Title: [IC] GMK TA 90 (GB will start June 24!)
Post by: Drclick on Mon, 23 April 2018, 13:12:30
Hey there, many of the yours may remember the GMK Triumph Adler group buy in 2015. As it was the first time GMK made customized color, things were not going so well.
Now GMK can offer preproduction samples and I have an un-yellowed TA keyboard, so I can choose the right color for this set.


Let me know if you're interested! ;D

That's how it was on the original, at least on ANSI models. German ones do seem to have lowercase Strg and Druck though.

Personally I would prefer normal Ctrl/Control and PrtSc for the sake of consistency.

What about the "Strg" legend as your original board has?
Title: Re: [IC] GMK OG TA
Post by: dallman5 on Mon, 23 April 2018, 18:26:13
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.

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.

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.

I prefer using R5 bottom row, I will consider using R4 bottom row or adding additional R4 row.
So I need some more feedback! :D

- 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))

How about offering (at least some) grey mods, so you could go for an all blue on grey theme with some blue accent mods? A la Muted or 9009, where you have coloured enter keys and spacebars. That'd make a hell of a set.

I like the actual TA colorway more than the GMK version so this is nice to see.  Aside from some general comments about compatibility like others have mentioned such as an R1 1u |\ mod-colored key and 1u Ctrl/Alt keys, I actually think you should go all R5 for the bottom row.  Yeah people will say they they'd rather have R4 but the vast majority of us haven't even tried it so it's not like most of us really know what we prefer, and I doubt it has been common for people to completely bail on SA buys because they use R3 on the bottom instead of R4 (which seems like a bigger difference in feel anyway).

Title: Re: [IC] GMK OG TA
Post by: ___q on Tue, 24 April 2018, 09:55:28
I will definitely pick this up if it runs, a big fan of this colorway.

Couple of minor comments:

* The R0/F kit is still pictured with a capitalized PRT SC. It may make sense to either (a) change it to Prt Sc to match the modifiers or (b) if it is faithful to the OG board, keep PRT SC and add 2x 1.5u R5 CTRL keys to this addon kit.  My preference is (b) but neither way is a dealbreaker for me.

* +1 for keeping the R5 bottom row, I would not be opposed to additionally having the R4 keys (but personally would be unlikely to use them).

It's bittersweet to see this being run again. We're already arguing over the exact same things that were argued over in the original GB. The choice of colours, captial letters, R5. Such deja vu. Hopefully if this ends up being produced, it won't cause as much heartache.

paying tribute to OG TA, I am fond of icon+text modifiers. I think an alternative way is to offer a child kit with icon modifers or inversely icon+text modifers as child kit.

R5 bottom is a pretty good choice, these higher keys offer more interesting feel when typing comparing with R4. However, R0 Function kit is less useful but a bit more expensive than R1 height keys. Changing to R1 Function would be a better choice. But please retain the "F1" "F2".... characters with circles ,they are awesome.

No, no please keep R5! All OG sets should have R5 :)

Having additional R4 support was a mere suggestion to expand compatibility and hopefully reach a bigger audience so the set hits that 250 custom color MOQ. As an example of what I’m referring to, GMK Originative and Blue Alert have pretty good support for both R4 and R5 bottom row.

CTRL and PRT SCR being the only all-uppercase legends is surely a mistake, right?

That's how it was on the original, at least on ANSI models. German ones do seem to have lowercase Strg and Druck though.

Personally I would prefer normal Ctrl/Control and PrtSc for the sake of consistency.

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.

paying tribute to OG TA, I am fond of icon+text modifiers.

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

Only ISO TA use icon mods, Ansi TA use text+icon.

That's true, but as TA was a German company probably more boards were made with icon mods, at least that would fit the amount of found boards. I wonder which American had the idea that you need a text to be able to understand the arrow up icon  :))

In, looks great

Is that R0/F Kit something GMK have confirmed they can do?

- Change R2 1.5u Delete key to Backspace OR <---- icon key (NOT <[X] key)

Please don't try squeeze "Backspace" onto a 1.5u key, it looks awful. Keep as Delete or use <--- icon

It'd be nice if you could keep 1800 support with the R0 as part of that kit, if it happens

GMK 85|15 never ran, did it? If not, the R0 kit would require new molds because afaik, those were never made. It's really neat and unique though. I would probably grab the R0 kit if it happens.

Also, I know we're trying to stay true to the original set here, but I'd personally like a scooped numpad 5. Nothing big though, I'd buy this regardless.

- Modifier colored R2 1.5u Pipe (| \) key

- (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

CTRL and PRT SCR being the only all-uppercase legends is surely a mistake, right?

That's how it was on the original, at least on ANSI models. German ones do seem to have lowercase Strg and Druck though.

Personally I would prefer normal Ctrl/Control and PrtSc for the sake of consistency.

English ANSI models simply used 'Control' - it appears the Czech ANSI or whatever localisation that is went along with the ISO way of doing things.

I second that. Skipping those weird looking bottom row icons would make the set cheaper. Unless there’s huge demand for them. Personally, I don’t find them that nice.

"Ruins" probably isn't the right word to use here.

If I recall correctly GMK does not have molds for R5 keys in different bottom row sizes other than the ones specified. 1u, 1.5u, 2u, Numpad Enter.

If you want to use the set for other layouts, just use R4 bottom row, which is provided.

No, I mean you have to use the 1.5u keys in R5 whether the rest of the bottom is or not due to the layout. You're stuck with either the 1.5u being the only R5 keys on the bottom or the 1.25u keys being the only R4 keys on the bottom. I'd say that does sorta ruin the bottom row if you have any of these pretty popular layouts.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK OG TA (Update :May 23)
Post by: LightningXI on Wed, 23 May 2018, 01:23:53


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.

I prefer using R5 bottom row, I will consider using R4 bottom row or adding additional R4 row.
So I need some more feedback! :D

Valid point, donut. It seems to have been suggested here. OP should take it into account.

I agree on the R5 stuff, if it were me I’d include the r4 versions to the base kit and r5 to the r0 kit. That way you keep the base kit down, but still have the option if it sells well. I also am not a big fan of how it looks in photos even if I do enjoy typing on r5. So I could see wanting both.

Regardless, the way it is now greatly hurts compatibility with any non traditional bottom row board which isn’t exactly a rarity these days. Plus, from my understanding r5 keys cost more and for compatibility this set is adding an entire second bottom row to the base.

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.



MD is not bad price-wise for ConUS; but, it does not ship to some countries and for Europeans final total cost may be too high.

The spacebar kit could offer much better compatibility for split spacebar boards by simply adding a 1.25u blank.

I think it’s cool that it’s being offered, but I’m still sad there are no r4 mods that would work with tsangan style bottom row. R5 looks good with a few boards and totally awful with others.

Yeah makes sense. I’m also torn a bit since I want to use it on a board that’ll use both r0 and r5 but the only board that’ll take that is a 96 key that I have set up with 1.25u mods on the left.

If GMK had r5 1.25u mods then at least it would be consistently r5 for people that need to use both tsangan and standard bottom row keys.

I think there was some miscommunication.

CMY/RGB mods might work for someone who is fine with r4 mods. It’s still not a solution for someone who wants to use r5. Also, I think that CMY/RGB mods always look terrible so I’m definitely not going that route.

My comments about the r5 1.25u mods are more wishful thinking than anything. Maybe someday they’ll get made but for now I’m fine just switching my left side to 1.5u mods.

What about zFrontier EN site https://en.zfrontier.com/collections/gmk?sort_by=created-descending? Is it coming there or not?

No icon mods as default  :( Not sure why change a homage-keyset to text instead.

I thought most of the keyboards of which this is a homage have text mods, no?

1.25 left shift with icon plus text is ugly as an unshaved stinky fatty. Thanks for that.  :)) :)) :)) :)) :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

You have a odd way with words.

But I agree that icon plus text on a 1.25u key is ugly.
