11/7/20 - IC is up, changed name to Shinethrough because it felt more appropriate
Considering the following:
Non windowed Cherry (R1, R4, R5)
Full caps lock as 1 row vs 2 row (currently 2 row)
11/9/20 - if you're reading this, it means you'll get a preview of what's coming
I'll be adding the following:
R0 - cherry logo, cherry logo (w/ window) r0 scroll lock (w/ window)
R1 - cherry logo
R4/5 - cherry logo
I did consider splitting it up into 2 sets but decided against it.
11/10/20 - added vendors
Requested quotes from GMK
12/7/20 - new kit render, requested new quotes, tee'd up renders for this on a board
12/8/20 - Renders added
Q&A Area!
These are questions I received from the IC form.
Q: Are these padprinted or doubleshot?
A: Windowed keycaps are padprinted, non-windowed are doubleshot.
Q: Will I be able to select just one cap or all of them?
A: Everything shown will be sold as one, single kit.
Q: Please do other classic colors like BoW, 9009, etc
A: Maybe, but my personally philosophy when it comes to running things are to run things that I will use. I don't own Minimal or 9009 so I am not inclined to run it. Additionally, GMK 9009 came with windowed keys if you bought the "aesthetics" kit.

Sure I'm in, but for the regular Caps you surely mean to make it one line right?So this I'm honestly not sure/torn on.
KA 1953 has the full caps lock as 2 lines (for the shine through) but 1 line for the regular one.

Hm, it honestly seems awkward and off for how much surface area there is. I would push for a single line, personally.
At the same time, it does make me wonder if the reason for it is that it is actually not possible to do one line. I'm not sure.

I can agree with that. This will probably be a discussion with GMK to see if they can fit it in one line (maybe there's a weird stipulation about shine through caps and how much area we can print on).Sure I'm in, but for the regular Caps you surely mean to make it one line right?So this I'm honestly not sure/torn on.

I was looking for examples of a full size caps lock with shine through but haven't been able to find any examples.

I agree on the one line caps lock thing. Looks great, only suggestion would be to add the icon mods for caps and num as well. Maybe a purse too lol.This was created to be compatible with the regular GMK WOB base kit. I know there's a WOB Extension set that finished GB earlier this year but it wasn't my intention to create an add on for an add on.

edit: any chance you could add some r4/5 1u cherry keys?
also, i noticed with the wob icon extension pack the single-layer UV print on the LED cap was somewhat faint compared to the doubleshot white. i’d suggest looking into doing two layers of print for the LED caps here.

I will consider R4 and R5 cherry if you mail me an r0/r5 extension kit.
I will ask for the double layer of print and see what GMK says.

How about an R1 Cherry logo without the shine through? It seems to be implied in the OP that WOB came with them but my set didn't.I can consider that.

I suggested adding 1u blank windowed keys. Ideally a block of 12 R1 for fuction row (or left hand 2x6 block of F row) or 1 of each R1, R2, R3, and R4 for 65% boards.
That's a lot of windowed keys, I'm not looking to make this a very large kit or offer multiple kits. I'd like to just keep it simple with the vision I had in mind.

I'd love to see these caps in an OG beige colourway too. Not sure if it would make sense to run them both together but if not, that would be a really cool idea for the future that myself and I'm sure a lot of others would be interested in!

more ISO enter please
GMK WOB comes with an ISO enter
Good stuff, filled out the form.

KA1953 is exactly what you need. You can easily find them on taobao.

R0 - cherry logo, cherry logo (w/ window) r0 scroll lock (w/ window)
R1 - cherry logo
R4/5 - cherry logo
(if you bought the GMK WOB Extension from Novelkeys and other vendors, this should supplement it nicely)
I've also have gotten the full capslock fixed so it's one line.

Great stuff! One thing I've noticed with my KA1953 set is that there's a significant font weight difference between the pad-printed windowed caps and the regular doubleshot ones. Will this be an issue in this case too or can that be addressed and accounted for in regards to how the legends are designed?I noticed that also with my set. I will try to get it as close as I can get it but this might be a downfall of GMK pad printing.

Those Cherry caps additions. HELL YEAH
very goodCherries are delicious.
Vendors added, requested quote from GMK
This add on kit is moving pretty quickly because I think it's not something that requires a lot of tweaking (like a regular set).
GB date is TBD, but I am not really in a hurry nor am I trying to rush this into fruition (although it does looks like it is from how fast we're moving).

Older cherry logos are probably not going to happen.Last time I saw cherry icons in modern set in GMK Denim and it was custom one outlined by T0mb3ry. If GMK don't want to produce it, that's really sad, def prefer those. But I'm in for any if it's a question.

In other news, Classic Retro/9009/KA1953 colorway for Shinethrough will be happening at a separate time as a children kit for another set. (Here's a hint, it's obviously going to be GMK Classic Retro something)

Yeah that's possible, I used the GMK Dolch R5 Extension kit render as a reference when making these renders, but I might have made the logos a little bit too big. You can check out the Dolch R5 renders for a probably more accurate representation of the legend size

After speaking with Jae (of Prototypist) and learning more about the Brexit situation (since I didn't have a good understanding of what this entailed for our UK folks), I have decided to add Prototypist as the UK vendor for this set.
Moving forward, I plan on having Prototypist as my UK vendor and a part of my regular group of vendors I will run my GBs through.
