[IC] GMK icon mods for various sets

[zennasyndroxx]

As far as I know, the icon mods are available on most vintage ISO boards. I still haven't seen any that comes with any ANSI boards.

Thinking of doing only mods with icon legends (no text)

What do you guys think?

Sure, why not? 

[zennasyndroxx]

Anyone interested in this?

[quochung1989]

Are there windowed caps?

[gojira54]

How about the home group of keys in symbols only? GMK have the molds, these didn't make the interest check a while back

[kokokoy]

Consider me interested. Got a set of vintage beige dyesubs I wouldn't mind adding some variation to.

[trenzafeeds]

I'd be in for a set of those for sure.

[zennasyndroxx]

I'm in the midst of getting the renders for the sets below:

Will update once I've get the renders from GMK.

Awesome!

For the HHKB keys, I'll add the 1u pipe and 1.5u backspace (R1 and R2 respectively) into the sets.

[romevi]

For the HHKB keys, I'll add the 1u pipe and 2u backspace (R1 and R2 respectively) into the sets.

That sounds fantastic, and I don't even use HHKB layouts yet!

EB is a very good mod set to emulate. The more I learn about custom keyboards, the more I realize how universal that set is.
Edit: The only thing I would change to EB is windowed (LED) Caps Lock/Ctrl stepped and unstepped keys. Otherwise, it's great!

U da man

I believe HHKB backspace is 1.5u, no?

I don't think this would need to be as large as EB since it wouldn't include Ctrl/Alt/Win/Arrows

I'm actually pretty interested in having the Ctrl/Alt/Win also. well, we'll see how it goes.

My bad, it's 1.5u. Checking my email to them again and yes, the 1.5u backspace is requested for render instead of 2u. i'm seeing too many 2's tonight  )

[ideus]

Any update?

[zennasyndroxx]

I've got the renders for black on beige, did some corrections and I'll have more renders soon

Please post them, I cannot wait to get these key caps.

[punkpc]

I would be interested in a classic beige set 

[justnits]

i'd be so interested! icon mods!!

[zennasyndroxx]

updated the op with renders

[romevi]

10/10 would buy.

[t8c]

Take my money. I have a sweet spot for the handbag caps lock!

[WNovizar]

I'm interested!! I'll buy one each!

[TalkingTree]

I'm interested, though a few things:
As stated, legendless mods belong to the ISO sets so it would be nice to have a few ISO keys such as:
1. Enter.
2. Left shift.
3. Alt Gr.

Since it's so close to a Moogle kit, it would be also nice to have R5 keys, R3 Control (stepped and full touch) and a R2 backspace with this icon.


One last thing. Are you sure GMK renders are correct? Those U9 keycaps look more like L9 to me.

[azhdar]

very interested in the classic beige and WoB one, it's missing altGr in 1.25 and 1.5 though.

[JulienC]

+1 to use the ⌫ icon for the R2 1.5u backspace.

[nickheller]

i personally prefer the icon shown in mockups for backspace

[madhias]

Just a question: the old Windows logo would be possible to produce today? Or is it because more people like the new Windows logo?

However, I'd be interested in a classic beige set.

[Prelim]

Dolch is missing or what? I'm asking because this was a MUST in all previous moogle kits GB!! 

also ISO caps are needed (shift 1.25u and enter)

[ideus]

I'll take one of each, hurry!

Wait...

I should take two of each, just in case.

[Bromono]

HHKB set and I am totally in

[ideus]

We, ISO users, are a minority in the keyboard community, I changed to ANSI and now everything is great, I am not asking for particularities anymore; however, I am not recommending you to change, but your life would be far easier, in any case, the addition of that conspicuous inverted L enter key may add too much dollars for an otherwise super efficient and low cost set that only has the exact key caps to make most ANSI users happy, even the happy layout users, so, even if I may like to have an ISO enter included, I'd prefer to get these nice sets at a good price, in the benefit of the majority here, the common good, is the best good.

[chilldude_22]

A few thoughts, if you're interested in hearing them
-I would simplify it even further. I don't think Alt/Ctrl/Win/Menu are needed.
-I'm fairly indifferent, but it seems like a lot of people prefer the other backspace icon.

Other than those, this looks awesome. I'm all in.

EDIT: Come to think of it, Esc and `~ seem unnecessary. I guess it all depends what you're trying to do with the set. If you're simply trying to make a replacement/fit kit for vintage sets that don't have icon mods or only have ISO mods, I would take them out.

[Prelim]

@ideus, 2 caps wont make any difference man!

[TalkingTree]

I don't think Alt/Ctrl/Win/Menu are needed.

You have a point here.

Removing those keys would drop the price enough to add both backspace alternatives.

[ideus]

@ideus, 2 caps wont make any difference man!

ISO Enter is more expensive than the other smaller keys, but that is up to the GB leader, so let him be the one making the decision, I do not mind paying for something I would not have an immediate use for, as long as the set has the keys that I need.

[ATXTider]

I'm down!  Any chance we could also but spacebars too, like Ivan ran with Miami Nights?  That way, we  can complete OG sets for WK boards!

[Ail]

Sign me up for a WoB kit.

[zennasyndroxx]

it seems that there's people with some ISO love here

Maybe we'll just get the ISO to be run separately?

and I'll get more info from GMK about the other backspace icon for 1.5u backspace. the color should be correct for beige

let's not rush into things since there's a lot of GMK IC going on here. And will request for more colors too!

Hopefully this GB will start on Q2-Q3

[JaccoW]

Interested

[TalkingTree]

If you do, please consider AltGr as well.

Define the proper timing, count me in at any time, these sets would make many old OG and other not so old key sets to have the best companion in the form of great modifiers set to mix and match, the separately ISO mini sets would be a great addition, as others wrote, Alt Gr in 1.25u and 1.5u would be handy, as well.

[xondat]

Just stick with icon mods and leave out ISO, I feel like that is a different pool of people.
