Perhaps a long shot question here, but I’m actually very interested in the cross compatibility of the 1, 2, 3, and 4 keys as unique accents with other GMK sets. Any chance of having a “novelty” set that contains those separately?

The color choices are sublime. It’s evocative of something familiar, but also has its own flair. Well done!

Quick question: what is the intended row profile? 1-1-2-3-4-4?

Quick feedback: you may want to add a 2@ key in the extras kit (both versions), so the loveless lonely gits like me can actually consider this set.

Quick pet peeve: lose the pipe tertiary legend in the ISO extra alpha (yes, this is coming from "Mr. Tertiary Layers rule!").

1. Yes! Right now, anyway

2. Very good suggestion, it also adresses a lot of feedback raised on the unaligned heart (which I want to keep the OG way). I'll definitely look into that!

3. We've had this discussion many times - no, sorry! :D

Also regarding the name: yes I am aware that Rouge means red in French as stated in the OP. It's meant as a reference to Rouge make up palettes as depicted in the images, and yes I am aware they're most often in different shades of red (but not exclusively). I was never good with names, but That's the reference. Hope that clears things up! :)

Could you upgrade the ISO to UK-ISO? Or at the very least make split shift key |\ and key to the left of ISO enter ~#.

Is the <> a thing that many people use? I think I wouldn't buy the numpad + ISO kit in it's current form.

Something more like what GMK Minimal did would be better if you really wanna cut down on the number of keys in that kit: https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/gmk-minimal-addon-kit_939/

Heyo!

I like to do it this way as it's the only way to provide a complete ISO layout with only 4 keys. I don't like the approach where you introduce 1-2 1u keys out of an ISO layout that has more than triple that amount to for it to be complete, it looks and feels off IMO.
This is the ISO-US Terminal layout, and even though no one uses it, it provides physical coverage while not duplicating keys (some sets do two pipeslash) or having incomplete layouts.

As for <>, it's probably the single most common 1u ISO key across all layouts, at least to my knowledge, depletedvespene can confirm or deny that for me. :P

I hope that explains it! :)

"Even though no one uses it" :eek:

Why would you include keys that nobody uses?
With any other ISO keys you'll have at least three people using it, better than zero. Noh? ;D

I see what you mean, but as I said, to me it doesn't make sense for someone to have two keys that are correct while missing a bunch of others. Oh, and in my opinion it looks the best, too. :D

Most users in this community do not rely on legends in order to type (maybe special tertiary characters etc are an exception). Therefore, having a visual incomplete set isn't what I want to provide. That is why I rather offer a complete layout and aesthetically pleasing variant over a 1/4th of a layout whereas if they rely on legends anyway, they can't really do it regardless as it's missing a bunch of keys.

I have been summoned.

When it comes to keycap sets, almost all start off using the English (USA) national layout, and many have support only for ANSI (remember the English (USA) national layout was written with the ANSI and ANSISO physical layout variants in mind); fortunately, this has changed and the vertical ("ISO") Enter key is now present most of the time.

To add proper physical support for actual ISO keyboards (not just ANSISO), there are two main traditions regarding the R4 "extra" alpha: in the PC style, you simply repeat the \| key (already present in R2 or R3), while in the terminal style, a <> key is added instead.

Both traditions have advantages and disadvantages: \| is what Microsoft actually implements, <> avoids the crappy look of a repeated key (No Alice users in this thread? Good!); \| gets to be reused in the English (UK) and Portuguese (Brazil) national layouts; <> gets to be reused in the Norwegian, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Portugal), Italian and French national layouts (and this is discounting the versions with a tertiary legend: <>| and <>\). All y'all take a look at http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/A-Visual-Comparison-of-Different-National-Layouts/ (http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/A-Visual-Comparison-of-Different-National-Layouts/) and be amazed.

With that said, as it stands now, the keycap set has proper(*) support for English (USA) over ANSI, ANSISO and ISO (terminal style) (and ISANSI (terminal style) too, but no one cares about that).

In order to fully support the English (UK) over ISO national layout (current usage, not the "proper standard" — see the comparison diagram in http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/A-Visual-Comparison-of-Different-National-Layouts/#enUK (http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/A-Visual-Comparison-of-Different-National-Layouts/#enUK)), quite a few keys would need to be added:

R1: `¬¦    (in both colors)   4$€ (in both colors); 2" (in the extras kit, in both colors).
R3: '@   #~
R4: \|   AltGr

Eleven extra keys in total (note a second `¬¦ is unnecessary, given that alphas and mods have the same color), which is a lot. With some effort and questionable design decisions, this could be trimmed a bit:
- Two keys less if we all choose to turn a blind eye to the tertiary legend in 4$€ (it follows that the '¦' in `¬¦ should also get the axe, but that doesn't change the key count)
- One key less if the terminal style is replaced with the PC style on the R4 extra alpha.
- One key less if the AltGr key is omitted (EW, don't do that!).


Lewisflude is suggesting going with "partial British" ISO support, which consists of replacing R4 <> with R4 \| and adding R3 #~, for the grand total of just one more key.

Emir comments that R4 <> is far more common than R4 \| across all layouts, which IS true, but... it is also true that only one national layout (English (USA)) is being supported in this set, with this discussion being about completing support for a second one (English (UK)).

What to do? It's up to the runner, of course, but... how about adding TWO keys (R4 \| and R3 #~) to the numiso kit? This would expand its support to English (USA) terminal style, English (USA) PC style and the "partial" English (UK) layout. Both keycaps are common, so the cost of extra molds wouldn't be an issue, and the extra total cost for the kit should be negligible.

HTH!



(*) It should be <>, not <>|, but Emir likes it like that, and since we're talking about traditions here, I can't really tell him "Follow the spec, dammit!".

(**) Perhaps it should be <>♥ instead of <>|, because ISO IS LOVE, ISO IS LIFE. :thumb:
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Rouge
Post by: Emir on Wed, 04 March 2020, 08:17:53
mans knows his ISO, was expecting a yes/no answer but got a master thesis writeup. :D

So yes, <> is the most common 1u key! Question answered, thanks a lot depletedvespene!

ISO is unfortunately unlikely to change, this is how I like to kit ISO within 4 keys restriction because of mentioned reasons. Sorry to everyone wanting a different version!

Fine man, you do you. :D By the way, I may have spoken too soon about the kitting: I just noticed that the 40s kit has one 1.75u spacebar. I believe there should be two, as one of the very few 40% keyboards that use that size actually needs two 1.75u spacebars.

Would you consider including the '*-key, the <>-key, the small left shift and the ISO enter in the base kit? 4 more keys wouldn't bring the price up too much and it would give ISO support :)

While I agree that having basic ISO compat in the base kit is generally good, putting it in an add-on kit incentivizes people to buy that kit, which helps it reach MOQ. Numpad-only kits have a tendency to sell poorly and sometimes don't meet MOQ (e.g. GMK Yugo).

Sorry to say, but unfortunately no. Maybe GMK taro R2 would be a good suggestion if you're after that look?

As of right now, it does not look bright. :/ Like contexpr mentioned, that is one reason - but also small increases in quote pricing can end up turning off a lot of people at retail. It is not simple and not easy choices to make, but as of right now I believe this kitting is good

i'm most likely being salty here because i will be buying this set and spending an extra $30 - $40 USD on an extra kit just for @2 keys is silly but in a way, i sort of understand the other end of the spectrum on the reasoning behind it.

why not a make an novelties set so it includes the heart/2 keys instead of including it in the main kit?

The whole set is inspired by, and built around the heart legend.

I understand that my sets are niche and not for everyone, firefly was the same way. In a way, that means forcing my vision on you, and if it was up to me then @2 wouldn't be part of any kit st all as it kills the main idea for the set. The deaccent kit for firefly was the same way, completely against the whole idea of that set. However, I understand people are not always looking for exactly what I want them to look for, so compromise is necessary. At the end of the day, it's up to people to use the Keyset how they want to, and if that means omitting the heart legend then by all means! ❤️

I think the heart on top of the two would look much more aesthetically pleasing if it would have a filling/if it would basically just have an outline

It'd be an interesting look for sure! But for this specific set, I am keeping it the OG way. :O

Also regarding the name: yes I am aware that Rouge means red in French as stated in the OP. It's meant as a reference to Rouge make up palettes as depicted in the images, and yes I am aware they're most often in different shades of red (but not exclusively). I was never good with names, but That's the reference. Hope that clears things up! :)

I confirm, you can definitely have rouge à lèvres that is not red. Here is some rouge à lèvres bleu: https://www.cosmopolitan.fr/,cap-sur-la-tendance-des-levres-bleues,1974132.asp

Sorry, for this set there won't be a control legend there as the base strives to be as minimal as possible. Most   people use the icon regardless if a control is included or not on their hhkb. I understand not everyone is the same, but unfortunately it won't be added.

Fine man, you do you. :D By the way, I may have spoken too soon about the kitting: I just noticed that the 40s kit has one 1.75u spacebar. I believe there should be two, as one of the very few 40% keyboards that use that size actually needs two 1.75u spacebars.

Rather just remove it. :D All 40s kit feedback is most welcome, I have no really limited information about them. This is basically the firefly 40s kit without accents.

I would say removing it is the better course of action since it's so rarely used, but I'm not a 40s kit expert by any means, so I'd suggest getting a second opinion either way :)

As far as I know, 1.75u space is only used on three 40% boards (JD40, Daisy, Vortex Core), which are quite rare to boot. Not only that, but I think the most popular out of those (JD40) actually uses not one but two 1.75u spacebars, so a single 1.75u spacebar doesn't do much in the grand scheme of things.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Would it be possible to move the 2@ keys from numpad kit to base kit? Cuz it doesnt make sense to blow another ~50 bucks for a standard 2 key. I believe this would be the best option for ppl who arent a fan of the <3 key being lower since you wanted to stick to the OG look.

I did think about that, but the reason for having it in a separate kit is because the focus of this set is the heart legend, so it would make sense that I want people to also use it. I know a lot of people are fans of the colorway but really dislike the legend, and initially I wasn't planning to offer the normal @ legend at all. This is a compromise on my end, even though I understand it doesn't satisfy everyone. :/

Understandable. Have you considered running this set in a dye-sub PBT set like KAT? Not sure if it would be feasible or not with the colors but that would be pretty slick looking and it would mix up the current set offerings by sidestepping GMK in favor of a different profile, material, and vendor.

Quote will be requested so that we can get some pricing for yall.

Launch in June! :)

Any estimates what you figure the base kit will be since it is pretty barebones?

Similarly priced to firefly. Can't give an exact estimate before having the quotes. :)

Updated 40s kit

Am I right that diff relative to previous iteration is that you've stripped couple of keys?

And didn't you want to add 1.5U Tab key for keys with non-usual stagger?

Yes! For now keeping it as minimal as possible. :)

Quotes are in and pricing is done for all but 1 proxy! Should have some numbers for everyone soon!

Unfortunately, requesting a custom colors for 1 individual key turned out to be a bit expensive. Will update soon!

Pricing is here:
(https://i.imgur.com/qWdkRxy.png)

Unfortunately it is a bit more expensive than Firefly, even though the amount of keys are less (base). The reasoning for this is the amount of colors. GMK has a minimum order quantity for colors, and buying out MOQ for colors to use just on 1 key x4 raised the quote.

I think it is OK all things considered! :)

Nice work! By the way, I didn’t see anyone mention two minus sign keys in numpad kit but no equals sign. Must not be much love for the numpad. Maybe needs more <3

Given the couple unique qualities of the set, those prices strike me as fair. I wouldn't say no to a lower price, but it seems reasonable as-is. Nice!

Yes it is what it is. :/ I would've loved for a better price too. If it was a slower month we might've tried to base the pricing on the 500 MoQ, but the way June is looking now unfortunately we got to settle for 250 MoQ.

Thank you for the support!

I'm a big fan of the colors. Emir, where are you in the color matching process on this? Have you picked out the RALs? If so, can you share with us? Just curious because I see that color matching on Firefly is still ongoing and I'm super interested in jumping on this GB. Any info you could share about how you think the color matching process will go and what the next steps will be now and after GB would be very helpful for me purchase decision.

Base - RAL 280 30 15
Legends - 320 50 20

1 - 310 20 20
2 - 310 30 20
3 - 300 30 20
4 - 300 30 15

Color matching will start after the order is placed or slightly before. It can be done prior to gb, but at a cost.

Do you have samples in hand to verify that those RAL colors really are what you want this time around?

"The next set I launch will have cleared color samples before I even post an IC."
