Title: [IC] GMK Minimal 2 - Launching August 2nd
Post by: janglad on Sat, 11 April 2020, 19:26:55
Hey everyone!

(https://i.imgur.com/MCMOxPj.jpg)

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, better than ever! GMK Minimal 2 keeps all the things that made GMK Minimal great while adding new options we think you'll love!

Join the GB here (https://dixiemech.com/gmk-minimal-2)

Link to GB thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=107868.0)


Design

(https://i.imgur.com/ChNV7CE.jpg)

GMK Minimal 2 keeps all that elements that made GMK Minimal so popular: modern text mods, a clean black on white colourway and affordable kit design. The white used is a perfect balance between the very bright WS2 and "old school" beige of CP, it also makes for a perfect matching to e-white boards! In addition to this we’ve also added the option for some alternate accents and used the new centred arrows to keep consistent with the centred text mods, more of which below!

Kit design

Standard

(https://i.imgur.com/FCN8ZMK.jpg)

This is the bread and butter of any GMK set. The standard kits has compatibility for the all the most popular layouts in the community.

Numbers

(https://i.imgur.com/Xt4sJby.jpg)

Numbers adds compatibility for layouts with a numpad. It also includes the keys needed to outfit a 1800 style layout.

Addition

(https://i.imgur.com/C4UIuTV.jpg)

Addition adds options for a OS modified bottom row, 60%s with  arrows through the 2u shift, 660 layouts with the extra 2.25u shift, full ISO UK support and some options for different legends in the 65% and caps lock area.

Obscure

(https://i.imgur.com/w0WvNrE.jpg)

Obscure adds support for a wide variety of 40% keyboards, including ortholinear ones and Minivan type layouts. Included are the necessary modifiers and spacebars ranging from 1u to 3u. This kit also includes a second b key and the needed spacebars for split/ergonomic keyboards like the TGR Alice.

Command

(https://i.imgur.com/jExk3Hp.jpg)

Command is aimed at Mac users by adding correct legends for Command and Option keys.


Alternate

(https://i.imgur.com/JQR5kKH.jpg)

People have always loved adding accents to GMK Minimal, so this time around we decided to offer them right in the GB! The alternate kit includes a fresh take on the classic RGB mods, a Dixie X and OG style arrows.

Mono

(https://i.imgur.com/JWpUmwh.jpg)

For those of you who really want to take the minimal theme to the ultimate level. As the name suggest mono strips all secondary legends from the keys giving your board a very appealing clean look.

Norde

(https://i.imgur.com/S34NWgl.jpg)

This kit adds compatibility for ISO NO, SE, FL, DK, DE layouts. The kits includes a 125u Shift and ISO Enter meaning this is a one stop shop for all things Norde!

The group buy

GMK Minimal will be sold from August 2nd until September 2nd through these vendors


Pricing will be announced later! ;)

Accessories

We got some really cool addons coming, keep an eye out!

Same white as Minimal, not as "aggressive" of a white as bleached.

Correct!

Thank you Janglad, Ryan/Quaddepo.

It's great to see you are responding to the market demand by increasing supply.

And your timing in response to Hennessey is perfect, whether coincidental or not, because people can avoid the extra expense of purchasing an alternative product when they would have preferred Minimal. The market is large enough to accommodate multiple BOW sets as we are seeing.

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?  :(

Between Bleached, Hennessey, and the infamous troll of Just-Call-It-BoW, and to a lesser extent GMK Redacted, ePBT Spectrum, ePBT Musician, and the Infinikey BoW that ran 4 months ago, there's just a lot of BoW going on right now.

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...

People who use both ISO and accents will be a small subset. ISO keys aren't cheap especially in a smaller kit. I know we ended up adding them in for Modern Dolch Light but that was 1 vs 3 keys. Either way as always, fill in the form as we go through all feedback :)

It'd be nice to have R3 \| in Addition or, at least, Norde.

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. Same thing as always tho, fill out the form and we'll see :)

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.

Is this still the same colours as Minimal R1, so it will be compatible with icon modifiers?

inb4 all sets run through him you have to include that x key.

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!

I'm sure he will be in here and let you know the designer totally and specifically  requested it like with gmk Burgundy 😂😂😂😂

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 :)

ne text + icon mod kit available?

ne text + icon mod kit available?

+1 always, always text + icons. centred arrow keys, i'm shaking. Besides all that Where's Taeha and his announcement for GMK Mr.Sleeves R2?

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.

please consider text + icons as an extra kit anyways, due to the nature of how popular minimal is as a GMK set it will surely hit MOQ. we've had 5+ white or white-ish (i'm counting metaverse and monochrome and even stormtrooper!) sets but somehow none of them have featured text + icon mods and my crops are drying up.

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. 😇

:D

Don't worry, the Khers novelty will be included for free too, the kit itself will just have a higher margin and I'll take it out of my own pocket to pay it off. :)

Jokes aside, I get it, but it wasn't mentioned that it was free until I raised the concern (well, someone did before me).

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?

For the records, I like Janglad as a person and think that he makes great sets. There's no "drama" on my end towards him. :)

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.

On a different note, AltGr keys should be added to the Norde kit. Form filled out accordingly.

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.

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.

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.

The question isn't phrased well in that case. I voted no exactly because I want them to switch places.

“If you selected Alternate, would you use the OG style arrows?” — No, because I want the arrows in Alternate to be centered, because I want them as an add-on for my R1 set.

Too bad I had to be the initial person to suggest this, Dixie and janglad have too much pride to take anything I say into consideration. Sorry everyone.
I like them the way there are currently also. I think if you learned how to express opinions/suggestions in a polite way it might cause you a lot less trouble in life and also make people more likely to accept your opinion... if that is truly your goal and not just to cause trouble.

I mean, Dixie and janglad can do what ever they want?

Whether you like em or not, you buy the base kit and the alternate kit, buy it off r/mm, or you don't at all.

No point in shaming both Dixie, janglad, or any others that like it for liking something.

OG arrows in the base set make much more sense to me for the many reasons stated by others earlier, and please do not cite the IC form as evidence against that decision because the question asked is not relevant to that discussion. 

Also, I know someone else mentioned that the green accents may look better with a black legend, but I'd like to go one step further and say that I think that all of the accents would look better with black legends. I feel like this would be more cohesive with the rest of the set since everything would then be black on ___ and be of similar contrast.

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.

would absolutely love accented spacebars here. i know it would add quite a lot to the cost but... this is minimall, after all.

Don't feel too important now Emir /s

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.

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.

FWIW I don't like "dixie mods" and I express this dislike by not buying sets that use them, instead of throwing a tantrum in the IC.

Just by looking at the base kit I didn't even notice the change at first. Personally I wont be getting an accent kit since the arrow alignment and accent keys aren't very important to me.

I actually like the new arrows but since I already have a R1 minimal set, I won’t be getting them. Kind of disappointing that the only way to get them would be to buy a full new base kit. I agree with the sentiment that the OG arrows should be moved to the base and new arrows in the extensions.

Post by: konstantin on Wed, 15 April 2020, 10:30:38
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 on 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.

Some of us grew up with the OG Cherry keyboards that used the older legends. It's a nice throwback to continue using them (ie one of the allures of GMK), though I personally won't boycott a set that uses the newer ones if I like the set enough; ie I bought MoDo Light.

The only thing issue I see for people who have R1 is that if they want to get the new arrows in addition to their first set they will have to buy the whole base kit, or go out of their way to find someone who doesn't care much about it and is willing to trade arrows. That's the only thing that doesn't make much sense to me. Other than that I'm glad to see this set out for people who missed out on R1 and not having to pay outrageous prices. Accent colors are a little too bright imo.

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.

Please reconsider adding an option for an Icon mod kit. I think it'd look great with this set. Black esc and enter keys would be cool too if you're willing to modify the accent kit.

Ahh I love the base kit so much, those accents are just so bright and I think the colors would clash with other colors. They remind me of candy wrappers. I wish the colors were either monochrome or a bit more tasteful (like modo accents, something not so starburst-y).

I see that the specific colour code isn't referenced in the OP, but the original Minimal ran with WS1 and CR so I imagine that won't change.

I know there aren't unlegended novelties in this, but it'd be nice to have something as a 1u R3 other than "escape" and "tab" for ortho users. Without it, preonic folks are basically forced to have two escapes or two tabs on the left side (or ~ ESC tab, which is just terrible)

An unlegended novelty would be ideal so it can be whatever key you want, but a CTRL or FN (there's a non-1u FN there already) would be dope.

Thanks guys.  I also asked Rama and he said WS2 would be closer to U80-A Milk Because it is a cooler-toned white.

I know they are really not the same, but kinda hoping the GB for this is spaced out after Dixie Mech's GMK [Redacted] GB… since I want both of these sets lol

It varies a bit from one e-white finish to the next, but in my experience e-white is generally somewhere in between WS1 and WS2 in terms of color temperature.

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  :D

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!

(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!

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.

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.

Indeed. Here's a list of all ortho keys that this key (e.g. Code) could cover for:
Some of these keys are more commonly used (source (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102205.msg2806656#msg2806656)) than R3 1u Tab, which is currently the only key included.

Additionally, R3 1u Code would also cover some obscure 65% layouts (e.g. Uniqey C70) in which it's used, complementing the idea of the kit.

Therefore, the addition of this key would be beneficial for several reasons.

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!

Keyset group buys (with some rare exceptions) are always unlimited. No need to fret

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:

I'd personally prefer ISO UK being moved to either the NorDe or base kit, but that probably won't happen. Addition is just a very unattractive kit price-wise for all keys except ISO UK.

Also, praying for a return of the RAMA caps.

It's always unlimited for keycap sets (normally).

I'm a bit new to the scene, so I'm not entirely sure how this works. But is it too late for a Canadian proxy? I know a few others have asked it one might be possible, I'd like to add myself to the list of those interested in one.

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.

+1 Same here. That would be great.

+1 Please in for 5 sets  ;D

It's not just you. As a software developer who uses that key frequently, it looks so wrong. I'd join in this GB if they could offer a regular-sized tilde legend in the base set or one of the add-ons or something.

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.

General:

1. Alphabet letters are too bold compared to other keys.
2. key [{, ]}, ;:, and '" are too close to the left.

Specifics:
[attachimg=1]

I think a good point of reference are your typic MacBook keyboard keys in terms of size and boldness and the command/control/shift keys in terms of position. 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.

Wow I never realized that until you mentioned it by now I can't unsee it.

The ~ key seems to be 20% bigger than all the other keys on all my sets so this most likely means it is a standard mold, most likely will have to create a new mold if we want to create a more uniform tilde key

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.
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.

I don't remember which set it was, but there have been efforts to improve some of minor legend issues which exist in GMK molds.  So, it's not unprecedented, though it does seem kinda late in this IC for that to happen.

I suppose he meant the RAMA, but I'm personally not a fan of it.
Wish they had the X one but reversed, so it's BoW. And the rest... they're alright I guess.. Not my cup of tea. The basic shapes and basic RGB colors are really boring and mundane. Grabbing the base kit and spacebars though.

Hopefully I'm wrong and there's something else to be revealed.  :p

It’s a pitty I have to buy the addition to have the iso enter.
I work with both layouts iso and ANSI but want to put the keycaps on both.
Have to look for something else but I like the set.

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.

If you want Colevrak support, KAT sets are going to be your best best. I really like Minimal 2 and will probably be getting it. But if colevrak is mandatory, maybe KAT Refined? Macsurfy said in comments that colevrak's done, just not uploaded yet.

Okay so I am a bit confused. Does the base kit have the 1.75u right shift? I think I am blind because I really can't tell.

EDIT: I had to go to the Chinese proxy, ZFrontier, for more info. Turns out the base kit does have the 1.75 shift. Obscure kit only has the 2u Shift and 2.25u Shift
