Title: [IC] GMK Delta
Post by: Ashento on Thu, 02 May 2019, 06:51:58
UPDATE #2, Things will be moved to this new post by Upas, from CannonKeys!

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102416.0




Update #1, and More Renders! (8/18/19):

GMK Delta will be running on CannonKeys, sometime in November. Proxies still in the works.
The set will be divided in 2 kits, Base, and Spacebars. (ISO is in the base kit!)

There will only be ONE novelty in two colors, which is the Esc/Triangle. in R1.

We will be going with the Turquoise/Teal called VBV, from Signature Plastics also known as #5dceba. Instead of Pantone 570 C, as originally shown.

We will also be ditching the remaining chosen Pantones, and instead are going with RAL for the Black Modifiers, and GMK's WS2 (Cool White) for the White Alphas.

Hey guys! It's a day late, but today I'll be running the GeekHack IC for this set,
GMK Delta.

I decided to use one of my all time favorite colors as the accent, VBV from Signature Plastics.
I designed the novelties, and hope you guys enjoy it!

The set will include these keys here:

Any suggestions are appreciated, and will be considered for the final keys included.
I will be running this alongside CannonKeys/Upas.

Pricing and more renders on the way!

I like this a lot. I was going to suggest potentially offering alternative alphas in the mod colours for a mono/uniform look but maybe that'd get to be too close to Metropolis Midnight - either way, I think it'd look great.

I like it. It's bold and modern and very clean. This design is almost exactly what I would do if I were to design a keyset for myself! The only thing I'm not in love with is the Enter key novelty, but that's pretty inconsequential. (I'd make it more similar to the Esc novelties somehow, maybe with a more simple geometric shape)

I like the colorway.  It's got the high contrast feel of monochrome but a pop of color with that beautiful blue-green/mint. I wouldn't buy the novelty caps.  Does the OS novelty mean anything other than your personal trademark? I guess it's a delta within a delta? I think for a GB you would want to do something more universal to get more people to buy in.  Do like the colors a lot though

Post by: guzzi on Fri, 14 June 2019, 08:01:39
Very interested in this set. Some thoughts:

- I very strongly support your decision to include accent spacebars in the base kat. Compromisinng on 7u
compatibility to include a second 625 alpha colored spacebar to appeal to both "crowds" is a bad idea though (going by the kit in the ic form here).
I suggest going the whole nine yards with that choice and offering accent 7u instead of this 50/50 approach
- Prefer color matching to the VBV over the 570C for its brighter shade
- Not into the novelties personally
- Would be interested in an International Kit although that might be ambitious. Are BOW GMK kits compatible or what are the color codes on the alphas?

Hope this set gets more traction with the upcoming renders

Post by: depletedvespene on Wed, 14 August 2019, 17:22:41
While you're revising the number and groups of keys to include or exclude, please consider ISO support, whether it's US ISO (four keys), UK ISO (eight keys) or UK+US ISO (nine keys) (*), but please don't fall into the mistake of having partial but incomplete support for either, creating an Atlantis ISO support.

HTH!


(*) Those figures consider one ISO Enter; augment those to five, nine and ten if including an accent-colored ISO Enter.

I'd rather see numpad get split off into its own kit and Spacebars be included but that's just my .02. No doubt you'll sell more extras kits if you keep Spacebars seperated.

I hate being that guy, but... (Who are we kidding here? I love being that guy.)

You have a minor error in the base kit regarding ISO support: you have an 1.25U Shift key (good), accent-colored ISO Enter key (fine, but do see below), R4 \| key (good) and R3 #~ (OOPS!). This is an all-too-common mistake in too many sets, an error I'd like to see disappear for good. Why?

When it comes to a national language, base kits start out with support for US ANSI. To add ISO support, the immediate choices are US ISO or UK ISO.
- US ISO support requires adding 4 keys: ISO Enter, R4 1.25U left Shift, R3 \| and R4 \|.
- UK ISO support requires adding 8 keys: ISO Enter, R4 1.25U left Shift, R1 , R1 2", R1 , R3 '@, R3 #~ and R4 \|.

As it stands now, your set fully supports neither US ISO nor UK ISO, and therefore falls "in the middle of the pond" (something that has been called "Atlantis ISO").

The solution is pretty simple: replace the R3 #~ key with an R3 \| key — this will complete the US ISO support and keep unaltered the number of keys in the kit.



As per the ISO Enter key: ideally, all versions of a key that will be accented should have a mod-colored keycap and an accent-colored keycap present. In the base kit, you have a mod-colored and an accent-colored ANSI Enter key, and the same goes for the numpad Enter, Esc, Delta symbol and arrow keys... but there is only one ISO Enter, accent-colored.

This is entirely up to you as designer, of course, but I'd prefer to see the ISO Enter getting its two versions as well (and if it should be only one and not both, the mod-colored keycap should take precedence). IMNAAHO, YMMV, WDIKAA.

Happy to see the kits broke apart, the original kit was very big.

I would vote for split off numpad. I also think 3/4 PgUp and PgDn is pretty important with how popular 65s are these days.

I do appreciate R1 Delete though, you don't see that enough imo.

Yes, actually! We are switching to RAL for the Black color selected, but are still going to try and match VBV (Signature Plastics), or #5DCEBA as much as we can.
So it's RAL Black, WS2 White, and VBV Teal/Turquoise. The exact RAL code is in here: https://imgur.com/KXXczwf

Sounds perfect - GMK's specific complaint was that Pantones weren't designed for plastic, so I'm sure you'll be fine matching an actual SP plastic  :D

This is, of course, strictly subjective — as long as one ISO Enter key is present, it's fine... and then it'll be up to each customer to determine if they like it best or not (in my particular case, the lack of a mod-colored ISO Enter key in GMK Olive was what "broke" it for me: the olive color was, in my strictly subjective opinion, good for the legends but not for the keycaps, and since that set only had the accent-colored Enter key...).

I second separating the numberpad.

Otherwise, the kit looks pretty fantastic, would totally be in for one if it runs.

I too would like to see the numpad separated. I really like the colors.

I've come across some new information that pointed out that removing the numpad doesn't really lower the price all that much. I'd like to change my mind and say I'm indifferent on the inclusion of the numpad. Just because I won't use it doesn't mean other people who are interested in the set won't and its unfair that they have to pay even more over it.

Hey guys, some quick kit updates/explanations:
- We're going to keep just the accent ISO in the base kit. This will allow ISO users to still use the kit, and also help cover the price of having the 2 delta novelties in the base kit.
- After discussions, we're going to stick with "Atlantis" ISO support
- We are going to change the legends on "Scroll Lock" and "Num Lock" to "Scroll" and "Num" respectively, to maintain visual consistency
- You might have noticed we added a 2nd tab key. The 2nd tab key is great. With it's addition, you can build out a standard ANSI TKL, and still have enough modifier keys for a HHKB 60% board, or even a split backspace 65% board. Because these mods pair very well with BoW alphas, we hope this allows folks to mix and match with other sets they have to extract maximum value from this set.


We will have more renders coming soon!

I vow to purchase if it happens. Just need like a 1u shift, Tab, backspace, and I’m happy. I’ll buy two so my gf has one as well

I am sad to see that the mod colors changed. Possibly an unpopular opinion but I really liked the crisp contrast between the black and white. Now it does feel like the black is washed, kind of like a black shirt that was washed too many times in hot water. Contrasting that with the teal, can't help but to feel that it looks cheaper and tacky. However, I am still in support for the set and I am in.

Completely agree. Old renders on the CA66 looked awesome, way better imo and why I was into the set. I was 100% before, but now unsure. Maybe some slight tweaking can still happen

The good thing about ortho, spacebars excluded, is that you really only need a base kit and 4 other 1u mods.

R2: Out
R3: Data or Read
R4: Shift and Enter

These molds already exist so you there wouldn't be an additional cost to add them. Also, not including Esc and Tab means that you don't have to add an extra Esc and Tab since there is not consensus if these should be used on R2 or R3.

I’ve seen you suggest this before. Can you send me a pic of how you layout your setup with these keys and what they function as?  I’m interested.

Hey guys, Emil here.

A quick update on some developments, I decided to step down in terms of development for GMK Delta.
I decided to step down, because I feel Upas has a better grasp on GMK Keysets, and what you guys want.
I've been very busy as of late, so I feel the attention from Upas will be much more needed.
Besides that, it's still my design at heart, and I hope you guys enjoy it!

Upas from CannonKeys will be taking it from here. Thank you guys for the feedback!

Emil came to me and told me he was quite busy, but I really like this set and I want it to succeed, so I'll be taking it from here.
I have a few changes I'd like to make - I hope they are well received! I'll be posting some updates in the next few days.

Much thanks for Emil for coming up with this and letting me run with his idea, even though he can't take a super active role.

Hey guys,

After considering some of the feedback, I think I am going to change the teal tinted grey back to CR - black.

This means the alphas will be CR on WS2, essentially BoW. But I think this will really make teal on the mods and accent pop.

Here are some updated renders:

I don't think I like it as much, though it does still look good.

That said, it means I can use my ISO UK keys from GMK Monochrome  :D

I don't know man. I don't think it was an upgrade, nor was it a downgrade. Though I have a feeling that the finished real product will look cleaner this way.

I pretty much prefer like this, darker. Makes the teal really pop out.

This spacebar kit should have ortho compatibility:

Hey guys, just a quick update:

I talked to GMK, they've already color matched SP's VBV in the past. It's the same teal used on the original SA Hyperfuse.
https://matrixzj.github.io/docs/sa-keycaps/HyperFuse/

It's also been used in Hyperfuse Origins
https://matrixzj.github.io/docs/gmk-keycaps/HyperFuse-Origins/

and in Hyperfuse Remix
https://matrixzj.github.io/docs/gmk-keycaps/HyperFuse-Remix/

If you're curious about the color, doing a search on r/mk for any of those will show you what the teal will look like. It will look a bit different when put against the black CR. Context matters when it comes to color. It's a nice bright teal, and should really pop, and provide an awesome accent color as well.

This is great, because it means this set won't have to spend time doing many rounds of color matching. The colors have already been matched!

The colors will be CR, WS2, and VBV from SP (which is the same as the hyperfuse origins color)

No prices yet - still deciding on a few final things with the kits, then will submit for quotation!
