[GB] GMK Klassiker - Production completed - Shipping
« on: Wed, 29 September 2021, 07:51:51 »


Guten Tag,

I've teased this set a bit already, but here is the official announcement for it. The idea is pretty simple, I like old sets and an all time classic is OG Beige, but instead of running yet another L9/U9 dual color beige set, I opted to create one with a single base color. It's a light beige tone that is roughly between L9 and U9, and will be matched to a RAL tone. For accents, I really like the RGB accents that some IBM Model M keyboards have, and were featured in several other keysets already, but I was never too fond of their deep saturation. For this set, I picked lighter tones that aren't as strong, but still colorful, I think they fit really well.

GMK Klassiker will launch on October 15th across multiple vendors with a simple 3 kit approach. An International kit is available as it felt mandatory for this project. I wanted to do as few kits as necessary to make sure all MOQ's are easily hit, as we still have quite high lead times with GMK.

TL;DR: Boring beige office keyset is boring.

Congratulations on an excellent idea and for keeping it elegant. It's an interesting take on a classic, featuring Norde+ support from the start and covering the basic layouts; I'd say that depending on shipping costs—that is insane, recently—I'd be in.

Yeah. Typical.

I understand the frustration, but international kits for GMK sets are just too expensive with the existing languages already. Adding Mediterranean layouts to that, which have a very low adoption rate going by previous sets (I'll have to make a statistic for Milkshake, it supported those languages as well), just makes it too cost prohibitive.

Is it possible to know what ral are you running with?

Can we know the RAL? even if it’s an estimate?

Currently I have multiple RAL tones selected as candidates for the beige color, as I have to see how they turn out as ABS plastic when we do the samples. 080 90 05 Japanweiss one, but RAL 1013 Perlweiss (the beige from GMK Noire) is also a potential candidate, I'll be able to evaluate that one when that set ships as Japanweiss might be a touch too light.

Oblotzky I love you, but why must you do me dirty like this? No 1.5U Supers is so sad :(

6u spacebars?

Sad to see that R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn are missing for 65% users. I like it otherwise.

Those would be keys for a Extension kit, which I opted to drop for the first round of the set to keep it condensed and easier to hit MOQ.

I believe the R1 Page Up besides the R1 End and Delete keys should be an R1 Page Down.

You are correct! Thanks for spotting that error.

if only there were r0 available  :(

I did strongly consider it, and I do like a fully sculpted Cherry profile, but I'm always worried that it's too aggressive for the broader audience. And I want this set to have a wide appeal to ensure it hits the targeted MOQ's.

Dear Oblotzky, I suggest you rename the Europa kit to Norde or something in that line because calling it Europa implies that it may cover most European countries, which is not the case. The name produces expectations that it does not intend.

Was about to say it, a ISO-DE kit is understandable, Germany is the most populated european country, but nordic kit ? The nordic countries have a combined population of 26 millions...
France ? 67 millions. Italy ? 59 millions. Spain ? 47 millions. Poland ? 37 millions. I think you get my point.

The idea was to have German names for all the kits, so I went with Europa instead of International. Technically International should be a worse name when it comes to implied coverage, because International would be every layout in the world. But given that International is a German word as well, and people are used to that kit name for the coverage, I will change the name for the kit. Just remember to pronounce it in German when you read it out loud!

Population does not directly correlate to participation. People from the Nordic region have been very involved in the keyboard hobby. I just checked the sales for the past 12 months. Orders to Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland (a combined Population of 27m) are 2.8x the sales of Spain (47m people), 4.87x if adjusted per capita. You could argue that the sets with International kits have higher sales in the Nordic countries compared to Spain as their layout is covered, but I would guesstimate that when accounted for that, it brings the factor down to 2.5x or so as sets with International kits are few compared to all the items I sell.

That is solid logic, and I agree that people from south European countries are not well represented in MK group buys, maybe because so few of them include special kits for their layouts. It may be hard to say if the offering limits their involvement or their lack of participation limit the offerings.

From my own experience IT sector is much more developed in Nordic countries compared to Italy and Spain, considering a lot of people in the community are either programmers or at least related to IT, it makes sense.

Jeje, yet, personal experience does not represent a trend. The fact is that GB with other than Norde+UK sets had not had enough demand. Again, either demand commands offer or the opposite the bottom line is to include such sets in a double shot GB does not make sense. Sorry.

Those legends are something I am going back and forth on. I do like single line legends, but don't really like abbreviations like Pg Up.

not true, GMK Nordeuk++ was already created and bought without any hassles.
Recent GMK Electric GB also contained Nordeuk++ addon ($59). It's still a mystery to me why a regular Norde addon costs the same in so many GBs, and why GB runners don't choose the Nordeuk++ kit as a standard instead, which was developed by GH users in common effort/discussion/colaboration (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=99984.0).

Klassiker refreshing

No Numpad sub legends

⏎ Return for a bit of flavor

Caps
Lock


Page
Down
etc

OG. Line break legends are great. Unlike abbreviated 'Caps' on a stepped caps lock.


On brand — love the details put in here and previous sets Oblo (similarly for T0mb3ry and Hiney keysets with them line breaks)

Not too much to report currently. Production order was placed after the GB closed. I've received the first batch of samples. Green is final, getting another round for blue, red and beige. Will post photos once I have those done as well so you can see the entire set of colors in harmony rather than just one by itself for now.

Is the beige gonna be matched more closely to the kit renders or the board renders? At least IMO the board renders are a bit more of a cream which I like a little more.

An N is missing, I'm sure you'll increase it

Another sample for the Beige has been requested from GMK. The RGB accents are all final, so together with stock CR for the legends we are now 4/5. I'll post a photo of the samples once we've hit 5/5.

He said he was aiming for something between L9 and U9.  Umka is definitely more yellow, so it’s safe to say it will be different.

I posted this on Keebtalk a while back for some beige comparisons

9009 and Beta are L9.  I didn’t put any U9 in the photo but it’s a bit darker, as you probably know.  I’m guessing he’s shooting for something like the AT101w or pingmaster colors on the top row.

If there's any chance to also add some reference in the photo - like a GMK WS1 or CRP keycap...
Beige aficionados would be very grateful.
