[IC] GMK ASCII - Available November 1st 2019 - GB LIVE

[thornkin]

Not sure how I feel about the mono color. Would like some contrast.  However, I really like R0 after using Carbon R2.

+1 for the return key. Brings back memories.

With This being such a simple and clean Colorway set... I would bet a substantial amount of money that an ortho kit Like GMK Minimal's Would get to MOQ...or even be worth throwing into a child set.

The Ortho Community has grown so much in the past year!

I would buy 30 Ortho Kits structured like this to assist in the cause.

Same, honestly. These caps are useful.

I’d buy if there was ortho. Prefer ergo but ortho support is minimum for me.

[pixelpusher]

Um.... Can you add in an N6 or CV yellow accent for esc and enter?  Thanks.  Will pay you for it, promise.

Seriously though, it would look tasty.  And there are SOOOOO many nice sets out there that could use it (including space cadet  )

+4 for ortho.


Just need 1, 2u bar. 2, 1u bars would be nice, but not mandatory.

As for mods,

R2: Out
R3: Data or Read
R4: Shift and Enter

4, 1u keys.  That's it. If you're worried about base price, you can stick them in spacebar kit.

Edit: forgot this was r5 bottom. But you'd just need to add an up arrow to r5, so that's 5, 1u keys now. Still quite reasonable.

I'd also like a convex 1u spacebar.
Love the set. Definitely buying.

Can I asciii you a question?

Can you gib us an accent color?  Thanks 

I honestly just want some yellow or orange accents (esc and enter) with white or black legends.  I'm just being a selfish jerk.

Another vote for ortho support here.  Just a few more keys in the base set and it would work.  I'm not sure if it was Oblotzky in the past who was concerned about ortho layouts using R0 and R5 due to most ortho keyboards not having a tilt.  Personally, I would love to have the opportunity to try out R0 and R5 on one of my ortho builds.

I too would like to see Ortho. Nerdy legends like these and nerdy ortho boards seem like a good match indeed.

If Ortho Support doesn’t make it into this set, I will loose all faith in this community lol

Ortho users rise up!!

This might pair okay with the N9 Ortho add-on that is dropping soon.  https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=100922.0

[Oblotzky]

I plan to offer a 40%/Ortho kit with text-only legends, I'll update in a few weeks when I'm done grinding WoW.

[MdotMaxson]

Ortho users rise up!!


(Attachment Link)

It worked!!!! And whoever said *****ing doesn’t do any good? I’ll always ***** until I at least see ortho. But ergo I just know won’t happen if the maker isn’t an ergo user.

[pixelpusher]

I ascii'd you for asciisent colourz and got no reaction?  I mean, it's a dumb request, but I had to ascii you.  I really can't help myself. 

Not sure why I'm so excited about this set, but it's top 3 GMK set material in my eyes 

[The_Royal]

I'm assuming this set is gonna quite expensive isn't it? Like, Close to $200 on the Base?

I know Drop will buy a lot of extras but I don't think this has the following that Oblivion had.   Curious to see how all the new molds play out for pricing.

I am beyond grateful my friend!!!

And Im still standing on that 30 Kits I promised

It won't be on Drop (see first page). It won't be 200$.

And SUPER NICE!

Also, My bad.  Not sure how I missed That it was going to be on KONO.

I guess I just assumed lol

Text only is great! Thanks.

My last request, if I may, is for a 1u r3 Ctrl key. But if you're doing ambiguous legends then it doesn't matter.

Cheers 

[tectonicplate]

Excited to learn that ortho is being added, all in.

[MdotMaxson]

Hmmm now with GMK ashes. I only have room for 1 grey keyset in my deck of keys. Choices. Choices.

Simple solution: get one more board.

[MdotMaxson]

Still no ortho?

[Hackerpilot]

I love the idea behind this set. I'm in for base + spacebars.

I think that a bunch of us just need to do a GB for some Ergodox blank modifiers. Something in a neutral color that will look decent with the alphas of a large variety of sets.

[MdotMaxson]

Any idea how these would look with oblivion mods? Being as there is no ergo option but I do have assembly for gmk oblivion.

[Bawsky]

Hmmm interesting.

[nasp]

Have you found time between binges of WOW Classic to renders us the ortho kit yet? Please and thank you

[atectatifern]

This is an instant buy for me, as would be a set in SA should it ever happen (looks like 7-bit's effort at Deskthority has stalled, unfortunately). Looking forward to the announcement the GB is live!

[mrpetrov]

There are quite a few wonderful sets coming out soon or that have come out recently, but this is the one I am most excited about!

[rbb]

After seeing GMK Lunar go for the same colors on the alphas, I can't help but wish for some accented mods.

This is based on a specific vintage keyboard.  Which didn't have accent keys.

Accented keys wouldn't be hard to add from other keysets if you so desire. R2 Nautilus is dropping in spring 2020 if you need yellow bars.

[maximize]

Oblotzky: Here's another gray GMK set, idk.

Everyone: OK yep we're all in for this.

Well there seems to have been a variant that did: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=7594&start= and I think some artistic license can be taken with these keysets, such as adding a NUL sublegend to 2.

Yeah, that's likely the route I end up taking.

40bit kit added. Requested pricing from GMK. Please let me know if I ****ed it up.
If everything goes smooth we're going live November 1st. Thank you for your interest!

Yes! Thank you for the 40% Support!

I’m all in Nov. 1st my friend!

R2 Back might be redundant since you can use the Delete key from the navigation column. As an ortho user, everything else looks great 

[ihalatch]

Is there a proxy for AU ans NZ?

[heliar_mk]

Could you please add another B for split keyboard ？

[tectonicplate]

40bit is looking really good.

• I agree that R2 "Back" is unnecessary, you can just use the R2 "Delete" from the base kit… unless people are digging the aesthetic of it saying "Back". I personally like it, but I'd much rather see the key requested in the next bullet if it makes a difference.
• An additional 2u Space would be the one key I would really hope to see added, it's gaining in popularity. There are a handful of boards that use a double 2u Space and would save from having to buy the Spacebar kit for one key (like I had to for the GMK Calm Depths Assembly). Planck rev6 & EOTW, Preonic rev3, Boardwalk Ortho, Eco, Iris, Levinson, Nyquist, and a handful of other split boards.
• A R4 1.5u Shift would be great, if possible. UT47/Gnap! and others use this. There are no R4 1.5u keys in any of the kits unfortunately.

Definitely in on this. Thx.

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

another possibility for the “second” 2u space:  me and probably a few others will get the space bar kit for the 2.25 and 2.75u split space bars. Happy to sell the 2u that’s in there for cheap or add in cash for the colorful split bars that some 40’s sets get (for instance, the green split bars for GMK terra are only in the 40s set)

Thanks for your feedback. I'm keeping Back as I'm a fan of 'correct' legends, or as correct as they can be, and Delete deletes a character in front of the cursor so it does not feel appropriate to me. Submitted the new kit to GMK.

[Oblotzky]

Here's the final kits for the GB. See you Friday!

[Gert Fischer]

Oblotzky best vintage inspired keycap sets

[ihalatch]

Stepped "Control" please? It'll be great with hhkb types.

[depletedvespene]

Stepped "Control" please? It'll be great with hhkb types.

Just out of curiosity... does a stepped vertical ("ISO") Enter key even exist in Cherry MX mount? In IBM Model M keyboards, ALL Caps Lock and vertical Enter keys are stepped, while in Cherry MX keycaps, both varieties of Caps Lock exist, but AFAIK, all vertical Enter keys are NON-stepped.
