I can't even be bothered to type how that doesn't even make sense.

And no, despite the fact that yes most people wouldn't care about the arrows, there are certainly more people that want correct APL legends than there are fans of VIM.

Whoa there, there are lots of vim users out there.  But actual vim users don't need special keycaps to know where the cursor keys are...

(That aside I still don't know why people call them vim keycaps, it should really be vi keycaps.  There is nothing vim-specific about it, and if anything vim users are more likely to be using standard arrow keys.  Old versions of vi didn't even support arrow keys and you had to hjkl.  Yet we call them vim keys for some reason?  It's weird...)

I don't need no printed arrows, it's simply that you with this set, you know that you have the wrong arrows printed in your keycaps. That's the autistically annoying pressing fact.

VIM is cool I guess, but I definitely am not buying [what is supposed to be] a historical reproduction with VIM keys. Also shouldn't we call Red Cadet, Space Comrade?

I proxy anything including keyboards (キーボード / 鍵盤), from both Japan (日本) and China (中國). For more information, you may visit my dedicated webpage here: https://www.keyboards.es/proxying.html

It's only wrong if it is supposed to be VI(M)

Although I'm a newish Vim user, I don't need printed keys to show me where the arrow binds are. If anything, I could use a whole keyset to show me where the other binds are! The more I use Vim, the more I realize how the keys are just for aesthetic purposes; all you need is to know where J is, and that's provided by the homing key.

VIM is cool I guess, but I definitely am not buying [what is supposed to be] a historical reproduction with VIM keys. Also shouldn't we call Red Cadet, Space Comrade?

I could be wrong, but the guy who originally started producing the Vim caps calls them that: https://vimcaps.com/.
Ever since, they've been called Vim key/caps.

Also, why would Vim users use standard arrow keys? I thought Vim was just Vi improved--no more, no less.

You certainly can still use hjkl in vim, but it's not always optimal.  The big problem should be obvious: if you're in input mode hitting hjkl will type 'hjkl'.  Meaning that traditionally you have to constantly switch modes even to just move the cursor around and edit things.  With vim you have full arrow key support so you can move the cursor around without leaving input mode.  Again it's not like you can't use hjkl but I associate that more with vi than vim.  Arrow keys are handy...

I've never paid much attention to vim because I prefer emacs/nano/ped, but I thought the whole point of vi/m was to reduce the number of keystrokes and movement of your hands?

Just download and use Spacemacs and use Evil mode (or use Evil mode in Emacs) and you'll find out!

If I'm not mistaken, Vimkey support is typically added as a separate kit (if it is added to a set at all), right? The same could be done for GMK Space Cadet, though I doubt it would hit MOQ. In any event, it makes zero sense to me to destroy the canonical Space Cadet legend arrangement in the base kit just to satisfy a handful of vi users.

Adding VIM to this set is comical, to put it mildly. If it's a separate kit obviously I have nothing against its addition but in the base kit it's not happening.

Lol that doesn't change anything. This will get dropped regardless as Oblotzky has connections with Massdrop all that matters is where they decide it falls in their schedule.

Having a poll that is closing in on 2000 votes certainly helps the case though! It still takes a bit of convincing Yanbo to run a set because he has to make investors happy and such. It is only at this point that it doesn't really matter anymore since it's scheduled to drop  :rolleyes:

Is this the next set that's dropping after canvas or will there be another GMK set inbetween? Since serika, we've had pulse and canvas inbetween so should be a GMK set next.

MD's keyset queue doesn't solely rely on vote counts. For once, Green Screen was never really advertised outside of GeekHack, so having gotten to 1300 by just GH and the poll existing is impressive already, but primarily MD rotates through the profiles. You rarely see a back to back GMK drop for example. With GMK Serika having closed last month, it makes more sense to have XDA now and then some SA before returning to GMK.

Fixed APL legend of X key, I mistakenly rotated it instead of mirroring.

Sent color samples to GMK today, we'll be starting the matching process ASAP to avoid delays as much as possible.

Colors are:
Blue - Matched to R6 (SP-BFP)
Grey - Matched to R6, even though R6 used SP-GD just like SA Oblivion, which I had matched for the GMK version, the resin batch used for R6 is slightly colder which I would like to keep to better pair with the blue mods
Black Legends - GMK-NN from standard colors
Cream Legends - Either just cutting open a R6 grabbag key to match (again, old SP-WV is different to current SP-WV, so ordering a colorchip from SP is possibly useless) or a blend of GMK-CP (standard color) and GMK-WS4 (one of the cream colors created for GMK Camping) since CP by itself is a nice off-white, but missing a touch of warmth.

Might as well go the extra step and color match the white to the R6 white.... if you're willing to sacrifice a cap that is :p. I'm super excited to see this set come to fruition!

With the legends going a custom color, do you think the color would be close enough to CP to mix with oblivion mods?

Gotcha, I was hoping on pairing Cadet alphas and Oblivion mono mods. Hope it won't look too off if another white is chosen.

Solution: Buy the blue alphas in addition to the base and use them. Now you have spare grey alphas and a whole board’s worth of blue!

This set will definitely remain 112344. Row 5 is missing a few key sizes necessary to make it work with modern base kits. This is additional cost the GB must carry, and we already have the Cadet Alphas that require new plates at 150eur each, meaning we are looking at 10-20$ above the regular base kit price as it is. Plus a few more 1u keys would need to be added to the base kit for proper R0/R1 coverage (see proposed Carbon R2 base kit). In addition, R0 and R5 would **** with the Symbols kit as well, I would need to duplicate every R1 into R0 so that both big layouts and small layouts can enjoy those, and also add some more at the bottom to make it work nicely. The Symbols kit has 10 new legends (1500eur in tooling), so adding another 10+ keys to it will make the price uncomfortable as well.

Apart from cost, the time would also probably not be enough. Having the new R5 molds made takes much longer than making new legend plates. I estimate that GMK Carbon will launch 2-3 months after GMK Space Cadet, so t0m has a lot more time available to get things prepared.

I hope that people really enjoy R0/5, so that MOQ on hitting a fix kit for this would be possible ;)

Agreed. This would be sublime, and the vintage nature of this set would make it a perfect candidate.

In a world where most of the users are flipping the spacebars, I don't understand what can you find in a profile that's simply and clearly trying to hurt you.

Huh? I think you are just reiterating what Romevi said in a lovingly, yet obnoxious way... but not sure

Edit: (Didn't mean to come off as salty as my re-reading of this seemed, just srsly a bit confused. <2)

R5 is fine, even preferrable, if you type ergonomic-style and not like chyrosan22.  ;)

This is a GMK set, not SP. GMK lead times are about 16 weeks consistently for years now. I would expect this to ship within 5 months of the drop closing. Laser took so long because the alphas color was hard to finalize. But with Space Cadet, it has rather easy colors that I already sent in as actual plastic samples which makes matching much much easier. We might even see final samples while the drop is still live.
