This is great news, super in!
However the form has what seems to be an error: the "what kits would you buy" should be multiple options and not a single option question I think.

Looks very cool, but not all areas of the world are covered in your list of vendors. I'm in South America. So where should I order from when this runs?
a vim kit maybe? anyone?
Good pairing with Korean Beige!
Any plans for a colevrak kit?
Otani's squirrels

could you post a render for all icon mod?
Most notably, a R5 bottom row. This bottom row creates a nicer and more full sculpt which gives the pleasant vintage aesthetic 9009 is all about.

There currently aren't any South America based vendors I know off. However, Dixiemech can definitely ship there!

Was really excited about this, but then dissappointed by the new icon mod alignment. This would be insta-buy for me if you kept the original icon mods.
Even if I had to buy another kit to get the old icon mod alignment I would buy it.

Another half-nutty idea: given that there's already the expectation of high sales AND some international versions (Korean) have already been asked about...
Could the base kit be separated into "alphas only" and "mods only" halves? So, for example, if I wanted the... Tartessian runic alphas instead of the regular US English layout, I could buy the the "alphas kit" for that one and the "mods kit" and not have a bunch of unused alphas.
I know it is NOT a viable option for kits with "relatively low" sales numbers, but could it be arranged for a larger amount (like Oblivion was, and like this R3 is expected to be)?

It would drive the cost per kit up quite significantly. Not just that, a lot of people have been expecting an R3 to get their first full kit of 9009.
Aside, what the heck are Tartessian Runic alphas?

That's kind of the point. I always hear "this would drive up the cost per kit", but I have no idea about actual numbers on this. What if the price increase for this option for this particular GB turns out to be... (let me get a number out of my ass here)... say, 6 bucks? Would that qualify as too much, for the added flexibility it would imply?Aside, what the heck are Tartessian Runic alphas?
Any chance of a Hydro child kit?
A helluva lot more than 6 bucks. To give you an idea, a separate alpha kit with number row goes for around $60. A separate TKL mods kit goes for about $80. A full standard 145 keys GMK base kit goes for about $130. By chopping up, you pay $10 more and you lose a numpad. That's how bad it is.

I see a minivan backspace, but no minivan enter key in the 40s? i.e. 1.5u R3. Would also like to see R4 1.75 Lock key, though that being less necessary.
Other than lacking accent ISO enters , this looks like fire
There's only a Black on Beige enter , not accent (aka Red and Green) enters in that kitOther than lacking accent ISO enters , this looks like fire
I assume you mean just in the base set, theere is some in the additionals kit

R5 is really nice

Just a general thing to the people who don't like the current ISO support or other parts of the kits/set in general. Please fill in the form, this is an Interest Check and we're very open to feedback :) A lot of things can still change before the GB so fear not ;)
Feedback on the R5 / open question to 40% users. How will R5 be on a 40%? My first thought was "that's going to hurt your thumbs like a mad man". I'm no experienced 40% user so I'm not the right person to have an opinion about this, just something I'm wondering and putting on the table.
janglad, hope you can include an option for people who already own a previous version of the set that would like to get those R5 keys!!!There's a R5 compatibility kit in the works for WoB/ Classic Beige somewhere on GH rn
a vim kit maybe? anyone?
If there's enough demand we can definitely add one, however, we already have a lot of kits as is and all of them of course need to hit MOQ.
No chance of an Ergodox kit? :(
Me 3No chance of an Ergodox kit? :(
Might be unlikely, but I would love an ergo kit
Main thing I see is the most common 65% layout is [Home, PgUp, PgDn, End] but you have moved the R4 end to the additions kit so although it mentions 65% coverage you will have a lot of people being forced into another kit for 1 cap if they want correct legends.

Im so excited you guys are bringing this back!
Could there be any room for Accent Colored Enter Keys In the 40's Kit too.
I know it drives the price up...but I can assure you, us 40% users will pay heavily for that little detail :)

The reason we don't, is because there are so many enter keys, and all of them would need three keys each. It would end up being like 15 enter keys in that kit. Its just too much money. Were just worried about giving compatibility, in general.

R0 is gonna bring the price upWhy would R0 increase the price? It did for Carbon because they had to make a lot of molds, but those now exist. Is there something else that would make it more expensive than R1?

Laser ALT sporting red Sky Pandas
Yes, yes, yes: I would love to see this happen.
Thank you for the clean numpad! I love it when the alternate legends are removed!
ISSUE #1:
For the sake of specificity, I would love to see the actual profile row numbers of the keys appear on the renders. I'm particularly worried about the insert key (but because of the way this is laid out many other keys also have ambiguous profiles):
the standard kit shows two different insert keys but the pink one looks to be R1 while the beige appears to be R2.
If I'm a 100%/TKL layout user (Hint: I run 100%) this is a kick in the teeth: I really want the choice of an R1 beige insert key (can you tell I like the colors but I don't want THAT color on THAT key) but it looks like I'm stuck with pink at this location.
REQUEST #1:
Can we please get some abbrevations running on this layout?
- 'Ctrl' in 1.5u and 1.25u variants instead of 'Control'
- R1 'Ins' and R2 'Del' instead of R1 'Insert' and R2 'Delete'
Unabbreviated legends just seem so unnecessary most of the time.
Cheers & Thank You for running this!

One more time: Will Norde and VIM caps be included?Man I hope so. Hopefully the runner jumps in to confirm/deny eventually.
I agree - full name, like Control, looks better on caps - super retro look :thumb:
Is there any other way to put a legend on Control than Control?

Ctrl. But we're seeing so many GMK sets that use Control these days, that I don't blame you for forgetting about CtrlShow Image(https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji14.png)
Anyway, my vote is Control on both 1.25u and 1.5u since that's what the original G80-9009 board used.

I failed my sarcasm to look like it, sorry. Ctrl. is for the peasants, Control is for kings. We are kings, aren´t we? ;)
noob question: how do the colors here compare to epbt 9009? the renders look much brighter than my epbt set. is this a limitation of pbt in general - duller colors?

Based only on color, I can't tell. I guess the vim keys look slightly darker and are not shiny, but it may just be an optical illusion with the green legends. It is difficult to see the difference. Is that your point?
Looking at the renders again, they do look close. It's mainly this one in particular, the alphas look really white and the enter key looks like a brighter red:Show Image(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a02c663268b961642ad2bbf/1563393659914-3JFV7SVE33M4NR4352PM/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kPTrHXgsMrSIMwe6YW3w1AZ7gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fDoOvxcdMmMKkDsyUqMSsMWxHk725yiiHCCLfrh8O1z4YTzHvnKhyp6Da-NYroOW3ZGjoBKy3azqku80C789l0k5fwC0WRNFJBIXiBeNI5fKTrY37saURwPBw8fO2esROAxn-RKSrlQamlL27g22X2A/Xeno_Angle.jpg?format=1500w)
maybe, i'm just crazy ;D
...
That is my point exactly. My 50 kb is a salad of OG Cherry and PBT caps and they match quite well. Though, it is not totally fare comparison for ePBT because those caps are new and my OG's are already worn off, but it makes the point that they look pretty close. However, the main difference is not the color but the shape: PBT caps are a bit more conical and their tops a bit smaller than Cherry ABS caps; but, nothing that can be seen easily. Hope that helps with your decision.
Hi all,
Cool to see this set come back once again!
I have some concerns regarding the arrow placement. I was scratching my head when I saw the explanation of the old down arrows ending in the middle of the cap. And the new ones being centered on the middle point. None of these things seem to be correct. The old legends actually go further down than the middle, and the new ones are not centered in the middle but also sitting further down. So the idea of it being centered is not really what is currently happening.
The second issue is the weight distribution of the symbol (the arrow) it self. They can simply not just be centered, but they need to be optically centered to not seem off (because of its odd shape).
In the new revised version it seems to me that the arrow is sitting too low, thus making it feel really bottom heavy and not centered at all (to me at least).
I made a quick sketch to show what I mean. My revised version is the one on the far right.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/vA5bCQX.jpg)
See this as constructive feedback, and it's just my opinion .. happy to hear your thoughts.
Cheers!

Am I tripping or the option icon in Modern set is upside down?
Is it possible to get a 'command' icon (⌘) while we're at it considering 'control' and 'option' are already there?Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/dN108uQ.jpg)
That icon is Alt, not meant to be Mac Option.Alt is functionally equivalent to Option on mac os
Oh my.... I can't believe this is coming back... Take my money!!!
Alt is functionally equivalent to Option on mac os
Forgive my ignorance, I just have never seen that icon used in windows context of any kind, same as the Ctrl "arrow up" icon from the same kit. On the contrary in mac os ctrl, alt (option), command icons are used everywhere
The pricing
Pricing is TBD. But I can tell you this: it'll be cheap, and it'll be cheap from day 1 ;)

How much was the base set for the last group buy?
https://unicode-table.com/en/2387/Yeah, I understand they are distinct. It's just that I find frustrating the need to find a middle ground between the icon that's actually used and the one that's barely used. We can leave it at that
https://unicode-table.com/en/2325/
The two icons are distinct.
GMK's Alt icon is kind of a compromise between the two: it's missing the arrow like the Mac Option icon, but it's flipped around like the standard Alt icon.
How much was the base set for the last group buy?
I don't know how much it was, but I can 100% say it was more expensive than this one is going to be because there were way more keys included in the core set. Jan mentioned this one would cheap from the get-go

Looking forward to it! I will finally be able to build a classic looking board with an ivan enter
It's a old layout available on the GH60 PCB and the GH60 satan. It's essentially a split ansi enter (instead of a full 2.25 u enter key , you use a 1u and a 1.25u key). It's pretty memey and that's the only reason I want to build a board with it. Like this(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190726/4bc095bf68950bf95f36856770439cb7.jpg)Looking forward to it!

"Tiny Intersection Enter" (as it covers the area common to ANSI and ISO Enter keys, much like BAE would be the union of both areas).
Pricing will be announced at a later date, but yes the base kit will be quite a bit cheaper than the previous round obviously! That much I can say :)
this has to be the first GMK base kit I've ever seen that doesn't have the extra 2.25 shift included. any chance it could be moved in?

I'm very excited to bring this classic back, we'll continue working on this behind the scenes and will be back with more updates soon!!! :D
Hey everyone!
Here are some kit updates!! :)

Hi Janglad. Given the recent trend of designers choosing WS1 as the white of choice, will you stick with L9 or go WS1?
I admit I'm biased as the only BoW Portuguese caps that have been made in the GMK era are WS1 and not L9. A detail I missed when I joined and didn't think much about until I saw the two side by side
Thanks for your eventual answer

WS1 is distinctly whiter than L9. This set would be substantially changed from previous revisions if the designer were to do that.

Yes, 9009 without L9 would not be 9009. This is definitely not something that will change.

I think Accent colors on at least the 1.75u and 1u Enter Keys on the 40’s Kit would really be a nice addition.I second this.
Just 4 more keys, and many many 40% could have those sweet sweet Accents. :)
As long as we're talking about adding keys... here is some food for thought.Feeding a bit more food for thought:
As it stands now, the Addition kit contains full support for UK ISO (eight+two keys: ISO left Shift, ISO Enter, R1 `¬, R1 2", R1 3£, R3 '@, R3 #~ and R4 \| — also, two accented ISO Enter keys). This means that three out of the four keys required to fully support US ISO are present... with only R3 \| still needed.
So, the Addition kit could well add one key: R3 \| and bring full UK+US ISO support with it.

Some time ago, I was using this vintage NCR set that was depicted as an US ANSI international set, featured by a Lab keyboard intended for international use. An R3 ~` key may fits it as well.
Wait, what happened to the 1.25u Enter in the obscure kit? That was the entire reason I was interested.
I need a R3 1.75 Enter, but I ain't sure if the included one is that size.
Good. I cannot pass on a classic and my all time color-way favorite.I need a R3 1.75 Enter, but I ain't sure if the included one is that size.
It is. 1.75u and 1u are pretty much the standard 40% Enter sizes.

I must be confused but it seems like they are there? At least for something like a Tada?
With any further additions to the Addition kit (such as moving the Alt Gr keys there, as someone suggested (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101623.msg2794138#msg2794138)), I'd like to ask you to consider moving the R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn, R4 End keys to the Standard kit. They're pretty much as common as the other competing options at this point — if not more so — and this will help avoid bloat in the smaller kit. I see I'm not alone in asking this.
The 9009 r3 deserves to get its own Norde-UK.Awesome setup. Is it hand wired? Where did you get that nice case?A Nordic kit would be nice :)+1++1+++1

Nice changes to the icons. I'd consider it as an improvements.R5 makes this run of 9009 the real classic thing. Even more, if you consider that it features r5 with 1.5 mods which would be a first in icons version in this color way.
I don't know about R5 tho. Would it make 9009 R3 out of place compared to other sets?

isn't the bottom row icon mod kit r4?
It is not explicitly stated. The OP should confirm it.
Modern
Want to add a modern look to your set? Or maybe you’re just a fan of the uniform look having only icons on the modifiers gives you? Then this kit is for you! It features icon modifiers for all of the bottom row, escape and 1.75 control while also adding a more modern interpretation of the tab key and caps lock. This kit features a more modern R4 bottom row.
Have to brush up my reading skills, sorry. So that means that only the main kit bottom rows are both, 1.5 and 1.25, R5?

In that case R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn should definitely be moved to the base kit as well. At which point it may not be worth moving anything at all.

Hey Janglad,
Not sure if this has been answered elsewhere, but is it possible to get the bottom three arrows in R4 added into the modern kit? Since they would still be row 5 currently.
We felt like using Fn there is definitely the most popular option which is included in the kit obviously. Very very few people asked about moving the end key in the form (sub 0.007% brought it up out of 430+ replies) so it seems like that assumption is correct. We have to really balance out the Standard kit for the price point we want to hit, because compared to say Minimal there are a lot more keys (5 more accents, 2 options for tilde and pipe and such).
a vim kit maybe? anyone?
If there's enough demand we can definitely add one, however, we already have a lot of kits as is and all of them of course need to hit MOQ.

So a VIM kit has requested a fair bit. My issue with this is first that we already have 6 kits and secondly the fact that it won't be all that cheap of a kit. Especially if we also offer the HJKL arrows. You're looking at 12 keys for basic VIM at least (alpha-green-red), but then you probably also want to add in the VIM novelties like in the 9009 VIM kit that was sold after 9009 R2. I'm just afraid that with there already being quite a bit of kits, adding another semi-expensive "optional aesthetic" kit is not a good idea.
A VIM kit does not have to be a full thing with accent colors, nor anything fancy like vim control or vim escape. The kit that was offered before included all those keys, like 15 keys or more, because it was an stand alone kit. But now, a basic vim kit is what fits this set better, just four keys with arrows as secondary legends along with hjkl, not more.The simpler the better: HJKL with arrows in base color for both cap and legends.a vim kit maybe? anyone?

Wanted to put a vote in for 3/4 PgUp and PgDn in base
Would love to see a simple vim kit in the base colours in a standalone set or perhaps merely include the vim keys in the Addition set together with all the other quirky keys+1 for an HJKL arrows set included in the Addition kit.
Child kit prices will be deciding factor. 99$ is exciting for a base. However,
- VoC on novel keys is 115$ including iso support, Numpad, 60% with arrows support.
- 8008 on Dixie is 130 with the same support as VoC
- Voyage on cannon keys is 124 without iso but plus accent space bars.
It only makes sense that if you get less, you pay less. It remains to be seen if the savings are scaled with what's taken away.
That being said, this is a beautiful set and I'll be picking it up! But it won't cost me 99$.

THAT'S SOME RIDICULOUS CHEAP PRICE!
Future GMK sets take note. This is how you make an affordable and highly coveted kit!
Missed opportunity to include the nav cluster icons in the Modern kit. Just seems odd to discuss TKL compat with the arrows and then not even include nav cluster options as well.

No idea, just grabbed the first and best image of the g80-9009 I found :)
Wouldn't have noticed if you had not said anything lol, not that familiar with iso uk
Studying other results that key seems to be blank on many keyboards for some reason

Would really like if this time this kit was the first modern one with a 1U key with the full Alt Graph text. Do the 9009 stuff right, then think about addons.. But maybe that's just me.
Your picture is of a keyboard with the UK ISO national layout (note the 3£ key), while the ones from those four links are all US ISO national layout (note the 3# key), where they didn't bother putting a legend OR going with a long left Shift (which would have made those keyboards ANSISO hybrids).
…
That reminds me, for the Norde kit: I really wish this doesn't make the mistake all sets seems to do these days - € on E. It belongs on 5. Sure both keys have them on the "AltGr layer" but 5 is where it traditionally belongs. I think of E€ as a new thing even though I'm sure it's been a thing for 10+ years now lol

Depends on the country! Some national layouts put it on AltGr-5, some others put it in AltGr-E (and in the UK, it's been moved to... AltGr-4).

So, is this getting Norde caps or not? Since this is like the most popular set I'm assuming so but I see no renders or confirmation.This is a sick keyboard.
Just so I can save some money for this, if that's the case.
I already have the epbt version but really want it in gmk, and with R0 and R5 :)
Also, I don't think it makes any sense to not have sublegends on the numpad if you are going for the classic 9009 look. More old school, not less. Preferably also a numpad enter that says "Enter Xmit" etc. And some fun Deal novelties :)
Not as important: And a Caps Lock that says Caps Lock. Not that stupid down arrow again. If anything that should be in the Modern kit and the underscored Up arrow in the base kit. But again, that's one of those keys that just used to have text. So if you're going for classic/retro, Caps Lock with text.Show Image(https://i.redd.it/d4da8zjej4q11.jpg)

The groupbuy starts next month and we still don't know. That doesn't help. Like I'm sure there are plenty of people like me that needs to make a budget. If I'm going to spend 1/8th of my monthly income on keycaps I need to prepare. Especially since we always have to buy an insane amount of extra keys just to get the few we need (talking international/Norde etc sets here).

I'm out. This breaks too many compatibilities to be worth it.
But I'm still confused. Are we getting Nordic support?
With the popularity of the colorway, the fact that it has stock colors and that R1 and R2 owners also might be interested, I would honestly be surprised If wouldnt make MOQ.
Hopefully we can garner enough interest for this to make it into the GB.
Isn't MOQ 150 sets? That isnt a given with Norde on any set
The groupbuy starts next month and we still don't know. That doesn't help. Like I'm sure there are plenty of people like me that needs to make a budget. If I'm going to spend 1/8th of my monthly income on keycaps I need to prepare. Especially since we always have to buy an insane amount of extra keys just to get the few we need (talking international/Norde etc sets here).
There was a NordeUK kit for 9009 R2. MOQ for addon kits is 100, it sold at €54 (which from what I remember, is the lowest it could possibly go) and didn't even hit half of the MOQ. I'm not expecting R3 to sell double of R2, so it seems like kind of a risky bet to add it. Especially, again, considering how many kits we already have.
I see the start date. OP do you have an estimate on how long this gb will run for?
Trying to get an idea of how long I have to get the cash. Too many hobbies fighting for my wallet.
Would you consider a partial Norde kit? Considering that UK is already covered, then keys that fit in most Nords' layouts may be considered?But I'm still confused. Are we getting Nordic support?

Norde would be a nice addition :)If Nord's a reality, you vikings'd better buy as many sets as possible. Considering that beige is so classic you'd get adapters for any ANSI OG set.

Child kit prices will be deciding factor. 99$ is exciting for a base. However,
- VoC on novel keys is 115$ including iso support, Numpad, 60% with arrows support.
- 8008 on Dixie is 130 with the same support as VoC
- Voyage on cannon keys is 124 without iso but plus accent space bars.
It only makes sense that if you get less, you pay less. It remains to be seen if the savings are scaled with what's taken away.
That being said, this is a beautiful set and I'll be picking it up! But it won't cost me 99$.

From my understanding of how gmk pricing works, I expect the child kits here to be pretty expensive and drive the overall package much higher than the normal gmk bundles.

Is it possible to get 1.25u shift added to Obscure kit? It’s required for the most common staggered 40s layouts.
Apologies if this is obvious, but what are the row heights for the raise and lower keys in the obscure kit? R4 or R5?
What's a standard gmk timeline these days assuming we close October 1? Next year some time?

I think 4.5-6 months has been what I have been seeing. Maybe on the lower end of that scale for 9009 since no color matching is needed.

Good point, not sure how we overlooked this/nobody brought it up. We will add that in. Thanks for the feedback :)Apologies if this is obvious, but what are the row heights for the raise and lower keys in the obscure kit? R4 or R5?
They are R5 :)
Could there be a kit view that shows row profile for each kit?
Was reading about the limits on numpad compatibility with the R5 row profile just was interested in some clarification. Already joined 9009 when it came out and plan to join r3. Thanks for all the communication in the IC!
How do the new legends / icons compare with ePBT handled 9009?
Is there a trick to identify the sizes of the keys on the bottom row? I specifically need 3x1.25, 2x1.5, 1x2.0 and 1x2.75. Would the standard kit be enough?No trick. Modern layouts have 1.25 mods and vintage ones 1.5 and 1 unit mods. The base set has both, thus, seven 1.25, four 1.5 and four 1 unit mods. It should cover your needs regarding sizes. As you say nothing about legends, it should be that you do not mind them.

Anyone with GMK 9009 caps and some old OG Cherry could show me those caps bottoms? Compare both next to each other?
I just want to see how thick is GMK 9009 compared to original Cherry caps.
can't really tell in the renders, but is the spacebar also r5?

ALRIGHT! Now I'm not sure if this has been mentionned or adressed.. but there seems to be a green insert missing from the base. We get Pink: esc, enter, and insert However Green: esc, enter. Anyway to add this last minute? I would be nice for an all green A E S T H E T I C as well.
I know I made a stink about the numpad, and in the end, pricing is good with the numpad kit. Thanks OP!

For that matter, I still don't understand why the base kit has one (1) 1.5U "AltGr" key, even though this kit has otherwise no support for anything other than US English on ANSI (and the corresponding 1.25U key in the same kit is "Alt", not "AltGr").
(also, R3 \| on the addition kit, yadda yadda yadda)

The Alt GR key is just a nod to the original, it isn't on the 1.25u key cause it kinda looks too cramped there. It was this way in R2 too.
Also not sure what you mean with R3 \| key in the addition kit? We added full ISO support a while back. The \| key pictured next to the shift is R4
Any news on the Norde kit?
can't really tell in the renders, but is the spacebar also r5?
There is no "R5 spacebar". Spacebar will be the same as with regular GMK sets.

Thanks for doing the r5, but if the spacebar is not r5, wouldn't the height/angle of the spacebar be different from the rest of the row?
For the obscure/ortho kit, is there a big difference in how the keycaps are between the R5 keys (i.e. raise & lower) and the R4C 2u (R4 spacebar)?
Btw, i can't really tell from the text on this site: https://dixiemech.com/gmk9009r3 because the white color font blends too well with the background color for me. Just wanted to confirm that the obscure kit does have a 2uC spacebar?
Thank you, looking forward to this

Just looked at Dixie Mech and the Obscure Kit pictures show Shift and Enter as R3. They should be R4. Are Planck users out of luck, or does the pic simply need updating? Also, without a R5 Fn key, the Base+Obscure combo doesn't seem to achieve a full R5 bottom row for Planck users unless they do something awkward like putting the two Super keys on the bottom left. Is $140 worth not having correct legends for even the most basic ortho layout?
