Please support colemak <3 love pink colorways
Just FYI the N and C are flipped in some renders :P
Good luck with the set Jebbra!
GMK BTS When?
Yes please.
EDIT: Will you consider adding a kit to add support for ortho or 40% support?
love me some blink, 40s kit please
Finally a Blackpink set! Ortho/40s kit please. Other than that I'm interested!

agree, otherwise really nice.
Would you consider changing the capslock and backspace icons, not a fan of either. Looking forward to the kit love the sublegends.
No ESC in black?
GMK BTS When?I need a GMK Twice too :))

It's a homage to Blackpink logo, which use inverted C and N (and also "unbrigded" A)
The modifier legends tho.... :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
Would it be possible to get this with regular legends?
Would you consider Icon mods without text as well?
If that is added I'm definitely getting this, love the colors
extra b key for my alice plz. then i will be happy. XD
I know nothing about kpop but I would most probably buy this.Just FYI the N and C are flipped in some renders :P

Are those inverted/unbridged caps supposed to be part of the base set? Those could be novelties.

Maybe offer an auxiliary, reversed modifier set that's pink on black? Folks probably disagree with me, but those mods are _bright_
Definite buy. Love the novelties and the mods look better text only.
Consideration of taking out the raised characters? It allows for a more modern look which kpop is about.
Novelties are very nice. Mods look better now too. But it would be better if the numpad is separated from the base kit.
Molds for non raised characters are available as pulse utilized them. I would heavily favor those over the raised ones for your theme.
I'll buy this if you make a pink on black modifier kit.
I'm leaning towards text only mods too now :p
Updated with less-cluttered Hangul

And updated the novelties too

Do you mean to make it "all black"? That's an interesting idea.. I'll try!

Less-cluttered Hangul looks better. Still that numpad though. It's just going to make the kit more expensive and most don't need it.

BETRAYAL!
But seriously, I like the way it looks!
Hangul isn't my thing, but I would probably get a modifiers-only kit to go with my other GMK Black kits, e.g., WoB+Colevrak and WoB Hiragana.
Less-cluttered Hangul looks better. Still that numpad though. It's just going to make the kit more expensive and most don't need it.
Several corrections. It is not less cluttered Hangul it is just mono. Taking numpad out of base is a bad move in most sets. Including the numpad costs only about 10 more while making it separate raises it by 35-40.
I'm thinking about a pink on black mod only kit. What do guys think? Will try mock it up this weekend.
I need this! Also are the render colors accurate? I feel like BP's pink is a little less saturated.
Hello everyone,
Sorry for the long absence! Been busy at work and since the due date is still hung up back then, I don't know what to do lol.
But now here I am, confirming BLINK will be launched on May on TK.C and several proxies!
Now about the kit, there will be:
1. Base Kit
2. Black Kit
3. Novelties Kit
Yes, it seems ergo kit will be omitted because I don't see that much interest here (as well as 40s).
Here they are in image:
Base Kit

Black Kit (which one do you think will be better? Full kit or only the mod?)
(Attachment Link)
(Attachment Link)
Novelties Kit

And since we are still months apart with the GB, keep 'em input coming! What's missing, what's not needed, anything ;D
PS I already ordered some render esp for the Black Kit
Black Kit (which one do you think will be better? Full kit or only the mod?)
Looks awesome! I've got a suggestion for the novelties (or the base). Going with the song related keys, I'd think that a "Kill This Love" Backspace key would be an amazing addition! I lurk a lot on here, but I made an account to make sure that this kind of opportunity wouldn't be missed. XD
Sad to see the set become text only, I much prefer text+icon.
Leave it to TKC to drop an ergo kit :eyeroll:
Too bad! Glad I got in on another Hangul set instead.

100% in for Base and Novelties, maybe I'll grab the black mods too :rolleyes:
Any word on what the EU proxy will be? Also, are you thinking of making a deskmat or just caps?

Can't wait for this set to be forever delayed, just like BP's comebacks!
Seems like I will make poll for the Black ver. wether it is another full kit or mod only.
On the other hand, does GMK have hangul only legend? Was thinking maybe icon only mods + hangul only alpha on Black Kit will be baller.
Found this one on luck, I love the colors! Just don't know what the novelties refer to :blank:
Since I am new to this place, what is the best way to keep updated on this set? And is there already an EU proxy planned?

Any chance we could have a separate latin only alphas kit, similar to how GMK Darling is doing this?:

Really like the all black set, but wish they came with a pink esc and return at least. The flipped alphas in the novelties is a nice touch.
I think you've used the square one concept quite well, but any other interesting deskmat ideas in the works?
I'd suggest having half pink one side, and half black on the other. The yin yang symbol could even be used [kinda incorporate it in the middle of black/pink split]. I'm heavily biased though since I kinda love the concept/balance of yin yang though (<3 gmk mizu koi deskmat). I mean it's even on the Korean flag too.
You could do a fun, text-based pattern repeating the phrase du-dddu-du one potentially if there's interest.
Obvious for copyright reasons you can't use the band's name/logo... but I'd love to see the phrase "In your area" in a rectangle box, in a similar style, just in the middle, or corner of the deskmat.

Thank you so much for the ideas! They're all awesome! Definitely will try them all this weekend :thumb:
I will check with TK.C what is the deskmat MOQ on their vendor, if it's low enough I think we can do multiple designs.

Anyway, making some deskmat designs, thoughts?
I want to keep them clean and simple but still have a cohesive touch to the theme.

Excitingly, there's a planned comeback early this year. I can't wait to see what comes out.
Burn baby burn
My girlfriend was feeling pretty frustrated at the rate of my keyboard fanaticism and saying how "I don't ever want a keyboard..." until I told her about this set. She seemed to instantly pull a Reddit switcheroo and was really interested so, whatever you got make it cause I'm probably gonna have to get it all for her :D
Will there be a black mods kit? (Or is there enough interest for black mods)
Haha that's the spirit! I gave my wife a keyboard and some sets too (DSA Hana & GMK Keyb&Co.) to calm her down :p
No joke because of this set she now ask for BTS version..
I'm actually now finding I like the all black kit more and more.I ****ing hope so, we’ve been starved of blink music
Light stick novelty place holders are hilarious. I don't know how it would look like an icon, since one angle is a hammer, and the other, is a heart on a stick...
I'd prefer a more generic kpop reference like finger hearts, or just a simple heart tbh
Big rumours that Blackpink will feat on Lady Gaga's album coming out on 10th April

the mini love sign will be cute.. hmm should I replace the yinyang one, is it even official? I only found them at their early poster which I don't really know if it's official or notI don't know if the yin yang is official. I also thought it was meant to be a circle too... Maybe it's become an abandoned idea and they just use their name (like BTS) instead of what's their originally planned logo?
3. With the GB time getting nearer, I will lock the kit on April 1st, so far this is the kit that will be offered:

May I suggest removing some of the less frequently used keys, such as:Since this has a pretty sizeable base kit, these changes would help keep the price down.
- the second 1u Ctrl;
- all of the Any keys — they aren't really needed since you have the Black/Pink novelties, Alt and Fn;
- R3 1.75u stepped Ctrl;
- the four extra ISO-UK keys — R3 #~, R4 \| or (better yet) R3 \|, R4 <> are enough for baseline ISO support;
- the 1u convex spacebar keys — I don't know where they would be used outside of 40% boards, which this set doesn't have support for.
On the other hand, I would like to see R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn added to the base kit (for 65%/75%), since I believe they are more commonly used than any of the aforementioned keys.
Also, the kit images in the OP are out of date; you might want to update them.
4. Making ISO compatibility keys more compact, leaving only ISO return, 1.25u Shift, R3 #~ and R4 \| (please advice about this further, if any)I would recommend R3 \|₩ and R4 <> instead (like in this pic (http://www2.phys.canterbury.ac.nz/dept/docs/manuals/unix/DEC_4.0e_Docs/HTML/SUPPDOCS/KOREADOC/KOREA8.GIF)). The reason being that it's more neutral, and it keeps ₩ closer to its original position by the Enter key on Korean keyboards.
7. Adding accent Return in Black Kit to compensate the total key numbers on each Kit (marked by cyan arrow)Would you consider adding an accent Esc key as well? I think Esc is accented more often than Enter, but it would be cool to have both :)
Adding 1 more keys will make the black kit have more keys, I don't know how the pricing will be reflected regarding this, I can't promise about this.I think the black kit may end up having a slightly different price anyway due to the different composition (2×1u vs 1×2.25u).
The reason for the split space keys included in the base key is because I see there's quite much Alice clones popped out in the last year (and of course the standard 60s with split space compat before that) while in the same time the keyboard using 6u is declining, so I intend to replace the usual 4 spacebar configuration in base kit into 2 spacebar and some spacekeys. And thus the reason for the Space Kit exist is pure cosmetic except the 6u (I feel bad somehow to not support it at all lol) the current Space Kit can be removed entirely in my opinion as it is my last minute idea, not my initial.It's nice to have the space kit for the accent 6.25u and 7u, as well as the 6u's, in my opinion.
Another approach to reducing the price of the base kit would be to keep the space keys but split out the numpad. This could perhaps work even better than the previous suggestion, seeing as space keys are arguably more popular than numpads nowadays. Looking at recent sets that had both spacebars and numpads as separate kits, the spacebar kits always sold more. Therefore I think it would make sense to merge spacebars with base and split out the numpad.
In this case that would mean moving the accent 6.25u, 7u spacebars and one 6u (centered is enough) to the base kit; and moving the numpad, split Num+, split Num0 and R1 End, PgDn to a numpad kit.
Something to think about :)
I really hope there's enough interest to hit MOQ. I need this
As long as there's support for UK ISO, I'm in (R3 #~ and R4 \|)I change it to R3 \| and R4 ><
No EU proxy?..There will be one, don't worry, TK.C always have EU proxy
I won't break the base kit again, I'm not into breaking kits too much like current trends, when I bought modern dolch light I ended up splurging more compared to old kits :-[
And I think the group buy spirit is to help the lower wanted keys too.
As long as there's support for UK ISO, I'm in (R3 #~ and R4 \|)
Ok so this is the final kit, if there are any critical/urgent things that makes them need to be adjusted, I will do it.
Find it mad that the ISO keys in the kit get changed based on the comments of one person but hey-ho
As for the black kit, An Accent Esc would be nice. Seems a little odd to just have an accent enter.

You're welcome to provide counterarguments.

The keys removed total to 3 x R1 keys, 1 x R3 and 1 x R4. Now, I look at the current, finalised base kit and see that there's 2 x R1 Page Up and 2 x R2 Page Down keys in the main kit - I think you could probably cut 1 of the Page Up and 1 of the Page Down keys from the kit and add back in the 5 UK ISO keys that were removed.
Sure, I'm thinking about this more from my own point of view, but I was quite looking forward to this kit and was sad to see the keycaps I wanted being cut at the 11th hour.

Ah, apologies, I thought you were talking about the legends. As for the removal of keys, its obviously undesirable for UK users to have their keys removed, and I definitely understand that. However, this base kit is now more in line with what most GMK sets are running and what compatibility is expected as the norm that satisfies most use cases. The kits can't be too big or else the price will be high, too. And I think it's still going to be on the high side here because of the added space keys in base, so it would actually probably be better to keep removing keys (e.g. the 1u spacebar, the numpad 00, the PgUp/PgDn, the Any) rather than add them back. But at the end of the day, it's up to the designer to decide what they think is best for their set.Ok so this is the final kit, if there are any critical/urgent things that makes them need to be adjusted, I will do it.

I noticed this only just now, and I believe it's important. It may just be an oversight in the render, but it's best to check. The Any key you intended as a replacement for the Alice B needs to be R4 in order for that to be possible, but it's currently shown as R3 in the render. The pricing won't be affected if you've already gotten quotes, just make sure it's changed to R4 for the final renders and later when the order is submitted to GMK.
I think the Blackpink 'A', 'C' and 'N' might be better off being included in the base kit alongside normal typeface 'A', 'C' and 'N' as some might want to have the Blackpink typeface instead of the normal one but might only want to get the base kit and not the fan kitThe base kit is big enough I even take out some keys out of them.
Any plans for deskmat? maybe a little to lateThere will be one(s), don't worry!

I already info TK.C about that and we are supposed to be still good in term of price (which I don't know yet)
Ah, only just realised the other UK ISO keycaps had been nixed from the final set. Unfortunate. Good luck with the set!

RIP ErgoDoxYes there are no "right legend" keys for planck, but you can put these on a planck, at least with the right row. I put 1u blank for not just for planck, but for some split keyboard (like Alice) which has a 2.25u+1u configuration. And I think I will just add another one to extend the planck support a bit ;D
What's the deal with the two 1u R4C keys? Looks like Planck compatibility was intended, but no R4 1u Enter or Shift keys, no R3/R2 Tab/Esc keys.... :-[
oof those EU prices..
Aww, no Asia proxy?
was looking for the Asia proxy too. I read that Quad H will be the proxy. is this correct?
