- Added 2 heart key, R1 F13 as well as R1 = to extensions kit

I feel dumb but I need to ask, is the 2 heart key a reference to something in particular? in the UK or in the hobby?

Thats totally understandable, but getting these kits made at all is decidedly not a sure thing. Still waiting to hear on beige extensions but the 2 week numbers weren't good and with other vendors mightve had several kits canceled.

Originally was from a 1800HAU. Emir made a new mold with GMK Rouge. mcmcmc is making a new "fixed" mold with GMK Beige Addon & Extension that is available to everyone to use. Photos of the OG cherry board can be found in both threads.

Resubmitted for quotes a few days ago with the new kitting. Will be running as soon as we get those in as the kits are basically final at this point

If the extensions kit is meant to cover the UK-keyboard-layout, it is missing the row four pipe backslash key.

GMK WoB from Drop already comes with a r4 pipe so full UK ISO is covered. I guess including it for other WoB sets out there could be a consideration but majority of people will be buying this to upgrade their standard WoB.

R4 pipe was included originally but as Fran mentioned, it is redundant as this set is meant to be an add-on to drop's GMK white on black which already has it.

The R4 pipe is rare out of complete sets like Drop's. It is a shame that it cannot be included.

Drop GMK WoB, GMK Originative, GMK Originative Cyrillic, GMK Originative Japanese, and GMK Cyrllic WoB all have UK-ISO in their base or R4 pipe keys. I'm not sure what base kit you are talking about when you are requesting for this single key. Other sets like GMK Griseann (R1) are so incredibly rare that it would be completely useless to add to this kit. Drop GMK WoB has 12.9k sales listed on drop dwarfing literally every other WoB set and is what this set is designed to complement.

Can you please point to specific popular WoB sets that would require us to add R4 pipe?

Thank you for pointing out that this set is to complement Drop's sets. I thought that this may serve to complement US ANSI OG sets to be compatible with the UK layout, also. My mistake.

We're still waiting on Cherry for rights to use their logo. Cherry should've reopened offices after the Christmas break so hopefully we hear back from them soon. Once we get that, it's just a matter of picking the MOQ and date as we have everything else ready to go.

It's seems I'm a bit late to the party since you are pretty set on the current kits but I do have to ask why not just make the CMYW kit identical to the CMYK kit from the Beige Addon Extension run? Is 1.25u Fn not as common as I think it is? Also why include 2 1u Fn keys?

If I had WOB or was planning to get it, I would buy ALL kits.

But I am team beige (and purple).  :'(

I wish you lots of luck with this GB. Kitting looks really good.  :-*

Btw any chance for CMYW render or pic with WOB?

- The 2 1u Fn keys allow you to get the most usage out of the kit for split right shift users, allowing people to use both R4 and R5 accents with split right shift -- one with icon shifts and one with text + icon
- 1.25 Fn is not needed. Adding another color would increase the price of the set considerably and having that many colors on the bottom row looks cluttered/ugly. Using the black Fn looks better to us.

I assure you that the kitting decisions made were well considered.

CMYW accent kits already exist and photos are readily available.
Photos do a better job of showcasing this set than renders can  :thumb:

When many sets are failing to hit MOQ, the last thing you’d want to do is have more kits. Even if that weren’t the case, I wouldn’t have split the kits anyway because the kitting can fit any 2 boards easily and can fit upto 4 depending on the layouts. There’s a reason addon kits like these have never been split in the past.

Waiting on vendors to come back with pricing still, some vendors wanted to wait until this weekend to base their pricing on the most up to date conversion rates.
Pricing likely won't be announced before Monday but Blunt or I will update here & discord if we here back before then. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

For years they've searched, their quest unfulfilled,
For keycaps with UK keys that fit the bill,
They scoured the web, they asked around,
But nowhere were these keycaps to be found.

But lo and behold, what's this they see?
A group purchase, just for me!
The keycaps they've longed for, oh so rare,
Are finally within their grasp to bear.

With trembling hands, they hit "add to cart",
A rush of joy that fills their heart,
They've waited so long, it's hard to believe,
That finally, these keycaps they'll receive.

And when they arrive, the moment's divine,
They'll place them on their keyboard, oh so fine,
The wait was worth it, they can finally say,
For these keycaps will brighten up their day.
