[IC] GMK CYL R4 OG
« on: Fri, 29 March 2024, 23:02:54 »
GMK CYL R4 OG
   


This is my first IC, please use lube.
Looking to gauge interest and obtain feedback on kitting.


Why?

My goal with these kits is to extend the usefulness of GMK sets like Hineybeige and Dolch R5 for keyboard layouts where you might prefer a less aggressive bottom row profile, particularly those with winkeys.

If you love beige and dolch sets (like me) but prefer a R4 bottom row for non-TKL layouts like 60, 65, 1800, etc., then this is the extension kit for you. 

Also taking the opportunity to offer 1.5 super and 1u alt keys, for HHKB enjoyers.


Kitting








Colours
Beige Kit:
GMK U9/L9 / CR

Dolch Kit:
GMK N9/CC / CP

WoB Kit:
GMK CR / WS1

Pricing & Vendors
TBD
Running at GMK cost + vendor markup

Vendors:
TBD

Board Renders


Daal by Ankit


Cypher by Cable Car Designs


Seis Cero by Daji


Oku by NRD


Fossil by Carolina Mech




Big Thanks
Pensa (renders and general good looks)
Ankit, V, RadarNois (guidance and general good looks)

•   Addition of WoB kit
•   Replacement of one 1.5u and one 1.25u alt key for alt gr keys


FAQ

1.   Will you consider this amazing set in WoB as well?
Yes! Enough people have requested this to make it viable. See change log.

2.   ne alt gr avail?
Yes! Enough people have requested this to make it viable. See change log.

3.   Can we replace OG Windows and Menu keys with something else (sys, super, FN etc.)?
No, that would defeat the point of the set which is to have these 'OG' keys.

I'd be in on this if not for the windows logo keys (and that sad fax). Consider System or Super or anything else, really.

Stoked to have so much feedback already, thank you all!

Likely changes at this stage:
- Include a WoB kit
- Replace one 1.5 and 1.25 alt key with alt gr keys

Keep the responses coming  :thumb:

We've come full circle from R5 kits to R4 kits! :p Not really up my alley since I prefer R5 personally, but I do see the demand for this as there has been a good bit of GMK sets sold recently that had just R5 bottom rows. GLWIC! :thumb:
