Why ESFR kit having additional R2 E key?
Title: Re: [IC] GMK BLOT
Post by: mr_foggy on Sat, 11 February 2023, 07:00:47
any chance you could expand the ESFR kit to also include Italian? I’m used to ansi-us but it would be nice to have at least one GMK set in existence to support Italian.

apart from that, this is a really beautiful set I will buy for sure.

I will buy 2 sets to make sure more of my keyboards are getting the pleasure of having these keycaps
Awesome to see NORDEUK and ESFR set!

Maybe add clean Latin alpha set?
Title: Re: [IC] GMK BLOT
Post by: depletedvespene on Sat, 11 February 2023, 11:39:17
On the numpad... is it gonna be * and / (as it should be), the "in" but wrong fad of × and ÷ , or the mix that is present on the current render?

On the Andorran ESFR kit, is the interpunct sitting too low on Shift-3 just an artifact of the render, or will the kit be produced with that error?

Finally a GMK keyset that has ES/FR options. I will definitely consider buy it!
Title: Re: [IC] GMK BLOT
Post by: vhaarr on Sat, 11 February 2023, 13:21:31
Instabuy! Please consider:

1. Please please please add runes to the Nor keys Æ Ø Å. Which rune to pick is complicated, especially for "Ø", but really for all 3. Some candidates are ᛅ ᚰ ᚫ ᚯ, depending on which period you want to mimic and many other factors. I can just make an executive decision for you if you want, or you can read https://www.norron-mytologi.info/diverse/runeskrift.htm and others.
2. Rune-only alphas set (and corresponding nordeuk keys). I know GMK Norse considered it at some point but it never came to fruition. I don't need legends at all, so I'd rather just it look cool when sitting at my desk. Runes can be anything, they don't need to match what the key actually does. But I do want all the alpha 1U keys covered for Nor. And ideally the number keys as well.
3. Runic mods set, possibly in an inverted/darker red/soot colorway or something :D
4. Adding an R3 1.75U novelty

If you want me to make an executive decision for #1 then please let me know. I really hope you can get runes on those letters. Especially if you don't do #2. Which I really hope you do :D

Thank you!

In fact If the designer also offers a Cyrillic alphas child kit, that would be the most boss-ass, killer move. I’d love that personally and wholeheartedly support it.

If we do that, I feel like we will have serious problems, and It doesnt match the theme

After another look at the ESFR kit, I noticed a couple more oddities:

- R2 E is identical to the key in the base kit and seems to be an unnecesary duplication.
- R3 W seems to be entirely unnecesary (it's already on R4 in the kit, as the fr-FR layout requires).
- R4 M should be moved up to R3 (same reason).

See https://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/Interactive-Comparator-of-Different-National-Layouts/?left=esES&right=frFR (https://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/Interactive-Comparator-of-Different-National-Layouts/?left=esES&right=frFR).

Other than the AltGr keys, no keys are shared between the (es-)ES and the (fr-)FR subkits. Is it necessary to offer those two together, or could they be separated into their own kits? (perhaps even making es-ES+es-LA and fr-FR and fr-BE kits)

ESFR is a kit that needs more than one community to reach GMK MOQ, thats why we make them together. On the other hand, the render is wrong and will be changed today.

I'm joining the GB regardless, but I'd really appreciate if some more keys could be added to the spacebar kit, considering I'll have to pay for the child kit just to use the set on an Alice board. I'd add another 2u and maybe a 6u off-centered spacebar, like Polybius did, or add 2.25u and 2.75u spacebars to the base kit.
That's literally my only complaint, I absolutely love the color and the theme behind the set!

not sure to take this keycap set seriously when you clearly show no regard for other designer's original work. would probably be a good idea to at least take down photos/sales posts of clone gmk sets before selling your own...

Hi Ankit, it's very nice to see one of your posts here. Before I became a designer and worked for Eloquentclicks, I used to build keycaps for people who could only spend a limited amount of money on their keycaps. These people would ask me to build keyboards with different keycaps, including clones, which I would tell them what they were and why they were considered clones. That said, I don't regret my past at all, I was dedicated to give people with few resources keyboards with the keys they liked, being these same people who would never buy an expensive set. I myself, as an individual person, do not defend clones, but, in my personal case, if someone buys one of the sets in which I have participated as a clone because he has lost the GB and extras period or because he cannot afford it, I am not going to criticize him or expose him publicly. Although I know that you already have experience in that of exposing and bulling publicly.


cool story bro... except the posts show you selling an in-stock board with clone sets???  :-\

Although I know that you already have experience in that of exposing and bulling publicly.


cool story bro... except the posts show you selling an in-stock board with clone sets???  :-\

not sure to take this keycap set seriously when you clearly show no regard for other designer's original work. would probably be a good idea to at least take down photos/sales posts of clone gmk sets before selling your own...

Hi Ankit, it's very nice to see one of your posts here. Before I became a designer and worked for Eloquentclicks, I used to build keycaps for people who could only spend a limited amount of money on their keycaps. These people would ask me to build keyboards with different keycaps, including clones, which I would tell them what they were and why they were considered clones. That said, I don't regret my past at all, I was dedicated to give people with few resources keyboards with the keys they liked, being these same people who would never buy an expensive set. I myself, as an individual person, do not defend clones, but, in my personal case, if someone buys one of the sets in which I have participated as a clone because he has lost the GB and extras period or because he cannot afford it, I am not going to criticize him or expose him publicly. Although I know that you already have experience in that of exposing and bulling publicly.


i don't know why you're trying to vilify Ankit here. he's entirely right. you've been caught in a lie. you're being the ass. get a grip lmao. maybe delete this xx.

The hypocrisy is heinous. This dude claims he doesn’t defend clones, which in a way is true as he endorses them and profits off sell them.

He claims he’s a “designer” now but on his non-keyboard Twitter constantly mocks the artistic integrity of keyset designers, inferring they are simply changing/picking colors.

Community is based on respect, for which this guy clearly has absolutely none. Conduct all the business you want but pretending to care is as disrespectful as it gets. I for one, would be ashamed to have you drag my company’s name through the mud with such childish behaviour on this platform. Shame to see a vendor’s reputation damaged by someone who can’t control themselves or their blatant lies.

When I first met Manu (Keybros) at a keyboard meetup in Barcelona, he stroked me as a kid full of energy, optimism, and almost an obsession for keyboards. After chatting, it became clear that keyboards are his passion and that working for a keyboard vendor would be a dream come true.

As ELOQUENT CLICKS expanded, it became clear that I needed help, especially if we wanted to maintain a good reputation and awesome customer support. Because of this, I decided to give him the opportunity to work with us.

If I am honest, I was not aware of Manu's past in regard to these clones. As a vendor, we do not sell, condone, or support clones, and never will.

I have always hated drama. All I want to do is to work on what I love to do. Nonetheless, this is something that must be addressed and I will try to find a way to remedy this in whichever way I can.

And Keybros doesn't seem very apologetic about it.

This doesn't change the quality of this set or the fact that there's ES/FR kit on it which is unique.

The iso enter do be the brand of sacrifice from Berserk which is kinda funny.
At the end of the day is this a keycap set I'm interested in and would fork money over for? With 1.5-2 year groupbuy times for GMK being the norm, I'll pass.
The kitting is still good though and it's doing some things different versus other keysets, which I can appreciate, so I don't blame anyone for joining if they like the set.

As for the drama, it kept me entertained for a few minutes. If I'm a vendor, would I be a bit perturbed to run a set with someone who's unapologetically openly promoting clones, some of which I may have run and may run again in the future (that can hurt my business directly)?
Of course.

At the end of the day the designer will probably get paid for his work, because the set is already popular with the crowd from what I can see.
Much like living in Florida with my governor being Ron Desantis  :rolleyes:

After having a face to face meeting with Manu, we have agreed to the following points: 

First of all, Manu is deeply sorry to the designers and general public. He has spent a few days thinking over his actions and realized the importance of the situation. Not only this has impacted his own reputation in a negative way, but this has also splashed over the rest of the team at ELOQUENT.

In order to rectify this and avoid future confusion, we have agreed to eliminate all social media accounts that pertain to this past. We believe this is the best way to move forward. 

To conclude, at the end of the day, we all just want to work on something we love to do. We aim to move past this bad blood and not let this cloud our personal relations. 

Regarding the Berserk ISO enter novelty: It was not our intend to copy the work of others. Rather, we thought it was cool to use it as a reference or Easter egg (given that some of the theming relating blood and sacrifice are similar). I did not expect for the rune to be interpreted this way, so we are changing the ISO enter keycap design with a new rune. 

I would like to remind everybody that ELOQUENT keycap sets that are being designed are all uniquely designed and are original works. They are the work of multiple passionate team members, including myself and Manu

This set of keycaps is so beautiful, I would like it better if the big keys were English instead of icon.

just so you know the "big" keys generally categorized with all the non-alphabet keys are called "modifiers". it ofcourse would be nice it have a unique, original, and beautiful graphical design for modifiers for an original keycap set, but usually that is not what we get. we get either of these 3 options:
1 - modifiers are text + icon (this is the default and most common) you can see this design not only on "designer" sets like this, but on every $20 set on amazon and ebay and alibaba
2 - icon only. this is what you see here in this design
3 - text only. the rarest and therefore the best.

now by experience i know that the most common is icon + text but i personally like it the least because it is common and it is available on all common designs on amazon and ebay as mentioned. having said that i know most people demand this. the reason being that most people suck. then the 2nd common is icon only which i much prefer to the previous one. But text only i like the best because its rarest. now you are ofcourse entitled to have a different opinion, all is subjective.

No, they don't have an IP on every shade of red, but it's similar enough a shade of red that adding cyrillic legends would basically make it discount perestroika. There's nothing that makes perestroika inherently unique as you say, but it's the combination of the Maroon red, the Cyrillic legends and the icon mods that make it what it is. This set with cyrilic legends would be extremely similar.

There's nothing that makes perestroika inherently unique as you say, but it's the combination of the Maroon red, the Cyrillic legends and the icon mods that make it what it is. This set with cyrilic legends would be extremely similar.

spoke like someone with bunch of sealed perestroika ready to scalp

RNDKBD said on their Discord that they are pulling out as the Canadian vendor. Are there any other Canadian vendors lined up?

Nice. Now Canadian fans of the set can get a good vendor.

I see a duplicate Ñ in base and ESFR kit?

I'd love 2x 1.5U Super (and extra 1u Alt) for HHKB and Mac somewhere though.

Is the GB thread already up?, thanks!
EDIT: Seems like the pictures are not the same for all vendors, I see some of them showing a "Ñ" key, while others don't.

Hi! Which vendor is showing the ''ñ'' in the base kit? about the GB post, we are waiting for the approval  ;)

Not in the Base but one of the Child Kits: AshKeebs lists a kit named "ESFR" wich has an "Ñ" on it, while Mekibo doesn't have that kit listed. On the other hand, Mekibo has an "Outsiders" kit while AshKeebs does not, probably AshKeebs listing shows that kit as "Alt Alphas" but I'm unsure since the corresponding image does not loads.

Yeah I second this, GMK Nord was hilarious, if not awful for the backers, if this joins the ranks...

its not GMKs fault if desigers approve faulty colors.
