What's up with the £ sign for num roll "3" key. Isn't it suppose to be # sign?Oh crap, didn't notice that :P will def be fixed
I hope this is a mistake and will be fixed.
Cool color scheme. Much similar to Oblivion and Solarized/Penumbra as far as text editor / terminal color schemes go.those are some really good suggestions :) I'll def fix/add most of the things you mentioned. Thanks
Would love to make some suggestions for the kit:
Keys missing / revisions:
- Spacebars look differently colored. There should be matching, alpha-colored spacebars.
- Add modifier-colored `(tilde) 1u and \ (backslash) 1.5 keys
- Add Alternative homing keys: F, J, and 5 barred -- assuming the F J and 5 in the main portion of the kit are all scooped.
- Revise "Ctrl" on the 1.5u bottom-row keys to "Control"
- Please revise the "Fn" 1u bottom-row keys used for Tsangan (7u spacebar) layout to Super so that it is consistent with the standard bottom-row keys.
- Consider adding one more 1u Alt and 1u Ctrl bottom-row keys for consistency of HHKB layout.
- Consider adding 1.5u bottom-row Super keys for HHKB layout consistency (using 1.5u keys programmed as the OS key)
- Add Numpad zero (0) 1u bottom-row key for 1800/CP/split-zero layouts.
- Consider adding 00 key for numpads
- Consider removing one 2.25u Shift (there are three in the kit; I think only 2 are needed for Clueboard/660 layouts)
- Spacebar kit:
- add 2x 1uC keys,
- add 1.25u blank key,
- include both 6u offset and centered spacebars
- there is no need to have 2x 1.75, 2x 2.25u, 2x 2.75u spacekeys. I believe only one of each would suffice.
A few more uncommon suggestions
- Consider a uniformly-colored F-row (dark modifier color)
- Consider using R5 as the bottom-row profile -- molds are available for different modifier sizes now, thanks to Carbon R2!
I hope you can consider all of these!
I love the kit, and am totally going to buy it!Icon mods would probably be possible, sadly, there are no available 3d models for them, so I can't render em :(
Are icon mods (like ones in GMK 8008/Modern Dolch) a possibility at all?
Also, colored mods with alpha legends would look nice and stand out a lot, but that might just be me. I really like the colors of Nord anyways and coloring mods would make them pop more.
Also signature code?
Big fan of this since the initial tease on reddit a week or two ago. Big fan of this and will definitely get this if it makes it to GB.
That being said, I do want to agree with a few of the points I've seen posted.
- I'm not the biggest fan of the spacebars, maybe an alternate color.
- Barred F/J pls
- Mod collered symetry keys
- 1.75 R3 Control/Function
- Uniform F row
There was some other good stuff posted as well, but these are the main ones for me.
Really hoping this one makes it to GB phase.

What he said + icon mods.
Icon mod is about preference; kit design is about compatibility. You can't just ask for icon mods and assume that will be treated the same as asking for specific kit configurations. Unless you want a separate icon mods set that definitely will not hit MOQ.
Please include a 3# key in the base kit.
The icon mods for both shift and capslock key not vertically aligned are bothering me. both of the icons should be aligned just like tab, enter and backspace's icons.
Would love to see vim navigation keys added either in the base kit or through a separate kit. Having vim keycaps seems so fitting for this colour scheme especially since it is based off of an IDE Theme. Would also appreciate a 1.5 Fn or 1.5 Alt Gr key.
I'm absolutely digging the colour scheme and wish you the best of luck with the group buy in the future.
I've bee very keen on this set ever since your first reddit post. It's like if you took Oblivion and made it more blue and replaced those silly text only mods with icon mods, and those are both positives in my opinion! :thumb:R5 bottom row would be pretty cool ;)
LightningXI gave a lot of great feedback, but I'd also like to mention specifically for me alpha colored spacebars are a must (if not in the base kit, maybe in another) and R5 bottom row would be nice to see as well.
Nice job capturing a very handsome color scheme.
Given how many kits are in the Oblivion and Dracula ICs, maybe this would be a good candidate for a "small and cheap" style of kit design, like what they did for GMK Minimal.

I like this, but it could use some tweaks IMO.
To match the simplicity and sophistication of icon mods, I'd change the two line legends to one, like "Num" instead of "Num lock", "Print" instead of "print sc", "Pause" instead of "Pause break" and "scroll" instead of "scroll lock". Then I would also change the legends for multiply and divide to the alternate ones.
Interested, but please pull out the numpad as separate kit.

Nice looking design. As others have said, reminiscent of Oblivion.
Would be nice to see single color legend mods.

Is there a specific reason you chose muted blue colors for the alphas and their legends instead of the usual white/gray-ish legends like the other IDE themed keysets?
I prefer the Nord theme over the other IDE themes but I find this keyset a bit lacking, at least visually, compared to them and I think that's mainly because of the legends.
The Nord theme has a nice muted colorway but with the mods, alphas and legends being a muted blue, it just looks a bit too pale? Not sure if that is the right word.
But that could just be me given how popular the reddit post was and you mentioned that it's just inspired from the theme.
Nonetheless, it's still a good keyset and I'm sure it will hit MOQ.

I can see what you mean. IMO, OP chose to stay 100% true to the color palette, but iy would be interesting to see it with the "usual white gray-ish" as well!

I actually disagree, I wouldn't want another boring, medium-dark mono set with some color accents. Stick to the color scheme, because it's a handsome color scheme.
I want this! Any info on when the GB is gonna start?

After seeing the color comparison from GMK Dracula's IC thread I think I like Nord's colours the best but I prefer the monochrome modifiers offered in Dracula. Please consider adding something similar to Nord :D
Any new developments on this? I'd prefer to opt out of numpad if at all possible, saving some money to allocate towards a space bars kit instead.Interested, but please pull out the numpad as separate kit.

I’ve been thinking about that honestly. IC form shows that 60% of people want the numpad to branch off into its own kit. I’m going to decide after consulting with a vendor, but as of now, it’s going to remain in the main kit.

Maybe make one and see if people like it more?
Unless he chose the colors deliberately like that of course.
It would still be 100% true to the color palette, I would have just preferred the Snow Storm instead of the Frost colors from the Nord theme for the legends.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/GxN1q5B.png)
Update at the moment seems to be that we need to wait for a timeslot for this to happen, as there is a lot going on now! It is still happening tho.
Looks really nice! But they're going to be ABS rgiht?
Is it possible for a colored spacebar in the spacebar Kit? Maybe a color or two from auora or frost?

Will forward it!
Exactly. I would think it would add a bit of pop, while still being somewhat understated with how muted the colors are. I'd be super interested to see what it could look like in renders, because I feel like it would be so sick to have that muted purple or blue.
Interested if it includes a Colevrak kit.+1
Suggestion:
The base kit supports ISO, but supports properly neither US ISO or UK ISO: for US ISO, the R3 \| key is missing (there's a #~ in its place); for UK ISO, only two out of the six needed symbol/number keycaps are present (R3 #~ and R4 \| --- missing are R1 `¬ , R1 2" , R1 3£ , R3 '@).
My recomendation (obdis.: WDIKAA) is to replace that one R3 #~ key in the base kit with a \| and call it done for US ISO support. Then expand NORDE support to NORDEUK and put all the missing UK ISO keys there.
Also, add a numpad comma key to the NORDEUK kit because commas. :cool:
Would love to see Tsangan support in the novelty kit!This. And I'd also like to see proper US ISO implementation.

While I appreciated that the Novelties kits is bottom row icon mods I would like it to be more comprehensive for those that prefer Tsangan layout (and on a Mac).
The “Modern Kit” from Modern Dolch is a good exampleShow Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190819/67e624dbea808ba3a87d7aa155ce70a8.jpg)

yeah this set definately needs an icon hhkb control. Preferably in the base kit, although it probably makes more sense in the novelty kit
I LUV IT, im in however it would be nice to consider a novelty kit with more differentiation. Maybe something similar to gmk dracula ERR module would be nice
I really like it :thumb:oops, forgot to mention it. Thanks for pointing this out!
Note that the Norde kit also fits Swedish. OP does not mention that.
Really like the deskmats.
Disappointed with the Numpad seperation. Savings *might* be 10$ a set. But Numpad kits will probably cost 30-45$.
VoC, nines, Voyage, etc. Numpad included for prices between 115$-130$ and so far the only set without Numpad below this is 9009 at 99$.

Minimal and Jamon were both at $100. Peach Blossom will be at $100. If we look at the numbers for Minimal from Dixie less than a third of the purchasers (204/681 -- 30%) bought the numpad. Honestly, I think it's a little selfish to ask the large majority pay $15-$30 more for the base kit because the minority doesn't want to spend an extra $10.
]I'm not trying to be selfish, just an observation. I didn't have the info minimal, peach and jamon. Thanks for that.
However, if we argue that Numpad users didn't just buy Numpads, the that means 204 of 681 helped MOQ. When Numpad users get fed up of paying more to have Numpad support and just wait out sets that included it for a reasonable price, MOQ maybe become hard to hit depending on thresholds. Also, if prices are dependent on certain levels of buys, that again will negatively impact prices.
Just sayin'

I love the updated look and the novelty kit! If the NorDe kit reaches MOQ I am definetely in! One more question/suggestion: did you consider center aligned modifier icons (as in https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101623.0)? I like that look way more than the top aligned icons.
Is there any chance there will be a kit with different accents on the spacebar and escape key?
And are there any dates of when GB might happen?
No 1.5 Alt, Ctrl in R4 novelty kit?
A poll for alignment is recommended. I have read divided comments on this feature at the 9009 R3 thread.I love the updated look and the novelty kit! If the NorDe kit reaches MOQ I am definetely in!

that's an interesting idea...
Are you set on the colors? I would love to see a render of the set but with Snow Storm colored legends instead of Frost.
And a monochrome set would do this set really good imo because it already has muted colors.
I think MOQ should be easily possible with the other IDE themed sets running them too.
+1 for more compatibility in the Novelty kit and aligned mod icons too!

It's funny how times have changed, a few years back, when GMK Carbon R1 was on Massdrop, base kit which includes numpad, etc, was able to reach under 100 bucks.

I can't find GMK Carbon R1 on Massdrop, but R2 seemingly barely hit 250 MOQ on base kit and priced out at $160. https://drop.com/buy/gmk-carbon-custom-keycap-set?mode=guest_open
If GMK Nord goes up against GMK Dracula, icon mods + lower price will differentiate it enough so that it hits MOQ. No numpad means 17 fewer keys in the base kit. GMK Vaporwave, with custom colors and a numpad, sold for $125 - this will hopefully price at $100-110 without a numpad.
I'm still on the fence for my Q4 purchase but this is super interesting!

Do you know how many base kits it sold?
Drop generally has the ability to get lower prices because they have a much wider reach and are able to sell more. More sold = lower price.
Additionally, Carbon R1 had a lot less competition, whereas nowadays you get about 6 GMK sets in one month.
As I recall, GMK Carbon R1 is one of the first to make it over 1k order, for base kit alone. Also back then, there were price drop tier, more order placed, the lower the price drop. 99 for it was the lowest it can go for base kit. We do not get these tier prices anymore, its 1 price no matter how many sets sold. In a way, sellers get to profit more as order increases. Although I am not sure what is the exact deal with GMK currently, maybe no more tier prices from GMK.Drop still offers price tiers, as the way they process their payments allows it (payment at end of GB). Other vendors aren't able to offer them as easily, as they take payment at time of order - price tiers would involve manually partially refunding every order.

I've seen seven requests in the thread so far. Granted, that's not a lot, but so far I've been ignoring it. I need ortho and Colevrak. When a kit has neither I'm not going to bother looking into it. Since this a solid assembly kit is now planned I am interested.
Ortho users are more likely to also adapt alternative layouts, so it could have a chance. Not sure what MOQ is, but I am willing to pay more to get it made.

Gtrx hasn't said anything since August... This makes me pretty nervous about communication after the GB closes... And where have people been "hearing" November or December?
I'm planning a late q4 release (around November) Nord and dracula going at the same time would be bad for both keysets.
I gave up on the Dracula for the Nord .... so he better say something...
OP Just posted a mini update on reddit with the addition of an assembly kit. So he's around and still working on this project.

Posts on reddit are at r/mechmarket (https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/duaecb/ic_gmk_nord_now_with_40s_support/) and r/mechanicalkeyboards (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/duaecq/gmk_nord_now_with_40s_support/).
Suggestions for the 40s kit:
- Add four 1.25 R4 modifers. So many 40% boards need them. Also, by adding them I think it'd cover all boardwalk layouts (https://imgur.com/a/wGKjWd9), some of which use four 1.25 R4 mods. Another reference: mk ultra's boardwalk plate foam has a variant (https://mkultra.click/collections/60-foam/products/boardwalk-plate-foam?variant=28685745193013) that uses three.
- Add a 1.25 R3 enter which is used by UT47 / UT47.2. It's less common but starting to be included in many recent gmk 40s kits -- eg cafe, bingsu, coral, phosphorous
- Make backslash-pipe key mod colored for aesthetics
The colors and set overall look pretty great.

The kit is nice but with all 1u mods, it's just an ergodox and ortho kit, not a "40's" kit.
Not sure if its been mentioned before but one of the ISO keys in base is incorrect.
The highlighted key should be alpha coloured, not modifier coloured.Show Image(https://imgur.com/W7itgcM.png)

I guess not. I paid 70 for the GMK pulse Colevrak for that very reason.

Does Colevrak worth to have it? I meant, considering that I need Norse symbols myself I am in the same boat at different side; but, again, does it?

Good question. To me it does. When it comes to legends I could go two ways: novelty legends such as Hiragana, Rams, etc or accurate legends. I don't need the legends, but I don't want generic QWERTY when I don't even use it. Some keys would match, others would not. Does that matter? Logically no, but logic is not what dictates the drive of this hobby.
I want something customized which makes me happy to look at. GMK makes that very hard for ortho/Colemak DHm. I know, I could stick to regular 60% staggered QWERTY, but I care about ergonomics and comfort more than looks. To me, the end game is to have the best of both and there's no compromising for that.
So if I have to shell out $70 more for Colevrak, I do it. I know I'm a niche user. To me, it's worth it considering I don't build keyboards and shelf them for display. I use them daily. I curently have three Corne's. Two of which I want to be perfect.
If GMK Nord can cater to that, I'm going for it. If not, I'm keeping my eye out for other opportunities. That said, I'm very much inclined to support the alternative kit here. Maybe I'll just do something quirky like putting all legends in reverse. But that depends on the pricing.
You share a really good point here, people are more interested in alphas that look nice instead of alphas which are functional. Hiragana has around 170 requests. While colevark and dvorak combined have around 50.

If it'd be Hiragana or Katakana monolegend I'm all over it.
I'm very excited to see movement on this, as well! I know there are a lot of GMK group buys going on these days, but I've been watching this one for awhile with much more interest than any of the others. Also, patience isn't my virtue. lol. Thanks for the update Gtrx!
That’sa huge shame. Nicest set I think I’ve seen on here!

hiragana is very possible
Hiragana sublegend kit would be incredible with this color way, fingers crossedPlease not sublegends.
Same, don't care for Olivia at all.That’sa huge shame. Nicest set I think I’ve seen on here!
Yes, huge shame. I prefer this to Olivia++
Can hiragana be an additional alpha kit? Or could we put in a poll if it’s a decision of replacing the base alphas?
I’ve been waiting on this set for quite a while, and would be gutted if the alphas get swapped to hiragana, or katakana, without an option for English alphas.
I accept I very well could just be in the minority on this one.

+1. Hiragana sublegends don't make sense to me on a set like this. If it's a child kit who am I to judge but for base I'm out.
Besides, I'd be surprised if molds for hiragana NorDE keys even exist, so that kit would be kinda dead as well.

What about something fun like Nordic sublegends in base, or Nordic main legends with US sublegends? That pays homage to the name and somewhat obviates the need for NorDeUK.

Hiragana wont be in base.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the colors initially (for no real reason), but this assembly kit is terrific and the colors are starting to grow on me.
I love to see designers support alternate layouts and languages (I guess I shouldn't be surprised that IDE inspired colorways appeal to people that use weird layouts, but they all look so good).
40% gang are rascals, they adopt completely nonstandard layouts, but still stick to the stagger of their oppressors.I wasn't the biggest fan of the colors initially (for no real reason), but this assembly kit is terrific and the colors are starting to grow on me.

I don't get it, but there's a layout for every fool, and I'm glad this set covers most of them.
For a set based on a text editor theme, I think text mods instead of icons should be the default
Hiragana doesn't fit at all tbh
Nord is ftw though... looks better than Dracula
Is there any significance as to why Control and Alt colors are different for left and right? And is there a final decision yet on the possibility of having the Caps and Shift icons left-center aligned like the rest of the icons?

Different colors for ctrl look better. I’m leaning towards left centrred, but haven’t decided yet.

Not sure if you caught the incorrect coloured ISO key I posted a few days ago from the latest renders, but the Bse R3 key was mod coloured not alpha coloured.

Does someone has a full image of these legends?

Another question would be which "nordic" layout?
-Denmark
-Finland
-Iceland
-Norway
-Sweden
They're all pretty similar ofc, but itd be good to nail one down

Do you have any rough feel for lead times? Not ordered a gb key cap set before.

Agreed with everything here. I too bought in on pulse + colevrak.
I wonder if it would make things easier to roll colevrak in with the norde kits for gmk buys? No idea.

Pricing details soon?Waiting on gmk.
Agreed, you seem to have a lot of \ | and Esc keys in the base kit. I’m also surprised to see two different legend colours for Control, which I wouldn’t expect from an editor-themed set (if the colours are supposed to represent syntax highlighting, I’d expect the same colour for every word).
Man I really wish there was a separate modifier kit with this (Iknow, I know extra modifier kits are few & far between with GMK runs). With this being so close to Oblivion & me going in on a set of Oblivion V2 I can't justify buying this as a whole base set. Although I really think the icon mods of this would go perfectly with Oblivion. Guess I should've paid more attention to this while it was in IC so I could've voiced that ideal. I think between everyone who already own GMK Oblivion V1 & those who got in on V2 there would've been enough interest to run a separate modifier kit.
when do you think it will start the GB ?
you have price quotes now?
Any chance of the ergo mods being blanks? Or offering them in addition?
Is January GB date confirmed? Or still up in the air?
Hi! I'm planning to build my first custom keyboard and I currently have a DZ60 pcb and I really dig the design of this set. Does this set support the 2u shift + arrow keys layout of the DZ60?

the base kit has a full arrow cluster as well as a 2u shift in it so you should be fine! theres pictures of the kits and what keys they come with on the front page of this thread.
There is no barred J in the novelty kit? Is it too late to add one?

Wait? Did u mean to say modifiers colored instead, and not alpha colored?
If it's alphas colored, it breaks the symmetry on the right side.

Almost 130 Euro for a base kit without a num kit? Isn't that a little high with a regular MOQ of 250?
Just wondering, no critique - would love to hear a clarification on the pricing :)
Given the pricing, I wonder if it still makes sense to have so many custom colors.
Really nice set, hope to get one of the 250!
Just realized not a single row 4 1.25u mod in the Assembly kit. Welp, I appreciate the attempt to support Minivan but literally no compatibility for anything else in the staggered 40s realm because of this omission. I wish I would have checked sooner. I have been waiting for this set for so long but now I don't think I can justify buying at a $200 price tag for novelties plus assembly.assembly has 4 1.25 u keys, I forgot to post the render! Sorry!

I find a keyboard without homing too hard to use. I guess this one just isn't for me. Wish I had noticed earlier.
Bruh why are you throwing us scoopers under the bus like this?I find a keyboard without homing too hard to use. I guess this one just isn't for me. Wish I had noticed earlier.
Yeah, that's too bad, but in case someone is reading this without context, there is homing in the base. It's just the VIM "J" in the novelty kit that doesn't have homing. Although, OP could take out the non-homing J and replace it with a homing one. GMK probably charges the same price so no requote is needed. All OP and vendor have to do is tell GMK that one key is being replaced for another.

Also I thought that more colors meant more MOQ, but not more price? 128 euros seems high for a numpadless base kit.
do you still planning on moving forward with polar lights after this is finished?
Definitely buying at least the base kit when the GB is up! There are just the colors I've been looking for. Interested in the novelty set as well.

Cant make any promises, but if gmk responds this week, updated pricing and gb date should be out in the end of next week or a little bit later.
It looks like if someone wants 40s support then they will have to get the assembly kit that comes with all R3(?) alphas. What if someone wants the normal profiles (for example r1-r2-r3-r4-r4) for the alphas AND 40s support? Will they have to buy the assembly kit AND the base kit?
If this is the case, then I really must insist that a 40s kit be done separately from the assembly kit.
And r3 iso key should (imo) be the \ | one, since having only one UK key makes it cover 0 layouts, while having \ | makes it cover US-ISOThis.
you might want to consider moving R1 End and PgDn to the numpad kit. These keys are only useful if there is a numpad present, e.g. on 1800, CP and 96-key layout boards, so they shouldn't be included in numpadless base kits.And also this. Those two keys are useless if they're in the base kit.

This turns away so many ISO users if it means that both the R3 key is \| and the R4 key is \| (for split left shift) as having two keys the same just looks awful and doesn’t actual meet any layout in use. Prioritising US-ISO which is barely used even amongst ISO users and making a kit look worse for any ISO user feels like a poor decision.
My preference is obviously for the ISO layout I use (UK ISO) but really, as that can’t always be the case, just make sure they are different. Go with the R4 key as <> if the other key has to be \| to satisfy the US ISO users.
And r3 iso key should (imo) be the \ | one, since having only one UK key makes it cover 0 layouts, while having \ | makes it cover US-ISO

Also, I just took a look at the kits as they stand now in the initial post. The R3 #~ key is still present in both the base and the Norde kit, which makes little sense (I suggest: keep it in the latter; replace it with R3 \| in the former), and the same happens with R4 \| (keep it in the Norde kit and take it out of the base kit, and replace it with R4 <>, moved out of the Norde kit).
It looks like if someone wants 40s support then they will have to get the assembly kit that comes with all R3(?) alphas. What if someone wants the normal profiles (for example r1-r2-r3-r4-r4) for the alphas AND 40s support? Will they have to buy the assembly kit AND the base kit?
If this is the case, then I really must insist that a 40s kit be done separately from the assembly kit.

Good catch. +1 for the suggestions.

The asembly kit doesn't have only r3 alphas. It's the same as the oblivion assembly kit in that regard.

Welcome to GMK Nord, a keyset inspired by ArcticIceStudio's Nord color scheme!
GB information
GB date may get pushed back another 10-20 days, as communication with some vendors has gone silent (Asia). No quote from gmk yet. Some vendors have changed too. Deskhero.ca is now the Canada vendor and mkultra is the US vendor. Sorry for the setbacks and inconveniences.
Update
GMK is on leave until 2020-01-03. I'm hoping to get a quote at 2020-01-05 at the latest. If the quote comes in later, there are probably going to be more delays.
2020/1/10 - Still no quote from gmk. Although, there will be custom metal artisans and cables.
2020/2/1 - Quotes from gmk came in! Expect initial quotes for the kits in the coming week!

Credits
First and foremost, I'd like to thank Pheonixstarr for her help with nord. She was always there when I needed feedback and she even made some awesome deskmats and renders for nord. I would also like to thank Dave from candykeys for providing me with crucial information about GMK, contacting vendors and marketing nord. Last but not least, I'd like to thank dixiemech for his invaluable support and guidance. Thank you guys and gals. Because of your support, nord is where it is right now. Most importantly though, I'd like to thank the community for vital feedback. It's always nice to hear how the set can be made better.
Ai03: Polaris 3d model
Ender: WY-68 3d model
Pheonixstarr: TI-65 3d model, renders, deskmats, (I've heard she has a rendering service too).
Arctic Ice studio: colors, name, logo.
Edit
There seems to be enough interest for a Norde kit, thus it will be either added to the "main" kit or branch off into it's own kit :)
2019/05/13 update: New 3d models for numpad numlock, /, * are being created. Single line prt sc, scroll lock, pause break are in the works too. 1.5 control has been changed from ctrl to control. 1u fn is going to be changed to meta. 1u 0 numpad key will be added. 1u 00 key is in consideration. Proper Norde kit is also in the works. Spacebar kit has been altered: there are now only 2 2u spacebars. All the other ones have been removed. 6u center set and offset spacebars have been added to the kit. 1.5u super/meta keys will probably be added to the main kit. barred
homing keys have been added. Alpha colored spacebars are going to be added to the main kit and spacebars kit, although there is going to be one accent spacebar in the spacebars kit. one more 1u alt+ctrl has been added to the bottom row for hhkb support. Thank you for all of the amazing feedback :) .
Updates
Base kit - changed iso # r3 to alpha colors. Novelty kit: Added support for tsangan bottom row. Assembly: Better 40's support.
I forget if i mentioned this earlier but pls switch to "Control" instead of "Ctrl" on the 1.25 caps to make it consistent with the 1.5 capsBut they aren't used along each other.
yea no ****. but "Control" looks better than "Ctrl" on keys long enough to support it being fully spelled outI forget if i mentioned this earlier but pls switch to "Control" instead of "Ctrl" on the 1.25 caps to make it consistent with the 1.5 capsBut they aren't used along each other.

Also, expect final minor kit changes.
Alrgiht, the PgDn and end keys are not useless, as people might want to change up the layout of their keyboards. The second pipe key is green, because it adds visual balance. Yellow does not look good in that position. The esc key is purple, because it adds visual balance and because all backspace keys are purple. Your suggestion about the alts might make it into a later revision. I'll have to think about that.Also, expect final minor kit changes.
Sorry if I'm repeating myself, but I didn't get a clear answer, so my request may have been overlooked. Will those changes include moving R1 End, PgDn to the numpad kit? Again, those keys are useless without a numpad as they are only used on 1800, CP and similar boards, so it doesn't make sense to keep them in the base kit if the numpad itself is separate.
Also, in the current render it appears that the second mod-colored \| pipe key in the base kit has a green legend. Should this legend perhaps be yellow so it matches the Tab key? Same question goes for the 1.5u Backspace legend, which is purple atm even though it's on R2.
Finally, if you're including two 1.5u Super keys for Mac and HHKB layouts, the second 1u Ctrl should be changed to a 1u Alt, as two 1.5u Supers are always used with two 1u Alts, not Ctrls.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/RPGcdHQ.jpg)

If you read the GMK WoB extension and Hiragana thread you can see that it seems very likely that the icon mod Enter mold is a bad apple. Is there any communication between the runner or vendors of this set and GMK to make sure that the same mould will not be used in this run?
About the assembly kit, I'm a little confused about the rows in the render. Does it have a home row Esc key? Like the default position for Plancks, or what's included in most extension kits, I'm sure I'm not the only one who uses it. The Planck render even moves it to the top corner.Home row as in r3? No. No r3 esc. Only r1 and r2.
Also noticed that on the Norde kit on the 3#£ key the £ symbol is not aligned with the other tertiary sublegends, but is a bit higher.
So is there going to be another run of this? I want this so badly it literally hurts.

There's never been a first run of this. We're all waiting. Pretty sure it's going to sell really well, and I'm still worried if the US proxy will be able to handle it.

Ah I see. Interesting. I guess I'll have to wait and see if I can get any extras stock then, probably going to be difficult to come by.
Indeed, prospective date is looking to be May 1st.Any updates? Hope this set will not become second Black Lotus.
my mans gtrx is finalizing the kits and discussing with vendorsAwesome. I took a subtle shot at him on the Serenity discord last night on Nord living in IC. Was all in fun. This kit will go bonkers once it moves to GB. One of my favorite colorways.

Exactly my thoughts. MKUktra.Click is a North American based vendor.
Would assembly assembly work for Rukia or would I need base and spacebars?

The set looks pretty good. However, I'm not a fan of the fact that CTRL on the left side of the set is green, while it is blue on the right side of the board.
Pardon my ignorance - Is this set still available for purchase? I'm would like the base kit + one of the mats. I already filled up the google form linked in this thread. Is there anything else I need to do?
KW Artisan Pricing is changing a bit because its all going to be made in Austria instead of some cheap place. Seems to be that people have had enough of china QC and manufacturing after the virus :))
That will confirm - Otherwise Deskmat pricing will probably be like all other deskmats you see, for us it looks to be around 20 EUR
for visual "symmetry" it looks off without the blue ctrl on the right side.
for visual "symmetry" it looks off without the blue ctrl on the right side.
I guess? I kind of see your point when looking at the bottom row with 1.25u mods, but when looking at the 1.5u 1u bottom row, there is a lack of symmetry due to having green on only one side
I think it'd be nice to have the option for a green 1.5 u key for both sides
Hi, I'd like to know what row profile the N keys from the novelty kit will be? Did not see that info.
i think ill be joining in this set, but seems very pricy compared to the rest of the other sets
I agree with pleasega, the other sets you mention have a numpad included in the base kit, but Nord is around $130 USD without.i think ill be joining in this set, but seems very pricy compared to the rest of the other sets
I'm not sure what you mean by "the rest of the other sets", but looking through the last few GMK sets I purchased (Dark, Olivia++, 8008, Vaporwave, Dots), the main kit is definitely in the same price range as those.

Looking online, Olivia++ was $110 for the base kit, 8008 $130, Vaporwave $125, and Dots $135. Only Dark was $120 for a base kit not including a numpad. With base + numpad, Nord is looking to run at $165. :(

I've had experience with mkultra awhile back ago. When I first ordered from him in the summer of 2019, delivery was quick. But I think his business increased for his foam products so he has been having a hard time keeping up. Especially earlier this year when he had problems with his laser cutter. I don't remember all the details, but he tried to get an industrial laser cutter and it had issues and his normal one broke down. He definitely has a queue. Although for some common ones (ie 60% foams), I read some where that delivery times may be faster as he has some inventory.
I think he was supposed to provide foam for Iron 165 but didn't have production to deliver. I would say he is a nice guy and tries his best. Hopefully key cap group buys work out ok with him as keycaps are more of a logistical issue of delivery versus a production issue.

I'm sure this question has been asked a million times, but I noticed it hasn't been answered- Hoping you can provide some insights:
1) Why is the R2 pipe key in the assembly kit not the same color as the modifiers? It breaks the symmetry on Ergo kits. It looks so nice in your renders as the modifier color.
2) Why is the Row 3, 1U apostrophe key in the Assembly kit, not the same color as the modifiers? Again, it breaks symmetry for Planck- like users. Or at least offer this key in both Alpha and modifier colors.
Look forward to your reply. Thanks!
I have another question about ergo kit.
Is there any possibility to include brackets keys with the same colors as alphas too? It seems 45-50% (despite I still call them 40%) boards like Pearl (maybe), Lynx L50 and TMOv2 would like to have this keys with the alphas colors.
Brackets are mod colored for splits, so they are going to stay mod colored. Most 40% boards also don't have brackets, so they are going to be kept mod colored.
Is there a discord for this set?
Novelty kit does a pretty bad job at covering Tsangan/HHKB layouts. No 1.5u Alt keys, no 1u OS keys, no R3 1.75u Ctrl. Can't say I've seen people use 1.5u OS keys very often, so I'm not sure why those are there.
Some of that weirdness is in the base kit, too. 1.5u Super keys? Two 1u Meta keys? Why the focus on 1.5u OS keys?
It's my first time entering into a GB, how long would this take to ship? Should I buy temporary keycaps for the wait?I think you’re looking at around 10 month wait right now with GMK.
Is the base color for the alphas any close to the standard Dolch's? Just wondering if the Norde kit in this GB may be fitted along an OG Dolch set. I appreciate your feedback.

That's because having all the colors would drive up manufacturing costs a whole bunch. in the IC, I said that only 2 or 3 colors would be chosen based on ic responses. Those colors were purple and blue for the stripe.
