Thoughts on moving the novs to a child kit to cut down potential base price?
Incoming 200 dollar base kit.
Not a fan of your kitting, but I can see why some may appreciate it.
Why aren’t you using a stock color for the white??
your kitting is really bad this is not going to make moq
your kitting is really bad this is not going to make moq
Some thoughts on kitting so no one is really giving suggestions:
- Move novelties to a child kit!
- You don't need both icon and 'super' 1u and 1.25u win keys. Pick one.
- Move 1.5u super and and 1.75u backspace to an extension kit.
- Split macro and space bar kits into separate child kits instead of 1 giant extension kit.
- Remove mini bars from base kit and create a mini bar child kit in either white or purple. 1u mini bars need to go here to.
- Make standalone white accent bar kit sans 1u bars.
- (Personal preference) Just put centered 6u space bar in the base kit.
- Splitting numpad may help with pricing.

So essentially you're proposing
Base Kit
Purple spacebar kit
White spacebar kit
Small spacebar kit
Novelties Kit
Macro Kit
Numpad Kit
Relegendables kit?

On second thought, it'd prob be better to do something along the lines of 6.25u and 7u accent bars, purple 6us, and purple mini bars in one space bar kit. So:
Base
Novelties
Space Bars
Macro
Extension
Relegendables
Numpad could go either way tbh. I think people usually remove it to get base kit cost down for moq reasons
Okay so I've considered this carefully, and I think I'm going to go with what I have at the moment for the following reasons
1. I like the idea that the base kit you buy it and it's compatible with pretty much everything right off the bat
2. I always use a numpad so I wouldn't want to split the numpad off, and it never actually saves any money
3. I've committed to buying out MOQ myself anyway so I really don't mind
your kitting is really bad this is not going to make moq
If it's not for you it's not for you. It should have compat for 40% keyboards in there anyway so not sure what you mean when you say kitting is bad
Base kit is ginormous, will be prohibitively priced. The 40s support you mentioned is nonexistent. You have the backspace key for one specific size of 40% and *nothing* else. Basic 40s support (called 3 key) is r2 1.75u (Backspace), r3 1.25u (Tab), r3 1.5u (Enter). That’s bare minimum to make them shut up. I don’t have any opinions on the set itself, that’s why I didn’t say any. The kitting is just not going to work and this will be another failed GMK GB. It needs a lot more work put into optimizing the kits to be realistic for current pricing:wait times.your kitting is really bad this is not going to make moq

i like the colours, but i do agree the kitting isn't exactly the best.
i personally think the novelties should be moved to a separate kit. with probably some of them being removed. i don't think someone is likely to use all the r1 keys on their board at once. and all the r4 keys only like 4 can be used at once. id suggest keeping the crown and the lion tiger.
moving to the base kit. you have 2x r4 Fn keys. i don't think this is needed. also the amount of keys to use for windows or supers is kinda extreme you could cut it back a bit. i don't know what the extra r2 backspace key is for as it doesn't have a size on it.
but most importantly your missing the hang bag caps lock and stepped handbag capslock. which is the best caps lock by far.

babe wake up, deep navy r2 with absurd kitting just dropped
The potential price of that base kit plus GMK's current lead times put me off from this entirely. :confused: I'm willing to eat my words if it turns out to be reasonable though.
And you're dead set on buying out MOQ before getting any pricing info? There's too many risks here atm.

Oh I already have the quote and it's within budget.
OK bro i just keeping finding more warning signs here....
this is literally just a slightly modified version of your last IC: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=115066.msg3089694#msg3089694
is it april 1st in Australia already?

You're a third of the way to basic 40s support. Ok technically you're only missing an r3 1.25u tab, but I strongly suggest adding at least a dozen or two 40s-specific keys.

If you already have quotes what do you plan on pricing this base kit at?

Currently waiting on lead vendor to provide an update on that, I can buy it out at wholesale though but I'm not allowed to share that information, not cheap though.
Yea... so this isn't an IC, just buy out MOQ and then sell in stock when GMK delivers to you, kthxbye.
Personally I'd move the novs to a separate kit because I hate novelty AND fun, other than that this set looks very good. Maybe remove what 40 support there is because I also hate 40% users with a burning passion.
nice kitting update. you still forgot the rest of the 40s keys tho. the literal 2 that are needed to support *most* 40s. they dont even have an incorrect legend alternative. dunno what the thinking was there, unless there wasnt any...

I am not. I don't care if you have 40s support, but if you're going to "have" it you should at least actually have it. Either have all 3 keys or none I don't care.

I mean, so far 100% of the (single) 40% people that I've actually spoken to about this have been adamant of two things
- The set must support 40%
- They are not buying it
Are you actually interested in buying it?

For the last time, minivan needs the 1.75u backspace key, yes. BUT it ALSO needs the SAME 1.25u r3 tab that every other staggered 40% uses, as well as a r3 1.5u enter key. You do not have minivan support, you have the funny backspace key. That is not 40s support, that is not minivan support, it is literally wasting every single buyers money. Read what I am saying and listen to it. I am trying to help you man. You said it yourself that you don't even know what the **** 40s are, I DO. And I am telling you the solution to a problem. Fix the problem, or remove the problem, don't keep defending it.I am not. I don't care if you have 40s support, but if you're going to "have" it you should at least actually have it.

Oh right, now I get it, how does this look then?Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/guxzXP3.png)
What would you even use r2 and r3 novelties for?
As much as i absolutely hate the color the yellow (seriously, worst color ever) and the Lakers, I think i still prefer phantom. The yellow came off as more of a gold, probably just my preconceived notions of what "regal" colors are.

Phantom the render or phantom the set? That’s closer to butter beige than it is to yellow or gold.
please remove 40%'s
Kit is almost fine but please please one more r4 1u alt for HHKB/Mac 7u, everything else is there for it.
Of my 5 40s, not one is minivan/"basic 40s" (I'm mostly 12u). Slightly amusing but I'm not asking for it.
Looking forward to seeing this on your wombat :)

Macro/65% nav column.

Phantom the keycap set. What's "phantom the render"?
Just happened to stumble upon this looking at desk mats, might work well for people interested in this set. https://www.redbubble.com/i/mouse-pad/Purple-Fleur-de-lis-by-muskitt/41192870.GAP22
I think that you should separate the spaces and macro into 2 kits
I'll think about it but personally when I was using a HHKB for the week that I had it I mapped one of the alts to function/layer 1 so I could actually use the bloody thing. I'd also say you could use the super keys for that, it's not perfect but it does solve the issue.

Do you not use the Fn next to the right shift or is this why you added two r4 1u Fn to the kit? I use Super keys for my OS keys, that's out.
Just an odd choice to leave out that second 1u alt for two 1.5u super kits.
Am I missing something or is there no R2 Esc for 40s compatibility? There's a R3 Tab and short Enter...

3-key 40s support doesn't usually include r2 esc from what I understand but since this base kit is so big already I agree that it should have been added.

This set is practically Gmk future funk without the colors. Same patone purple but diffrent white, that you'll most likely end up not even noticing any difference from a standard white. Would like to see more split kitting but will consider copping relegandable kit even though I don't enjoy supporting this abnoxios way of kitting.
[Edit] Lmao just noticed I already said this 💀
I would say the color is what we need after PHANTOM, but the kitting is suffering for acromegaly
I see pricing on Geon's Instagram for Korea, what is the US pricing?
on track to being my 128983th purple set
Take my monez
Let's make a set with novelties based on medievil Europe.smh
Also, let's not include European language support.
