Design
This kit was designed with two goals in mind: affordability and compatibility. Kits will be modified if there's a fair amount of interest in a certain change. All colors are in RAL.
Base Kit
The base kit covers most popular layouts (60%, HHKB, 75%, 65%, TKL).

Numpad Kit
The numpad kit was separated from the main kit to improve affordability, but maintain compatibility if anyone wants to outfit a numpad.

Novelty Kit
The novelty kit contains icon mods, vim arrows and nord novelty keycaps.

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.

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 don't think you should be allowed to call your set "Nord" without actually including any Nordic characters.

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

- Ergodox
- Ortholinear
- Colevrak
Ergodox and ortholinear could be covered by an ergoplanck or assembly kit (like other GMK sets).
Post by: senryo on Sun, 12 May 2019, 10:47:21
There is no 1U 0 IIRC.
Post by: wholypantalones on Sun, 12 May 2019, 10:49:29
The alt and Ctrl colors on the bottom row do not match on either side
No 1u "0" for 1800
Ctrl would look better as control
Consider 1 line scroll, pause and num as opposed to double line scroll lock pause break and num lock. Aesthetics.
Super keys for the tsangen bottom row instead of "fn" keys
Barred and scooped homing keys for "f", "j" and numpad 5.

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

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?
Post by: Gtrx on Sun, 12 May 2019, 12:13:17
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 :(

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.

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.

I like the "striped" F row, but I agree on the spacebars. I would use alpha background or mods background to make it fit properly.

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.

* Consider removing numpad keys from base kit (like GMK Eclipse)
* Consider changing pound symbol to #. Pound symbol makes this keyset UK-compatible only

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.

Can't say that considering that GMK TA 90 had icon + text mods, and a separate icon mods kit and hit MoQ.
Applies also to GMK Space Cadet and GMK Burgundy R2, which did the same thing.

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.

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.
This is probably a mistake in the render. Those are standard GMK icon modifiers

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.
Agreed on Vim keys and 1.5 AltGr. IMO there's no reason not to include arrow sublegends on HJKL in base kit, but I know someone will complain about it.
Post by: Gtrx on Sun, 19 May 2019, 09:46:45
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.

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.
That's a pretty interesting idea honestly.

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 was planning vim arrow keys, but I don't really want to add any more kits to nord... Maybe I'll add it to the main kit...
I'm absolutely digging the colour scheme and wish you the best of luck with the group buy in the future.

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.
I can see you now incorporated all of this, nice!
Will buy. :)

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.

That's great to hear, hopefully it will become a reality. If you are not to intrigued in adding more keys to the main kit you could always add the vim arrow keys into an already planned kit rather than introducing a new one. Such as adding the vim arrow keys the the spacebar kit or they numpad kit if you go down that route. It could be away of bolstering the other kits.

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.
Modern Dolch icon kit hit MOQ. As did many others. I don’t quite follow your reasoning.

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.

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 mean it would still stick to the official color theme and given the bigger interest in the other ICs of the IDE themed sets I'd say it's worth a try to follow their sets with lighter legends and monochrome mods set to see what people think about it then.
It's an IC after all.

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:

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.

This. So many GMK kits include very strange quasi-UK R3 and R4 keys when there's already ISO-style US layouts, particularly popular with Apple keyboards in Europe. Would love to see more backslash in the right place. :D

Indeed. I took a look at the kits as they stand now, and it calls my attention the following:
1) The Norde kit states "The NorDeUk kit adds support for these languages: Norwegian, British, German, Danish.", yet none of the keys specific to the UK English layout is present. AltGr keys aren't present, for that matter, either.
2) The base kit doesn't have complete support for UK English, either; there's R4 \| (good for both US ISO and UK ISO) and R3 #~ key (the only UK-specific keycap), but the rest is missing.
My suggestion is simple: in the main kit, replace the R3 #~ key with an R3 \| key (keeping unaltered the number of keys in the base kit) and then make a choice as to whether GMK Nord's international kit will be Norde or NordeUK (if the latter, then add the six keys needed for this: R1 `¬, R1 2", R1 3£, R3 '@, R3 #~... and the oft-forgotten R1 4$€ key).

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.

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.
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'

The same could be said about those that don't want a numpad. As base kits without numpads become more popular it may be harder for people to justify spending extra for base kits that include them, thus negatively impacting MOQ just the same.

Extremely well said.Really like the deskmats.
Disappointed with the Numpad seperation. Savings *might* be 10$ a set. But Numpad kits will probably cost 30-45$.

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.
that's an interesting idea...

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?
I tried some renders with colored spacebars and accents on esc and enter. It didn't look good. GB is planned around november-december. Basically late q4 2019

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!

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.

I would love a R5 bottom rowI'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.

I have been watching this set since IC started, was interested because of the colourway and lack of "too many kits" syndrome. Not interested in other similar keycaps like Dracula, etc.
I will have to reconsider when the gb runs. Maybe my wallet will be fatter.

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.
And yes, I agree that lately, every month have way more sets than in the past. This community is growing though. Until we see any of the GMK groupbuy starting to fail again, GMK groupbuy per month might stay this way, multiple every month. We need more manufacturer to step up. Designers to use other manufacturer and keycap profile.
As a buyer, its good time for us, we have more selection now and we can be more picky about which groupbuy to support.
I am sure GMK Nord will sell well. Just want to make sure everyone understand most of the non-custom keyboard community still prefer full size keyboard. To get them to spice up their keebs, please as much as possible, let the base kit support full size. This will help grow the community.

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.

I'm planning a late q4 release (around November) Nord and dracula going at the same time would be bad for both keysets.

I did the same. I'm going to pretty upset if it doesn't make it past the interest check. It would be nice if OP would just pop in give a quick update. As someone else said, this doesn't instill any confidence in the amount of communication we can expect once the group buy closes. It could even cause some to pass that may have otherwise been interested.
Post by: Zacharius on Sat, 09 November 2019, 16:29:54
If it happens to get to end of December, and there’s still no word, I’ll be annoyed after skipping Dracula. But life will go on.
Give the guy some time. It feels like there are 10 GMK GBs every month nowadays. He might still be trying to find a spot where it can even be run in the next year.

- 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.

Thanks for the feedback. I talked with the guys over at the 40% keebs discord and came to the same conclusions as in your post. All of those keys will be added to the assembly kit, apart from a colored pipe key. It doesn’t really fit in all that well.

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/).
The kit is nice but with all 1u mods, it's just an ergodox and ortho kit, not a "40's" kit.
Changes will be made to better support 40% keebs.

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)
You’re right, I’ll change it when the next set of renders gets pushed out.

40% memes :p but seriously, there's not enough interest for colevark. Through the entire ic, only about 20 people requested colevark. There is no way that is going to reach moq.

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.

Thanks for the kind words, but nord might get pushed back. Competing against olivia++ would be impossible.

After Masterpiece runs, Katakana only molds will be available, which would help the keep the price reasonable.

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.

I think it's a very good decision. With Christmas coming up and people having to spend too much money already, and Olivia++ in the running, waiting means there's more chances of people buying the set as they won't have to choose between presents for the family and their hobby (hell, the Christmas money could go towards... More keebs?!)
As someone who wants to buy both, I'd also rather wait than have to miss out on one because I can't afford it all in the same month.

Norse are an outlier. Everything else should be standard ANSI.

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.

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.
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.

a kit that has colevrak and norde in it? sounds like a recipe for disaster. If this set was as big as oblivion, I'd probably say **** it and add colevrak. But nord isn't anywhere near as big as oblivion, so colevrak won't reach moq.

Having 3 1.5u |\ keys also feels a bit overkill, personally I'd flip the mod-colored ~` key to have one of your colored legends and remove the neutral mod-colored |\ key.
Also, is the icon-mod Alt legend a new one?

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).
tried that, it didn't look right.
Post by: Gtrx on Fri, 29 November 2019, 06:20:07
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.
Sounds like an interest idea, but I dont think that kit would sell.

Most likely no on blank mods.

It’s 90%. Setbacks are very unlikely.

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.

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.
Just my thoughts, unless that key comes in both alpha and modifier color.

There seems to be several sets in the same situation. It is likely even GMK is not sure of it's current time line. Only thing to do is to patiently wait.

250 is not the limit. It's the minimum order quantity that is required to get this set into production.
Overall units is unlimited and with how popular this is it's probably going to go up to 1000 base kits.

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!

Post by: OmniSzron on Thu, 13 February 2020, 10:08:12
I came here from Reddit and I don't know how all of this works, I just need the link to buy those wonderful keyset!!This is an Interest Check. This means that the creator is still gathering community input on the set and making arrangements to produce it.
How do I buy it??
Once all that is done, a new thread will be created for the actual Group Buy. There you will find links to vendors selling the set (usually with several kits and bonus stuff). Usually there's one vendor for every major region of the world, so you don't have to pay extra for shipping and tolls. The group buy usually runs for a month or so. That's your window to order the kits and bonus stuff that you're interested in. You need to pay for all the stuff up front. Once the group buy is closed, all the kits that met MOQ (minimum order quantity) will be sent to production. Production of GMK sets usually takes 5 months at minimum. It will take longer if the set is very popular (bigger production run) or if the GMK facilities are busy with other orders. After all the sets are produced, the vendors will ship them out to group buy members.
In essence, if you really want this set you need to wait for the Group Buy to launch and then wait for months until they're produced.

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.

With gmk, any set that uses non gmk colors has an moq of 250. At 500 and 1000 units, prices decrease. An "artificial" moq of 500 or 1000 can be set by the runner to "reduce cost"

accent keys? would love accent esc/arrow keys.
Tried adding accent arrow keys, it just didn't look good. The accent colors are too dark and de saturated to look good alone.

Can we get a definitive answer on swapping the j key in the Vim kit for the homing j? Is that possible?
GMK has been contacted. Waiting for a response. Asked for a barred one.
I'm hoping there will still be a non-homing j Vim key even if you add a barred one.
Post by: Zacharius on Tue, 25 February 2020, 23:50:43
Would this mean that scooped is replaced with barred in the VIM kit? Really hoping to get both instead of either being dropped.Can we expect pricing and gb date real soon?

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.

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

If this is the case, then I really must insist that a 40s kit be done separately from the assembly 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?

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.

Sure, then let's include every possible permutation of rows and nav keys (or any keys, for that matter) in every set. Who knows, maybe someone likes to bind their End key where F usually is and swap their PgDn key with Backspace. Heck, why even have kits that cover the most commonly used layouts in the first place; just make all the keys blanks and call it a day.
You have to be realistic. Those two keys don't make sense in those positions (R1) on boards smaller than a CP / 96-key. More specifically:
65% — End or PgDn on the top row? I don't think so.
75% — The only option I can think of that could hypothetically work is Home on the F row and End on the number row, with PgUp, PgDn and Fn below that. But it's a real weird one; I've never seen anyone use that layout, and it would certainly fail the commonness test. Moreover, 75% keyboards with no separation/blocker between the F and number rows are becoming less and less popular. So that's another reason why it's a bad idea.
In summation, I stand by what I said previously: R1 End and PgDn should be moved to the numpad kit, as has been the case in most recent GMK sets that have chosen to split numpad keys out of the base kit.

I agree with this. Both legends being the same is bad. R3 \|, R4 <> is better than R3 #~, R4 \|, imo, so I would also suggest going with that.

While I generally agree with you (yes, I like terminal style better), there's a small mistake in your comment:
"US ISO, PC style" is how Microsoft implements the "English (USA)" national layout on an ISO (or ISANSI) keyboard on Windows (10, 7, XP, etc.). So "doesn’t actual meet any layout in use" is not completely right (it does coincide with Microsoft's actual implementation of the layout).

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).
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.

I'm going to keep the partial uk iso support in the main kit, as I think that most ISO users use UK iso or fall under the NORDE category. the r3 #~ key and \| are going to be removed from NORDE though. Thank you for the feedback guys!

I wish I could make everything Nord themed. Microsoft Office and Jupyter Notebooks are the only software I haven't changed yet. I'm tempted to go get paint swatches for my walls.
EDIT: Why MKUltra for American orders? I really don't know much about them, but their site is sketchy and they have, what looks like, a giant order backlog for their normally stocked items. Can they handle a big GMK group buy like this?

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.

The Kit Render has just the alpha colored Pipe:

But the Boardwalk render shows the accent Pipe key being used (which I think is preferable to most people):

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.

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.

Alrgiht, the PgDn and end keys are not useless, as people might want to change up the layout of their keyboards.
But they are, in fact, useless. At least as far as all commonly used numpadless layouts go. Think about it: those keys are R1, meaning function row or number row. Have you seen anyone put PgDn or End on the number row — the top row — on their 65%? If you have, please share. It doesn't make sense to put PgDn above PgUp, or End above Home. Even if someone out there has a layout with R1 End on a 75%, it certainly isn't common, so it doesn't warrant including those keys in a base kit imo.
Here's a list of recent (since July 2019) GMK GB's and IC's that had separate numpad kits and didn't have R1 PgDn, End keys in their base kits:

I use PGDN on R1 on both of my KBD19X, next to PGUP

Yep, exactly, that's a 1800 layout with a numpad, and so R1 PgDn and End belong in the numpad kit.

I love the blank inner column and 2u caps; the options for ergo kits typically are a) all blanks (...somewhat meh looks-wise, but good for compat) or b) use the Space Cadet language (looks great, has tons of compat, but may not fit the theme of the kit).
On a personal level, I would absolutely LOVE such a big ergo/assembly kit. I'm super in awe that it's your goal.
But with these legends, that's a total no-go.
That, of course, is for me and my preferences only :) It's your kit. Normally I don't go on the Internet to say 'I don't like it' since it brings no value and folks don't want to hear opinions anyway. But in this case, given that GMK has other options that great emphasize compatibility, I did want to bring it up just-in-case... since I love the kit's color and would love the opportunity to use it!

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?
I didn't know about that, We'll try to contact gmk, but I wouldn't expect a response sooner than in like a week or 2.
Post by: Gtrx on Wed, 15 April 2020, 13:40:43
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.

The renders are for reference only and are not an exact representation of the product. The actual molds have all of the symbols in the correct place, so you don't need to worry about it.

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

For reference, I'd be referring to this type of layout:
https://i.imgur.com/Z2XsA0q.jpg
It'd be missing green on the right side. I can understand the layout when using 1.25 mods, because you maintain the order of the colors from the spacebar towards the outside by placing the colors as you've done. However, with 1.5u bottom row mods, there would be a lack of symmetry.

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.

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!

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.

I understand this but desperately tried to give some feedback. Thanks for the reply anyway.
I'm definitely in but currently it's hard to decide which base to pick.

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?

Is there a discord for this set?
A discord will most likely be created when the gb starts.

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.

Also interested in HHKB layout and a bit lost as to what I'd have to buy to cover

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.
It's too blue to be used with dolch sets.

As someone said, definitely buy "temp caps"

Is it just me or does CandyKeys not have the setup yet?
Looks like they are still asleep.
Also kinda bummed by the "artisans".
Only two colors and they don't even look good... :(

Kinda wack that they still show the image with the variety of color options but then only have two to choose.

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.

Blue stripe would have been nice. But I don't see that available anywhere...
Only "Purple" and "Dark"

Edit: To be clear, it's not like the second 1u Ctrl is useful to begin with. No modern ≥60% layouts use two 1u Ctrl keys.

Edit: Found them! For anyone else who missed, you need to click on "Nord are you waiting for?" on the homepage which gives you the option to select caps, deskmats, or artisans. Hope this helps.

Anyone else not able to find deskmats/artisans for sale on MKUltra?
Yeah, I was wondering about that too.

They’re not linked on the front page, just search “Nord” and you’ll find them.

Just found it. I edited my post above with the solution because you can also click on "Nord are you waiting for" on the homepage to get options for caps, deskmats, or artisans.

Thanks, yeah I see it's purple and dark. However I thought it was supposed to be blue instead of dark?

GB threads sometimes take awhile to get approved.
Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up.

A discord will most likely be created when the gb starts.
You may have to report the post for the mods to do something. Worked for Space Cadet
