Media keys kit extension for White on Black and Minimal.

IC FORM

Inspiration:

A bean sídhe was a fairy spirit, that would wail whenever a family member was about to die. (In English, we refer to them as banshees.) The bean sidhe didn’t cause death but announced the death or warned loved ones that death was near, so they could prepare. Some believed she escorted their loved ones safely to the afterlife...so I of course decided to make this set!

I always remap Print, NumLock & Pause to Previous, Play & Next and am left with unrelated legends due to lack of support for media keys in current keysets. Same goes for the right column on my 65%.

Kits:

GMK White on Black Extension

GMK Minimal Extension

Count me in!! I keep forgetting where I mapped volume up and down on my 65 column!

Please consider deskhero, ashkeebs, Apex keyboards, or minokeys for a Canadian vendor.

Thanks!

This is one of the things I never thought about, but now that I see it I need it.

I use WASD but this is a nice little idea. GLWIC.

GraffitiDecos · « **Reply #10 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 18:25:23 »

I wonder, do these legends exist already with GMK? Perhaps it would be cheaper to go ePBT or geekark for dyesub?

Yes, 100% yes. I'm in for several sets of WoB. I always map the typical PgUp and PgDn R2 and R3 on a 65% as Vol Up and Vol Dn. Any chance you'd consider adding text versions of each of them too to match the typical Drop WoB set along with keeping the icon versions to go with WoB Hiragana and Katakana sets?

This. I am definitely in, but I would vastly prefer a play/pause button rather than just play.

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 18:45:54 »

neat idea. Am I right that the molds for these don't exist?

Izeri · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 18:52:52 »

Nice. Are they within specs tho?

totalemon · « **Reply #15 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 18:53:09 »

100% in for a few kits. Definitely would prefer a play/pause option and slightly less squashed skip legends

Cubic // esc lab · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 19:22:00 »

I'm in. Really happy you chose WS1 (GMK Minimal).

Consider making more of these, I'll buy em all.

Chippy · « **Reply #17 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 19:25:22 »

This is useful, this is nice. I like this. Are molds needed for these? Also please consider fixing the play key to be play+pause.

Seconded - was literally going to say the same thing.

sup3r170va · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 20:44:17 »

Count me in. Can u also do classic too (ie U9 mods, CR text, to match 9009 or other classic colorways)?

misswaffle · « **Reply #20 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 21:12:19 »

I want media keys!

These look great, please consider having a Canadian vendor.

hrmmm · « **Reply #21 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 21:48:33 »

The molds for play/pause, mute, vol up, and vol down keys were used in GMK ThinkCaps:

consider beige ones, too, please!

Some of them exist some don't. Regardless, this will happen at a reasonable price.

Renders are approximated. I'll get them to spec before the GB.

Already have a handful planned (to fill in my own keysets, tbh :p). I wanna keep this one nice and easy.

vanquishings · « **Reply #29 on:** Tue, 23 March 2021, 17:49:40 »

The fact that these aren't included in most normal sets is frustrating. I'd definitely be in for a set of both!

Alessio · « **Reply #30 on:** Tue, 23 March 2021, 19:56:01 »

really cool, wish i could use these. would be nice to see a beige addon too <3

sub0001 · « **Reply #31 on:** Tue, 23 March 2021, 21:25:00 »

I'm in for both sets. Def would be great to get some in U9 as well.

godofdeath · « **Reply #32 on:** Tue, 23 March 2021, 22:07:52 »

Can I get a f13 as well

frozenthai · « **Reply #33 on:** Wed, 24 March 2021, 21:49:33 »

Nice! Trying to get a standard dark and light keycap set to mix with modifiers etc from other kits. Minimal is the light one and this will help out.

Maybe not all but would have been even better if it had a few more "common" symbols like calculator, light +/- , screen brightness +/- , mic mute, etc.
F row with symbols could be nice when I think about it as well in the future

nasp · « **Reply #34 on:** Fri, 26 March 2021, 11:14:13 »

If you're looking to save on costs, the volume icons already exist, at least the ones that GMK ThinkCaps used. They are a bit different, but I prefer them to the ones you used anyway.

ddrfraser1 · « **Reply #35 on:** Fri, 26 March 2021, 11:19:44 »

Oh, yeah. Yes. Affirmative.

andreiborisov · « **Reply #36 on:** Fri, 26 March 2021, 14:14:32 »

I feel like the icons are too small

whirlwind · « **Reply #37 on:** Fri, 26 March 2021, 16:16:43 »

In, also consider beige.

ephemeral25 · « **Reply #38 on:** Sun, 28 March 2021, 10:17:58 »

[redacted] minimal do beige instead.

WoB/Beige is the only duo that should exist

ab042896 · « **Reply #39 on:** Fri, 02 April 2021, 19:08:46 »

I think piggybacking on the molds created for GMK Thinkcaps is the move.

Please also consider adding a U9 kit for classic beige colorways

Pach · « **Reply #40 on:** Sat, 03 April 2021, 07:54:22 »

oh yeah kinda clean

andreiborisov · « **Reply #41 on:** Sat, 03 April 2021, 15:24:29 »

Agreed with everyone else regarding ThinkCaps molds

azzipa · « **Reply #42 on:** Sun, 04 April 2021, 12:20:27 »

yes, please. and yes to think caps molds.

~~possible to choose ws1 for white (instead of custom minimal)?~~
edit: nevermind, i just realized minimal is WS1. lmao.
2nd edit: any chance this will actually run?

actress · « **Reply #43 on:** Wed, 07 April 2021, 05:08:54 »

Great idea!
+1 for beige. Also if you could create an extension for NorDe UK too that'd be great.

tanghus · « **Reply #44 on:** Wed, 07 April 2021, 08:18:31 »

Beige! Beige! Beige! Beige! Beige!

sup3r170va · « **Reply #45 on:** Sat, 05 June 2021, 04:01:00 »

Bumping an old thread. I like the idea of media keys, and hope they are avail in beige too

bigapplepietart · « **Reply #46 on:** Thu, 08 July 2021, 21:39:17 »

To these, I say yes.

HappyB0T · « **Reply #47 on:** Sun, 11 July 2021, 00:02:05 »

+1 to beige

Barnson · « **Reply #48 on:** Wed, 12 January 2022, 17:56:20 »

I actually had to make a geekhack account for this. +1 and a mic muted key would be awesome

chuteme · « **Reply #49 on:** Mon, 29 January 2024, 20:02:57 »

pls make this happen i beg
