[IC] GMK WoB 40s, Colevrak+ and R0/R5 (GB live 23rd March!)
« on: Fri, 06 September 2019, 15:42:21 »
GB LIVE https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=105239.0

Introduction:

The current GMK White-on-Black sets available on Drop and Originative have great coverage, but still miss out on providing coverage for many different layouts. The idea behind these kits is to add some more compatibility options to this iconic set that aren't currently available, that we have been seeing in recent extension kits. The keycaps are CR with WS1 legends, matching with
GMK WoB of course.

When?

The GB will run from Monday 23rd March through to Friday 24th April, lasting roughly a month.

Vendors and Pricing:

EU: mykeyboard.eu

40s: 44 EUR
Colevrak+: 50 EUR
R0/R5: 54 EUR

NA: novelkeys.xyz

40s: 45 USD
Colevrak+: 52 USD
R0/R5: 55 USD

OCE: dailyclack.com

40s: 74 AUD
Colevrak+: 85 AUD
R0/R5: 90 AUD

CA: deskhero.ca

40s: 63 CAD
Colevrak+: 73 CAD
R0/R5: 77 CAD

Kits:

40s
The 40s+ kit aims to give coverage to as many different board layouts as possible not included in the original kit. This kit gives 40s, split and ergonomic boards compatibility as well as having 1.50 backspace for HHKB, and a 1.25 BoW tab to make GMK Minimal compatible with staggered 40s.



Colevrak+
This kit adds compatibility to many different typing layouts.


 
R0/R5 Compatibility
This kit adds R0 and R5 compatibility to GMK White-on-Black for a full cherry profile.




(full cherry profile; currently most kits have two sets of R1 and R4 instead of R0 and R5)

Renders courtesy of Abec13:
Keyboard: 45-ATS by Abec13

Keycaps: GMK Zhuyin with GMK WoB modifiers (R2 Esc, R2 Back, R3 Tab, R3 Enter, R4 Hyper from 40s)



Keycaps: GMK WoB (R2 Esc, R2 Back, R3 Tab, R3 Enter, R4 Hyper, R4 2.25u and 2.75u spacebars from 40s)






Keyboard: UD_40 by GOLDWORMS and mykeyboard.eu:

Keycaps: GMK WoB (R2 Esc, R2 Back, R3 Tab, R3 Enter, R4 2.75u and 1u spacebars from 40s)





To do:
- finalise kits
- commission renders
- contact vendors
- get a quote from GMK and finalise pricing
- set a GB date

Many thanks to:
- Abec13 for the stunning renders
- 40s discord and Abec for the help with the 40s kit
- David for putting up with my pestering questions
- MyKeyboard and NovelKeys for offering to be proxies for these kits
- Dvorcol for the help with the Colevrak+ kit

I'm kinda into this, but 2 questions:
  • is there a place to get GMK WoB? I missed the drop and
  • why do these addon sets have an extra B?

* You can wait for Massdrop to reopen their sale. Happens pretty much every month and remains open for a few days. Or you can get Originative's version of WoB, for sale at their site (albeit at a higher price).

* It's for the TGR Alice (a popular split ergonomic keyboard) and its clones.

In the IC form I requested possibly some of the newer Ortho keys found in GMK 9009 R2 and GMK Pulse. Also, I forgot to mention them, but the Tux, Windows, and OSX Cmd keys from GMK 9009 R2 would be great additions as well. Not totally necessary, however, since this already covered the base/minimum for Planck, which is good enough for me.

I was just talking about this the other day. Thanks so much for bringing this project.

Reply left to response forum:

I'm running into the same problem here as I am with the 40s kit on the Katakana set. I want to buy it to match it with some alphas but the bottom row would be miscolored. If your inentions are to make this like your ortho kit, you've got to add bottom row mods, maybe even some arrow keys.

No problem <3 The approach with this kit is a bit different - it's to make your WoB set (originative / drop) compatible for 40s (among other) boards. It's not a modifier kit like the N9 ortho one.

The Atreus family needs a pair of blank 1.5u keys. I believe this represents a fairly large chunk of 40% ergos.

It's icon mods instead of icon and text, but NovelKeys is currently running a 40's kit extension GB for WoB Hiragana.


https://novelkeys.xyz/collections/frontpage/products/gmk-wob-hiragana?variant=29012088881245


Looks like it ends tonight though! Not saying you shouldn't run this, but wanted to bring it up in case you weren't aware. A BoW or N9 40's extension would be cool too!

The problem with the GMK Hiragana 40s kit is it's all icons and so clashes with some of the keys from the GMK WoB set. Unless one pairs it with with icon keys from the Hiragana base set, it just won't be consistient, and at that point ya may as well forego the GMK WoB base set entirely.

will be updating the kit tomorrow probably with 1.75u convex spacebars instead of the current ones as it got confirmed that those moulds exist. also currently considering adding hangul b and a r4 1u modifier, along with possible 1.5u r2 esc for equinox (there will be a new poll for this).

You should message the guy trying to run the WoB Colevrak kit about running these together. He tried contacting the person running WoB Hiragana but they nvr got back to him.

I saw that the wob hiragana GB started yesterday. Was there any luck in getting this kit run at the same time?

No unfortunately I haven't heard anything from the GB runner :(

Oh ****! Please please please run this. Don't wait for my permission!


i guess it was the other way around and he didn't see it in time. the colevrak bois have been trying to get a responce from him but it looks like he isn't very active on here, this is his first and only ic. We all would greatly appreciate you including the kit when you run your kit. also the proposed kit in his ic is incomplete, the colevrak kit that ran with gmk pulse is what we're looking for. thank you in advance for your consideration.

unlikely to be any objections from the colevrak bois. colevrak+ is more expensive but it's also more inclusive making MOQ more manageable.

I don't really see the value in adding the 40s kit to the Colevrak kit, but I'm sure it'll help MOQ so I'll accept it.

Would like to see another color option presented, but that might make the price unobtainable for many.

L9/CR is a great option and is still running for a few more hours with 9009. BoW is also a good choice and should go well with a lot of sets.

Perhaps a poll could be added to see what most people prefer?

Differences between a Dvorak- & Colemak-only kit and recent Colevrak+ kits:
Show Image


I posted details of alternate layouts and what non-QWERTY keys each one uses in the WoB Colevrak IC: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=100325.msg2800882#msg2800882

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
thanks <3 i'll likely be adding those then unless there are any objections

unlikely to be any objections from the colevrak bois. colevrak+ is more expensive but it's also more inclusive making MOQ more manageable.

added  ;D

I don't really see the value in adding the 40s kit to the Colevrak kit, but I'm sure it'll help MOQ so I'll accept it.

Would like to see another color option presented, but that might make the price unobtainable for many.

L9/CR is a great option and is still running for a few more hours with 9009. BoW is also a good choice and should go well with a lot of sets.

Perhaps a poll could be added to see what most people prefer?

They won't be sold together as one kit. GMK offers a lower MOQ if both kits are ordered at the same time so it's beneficial for both the 40s and the colevrak kit. Basically the old person in charge of the colevrak kit is very inactive and unable to run this himself so i've been given permission to run it alongside my kit - win win  :thumb:

I'm in for sure, and would buy a BoW kit too if it was available!

The Colevrak+ kit is definitely the way to go, I'm a Colemak-DHm user, and I'm totally willing to pay a little bit more to make sure other people can get their compatibility too :)

+1 from another GMK WoB Colevrak refugee. I'll definitely be in for a kit.

I was interested in the 40s kit, but as a ColemakDH user, I want to take a minute to personally thank you for adding this to the GB. It's extra work that you didn't have to take on, that benefits a niche community, so as someone in that community, sincerely, "thank you."
Ortho. Always.

[IC] GMK WoB 40s and Colevrak+ Extension Kits

Well said. Now, I’m in for at least one of each.

What are the chances of getting a ‘fn’ key at row 3, 1.75u?

And/or ‘fn’ at row 3, 1.25u?

Hi all - thanks for the support. I just made a poll on the 40s kit asking about some possible keys to add to the set:

I know unlikely, but would love a BoW 40's kit to run along side this.
