I'm ready for this one. I already have more caps than I need but this is a good excuse to add another to the lineup!

Definitely up for this! I love the colours and really like how much thought into compatibility you've put in.

I would really love it if there were a 6u spacebar though.. Any chance of adding it or are the kits already finalised?

I am afraid GMK Miami Dolch might already have happened. It's called:
- Sky Dolch v2 with magenta mods (base: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=84769.msg2300823#msg2300823, mods: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=84769.msg2308401#msg2308401)

Overall, love the keyset. Nice work. Looking forward to the drop.

Just wondering, is it possible to add 2 x 1u Accent Colored Esc Keys to the 40% Ortho kit? It would balance out the coloured Enter key nicely as seen in the original Zambumon renders.

Cause right now the only way to have a decent looking planck layout is to either not use the colored enter key at all, or buy an entire accent kit just for a single colored escape key, which doesn't really make much sense. :/

ahha, to cover a hhkb layout, I have to buy the UK kit for a single \|, and tsangan kit for a single 1.75 control...

Is the 6.5u spacebar kit going to show up in the drop? I'll still be getting this to kit out a future ergodox, but I'd really like to replace the stock bar on my TK, as it's my first and only board ATM.

I threw it in the Tsangan Kit and the Planck Kit. Check the kits at the top of the thread, the most up to date ones are here on GH

oh..really hope it's in the base kit, then I can just replace 1.75 ctrl with 1.75 func, and avoid buying an exta Tsangan kit. 60% mod+Whitefox kit+novelty can fit all perfectly well.

But anyway, I'm in for 8 or 9 kits. Wish the GB be a great success  :thumb:

Thank you for clarifying, just got a bit panicky when the text didn't reflect that, even with the same image as this thread.

Oh I just took a closer look and there seems to be a missing dark ' " key that's not in any kit that I see, but is depicted in the Planck layout/render. I personally won't use that key but you might want to either add that key in or modify the renders/layout.

Jumped in too.  DSA fan.  I recently jumped in on the Lightcycle full-set GB, but I need to fill out a 75% board anyway so this will look lovely on there.  I hope they add the bonus kits and any of the other misc. stuff soon!

Good job on the set,  MacGruber117, and good luck on the drop!  Here's to unlocking all the breaks.   :thumb:

It's a shame this launched with such oddly split kits. For example, you need "Base Alphas", "60% Modifiers Kit", "WhiteFox, 65%, 75% Modifiers Kit" and "Tsangan Colemak Kit" just to cover a HHKB.

For a WKL layout (with the 1u winkey) you need the same as above.

There are so many duplicate keys that just haven't been considered. For HHKB you end up with 3/4 duplicates.

"WhiteFox, 65%, 75% Modifiers Kit" is generally a super weird kit. It's got 1800 keys, some novelties, a Clueboard shift, and a couple HHKB keys.

"Tsangan Colemak Kit" is also flawed. It has 1 key regarding Colemak, but you need to combine it with "WhiteFox, 65%, 75% Modifiers Kit" to actually make it useful on 90%+ boards. It also has elements of 40%, when there is a Ortholinear kit below?

Kits are supposed to make it so you don't have to buy unnecessary kits, but you end up buying lots as the compatibility is so spread out. I'm guessing its too far in to change anything, so good luck, but it's really a shame that it wasn't done properly.

To be fair, I doubt this kit was designed with the HHKB in mind, seeing as how you have to mod it to take MX keycaps.

There are MX HHKBs - Viper, etc. Either way, I personally have not ran into any issues with the kits, probably because I bought everything other than ergodox and tsangan but still I think for most boards it seems to be mostly on point.

The only thing that seems to be missing is the option to have an all dark f-row.

IMO this is essential for layouts like a 75%, or the 96 key layout where the f-row lines up next to the number keys.

Having the two tone looks weird in those types of layouts...
