GB thread is live, GB set for March 2021!!! https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=111176

It is night, the wind blows through the leaves and howls in the distance, the air carries an unnatural chill. A small house sits among the trees, weathered by the centuries, unkempt as if nothing had lived there in years. Shattered windows draped in tattered cloth blowing in the wind. Inside, a black cauldron sits filled with a purple potion, papers strewn about on the floor. The room is dark, lit only by the moon light which enters through the windows and the glow of the potion colors the room a faint purple. The house is quiet, and tension fills the air.

The floor creaks and sways as the house closes in, darkness takes over. A faint murmur can be heard in the distance, growing ever closer. Soon they surround you, voices coming from all directions. Paralyzed, you watch as mist fills the air. In front of you a pair of eyes open up as the voices stop. Silence. It slowly smiles at you, a malicious grin made of purple flames dancing in the darkness. She has awakened. Slow footsteps can be heard from behind, something is coming but you can’t move, you can’t escape. You feel weak, your vision blurring as she gets closer, her presence draining you of energy.

Kits:

- Base:

- Novelties:

Novelties drawn by OneCreativeMind

Boards:

(poor edit as I wait for the updated renders)

Deskmats:

Accessories:

I will be getting a deskmat and novelties made once I have an idea of the interest level of this set. May do an artisan collab as well, but that is way down the line atm.

Updates:

Created a poll to see about possibly changing the alpha legend color to the same purple as mods/accents. Given I am on the fence I wanted to get feedback first rather than just making the decision on my own.

Poll: https://forms.gle/ykDRjMVBY83L9jpy9

- Gray alphas:

- Purple alphas:

- March 17th
Well after just over a week, I got 111 responses to the form (great number btw) and 65.8% of people voted for purple legends. And after talking with a few friends about the set and what they thought, they also said purple looks better. And honestly it was a very
hard decision to make because I liked both options a lot, but I have come to a decision.

PURPLE ALPHA LEGENDS ARE A GO!!!

With that announcement made, OneCreativeMind and myself are trying to finish up the novelties and the deskmats to show off. Hopefully y'all love what we have come up with and are ready to support this set in a few months time (official date tba, but get
ready).

As well I have been working on updating the kits to be more of what I was wanting (more support).

- April 17th
Added deskmat designs.

1) Most likely not, it would require a lot of reworking of compatibility.
2) I will most likely do something similar to Night Runner but not set on what exactly yet.

I would empty my bank account for some sort of dagger/kunai/syringe with drips coming off of it for the novelties. maybe some small flowers too.

They are 1.75u spacebars.

Update:

Been quite a while since my last update, and for that I apologize. I have been focusing on getting some other projects out and this was being done in the background for quite some time.

Novelties are basically done and working on the deskmat designs now, will hopefully have more info soonish about those when everything is finalized.

And we now have a GB timeline of May, so keep a look out for more info in 2020 when everything is closer.

Don't forget if you have any kit feedback let me know!

All the blanks are convex, right?

Just wanted to confirm, because it's not clear with the 1.75 below.

PvtSkittles · « **Reply #41 on:** Wed, 12 February 2020, 21:22:06 »

my understanding is that the keys listed in the r4c "row" are the ones that are convex. The "c" in r4c standing for "convex".

Yes, that makes sense. I’m wondering about the two blank 1.75u keycaps in the R4 row one up from the bottom. GMK now has convex tooling for 1.75 (also 1.25), but it is unclear if these two are dished or convex.

BlindAssassin111 · « **Reply #43 on:** Wed, 12 February 2020, 22:38:44 »

I think when I made the kits I was unsure if those could come in R4c or not, I can change that though as nothing is finalized.

Similiar to dracula, but I would buy this cos I disliked the colorful mods on dracula. Nice work!

I have tried it but I am not sure if I like that more or if it will be enough contrast (I think it will but worried nonetheless). Have to decide soon so there is a chance for purple alpha legends.

I have a few potential improvements for the kits that I'd like to suggest:

Quote from: BlindAssassin111 on Tue, 17 September 2019, 17:07:35

- Base:
(Attachment Link)

The second R4 1u Fn key is redundant and should be removed.
R1 1u Backspace is a seldom used key and can be safely removed, especially since there's a R1 1u Delete that can be used in its place.
R4 2u Shift is also a key that's rarely used and can be removed, although one benefit of keeping it is that you get a mod colored 2u space replacement without buying the spacebars kit.
The R2 1u + and R3 1u = numpad setup is very odd and, I believe, very rare. I suggest replacing those two keys with a R1 1u =, as equals is commonly found next to Num Lock / Clear on standalone numpads and Mac keyboards.
The ISO support, as it stands, is partial and inconsistent. Either add the few R1 keys that are missing for ISO-UK support, or replace the current R3 '@, #~ and R4 \| keys with R3 \| and R4 <>.

Quote from: BlindAssassin111 on Tue, 17 September 2019, 17:07:35

- Spacebars:
(Attachment Link)

You should add a centered stem, alpha colored 6u spacebar to the spacebars kit.

1) Was purposeful, keeping it most likely (might change)
2) In the kit because I want it, true split backspace support (not-hhkb moved backspace "split backspace").
3) It is seldom used but most likely keeping it in. May change down the road, who knows.
4) I put this in because it is my preferred numpad layout but very rarely supported sadly.
5) Probably keeping it as is, I know it may not be full UK-ISO legend support but it is what it is.

6) I originally copied my Night Runner kits and didn't have 6u in them because I really didn't think it would be needed, but after having a topre board and running into that issue myself with a set, I will most likely add this in.

I love the purple too. The grayish white was nice b/c it brought in the moonlight aspect of it. But the all purple legends helps to unify the set. We've got a lot of neutral alphas with colorful mods lately. I think it helps set the colorway apart from the dracula, norde, umbra group even more. I likes it!

This would look pretty badass on my black murder alice acrylic case with matching purple underglow

The moon deskmat is amazing. I absolutely love it.

I wasn’t super into the spooky theme at first, but that deskmat is a must have for me. I think I have more deskmats than keysets at this point. But, that’s all we really do in this hobby anyways right? Collect deskmats.

Some comments on the updated kitting:

The Caps Lock keys are using Shift icons. I'm assuming this isn't intended, but it should be fixed anyway (change to either ⇩ or ⇪).
The R3 '@ key is unnecessary and can be removed. The ISO support would be useful for more people if it were R3 \|, R4 <> instead of R3 #~, R4 \|.
Consider changing Num↲Lock to Num for consistency with Scroll, and also because it's currently the one two-line legend in the set.
The second 1u Fn key can be removed as it isn't commonly used. Or maybe turn it into a generic key, e.g. Meta, to make it more useful.
Same goes for the numpad 00 key, which is very rarely seen outside of standalone numpads (which this set doesn't have full support for anyway).
At least one 6u spacebar (preferably alpha-colored, centered stem) should be added to the spacebars kit. Even better if both centered and off-centered stem are included, but I understand if that's too much to ask
A 1.25u space should be added to the spacebars kit for Alice support and for standard split spacebar configurations (2.25–1.25–2.75, 2.75–1.25–2.25). Maybe even two of them, one in each color, to match the 2.25u, 2.75u choices that are already present.
Two 2u spaces are a lot more common than two 1.75u spaces on 40s (Planck, Preonic, Boarwalk, Iris, Levinson...). In fact, only two boards (JD40/45) exist that use two 1.75u spaces, and they aren't even that common. I suggest changing the second one into a 2u space.

Very true! That's what i find annoying in this hobby tbh. However, it's unfortunate we don't have a choice. That's unless they increase their production team, which is very unlikely.

To be fair, the popularity of mechanical keyboards has exploded in the past couple years. It's probably difficult to keep up with it becoming mainstream.

They bought a new machine to increase production rates, was to be online earlier this year. GMK Andy discussed this on geekhack. To my knowledge it was delayed by Covid. The production times being slow is compounded by the color matching being even slower (see Dracula), and that was limited by logistics for the different colors they needed to try.

Not familiar at all on the logistics from vendors, but if JTK is an option then what about something like EPBT? Honest question because I have GMK and EPBT and the quality is surprisingly similar, but I am no GMK snob...

Maybe they don't work with 3rd party people? Not sure, but just a thought. *Fingers Crossed for this to happen soon!*

Lesgoooo! GMK IT IS! But like what i said, i'm buying either JTK or GMK or even IFK. This colorway is just too good to pass on, i'm copping deskmat too. <3

I've been following this GB from a few months back, and I have to tell you that I'm pretty much 100% set on buying this set no matter who makes them. I would even say that I'm looking really forward to it if its JTK because I heard they do triple shot ABS. Anyways, idk if my input would matter at all, but I just wanted to say I love this set and I would buy it whether it's GMK or JTK.

Pyratheon · « **Reply #131 on:** Fri, 09 October 2020, 06:37:40 »

While we're enthusiastically waiting for this to move to GB, does anyone have any ideas of well-fitting cable colours? Thinking of ordering a custom one to go with it, but not sure if a black or purple cable would go best with it. Cautious of getting non-matching purple colour, as this one is rather specific!

Apologies if it's the wrong forum for this.

Thank you all for supporting this project along the way, I never imagined it would take this long but so many things went on behind the scenes that led to delays and changing manus a few times but that is over now. I hope y'all are still in love with the set like I am, and I can't wait to see how the GB goes next month.
