wouldn't the r4 1.5u Fn key in the extension kit make more sense to be spelled out like the 1.5u r2 Function Key?

As it stands, the extension kit is too small, so the cost per keycap will be high and the risk of it not hitting MOQ greater. A few keys that I see are missing that you might want to add to it are: R3 1.75u stepped Control, R3 1.75u Function (although I'm assuming that's what the current 1.5u key is supposed to be), R4 2u Shift, R4 1u Shift, extra R4 1u Ctrl. Maybe even move the F13 there.

Take a look at the Nautilus 2 extension kit and see if you can draw any conclusions from there.

I’m probably not going to get the GMK keycaps. Not because I don’t like the set, just because I have too many and BoW isn’t really my thing. That being said, I might try to pick up several of the X and O Rama caps to fill a macro pad with them if it fits into my budget when the time comes.

WS2 matches your average pcb white way better than WS1. Make sure to add plaid/ortho coverage somehow.

These are the two colours compared. WS1 being Minimal and WS2 being this

It's hard to say, it depends on how well the artisans' e-white coating will match WS2; they're different materials and different finishes after all. However, taking into account just the colors themselves — it would not look good. See the above picture. Minimal's WS1 looks dirty and yellowed in comparison.

That's the trade-off of having small, more affordable base kits.


I'm sad to see that there will be no 40% kit. Anyway, GLWB

GMK text+icon is so inconsistent. The icons can be tiny (backspace), huge (windows), or intermediate, to the left of the text (shift, enter, backspace), without text (menu, windows), around the text (tab)... There is no rhyme or reason. They also crowd the surface grotesquely on ISO and split shift

The only set made in literally the last thirty years to pull off text and icons is /dev/tty.

I will buy this set if it offers icon mods (my preference) or if it uses text mods. If I wanted a keyset that looked like it came off a cheap old Cherry keyboard, I could quite literally dig one out of the trash.

To quote a recent example of GMK Ashes, the base had fullsize and iso support built into the kit, and costed $130.
This was with custom RAL colours and higher MOQ.

This set requires a MOQ of 150 as it’s stock GMK colours.

That's not the point I was trying to make. Better value ≠ more affordable. I'm sure this set would have been able to reach the same price point if it had gone for that kind of compatibility. Undoubtedly the value for money is worse with a setup like this, but some designers opt for it anyway just because of how attractive that $100 price point is. The cold, hard truth is that the majority of potential buyers aren't going to need the extra compatibility, so offering a lower price point makes more sense for them. Especially with how many sets are running each month now, each of them vying for those buyers and the buyers having to pick, the low price can really make a difference.

That being said, so can the value. I'm not defending this approach by any means; I'm just saying how it is and what the reasoning behind this kit layout might have been. I personally prefer a base kit with good compatibility that allows me to cover the weird layouts I use without spending too much extra. Simple and versatile sets like this especially should, in my opinion, have a good base kit because they have the potential to work on many different boards. But it is what it is.

GMK text+icon is so inconsistent. The icons can be tiny (backspace), huge (windows), or intermediate, to the left of the text (shift, enter, backspace), without text (menu, windows), around the text (tab)... There is no rhyme or reason. They also crowd the surface grotesquely on ISO and split shift

The only set made in literally the last thirty years to pull off text and icons is /dev/tty.

I will buy this set if it offers icon mods (my preference) or if it uses text mods. If I wanted a keyset that looked like it came off a cheap old Cherry keyboard, I could quite literally dig one out of the trash.
I believe it is icons only now? Same sentiment btw

Why does the kit for fullsize compat cost $150 using GMK colours.
There are several reasons that why I have decided to split numpad and iso from the base.
It could help to bring the cost of the base to sub-100 (hence 99.99 we are currently listing), I understand some people prefer to have more compat with a slightly higher price. The thing is most people don't need/don't ever use the numpad keys(also iso). Spliting them can make the Base kit more affordable while supporting most(imho) of the layouts this community use. I personally think a base cost less than 100 will make a big difference in sales, especially there are many sets running this month, and one of them is very similar to Bleached.
The MOQ for the base is set to 500. numpad and spacebars are set to 150, because thats how the IC form reflects. I am not confident to list it at 1000MOQ because (see the line above), so I am trying to do giveaways to the community and GB participants to make this more appealing.
Seperate Numpad kit is always expensive for GMK keysets, not to mention the numpad kit here also includes UKISO.

I know the people wanted more compat will be upset seeing this kitting, I am sorry but this is my apporach to it.

Will there be price drops as the kits sold increase, or it the price fixed?
The prices will be fixed across the whole GB, as the refund policy has changed since then, also refunding to each GB participants is very time comsuming, there is no mass refund function on shopify and vendors have to manually refund to each order.
Instead we will giveaway more stuff as the number of order increases, details can be found on discord, or the GB thread that is coming up soon
