GMK Brown on Beige

The inspiration for this set was the OG Cherry dyesub keycaps from the NCR G81-3077SAU, that had faded to a nice brown colour.

IC Form Discord

Base Kit

Hangul Kit

Colour Codes

Alphas - GMK L9
Mods - GMK CB
Legends - RAL8017

I sat at Geonworks with a GMK colour ring and his NCR G81-3077SAU comparing the two and we both came to the conclusion that CB and L9 more closely matches the NCR.

I originally planned to run 3K alphas since I really like the colour contrast but decided to go with the more original one instead.

Let me know in the IC form if you would like to see 3K alphas instead. Photo will be in the form.

I'll try whip up another R0/R5 kitting. Hopefully it hits MOQ

Interested!

This is pretty

Theman2k · « **Reply #9 on:** Fri, 23 June 2023, 03:24:41 »

That's nice but pricy, Hineybeige and Classic beige exist and are still available for pre order.

densus designs · « **Reply #10 on:** Fri, 23 June 2023, 04:41:03 »

ThicThacThok based, Cafege based!
Will buy!

ZavaZ86 · « **Reply #11 on:** Fri, 23 June 2023, 05:04:53 »

135$ seems high for what the basekit is. Looks more like sub 125$ but otherwise looking good

Brown never lost, this is awesome

LMarci · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 23 June 2023, 06:17:50 »

Looks good but too expensive

Arrinura · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 23 June 2023, 11:59:39 »

3K > L9 alphas

Consider Sys Rq and Break side print on Prt Sc and Pause. Ashkeebs as the Canadian vendor, please.

Bunn3y · « **Reply #15 on:** Fri, 23 June 2023, 12:22:43 »

Great looking set. Can't fault with more beige.

Also, echoing what the poster above me have said, please consider changing/adding the legends to fit with the OG NCR board.

GMKClassicRed · « **Reply #16 on:** Fri, 23 June 2023, 12:23:32 »

Can you include R3 Home and R2 Delete?

Thought I'd add this as well to fit with OG NCR.

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #18 on:** Fri, 23 June 2023, 14:39:51 »

Brown accents? Brown numrow? I'm in without it but I think there might be a few of us who would roll w a brown alert look on a beige board.

I love R0 and I'd buy a kit but I'm one of a very small subset of people.

Everyone who thinks the pricing is high should remember what MOQ 250 pricing used to look like. Base kits were more than this.

caap · « **Reply #19 on:** Fri, 23 June 2023, 22:22:54 »

Hi lovely set^^

The renders in the kitting show double Hangul sublegends but the keyboard renders show single sublegends. Which would it be?

howGoodAreKeyboards · « **Reply #20 on:** Sat, 24 June 2023, 00:12:24 »

on the wishlist

Rhienfo · « **Reply #21 on:** Sat, 24 June 2023, 00:12:52 »

Very cool. Love the inspiration behind the project. As other people have said I do agree that 3K might be the best option to go here when it comes to the alphas, and maybe to fit with the theme more, replicate the keycaps on that NCR board as someone else said, if it is possible. I do think the price is a bit much for a beige set, so if it can be done I would love to see the price lowered down a bit or make it worth the price (such as maybe replicating the NCR Board keycaps, but that would probably make it more expensive if the price is already at 135).

Hinkerbottom · « **Reply #22 on:** Sat, 24 June 2023, 12:45:48 »

this looks really great. i’m in as long as you keep R5 bottom row and double consonants for the hangul kit. gl!

+1 to matching legends to OG NCR, but it’s not a deal maker/breaker for me personally. 3K> too.

ph4nt0m · « **Reply #23 on:** Sat, 24 June 2023, 15:34:14 »

Could you please include R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn?

VoodooBear · « **Reply #24 on:** Sun, 25 June 2023, 00:29:48 »

3 key 40's support (1.75u Back, 1.5 Ent., 1.25 Tab) would be lovely.

HubertThemad · « **Reply #25 on:** Mon, 26 June 2023, 09:25:37 »

Match made in heaven with the upcoming Glare65 GB in Goat Brown. GLWIC

Thanks for this, I'll try my best to match all the legends and side prints to be inline with the NCR.

Beige good.

Would love a dedicated Canadian vendor please

Dmitri · « **Reply #31 on:** Thu, 06 July 2023, 12:41:42 »

a retro beige set without sublegend, tempting.

missing a spacebar kit

gfreeman11898 · « **Reply #32 on:** Thu, 06 July 2023, 14:25:07 »

Please consider OG design for print screen, scroll lock, and pause, see GMK Hineybeige.

marcin_nyga · « **Reply #33 on:** Fri, 07 July 2023, 15:16:18 »

it's not better to produce a set at keykobo?

pr0ximity · « **Reply #34 on:** Fri, 14 July 2023, 11:20:42 »

Maybe controversial take, but if it helps to get the price down skip the windowed keys. GMK's pad printing has been really bad lately, and I'm someone who loves windowed caps.

Very cool idea otherwise, I also prefer K3.

actress · « **Reply #35 on:** Fri, 14 July 2023, 13:57:52 »

please keep the windowed keys

Furki · « **Reply #36 on:** Sun, 16 July 2023, 12:27:59 »

Brown alphas look dope!
I'll definetely consider it together with the Hangul alphas!

boku · « **Reply #37 on:** Wed, 19 July 2023, 16:51:28 »

There seems to be a few different groups of people interested in this set for different reasons, I fall amongst the brown lovers and would LOVE to see brown accents or brown alert style number row. Like some said before me, brown keyboards are gaining in popularity and this set would be a match made in heaven for them.

Mcnos · « **Reply #38 on:** Mon, 31 July 2023, 17:45:15 »

Considering this is imitating NCR Dye Subs, why not run with a PBT manufacturer unless it's for R0/R5 and that's a requirement if so, hit up CRP/Hammer?

Also, idk if I'm in the minority or maybe i didnt let my NCR sit in the sun long enough but did 3077 legends turn brown when fading?

thicthacthok · « **Reply #39 on:** Wed, 27 September 2023, 19:14:23 »

It's been a while since I've checked back on this post but the set is going to run guaranteed. I'm hoping for mid to late Q1 2024.
I've read through all the feedback and comments and will try to accommodate for everyone.
I'll check back in by November or December with a revised kitting that will hopefully satisfy the majority.
Thank you all for your patience.
