[IC] GMK modifier set or full set. Update: Suspended.

[radio_killah]

Looking for interest in running a GMK buy based of this color palette. Could be either a small mod set or a full set of keys.



I am also thinking of making this a more focused group buy and having just 60% and TKL compatibility. I would probably only include tsangan kit keys as well.

That would make it cheaper but less compatible.


Update 2/1/2016
Initial renders from GMK. I just used the RGBYK set of keys as a model. The keys are still subject to change.

[Jokrik]

Oh yes...
that is so soft....

Sifo will be all over this

and for everyone, this guy made GMK RGB happened last year! support if you like with no doubt

[darkclone24]

Dedicated 75% keys would be nice, but a TKL modkit covers them well enough imo if you want to skip them.

I'll be in!

[Sent]

You already know how I feel about this.

[TalkingTree]

I'd be interested in an orange (V2) mod kit with white (UN0001) legends.
Something like billnye's Electric Bluegaloo.

[terminallytrill]

Those would look great as mods on a ton of sets. I like that idea.

[xondat]

Down for a modifier set.

[FoC_Tow]

oooooouuuuuhhhh! Ö_Ö

Those Colors... 

Down for a modifier set.

[lolpes]

With these colors I also agree that a mod set is in order or maybe just some alfas kit + mod kit separated so pleople can mix and match and keep the price down

[appleonama]

It'd be nice to have a more interesting color pallet full set. You see them do it for SA and DSA profiles. Isn't it time gmk cherry profile gets something much different

[LXXXIX]

Oh yes...

Not enough blue doe Sifo though.

Interesting idea Though.

[bazh]

Purple all in!

[mobbo]

Please count me in! This would be a killer mod set.

[azhdar]

As long as it is black legends and have Alt I'm in (for a mod pack).

[Steezus]

Count me in! I really am liking this color palette.

[roostrc0gburn]

just came here from the bluegaloo thread. sounds like there is significant amount of interest in these mods as well (3B)

[Krytone]

I'm in. Need to have more colors for my boards

[radio_killah]

So it seems people like the color scheme. But what would you guys rather buy? An accent key pack, a full mod set (like bluegaloo), a reduced set (60%+TKL), or a full set (with some, not full, compatibility)?

Full mod set.

[raymogi]

Yes please. I'm interested in those colors.

Full mod set also.

[roostrc0gburn]

Yup. Full mod set. I'd take one of each. 3B also if that ball ever gets rolling...

[Jumie]

in.. make it happen..

[Glenmael]

Full mod set here 

[Bromono]

Yeah I would grab a set for sure.

Also would possibly like to see a julycicle scheme.

With those juicy looking colors!

[joey]

I'd like to see the mock ups!

radio_killah any idea how you'd do the payments?

[Skuloth]

I'd love to see some mock ups if you've made any.

Full mod set would be nice, but I'd also like to see a full set or even something spicy with 40% support.

[SJHL]

Different colors.. I'm interested!

[qwack]

Full mod set (ala Electric Bluegaloo) in purple sounds great!

[radio_killah]

I'd like to see the mock ups!

radio_killah any idea how you'd do the payments?

I will probably just run it through massdrop to simplify things. I plan on using just their standard colors so the MOQ should be the regular 250.

[Prelim]

custom colors + GMK = not good situation

Same, I like the colors but I can't picture them in my head with any sets

I'm guessing white or black legends?

V2 cap with UN0001 legends but not on Massdrop please.

[Geroximo]

I need a GMK modifier set in my life.
Wasn't really statisfied with the Bluelagoo colorway - too bright, too much "in your face" blue.
If this is going to be a more classic, more subtle color scheme count me in for one or two sets.

[radio_killah]

I'm still just gathering interest. I just chose a color pallette I liked and I want to see if people are interested. I still haven't decided which router to go yet. I am reading all the feedback though. As I get more interest and comments I'll be able to narrow it down though.

Yeah I thought they did a really good job with it as well. I just nee to coordinate everything with them and hand it to GMK as that worked really well. But I do think I will use Massdrop to run the drop once I get everything set up. It is much easier in my opinion.

[Brammm87]

Definitely full set. While the colors are gorgeous, I don't know how well they might match with people's existing sets.

I vote for OS-agnostic modifiers. Personally dislike windows keys.

I'd be in for a sixty set, I really feel bad about all those key pad, central nine cluster and function keys that are left spare always, because I only use 60% keyboards.

[radio_killah]

Maybe a mod could help me make a poll in this thread and we could hold a vote for what size pack we want? It seems like the consensus is that everyone likes the purple, orange, and pink idea. It seems still split between white or black legends, with a slight lean towards black.

I think ideally I want to make a mod pack sort of like my RGBYK but with a bit less compatibility to reduce costs. I think a light weight pack might appeal more. Also I do want to include an enter, arrow keys, and an escape key.

Edit: also just realized I might already have something like the color palette I posted. Not that it matters, but I was just browsing my own photos and saw that it was similar.

[TalkingTree]

what size pack we want?

Billkit's size.

[Nask]

Why not doing only icons, like the OTD Red Alert / Cherry original ?
Btw, love this color scheme... but font has to match it perfectly.

+1 for some odd sizes that could fit a Whitefox

[Karura]

I'm a big fan of the colour combination, but was curious, which exact keys are we going to be using, if not following the RGBYK template closely?

Thanks Hoff! I will send you a quick pm when I get a chance.

[radio_killah]

Just sent an email about getting some mock ups. I went back through the thread and reread everything. I think the best course of action is to do a small accent pack. I initially asked for the same layout of keys as in RGBYK but I may change somethings up.

I kind of want to add more accent keys, i.e. enter keys and arrows.

[azhdar]

Colored arrow keys with black legends would be interesting, beside the one on EK, I don't there's any other black legends gmk arrows avalaible.

are the legends limited only to B&W colors? Is there a possibility of colored legends too? Im not sure whats good though but just thinking of other possibilities this set can have vs to the existing rgb and cmy packs.

I know this is weird, but I would LOVE a full set of function keys, instead of just half like usual.

Neutral colors will match with existing sets better than others, keep it simple.

Awesome! I can't wait to see what the GMK renders will look like. I think having around the same amount of caps as RGBK is a solid idea.

I'd be interested in an orange (V2) mod kit with white (UN0001) legends.
Something like billnye's Electric Bluegaloo.

Why not the dark beige that is used in OG beige sets for modifiers?

[mimalik]

I will take orange and purple (pref in white text).

Initial renders are in. I definitely expect the colors, legends, and the keys included to change though.

What do you guys think? Please be specific to which ones you guys like or changes you would like to see. 

[ideus]

I am not sure if I may take one of these colors, but I'd take the top one, if any.

[trenzafeeds]

I have to admit I don't really like the darker purple. Love the other colors though. Only worry a little bit how the orange will go with classic beige.

[azhdar]

Not a big fan of purple or pink, the orange is nice tho.

Middle option for me.

[roostrc0gburn]

YES. definitely down with those black legends!

Edit: my vote is Orange Shift with Purple Alt and Magenta Ctrl. I think we're going to need spacebars to match too 

[romevi]

Wasn't too keen on this set based off the colors, but the new render helps some. Can't tell which I prefer.

[TalkingTree]

I would buy a full orange set. I would appreciate white legends.

[chilldude_22]

I love these colors (and black legends). I'd be down for any of the three if they included matching Escape keys 

[HoffmanMyster]

I prefer to have the orange keys not be shift.  It seems too heavily weighted with the purple-ish colors as ctrl/alt and orange on top, I much prefer to have the purple-ish colors (purple/magenta) separate from each other in different rows.  I like the middle mockup best.

Yeah, I agree. Orange **** looks much better with pink Alt and purple Control.

[ileben]

I am not a fan of orange, just because it's not my thing (subjective), so I would only order this for the purple and pink keys.

I imagine there are others like me, so here's something to keep in mind: the CMWY and CMWK sets produced in the past have a pink Ctrl key. If you put pink on Ctrl, thise people will essentially get another of the same key (provided the W/K legends match your choice). On the other hand. If you put pink on another colour, they can now have two pink keys if they want. Also, if Ctrl was purple, those people could now make a CPYW/K set by replacing their pink Ctrl if that suits their main alpha set better (again, provided that the W/K legends match).

Or you can just ignore all this and make a new set for new auidence, your call.

Hey all,

I am going to suspend working on this project for now.

There are way too many GMK projects going on right now.

As nice as a mod back would be, I just don't feel like the timing would be appropriate right now.

I will reopen doing a mod pack in the future if people request it.

Thanks guys,
