Опа, драго ми је да има колега у хобију у Србији и региону.
Углавном ме сви гледају ко лудака кад објашњавам шта су механичке тастатуре и што дајем 200-300€ на тастатуре.

Translation:
Wow, I'm glad I have some fellow hobbyists in Serbia and in the region.
Mostly people are watching me as a weirdo for spending 200-300€ on a keyboard and ranting about them.

Haven't seen it mentioned - have you considered adding proper yu layout tertiary legends, either in base or as an add-on kit?

stuff like curly braces on B and N, @ on V etc ...

audiosl4ve · « **Reply #107 on:** Thu, 05 September 2019, 06:01:54 »

We have, but it would be way to much new molds and cost would go up a lot. And this way it looks cleaner and little less clunky.

Really like that base color, reminds me a lot of Plum alphas in neutral lighting, plus uniform is a great look. If it wasn't for icon mods I might have to have a serious discussion with my wallet about the set :/

Hah, sure does. Looks like a Stojadin. Guess what? Also produced by Zastava :D The model is Zastava 101 or Zastava Skala or Yugo Skala (wiki).

Based on the sign on the building I'd say this was taken somewhere in Ukraine. Am I right?

If it has been taken in Ukraine, then most likely it's one of classic VAZs: 2101/21011/21013.

The correlation is there

But yeah, you're probably right, it's more likely a Soviet car than a Yugoslav one. They were all based on the same Fiat design, though.

Poesjuh · « **Reply #117 on:** Mon, 30 September 2019, 02:58:34 »

Taken in Lviv, Ukraine

According to my gf it’s a VAZ.

Check out and join the GMK Yugo waitlist on Kono Store! (especially if you're a US buyer)
They did a great job with the flavor text

Emir · « **Reply #121 on:** Fri, 11 October 2019, 15:18:32 »

We've been quoted by GMK and are finalizing the pricing with vendors right now! We'll keep you posted!

Things are moving along nicely, getting ready for the group buy in a couple of weeks!

konstantin · « **Reply #122 on:** Sat, 12 October 2019, 20:44:21 »

Hey guys, we have some updates for you! Some long overdue, some brand new. All of them awesome!

First and foremost, the group buy will run November 1st – December 15th 2019 via the following vendors:

EU – mykeyboard.eu
US – Kono Store
Asia – zFrontier
Oceania – Daily Clack

As for the kits, we have some updates here as well; namely:

Super has been replaced with System (1.25u) and Sys (1u).
The System mold will be created for Yugo and both molds will be available for future sets to use.
A 1.25u convex spacebar has been added to the Cabrio kit.
I've added updated renders with row numbers and keycap sizes to the OP.
We're looking into adding UK compatibility to the Capitalism kit without increasing the price of the kit for US buyers.

The second quote request is on its way to GMK. We're pretty happy with the prices we got the first time around, and now we're looking to optimize things further and get more options. Anyway, here are the two updated kits:

Deskmat reveal!
Well, kinda. You've already seen it in the renders, but since then we've updated the design and have ordered samples.

My favorite feature are the signs, which feature the names of the capitals for the six former Yugoslav republics, in Latin and Cyrillic.

We've partnered with Salvun and MechSoda to bring artisans and cables (respectively) to the group buy.
The artisan cap is cerakoted aluminum with enamel infill. It takes its distinctive shape from the classic Yugo hood badge and logo.

The cables will feature glow in the dark paracord (we don't condone driving without headlights at night) in a matching yellow color, Techflex double sleeving, and optional coils and aviator connectors. Pics of samples will be posted soon.

Last but not least, here's a photo of RAL D3 samples for the colors we picked. It's not the greatest since I took it with my phone a couple of weeks back (no white balance), but for what it's worth I thought the colors looked pretty accurate irl.

(Yugo colors are the second yellow from the top and the bottommost red.)
We're looking into ordering our own RAL chips asap; with any luck, we'll have good quality photos of the colors in time for the start of the GB.

Great change, hopefully this catches on with other GMK sets.

Just 12 more days to go until the GB, woo! (or should I say, beep!)

We will be posting the final kit pricing soon; we're just waiting for GMK to get back to us on our final quote request.

konstantin · « **Reply #132 on:** Thu, 31 October 2019, 17:01:17 »

Hey guys, after a few delays and some communication issues with GMK (the person in charge of Yugo went on vacation and it took some time for their colleague to get familiarized with the project), we got the final quote back last minute. We are now finalizing pricing with the vendors.

Because of this, we will have to postpone the start of the GB until Monday. The new dates are November 4th – December 18th 2019. We're very sorry for the delay!

konstantin · « **Reply #133 on:** Sun, 03 November 2019, 17:00:30 »

Hey guys, the kits are finalized and the pricing is in!
Good news: we've managed to include full UK ISO compatibility in the Capitalism kit without increasing the price for US buyers. It's a win for both sides of the pond.

Yugo 45 kit
€106 @ 250 MOQ

Capitalism kit
€34 @ 100 MOQ

Yugo 55 kit
€39 @ 100 MOQ

Cabrio kit
€28 @ 100 MOQ

Zastava kit
€46 @ 100 MOQ

Here's the pricing breakdown per vendor:

The zFrontier pricing should be coming in early tomorrow morning.

The RAL samples have also arrived, just in time for the GB.
We'll be using these to color check the keycap samples we receive from GMK. Below are professionally taken, white balanced photos of the chips.

The full album is available here.

All in all, it's super exciting to see the set that we've worked on so hard on finally go into GB. Yugo is our baby. We hope you'll enjoy it.
See you tomorrow!

Colors

Taking inspiration from the Yugo GV Sport (GV stands for “good value” lol), a special “sport” edition Yugo that was marketed in the US in the 80's, we've decided to go with a nice, sun-faded yellow as the base color for the whole set. The crimson, orange and brown accents were taken from the GV Sport's signature stripe.

Alphas and mods: RAL 095 90 20
Legends and accents: RAL 030 30 45
Stripes: RAL 050 50 60, RAL 030 30 45, RAL 040 20 19

Three of the spacebars have been pimped out with the signature orange–red–brown stripe of the Yugo GV Sport. This stripe will be UV printed on the front of the caps by GMK, giving you that retro SPORT look while not sacrificing durability.

edit: missed that there were two yellows in the full album of samples. see below answer

Hey everyone, the GB thread is up! The set is currently live on zFrontier, and the other vendors should follow by the end of the day. Prepare your wallets!

What are the two yellows in the photos? Which one is the one being used?

The other, yellower yellow is the initial base color we picked in the early stages of the set's design. We later decided that it might be too saturated and that a paler sun-faded yellow would be a better fit for the set's aesthetic. So that's what we settled on: RAL 095 90 20, the paler of the two yellows in the photos. The other one is RAL 095 90 30 (just 10 on the saturation scale can make quite a difference). Let us know if you think we made the right choice!
