RANTAS
So this set? or Modern Dolch 2? or both? decisions... decisions...
wheres the hiragana
- Support for most common layouts, as well as ISO-UK.You sir, have made me one happy chappy.
Looks too close to Olivia, might want to consider slightly different colors.
i love og dolch too, definitely interested in this.
only suggestion atm is for a few more keys to be added to the extension kit, so it can act as a compat kit for those of us who already have the og set?
glwic!!!
Sweet, as an Icon+Text fan I strongly approve. (Originative's Dolch set is also Icon+Text, but they dont' have the turquoise accents)
Just curious: why not also offer R0 for the F-row keys?
Timeless set. Own one and planning to get another
These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head - 2u numpad +, 2.75u right shift, 2u numpad 0, r2 del&end&pgdn. then support for a 6.25u bottom row would be nice as well but not required. i could be forgetting things but as far as i can remember that's all that's needed to bring full tkl support to the og set. basic 65% support too if you want too?i love og dolch too, definitely interested in this.

At this point, adding too many more keys to Extension is unlikely, but if you have suggestions for what keys are needed, please suggest them specifically.

You should get one for each of your canoes...
this should come in the OG GMK trays too, for nostalgic effect

What's the second R1 2u Backspace in the Extension kit for?

The Tab and Backspace key have been added so that you can use the N9 modifiers with other alphas, while you are still using keys from the Base kit to fill a keyboard with the Dolch colorway.
For example....Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/BaA5hDl.png)
Let's say you used the keys enclosed in blue to fill out a standard ANSI TKL with GMK Dolch + red or teal accents.
You can use the remaining modifiers to fill out an additional 60% using alphas from any other set, plus modifier keys enclosed in red -- so it adds availability of a second set of potential modifiers for mixing-and-matching.
I hope this makes sense.
BTW @LightningXI can we expect the extension kit spacebars to also be R5?
Yes to LightningXI. Yes to Row 5.
1.5u Fn on R5 would be wonderful, but I understand if no. I'll just use Super...
Its like Sky Dolch but with white text.
Super down for this set :thumb:Its like Sky Dolch but with white text.
Uhhh... Should we tell him?
Thanks for using CP and not WS1 for the legends.
Give me f13 and r0 and I be gucci, at least f13 ;)
I like Lightning. I like Dolch. I will buy this.

O lmfao I'm blindThanks for using CP and not WS1 for the legends.
You're welcome :thumb: I think it's the better color for Dolch legends.Give me f13 and r0 and I be gucci, at least f13 ;)
F13 is in the Extension kit! R0 is likely not projected to be done for this set. Reasons explained previously, but my own preference is essentially what it boils down to. 1-1-2-3-4-5 ftw.
Quick musings ahoy!
The base kit is missing the R3 \| key. Everything else is perfect.
In the extension kit, I'd add a second 1U R5 Alt key (but don't touch the AltGr key!).
F13 is mod-colored (which is fine by me), but some people prefer it alpha-colored. Is there some kind of consensus (or attempt at it)?
Serious question: what is the extra 2.0U R1 Backspace key for? I've seen it in a few recent ICs lately, and I still don't understand what it is for.

It does... and it begs an uncomfortable question: how about an additional 1.25U Shift key in the same kit, for the same reason?
r5 dolch... hello

If this is to cover two ISO kits, I find it much harder to justify given the proportion of users, so it is likely that the idea won't sail.
hi dadhi son, just wondering.. are the print/scroll/pause legends going to stay as they are? i think prt sc (sys rq)/scroll lock/pause (break) would fit really nicely with the classic theme.

i'm being super super nitpicky though; those three legends aren't gonna stop me from getting that R5 :thumb:
Yeah, I know what you mean, but there's also plenty of sets that already did it, so figured I should change a few things up. Something refreshing, though I know exactly what you mean about the legends.for sure, that's totally understandable. i figured that's why you went for them.
I just realized that this is R5! It's in the title, the description, the kit renders... somehow I still missed it. Is R5 making a comeback?
Btw, I noticed that icon mods is an option in your form. If you choose not to go that route, then GMK ThinkCaps will have an icon modifier kit compatible with Dolch (given that you are not using the R4 Windows keys).
Any chance for a separate add-on kit for existing GMK/Kekkon/OG Dolch owners? Just a kit with the R5 keys and teal accents :)

I will consider if there is enough interest (I'm tallying up responses) to hit MOQ.
I am not in the position to force vendors to pick up kits to "boost to MOQ", but I will consider it in the case that there are enough ISO users (at the very least 50 kits; better if 75-100) to purchase an International support kit.
As was mentioned previously, GMK ThinkCaps is planning on an N9/CP icon modifier kit. So icons-only seems like a further unlikely option. Also based on the data, 80+% of people have expressed preference for Icon/Text style.

I will ride on this thought and instead suggest the following different idea, as per personal preference.
It's a wonderful sleeper idea, hopefully. I will be sleeping on it tonight.
Hangul Dolch alphas, yay or nay?
Basically this kit as a 3rd kit in the GB, but in CC (Dolch alphas base) and CP (white) colors. Considering adding numrow and punctuation keys, so that it may be used successfully with the Extension kit as a way to fill two keyboards with Dolch :eek:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/Ye3tJx3.jpg)
Please comment below to express your interest (I have added this for future Google Form fillouts as well). This is a real interest-check and I am tallying up numbers on every piece of feedback provided to assess viability of supported layouts and options for everyone.
Thank you all for your consideration and support.
I'm setting my hopes against both Nordeuk and Hangul!

You are absolutely free to pitch in any idea, warranted that there are enough people to back it up. However, it also means that there must be enough committed folks, PRIOR to finalizing kits, to be able to purchase to MOQ, as it is a major hassle to have vendors open up a group-buy, have a niche kit struggle to hit MOQ, and have to endure the burden of carrying a kit to MOQ (and worse yet, have to refund those who failed to push it through).

I completly understand. I've been a part of many GBs where Nordeuk-kit is barely moving forward. My hope is that base-kit will sell thousands and Nordeuk-kit will somewhat follow along.
This is a timeless classic set. Hoping for success.
time to throw away my shiny old dolch!

I’m down for Hangul if it comes with a numrow. My plan is to do Base + Ext + Hangul and then Icons + RGB from ThinkCaps for effectively two Dolch variants.Yeah, makes sense.

This and Thinkcaps... oh my...
How about some LED Caps/Scroll/Num Lock keys to cap it off?
Was there already a color conparison from dolch to modo?
Thanks, i see - especially modo alphas have a much cooler grey. Lets wait for prices ... best will be to get both ;D
Any hope to move the mod colored ~ to the base kit from extension?

Already got a set of GMK Dolch but I'm in this for the R5
Would you consider adding an extended R0 set?
Esc N9 / Esc Teal / Esc P3
F1~13
Print / Scroll / Scroll LED / Pause
Insert / Home / PgUp
Del / End / PgDn
Tab / Back / =
I would be so down for that.
I don’t normally speak out about odd key requests I have, but I’ll try not. Because I have one of the earlier Dolch sets, and the compatibility for the 1800 layout is ironically not great, since there are missing keys with the r1 profile.
Your base set includes those keys, but I don’t exactly want to buy a whole new base set for a handful of compatibility keycaps.
What are the chances of a compatibility set that includes, among other caps, compatibility for 1800 layouts for people who own earlier sets?
Any news regarding R3 \|? Given how the base and extension kits are... kitted... getting that key in the latter one seems like the best choice.
I don't think including UK keys with tertiary legends over mod-colored `~ and \| in the base kit makes sense.

I'll mark my disagreement here. Too many sets with English (UK) support omit the tertiary legends, so it's refreshing to see them present here.
... even if one of them is the ¦ character, which never should have existed (but that's a different pet peeve).
I really don't care in what set the keys are. I'm gonna buy every set that's coming out.
- Base
- Extensions
- Hangul
- R0 (still hopin'...)
Would accent color space bars be interesting to add to this? Mainly interested in red 2.25u and 2.75u.

Sorry if a dumb question -- I couldn't find the answer. Does anyone know how these colors will compare to IvanIvanovich's Dolch set from 2014. I realize legends, profile, and key sizes are different, but I'm wondering specifically of the plastic colors used. I believe the legends here are going to be slightly less bright (??) white, closer to the original. But I wasn't sure if Ivan's run had the original grey colors. Thanks in advance, if anyone knows! :thumb:
¬ ` ¦ |
Thus far, it seems to me that the last photo (#3) has the color that comes *closest* to the color of the badge. I have tried finding a color that is just a smidge darker, but even the smallest value variance (+/- 5 units) causes the difference to drift more than it is different now.
My choice for the turquoise accent color is almost certainly be the slightly lighter, but close-enough turquoise shown in #3 in the photos above. There is nothing else that comes closer than that.

This set looks so amazing, I've chosen to skip Modern and just wait for this set just curious if there will be any plans on a deskmat to match when this set runs?It's not planned at the moment but I'll look into this.
Hangul kit render has been finalized and updated in the OP; here it is also, below:Oof, why the drop in numrow/punctuation? I was really hoping I could double dip and fill out two boards if I got all the three kits.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/brN3yms.png)

How about using “Num” instead of “Num↲Lock” and “Caps” instead of “Caps↲Lock” (stepped) for consistency with “Scroll” and the other legends in the set (all of them are single-line other than these two)?
Nice Hangul kit :thumb:
I understand the reasoning behind this statement, but I have no plans to change those legends in particular.
Thanks, otherwise!
Yeah, I wanted to keep the numpad close to regular Cherry, especially as we have icon plus text mods overall.I understand the reasoning behind this statement, but I have no plans to change those legends in particular.
Thanks, otherwise!
Alright, cool. And I assume you'd already considered removing the sublegends on the numpad and decided against that too?
Love the cherry logo and the blue you picked out!Thanks!
I would be interested in a base set and "Nordeuk++ addon" for this, any chance to run it as well?
If you took into account every single previous iteration of Dolch based on GB start times, this would technically be R13 O_o
I think this is the GMK set with the most derivatives
I compiled a list of every Dolch iteration I know, let me know if there's anything I missed.
I know there was an R1 Originative run in there but I'm unsure about the date on that but probably 2017-2018?

Sorry to bring this up again, but if anyone is interested in the Dolch icon mods (N9/CP), please fill out our form for GMK ThinkCaps and be sure to tick Icon mods.
The reason I ask is because the icon mods are now on the chopping block (too many kits). We will keep them only if there's enough interest.
