Can we have an extra B in base?

Any plans for novelties?
make your own keycap set, will this include a marker included to make font?
But I have to look down at the letters when I press them
how do with this
Love the work you put into this :)Thank you! This was a very high effort set that took me months to make, I spent days colormatching and waited about 6 months for pikku to get me my renders, so I'm glad to see someone appreciates it! :p
⠀
How did you get the legends to be so crisp in the renders?
WoW!
I’d like to propose a name change to “GMK WoW” (White on White. Also, I hope it’s double shot so the legends doesn’t fade).
this design is just too messy. I need a simpler designhow

Omg it's completely white how can you do that how can you be so racist I mean you are clearly privileged and have no idea on how to represent other races and cultures you shallow racist person as a white man i feel obligated to apologise for this atrocious creation even though I have absolutely no affiliation to it I will also donate everything I own to blm because I am white and therefore automatically racist and blm is entitled to everything I own because I'm so privileged and slave trading or whatever you should be ashamed of yourself for a making a keycap set like this you can at least donate the profits to blm and then once you're done you can then work voluntary work to help people in africa because you're racist and have to pay back just like I do even though I've never done anything racist or have had any slaves it is still my duty as a white man to treat people of color as my superiors and I will never buy this keycap set as even though your intention isn't to be racist with this set there is a 1 in 1000000 chance that it will offend some random PoC who isn't me because I'm white mind you but because the chance is there I'm offended on their regard so you are a racist because I'm offended so delete this
would be in for black especially
ne r5 kit avail?
it is not an april fool! I want it for real
If this becomes an actual thing I would love if it could have 40s support
R2 1.75 backspace, R3 1.5 enter, R3 1.25 tab
yup this is endgame right here
Could you pls make an international kit???
Actual GMK Minimal
Any hiragana sublegends?
Colevrak support?
Very clean! chefs kiss.
I was going to comment what Note did...
If you're not getting any legends, UV prints, or custom colors, why not just get black/white blank PBT keys in cherry profile - that way they won't shine over time, and they're way cheaper. Oh yeah, and they're in stock and you won't have to wait the current 14 months for GMK.
Gonna be a debbie downer here and point out that the best thing about GMK is their color matching, and that it's kind of pointless to pay a premium for blank black or white keycaps.
Speaking of color matching, are you planning on getting samples before GB? I kinda want to see how the design on the caps will turn out, but since GMK's been packed with orders maybe that won't be feasible.
Also do you have any renders with a bit more natural lighting?
I DEMAND COLOUR ACCURATE SAMPLE PHOTOS BEFORE THE GB

Approved.
Please add 40% support
Yes, please!Approved.
Please add 40% support
On my to do list :thumb:
Renders look great! Colors really pop
I was really sad when I saw this on April 1st. But now that we have updates, I'm happy again. :thumb:
Could you add Ergodox suport, or add an ergodox kit?
Yes, I could potentially add a ergodox kit if this set continues to gain popularity.
Which keys were added for 40s support? For minimum 40s base kit support the 3keys to add are R2 1.75, R3 1.25 and R3 1.5. But there doesn't seem to be a R2 1.75...
Yes, I could potentially add a ergodox kit if this set continues to gain popularity.
Thanks!
Also, a minor thing: when I was updating my signature, I noticed you didn't put the (/url) at the end of the code. It might f*'up the links from other banners, like yours (when I click the Lychee set, I get redirected to the GMK Blank thread instead).
I want this... but I hope it's easier and faster for GMK to produce a set if it's blanks? The thought of waiting a year or 2 for blanks is a hard proposal (but seems easy to imagine actually happening with GMK).I don't have a definite answer, but yes, I'd imagine it would be much easier for them to produce a set of blanks. I'm 90% sure if this set were to run, it wouldn't take as long for GMK to produce as normal sets. Also, this only uses stock colors, so some time should be saved since GMK doesn't have to color match.
I don’t want this to come out disrespectfully but is this still a meme set? Its pretty darn cool either way.No...?
Yes, I know that GMK blanks have been ran before, but I wanted this to be the first formal interest check/group buy.Oh, you mean like https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=100031.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=100031.0) which admittedly was the second formal one. Poking fun at your inability to google "gmk blank geekhack" and crediting former runners with your original april fool's idea aside and despite my snarkiness, which I cannot help right now, I still think this is a great project!

Your IC form is sadly lacking. If my IC for blank caps is any indication a third up to half of in blanks interested people use sub 60% keyboards with the biggest sub group being 40% ortho (think Planck) users. Your kitting does not reflect that and as a 40s user myself would be the reason to not consider joining the GB. Your kitting also does not reflect the two thirds of people preferring mods and alphas to be different colors, again because your IC isn't asking that question. ErgoDox-style users again aren't even considered. If you need inspiration I'd recommend looking at least at the MT3 3277 blank sets or take a look at my kitting, but beware that I am running a uniform profile, so it is a bit easier for me to accommodate for more people.
You are also not rerunning all the popular colors of the previous GBs, which were: CR full, N9 alpha + 2U Spacebar, L9 mods, WS1 alpha, TU2 alpha, DY full.
Please don't read this as a way to tear you down! I think you can do much better and I hope you can use this to build yourself up.

I think what you're trying to say here is that a third to half of people interested in blanks use sub 60% boards, which I disagree with. TKL, 65%, and 60% are the most popular form-factors in the community right now, with 40% being a minority as one of the lesser-used layouts. Also, while I decided not to add a separate 40s kit, I still added basic 40s support in the base, so while it may not cover ALL 40s boards, it still covers a majority of them.

I believe that most people interested in blank keycaps do not use "standard" layouts covered by "standard" GMK kits, like the kits proposed in this IC. The need for blanks usually comes from weird layouts that need very specific row/size/legend combinations, not found on custom kits/sets. Hence, removing the "legend" variable in hopes to find keycaps with row/size that fits. Most people even give up sculpted profiles, because they can't even find the correct "row" variable. But if you like sculpted profiles, your hopes lies on blank keycaps.
Personally, I still hope you add Ergodox support in the main kit, or add an Ergodox kit. But again, I do want mods and alphas to be different colors (i.e. CR and WS2), and would most likely have to buy two full kits, and considering the number of kits you would have to add to accommodate non-standard layouts (which are the target buyers for blanks), most of them wouldn't hit GMK's MOQ.
Relying on standard kitting options won't be enough for the target audience of blank keycaps. If you are still serious about this, I think the model linked by rutomoda would be better fitting for a blanks GB.

I understand that, I think where the miscommunication happened is you guys are assuming I'm targeting the 40s/ergo/etc. layouts, in which case a blanks GB similar to the ones that have previously ran would make sense. However, that's not the case. I understand that there is a large market for blanks in those layouts, but the simple truth is that I'm targeting the standard market where 60/65/tkl is the main layouts.
5/12
-Added CMYK and RGB modifier kits
-Added missing 40s key
-Updated renders

Any way you could add row labels to your renders? Would like to see for color mod kits specifically.
Thanks for the ergo kits! :thumb:
However, since the caps are blank, almost all 1u needed for the ergo and some 1,5u keys are already available on the main kit. Maybe we should take advantage of that.
You will only have to add 13 keys to the main kit to support ergo boards, instead of having a separate ergo kit. Otherwise, ergo users will need to buy the main kit and the ergo kit, which will result in buying almost double of the keys actually needed.
If I counted correctly, the keys that need to be added are:
1x 1u R2
2x 1,5u R1
4x 1,5u R2
2x 1,5u R3
4x 2,0u R2
Hmm, wondering if it's possible for you to sell the split spacebar options by themselves. I have no need for blank keycaps except for my split spacebar, and split spacebar keycaps are really hard to find!
smh no f13 support:blank:
is this gonna be the first gmk set sub 100?
Please add UK ISO and I will go in for BoB as well as the WoW set.
ergo as separate kits for me. i dont want the base kits. i want ergo kits for minimal and wob.
also left feedback regarding the actual kiting for ergo. its missing support for a few other boards (boardwalk/boardrun, other ergo kits). mudbeam had a good ergo kit (just subtrack the accent bars).Show Image(https://www.scud80.com/images/gmk_mudbeam/kits/renders/Kit_Ergo.jpg)

Thanks for adding the extra keys for the ergo clones!! I'm in for at least one ergo kit! I was bummed out that I missed the last blank GB. Any idea what the GB timeline is looking like?

Sometime around the end of the year
Nice! Since they're blanks, what kind of cap thickness are we looking at though? Since it'd be single shot?
I thought I read some people talking about some other runs of GMK blanks that they sound different and were lighter in mass than their double-shot counterparts.
When?
Idk bro you tell me how soon you want it and I'll deliver <3 (no but seriously I might run this sh*t)
I am also ready to buy this.When?

I want it now.
No, but seriously, is there a GB date in the works? Definitely interested in this :D

I hadn't thought about it like that. WoB/BoW sets could use these kits as an ergo extension, thanks for pointing this out. I'll probably keep these kits separate from the base kit.
Thanks for the input! I'll also be adding the missing keys to support the other boards
Actual GMK MinimalOnly in the same color as the base key
Any hiragana sublegends?

Strange though, I asked my mom the other day and she had no idea.MoreShow Image(https://i.postimg.cc/RV8Wf7pk/220501-Nova-RMK.png)
I 100% understand leaving GMK. Overall (and not just for you) communication has been sh*t; waiting times are ever increasing (many sets that initially had a 12 months ETA, to be delivered on Q1/2022, now are expected at Q4/2022, for at least a 20 month waiting time overall). Also, with this hobby getting more attention, many more manufactures are commming up.Yeah, GMK has definitely been getting worse recently.
But, I know nothing abouth KBM. For black/white blanks, I don't think colors will be an issue, and we do not have to worry about the quality of the font either. But, what profile do they use? Where can I find more information on them?
Also, thanks for the ergo on the kit!
To be fair I think the original appeal was to get to try GMK caps for cheaper, so switching over kind of changes the scope. Not fan of it now being PBT but the colors are still pretty good so I might still try.
What blanks does KBM use? Are they similar to some other manufacturers? I've documented how a few different kinds of dyesubbers use the same blanks in the write up I did (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/svranp/xiami_vs_nicepbt_vs_shenpo_reviewing_these_same/) and I'm curious if these are the same. If they are, awesome! They're really good quality.
Super clean. I would love to see a couple windowed keys in this setI was originally planning to add windowed keys, but unfortunately KBM does not support windowed keys at this time
any samples? really want to join this.We've requested samples and they are expected to arrive by July-August
Bummed to see no ABS. Any idea of pricing?Around $70-80, give or take
When can we see some samples or even typing tests?
Would like to know even more details about the profile of these offers.
Been killing myself looking for white Cherry PBTs for an Ergodox, and all I can find is the DCS PBT set. Which isn’t bad, but the thinness is a big no for me. So, I’m interested! :thumb:Ergo in base
Let me get this right, though… is that ergo in base? Or is that a separate kit?
