[IC] GMK Trays (Updated 8/18/15) Cyrillic Alphas and Red Mods put on hold

[LechnerDE]

Just filled the interest form.

Count me in for one of everything 

[lunr]

bit of a long shot but any chance you will do text-less for the modifiers? definitely will be interested if they were textless.

[ejizhan]

nice.nice.nice   I  like this very much!!!! :-*Waiting it for a long-long time.
What time released?I'll buy a lot of sets

[shower_king]

just for TKL keyboard , without number pad ,with incomplete F zone...has little compatability for normal and usual keyboard.
If possible ,please add number pad, if not , any possiblity for complete F zone, ranging from F1 to F12?
try something new and creative may bring pleasue. however, in pursuit for pleasure at the cost of compatability is another thing .
GOOD LUCK

We've received updated mockups for red alphas. These keys are very close to the final key choice, as it seems to be the best of both worlds. Please let us know what you think.





Cyrillic will most likely stay the same as in the OP, there will also be a WASD kit.

We're looking into a numpad set right now, and are deciding on what keys to include. If you have any preferences for numpad specific keys, please let us know.

[quochung1989]

I prefer to add:

1. Windowed caps at Capslock, Scrollock positions
 (for boards haven't stand-off led). I think windowed caps is better.
2. F5-F8 ( Red on White)
I knew that almost people like F5-F8 (White on Red) than. But if this can take more order, hope you 'll consider my offer.

I really would love to see a windowed caps

I can agree with #1, but #2 seems to be a bit of a stretch since I think a great majority prefer alternating functions

Too many changes... The cyrillic alphas set should stay exactly the way it is, its perfect the way it is, maybe add a R1 \| key for HHKB layouts but other than it is perfect.. I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to accomplish with the red mod set though. It is starting to go all over the place.

I totally agree with this.

The more keys, the higher price.

numpad set 

R1 1u Num，*，/，-
and 2u Enter，2u +

enough for me

awesome, that's enough for me too

[swimmingbird]

While we're at it why don't we add an Ergodox set, dvorak and colemak support, 1800 support, extra shift key for fc660 users

+1, getting a mockup and addons is one thing, reaching the MOQ is another yet most important
I've pretty sure that cryllic would go well with Photeq upcoming beige and I thought it's the initial target which is to compliment the beige

[effectiveduck]

I don't really see the point in adding F1-F4 and F9-F12 keys as they're included as part of the classic beige, especially with red alphas, doesn't even work if you just buy these 2 sets.

I think the original mock-ups were perfect, but still gonna buy both and classic beige.

Agreed

[luckyryan333]

As all you know, to much is as bad as too little.

[HelixDan]

i prefer to add numpad mod, most of people there have numpad or Cherry full layout keyboard，but less than half of the people have ErgoDox, HHKB, FC660 and some...

I have HHKB and ErgoDox, but I got the feeling adding numpad kit into the RED mod is more worthy than adding these kit(HHKB and ErgoDox)

Just seems like it's turning too much into it's own set, rather than a few add-ons to Classic Beige. If you wanna do your own thing that's cool, but make it one set (full size w/ cyrillic alpha's on maybe white or black then red mods as a side buy would be my recommendation).

Adding a numpad kit to the red mod kit will jump the price a good amount and I don't think it will be worth it for most people.

If there's that many people who use a numpad they can be run separately
I doubt it would hit MOQ

i do not know it will jump how much, additional $10?, i could less smoking or write a few codes

umm, if there's that many people who don't use a numpad they can be run a whole new group that name "forever TKL"

that sounds awesome, right? bro

I am gonna guess more than $10 dollars. I would say at least $15 and for some people, myself included, a $15 dollar difference is a big deal, especially seeing as I don't use a numpad.

Most people actually use TKL. For the year or so I have been on here, I don't believe I have seen a Numpad kit run in a GB like this as they don't hit MOQ. The full sets purchased especially those from GMK always include a numpad which is enough for most people as these kits are meant for accent pieces. If a numpad is added, it might as well be sold as a full kit.

more than $15? if so, it is a little bit expensive

  two TKLer here, but i wish Red Mod(with Numpad kit) could make it have a new look 

[radio_killah]

So in my opinion the red mod set is a bit too much and won't hit moq. I think just stick to your guns and go with the Cyrillic alphas as that's sure to be a hit with beige.

I feel that the red modpack is getting too large.

I don't think many people will use the F1-F4, F9-F12, please remove them from the red mockpack since it isn't even red!

Also I love the red spacebars; please run them for sure.

It is meant to go with the upcoming GMK Classic Beige Group Buy which Photekq will be running SoonTM.

[KappaKapps]

The team has decided to postpone Red Mods for a month or two down the line. Feel free to keep on discussing what you want to see in the set.

We will go ahead with Cyrillic Alphas and the WASD Pack in one week, to coordinate with Classic Beige.

These are the final mockups:





If there are any more questions regarding Cyrillic, feel free to post in the thread.

[radio_killah]

What's the point of the wasd kit? I think I missed it in earlier comments.

[madhias]

Maybe just a poor man's cyrillic set? Or for gamers to change the worn out WASD caps?

[Blackhawk]

Any word on the final pricing?

[KappaKapps]

What's the point of the wasd kit? I think I missed it in earlier comments.

The main purpose is for gamers who may wear down their WASD keys faster than other keys. Also, those who buy classic beige and want a little splash of Cyrillic on their keyboard can use this. We haven't received final pricing on the WASD kit, but it should be relatively cheap, so grab a few sets just in case.

That would be fairly disturbing, especially since KappaKaps picked up a good quantity of BillNye's Bluegaloo mods to resell with "all profits going to charity."
