[IC] GMK CYL OG Extensions | GB July 15 - Aug 12
« on: Fri, 29 March 2024, 23:02:54 »
GMK CYL OG Extensions
   

GB CONFIRMED - July 15 to August 12

This is my first IC, please use lube.
Looking to gauge interest and obtain feedback on kitting.


Why?

My goal with these kits is to extend the usefulness of GMK sets like Hineybeige and Dolch R5 for keyboard layouts where you might prefer a less aggressive bottom row profile, particularly those with winkeys.

If you love beige and dolch sets (like me) but prefer a R4 bottom row for non-TKL layouts like 60, 65, 1800, etc., then this is the extension kit for you. 

Also taking the opportunity to offer 1.5 super and 1u alt keys, for HHKB enjoyers.


R4 Kit








Macros Kit








Colours
Beige Kits:
GMK U9/L9 / CR

Dolch Kits:
GMK N9/CC / CP

WoB Kits:
GMK CR / WS1

Note: Windows and Menu keys will be manufactured in UV-print

Pricing & Vendors
Pricing:
R4 kit ~$45 USD
Macro kit ~$30 USD

Vendors:
Daily Clack - OCE
NovelKeys - NA
Oblotzky Industries - EU
Prototypist - UK
zFrontier - CN/SEA
Sandkeys - Middle East

Board Renders


Daal by Ankit


Cypher by Cable Car Designs


Seis Cero by Daji


Oku by NRD


Fossil by Carolina Mech




Big Thanks
Pensa (renders and general good looks)
Ankit, V, RadarNois (guidance and general good looks)

Yes! Enough people have requested this to make it viable. See change log.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.
| hhkb bt

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.
| m0115

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.
| praxis
More
gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.
| camo filco
More
stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Stoked to have so much feedback already, thank you all!

Likely changes at this stage:
- Include a WoB kit
- Replace one 1.5 and 1.25 alt key with alt gr keys

Keep the responses coming  :thumb:

We've come full circle from R5 kits to R4 kits! :p Not really up my alley since I prefer R5 personally, but I do see the demand for this as there has been a good bit of GMK sets sold recently that had just R5 bottom rows. GLWIC! :thumb:

Happy to share this project looks to be moving forward  :thumb:

Some kitting updates based on further community feedback and discussion with vendors (FAQ updated):
- WoB kit won't be included unfortunately; we're going back to the original plan of beige and dolch kits only.
- Hangul control and alt keys will likely be included in 1.5u (beige and dolch). Loads of people asked for this. Awaiting updated quote from GMK.

add a separate full kit of icon mods while you are at it. ;D

both beige and dolch icon mod kits are super hard and expensive to acquire. for beige it is 9009 R1 (2016) and for dolch it is Dolch R1 (2014) and Burgundy R1 (2017) that last had icon mods (with xbox backspace)

imo icon mods are also part of OG history. so would definitely fit the theme of this set!

Probably asking a bit much from where this ideal started so I doubt it. Although this is also a great ideal, might even be something that could run on its own merit TBH.
