Carbon and Bone base kits

 - Both base kits got duplicate tab key included, so people can utilize the remaining modifiers for and HHKB like layout which is very good (i guess other layouts are also possible like 60% or 65% as long as HHKB backspace style is implemented). Anyway this works only if you got additional alphas set. Honestly there should be also backspace duplicates but that means 3 additional keys (including tab) and in that case i have to put it in a separate kit. So one duplicate tab is ok but not three duplicates as this would be little bit too much. Base kits are already huge and they contain far more important keys.

People who ask for row 4 kit. Look at this kit and how many keys it needs to make it compatible with the both base sets. This kit will cost at least 70 $ if not more. I dont think there will be enough people who will pay 70+ just for the bottom row. In this regard i cant offer such kit because its not feasible.

Edit: i apologize for the typo in the kit name...
Why not just offer it to match Carbon base only and drop the Bone? GMK Carbon R1 didn't have Bone so a true "downgrade" kit shouldn't offer it anyway. That cuts the set nearly in half.

Double tab is an amazing thing. One HHKB keyboard and one tkl for example and still carbon mods on both :)
One very small thing worth considering perhaps, a second 1.75u shift? (nitpicking here)

New extension "Arrows kit"


New novelty kit "Salty kit"
 - I've asked every Designer for a permission to offer a salt key for their design. And i want to thank them for this. Every key will get the matching custom color of their keyset. The last three salt keys are using standard GMK Colors.

I don't know if the color samples are already matched. Without the matched and approved by the designer color samples its not possible to add such key.

Didn't scroll through 12 pages, but is there a reason for the funky skull and bee in the boneyard and beezarre kits?  They seem pretty out of place and would be better served in a novelty pack or something.  plus it raises the price of those additional alpha kits

These are sugar keys and they are not out of place if you think about the kit names. Anyway they will stay as they are.

If you check fist page you will see that the alphas got function keys (F1-F4 and F9-F12) in their colors. So it was solved in the previous updates.

Honeywell has white alphas and lighter gray mods. Bones has beige/ivory alphas and darker gray alphas. I got GMK Honeywell and its different in person imo.

The Salty kit is now full. It has now 16 keys for the row 1. With this kit you will be able to make complete (escape key excluded) salty function row on a tkl keyboard.

However this kit uses many different colors and that will raise the pricing for it. I guarantee you, it will have worst dollar per key ratio. Just take Glorious kit from Yuri for example.
Anyway if the pricing will be too high, i will split this kit probably in two.

Nope. It will not drop with GMK Carbon again. Also these particular designs of deskmats are exclusive to this drop. Say they will not be available elsewhere. If a redrop for these mats happen in the future i don't know.

I guess shipping is quite costly. But i have to say as i got the preproduction samples, the package was quite big because despite the mats being rolled they take lots of space.

pls drop on Massdrop!

Not sooner than November.

By this i am trying to give a tip for people who are interested in GMK Carbon to prepare, because the drop is not going to be as cheap as the first round.

Those salty keys were introduced during SP SA Carbon Round 2 drop for a reason. There is a small story behind it, but anyway some people wanted salty kit so here it is.

In short we overlooked at the beginning the Warning Signs kit  pricing which was abysmal low. Precisely Warning Signs kit had 36 keys and price was only 12$. We sold almost 1k kits at this low price then we removed the kit for time being in order to get proper pricing but people got "salty" about it. So i joked about our **** up with salty kit mockup and people loved it  :)) In the end we reintroduced the warning signs again with proper prices and we introduced salty kit. Also people who bought warning signs for 12$ before got actually their kits that cheap. So whole story ended good for everybody imo.

Good story

I would want salty keys in R2 and 2 in R3. Perfect for league of salt 🤪

Heck, would even just use R1 salt caps so the salt piles stick out from the rest of the keyboard, better to get my salt game going strong.

Only thing i wish for is r4 mods. I saw your kit on the last page, but would you consider doing a smaller kit of r4 mods?

Maybe:
-7 1.25 (ctrl/alt/super/x1 fn)
-4 1.5 (ctrl/alt)

and in both colorways, so about 20 keys.

Yes its a compromise, but it covers a lot of layouts. I love numpads myself, but this is a kit id def. buy.

Those keys are incomplete because they are only compatible with 60% layout which is not acceptable. Its missing bottom arrow keys (especially for x5% layouts which are very popular lately), several 1u keys and its missing numpad bottom rows which are needed for mandatory 1800er layouts. If i add those keys the kit will cost around 70-90$ just for the bottom row...

Have you considered adding some R0 1u keys for the separate numpads?

Most have a 1u Fn, Tab, Shift, Backspace, and/or = keys.

I would add such keys only if numpad was separate kit. Since i do have two base sets i cant separate numpads from those. Numpads are required for 1800 and 100% layout. There is also MOQ. This is not an Signature Plastics set which can have 25 MOQ for a single kit. With only one base set it would be possible but not with two. So splitting up base sets is not an option.
Because base sets are huge there is no place for these keys inside of the base kits. Making an extra kit for those niche keys, with support for both base sets and with MOQ of 100 is questionable.
