an incredibly small userbase. Same thing as always tho, fill out the form and we'll see :)Besides US ISO, it's also used in the Apple UK ISO layout (https://i.stack.imgur.com/1goG1.png), as well as some other, mainly European, ISO layouts (which, granted, aren't fully covered by Norde). It's kind of a neutral R3 key if your particular layout isn't covered.

But, out of the current form entries the people who voted yes form far from a majority out of total votes. I suspect that will change even more once the form gets shared to other platforms considering the more "OG" audience of Geekhack so I don't think switching around the places would be the right call.

how about adding yellow accent?
Current ones were made as a fresh spin on the classic RGB mod colours, the kit already has plenty of accent keys as is and this might be increased even more considering a good few people are asking for either spacebars or ISO accent keys. Having 4 accent colours would make the kit very expensive.

Maybe it's an optical illusion, but do the left and right arrow keys have the same alignment between the two styles? The centered style just look off to me, since the arrow-heads are no longer aligned and it looks like maybe the left and right arrows could be move down slightly to fix that.

On the centred ones they are, well, centred while on the OG ones they're aligned to the bottom of the text on the modifier keys meaning they're slightly to the bottom of centre (since the mod text is centred).

IDK, but they think their opinion is more important than the designers of this set, going so far as calling it prideful to design a set according to their opinions.

I expect most people prefer the new ones. It's just the people who are really attached to OG Cherry look for some reason are very vocal about it.
I understand some people prefer the OG style off arrows, we weren't originally planning on adding them but did for this reason. But, out of the current form entries the people who voted yes form far from a majority out of total votes. I suspect that will change even more once the form gets shared to other platforms considering the more "OG" audience of Geekhack so I don't think switching around the places would be the right call.
Seriously though, there is. We strongly feel like it's the better design decision, text is centred so arrows are too. Like I said before, I understand some people strongly prefer the OG style arrows and that's why we added the option even though we weren't planning on it. I don't think basing kit design for 100% of people around the small percentage of people who would both have bought the BoW mod kit without having a set to use it on or the handful of people looking to combine this with R1 Minimal is a good choice.

Keep in mind that the percentage of people filling out the form who actually end up purchasing the set is likely going to be higher for people coming from Geekhack compared to other platforms. And in general, some people will fill out the form just for the heck of it, without necessarily caring about the set; or just being driven by momentary hype, which is fickle and may wear off by the time the GB rolls around. We probably care about the set enough if we take the time to offer constructive criticism in hopes of improving the set and, thus, the value for money we get. (Except for Emir, he just likes taking every opportunity he gets to **** on centered mods. :D)
That, combined with the fact that the relevant question in the form wasn't phrased in a way that would allow you to definitively draw such a conclusion, tells me that you shouldn't be too quick in writing off direct feedback like that.
Realistically speaking, though, I'd wager that the majority of buyers won't care about the arrows either way in the end. So, why not listen to those that do care and score yourself a few easy wins (kit purchases), and make those customers happy?
And here's an honest question, which may or may not be indicative of anything: how much feedback have you received that's in favor of keeping centered arrows in base? I don't expect it to be much, since people have a tendency to complain about the things they don't like more than comment about what they do like, but I'm wondering if there was any significant feedback in that direction at all.
Also, way to turn your back on people who supported you in R1 and were looking to support you again. That doesn't leave a very good impression.
Somehow I’ve said more than anyone on this IC without actually saying anything.Your silence is deafening!
Am i the only one who likes the new arrows? I say keep em as is
I expect most people prefer the new ones. It's just the people who are really attached to OG Cherry look for some reason are very vocal about it.
I am really on the fence for this kit. I would buy it with the hope that there will be a BoW Colevrak kit in the future like the WoB kit running now. I guess it'll depend on the final price.
I love it and will definitely be in the groupbuy.
Although, I think thought alternate keycaps would look a little nicer if the colours were a little more washed out and not so bold.
For me: the more accent kits the better, I'd be down to buy the bold and washed out it there were two offered.
Blank white deskmat? I'd buy.Me too.
Those keys were more so meant to give people another option, they're the technically correct keys but sets have always used the simplified version so that's what we defaulted too. The R3 \| key is for ISO-US right, that seems to have an incredibly small userbase.
Blank white deskmat? I'd buy.

I would too but I worry I'd turn it into a deskmat for GMK Cafe in a week or two
Any chance of adding light blue or light orange to the accent kit
Any chance of adding light blue or light orange to the accent kitalso this. I know MoDo blue accents with this set was a popular choice for many, I think it would look great in the accent kit
Is WS1 a good match to RAMA's U80-A Milk color?@litster

WS2 (GMK Monochrome, GMK Bleached) might be a better match than WS1.
Can we get a 2U shift key?
Just missed out on GMK Bleached and GMK Redacted looks too messy for me so this is perfect timing. When’s the GB?
gb ended???

Will iso enter and other caps be added to norde kit like it was in mordern dolch 2? I would personally love this.
when gb?
Can we get Mr Sleeves Round 2 for this and make sure we get a text mods option? The arrow on the Enter key ruined the minimalism.+1 to this. Would love some pastel accents to go along with this.

Is the tilde legend really that big? Is that just the GMK style?
Loving this. Could the ISO enter key be included in the alternate kit please?

I hope you will update the Norde Kit and add the other necessary ISO keys to it (like you did it with the Norde Kit for Modern Dolch R2!).+1 for coloured ISO enters please!
Oh and colored ISO-Enters please!
Please include a black with white enter and esc as well as the colours in the ISO kit.+1
This is a render of GMK WS2 (GMK Bleach) in an e-White case.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/JaodRrf.png)
It's already pretty much a perfect match.
Question:
How can OP create an even more perfect match to e-White? (i.e. than WS2)
Hi guys! I got some exciting news: GMK Minimal 2 will be running from August 2nd until September 2nd through Dixiemech, Dailyclack, IlumKB, Mykeyboard and Zfrontier! Mark your calendars :DSince great stuff in there, I don't suppose the last surprise is ISO enters for alternate is it? Only thing from stopping me buying this.
Now for a few updates:
First of all you might have noticed something about the name there, for consistency's sake with projects like GMK Modern Dolch 2 (and honestly because Minimall was quite a confusing name) we decided to change to GMK Minimal 2.
Secondly, you guys loved the "all in" Norde kit of MoDo 2 so we brought the same system here! This means Norde users won't have to buy Addition for the ISO keys!Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/S34NWgl.jpg)
Lastly, we've decided to make Minimal just that little bit more Minimal by adding mono alphas! These are a great new addition to the set and are perfect to complete that clean look!Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/JWpUmwh.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/YvDopKn.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/I6uD1Xv.jpg)
We also have one last exciting item to add so keep your eyes open ;)
I know it's late, but I would love some form of 1u something in r3 that isn't TAB, ESC, or PgDn. There's a 1.5(?) R3 FN in the obscure kit; I'd be plenty happy with a 1u R3 FN too or even a blank. It's just that not all ortho users have that R3 as TAB or ESC and there's literally nothing else in base or obscure to put there except PgDn.
Agree (we've had this convo before). In this case, I was just leveraging that there's already an FN key (albeit too big) in the obscure set.I know it's late, but I would love some form of 1u something in r3 that isn't TAB, ESC, or PgDn.

Can we get a Canadian vendor please. Maybe deskhero? dont wanna pay high shipping plus duties

Pretty please with cherry on top? FedEx/UPS would charge us an extra 20% “handling fees” on top of duties. We always end up paying an extra 40-50% when shipping from the states. :mad:
Hello, kind of new at this and just wanted to make sure...but when you say Aug 2 - Sept 2, does this mean it is an unlimited group buy? I see that mechs conversations always include whether it is unlimited or fcfs so I just wanted to make sure! Thank you!

I have the following general assessments as well as some assessments on specific keys. This is just based on the first picture I see, I didn't go over any of the expansion sets.This is a GMK set. The legends will be the ones from the GMK molds. Any changes—or even small tweaks—would require a new mold, which gets expensive. Another reason for using existing molds is compatibility with other GMK sets.
General:
1. Alphabet letters are too bold compared to other keys.
2. key [{, ]}, ;:, and '" are too close to the left.
Specifics:

I think a good point of reference are your typic MacBook keyboard keys and/or the command/control/shift keys. These look fine at first glance but they seem incoherent together after a closer look. Not sure if anyone else agrees, just my two cents.

You might take a look at KAT Refined. It was developed to address some of the typographical issues with GMK sets. And since KAT sets are dye-subbed PBT, you have a lot more freedom to dial in the legends exactly how you like without affecting the cost.
I’ll be in for KAT Refined when it drops, but definitely hyped for this set as well.
Updates? ;DGMK Minimal 2 - Launching August 2nd

So we got the keycaps GB running now. Whats the exciting item you were talking about?
This set is beautiful. And it has mono-legends. But no Colevrak. :(As a Colemak boi myself, I hear ya. But I've come to accept that for GMK and SA sets, designers have almost all stopped supporting Colevrak at this point. Certainly the "big name" designers have. Colevrak kits just don't hit MOQ.
Is there any GB thread yet?

does anyone know the timeline of this groupbuy. Just tryna see when to maybe expect this set to come in
