[IC] YURI R1 GMK (Cherry profile)

[T0mb3ry]

International kit in plum, ordered only 36 people, shame. But disputes in each IC so much

Its always like this. You know hype does not cost a penny. Same for votes etc. There is like no constants there you can predict the outcome. Anyway its better to give atleast the opportunity

[Vigrith]

Icon kit is looking sick.

[ideus]

Very interesting new icons.

[rm-rf]

please... please do not remove this icon.

[Che.R.Ry]

any idea of estimated price for each kit?

I was charged for the plum international kit. 

Lets hope that YURI makes it too

Can you shed some light on the Carbon International Massdrop?
From all I can see, this was ordered only 68 times
(I received mine in good order, so thank you T0mb3ry and MD).
Did Massdrop stock the additional ones to reach MOQ?

I see it's really difficult to get enough International interest (e.g. Terminal or Plum).

How's not reaching the "International" MOQ to be handled for YURI?

[mniels]

Please. Make. This. Happen.

Does anyone have any plans for builds (layout, case color/material, plate, lighting, etc.) using Yuri they would like to share?  I know I am going to buy this set, but I am struggling to decide on the keyboard to build around the keycaps, as the colorway is so unique.  I am hoping you fine folks can provide me with some inspiration!

I am thinking I will probably put in on a 60% as well, but I am torn on if I want to switch the plate and case to better match the set.  I normally just do silver or black plates and cases, but I can't picture whether yuri will look good with those...that pale blue for the alphas is really lovely, but I don't know what color case/plate it would look best with.

P.S. good luck on getting into the Lightsaver, that board looks really sweet!

[kmba]

It's a difficult colorway to pair in my opinion. I think a dark blue (barely exists in the case world) would be best, followed by a space gray.  Not a big fan or black and blue and I think silver might clash a little with the light blue mods.

With black (look at all mockups on black background), gray and silver you cant go wrong. But if you want a perfect build you need to go for matching color combos for case, plate and optionaly for other parts like middle piece (for example Revo D keyboard has a middle piace).

I've ordered Revo D keyboard in custom colors (matched for Yuri). Deep blue top and bottom pieces. Oragne plate and middle piece. In my opinion light blue would be superior but its already something to start with.

I cant promisse Yuri's Intl kit to tip. Plum's and Carbon's intl kit tipping was more of effort of GMK and Massdrop for wich ISO users (who participated) can be thankfull.

Keep in mind GMK makes an exception for intl kit which has always moq of 100 compared to 150. That displays how friendly GMK is towards ISO community.

In the end the intl kit depends on ISO participants. If Massdrop steps into, i cant promisse too. Better hope for ISO community to expand.

Everything is doubleshot, except "SysRq" and "Break" frontprints in base set, which i've forgot to add :/

please... please do not remove this icon.

I'll look into it. Keep in mind that icon looks little bit weird because it seems to look off center (which is actually is not but the weight of the icon leans towards one side stronger).

That's why you place the icon in the visual center, and not the actual center.  ;)

[HerrGartenzwerg]

I am looking for a GMK set with proper ISO/DE compatability for quite a while.
Im not a big fan of the orange color choice.. but if the international kit will be produced, Im definetely in!

Hey hey,

after a conversation with a member "jebbra" i've decided to revisit the symbols for alt, control, fn, super and escape keys. Jebbra pointed out, since he is a big fan of icons, that the symbols should have the same left alignment as other keys. Also the size btw the scale of icons should match other keys. In that case i agree with jebbra. So kudos to jebbra for pointing that out and taking actively part in that IC. I appreciate it

First picture is made to display how the new icons complement each other in case of dimensions and angles. The thickness of each line is approximate the same width as the line of the arrows on a real gmk key (it was scanned before).


Now the icon mods kit using the new icons. Now keep in mind the top surface of keycap is actually little bit taller, as it has the shape of a rectangle, than my mockups.

[thad]

Nice change. I'm still in for one

For 1u mods, I think the icons (not punctuation) in center alignment would look better, then align the left indent on other 1.25 and other length icon mods to inline with 1u

I saw another thing, the arrows on the tab key in the icon mod kit don't match. Is it supposed to look like that?

Ignore other symbols, these are just for display which key it is. If i start to replicate each cherry symbol.... You know it will take some time  )

The only keys you should look for are with the new symbols.

Time?  Time?!  There is no such thing.  The time for Yuri is now, pls.
Let's see:
Layout compatibility?  Done!
Cyrillic font in double-shot painstakingly worked to perfect the font?  Done!
Custom colors vetted, ordered, discussed, and still rethought?  Done!
Other detals too numerous to mention?  Done!

The work is impeccable, what else is there?

So very true. Gotta put your money where your mouth is. Or, in this case, where your posts are.

[ideus]

Are they taller than regular GMK key caps? Or you meant it just as a clarification on your renders.

Its just clarification for my mockups. Everyone should take those with grain of salt, since those have purpose to display only the kit content. And previously i wanted just to point out that the keys (irl) are slightly taller than displayed in my mockups.

I am hoping to get in on the Duck Lightsaver V3 and put this on it. If not, it will go on my Pok3r or QFR TKL.

I am thinking I will probably put in on a 60% as well, but I am torn on if I want to switch the plate and case to better match the set.  I normally just do silver or black plates and cases, but I can't picture whether yuri will look good with those...that pale blue for the alphas is really lovely, but I don't know what color case/plate it would look best with.

I think that it's always safest to go for a more low key colour on the case and plate if you're going to use a set like this. It's very hard to match colours with the colours in the set as well without the board looking too bright. I would go for a black or perhaps a grey base, lowkey plate, and then this on top.

Thanks for the input, I am inclined to agree with you and will probably put it in a black aluminum case.  It might not match the keyset perfectly, but it certainly won't look bad.  I also have a walnut datamancer with nothing in it, so I might just see how it looks there too.  I don't know if that combo will look nice or not, but ya never know until you see it in person

A black case will go with anything. It's only when you move away from neutral colours like black, white, silver or grey that you're going to start clashing. So you might not get the exact effect you're looking for, but you know it won't clash. In other words, the keyset will definitely look good even if it's not the particular board you're after. Whereas if you try to match it with a case that has a strong colour then you can end up with it looking horrible, or just looking a bit too "loud" (although that might be my preference for more minimal colours talking there).

Darn, I was hoping to make my first DIY keyboard with this keyset in mind. But reading your comment, I'm thinking finding a matching blue case could be really hard. I have a hard enough time matching my artisans sometimes (if they're not made for a keyset in mind), I could only imagine how annoying it would be having a slightly off case.

I was going to do a black aluminum case, but just ordered a space gray aluminum case off of ali, which I think will complement this keyset very nicely.

I agree that having a slightly mismatched case would be really annoying, so I decided to find something complementary rather than trying to match the colorway.  Very hyped for this set to drop!

Would it be possible to add a R3 ^ symbol control cap for HHKB layouts? This key is often overlooked in icon mod sets.

I was thinking about it some day already. I will look into that.

I've been loosely following this set for a while, totally dig the color scheme... but now that there's a possibility of having doubleshot cyrillic caps? If that happens I don't care how much it costs I am game

There is a cyrillic kit and it will be doubleshot.

Thank you t0mb3ry for taking my worries to your design consideration. I play with them a bit to tweak the proportion between each of them, I think we don't need to follow the sizing rule that way (having a bounding box and fit them all snugly), seems like it would be better if we use 'visual size' instead.



I don't have any icon GMK in my hand so I can't make the line thickness is the same as the enter and the others so I just can give the rough estimation of the size.

[Theconejo]

Any updates on if/when this is happening? Seems like SP and GMK are totally bogged down.

In case of lead times, i have no clue. A longtime customer of GMK may step in and thus may delay the lead time and that is ok, since we are a niche markt.

I got Skidata+ which has icon mods. I'll map new icons next to existing icons and adjust them if needed.

[kmba]

I think this set would work best with a dark blue case (doesn't need to be color matched), followed by space gray, then silver, then black. Not a huge fan of dark blue with black and the light blue alphas might clash a bit with silver hence them being on the end of my list. Anything else would look funny to me.

Thicker lines on the proposed icons would match the current Cherry icons better, than the ones shown.

Cool to see someone make some icon mods for the bottom row

I agree that they need to be thicker - the thickness on the enter arrow or the outline of the shift arrow would be ideal

LOOKIN GOOD! Although it looks like Alt icon is a tiny bit smaller compared to Super and Control. The Menu is a bit bigger too. But they're all come to your decision ;)
And yes just need to match the thickness  :thumb:
