[IC] GMK BoW Cyrillic

[Mangas]

Hello everyone!
 

 
I'm very happy to present to you a simple BoW (WS1 & CR) set with Cyrillic Alphas and Icon+Text modifiers . This is inspired by Tom's  Beige and WoB Cyrillic that ran a litle while ago , before publishing the IC I have made sure to get permission to run this from the designer .

Info on the sublegends
This set will be using the same doubleshot sublegends as GMK Beige & WoB Cyrillic :
 
- grave, Q, W, E, U, I, O, P, ], A, S, G, K, L, semi-colon, apostrophe, Z, X, B, M, comma, period: all using T0mb3ry's mono Cyrillics as sublegends
- R, T, Y, [, D, F, H, J, C, V, N: all using Cherry Latin as sublegends
- the '/' tertiary legend on the pipe key has been put in the top right to be more accurate to the way it's used
- Ë position changed to bottom right of the keycap to be consistent with the rest of the Cyrillic. This is a change that Cherry made in their later Cyrillic boards that hasn't translated through to a lot of modern sets.

Feel free to leave any feedback and suggestions here. We would really appreciate you filling out the IC form if you haven’t already.
Special thanks once again to Tom  for making the doubleshot legends possible , to iinko providing me the initial cyrillic template to make the renders and to all the people who helped me with the kitting.
Thank you so much for your interest

Consider navigation subs on numpad. Looks empty compared to alphas and mods.

Will keep that in mind , thanks for the observation !

[dededecline]

Some 40s support in base or extensions would be appreciated

[Lysol_]

ne macro/XT support for the extension kit?

[Kokaloo]

hello there
40's please
thank you

also, what's the reasoning for the same tab and backspace found in the base kit in the extensions?
the alt gr keys are also a bit weird too, i often don't see both alt and altgr offered, it's usually one or the other
seems like a lot of duplicated keys

[ankit]

what's the second 2u backspace and  1.5u tab in extensions for? 24 seconds slower than kokaloo

[The0rigina1]

No 40s support? based.

[Mr Chrome]

I was sad to see ePBT BoW Cyrillic put on standby so I’ll be watching this.

Extension kit is hot if you can use the logo. Maybe make the logo smaller for the windowed R1 key? Looks like a tight fit. Might look better with some more white space near the top edge to better match other keys.

I was told the second set of tab/BS is especially useful if you wanted to use alternatives alhpas from another set and that BoW is pretty versatile so including them couldn't hurt for anyone doing a mix/match of sets .
I am open to removing them if you think that is redundant .

About 40's , I think the base is quite big already and I am not sure if I could add 3key support in there . Maybe it would be a good idea to add the 3key 40's into the extension kit instead of the duplicated backspace + tab .
About Alt / Alt Gr , I think it would be pretty nice for people who buy the extension kit to be able to pick and choose between the different alts , but again I am open to any kitting suggestions .

[AstraRus]

idk about this one
as for me, ePBT one looks better

[LXVRGS]

like the clean numpad, wouldnt mind seeing a r1 or r2 = key instead of a second - key for the numpad personally

[LaserCrafter]

Looks pretty nice. For me personally, i think using qarmaa’s cyrillic sublegends would be pretty cool to see. Also also i feel like this should be an addon to sets like Classic BoW.

[SwitchKeys]

Call me crazy, but are those renders a little cool (tending more towards WS2) than WS1?

I know gmk is better for kitting, but I really have to wonder if it's worth it to have a set that is basically just BoW but more interesting done by them given how royally screwed up their production queue is. I know other manufacturers would mean losing the windowed kit at the very least. But damn, It would be lovely to get a cap set before some people on the forum get their doctorate.

Lol.

[KBKlon]

Is this WS2?

[The0rigina1]

Like it a lot more after the nav subs on numpad. Will definitely join if financially able.

[Mangas]

Added Macro keys into the extension kit

In for an Extension Kit!

[Plaketdebeur]

It would be interesting to have a child kit with only the cyrillic characters ( like taiga or perestroika)
