MINILA spacebar... it should fit as far as I know unless Minila has something stupid non standard stem spacings? Does a stabilized shift key fit on there? If so we are good.

Doesn't look good - Minila spacebar below, right shift above.  Does this mean a no-go?

Show Image


Do you happen to have any other sets laying around that you could compare other shift keys to this spacebar?

Such as?  Although I feel it may be in vain (see below)

miniLA Spacebar is 3x, so a 2.75x shift won't fit it. I've tried a bunch of them. You have to get a 3x key.

I've only just realised that the keys in the mockup that I originally thought were 3x are actually 2.75x... Damn...

I'd probably buy some just for the hell of it, one day I want to make my own version of the Ergoduck.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Ivan, posted over in Deskthority but any chance of adding 1 key to complete the UK ISO layout since you're 98% there already? Since having 2 \¦ is bizzare (shouldn't on of them really be \|?) separating #~ to a separate key.

FYI you had a perfect layout with the dark dolch set that you posted a few months back.

GMK does not have the 3x mold for miniLA spacebars. They'll have to be SP, and SP only has the mold in DSA.

BLANK ALPHA pack is same color as alpha key in BASE CC. EDOX mods pack is same colors as mods in BASE N9. So otherwords it's the same Dolch scheme in blanks.

I think GMK pad printing is pretty decent, though it does look more consistent with the doubleshots on lighter key with dark color printing than vice versa where it is less bright. There are a few pad print keys besides the GB side printed. The B row lock keys in ODD pack are pad printed, and the print/scroll/pause keys in the F'n'A pack are too as GMK says the tooling for those is missing, apparently F row require a different legend insert than E...
Regarding windowed keys to keep the MOQ low they must be done in even number of same key and it makes it a more expensive option so I didn't offer it.

Definitely placing an order for base set plus color.  Maybe 2 sets.

1. Not a fan of the side printing.  I understand compromises were made on the base set to drive the price down but this is wallethack.  I wouldn't mind paying a little more especially for such a long awaited set.  I still think it will hit MOQ even if it costs a bit more. 

2. Scoops on the F and J in the color set please.  I'll still order a color set either way but I'm sure I'm not the only one who prefers the scoops.

3. Windows 8 Logo.  I like that it's on the color set but I would also like it on the base set or an option for it.

4. Please do Classic Beige next.  I'd also like classic white on black.

Anyway, I will be joining this.

ALL sets are locked in content. I will not be changing any options at all, no keys will be added or legends changed. I realize some people wishlist is a bit different, and that some don't mind to pay more for additional keys. But I really just want to get one full set buy done and I feel starting with something a little more pared down and less expensive is a good tactic. Assuming that we actually manage to get this in production, we can tweak options / expand key packs in future buys.

You've got to remember that there are delays for ordering, invoicing, payment, then Ivan paying GMK, then production, shipping, sorting at Ivan's, then shipping to us.  Some of those are only a few days, while others might be a month long.  Typically GMK is quite speedy, but it still takes a few months to get everything to your doorstep.  :)

How would an original Cherry set fit on a Filco? Cherry uses a different caps lock, and the bottom row is different on most Cherry sets, too.

I had to scavenge key caps from 2 different boards. One was a Cherry 8100 pos keyboard that had all the correct bottom row modifiers. All I need now is a Cherry profile space bar to complete the set.
