I wouldn't really say blessing of Beamingrobot like he made the set. I'm not trying to play the bad guy here but give original credit where it's due.
Not that 7bit has ever cared about GMK, he did still create the original idea/colors. Not trying to get into an owning colorway discussion, I just think it's fair to give thanks when it's needed.
A few things I need to figure out:
(Please suggest solutions!)
- Which 1.5u Delete key to use.
- Whether it's worth including a second 2.25u Shift key.
- Whether the 1.75u Function key is worthwhile.
- Whether two 6U spacebars is worth it.
- How many ISO keys to include in the base - I'm trying to keep the cost down.

I'd be down for this.
Here is my take on some of the items you need to figure out.
1. 1.5u Delete: make it a <---- arrow icon backspace. I think it looks neatest from my experience owning multiple sets (see GMK Taro). Please do not use the < [X] backspace icon.
2. I think including a second 2.25u Shift key is useful for Clueboard and Leopold 660M users, etcetera. There is also use for the Shift key for other reasons, such as split spacebar, etc.
3. I don't think a 1.75u Function key is worthwhile, but I think you have the ultimate say on whether it should be included. I also wanted to suggest adding a stepped 1.75u R3 Control key. A lot of people use the Control key in that position, and personally, I always prefer the look of a stepped key in that position than a non-stepped one. Other sets have included Stepped Control, and it's been nice (see kekkon's GMK Dolch). If you won't include it, I'll live with it, but I'd recommend it ;D
4. I think the simplest form of ISO would be best -- that is, ISO enter, the two keys that go in the R3 row, short 1.25u Shift, R4 pipe key. Optionally you can include ISO-UK keys, which are the 1, 2, and 3 keys on the number row.
5. Other suggestions that I'd like to make.
a) Inclusion of 1u R4 00 key for splitting the 0 key of the numpad section.
b) Alternate homing key for the 5 in the numpad. I prefer a scoop for all my homing keys. I'd personally recommend having bar for one key, and scoop for the alternate.
c) R5 bottom row? With GMK Carbon R2 having been made successfully, we now have molds for R5 support for 1.25u mods as well as 1.5u mods. It's great. I think we should take advantage of it.
d) You are missing a 1.5u modifier colored Pipe key.
5c) I don't know of R5 will be viable (add keys to the base kit) but I'll explore it.

:cool: Thanks for the quick response.
Seems like we're in agreement for almost everything! That's really awesome.
Just to clarify my R5 suggestion -- replace R4 bottom for R5 (kind of the way Carbon R2 did it -- there was no R4 bottom row).

oooo I see. I'd rather have R4 over R5 then in that case.
You could also do what TA90 did, which is make R5 1.5u only and R4 1.25u only.

That'd be flawed and fatal for any layouts that may need to combine the two. See 65%/75%/96/1800 without the 0.5u blocker.
Do GMK have a mould for 1.25 convex yet? Someone with a popular set should just get that done (not hinting at this set specifically) sooner rather than later, it's a very useful key and it's just 1 mould, surprised it hasn't happened yet.
Not to my knowledge, but we can explore it.
Also curious if you guys would want/need split purple spaces?

Oblotzky has suggested using GMK's WS4 color for the alphas and mod legends instead of SP's WV. WS4 is the same cream color as GMK Camping and is based on SP's WCK, which is the original 7bit buy's cream color. I'll get renders of both and figure out which looks better.
K WCK wins

Good good. We actually ended up using WCK for SA VoC. Melissa emailed us and said that the WV had changed colors a couple years ago, and WCK would be more suited.

i hope this will come to a GB very soon. i love the purple alpha so much
Specs at this time:
- No novelties. I'm hoping to work with a few artisan makers to produce matching artisans though.
Any chance of something Rama purple? Everything after purple alphas and spacebar kit is gravy to me tho.
Would you be willing to consider adding an R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn?
I'll be in for a base kit.
I have the similar JTK purple on white set from a while back but this has more flexibility.
very nice set :thumb:
my problem:
i want to have all purple kit to cover my future 40% (prime_e). which means ill have to buy all 4 kits; this is ok if i can cover a second board except all my boards uses 1.75u shift.
possible solutions:
1. add 1.75u shift to 40s kit
2. make 40s kit bigger so base kit is not required
if this is fixed you can count me in :D
Hangul sublegends?
Unlikely, I know. I'm in even without
are there any plans to do full cherry profile, i.e., R0 and R5?
are there any plans to launch the GB tomorrow?

No? it says August in the OP, lol

wow, didn't expect this set to launch tomorrow already, exciting!
Just wanted to ask - would it be a big change if ISO-UK 2 and 3 caps be added to base kit?
It's just 2 caps, other GMK kits had them in the past.
I find this a deal breaker for myself, as if you go with basic ISO, you will end up with 2x # and 2x @ keys...
40's kit looks awesome, but it needs a 1.75u Shift to be perfect.
I'm down to back this set! love the cream look and the full violet set.
can't wait to see what deskmats come in fruitation of this colorway.
Space Cadet alphas? As long as we're channeling 7bit ;D

Included in Base Kit already.
I can't wait to join GB.
When will GB possibly start?
anyone know how to reach 7bit or jil?
Wish it comes with some novelty keys. Right now it looks really nice but lack some surprise and wow factor.

PM'd 7bit about the kbrunner and lotus icons he used on the original sets, no reply yet though :-[
Haven't heard from 7bit yet, we went ahead and got pricing from GMK:
Base kit - $115
Purple alphas - $70
40s kit - $35
Spacebars - $35
All in USD and the Novelkeys pricing - other pricing from the proxy vendors to come.

I see 40 ortho support, but only if you use mismatched colors on the R4 1u-c keys . Is this intentional?

Were the two extra ISO UK caps in this quote for the base?
I would be super happy if these two were included!
Since Novelkeys is here, please give him your H87A PCB. We need more of that PCB.
too bad that you didnt include an ISO or International Kit, would have gotten it otherwise

I hope 7bit replies in time to include those novelties in the kit, it would be very cool to have them in cherry profile

Alphas: 76 EUR
Space: 36 EUR
40s: 36 EUR

123€ = approx. $137
$137 - $115 = $22 more, probably the 19% tax.

ty mr janglad
how dark will the purple be? It seems some renders are very dark but some are bright
Also how is this purple compared to phantom?
