I'm almost always icon gang, but for this set I must admit I think the text mods works really well with the icon-centric alphas. It feels balanced IMO.

So obviously, the modifiers should be text + icon too.
You text-or-icon people are weird and should probably re-consider your life choices.

- Text only looks the cleanest.
- Text + Icon also doesn't look bad and makes sense given the alphas are basically Text + Symbol.
- Icon only looks weird and should not even be an option.

1) Is the kit keycaps arrangement expected to be similar to Oblivion's?
2) If "icons" should win, what are the keycaps expected to come in icons? The usual bottom row stuff, or keycaps in the nav cluster and numpad as well?
3) If the cadet should rise through the ranks all the way to becoming his country's monarch, would he have a court?

I just realized after entering my own vote that you can immediately submit another response. I thought being limited to 1 response was default, turns out that was not the case and I have to enable this specifically in the options of the form.
I want to keep this vote fair so having it possibly be tampered by a single person to get what they wanted is not something I want to have happened.
Here is the new form, which limits your response to 1. It requires a Google login. You can edit your response afterwards.

Wont mind if the set is split as, cadet alphas kit (with included F1-4, F9-12) , mods and numpad kit, that ll be cherry on top. I know this is too much of wishful thinking, but one can dream. Would have gone for the whole thing, but seems a bit redundant with Jamon, and I have woved no more full GMK sets.

I have to laugh. This poll is pretty indicative that someone (or some people) went out of their way to really vote numerous of times for Icon mods.
Because once the corrected poll came into effect, Text mods appear to be much more popular.

The fact text only is ahead and by that much is actually tragic.
Well, Space Cadet IS a set historically associated with text legends. It'll be fine as long as there are no romantic numerals on it. :cool:
Now, let us all go design a GMK ICONSICONSICONS keycap set (with supporting modifier kits), so we can have every single non-alpha, non-F key be an icon, as the gods themselves ordain! (or something like that)

I really like darker blue accents in striker, maybe this set could get some darker red accents too?
My worry about that is the darker mods and lighter alphas may end up looking like an inverse of GMK Jámon. I like the monochrome nature of the set.
Post by: ptrick3 on Mon, 12 August 2019, 12:15:53
I like the monochrome nature of the set.
Same, I’m fine with optional add one, but would prefer the base stay as is personally. If an add on for accents hits MOQ, great, but I personally would no longer be interested with dark accents in the base.

The accents in Striker were only an escape and an enter key IIRC. I don't think two additional keys would radically change the kit price or make it look like subprime cut of Jamón :p
It wouldn’t. There’s a big difference between having two keys accented vs. all the modifiers. I like the Striker accents as well, I’d be curious a white base accent key would be different enough to ease the Jamon nightmares some people havin.

Oof, MOQ is higher than total number of vote responses. Hopefully it still pans out, everything looks great.
There is a 0% chance this set doesn't make MOQ.

@Oblotzky nice update! Any chance you can add a stepped control key. If not then I’ll keep my tsangan layout for thermal. Only reason I wouldn’t get hhkb layout is I find that there are keycap designers that don’t add stepped control key. Otherwise I’m still in and excited for this set.
I've opted to have only the Rub Out keys for Caps Lock, there are no Control, Function or actual Caps Lock keys.

If anyone is like me and was wondering what the meaning/significance of Rub Out is, I stumbled upon a very interesting explanation of the keys in/history of Space Cadet: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/a/496

Y no ergo kit? (instantly regrets buying expensive "crimson" Sol 2 plate)

Ergo is really hard to push to MOQ. I don't want to have vendors buy out MOQ and then have those kits sit in their warehouse forever (I still have 5 kits of GMK Calm Depths Assembly and MyKeyboard.eu still has some stock left as well). I'm staying away from odd layouts for GB's outside of Drop for the time being, sorry.

Remember back when GBs featuring anodized grey cases just called them "Grey" instead of "Space Grey"? It seems like a long time ago. GMK Space Cadet did that. Now, there's a Red Planck case available for pre-order on Drop, and RGBKB is naming the red variant of their Sol 2 plates "Space Red" - Seems like the future or ergo/ortho GBs could be colored Crimson too, if the kit was there... ;)Y no ergo kit?

I was wondering if GMK now has molds manufactured foe the Cadet alphas? As because my dream would be like a more neutral / classic colored cadet on gmk/ cherry. The original cadet gray was too light for my taste and the blue or red is well - a bit too specific. Something like a an inverted dolch or inverted gmk nines or even a honeywell (drool) color theme cadet would be so amazing for me. I was musing of even putting such a design together, but wanted to know if GMk has the molds to the cadet. Cheers.

GMK Carbon R2 had carbon cadet too (and oblivion, and hagoromo-the white didn't suit you?)

If T0mb3ry can use them others might be able to if they ask. I presume that goes through Oblotsky just like how use of the rolling bones dots would T0mb3ry, but you'd have to ask the famous designers here how that's handled.

Ah. Hopefully between all of the proxies, all the kits will get made without the vendors having to dig into their own pockets to meet MOQ.
