[IC] GMK White on Black Essentials - GB starts February 27th

[Fraaaan]

Any idea when this will run?  Still waiting on quotes?

Still waiting on quotes.
Planned for Q1 2023 now 

gmk lead times gonna be same still right like 2 years?

This set will get placed into the queue just like any other GMK GB set. It's safe to assume that it'll take longer than a year but I believe 2 years is a stretch at this point.

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

There’s also no color matching for this set. Any custom colors have been used before.

[udller]

that extension kit set is nice

[blunt]

How about the macOS 1.5u command and 1u option? 

Maybe a handful of people have asked for this so it won't be running especially considering how we want to keep the kitting price low so all kits hit MOQ

[blunt]

There’s also no color matching for this set. Any custom colors have been used before.

Actually all colors but one have been matched, the red from Villanelle is in the process of matching right now and should be done soon and should surely be done by the time this set goes into production :catyes:, just waiting on quotes now as Ankit mentioned. Considering that beige stuff (Hineybeige and Beige Addon & Extension) is running right now, this will be run in Q1 2023.

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

Blunt thanks for clarification. Thought the dark red had been matched (admittedly that other set is similar, Da?)

We wanted to match RAL 3005 ourself originally but then found out Villanelle is also uses RAL 010 20 25 which corresponds to RAL 3005 in the Classic RAL chart. I can't remember what set's red we wanted to use before choosing the Red from Villanelle or if we even had another set's red we wanted to use.

Hi, would you reconsider addition of F13 after the change of extension kitting of GMK Griseann? Thanks !

We haven't received quotes yet for our original kitting so I'm not sure how long a requote is going to take, you can also use the Cherry 1u's as F13 which looks nicer imo but we will look into it for sure.

What are the chances of you guys adding maybe wob hangul or zhuyin in this since isn't gb suppose to be all wob essentials?

It ran for sure but hangul and zhuyin is over priced in the aftermarket maybe you guys should make a poll for it since it's a really got set and im sure people would be interested

[ankit]

Hangul ran 8 months ago, it would be insane to run it again.
Zhuyin is easily available for less than extras pricing aftermarket.

Regardless, it's not happening in this set. I hope that helps.

Fortunately, GMK WoB Hangul R2 is available for pre-order on MKB.

Please consider including r1 "=", "f13" and shinethroughs, because these have been dropped from gmk griseann extension kit.

[blunt]

Please consider including r1 "=", "f13" and shinethroughs, because these have been dropped from gmk griseann extension kit.

Shinethrough is present in WoB Shinethrough which has already shipped to buyers. As far as the other keys are concerned, we’ll take a call once we get in quotes for the original kitting.

[stomaha]

Agreed, r1 = is critical to many builds with numpads (Sar!). Please please consider adding now that it has been dropped by GMK Griseann

[Yppta]

I second the point about r1 "=" its a must now since its been dropped from griseann. 

[stomaha]

I second the point about r1 "=" its a must now since its been dropped from griseann.

I would add one other point to the R1 = request: the = key has been run in many GMK kits previously, but never in a CR/WS1 WoB kit. So, unlike some of the other kit additions proposed above, there isn't a substitute circulating in the secondary market.

Hi everyone!
We have made some kitting changes due to changes with GMK Griseann 2 as well as current GB sales.

- Removed R0 from R0/R5 kit, R5 only now.
- Removed dark yellow keys from Dark RGB kit
- Removed R0 cherry logo keys from extensions kit
- Added 2 heart key, R1 F13 as well as R1 = to extensions kit
- Removed stepped purse capslock and full touch purse capslock, as well as stepped arrow capslock from icon mods

All changes have been reflected in the original post.
Kitting is not likely to change at this point but if you have any other suggestions please fill out the IC form or leave a comment.

We still hope to run this in Q1 and expect new quotes soon.

[ankit]

fixed extensions render, sorry about that 

[jeroplane]

Great job Ankit

Happy bday qt

[elvenmonster]

Definitely in for the dark rgb

[GMK83]

In for dark rgb also

[Razer1987]

A bit sad to see R0 left the kitting, was really looking for this as the old set R0/R5 extension is almost impossible to buy on the mechmarket. Rational is purely price? or the fact that R0 is not really an OG thing but something really exotic available on a few old boards?

I will still probably commit for some sets.

[Yppta]

Love the changes to the extensions kit. Would like to add that a r3 up arrow would put this set over the top for me personally, although I understand it will probably never happen.

Very exited none the less grate work ankit!

R0, like R5 is pretty expensive. The vast majority of buyers who buy the R0/R5 kit are only going to end up using R5. The change was made purely because of the price and the current situation of the hobby.

[LXVRGS]

extremely bummed to see r0 not make it

[Tomson]

Why dark yellow got removed?

[ankit]

extremely bummed to see r0 not make it

This is a kitting reduction that cuts the number of keys in the R0/R5 basically in half. The majority of people haven't tried R0 but I honestly believe it's too tall and looks out of place on most layouts other than 75%s. With the way current GMK GBs are going, we don't think it makes sense to include anymore. Realistically if we try to make everyone happy with every kitting decision we will end up with kits that are too bloated/expensive to run in a time when not every GMK set is making MOQ anymore.

Why dark yellow got removed?

Dark yellow felt forced in that kit and out of place. Black keys for supers look nicer to us for winkey boards. We are working to further reduce the Dark RGBW and CMYW kitting to reduce redudent/unutilized keys.

As a ISO user, I am really worried about Alt Gr! It would be nice to see at least the most common kept like the 1.5u R5 one or 1.25u R4. Same for shift, at least icon 1.25u would be great.

[ankit]

angry alt and 1.25u shifts will not be cut -- hope to share more soon
