I don't know if it's only me, but when I heard Zoom, the first thing comes to my mind is https://zoom.us/ :DYeah, seems as a lot of people gets confused by the name :p Might be this quarantine that makes people think of Zoom as something else :))

Came here to say this (hey, cool diagram!).
There IS one UK key, though: R4 \| in the base kit. But all the others are missing.
Other than this error, that base kit is the best I've seen in a while.
Looking great S3LQ! The deskmat is porn!Thanks buddy!
Don't know if I'll join this with the two kits I'm already planning to buy, but I do think it looks awesome!Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!
Finally a proper maroon set. Sexy and definite in for oneThanks! Very glad you like it!
Looks nice! do you consider making alpha legends red/maroon as well?Hey! If you leave your request in the form I would greatly appreciate it!
Cool set but those renders have a lot of artificial shine to it, hard for me to gauge my actual interest with that.Thanks for the feedback! We are going to be updating the renders, keep the same renders but improve lightning and shining!

Cool set but those renders have a lot of artificial shine to it, hard for me to gauge my actual interest with that.Yeah I see that now too, I got carried away.
Pretty cool. Solid 8-8.5/10. I bet it will do well.Thanks! I hope it will do well aswell! :cool:
Glad to see Auramech running a gmk set! Custom keyboard is expanding in Canada!Aura is a great guy, I'm pleased to get the opportunity to work with him!
why not use stock colors. CR is basically get black. RO1 is burgundy or pretty close to what looks like your red wine. I'm sure the others arent too far off as wellI did go through a lot of color matching and checking what fit well together. But I just didn't find a good match with the stock colors, I couldn't find what I was looking for, so I tested out with Pantone and ral. And found out that RAL was what I was looking for!
So the rename happened! I love it man, def in fo a set when this goes live. :thumb:Thanks Rob! Appreciate the support :p
what is the purpose of the random kanji? it doesn't seem to fit the theme in any way whatsoeverThe kanji letter means «Real», I put this as a novelty since I think the symbol is nicelooking, and being real is always important
Why is it named Evil Dolch?I renamed from Zoom to Evil Dolch so it would fit better. Evil since of the red theme and style, and dolch because of the colorway
My favourite shade of red, looks awesomeThanks! Glad you liked it :p
Okay, coming in for another pass... ;)Hey, thanks for feedback! We are working on updating the module!
Core module:
- R1 \| there is a mod-colored version, but not an alpha-colored version (I would say the latter is more important than the former).
- Consider having mod-colored F1..F4 and F9..F12 keys (in addition to the alpha-colored ones; perhaps in a child kit?).
Nordeuk module:
- The AltGr keys are missing.
- The kit has too many alphas missing... but there are too many present if you go through the dreadful "ne tertiaries!" route. Notably, 2" is missing, although 2"² is present. Check out http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/Possible-International-Kits-for-Custom-Sets/#NORDEUKPPP (http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/Possible-International-Kits-for-Custom-Sets/#NORDEUKPPP) for a full reference for your module.
Liquify deskmat design: lovely. I'll definitely be getting one.
Small thing I wanted to day is that white legends on the burgundy keys would be much brighter and pop off. What do you think?Thanks for feedback, that's could for sure be experimented with!
Anyways awesome set :)
Great choice on the rename. Good branding. Actually makes me want it more. Goes to show that we are all mindless automatons bending to the irresistible will of marketing 😳🧟♂️Thanks! Glad you liked it :p
NorDeUK Layout updated!
that deskmat is so niceeeeeThanks! Glad you like it :cool:
Hey!Hey, thanks for the feedback! Whenever I find vendors and get the price for core module and the other modules I will go through a process of making the set affordable, or "normal GMK price".
Always nice to see a fat nordeuk kit! And lucky me i am also diggin the set :cool:
A few remarks, I could see on your update your are going full on ++ style.
I am just afraid making the kit so big with custom colors, it will bump up the price to much. Better if you cut off the support for FO and the half ISL and PT. ( if not to many oppositions ofc)
But this will make the kit hopefully alot cheaper and have a better chance of being picked up :thumb:
Hey, thanks for the heads up! Will fix that :thumb:NorDeUK Layout updated!
Now it's too big! What do you Scandinavians want with Portugal, anyway?! ;D
(also, <> in the NordeUk kit can be taken off, since it's already in the base kit)
Looks goodThanks! Glad you like it :-* Make sure to fill the form if you are interested! :p

You are right, might not fit the theme properly. But I figured it was a nice looking touch. If I see more people comment on this being changed, I will do so.

With dolch R5 and modern dolch R2 around this corner. This is a little too much dolch. But I dig it. Just not enough to justify buying it after I get all the modo R2 kitsI can see that, need to find a fitting time where no other dolch sets run! Thanks

Any chance to get some French AZERTY ISO keys ?
Since pipe/backslash and tilde/quote are there, can we also get an angled brackets key with modifier colours?Any answer?
Any chance for a R0/R5 kit?
Hey! That could for sure be added, we are going to start finalizing the different kits, so we will run through all the feedback and finalize all the kits. We will probably cut out copies from other kits, and try to add the needed keys. We want to make this affordable too, so we can't have too many keys in base kit, hope you understand!

Why not just run this as a modifiers add-on kit? No need to run the alphas.Hey, thanks! That could be an option, if you check out the form, there is an option of running extra kits.
The modifiers are beautiful on their own.
A small suggestion regarding the NorDeUK kit: you may want to drop all of the sublegends on the keys. :) Currently the kit is quite large, and doing this will help reduce its size, since there are several keys that only differ in their tertiary legends and are otherwise duplicates. For example, the R4 <>, <>|, <>\; R1 2"@, 3#£, 4$€; etc. could all be removed if you decide to drop the sublegends. (The R4 <> can be dropped in either case, since it now exists in the base kit.)Hey! Thanks for this, this will help us with finalizing the sets!
And speaking of which, you can also drop the R4 \| in the base kit; it isn't necessary with the R4 <> around.
The kits look good otherwise, both in terms of size and compatibility.
if you decide to remove the sub-legends, then the Norderuk+ addon is no longer a multiple language kit support but a "universal and defective" one, which is kind of pointless IMHO.I won't remove the sub-legends, but I will cut down duplicates and unnecessary keys I've added.

Thanks! I’ll think about what I’d like. A lot og people interested in the NorDeUk kit, but reaching moq is another part.if you decide to remove the sub-legends, then the Norderuk+ addon is no longer a multiple language kit support but a "universal and defective" one, which is kind of pointless IMHO.
While this is true, keep in mind that having a “universal and defective” kit can also mean having a kit that reaches MOQ, as opposed to one that does not. This is GMK, after all; NorDeUK kits usually reach MOQ only in exceptionally popular sets (1000+ base kit sales). I don't know if this set can reach those numbers, and for that reason, it might not be a risk that's worth taking. But at the end of the day, it's up to the runner to decide.
I would just like to recommend keeping the following in mind: Would you rather fully cover the main part your intl layout and forgo the sublegends for the less frequently used characters — or not cover it at all (i.e. only cover it with US ISO)?
I am a sucker for burgundy. I think this will be my first GMK purchase.Really nice to hear! The colors are being a bit updated, you will still get the burgundy feel, but a bit brighter!
Still any chance to get some FR keys ? ;DConsidering we run a NorDeUk kit, that would most likely not be a thing we would add, I'm sorry. Otherwise, make sure fill out the form with you wanting FR keys, and if there is a lot of people who want it, we will consider it!

You may want to include a 1.25u convex space key in the spacebar kit. This is useful for 2.75+1.25+2.25 split spacebar setups, which are very common, as well as for Alice-like ergo layouts. 1u space could be useful as well.That’s true! I will look into this and look for better sulitions! :p
Perhaps four Enter novelties is too much? I'm not sure which of the two designs I prefer, but I know I probably wouldn't need both of them.
Edit: grammar
since we went from Nordeuk++ to normal Nordeuk to make a $10 cheaper kit (sacrificing 13 caps for the remaining languages support), I no longer have interest on this. sorry!That's sad to hear, I'm trying to adjust it to bigger groups than each individual. Sorry it doesn't fit you :confused:

What's really missing is the R4 angled brackets in a mod colour to complement the short left shift. I won't ever get full italian support, let alone the 142 layout, on NorDeUK kit but I can live with the missing keys.since we went from Nordeuk++ to normal Nordeuk to make a $10 cheaper kit (sacrificing 13 caps for the remaining languages support), I no longer have interest on this. sorry!Would this be a better option for you?Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/WzSb19p.png)

honestly I think people who presumably would buy the Norde kits, will buy it either if is cost less $10 or more $10. So I think a regular Nordeuk++ addon (like the one previously run by @RETURNISO and which cover more languages) would be a better choice for everyone and also can contribute to have more interesteds from the different countries.You have a point! I will look more into this for sure ^-^
but then, if most of the people have a different opinion please go ahead with the shorter Nordeuk addon!
Interested for sure!Nice to hear!

Actually, not dropped, but moved to the NorDeUK kit — as it stands now, neither kit has the R4 \| key, which IS needed for the English (UK) layout.

Yep, that key does seem to be missing at the moment. Also, the R4 <> in base should be alpha-colored.

- Consider adding one more R4 1.25u key, whether it's a convex blank in the space bar module or a "Menu" or (better) "Sys", "Meta" or "Super" key in the base kit. Why? Future-proofing!
The HMKB group buy (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=106072.0), which just closed, has (among other options) a TKL layouts where the 6.25U space bar is split in the usual manner (2.25+1.25+2.75), which requires eight 1.25U keys in the bottom row instead of the usual seven all keycap sets provide. As far as I know, Maarten's Eon87 PCB is the first one to do so, but if this innovation does become popular, "shortages" will become an issue; in sets with common colors (think U9+L9 or Wob), this will be easily solved, but in sets with custom colors, it might be quite more of a problem.

Sorry, but this is not quite right. The mod-colored R4 <> key should be removed (it's an alpha key). The R4 \| key should be moved from base to the international kit, where all of the other ISO-UK keys are.
In summary, the base kit should contain alpha R3 \| and alpha R4 <> only; the international kit should contain alpha R4 \| and everything else it already does.

I don't think that's the right approach. You cover this by adding a 1.25u space key to the spacebars kit (which the OP should do), not adding more 1.25u keys to the base kit.

I think Evil Dolch works better than any of those alternative names, if I'm being honest. If you really want to change the name, maybe Orc Fortress, or something to that effect, could work?I tend to like Evil Dolch as well, but in the long run, having dolch as a part of the name for this set might not be the smartest considering a lot of people in the community (including big names) says it's not a dolch set.
On an unrelated note, have you considered offering a red-on-black alphas kit? I think this set would look good in an all RoB configuration.
A lotta big names bicker about icon mods for a page and a half, or a key w a big X on it, and I think there was more discussion about the appropriateness of dolch naming for modern light than there was here. I bet you can shark up an equivalent number of people who have issues with other aspects vs the name.Thanks for the input! :-*

I think in that case there was much more of an uproar because a) it was the FIRST egregious abuse of the name on record ; b) it was QUITE an egregious abuse of the name ; c) it was from a designer who was expected to know better in the first place.
In this case... a) "Evil Dolch" is nowhere as bad as "Dolch light"; b) there is already precedent... not that it SHOULD be followed.
If the thread starter is willing to renaming the set, I'll applaud him for it (and will try to come up with a good name myself, to add to the pool of suggestions).
I know I gave you the suggestion to change the name, and gave you examples like "Hitman" and "Yakuza" to match your theme, but come on now. Having multiple options for a new name AND putting Evil dolch as a name, which is also the top of the list, is a poor way to do it and in bad taste. You keep on pushing the Evil Dolch despite multiple people telling you to do otherwise, and I think this is a bad play. Hopefully me putting this message here, in the public, will further help you make the appropriate name change.
I want to add, of course people will vote for evil dolch as a name, since the rest of the names seem very forced and half assed. You seem to be avoiding names that are far more appropriate for this set in order to stick with Evil Dolch. Please, don't treat the name Dolch like this, even though most of the newbies don't respect it nor value it doesn't mean that the rest of this community does too.
I love N9s mix n match ability with the half dozen other sets (Nines, terminal, sky dolch, skidata, eclipse, dark, what else am I missing)Yeah, seems to fit very well with other colors!
is the Nordeuk kit already closed or a Nordeuk++ is still possible?For this run this is the Nordeuk kit we're running, I'm sorry if it doesn't support your needs. If a new round will happen this is something we could look into!
Stopping by to say: Nice update!Thanks disco! :-*
What are the dimensions of the desk mat? Is it made of cloth? Soft or hard? Overall, the keycaps are looking amazing.
Sorry for the late answer, but thanks! This is the right info about the deskmats, kono will be the supplier for the deskmats! :pWhat are the dimensions of the desk mat? Is it made of cloth? Soft or hard? Overall, the keycaps are looking amazing.
Most standard deskmats are 900×400 mm and either 3 or 4 mm thick. They're made out of soft cloth with a non-slip rubber backing and stitched edges. Here are some specs from Kono's website (assuming they will be the deskmat supplier for this GB):Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/njCjbwB.png)
Looks really good! I wonder how it might look with slightly darker alpha legends. either way, definitely interested.
I love this keycap set !Hey! Glad you liked it! A blue version could be really cool for the feature! But would be similar to GMK Sky Dolch
Maybe one day the same but in blue :crossfingers:
Holy **** those desk mats are nice-Glad you like them :cool:
Ahhhhhh I already told myself I'm done with keycaps for the year...but okay I'm in. :'(Hey! Glad you like it :) We are currently in talk with Asian vendors, will update whenever it's been settled!

Finally after realising how much seduced I am, came to understanding the name - because the devil has stolen my soul and I will pay for the unholy pleasure of seeing and touching... and that is truly EVIL!! :DThanks! :D
I don't know what my first build will be, not even sure about the form factor....
Also getting more lost every time i read about yet another switch...
But I am surely fixed on the bloody (literally) good one and only keycap set!
Starting backwards - so diabolical! :cool:
What I see in it you may ask?
- the proper hellish dark theme (for my dark den)
- the lettering so deadly sharp like devil horns (for my poor eyes)
- the red accent so full, bold yet balanced like best Merlot (for my sinner taste)
- the subtle yet intriguing novelties (for creative pleasure)
Thank you S3LQ!
Is this dropping soon?

Please update the renders to more accurately show N9. The alphas are far too light and inaccurate to the supposed colors you are using.I agree that the board renders might be a bit off. But the kit renders are how they are supposed to be. Getting a good n9 color on board renders with proper lightning is hard, especially in maya, where there's not any hex color system. But the kit renders which actually shows the set is how they are supposed to be!
Dayum, evil price tag to match!lmao, gmk prices do be evil >:D
Any ETA on when they will ship?ETA is Q2 2021
