[IC] GMK Electronics (Cherry OEM) Colored Esc's, Modifier Sets, CMYK, Number Row

[phetto]

Yes it would be awesome, i've only seen one photo of windowed F-Row caps, I think they were dyesub.

[IvanIvanovich]

I had a function row like that from Alcatel 40x9-MMK, I sold it to someone here, they were pad print like all windowed keys.

[terrpn]

ditto....

Coffee and cream set looks brilliant. I would buy that in an instant.

[The_Beast]

Can GMK do windowed keys? That would be pretty sweet

[IvanIvanovich]

Yes, they use them a lot on thier WEY keyboards. But they can also do clear first shot which make window keys look lazy and sucky.

[phetto]

Perhaps you guys should check if that is possible?
I would dig that =D

You mean the clear legends? I thought they looked pretty intriguing. Although I think straight up windowed caps are nicer.

[Caaaarrrt]

Voted, would also be in for some 7x spacebars.

Keen for this to happen

[rowdy]

Clear legends would be excellent for backlit keyboards.  Given the current dearth of decent backlightable keycaps, GMK could make a killing!

[phetto]

I vote **** clear legends, windows ftw! :-D

[Halverson]

Clear legends on brown? Clear as mud is what we'll call them.

[IvanIvanovich]

LOL. I was thinking about making a lock pack (caps, num, scroll) with clear legend as many board have those as only led key. Then if they look good consider a full set for backlight board. If that's not popular, then windowed set of lock keys would be ok. So many thing I want to do, as I am sure many of you are compiling huge wish list as well. Like matching Cprofile 1.75 control and Bprofile 1.25/1.5 caps lock... another thing high on my list of little things.

[MadScientist46]

Voted as well. You guys are doing a fantastic job!
(btw, windows/clear legends would be the shiznit!)

[rowdy]

This.  LOL.

[eyesmiles]

 Voted. The thought of light green on purple for an Esc key made me feel warm and tingly inside. Dat purp!


... Nothing wrong with Barney or ... Hulk for that matter! 

[Broadmonkey]

LOL. I was thinking about making a lock pack (caps, num, scroll) with clear legend as many board have those as only led key....

I would buy a set, or we could maybe just include a single capslock with clear legends in the modifier pack?

[IvanIvanovich]

Lock pack is only an idea for now. It would have to be offered at another time. There is already a lot of keys in the modifier pack, I don't see adding more or making one key different than the rest.

[DanGWanG]

Way too busy over the weekend.  Thanks lysol for covering ground =)

[danielucf]

How about a "Delete", "End", and "PgDn" set in white on black?

[IvanIvanovich]

Adapter packs will be offered when run full set. It should be cheaper then to run extra of same keys as what would be in full set.

[hashbaz]

How about a "Delete", "End", and "PgDn" set in white on black?

Ooh, this is an excellent idea.

[IvanIvanovich]

I was planning on making a pack with center stem caps, 1.25 bottom row key, ansi enter, 1.5 \|, 2.75 shift, 2 units 0, nav block, function row in white/black and black/beige. Should be all that is needed to complete any set from 8113/1800. This will be done later with full set options.

[hashbaz]

Even better.

[magey]

Just to be clear, the caps lock in the modifier set is off-center right? so it can fit on Cherry boards like the G80-3000.

[boost]

Form Filled....

[Noko]

I've decided to register and jump in to (hopefully) my first group buy.
Just ordered my first keys from techkeys yesterday, I can see myself spending a lot on this stuff now that I'm committed!

[IvanIvanovich]

magey, you will get both style caps lock, stepped off center and fulltouch centered stem. This way any board you have or may have and you are covered.

Welcome to GH jolonnar.

[guilleguillaume]

Seeing that the NCR G80-0528 has Control on Caps Lock placement do you think GMK may have that option?

I think it's a nice key to add since it isn't really popular on any Cherry keyboard.

[silat]

Clear legends on brown? Clear as mud is what we'll call them.

Or clear legends on purple. Purple Haze.......

[IvanIvanovich]

From what GMK has said so far, it sounds like anything Cherry made in doubleshot, they have it.

[rowdy]

All this talk of green and purple - we have green and purple (and yellow) trains in Victoria: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLocity

They are DMUs which go further out than the reach of the electrified sections of metropolitan lines.

[phetto]

No one picking up on my idea with windowed F-keys?
If its 10 MOQ I can pick up 10 sets alone

I like windowed keys, in whatever form. This doesn't seem to be its time though, but I am with you on that in the future. FN lock with a window which can be put instead of scroll lock on any programmable bord, yes please. It would indicate that the second layer is activated and all that.

[DanGWanG]

1 more day to get your opinions in

[IvanIvanovich]

I'm pretty sure blue will win. It has a pretty big lead. Ranks still look pretty close to last time.

[jeroplane]

PLAYOFF PUSH PLAYOFF PUSH

(for green or purp pls)

On the upside, I hope the blue matches this (which it looks like it might):

[IvanIvanovich]

That's the blue I had in mind, well what it would be if it wasn't faded like in that example. Lemme see if I can find a more accurate example.

FWIW I voted purple. (Well other for mod set..everything else purple)

Cheers,

[jeroplane]

I remember that image, lysol. That blue is a really good match for the off-white/light grey keys. I much prefer it to the "royal blue" of those CCnB examples. I have a feeling a lot of the voters for blue are those that wanted CCnB, however I hope they realise the blue here is not what was proposed for CCnB.

[Acetrak]

I think regardless of what the results are, it's an all around win

Just hope we can hit the high MOQ fast to ensure a good experience for all parties.

[rowdy]

Baby blue?

[aggiejy]

Blue is the safest color in the book across it's entire shade range, goes with anything, and doesn't clash with anything.  And is one of, if not the most, popular colors in the world.  Which is why I can't wait for someone to do a CCnB (or better, a STARK WHITE and blue) full set.   I might do one from SP out of impatience.  Just can't decide on shade.  Would be nice in baby blue, royal blue, or dark blue.

[jdcarpe]

This blue right here... (pics from imsto, not mine)

[alaricljs]

That's not just a shade of blue tho, that's also got some very specific reflective and refractive properties that you aren't going to get in plastic to make it look like that.  It does look awesome tho.  They all do.

[precarious]

if it's the light blue

That's the blue I had in mind, well what it would be if it wasn't faded like in that example. Lemme see if I can find a more accurate example.

Yeah, I was beginning to wonder if the blue in question happened to be the same color as that key.  If so, I can say it would definitely be better than a "royal" blue or something of that nature.

C'Mon folks more Brown votes, ignore the bright purple and blue colours... After all, you don't really want your keyboard to look like it was bought from the early learning centre, do you? 

[tjcaustin]

But I want it to look like I bought it from an estate sale from an old widow whose husband used to be in IT in the 70s?

you understand!
I knew they were wrong about you

Edit, the 70's wasn't that long ago by the way...

[KuhnTang]

Whatever color gets voted on, I want some!
