Best of luck with the GB! I'm totally on board with that colorway, and the extras are awesome (I legit think these might be the nicest extras I've seen in a GMK GB so far).

There are things about this set that I definitely would have liked to have seen changed but with that said, I still love it and I really approve of Prototypist as the vendor of choice.  I also think the Rama Hawk cap is superb and so I will most likely be spending a bucket load on this.

Well for starters, you don't even get non accented enter and escape keys in the base kit. There is no numpad or iso support in the base kit. If you want a normal base kit (aka fullsize support with iso) you would have to buy the base, numpad and NORDEUK kits, which total to $209. Also if you don't like the orange accents, which I can imagine some people might not, you have to purchase the "blackout" kit for an extra $72, just to get rid of the orange. So yeah, I would say that the base kit is far more expensive than it should be for what you're getting.

Friendly reminder that keycap design is based on a designers vision and not everyone will be happy with all of the choices, this was not meant to be a GMK Dark rip off so if you wanted completely blacked out base kit, this isn't the GB for you. I think those that really like the set but also want a more "blacked out" theme will be willing to pay for the additional kits.

Nice work on this, I'm in for a base kit and RAMA myself :)

So I have to spend 175usd to get ISO... What the hell is this kitting?

Base with ISO AND numpad is achievable for 135usd/140usd.

Well if you only use ANSI then for sure you would support that, but there is more than one layout, ISO is not a rare layout, it's actually popular.

+1 for good kitting!

really appreciate having alice support in the spacebars kit. i don't understand why it seems to be standard practice to only offer alice support in extension kits. for minimal support it's literally just 3 keys max (2 spacebars and a B if you're feeling generous), so paying for a spacebars kit instead of an extension kit makes it a bit more palatable.

also - a loud minority is still a minority. the kitting is a reflection of both the gb runner's vision and their attempt to realize the best pricing on kits for the largest possible audience. complaining about how the kitting seems "selfish" is idiotic since the runner specifically kitted everything to allow for the best chance possible to reach MOQ on each kit offered while also dictating kits/pricing in a way that benefits the majority (not the minority). this is the exact opposite of being "selfish". in fact, penalizing the majority by having them subsidize the cost for additional keys for the minority is "selfish" and straight up dumb. if you're in the minority, you're gonna have to pay extra. that is the reality of the world, not just keycaps.

Yugo is an ISO-first (namely, ISO-YU–first) set. There is no ANSI US support in base, just physical ANSI compatibility. That's probably what Fearsome was referring to.

Yugo is an ISO-first (namely, ISO-YU–first) set. There is no ANSI US support in base, just physical ANSI compatibility. That's probably what Fearsome was referring to.

Interesting, I did not notice that.  For my own part I think ISO kit sales have increased a lot in the past few years.  On the majority of the more popular sets, ISO is normally produced.  In relation to Yugo specifically, it was not really a popular set, so the overall numbers were low, not just the ISO kit.

I use both ISO and ANSI across many boards.  Being born and raised in the UK the majority of keyboards I used (long before this hobby started, in fact back when personal computers started) were ISO'ish in their key layout.  Computers like the Commodore 64, Amiga, BBC, Archimedes and Commodore PC1, PC10.  At the same time the main business computers in use like DEC PDP were mostly ANSI'ish in their keyboard styles.  When actually typing while working I prefer ISO layout and I need UK ISO specifically.  When using some Ergo layouts I prefer ANSI layout usually (apart from the Virgo).  I also want to say that when ISO is offered either included in the base kit (1st choice) or as part of the Norde/UK kit (expensive way) I always buy it with every set of caps.  In fact I support ISO kits every time I buy (and I buy way too many).  I also think that for the benefit of your hobby and the love of keyboard design, everyone should be building both ANSI and ISO layouts, if not then why buy any more than one keyboard of choice.

Well if you only use ANSI then for sure you would support that, but there is more than one layout, ISO is not a rare layout, it's actually popular.

Is it though... :/


It IS. The horse died long ago and beating the dead horse ceased to be fashionable back in 2018, thank you.

Wow, I just discovered that great looking set. But I hate to say, it feels like the usage as a kind of "dark dolch" set has been intentionally punished or completely ignored.

This way everybody who just wants a black Enter and Esc or the most basic ISO-support has to buy the full Blackout set.
I also dont understand the "<>" key instead of a "|\" for the additional ISO-key next to the small left shift. Because "|\" is what you get there with both ENG(UK) and ENG(US/INTL) layouts.
Any possibility to get a black numpad-enter would also be nice.

All this could be done with small "Blackout Mods plus basic ISO"-Kit. I don't know how such things work but maybe this could still be offered.
I hope this doesn't come across offensive towards the designers choices, but I see the usage as "dark dolch" is pretty obviously suggesting itself here.
The mentioned kit would be a comparably simple way to make a lot of people happy, I think. And maybe it would even be profitable although less Blackout Kits would be sold, when the whole set becomes more attractive this way.
I am sorry I didn't make this suggestions earlier, if this would have made a difference.

It should be nice living in 2015. 2020 was not a great year.

Splitting numpad from base kit is going along with the recent popularity in TKL designs (40's, ergo, 60, 65, 75).
However, with an ever growing community, removing ISO support on base kit without providing an easy alternative to add it is just stupidy. Sorry to say that for the designers, because it is a great set nonetheless.

This was already discussed long enough in the IC thread.
It was not possible to change the kitting anymore becuase the vendors had already gotten the quotes from GMK.
Changing things in the kits after that would create a lot of organizational issues and that's why it wasn't done.

Starting this discussion in the groupbuy thread yet again is completely useless because the kitting on an already running groupbuy won't get changed.

I mean you did share a link which you apparently opened but did not explore at all lmao. But agreed, the link image for the keycap page should probably be... the keycaps. Haha.

Yes I glanced at the site and that was the link to the group by page. On opening it just saw posters and matts etc :)

I’m Ill right now but I still think a number of folk will miss it. I’m also less interested as I’ll be ordering from another site.

Yep easily fixed by changing the thumbnail to keycaps :)

Grats on the success of the set. I was hoping to join in order to finally be able to replicate the ill fated GMK Doom (RIP MF DOOM) but having to get the alphas kit is just too rich for me this time around.

Perhaps an all black base kit in Round 2?

Oh wow... I just saw that... I guess the Europeans are a bit louder online to compensate for the lack of actual numbers... Then again, I think there was a (false) expectation that any GMK base kit "must" also contain ISO caps. Hence the low numbers of NorDeUK.

Eh, I love it anyway. I'm excited to have this kit in my hands later this year (hopefully)!

(I may also be biased because I use ANSI and HHKB... lol)

PK has proven to be reliable since that entire Tesletron drama went down so that's not really an issue anymore.

Sorry for the small amount of updates in the last couple of months over here.

We're currently waiting for the 3rd round of samples for Stealth, which will be the last round of samples due to the already good samples in hand.

Here is a comparison of the first and second round of samples, going from left to right.




I would recommend joining my Discord if you'd like to get frequent updates. I'm uploading updates every second week, to keep everyone on track!

From their discord:

"Here comes the long awaited update!

This should give everyone the well deserved insights on why the sets, Sumi and Stealth, haven't made any progress after the approval of the colors.
With GMK sets, the usual procedure of sets being approved is the following. First the colors will be matched to the desired shade. This step did already took very long, but we are very happy with the final result and the ensured quality that comes with it.
The next step is the confirmation of the Kits. This is necessary to guarantee the correct keys in each kit, as well as the novelties. And that's where we ran into some issues. As I started to design GMK Sumi and GMK Stealth I used a different vector program as GMK did (this changed with Modern Ink, as I switched to Adobe Illustrator). Somehow the shared files for the novelties, which had been sent to GMK prior to the GB, that should ensure the producibility of each new legend had a wrong scaling. This stayed unnoticed until we came to the before mentioned step of checking the kits.
Revisiting the Novelties in order to get the proper scale ended up taking way longer than initially expected. We had some problems to correctly align the enter novelties which ultimately ended up in GMK creating a sheet that took care of the problem. Besides that I had to slightly rework a novelty from Sumi (無), which had tolerances that were too tight for production. This change is only very minor and not noticeable in the grand scheme of the kit, but I still wanted to mention it.

I'm pretty sure that the final result ensured the best Quality of both sets and I'm really looking forward for them to enter the production followed by their delivery!

I've attached the final renders of the Novelty kit from both Sumi and Stealth that came back from GMK.
In order to compensate everyone for the unexpectedly longer waiting time, I decided to add a couple of specifically designed Sumi and Stealth themed Stickers to every order.

With both Sets being in the queue for production, the ETA shouldn't be too far in the future.
I will update everyone, once I know that the production started!"
