I like this! Please make a windowed key!

you managed to get 2 out of 2 names in a 5 word sentence wrong, bravo
Yay, super excited for this.
Maybe I'm the only person who's perplexed by this, but I've noticed that the '/' mod-pipe sublegend is on the upper half of the key in newer GMK cyrillic kits, instead of on the bottom like in older GMK sets or OG hasro/sav. Anyone knowledgeable can explain why this is the case?
Would much prefer the '/' being on the bottom for the sake of accuracy if it's possible.
ETA: Similar thing with the 'Ë' sublegend as well

ETA: Similar thing with the 'Ë' sublegend as wellBoth variants exist on the original keyboards when it comes to that legend. It's all a matter of manufacturing date; Cherry changed the position at some point.
What currently running sets would this conflict with if it included mods or was a base kit.seconding this question.
Proper pipe sublegend placement is on top 'cause this follows the logic when you hold Shift to enter the secondary legend (Shift + , → < and etc). Ё follows the same logic as well (it's primary legend in Cyrillic layout, so should go on the bottom).

why isn't this a base kit?
I also prefer the split bar to the pipe (full vertical line) aesthetics-wyse; yet, if the change would be made, all the pipes in the set should be split for consistency. However, in practice, the split bar character is not used anymore. Maybe you want to enlighten us on any actual use for it, in any language.

It is true that it's not used anymore but I prefer keeping the aesthetics similar to the original, that's all.
Vendors announced!

As a guy who's actually using a RU layout, several things piss me off with 99% of Cyrillic sets on the market (and are the reason why I still don't own a single Cyrillic set despite typing in RU daily):Check out my WoB Red Cyrillic set. Wink-wink.

OP has a chance to make a set that's actually not plagued by all of these problems, but then we'll need Ё in the bottom, red "/" in the top. You can check how RU layout works here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/keyboards/kbdru.html.
Jeez, one more time: Especially early OG dyesubs on HASRO have totally different colors! Alphas not "cherry beige", it's milky-white, dark-white. It's would be better if you made GMK set with custom colors, or just call this set HAV.
I left this comment on the IC, just duplicating it here for visibility: Please do try to get a UK vendor...
No updates sadly as I have no EU or UK vendors. I've already reached out to most of them and they have declined.
Some SAVs had additional 3 Ukrainian and 2 Belorussian caps.
I am thinking. Maybe this might be better on CP.
As some comment mentioned OG being more white than L9.
(edit: I forgot that all subs are pad printed lol my bad)
Just to be clear, this set has pad printed subs right? (edit: I forgot that all subs are pad printed lol my bad)

Yes the sub legends would be pad printed. I own GMK Classic retro Cyrillic and used to own NOS SAV and can say the pad printed version looks stunning in person.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/NyIvrpP.jpeg)

Potential update soon.
stunning. i am crying seeing this pic. :-[
omg if this update is something along these lines: "going to upgrade to full base kit". then please include xbox backspace, like in GMK Retro. And also please include icon legends with purse Caps Lock, like GMK 9009 R1. :p

Is it true that UK and EU buyers won’t buy into a set with only NA & SEA & Aussie vendors?yes. shipping costs and VAT would literally double the price for us.
Any update on this? Not sure what update is necessary other than confirming/deciding a GB period tbhprice negotiation between manu and vendors, picking more vendors, evaluating color samples, finalizing kitting, there's a bunch of things to do whether you realize it or not

no my assumption is just that you're making things too easy by expecting something that's not granted. maybe it's been put on hold? cancelled? postponed? no way to know except patiently waiting.Any update on this?

Oh? I wasn't aware that GMK L9/U9 had to be "evaluated", it must be a new combination of stock GMK colors no one's ran before. Not sure if you have read the thread but OP has announced vendors literally 1 year ago, and since kitting hasnt been updated for more than that, how is it not pertinent to ask for updates on what more we're waiting on? Oh, unless OP has been facilitating price negotiation between GMK and the already announced vendors for over a year now, which is your assumption.
but are we really that price sensitive in this crazy hobby?the hobby being expensive means it's ok to spend big, not spend stupid.
i still love GMK but ppl think there's no merit to choose GMK as a manu...https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=120388.msg3164073#msg3164073
for some reasons, i agree to some extent but i really want this gb goes well

Why are the vendors saying no? Are they concerned about this set not hitting MOQ? Or are we getting political now? X)

It's like Koen Roemers justifying Perestroika will not be remade : he can argue a lot about what his intention was while designing the set but
