Discord for updates: https://discord.gg/eGnjxGxIntroduction:The current GMK White-on-Black sets available on Drop and Originative have great coverage, but still miss out on providing coverage for many different layouts. The idea behind these kits is to add some more compatibility options to this iconic set that aren't currently available, that we have been seeing in recent extension kits. The keycaps are CR with WS1 legends, matching with GMK WoB of course.
When?The GB will run from Monday 23rd March through to Friday 24th April, lasting roughly a month.

Kits:40sThe 40s kit aims to give coverage to as many different board layouts as possible not included in the original kit. This kit gives 40s, split and ergonomic boards compatibility as well as having 1.50 backspace for split backspace users, and a 1.25 BoW tab to make GMK Minimal compatible with staggered 40s.
Colevrak+This kit adds compatibility to many different typing layouts.
R0/R5 CompatibilityThis kit adds R0 and R5 compatibility to GMK White-on-Black for a full cherry profile.
(full cherry profile; currently most kits have two sets of R1 and R4 instead of R0 and R5)
Extra:My friend nvmbra is running a separate mini GB for those who want additional text modifiers for the 40s and R5 kits. These are limited availability and
will not ship together with this GB.
