I think this set really suits people who are interested in having a nice simple clean theme!! Like really back to the basics.

Snappo · « **Reply #51 on:** Fri, 01 June 2018, 04:36:24 »

Very interested in this.

Side7X · « **Reply #52 on:** Fri, 01 June 2018, 06:45:37 »

I like it! Simple & clean, and I like the printer theme with the colors and possible novelties. Will be in for the GB when it happens.

Cheers!

beyond the number of caps, what differences are there with the gmk stormtrooper? colors? Is this "less" white? (if i may say so)

I know it will never happen, but maybe add WoB modifiers as a set?

That would be cool! No plans to add that to this set, but hopefully GMK Originative runs soon enough that you can mix and match

Stormtrooper is CP base, and this is planned to be WS1. While it's relative, most people consider WS1 to be "more" white.

Matches my need for a Stormtrooper ish keyset , Im interested

Very interesting. I might actually get this.

This looks great! I love the 9009 kit design. My only suggestion is to change the Alt Gr to Alt on the WKL bottom row. It improves the symmetry for WKL and HHKB layouts, and euros already know that the key is Alt Gr anyway.

zap2oz · « **Reply #58 on:** Sun, 03 June 2018, 15:58:40 »

Looks clean! Definitely in for this if it makes it to production

oh, thank you for elucidation, from the renders I thought it was similar to cream white, so I was wrong.

zumu · « **Reply #61 on:** Tue, 05 June 2018, 13:11:45 »

UPDATE: I just got confirmation from GMK, they have received my quote request. I submitted the following kits:

1. A large base kit (the kle layout on the original post)
2. A smaller base kit (same but minus 40's compatibility and split spacebars)
3. A 40's kit (roughly based on the GMK Olivia 40's set + extra small spacebars)
4. The accent kit (featured on the original post)

I'm at work or I'd post the layouts submitted. For the main kit, the plan is to go with 1 if it is cheap enough (2 and 3 were submitted as back up). 4 is to continue as is with perhaps some minor color tweaks.

ashwinv11 · « **Reply #62 on:** Tue, 05 June 2018, 13:49:33 »

Was waiting for this

zumu · « **Reply #63 on:** Tue, 05 June 2018, 21:47:22 »

Here's what I submitted to GMK for quotes:

The large base kit -- the preferred option

The smaller base kit -- in case the large kit is too expensive or the community would rather have a separate 40's/spacebar kit

The 40's/spacebar kit -- key selection was based off requests from the thread and from other 40's kits.

The accent kit (credit to jebbra) -- current plan for colors is N5, MG1, CV, CR, and the legend is CR. GMK has said the CR on CR may not be visible, so we might have to tweak here. Also important to note is the choice of N5 over TU2 for cyan. The goal is to make it as close to actual print cyan as possible. Also, the enter legends will be changed to match the base set.

On the GMK renders, R4 seems a little yellowed for some reason. I'm assuming the shader on the renderer is a little off. I can follow up on this.

Shouldn't the accent kits also have icon mod enters? Other than that, I think the small kit would be better if the price is much lower.

The accent will also have icon mod enters.

Even if I couldn't afford the base kit, that's one of my favourite CMYK sets I've ever seen and I'd be 100% down for one of those

Same with me. I thought it looked nice the first time I saw it. Now I've looked at it half a dozen times and am strongly leaning towards joining the GB if/when it happens. It'd open up so many cool options with other mods as well.

giangpn · « **Reply #72 on:** Thu, 07 June 2018, 11:06:30 »

uhmmmm, nice! just a dumb question, is the white same as GMK Pristine?

GMK Pristine uses the color code L9 for the white, which is closer to off-white beige. It's the same color used in the alphas for 9009. This set will use WS1 which is a much brighter white. There would be no point in running this set if it was the same as Pristine.

I see, so this set would look a bit closer to the JTK Stormtrooper then? I'll prolly be in for the CMY accents though haha.

Definitely interested, I would prefer text mods but it looks like that ship has sailed.

Theswetiyeti · « **Reply #76 on:** Sun, 01 July 2018, 12:09:45 »

I would like to have a double zero. I have a numpad and I use the bottom two rows as my arrow cluster. Not sure whether this is a deal breaker for me. Other wise I love the set. I think it is a vary clever concept. And it looks so clean. Can't wait for more details. Will be watching this set. Good luck

The GMK renders look really nice. Imo it'd be better to split the base kit into the smaller version + the 40's/small board stuff.

Would prefer the larger base set, as the compatibility is a -must- for my weird builds.

Looking forward to this happening. Was on the fence between this and Monochrome, but realized this is definitely the set I need for the build I have envisioned.

Out of recent BoW GMK sets we have the following whites

Stormtrooper - CP
Pristine - L9
Paper - WS1

Does anyone have an idea which white best matches existing OG GMK BoW sets from keyboards such as the G80-1838 or WEY series keyboards?

Sorry for going silent on everyone. It seemed like interest had tapered off, so this got moved to the back burner.

I did get quotes back from GMK, and they seemed pretty reasonable given we're using default colors. To fully calculate the expected price, I'd need to work with some vendors. Speaking of which, if you're a vendor and interested, please feel free to reach out.

If there is renewed interest, I am totally ready to start moving the ball forward again. However, I am a bit concerned with a similar ePBT set shipping soon, and another mono-color set (Monochrome) getting reading to drop.

otanishock · « **Reply #94 on:** Mon, 27 August 2018, 03:54:46 »

Albeit monochrome is a pretty hyped up monochrome set (and I know I'm part of the bandwagon), I think this one is distinctively different enough that it will hold its own merit. Would personally love to see it comes to fruition.

I am still 100% interested in this, on its own merits and as a WS1 set to pair with GMK Metaverse.

vtachkov · « **Reply #96 on:** Mon, 27 August 2018, 09:49:08 »

Even with epbt BoW and Monochrome, there should still be good demand left for a proper GMK BoW set. I know I was hoping to get up to two sets.

I'd give it some time to let the hype for the other sets go back down but since it looks like you need to work things out with the vendors, that should give you enough time before going live.

Still very interested. I think it's good timing too. This, to me, is the proper balance with GMK Originative that just finished. Perfectly inverse colors, with symbol legends to contrast Originative's text legends. I'm planning a build mixing these two sets, so definitely want to buy this. Monochrome wouldn't work out for me at all, and Pristine/Stormtrooper use a much duller white I dislike. Really hoping this set pushes through and gets done.

This is what WS1 keycap set looks like http://kbdlab.co.kr/index.php?document_srl=3904226 (with V4 legends). They are sterile white, gives unnatural bleached look.
My personal preference is CP over WS1.

I'd agree. But I've been looking for a BOW to got with my WOB, so I'll be keeping an eye on this one no matter what.

HOBI3CAT · « **Reply #99 on:** Wed, 29 August 2018, 08:54:55 »

After looking for GMK Stormtrooper for a while now, this is amazing! Let's not delay the GB at all, how about we start right away! I'm 100% in!
But honestly, everything about this is great: WS2 is the perfect balance of white, and the compatibility of the large base set is PERFECT for my weird layouts. I'm so hype for this now!
