[IC] YURI R1 GMK (Cherry profile)

[Meitachi]

This is all speculation and guesstimating obviously - should easily have at least one month in between releases.

Thanks for the info!  It seems there are a bunch of great sets dropping soon (I forgot about laser, another awesome looking set).  Time to get the wallet prepared!

Plum, Andes Mint, Yuri, SNES, Laser. Good year for GMK keysets!

Indeed, don't forget Black Lotus and Nautilus.

So many good choices! My poor wallet can't handle all the ones I want. Choices, choices...!

[paulforgione]

Pretty sure I'll be joining when this drops. That orangey salmon pink is my color. 

[hoq]

 

A must buy keyset!

[jebbra]

Ok here is the combo in the mix with different light conditions.

Mix of artificial/natural light:

Natural light only:

Keep in mind you cant transfer the mood and the feel to the eye with a camera. In person the whole looks 200% better than on these pictures. I cant get the words to explain how powerfull the colors are and how they complete each other as a whole. Looking at it in person i cant wait to see the real set.

Would this set run this year?

Not this year. I hope i can get a spot first half of 2017.

I thought the alphas will be more blue than that, because the render give the "pale blue" impression while the sample color still give a "white" impression for me.

For mockups i took the color code of Signature Plastics BFM color sample. There is ofcorse some differences between BFM and GMK sample, but they are so close that i dont mind making a big deal out of it. Keep also in mind the color is more vivid in person than showed in the photo. Probably my equipment cant catch that color properly or i dont know how to catch it properly (because i am beginner). Anyway on my ips monitor which i hope can display 98% of all colors properly (with the best adjustments i've found in the internet), the colors of samples and the mockups look very close.

Just another pic of sample with automated white correction...

How about include add-on kit for dvorak layout?

I was thinking about that already.

Любой каприз за ваши деньги. Which means actually as long as people are interested and are ready to pay, everything is possible.

[T0mb3ry]

By the way i've forgot to tell: the photo also cant deliver the neon touch of the orange sample.

Ooooooo that last pic with the white correction just got me so excited. That one really caught the pale blue

[T0mb3ry]

You people have to keep in mind doing suggestions, that every kit (except the international kit) will  have moq of 150. It costs me only my time to introduce new kits. Anyway i think doing so, i need to consider if its worth doing it. Right now i cant say anything about the colemak and dvorak kit, but in my opinion they deserve a try. Honestly, for me the most important thing is the base set. Everything else is nice to have and is very welcome. I deeply hope everything tips and everyone get the set and the kits he wants to get.

As mentioned before Base set will be its own drop. After Base set shows some impressive numbers other kits will be unlocked.... Either if Base set does not that well, then there is no sense to offer other kits, as these will not tip.

I wonder if there is a need for a separate blue spacebar kit especially since the base set already have the 3 longer spacebars (6.25u, 6u and 7u). What if the 4 shorter ones are added to the existing orange spacebar kit? In a way, that would help with the MOQ too. Hopefully anyone thinking to pick up the additional spacebar kit would like to have more options.

[Vigrith]

edit: yep tripping, my bad, just saw the GMK sample pic above.

There are definitely people who will jump in just for the extra spacebars. Separating spacebars from the smaller keys will make the kits probably impossible to tip. Also despite these will be sold other MD its still is a GROUP BUY, which means you have to carry each other to achieve a goal (in this case getting items you want). This is nothing for selfish people. The participant have to accept to buy some keys they dont need, because either there is no possibility to get these.

In that matter it would be wise to merge orange spacebars and blue spacebars, for the purpose to make those tip. But i let it be for this time.

Yup, agree. As it stands now, there will be duplicate of 3 alpha colour spacebars (6.25u, 6u and 7u) in the blue spacebar kit which also exist in the base kit. Which is why I suggest adding those 4 smaller alpha colour spacebars (1.75u, 2u, 2.25u and 2.75u) to the orange spacebar kit. Make it less kits.

Auto WB is a Godsend. That photos giving the same vibe with mockups. I'm excited

DAYYUMMM ALL NON-QWERTY USER MUST LOOK AT THIS ADD-ON!

I never tempted at GMK because I use Colemak and never bother to ask because the MOQ (I look at Yuri because Cyrillic = handsome blanks).
But maybe The Great T0mb3ry could change it all! 

[srang]

I agree that it makes sense to see how the other add one go to see whether it makes sense doing two full spacebar kits or a combined kit with only mini alphas

[T0mb3ry]

I'll look into it, merging only the small spacebars. What means the big blue spacebars will not be available. So if everybody is cool with it...

[srang]

Well they would still be available in the base kit right? And I only meant that if other add one aren't tipping, then it might make sense to combine them.

GMK DC kit!!
Definitely join in due to the first keyset with DC kit of GMK profile.

[nugglets]

Just posting for updates. Had been following this and love it, but now that we're closer to closing it out I want to keep a closer eye on it =)

[palindrome]

This looks amazing.  I'm definitely interested.

[My_Thoughts]

Love the Colemak/Dvorak GMK  

[ehmlis]

I've had my eyes on this since early 2016 and I've always thought that the colours were awesome and that the cyrillics looked cool. But now you've done it, I must have it, GMK and Colemak

[SlashCamp]

This is the most beautiful set i've seen in a long time. Count me in.

[ЫъГЬ]

I just noticed Cyrillic Kit has ? on 8 key and not 7. Why is that? Is it just a rendering error, or it's actually going to be produced like that?

On the matter of sublegends, double quote mark (") is also missing from 2, but at least it's not an error.

[need]

I agree merging the shorter blue spacebars to the orange spacebar kit. This might even attract people to purchase the base kit for the longer blue spacebars...

My bad, its an error. I will correct this with next update. Thanks for the catch

GMK 6u compatible with Topre? I mean the hole position not the stem.

[Theconejo]

Just came across this and instantly thought of my brother in law. I've been looking for a year or so for a dvorak set that he would probably like. I ran this by my sister to see her thoughts and she loved it. Now I need to wait for this and get some sort of tkl or pok3r for it and then I'll send it out to him later in the year.

I'm actually really excited even though it's not for me!!!

[T0mb3ry]

Cyrillics update.

Following Letters has been tweaked:
Ц - got more slick tail
Щ - got more slick tail
Ф - taller and wider (same width as Ш for example)
У - is now taller

Those tweaks were made to make legends appear properly side by side (dimensions) in cyrillic layout for a human eye.

Here something to compare:
old alphabet:

new alphabet:


Old cyrillic kit (note У and Ф appear small next to other keys):

New cyrillic kit:

and of course Ц and Щ got sexy back

Ф стала сильно круглее) вспоминаются дары смерти из Гарри Поттера

Ф стала сильно круглее) вспоминаются дары смерти из Гарри Поттера

Да но сеичас Ф более вписывается во всю картину. До этого она была коротышкои. Ну и Ф сама по себе экзотическая форма по сравнению с другими буквами

[StarPupil]

This has probably been answered before, but does the Cyrillic kit have deep dish or barred homing keys? I don't see either in the render, but considering that the deep dish F and J keys in the base kit are identical to those around them as far as I can tell, it might just be me missing something.

That is a good question. As you can see there is no bared homing keys, so the homing keys are deep dish (A and O). Probably i have to add bared homing keys.

Any estimate on when this will drop?

12th April would be perfect (12.4.1961 first space flight).

A bit off topic but still related: I watched Hidden Figures (the movie) yesterday and when Yuri Gagarin was mentioned, the first thing I thought of was this keyset and how hyped I am for it to drop!

Hope Yuri can get a spot for that date

By the way do you remember jamods? It will drops somewhere in March

I remember! Shame the "leaf" icon had to get scrapped haha. Glad to hear it'll drop in March though, hopefully there's another cool set coming in until then after Plum ends now - hoping for Mito's Neon or McG's Miami Dolch, or Laser!

Oh thank god.

Enough time for my wallet to recover from all the other GMk sets <3
