[IC] YURI R1 GMK (Cherry profile)

[renzpwns]

2, 3 and 6 for the dark mod colors, blueish hue on the alphas and the sharp orange for the legends. Though 6 does look more like red than orange on that pic.

Can't vote. Need better photo.

[armatus]

2,3,6

[shinz0]

2, 3, and 5 for me. 4 is too white, 6 is too red

[T0mb3ry]

Here are some better photos.

Blue:

110 is my favortie, since its more off blue and kinda milky. 846 is more pure blue which is boring. In person the difference is very hard to see even under good light conditions. I'll choose 110 in this case since its more smooth than 846.

Light Blue (Baby Blue):

This is a hard color to catch with a camera. I am using artificial light and its makes catching the color even harder. Anyway as you can see 106 is more vivid where 844 has some kind of yellowish accent. Thus 106 is the clear favorite.

We saw the orange colors already and its obvious i would choose the orange one with slight red accents. Another color was red-orange, which was to redish for me. Looking at it in person you always ask yourself: Is it red or orange? - which is both at the same time.

I'll shoot another picture of all chosen colors together, so you can see the colors in the mix.

Would this set run this year?

So beauty :')

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.

[roostrc0gburn]

already the most anticipated set of 2017.

[Data]

I have to agree that 110 and 106 are the better choices.  For the orange I can't even tell a difference so... just pick whatever looks best to you. 

[renzpwns]

already the most anticipated set of 2017.

Yeah seriously, no way I'd pass this set up.

[giammin]

Awesome kit!

[DanB]

I would totally buy this. 

[TH3_P1R4T3]

I check GH just for this set every few weeks. so glad its coming along so nice!!!!

[giammin]

the only flaw is that now I have to find a keyboard with the case of the right color. the ones I have are all black .... 

[T0mb3ry]

I've updated first page with the base set but i post it here anyway for the lazy ones:
Base Set:


Since i can not predict the success properly, i will limit it first to base set. If sales succeed my expectations i will make some addons (ergodox, international, etc) like i did for Carbon. But for now there is only Base Set.

Expect the drop early 2017.

[thad]

I'm pumped.

[onmybikedrunk]

Phenomenal.  Nice work.

[Vigrith]

Sick. A cyrillic alphas kit would never reach GMK MOQs would it T0m?

[poolside]

Yummy! 

May we get a 1.25u R4 "Lock" keycap in order to properly swap Control and CapsLock? Sky Dolch R2 includes one.

[roostrc0gburn]

oh no! maybe i missed it, but we're not doing a full Cryllic set anymore? sorry, last i heard tomb3ry was going to redesign all the legends

This is exactly the setup I was hoping for. Really looking forward to this one.

[T0mb3ry]

As i said, if GMK upgrades its tooling for trippleshot, i'll be all other it to make a cyrillic version. But right now we got only latins. Sure i can make a pure cyrillic version (maybe as addon) but lets see how goes the latin first.

[slot demon]

Looks really nice so far.

[Vigrith]

Sure i can make a pure cyrillic version (maybe as addon) but lets see how goes the latin first.

Yea that's what I meant, if there's a way to make a pure Cyrillic as an addon (if MOQ isn't unrealistically high etc) then that'd be so cool, hopefully the set sees the success it deserves with Latin first!

I would love to see this also! i would definitely buy a latin and a cryllic base set

Cant wait for the new year!

The samples displayed on these photos are all the same (only 3 colors), i've just mixed these to show of the combo as side by side.  )

[d.walkr3]

I fell in love with one of the original sa designs more... but regardless.. TAKE MY MONEY--I'm in for sure

[Ail]

Man I forgot about this one. This is going to look so good, damn.

[mll8394]

Will an ergodox set be made for this?

[T0mb3ry]

Will an ergodox set be made for this?

If it gets the same success like Carbon, it will get similar addons. Right now its safe to make just the base set, since i dont know how it will sell.

[Dr_Alphabet]

early 2017 means I'm most likely going to have decide between this and plum... doubt I'll be able to afford both

IKR! So many sets so little money 

[Oblotzky]

While I like the CCCP novelty key, I think I'd rather use keys with regular legends in their place. But this surely looks like a buy!

[_joe_king]

Just found out about this one looks fantastic and cant wait to get it

Well for me, I'm sure it will be. Just like all your other keysets do.      )

[animal]

I still like the number row with gray legends.

[polentA]

I still like the number row with gray legends.

Yeah! I knew something was different. I would prefer the number row to be in grey as well, but I understand if it's not possible.

I think you mix up gray with deep blue color. In the first mockups there was logical separation of letters (literals) from signs and numbers (non literals).

Something like this:

[dsaf]

Could you please add UK key-caps as well? It's getting more fashionable now to have it as part of the base kit  :

I don't quite understand this approach. How does looking at the sales of the base set help? If anything, you will sell less because not all the ErgoDox users on Massdrop know about your plans, and even if they do, they might not want to risk getting stuck with the base set only.

you have to understand that before GMK Carbon and after the GMK Triumph Adler issues, GMK sets have struggled with MOQ on Massdrop: GMK SNES failed to meet MOQ, GMK Royal TA barely reach MOQ thanks to vendors. thus it's the first and foremost goal to get the base through, then if it gets to be successful like Carbon more will come. the Carbon add-on kit is running on Massdrop and I'm not even certain all 03 child kits will reach 150 MOQ EACH. Personally the Spacebar kit is the only one that I'm buying, and I have bought base + novelties kit in the initial drop.

Sticker shock.

GMK sets are expensive.  Base + ErgoDox is a lot to ask in a single drop.  There are MOQs to consider...  Best to get people to invest in the base kit first and run some supporting kits later.  If you don't like the base kit and are worried about being "stuck with" it, then why are we even talking about Dox support?  This set isn't for you.

The approach is very basic actually and quite classical.  OP knows that if you at least buy the base kit first and then later (a week, a month, two months, whatever) the customer gets asked to buy a add-on pack, he or she may rationalize well heck I guess I can buy this $xx add-on pack since I placed an order for this set.  I, for one, can speak to that I OFTEN say no, I can't buy that add-on, I already am into this set for $yyy money.  Then later I say well but the add-on was only $xx, I regret not getting it at the time. 
Its a buy in strategy that would work but would only truly be known based on how well the initial set gets sold.

Ask and/or research.

Consider that GMK Carbon ran only as a base kit.  It was a massive hit.  People invested in the base kit for what it was.  The Dox add-on ran later by itself but it was never guaranteed (MOQ still applies!) and running it concurrently with the base kit wouldn't change that.  That should be true for Yuri as well.  If you're ONLY looking to fill an ErgoDox then you've got to decide if Yuri is worth the gamble -- will it sell well enough to warrant a Dox kit, and will the Dox kit tip?

If you're coming into the drop not knowing about the possibility of Dox support then you may not even consider Yuri until/unless you poke around a little.  But that's true of any GMK set.

Well there was no guarantee either that the MOQ for the ErgoDox kit would be hit when SA Carbon dropped, and it was included anyway.

SP is different.  You can run an SP set with a MOQ of 1.
