[IC] GMK Skeletor

So, this is an idea I played around with.  If there's interest, I'm going to try and do it through Massdrop.  I also plan on seeing if there can be proper cardboard boxes for storage if it's part of a buy.

Ideally this would be a kit that builds basic coverage into it for basic ISO, Winkeyless, 1800, Pure, symmetry, and swapped Caps/Control.  AFAIK the 6 unit space bar is only off-centered, so I don't think I can build in true HHKB, but maybe some of the MX boards would work with that?

GMK colors:

Purple - UN5046
Cyan - UN6037
Yellow - CV
Green - AE




Anything else people can think needs to be added?

Also, if a mod could add a poll to the top, that would be awesome.  I'd love to see if people want it split into kits or if they want to do a universal kit.

What windows logo do you plan on going with?

I'm thinking W8, but I forget which ones they have available.  My preferred are W7 and W8 or, if I go retro, Windows 1.0 (GOAT Windows logo).  I also think the newer logos go better with that out there coloring.  If this was the 3B/L9 set I love, W95 would be perfect.

I really hate the W95 logo, but I know some people get all crazy for it.  If that's the case, I could probably have a pair of 1.25 W95 caps in the everything pack.  Alternatively, since most the people I've heard who go crazy for it also use 1u Winkeys, I could do the 1u winkeys with the pad printed W95 logo.

If you could have some alternative to the win8 logo that would be fantastic. Whether it be blanks, win95, or win7. 

Also, if possible it would be nice to have alternatives in both 1u & 1.25

Anyone have any tweaks that should be made?  I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to a lot of the different layouts, so let me know if there's anything essential missing or anything that you might want to see added.  Also let me know if there's anything non-essential in the kit.

With the way it is now, I believe it should cover G80-1800, winkeyless and 1u winkey Koreans, HHKB (with off-center spacebar), and Pure layout.  It also should cover the White Fox, but without row matched profiles on the far right.  Ergodox and Planck just add too many keys that no one else can use, so I'm not including them (though if I go MD, I suppose I could make them optional kits).

Yeah, it's just a little more subtle ;)



It really says something when this is subtle compared to another set.

It's a minor gripe, but the only thing I didn't see was a 1.5u Backspace, however I saw the 1.5u Delete, so that should work fine.

Not sure what you mean by that unless you're asking for the Enter and Esc keys to be separate.  I'd prefer to make everything a universal pack to help everyone out, but, if necessary, I'd split it into child deals (assuming there's a promise that they get made).

Not gonna lie, it's partially me wanting to help people out and partially me being selfish.  Proxied international orders means more sets hit and closer to MOQ.  I do like to try and help people, but it's not 100% altruistic, even if I wish I could say it is.

I'll be hitting GMK up for one and I'm seeing about getting a render (but they're pricey for me).  I've been playing around with an alternate idea for a BS fully MX compatible switch (trying to improve this so the spring is not part of the mechanism) or I'd be trying to figure out how to do a proper render myself.

Well you are still helping people get the set and it helps MOQ. I don't see it as selfish but a win-win situation.
