This is the original ansi TA:

interested but only if you use control legends and not CTRL
i don't like capital legends
I'm a little confused. Are the white keys and darker blue mods there as an example of wrong colors that were run before?Correct. They were part of the first GMK with custom colors, GMK Triumph Adler. You can Google it. It will lead you to the Massdrop page.
I am HYPED
As above. If this has compatibility I would be very interested.
I am interested as long as all of the compatibility is there.
awww that's a shame about the ISO compatibility :(
great set though !!
As Oblotzky said, the CTRL and PRT SCR should be looked at. Don't want another GMK Penumbra situation
Even if that was the original style, it hurts my eyes :(

Another vote for replacing those, IMHO, ugly upper case legends on Control and Print Screen.

OK, I will use Control and Prt Sc.
You should consider adding R4 1.5u controls and alts along with the various other R4 1u keys as it is fairly common on the many 65%, 75%, 96-key, and 1800 style layouts to use a mix of 1.25u, 1.5u, or 1u keys. I could imagine it might be awkward mixing R4 and R5 bottom row keys for these cases.
Other than than, I’m definitely in! Have always loved the OG TA colorway, but the original GMK run left a lot to be desired.

Most sets add ISO support to the base not as a kit. This was recently changed on GMK Olivia for example, but very few sets run without ISO support

It looks like GMK Olivia need one more key for UK compatibility. For me there is no difference between 1 difference and 5 differences.

Some suggestions:With some of the suggestions made, along with the ones quoted above and the R5 included as it is currently mocked up, I think it will be a strong base kit.
- Modifier colored R1 1u Tilde (~ `) key
- Change R2 1.5u Delete key to Backspace OR <---- icon key (NOT <[X] key)
- Modifier colored R2 1.5u Pipe (| \) key
- Barred R3 F and J keys
- (optional) F1-F4 and F9-F12 in modifier colors
- (optional) R3 Stepped Control 1.75u key
- (optional but may be added by GMK) alpha-colored 6u centered stem and 6u off-centered stem spacebars
- (optional kit) Spacebar kit (similar to GMK Taro's (https://i.imgur.com/3ktro5h.png))

is there any way we can get the legends on the parenthesis and stuff

Most TA sets were produced with icon mods, therefore it would be logic to go with them.

Here to say what I say in a lot of GMK ICs: most GMK sets are a single R2 1.25u key away from being 40% compatible. Please consider it!

Nice job getting this started in the first place! TA was my first GMK set and as much as it was imperfect in a lot of sense, I enjoyed it a lot. If this round is done right -- color samples, legends -- it should be a really pleasant set to own. I'll keep an eye on it for sure.
can't remember if i posted in this thread or not but i'm definitely interested
sometimes i regret selling my GMK TA
Row 0 - 5 and a subtle colorway is keeping me most interested.there would be a high chance this wont happen, R0 and R5. As others tried to do it, it made the set too pricey.
Icon mods, icon + text mods and CTRL is all OG, it just depends on the localisation which you choose.
That would be unfortunate, maybe a vendor could support the set and make it a reality. Gmk Iris was able to accomplish Row 0 & 5 and was a much more divisive set.Row 0 - 5 and a subtle colorway is keeping me most interested.there would be a high chance this wont happen, R0 and R5.

How about 9009-style mod? Or is this what you guys refer when saying 'icon mods'?
Barred F & J Keys please.
Very nice! Are you going to send in your caps for color matching, or use Pantone color chips?I plan to send my caps to GMK ;D
Definitely would've done some things differently in retrospect.
Many of you want icon mods, how about an icon kit like gmk yuri? It could be compatible with more layouts.MoreShow Image(https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/massdrop-x-t0mb3ry-gmk-yuri-custom-keycap-set/Icon_Mods_20170517120653.jpg)

Rather than reading the entire thread, I'm going to ask for the sake of being lazy:First pic in op. Looks to be more beige than yellow.
Will the alphas have the more yellowed look, or will it be similar to intelli's GMK TA?
Either way I'm fine, but for this new iteration I'm kinda hoping for the more yellowed look.

Alpha color will be light gray, the same as original Cherry set.
If you want a yellowed look, you could try to do something to yellow this set.
Just a thought, 1.5u bottom row only in R5 kinda ruins the set for layouts like 65/75/96key that can use 3x1.25u left of space and 2x1.5u right of space next to arrows."Ruins" probably isn't the right word to use here.

Yes, there is no similar color in Uniqey codes, so this set will use custom colors.Rather than reading the entire thread, I'm going to ask for the sake of being lazy:

Not decided yet. I don't know why but it seems people here don't like MD.
MD could offer a cheaper price and we can hit a higher MOQ.

I think this Norde's key would be better in its DE version:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/YjG6CtZ.jpg)
The spacebar kit could offer much better compatibility for split spacebar boards by simply adding a 1.25u blank.
It seems that all the TA keyboards were made in 1990(Cherry date code C), so I would like to name this set "GMK TA 90".
