[IC] GMK SKIDATA+ (GB IS LIVE)

[heedpantsnow]

Not sure what does this mean... You mean 60% non standard bottom row?

Hmm, might be interested if there's 60% support.

Hello sir what I meant is most of the 60s that I know about use 1.25x bottom rows with one of them usually a Fn (in place of the menu key typically). So adding a 1.25 blank or Fn or some logo or something would support all of those boards.

This will be covered, as Fn is already included in the HHKB support keys.

Cool.

Def interested in more GMK goodness and love the black/orange scheme.

[romevi]

I'm intredasted in a set.

[shimmy1996]

Definitely interested 

[mason]

I'm interested 

[Giorgio]

At this moment the geekhack logo is skidata. This is brainwashing!

[zhihuichan]

Supporting 1800 and 75%? I'm in!

[Oobly]

Any chance for an inverse alphas pack (Grey on Orange alphas, like an inverse Nostalgia set)?

I really like the colourway on this, but would like more separation of the alphanumeric and mods areas.

I also support KHAANNN's suggestion for an extra pair of homing keys with bumps instead of scoops.

As do I. I would most likely only buy if we had a bump homing option.

Seriously, this. How do people type with scoops instead of bumps?

[KHAANNN]

good, good, good, our future is bumpy :)

bumped keys also look better than the scoops

[swimmingbird]

KHAAAAAAAAAN!

I still want the scoops!

[KHAANNN]

KHAAAAAAAAAN!

I still want the scoops!

I will send you a pair of dolch flats :)

[sethk_]

I vote lines over bumps for alternate homing.

[trenzafeeds]

I vote lines over bumps for alternate homing.

Ok, if people are asking for lines then I'll happily jump on the line train!

Gateron has the best idea, scoops + lines, but after that I like scoops the most, then lines, then bumps. I still want scoops to be in there, because that is what the OG set has, but if there has to be an alternate, I would vote for lines.

[KHAANNN]

The terminology also seems to be mixed, at least I'm mixing it, I don't think GMK has the bumps on ABS's, we probably all mean bump == line in this context

I have some OG cherry w/ nipples.

[whentheclouds]

I have some OG cherry w/ nipples.

directly in the center of the cap?

[romevi]

Most likely, a la "5" on the numpad.

yep, also on f & j

Oh, I have some boards that have the bump on F & J but the nipple on 5, which is most common for me. Weird.

[Oobly]

Oh, by "bumps" I meant lines, not dots.

Anyone else like the idea of Orange alphas?

[jdcarpe]

Oh, by "bumps" I meant lines, not dots.

Anyone else like the idea of Orange alphas?

Yes, orange alphas with white legends...

[ImpendingxDoom]

Then we can call the whole set "Burnt Creamsicle"...

Would the keyset be priced to beat buying a whole skidata board?

It is difficult to directly compare the base set with the Skidata keyboard because they are two different things. After shipping, the keyboard will be very expensive.

The benefit of buying the keyboard is that you get switches in addition to the keycaps, but it is ISO only, and it's not so cost effective after shipping fees.

The SKIDATA+ base set will support ANSI, 75%, 60%, HHKB, and other layouts. The original Skidata does not support any of those layouts mentioned above and only comes in ISO.

Would you consider having a set of 1.5u blanks for Ergodox users? It would only be one extra key...

[rsadek]

I must have it.

Interested +10X. My poor wallet....time to go sell some blood.

I also want some orange modifiers, doesn't matter how I get it, I'm going to purchase any set for an orange tab

Also, no one is trying to take away scoops, we're merely requesting additional homing keys

Are you opposing the idea?

[romevi]

I want some fries with it.

[sethk_]

As far as extra homing keys, what about doing it on an accent color like Ivan did in Dolch?

[Karura]

Just wanted to clear some things up:

I am not aware if GMK is able to make scoops + dash keys; this will have to be looked into, but conventionally, it is not popular and the original Skidata came with scoops only. Perhaps this could be added to a modpack, if it is financially feasible.

As much as I would love to offer many different colourways, such as the suggested burnt orangesicle, and some other suggestions, this is going to stay true to Skidata, as I know many people have been waiting for a long time for the opportunity to finally get a complete GMK Skidata keyset.

[hwood34]

It's skidata, not orangesicle. You want orangesicle? Go make another thread

Discussion is always welcome! That said, this buy will only contain Skidata colourways, I hope people can respect that. No need for any mads.

I'm just not sure why someone would even need to suggest turning this into what would be basically an entirely different set

I love Skidata colorway, but I bought Charred Orange long ago.

So why are you here? This is for all the people that actually want Skidata, not to accommodate the people that already have a similar colorway and want their own set done

So why are you here?

Apparently to annoy you.

And to support Karura's buy, if only morally.

And since you don't seem to get it, hwood, I mentioned the white on orange because I would love to see it run in another buy. Not this one. People were throwing out ideas about orange.

How do you know the orange was discovered before the carrot? Because it's called an orange.

Orange you the clever one?

[SpAmRaY]

So will this basically look like charred orange? I really didn't care for it, I wished the orange would have stood out more.

[sethk_]

No, it will be a brighter orange. I like to think of Charred Orange as a mistake. The color is dull, doesn't pop at all, compared to Skidata where it pops nicely, and the Charred Orange legends appear translucent. If my description isn't detailed enough Karura has a post w/ some more info.
