Slight kitting updates, added an enter to the alpha kit, while relocating the latin B to the spacebar kit.
Lowered the brightness on the kit renders, which should represent the colors more accurately.
Pics of the physical RAL colors will be posted with a reference once the sun comes out in the Netherlands.
Last change for now is some additions to the form, including a text+icon vs icon poll.
Update 04/08/2021
Added fixed Onyx renders, the bloom was turned up too high in the previous ones, and confirmed a collab with Keebstuff

I appreciate the inclusion of the tab key in the Latin alpha kit, but usually that requires the base kit to have two enter keys (Dolch R5 for example has an accented enter). While having an ISO enter does technically count, including the tab but not enter does make putting the kit on two boards more difficult, which in my mind feels like the whole point of an alt-alpha kit that includes tab.
Other than that, set looks fantastic. Always welcome to see more green sets, this one looks like a winner.
Yes, good point, I will include a second enter in either the alpha or the basekit

We never got nautilus nightmares reference colors-it was just the renders at IC (and early renders in late 2018 were different than those at GB and to me neither looked very close to the actual set). Something similar for Peaches n Cream-designer had some in mind but we didn’t know them at the time of GB. The biggest worry for me isn’t that right now, it’s someone picks a reference color and then discards it because "it didn’t look like the renders" (Firefly, Future Funk, maybe another). If on your most color accurate monitor or RAL deck you like the color you’re probably set.
Anyways...I’d like the icon mods but I’m in either way.
Post by: paperassgasket on Thu, 11 March 2021, 00:20:42
I will echo the hope for language agnostic icon only mods. 3 key (R2 1.75u Backspace, R3 1.25u Tab and R3 1.5 Enter) covers the vast majority of 40s layouts physically. And maybe an outside shot at Cyrillic F row? ф1, ф2, etc just has that look to it. (If those molds are public, I guess) Спасибо!
Nice set! Would you consider all-icon mods? Would work a lot better with the Cyrillic alphas than having Cyrillic monolegends alphas and English mods imo. Also please consider adding 3 key 40s support in base!
These are both the correct opinion.
At the VERY least, please no Dixie (centered) mods, but also, icon only feels like the right choice here.

To be honest my huge gripe is that the cyrillic alphas don't match the english text mods. Missed opportunity to go full cyrillic. But I like green too much that it shouldn't affect my decision, unless I have too many sets to buy in the month that this runs.
ANY WAY you would consider cyrillic mods? Or possibly just icon mods? ;D

Any chance to have the base kit with Latin letters instead of Cyrillic, or at least split the alphas and the mods so one can then choose their preferred alphabet?

Totally agree that icon+ English text mods don't fit with cyrillic alphas.

Personally I don't understand the argument against text+icons, since you'd still have plenty of other english mods like escape, nav keys and bottom row...I guess if it came to me I'd go for whatever og russian kbs have always used?
Strongly agree with the latin alternate base kit instead of latin alphas though. I can touch type ok, but when it comes to punctuation I need to look, and that layout is all over the place. As much as I love the look of cyrillic I'd have to go for the latin anyway...
(please also consider accents!)
(And please consider novelties!)

(And please consider novelties!)
So I initially saw the monolegends being used on this keyboard, which has text+icon mods.
I currently still intend to go with this unless the IC form proves that icon modifiers are massively preferred.
I might inquire about making custom russian text+icon molds, but we'll have to see about that...

As far as accents go, I am satisfied with how the set looks as is and don't see any sort of accent improving on it.

This is especially a problem because getting Latin alphas already requires purchasing a separate kit. A lot of people need Latin legends and if the base kit is costly you may alienate people, who would otherwise purchase the set.
Post by: kidpid on Fri, 26 March 2021, 17:00:00
I'm strongly against 40s support in the base. There is a reason no one does it: it will increase the price of the base kit significantly, and since 40s community is small (just look sales numbers for other sets), you risk loosing more sales then you gain.
This is especially a problem because getting Latin alphas already requires purchasing a separate kit. A lot of people need Latin legends and if the base kit is costly you may alienate people, who would otherwise purchase the set.
40s in base consists of 3 keys. That's hardly going to increase the price. I'm strongly for 40s in base. I was not considering purchasing this set prior to their inclusion. Plus, there's plenty of sets that have been including those 3 keys in base lately. "No one does it" is hardly accurate. I'm guessing that you didn't even notice that those 3 40s keys are already in the base kit render.

Thanks for pointing that out, you may be quite right, it's just I'm a little anxious after GMK Iconographic failure and don't want to see another incredible set not hitting the MOQ.

@oggi wondering if there’s a tentative timeline for running this set. not sure I have room for 2 green sets and gmk zooted is starting in a few weeks. (ngl, this is my preference.) the cyrillics kick it over the top!
Keep some funds reserved for June;)

This would be awesome if it turned into the crylic 'gmk masterpiece' of sorts with the crylic text + icon mods.
Very unique indeed.

I agree with you on this.
Cyrillic alphas + English mods doesn't seem right. Icon mods would perfect this set.

Those greens are absolutely fire! Any chance for a alt base kit with the latin alphas? Feel like getting to choose language would be a nice option and would make it a lot more appealing for me.
Yeah, agree. I think I would pull the trigger on this given latin base.

You can probably bring down the cost of your spacebars kit significantly by moving the two doubleshot keys to their respective base and alpha kits. Such an act would reduce the number of colors of plastic in the spacebar kit and also shift those keys from lower-MOQ pricing to higher-MOQ pricing.

Please add a UK ISO to base kit or even Norde kit separately if possible.
He might be able to add it to the Latin alphas kit, but base is in the Russian layout. It already has physical ISO support.
Unless you meant Ukrainian ISO, which could be added to base fairly easily.

If GMK has the legends already, you might be able to use K1-12 instead of Ф1-12 (assuming you're trying to avoid paying for new legends). K-keys, as opposed to F-keys, were found on such Soviet-era boards as the UKNC.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/UKNC.jpg)
The other possibility would be using M1-12 instead of F1-12, like what you have in the extension kit, since M could stand for макрос.

I wish I had seen this before, but there is a R4 1u Алт/Alt key missing from both base kits (and it's really quite important to have that key). Also, the R1 and R3 1u \/ keys in Cyrillic base should be alpha-colored, like the corresponding \| keys in Latin base are. Kitting looks great otherwise.
Edit: There is also a legend discrepancy between R2 1u Кон and R1 1u Кнц. Both keys should use the same legend. I think Кнц makes more sense, but you could just as well have the whole word, Конец, on there (although you may not want to, for symmetry with the abbreviated Нач legend).
Edit 2: The Cyrillic Num Lock legend appears to be using small caps (ЦИФР); it should use regular lowercase letters instead (Цифр).
Edit 3: This is likely just a rendering oversight, but one pair of homing alpha keys in each base kit, А/О and F/J, appear to be rendered as regular non-homing keys instead of scooped keys. It's obvious what the intent here was, but you might wanna fix this just in case, to avoid any confusion with GMK (since an actually scooped 5 key is also present in the kits).

There were some "rendering mistakes", but i'm not sure how many (just was making a few remarks in discord the other day). Also agree/suggested "Кон" instead of "Кнц", but it seems not everyone thinks the same or/plus it's a designers choice. Good eye on homing keys."Кон" is going to be in the final version

I plan on keeping the extension kit latin only to cut down on mold costs, and based on the feedback form (https://imgur.com/p7u0qWT) I ran a while back it seems that the majority wants to stay as is. Definitely will be a thing for R2 though (if that ever happens)

Hi!
Obviously, there are multiple ways to translate legends. So while we were designing them we had decided to follow some rules:
1. The legends, their abbreviation method should be consistent across all keys instead of being all over the place.
2. Everything should be grammatically correct.
3. As much as possible we should pay homage to historical examples of real Soviet boards.
Regarding your particular concerns:
Backspace/Забой — is the direct translation in this case, it means “забой каретки” which was used on historical boards and came from old typewriters: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backspace
PrtScr/Печ — in Russian language you can’t remove vowels to shorten a word (it’s considered grammatically incorrect), which is why we’ve landed on that particular translation. The same key is also present on historical boards. “Печь” which translates to “Oven”, although similar, has another letter at the end, so we thought that shouldn’t cause confusion.

As a native Russian language speaker, I just can't stand localized mods. I think they are only good as homage to old sets. In other cases they just looks bizarre to me. It's shame that only those will be available, it's a nice colorway. GL with GB regardless.As a matter of fact I felt the same way as you at first, but after staring at the legends for many hours it suddenly looks fine
I think the reason they might look bizarre for Russian native speakers is that all modern boards exclusively use Latin for mods. We just aren't used to seeing them.
However, that is kind of the idea: to make something unique and new yet retro-inspired.
Hopefully, it will feel at home after a couple of days on a board even if the owner is a Russian native speaker.

There is only a few keyboards made using Cyrillic modifiers. All of the translation of the mods doesn't fit modern days keyboards in my opinion, they just looks like poor adaptation of GOST (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOST) which is oudated and looks bizzare nowadays. And combination of icon + text makes it even worse looking. Also the font you choose are different from what Cherry/GMK use (see K/Я/З/У etc.). It all makes it mishmashed.As a native Russian language speaker, I just can't stand localized mods. I think they are only good as homage to old sets. In other cases they just looks bizarre to me.

Same as for Masterpiece: キャプスロック for example do not exist in any modern layouts, not to mention they spell it as キャプ / スロック (Cap /slock). Good example of localized mods would be the ones that Cherry made for German layout or French layout. Yet again, localized mods only good if you making a homage set like Simple Ja or if it's done properly like mentioned before.

Is text+icon latin mods + Cyrillic alphas possible?
Given the current numbers for sets in GB, proximity of the request to the GB date vs how long it takes for quotes, and the ability of the designer to update geekhack, imma go with No
Post by: andreiborisov on Thu, 03 February 2022, 02:46:54
The alphas font on the renders is not quite the same as that will be on the actual caps, we’ll use molds that were introduced by GMK Yuri, so there won’t be a font clash.There is only a few keyboards made using Cyrillic modifiers.

Yes, this set is meant to be retro-inspired, however, we’ve designed the translations with the hope that the new molds will be used by other designers and sets in the future.
Since like you’ve mentioned there are only a few keyboards that used translated mods, there aren’t any well-established long-standing translations, hence any attempt in translating the mods will be forced to establish those itself.
Can you elaborate a bit more on what makes German and French Cherry layouts being done properly, while this is not?

Can you elaborate a bit more on what makes German and French Cherry layouts being done properly, while this is not?They translate meaning of the keys properly (not literally) and doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. For example "Page Down" in German layout not translated like "Seite auf" but "Bild ↑" instead.
For Shift, Enter, Tab and Backspace they use icon mods cause in that languages they don't have official translation for those keys. As well as we are. «Заглавные» for example relates more to first letter of the word, we say «прописные» when we want to tell if word should be all uppercase. Not to mention that in stepped caps variant, it's abbreviated wrong way (should be «заглавн» not «заглав», see §116 of Russian rules).
Another thing to mention that Russian PC layout came from IBM and was an adaptation (very poor I would say because to input the comma you need to hold down Shift) of US layout. People didn't use to translated mods and even most of native speakers doesn't know anything about «забой» and all that stuff, it's all came from typewritters that nobody even remember nowadays. In German and French it's different, they grown using keyboards with their layout. When people type in Russian, they don't say "I need to press «регистр» and then the letter", they say "I need to press «шифт» and then the letter".
Aside from Shift, Enter, Tab and Backspace:
1. why does Control have translation while Alt doesnt?
2. «Супер» sounds silly and there is better translation for that
3. What does «Вст» mean ? Вставить or встать? According to rules of abbreviations in Russian language, you have to make abbreviation univocal. Same for «Нач», «Кон», «Функ».
4. «Печ» looks awful as it is and what it suppose to mean in modern layout? It's executes different action, not printing.
5. Why R1 and R4 Page Down says «Кнц» but R2 says «Кон»?
6. «СтВв» and «СтВн» looks very silly as well. There is one word translation that looks better.
7. «Экран» and «Цифр» - what that suppose to mean?
8. There is better translation for Fn if you need that key. Also see 3 if you keeping it.

Too late for this now, but one thing to consider for the future is that for Cyrillic sets, Ukrainian ISO is a viable option in lieu of physical/terminal ISO. It would add 6 alphas (rather than 2), similar to the difference between terminal US and UK ISO.

Please don't forget R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn in the new kits, those keys are important for 65% support. :)
Looks good otherwise, although you have R1 1u Ctrl, Alt keys in the base kit for no apparent reason; I'm assuming this is a render error.
Also, I think some of those 1u legends, such as Функц, Конец, Стр↲Вверх, might not fit on the keys.
The second R4 1u Ctrl key in the extension kit can be removed since there are practically no modern keyboards/layouts that use 2× 1u Ctrl. Alternatively, I suggest replacing it with a generic R4 1u key (e.g. Супер).

To take advantage of the opportunity it grants to easily expand locale support? And to offer support for an actual Cyrillic layout that uses ISO.

Are you sure that «Прописные» would be a more appropriate legend for Caps Lock than «Заглавные»?
I'm not a native speaker of Russian myself, but I'm aware that прописные can refer to both uppercase and cursive letters (deriving from the meaning of the word пропись). However, some Russian friends I've asked have said that they more directly associate заглавные with uppercase letters, while прописные is reserved for handwritten, cursive letters. So I'm not sure what to think.
Here is a bit of related discussion (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Обсуждение:Прописная_буква) I found on the RU Wikipedia article for прописная буква. Please advise.

Those are synonyms in modern Russian language. Therefore both would be fine on a keyboard.
Ultimately, I’ve decided to change it to “прописные” after Qarmaa brought my attention to it, since it is considered to be preferable (it is the correct linguistic term for it), while “заглавные” is more of an “unofficial” version which is widely used.
Etymology of the word “прописные” goes back to the times before the invention of printing press, when people would need to “прописывать” first letters of a chapter by making it all fancy and big.
“Заглавные” has a similar etymology however. It came from “заглавие” which you can roughly translate as “chapter”.
We shouldn’t be concerned about etymology though. What’s important is the current meaning of the word and “прописные” is considered more of a “official” term hence it’s more appropriate for a keyboard legend in my opinion.

Total Noob here. Actually just signed up for geekhack because I was moaning to a friend of mine how hard it is to find a cyrillic keyboard (without the latin), aftern which he sent me a link here. Haven't seen any comments here for about 6 weeks; Does this mean that this set is available for sale, or did I miss the chance to purchase?
Welcome to Geekhack! This set is in the interest check (IC) phase. Eventually it should open to preorders in a group buy (GB), but after that it will be in the queue for production (probably 1.5-2 years).
So if you need something soon, and what you want is full Cyrillic Russian alphas without any Latin on them, you’re best off looking for GMK Perestroika on the secondary market (which will be expensive) or potentially something like SA Yuri.

This is one of the nicest GMK sets I've ever seen, but lack of R5 is a real dealbreaker for me.
Considering the price increase that comes with R5, I think you'll find that inclusion of R5 ends up being a dealbreaker for far more people. Especially for a set that's already going to have to pay for a ton of brand new legends.

Especially for a set that's already going to have to pay for a ton of brand new legends.I wasn't trying to suggest any specific implementation, e.g putting it in the base kit, or replacing R4. I agree that'd be pretty daft, especially for this particular set, and I think R4 is absolutely necessary.
I wasn't going to make a personal recommendation, since obviously.. everything is entirely up to the runners. But if I had to, I'd recommend having it as a separate kit, even if it carries a hefty cost because of low quantities; I'd gladly pay a lot extra for R5 in a separate kit, but without it.. I wouldn't have any interest in buying the set at all.

Is it possible to add a kit with perestroika’s color, should be a win win win and even win case!
Guess it's too late but totally support the idea. Like two shades of red - one OG from Perestroika and the other a bit darker. Would literrally ruin myself for it if comes to exist. Well, will do it anyway for Taiga :D
please add the perestroika color and also text only shifts.
Please also add space cadet colours with Hangul sublegends.

Y’all asking to add kits when the main goal here oughta be to get enough orders in the opening week that the vendors leave the buy open the whole month. It’s a tough time to run GMK and especially w new molds. Get the molds made w some success and more possibilities and colors open up down the road.
We all know there will be non Perestroika color kit. Let us dream for a little while... ggggggg comment was a trolling :D

Already waiting too much for OG GMK BRG, you can keep that one :D

Are you planning to add latin alphas as a extra kit?
Not sure if it's been mentioned in this GH thread, but on the designer's discord, it's been mentioned that they'll be avoiding a latin alphas kit as to ensure that the cyrillic kit ends up meeting MOQ.

It seems you are the only one cannot get the context Perestroika and Taiga are 90%+ similar except for the color. Why? I can read it from your signature, humble kc king.

Well if you wanna reduce it down like that then every set could be 80-90% the same except the color. Why doesn't every set have a GMK Oblivion kit? smh

Very interesting colors, absolutely love the Cyrillics and would love them to be the main legends but no Latin at all makes them unusable for me.
Post by: Luna on Sat, 02 July 2022, 13:03:05
I saw the IC there was a question about Latin sublegends on the alphas instead of Latin alphas.
You should really keep the Cyrillics as main, preserves the theme, is very beautiful and hasn't been done before I think.
EU but ANSI user here.
A few metal artisans would be nice as well.
Really hope for a GB, would be an instant buy for me with sublegends on the alphas.

this is so stupid that i don't even know where to begin. you think using the same GMK molds (Latin, Cyrillic or otherwise) makes your set 90%+ like another one? it seems like no explanation will sink in. try creating a set where a child kit just "borrows" colors from another popular set, like rudy/darling/PnC/etc, and then see how fast "your" set gets rejected by the vendors.

So will the set go live with only Cyrillic-Alphas or will there be a Latin-Alpha or Latin-Sub-Alpha set as well?

I wish there was latin base kit. No buy for me. GLWGB
I wish it was like that as well, but in the current climate running two basekits (where one contains a buttload of new molds) just isn't viable
Post by: Oggi on Tue, 12 July 2022, 14:45:14
So I guess no latin legends/sublegends on the alphas?

No R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn anywhere in the set? What a damn shame. I was looking forward to picking this set up, but it's not really usable without those keys.
Imagine being able to decipher Taiga's legends. Ignorance is bliss ig.
On a side note: where gb thread? Get going, mods!

grabbed a set.I really wanted to because I find the combination of the two greens so much and like the sets available as well, they provide all I need in just a few sets.But sadly the absence of Latin sublegends on the alphas put me off.
Post by: saltimate on Tue, 26 July 2022, 21:54:19
might still get tbh
latin sublegends are dumb, look gross, and are over done. **** people who need them on every damn set. #monoaltisking #monolatinisbasic #subsaretrash #opisahero #idontthinkhashtagsarerelevantongeekhackbutidc
