Hey everyone, please view on a computer screen, not your phone. Many phone displays these days are AMOLED which boost contrast and makes this appear much darker. :)Looks black to me.
In b4 "looks black to me"
Wish some of these sets were in the reverse dye pbt like Hive. It's hard to justify paying prices for sets that will shine in 4/5 months. Regardless of how beautiful this is.To each their own - I like the way the shine develops on ABS.
Just makes them unsellable honestly. Maybe if they shined equally. But no one is going to sell/trade for some heavily worn wasd keys. Haha. I just don't get shine love. But maybe I never will :DWish some of these sets were in the reverse dye pbt like Hive. It's hard to justify paying prices for sets that will shine in 4/5 months.

I don't game, so they wear relatively evenly via typing. Shift and space get the most shine on them. But you're right, they'll never wear evenly. Part of the 'patina' of a keyboard for me. Though, I also don't intend to resell them.Just makes them unsellable honestly. Maybe if they shined equally. But no one is going to sell/trade for some heavily worn wasd keys. Haha.

Or heck. Give me a way to evenly shine a board.you can manually sand and polish keycaps to make them all evenly shiny and smooth, some guy on r/customkeyboards did it and it looks pretty damn good imo
Could you add two 1.5u Code and two 1u Alt keys to the base for tsangan compat for users the prefer GUI next to the spacebar? Similar to what GMK Wavez did.

Have you done it? I've thought of trying it for 3D printer. You risk melting them though. Would be scared to do it with my keycaps. HahaOr heck. Give me a way to evenly shine a board.
Three words: acetone vapor polishing

Love the concept. I think it would actually go nicely with a white case. Would appreciate a render for that :)Would also love a grey case render! Black is probably the most difficult option to actually see the keys, haha.
For now I'm keeping the basic 40s support but I'm considering getting rid of it.pls no
Thanks again for all the kind words and feedback.
Based on the feedback I've received, I've made a couple changes to the base kit:
- kept the same ISO support but changed the legends
- added 2x 1.5u code and 1x 1u alt (1 of the alts was already there)
Thanks again for all the kind words and feedback.

How can I put this delicately?
I like the Pantone you picked. Two suggestions for the base kit:
- Add R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn. These are popular options for the right column on 65% and 75% boards.
- Change R3 1u #~ to \|. If you add full ISO-UK support, #~ is fine, but otherwise stick to \|.
Haven't posted on this forum in probably years. This the first thing I'm 100% in on in a long time. Beautiful
Looks REALLY good!
Really like the Mood this gives to me!

This ⇑ definitely reminiscent of those levels, I dig it! Seconded on the accented arrows also.
I'm very conflicted on this. I personally prefer \| as the R3 legend but when I asked around it seemed more people preferred two different legends.
As for the PgUp and PgDn keys, I'll probably pass on those. The base kit is already fairly big and it's already pretty standard compatibility for 65% and 75% boards.

If having different legends is why you opted to go with the out-of-place #~, then just have \| on R3 and <> on R4. This is one of the standard options for US ISO.As for the PgUp and PgDn keys, I'll probably pass on those. The base kit is already fairly big and it's already pretty standard compatibility for 65% and 75% boards.
Keep in mind that most new sets (incomplete list here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102663.msg2815955#msg2815955)) opt to include these keys, while less than half of them include 2× 1.5u Code and an extra 1u Alt like you have here.

I would love to see renders of this set on E white or PC. Just for the sake of visualization. Probably not a good idea to render a deep blue set on a deep blue background (albeit looks real nice though)I second this. I'd even take on black.

Could we get some kind of color comparison with the Rudy blue? I know they're similar, but I want to see just how similar they are before I decide whether to join this.
yesSeconded. As an aside, I think this would look great with the blue constellation. Need that render, haha.
so potential for a 40s kit separate?
What's up with the R4 <>-key when there are already the two separate < and > keys in R4?
Shouldn't the R3 \|-key be in R4 and keys for @, and #~ be in R3 for basic ISO(-UK) support?
At least that's what most base kits provide for basic ISO support if I'm not mistaken.
I like this, works for my layouts.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/eyOKVZJ.png)

You're mixing up the national layouts English (USA) terminal style and English (UK). See http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/Why-Do-Keycap-Sets-have-so-many-Copies-of-the-Backslash-Pipe-Key/#row4yes for a good explanation of what goes in the "ISO R4" key.
so potential for a 40s kit separate?
There are 3 ways this receives 40s support:
- more interest, meaning I'm more comfortable having a less popular child kit with this
- a vendor coming on board that wants a 40s kit and is happy to buy it out
- 40s being incorporated into the base (à la Finer Things)
The reason I'm not doing the last one is because I don't think that there is enough 40s love to justify everyone else having to spend more to have that many redundant keys in the base. Then again, I may be wrong. But this is how it's looking right now.

Next, I've made a couple revisions to the kit based on feedback I've received. For now, no 40s in base because I'd rather have full support than something very minimal. This kit design isn't by any means final but it's what I'm considering doing right now - of course this could change with what a vendor wants to run.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/eyOKVZJ.png)

Good updates. A few more things for your consideration, though not a must by any means: R4 numpad 00, R1 numpad =, System and Sys instead of Code (cause, let's be honest, Code makes no sense).

I’d be all for a separate 40s child kit

well at least it looks like ill be saving some money then lol
is separating out numpad a consideration? would be very interested if base kit was more stripped down
I have the other perspective on numpad support. Would be more likely to purchase a comprehensive base kit than spend on several child kits. Maybe like Burgundy R3.
Super intrested!
Hi guys, just a quick update:
I know this is potentially a long way off, but I got 3 vendors to work with me on this project:
EU: mykeyboard.eu
OCE: dailyclack.com
CA: deskhero.ca
Still looking for a North American vendor, so do send me a message if you're interested (more active on discord, *tom#1646).

SA Deep Navy is very interesting to me. Where can I follow along for details aside from the GH thread?
Yes. I’d be stoked for a small run in the very near future.
- changed 'code' to 'super'
Any chance of macOS keycaps subset like this one from Nautilus?
Been a bit - just checking in. This kit looks spectacular, would love to see it produced.
Color looks amazing.
I'm reducing gmk buys until they actually deliver haha. But this is the one I'll still buy in to.
This is looking really great
Love the dark blue.
Looking forward to this one :)
Love it. Instabuy for me.
Would love to pair this with an Aegis Navy Constellation if you're still considering SA Deep Navy. Any news there?Haha. Was thinking same thing. Would look real good. Dunno about SA though. Really hope it's GMK first.

Yeah. I mean if this delivers and looks great and photographs well (for all that reddit eye candy), I'm sure it'll end up arriving in different profiles eventually.Would love to pair this with an Aegis Navy Constellation if you're still considering SA Deep Navy.

Yeah, right?! Should be a great pairing!
I'm primarily interested in SA although I know I'm in the minority. Just remembering that ttom openly thought aloud about an SA run.
Hmm. Could just be the photo. But I expected it to be darker. Like close to black. Realise a lot of it is renders but I feel like the blue of Kat Atlantis was more deep navy than those.
And excuse my naivety but are those slight shades of ws1? Cause ws1 was one of the reasons I found this set interesting. To match mods and alphas with other ws1 sets.
Ok. Sounds great! I trust yah. I know what your going for so it should be awesome!Hmm. Could just be the photo. But I expected it to be darker. Like close to black. Realise a lot of it is renders but I feel like the blue of Kat Atlantis was more deep navy than those.

I’ll make sure it is just right for the GMK run, and will soon be ordering a colour chip for this purpose. Those are SP ABS chips, and the whites are just the three closest shades of white to WS1 that I saw when previewing the colours on their web page, so I ordered them. Also, the picture isn’t very colour accurate and makes the chips looks a whole lot warmer than they do in reality.
For GMK I’ll be doing a lot of colour sampling to make sure I have the perfect shade matching the renders so no need to worry about that, and the WS1 will stay as it is.
I think as dark as possible for the navy is where this set will really shine.I think so too - I didn’t mean to give any wrong ideas with those colour chips. They were the darkest blue offerings SP had for SA so that’s what I ordered. As I said, I’ll stay true to the renders for GMK, and will do extensive colour matching if needed to make sure it’s the exact colour I intended it to be.
Also are icon mods already decided upon? Are text+icons or just text possible if there's interest?
After the last update, the base kit is pretty much looking perfect. Good job.
Looks great! Any chance for artisan collabs? I also really want a brass rama cap.Should have more news on this relatively soon!
Thanks for the update! Is it possible to have this ship out in the old gmk tray or has everything switched to the new square foam box? I'm not a huge fan of the new box.
as someone already said this, I'm also NOT buying any sets this year, EXCEPT this one :) can't wait... will be buying both kits.
I know the new trays looked meh on Nathan's stream but I was under the impression that they were still tweaking them. They'll likely be better before these deliver.
I got Rudy with Dark Horse Alphas for this look. Maybe I need both :)
Happy to announce we've teamed up with RAMA to produce an artisan keycap for this set!
It's anodised aluminium matched to Pantone 282 C with white enamel infill. Prices for this and the kits should be up in a day or two, just waiting for it all to be finalised :pShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/VexowN7.png)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/cECeBv1.png)

You need both of those and belafonte for the early 2021 blue key bathroom photo
Really love this color set! Is it too late to request a white alpha kit similar to the enter key with it? I think it would really complement nicely with the dark exterior.

Excited for this GB! I know you're leaning towards not adding accented arrow keys, but maybe as a stretch goal or something? After reaching an amount past MOQ or w/e.
so hyped for this GB. This has got to be my favorite GMK set so far! Great work!
I mean can we just tie this up.

After reaching an amount past MOQ or w/e.I'm not really a fan of accent arrows and the current kitting won't have them, but I guess I could try adding them if we reached a higher MOQ than what this is priced at. No promises on something like that right now though - that's something for later.
Accent arrows suit the Sat75 and Evolv type layouts with accented spacebars and knobs to match. On other boards they are harder to fit in.

I'm a fan of accent ESC + Arrows on 65% boards without the accented Enter key. It's all just personal preference in the end tho.
ok,pass,no zf,no ilumkb
Would it be a good idea to change out the icon modifiers in regards of the reported QC issues on WoB extension?
Icons won't be changing here. There are a least a dozen GMK sets getting produced before this with icons so if it wasn't an isolated incident with WoB/BoW (which I suspect it was) I'm hoping it'll be fixed by then.

It also happened with WoB Hiragana, fyi. But yeah, not jumping to conclusions is the right thing to do.
Please make this happen. I made this account just for this.
So excited for this. Really tempted to get this as my first set, just need a good board to go with it

Love this set, sadly there is no Norde keyset :(Though this is something I would’ve liked to include it wouldn’t have been feasible. I think physical ISO is a must, however it’s unfair to favour one type of European layout over an other beyond that.
Since there will be no Norde set i Will specifically buy minimall norde set to combine. Will possibly screw with the looks with a chance of being uniqe at least haha

So ready for this set... can't wait to match it with Savage65 later this month. TBH the price for the full base set sealed the deal for me... can't wait!
I haven't bought a keycap set since GMK Space Cadet's GB but I am 100% all in on this. Thinking the Space Cadet alphas might look good with the Deep Navy mods as well. All will pair well with my future blue 7V...
