"Because the Group Buy will be organized by Originative" ...
Would be interested to see what people think of using text+icon mods to keep in line with the original set.
I mean, I guess I'll have to get it b/c it's a Tob3ry deal. But I like that JTK Toxic is only $80 :(
Oh wow, I did not know that danielucf was the original designer.
Just need 3, 1u keys in base - assuming folks use the r3 Toxic novelty - for min. ortho support:
r2: Out
r4: Enter and Shift
Are you planning on running a spacebar kit?

I do try to hit the original design as good as possible but i want this to be Cherry OG icon mods because the colors have pretty good contrast on each other. If next round happens (one day probably) then it can be done with icon + mods.
I want that.
I need that.

...came to my mind after casually scrolling and thinking "well, it does pretty much like terminal, so i guess i won't need this." i was wrong, once again.
seriously, are there face-to-face comparison pics with toxic and terminal? from all the different google pics with tons of different lightning i can not be sure how different it'll come out.
Any possibility of another alpha kit with dual [Latin/JP] sublegends? Toxic => Radiation => Japan (from Godzilla lore to Fukushima leaks)
Lighting might not be ideal, but there is a pretty significant difference. Here is a comparison to Terminal, and one to the yellow of Serika:
Well I guess this will just have to be my most expensive set of the year since its on oco.

The set even has a salt key for you.
I like these colors. What I'm worried about is how the set will really look. So samples are needed ASAP.I have no grip on vendors etc. I am doing only the ic and kit design.
There is a mistake in ISO: there are two keys which are identical, and they shouldn't be.
\| R3 and R4 keys
Since you deliver from EU, this could be a nice, original and inexpensive set. Wait. Is it going to be run by originative with import taxes and all?

The base does not really support ISO but offers ISO compatibility. The pipe keys are fillers for ISO, so they are on point.
Having two identical keys is really annoying.
UK iso has
\| R3
# R4
DE ISO has
<> R3
# R4
So surely R4 should be #.
Personally I'd like <> R3. I'll make a stat of EU use of that if you need some hard numbers.
Gosh the nostalgia of this set now if we can just get approval to do a run for GMK Skull Squadron my life will be complete.

The baseline ISO compat that this set has is correct. R4 <> is an acceptable alternative, and it's up to the runner's preference whether they want to have R4 \| or <>, but in any case it's fine as is. You get duplicate legends either way; that's why it's baseline compatibility and not actual ISO-UK or ISO-DE.
That being said, I too prefer R4 <> over R4 \| and vote for it being in the set. R3 #~ most definitely shouldn't be in the set, though.
You've got your row numbers the wrong way around, by the way.

I think the R4-1.25U-novelties should be 8, so do the R4-1.5U, 6 I feel a bit strange.The R4 novelties are meant to replace super and menu keys in each particular mod color. It's not meant to fill out entire bottom row.
By the way, will there be plans to deskmat like carbon? I am so sad that I found a big scratch on my carbon deskmat.
Hey T0mb3ry, how about some R0 and R5 love in this drop??I would love to do that but let's see first how it goes with "traditional " rows...
would it be possible to add some kind of gas mask novelty in the style of the warning signs? fits the theme and would be dope af imo.

Oh dang, been hoping for this forever! Instabuy!
What is the history behind the Salt key?
Will we see an Asian proxy? Please say yes, and hopefully ilumkb. Also why no IC on Reddit for more traction?

Sorry to get OT, I just figured Skull Squadron was long gone, so this caught me off guard. And I can't delete my post. :-/
Hello OP, can you do something about the three identical \| R1 R3 R4 keys that ISO users find in their set? You could at least focus on losely approximating and existing ISO layout (with the keys already in your set, without adding anything)... thanksI already replied to you in this regard. The filler keys are fine. You will find such fillers in most keysets. Btw. R1 pipe key is for HHKB alike layout and not for ISO.

I don't know honestly. As i said i don't have a grip on vendors. All i do is kit design. And i improvise little bit with new novelties.
Would be interested to see what people think of using text+icon mods to keep in line with the original set.

This isn't constructive thinking :p
And about the HHKB layout... if someone makes it in ISO, don't you end up with three identical keys? :'(

It's a bit more complicated. Many non-US national layouts are happy to keep English legends for mods, with a few notable exceptions (German and both main Spanish layouts being the prime examples). The recent trend/fad of icons for mods covers the keys in the alpha block, but many sets forget to include the nav cluster and the supranav keys. To make things even worse, there's still some disagreement about what icons to use on certain keys (the Caps Lock being the worst battlefront in this regard, with three main options and even a marginal fourth one) and some keys don't even have a candidate icon that is generally recognized as such.
If it were for me, there would be a standardized set of icons (*) for each mod, and the differences between, say, a UK English keyboard and a German one, both with the same physical form factor and same set of keycaps, would be exclusively in the alphas. But we're still a long, long way from that.
(*) A good comparison would be traffic signals: they're standard, and every country has agreed to use the same set, so it doesn't matter if you are driving in, say, Hungary, if you come upon a red octagon, you'll know it means "STOP". In the same way, the symbol ⤉ would mean "Page Up" to everyone (even if in the local language is it's called "retroceder página" ("Ré Pag"), etcetera).

Sorry, I meant to say a standardized set of good icons.
my subjective gripe with both the GMK and SP non-icon-only mod legends is that they look non-uniform and the typeface is like some kind of comic sans (with SP being the worst IMHO). I really like the look of the gmk 9009 r3 style mod legends [1] mainly because they feel cohesive with the rest of the set.
[1] https://dixiemech.com/gmk9009r3
i hope this is not dead?
interested in the mods, but I think the kit have too many caps which people wont need. Maybe a few caps will reduce the price?
I would also prefer to see some icons on the Win caps, instead of "Toxic" text, as the kit is Icon-type (without legends). Some ISO users also prefer to have the "Alt Gr" caps but personally I can live without it. Here's some food for thought:Novelty keys do belong into novelty kit imo. And because we have here several kits there is also separated kit for novelties.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/GYQWTdT.jpg)
I personally don't like the win icon (even as windows user). And i don't want to make it OS specific. I can change it only to "Super" in case too many people dislike "Toxic". Keep in mind this is an OG Cherry Icon style which has the bottom row as text only (except for arrows).
It will stay Toxic

Am I missing something? Do the toxic mods need to include a mod colored backspace key? There is already one in the base kit.

In the toxic mods, insert home and page up are presumably left out for the same reason. Should a toxic colored pause key be in there?
Split bars? 2.25/2.75 could join forces with the 6u crowd for a kit? Or add em somewhere?

Just curious what does that mean exactly? Would you be adding more kits during the GB, depending on the numbers? Is that even practical, especially with GMK? But what do I know, just wondering :)

"Because the Group Buy will be organized by Originative" ...
As much as I love the design (those new novelties are especially killer), given how the SP and JTK Toxic runs have been handled, I will have to give it a miss so long as Originative or Bunnylake have any involvement in this.
It's definitely possible to add kits during the GB. And yes if the GB goes well then it's possible that we might consider to add 40% and a spacebar kit.
This will go over like a brick....You already complain that not enough 40's users buy into GBs to begin with, and then you want to play with the idea that you could add the kits Mid GB?
What a horrendous idea and one that shouldn't even be considered. Either run a 40's kit or don't. At this point, it looks like it's going to be the latter of the 2 options and that's how it should be. Especially considering you don't support certain 40's boards that take up a large portion of those users....
Also, if you just want to add ortho in the base, you just need 4 keys, not including a 2u bar.
R2: Out
R3: Data
R4: shift and enter
Currently Delta and Umbra have taken this approach, as will Copper when it launches.
40% belong into their specific kit and the base kit needs to support only basic layouts. I am staying by this rule. Again if toxic shows great numbers then we might look into introducing 40% kit and a spacebar kit - otherwise not.

Even as ortho user I agree. I dislike bloated base kits.
Honest question as I never ran any keyset ICs. What would be the reason for not offering a certain kit? I mean, you can always cancel it if it doesn't hit MOQ. What am I missing?
It's just the same as with ISO (international kit). It does hit its MOQ with specific amount of sold base kits. So it does not make sense to introduce that kit if say only 300 base kits are going to be sold. I can't predict how well GMK Toxic will sell and there are enough other group buys where people will have to make choice what to get.40% belong into their specific kit and the base kit needs to support only basic layouts.

Yes there is a relation between base kit (alphas for sa) and the amount of sold 40% kits. Its between 20 and 10 percent of sold base kits/alphas.It's just the same as with ISO (international kit).

I can't predict how well GMK Toxic will sell and there are enough other group buys where people will have to make choice what to get.
Is that really the case? MOQ of a child kit directly related to the MOQ of the base?
I kind of get your point, but I dislike the pessimistic approach - "this will probably not sell too well, so let's not even try". I realize there's some extra effort needed to put together the kits, but I'd expect it wouldn't be a problem for you as a seasoned set designer.
Anyway, I won't bug you any more. I just have a feeling that if 40s/ortho is not introduced right from the start it's not happening. But as you say, plenty of other sets to choose from...
Any thoughts on utilizing R5 in this drop? Completely slipped my mind to bring it up earlier. We need more R5 in GMK drops. Also any eta on GB start? May need to adjust my holiday shopping plans accordingly.
We looking at a GB soon?

Seems a bit arrogant to deny a whole group of users compat over an extra $2. If "basic" layouts is the goal, there sure are a whole lot of other keys.

Another group of users could also come here and ask me for a few keys to support their specific layout and if i don't do that then call me out as "arrogant".
I have to make decisions and i surely will never be able to please everyone.

I think there was a JTK Toxic, wasn't there?

There are also new keycap designs in this run created by OP though he's a bit conservative to offer things like 40s kit that he never has every offered in his other runs.

GMK Eclipse, SA Carbon, and SA Yuri had 40s kits.

Right, there was a JTK Toxic and people can still get it from Originative - for a much cheaper price. But perhaps people like premium products with premium price tag and here comes GMK Toxic.
For me I want this kit for better layout compatibility, than the JTK Toxic kit.
The first Toxic kit was produced by Signature Plastic and the design was inspired by the TV series "Breaking Bad" I believe - that was a long time ago. That DCS kit has a lot to offer but not many people, including me likes the thin ABS plastic of DCS profile.
To say this IC is a "knock-off" is not true. "Knock-off" means an imitation product trying to prevent to be something, but it is not: e.g. "That piece of **** isn’t a Rolex, it’s a knock off"
GMK Toxic is GMK and is with the Toxic design.
It is a different project and OP has communicated with the people from the previous two Toxic kit runs - so it is not "stealing a design" so as to say.

Looks like I'm too late to make my usual request for the 1.25u R3 key for 40s support. Maybe there's still time? Either way this was always a great keyset, not sure I can join but good luck with the GB all the same.
Update
Desolator kit
- Added salty keys
- Added US Ansi enter novelty. Obviously the ISO enter looks here better but it is how it is.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/HqYuSdb.png)Any possibility of another alpha kit with dual [Latin/JP] sublegends? Toxic => Radiation => Japan (from Godzilla lore to Fukushima leaks)
Pardon but weeb legends are extremely overused and Toxic is def not about Japan. It does not match it in any way.
In that dude's defence, he didn't call this a knockoff.Ahhh ok. I ask because i have seen many toxic kits for sale. Is that knockoffs or a diff project?Did the desolator kit not happen?

Just want to share with you little bit information regarding the upcoming GB and vendors.
GB will be held in December
Vendors:
- US: Originative
- EU: MyKeyboard
- China: ZFrontier
-snip-
Running this in December is suicide. Waiting till January (like Nord) might be wise unless you want to become the keyset designer equivalent of Van Goh (whose work was hard to sell in his own lifetime (group buy duration), but later collectors (mechmarket flippers lmao) made tidy sums of money selling it later once people began to appreciate it).I agree. I would love to join this set but December is such a bad month.
Currently a number of November buys have been struggling (Umbra and Yugo for example are both solid sets that have been struggling while Sparta got shelved completely) and this colorway deserves a fighting chance and a hyped launch.

december 2019 right? right? :-X
T0mb3ry,
Would you be opposed to the 40s discord running a kit to compliment this set?
Also I'd love to chat sometime if you're open to it. I think a lot of things went down poorly during the kickstarter. We've never had a chance to discuss what happened. My intent was never to create ripoff sets. The mix and max tool was just to show the flexibility of the sets and that they could be used together. Steven showed poor judgement rendering some of the mix and match combos which had strong resemblances to existing sets.
I'm sorry for how that was handled and presented to the community. I sincerely hope that we can put this event behind us. Whatever decisions you make regarding kitting I will respect.
Again, I'm sorry for how things were handled. I'm sorry Steven rendered up combinations that could be confused with the real sets. I'm sorry for allowing things to spiral as much as they did.
Best of luck with this set and your future endeavors.

That's right. I'll close the IC thread and open GB thread once vendors start the offer.
