What does this mean
For some reason this feels too soon, like the colorway feels almost stale to look at (which is weird because i LOVE my JTK arctic, and LOVE the set). probably because KAT arctic is in the process of being fulfilled still . Seeing KAT arctic come back after a long period of unavailability after JTK arctic was really welcoming but this one feels like it doesn't give kat arctic time to have it's glory or something. sad to see the novelties change too because i liked those a lot!
I mean, I'm probably going to be in for base, but this IC feels rushed when the GB is set for Jan 2022, should have at least waited until you had a render of the base kit. Either way yes to GMK Artic lol
the renders are set in it's purest form of color
I'm really just using this as an IC instead of a hype thread. Rather get input on everything before I actually use someone's time going back and forth between renders and kits. I'm also going to be really busy for the next few months so I wanted to get something out there before this becomes an afterthought.

You've run Artic twice now but you're using an IC to gather early stage feedback? This is confusing af. Also, you couldn't be bothered to render your kits first, not even in KLE? C'mon man.

It would have cost you $0 to not type this garbage.
The man is making a product he doesn't owe you anything. Why are you so entitled. If you feel it's low effort move on with your day and don't but the set.
Get a hobby (preferably not keyboards we don't need your toxicity)
Good to see this set return.
- Is it possible to make the blue as the primary mod color and use the grey as accents?
- Canadian vendor please?
Regardless, looking forward to kitting and more renders :D
Adding an extra B and alice spacebars in the base kit would be nice. Please consider a Canadian vendor, like deskhero.

LMAO 1 post account that doesn't think an IC is supposed to have kit renders. If you think it's toxic to ask for kit renders then maybe this ain't the hobby for ya.

Ah yes.
A toxic reply attacking my irrelevant post count because you can't mister up the character to have even a semblance of self reflection and look on your toxicity with outside eyes.
I really hope that works for you in life.
Hope your personal relationship succeed and wish you the best of luck in growing as a person :)

BASE KIT BASE KIT BASE KIT BASE KIT BASE KIT BASE KIT BASE KIT BASE KIT BASE KIT BASE KIT BASE KIT. If you don't have terminal ISO in your base kit then me, and many others straight up just aren't interested in buying your poorly kitted set. You can make an international kit with regional characters if you want but terminal ISO support should be in every base kit. At the very least support the layout, no need to add anything else.
Just copy Handarbeit or Analog Dreams kitting. Big base kits and high MOQ are the way to go if you want a decently priced GMK set nowadays.
Disclaimer: There is no kits yet as I want your input before I start putting pieces together.
damn text + icon mods but I also completely understand given that JTK/KAT had the option of icon mods already. looking forward to seeing the kitting
surely there has to be a better sea vendor than DailyClack right? ilumkb, monokei,hex? isnt dailyclack normally a vendor for OCE instead
ne kitting avail?

Geekhack has become reddit, I swear. Be constructive. Don't just ask for kitting; Tell them what you want/expect. You've got 4 comments on the first page and none of them say what you want other than renders that would have inevitably changed anyways. You've expressed a more thoughtful comment about people quitting the hobby due to not being as toxic as you than you have about having an actual interest in this set. Yikes. As for me, just copy Handerbeit R2 kitting as best you can and I'll be picking this up. I already own KAT Arctic, but GMK is my preferred profile so this is a no-brainer.

I agree Handarbeit is a good reference, I believe I'll be referencing that closely.

i think unless MOQ is high the size of this kit might price some customers out from buying your set. personally i would slim it down for a sub $130 target price if needed
its a nice kit though! GLWIC

Love. I'm assuming all those top 1us are R1?

Base kit is nice and large; not really sure why there are extra 1u Ctrls and Alts in Base when only the original G8X-18XX layouts use them - does that imply the 6u in base has an off-center stem?
Also consider 3-key 40s support, 10% attachment rate might not be great depending on the MOQ you run at
Could you please add a R3 pgup and a R4 pgdn to the base kit? I believe that those using a 65% keyboard (including me) would urgently need it. Thank you for your work and it is fabulous :)
Is is possible to add R3 pgup and R4 pgdn?

Agreed. The second pair of 1u Ctrl and Alt keys are not necessary, and neither is 6u spacebar in base. It would be good to drop those keys (esp. the expensive spacebar) to make room for some more useful options, such as 3-key 40s support, R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn, or 2× 1.5u Super.
I also think the accent arrow keys could be moved to the spacebars kit, if needed.
Speaking of the spacebars kit, the blue variants of 2c, 2.25c, 2.75c are not strictly necessary and could be removed; and the 1c, 1.25c, 3c bars changed to white so they can be combined with the existing spacekeys in base. This way of splitting keys between the base and spacebars kit has a proven track record, and it's how a lot of new sets do it.
The base kit currently appears to have three 2.25u Shift keys. Assuming that's a render error and that one of them is supposed to be 2u, I would actually suggest dropping that 2u. This is because you're currently trying to squeeze too many keys into the base kit, and it's likely just going to come back around and bite you in the back.
The use case for 2u Shift is twofold: 1) GK64 and Minila support; 2) makeshift 2u Alice space. Unless you're planning on specifically targeting the East Asian market with this set (which is where GK64 and Minila are popular), use case 1 is quite rare; and since you have proper Alice support in the base kit, use case 2 doesn't even apply. Therefore, there is no substantial benefit to including 2u Shift.
Similar arguments could be made for the second 1u Ctrl key and the 6u spacebar. This goes back to the point of replacing all of these keys with more useful options, listed above.Could you please add a R3 pgup and a R4 pgdn to the base kit?

+1
The 3rd 2.25 was a mistake I uploaded the incorrect render. Should be updated now. I'll think about the other suggestions once I get quotes back
Anyways, please have an inclusive base kit which contains physical iso support. We're in 2021 now, big base kit is the way.
Would you consider adding 2x 1.5 Code keys for those that use mac/*nix and Tsangan bottom row?
I can't wait!

I don't think I've seen a set do that before.

This is a fairly common thing. Here are some examples: 1 (https://i.imgur.com/VF7H8eW.png), 2 (https://i.imgur.com/zNc30zY.jpg), 3 (https://i.imgur.com/6iUCjpS.png), 4 (https://i.postimg.cc/zG9sGv26/BaseTrue.jpg), 5 (https://i.imgur.com/I8Lw8iL.png). And here's how those keys rank (https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/764334914413133835/888824359026831360/unknown.png) in terms of usefulness/commonness compared to some other options.
I can't wait for this.
will have icon kit?
I don’t think so, there’s plenty enough kits and I think adding something like icons would be hindering the rest of the MOQ.

When can we get our hands on this? Been waiting on this longer than Tidal
