[IC] GMK TA 90 (GB will start June 24!)

[Drclick]

Most sets add ISO support to the base not as a kit. This was recently changed on GMK Olivia for example, but very few sets run without ISO support

+1, and not only the enter and small left shift, full uk iso support in most of the cases.

It looks like GMK Olivia need one more key for UK compatibility. For me there is no difference between 1 difference  and 5 differences.

Olivia has full ISO UK support but tbh even base ISO support is standard

It's missing the @' key. I'd pick either full ISO UK or just basic ISO support, GMK Olivia's approach doesn't make that much sense IMO.

Ahh yes you are correct, it offers ISO support and nearly full uk support.

Still my point about ISO being a standard that should be included remains

This was the set that got me into GMK and custom keyboards.

100% in on this one.

[shower_king]

paying tribute to OG TA, I am fond of icon+text modifiers. I think an alternative way is to offer a child kit with icon modifers or inversely icon+text modifers as child kit.

R5 bottom is a pretty good choice, these higher keys offer more interesting feel when typing comparing with R4. However, R0 Function kit is less useful but a bit more expensive than R1 height keys. Changing to R1 Function would be a better choice. But please retain the "F1" "F2".... characters with circles ,they are awesome.

[dallman5]

You should consider adding R4 1.5u controls and alts along with the various other R4 1u keys as it is fairly common on the many 65%, 75%, 96-key, and 1800 style layouts to use a mix of 1.25u, 1.5u, or 1u keys. I could imagine it might be awkward mixing R4 and R5 bottom row keys for these cases.

Other than than, I’m definitely in! Have always loved the OG TA colorway, but the original GMK run left a lot to be desired.

I prefer using R5 bottom row, I will consider using R4 bottom row or adding additional R4 row.
So I need some more feedback!

No, no please keep R5! All OG sets should have R5

Having additional R4 support was a mere suggestion to expand compatibility and hopefully reach a bigger audience so the set hits that 250 custom color MOQ. As an example of what I’m referring to, GMK Originative and Blue Alert have pretty good support for both R4 and R5 bottom row.

Some suggestions:

- Modifier colored R1 1u Tilde (~ `) key
- Change R2 1.5u Delete key to Backspace OR <---- icon key (NOT <[X] key)
- Modifier colored R2 1.5u Pipe (| \) key
- Barred R3 F and J keys
- (optional) F1-F4 and F9-F12 in modifier colors
- (optional) R3 Stepped Control 1.75u key
- (optional but may be added by GMK) alpha-colored 6u centered stem and 6u off-centered stem spacebars
- (optional kit) Spacebar kit (similar to GMK Taro's)

With some of the suggestions made, along with the ones quoted above and the R5 included as it is currently mocked up, I think it will be a strong base kit.

Most TA sets were produced with icon mods, therefore it would be logic to go with them.

[kevinzavier]

CTRL and PRT SCR being the only all-uppercase legends is surely a mistake, right?

That's how it was on the original, at least on ANSI models. German ones do seem to have lowercase Strg and Druck though.

Personally I would prefer normal Ctrl/Control and PrtSc for the sake of consistency.

is there any way we can get the legends on the parenthesis and stuff

GMK's pad-print looks terrible.

Thanks, I will think about your suggestions.

That's true, but as TA was a German company probably more boards were made with icon mods, at least that would fit the amount of found boards. I wonder which American had the idea that you need a text to be able to understand the arrow up icon  )

[Petch]

In, looks great

Is that R0/F Kit something GMK have confirmed they can do?

- Change R2 1.5u Delete key to Backspace OR <---- icon key (NOT <[X] key)

Please don't try squeeze "Backspace" onto a 1.5u key, it looks awful. Keep as Delete or use <--- icon

[Drclick]

I think they can because ivan put these keys in GMK 85|15. I will confirm with GMK later.

GMK Iris has Row F, so it definitely exists.

It'd be nice if you could keep 1800 support with the R0 as part of that kit, if it happens

[vewy_nice]

Definitely interested.

I like the original GMK set, and I'll like this one even more!

[kevinzavier]

Another suggestion, maybe an add on with windowed caps lock like gmk 9009? If theres enough interest? Seems like the og caps had them

[tex_live_utility]

Here to say what I say in a lot of GMK ICs: most GMK sets are a single R2 1.25u key away from being 40% compatible. Please consider it!

I'm pretty sure its "Tab"

[txclack]

I'm definitely in on this set. 

Any interest in grey mods?

GMK 85|15 never ran, did it? If not, the R0 kit would require new molds because afaik, those were never made. It's really neat and unique though. I would probably grab the R0 kit if it happens.

Also, I know we're trying to stay true to the original set here, but I'd personally like a scooped numpad 5. Nothing big though, I'd buy this regardless.

[ideus]

If it gets icon mods it is an insta-buy.

[midnight2903]

Would be in!

[MMKB]

Nice job getting this started in the first place! TA was my first GMK set and as much as it was imperfect in a lot of sense, I enjoyed it a lot. If this round is done right -- color samples, legends -- it should be a really pleasant set to own. I'll keep an eye on it for sure.

[richard912]

R4 1u CTRL and ALT please so that there'll compatibility for 75% layouts

[WhitePlate]

Looking forward to this!

I'd be interested in the non optional compatibility here as well if possible.

English ANSI models simply used 'Control' - it appears the Czech ANSI or whatever localisation that is went along with the ISO way of doing things.

Exactly how I feel/my situation. Would love to go full circle with TA & GMK

[Theswetiyeti]

Yes I am interested this would be geat.

[Puddsy]

can't remember if i posted in this thread or not but i'm definitely interested

sometimes i regret selling my GMK TA

Row 0 - 5 and a subtle colorway is keeping me most interested.

[Krytone]

Row 0 - 5 and a subtle colorway is keeping me most interested.

there would be a high chance this wont happen, R0 and R5. As others tried to do it, it made the set too pricey.

[romevi]

Just discovered this and too lazy to check.

Icon mods weren't in original, but maybe a suggestion?
Also, will any of the original alphas be thrown in?

[hansichen]

Icon mods, icon + text mods and CTRL is all OG, it just depends on the localisation which you choose.

That would be unfortunate, maybe a vendor could support the set and make it a reality. Gmk Iris was able to accomplish Row 0 & 5 and was a much more divisive set.

[NoChance]

Barred F & J Keys please.

[jebbra]

How about 9009-style mod? Or is this what you guys refer when saying 'icon mods'?

[romevi]

Yes, just icon mods.

[wholypantalones]

Barred F & J Keys please.

Barred are optimal, scoops also if not too expensive. Also no big arrow 1u delete key either. Please and thanks.

[CandyKeys]

Neeeeds more ISO!

Looks great tho. Would love to get my hands on this.

[AdrianMan]

Interested

[notfunk]

Very interested!

[kwyryn]

definitely interested, but the kit needs some more keys
