Hi all,
With my current project soon moving out of my hands I am starting to gauge interest for something I’ve been wanting for quite a while. There won’t be a lengthy explanation as to why I chose this theme - I just like it; having been surrounded by nordic design since I was young I’ve grown quite fond of this dark navy colour. This is the first full keyset I’ve designed so I’m keeping it nice and simple with just 2 kits and an uncontroversial colour scheme.
GMK Deep Navy is a sleek and professional keyset featuring custom dark navy keys with WS1 legends.
Base:
The base kit provides compatibility for 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, 1800 and full-size boards, with support for ISO. Accent keys are included for those who want to bring a bit of flare to their board.

Addition:
A spacebars kit with 40% and Alice-layout compatibility.

I recommend you take a look at the renders on a computer screen as phone screens boost contrast especially on darker colours, making this seem a lot more dark than intended.

Hey everyone, please view on a computer screen, not your phone. Many phone displays these days are AMOLED which boost contrast and makes this appear much darker. :)Looks black to me.
In b4 "looks black to me"
Will find it in my PC - but so far I like the concept :)
Edit: Expecting a very dark Cypher, this may be a nice pairing. Good luck! :)

Also, ISO terminal style: good! (but delete the tertiary legend (*) from the R4 <> key, as it looks weird as the only one in the entire board)
(*) I can't believe I'm advocating taking a tertiary legend out, but that's what things have come to.

Hopefully we get a similar green version one day. Nothing wrong with people getting inspired and coming up with more good ideas, even if they're similar to previously existing ideas.
Post by: ttom on Thu, 30 January 2020, 13:57:57
I've received a lot of good feedback on discord too, however one thing that quite a few people have said is that the colour looks a little too dark on phone, so as Abec said I strongly advise looking at it on your computer screen instead since the colour on there is just as I want it. I added a picture of 282C with GMK WS1 to the main body of the post.
Here's a quick comparison of 282C and GMK CR:

I don't game, so they wear relatively evenly via typing. Shift and space get the most shine on them. But you're right, they'll never wear evenly. Part of the 'patina' of a keyboard for me. Though, I also don't intend to resell them.Just makes them unsellable honestly. Maybe if they shined equally. But no one is going to sell/trade for some heavily worn wasd keys. Haha.

Or heck. Give me a way to evenly shine a board.you can manually sand and polish keycaps to make them all evenly shiny and smooth, some guy on r/customkeyboards did it and it looks pretty damn good imo
also, love the keyset, simple color combo but it works so well. definitely going to be watching this set closely.

Could you add two 1.5u Code and two 1u Alt keys to the base for tsangan compat for users the prefer GUI next to the spacebar? Similar to what GMK Wavez did.

Second. I'm a little surprised at how few GMK sets provide this setup.
If this is included somehow, I'm 100% in. Even if there's 1.5u novelties…

What I don't care for is the white accent keys. I would prefer something more muted, but a custom color would drive up the price, something that's not ideal for a simple set. Have you tried grey accent instead? Kind of ties in on the nordic design thing. If the accent keys don't drive up the price too much either way then it's not a big deal, I just won't use them.
I love that you implemented simple 40s support in base. Personally I'd want ISO and numpad seperated (especially if you add UK ISO), but I can also see how you'd want to keep things simple. If not then I'd really like a slimmed spacebar kit to be implemented in base (I'd personally only need 2.25 and 2.75, but have no insight on how popular the other bars are). Extra B would be a nice option in base, but not a huge deal.
Either way you have my full support. :thumb:

+1 for this... will buy it either way since it's perfect color in my opinion, but would like to be able to have correct legends on mac setup.
Also, please leave the white accents...

Love the concept. I think it would actually go nicely with a white case. Would appreciate a render for that :)Would also love a grey case render! Black is probably the most difficult option to actually see the keys, haha.
Post by: ttom on Fri, 31 January 2020, 08:11:29
Based on the feedback I've received, I've made a couple changes to the base kit:
- kept the same ISO support but changed the legends
- added 2x 1.5u code and 1x 1u alt (1 of the alts was already there)
For now I'm keeping the basic 40s support but I'm considering getting rid of it. Besides that, I'm pretty happy with kitting. As for renders, I'll commission some more soon - not sure what boards I'd want right now so I'm open to hearing suggestions. Finally, it may be early but if any vendors are interested in running this feel free to get in touch :D

- Add R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn. These are popular options for the right column on 65% and 75% boards.

I like the Pantone you picked. Two suggestions for the base kit:
- Add R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn. These are popular options for the right column on 65% and 75% boards.
- Change R3 1u #~ to \|. If you add full ISO-UK support, #~ is fine, but otherwise stick to \|.
I'm very conflicted on this. I personally prefer \| as the R3 legend but when I asked around it seemed more people preferred two different legends.
As for the PgUp and PgDn keys, I'll probably pass on those. The base kit is already fairly big and it's already pretty standard compatibility for 65% and 75% boards.
Haven't posted on this forum in probably years. This the first thing I'm 100% in on in a long time. Beautiful
Looks REALLY good!

Accent arrows are a big maybe right now, but I'm swaying towards not adding them. Also on the topic of accents, I'm going to be sticking to WS1 to keep it nice and simple.

I'm very conflicted on this. I personally prefer \| as the R3 legend but when I asked around it seemed more people preferred two different legends.
If having different legends is why you opted to go with the out-of-place #~, then just have \| on R3 and <> on R4. This is one of the standard options for US ISO.
As for the PgUp and PgDn keys, I'll probably pass on those. The base kit is already fairly big and it's already pretty standard compatibility for 65% and 75% boards.
Keep in mind that most new sets (incomplete list here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102663.msg2815955#msg2815955)) opt to include these keys, while less than half of them include 2× 1.5u Code and an extra 1u Alt like you have here.

If avoiding adding too many keys is a factor AND "the other side" is okay with partial English (UK) support, you could go with the "appeasement" route, as is being done in GMK Copper: have three alpha keys instead of two: R4 \| (common to both options), R3 \| (English (USA)) and R3 #~ (English (UK)).

I know this is potentially a long way off, but I got 3 vendors to work with me on this project:
EU: mykeyboard.eu
OCE: dailyclack.com
CA: deskhero.ca
Still looking for a North American vendor, so do send me a message if you're interested (more active on discord, *tom#1646).
Next, I've made a couple revisions to the kit based on feedback I've received. For now, no 40s in base because I'd rather have full support than something very minimal. This kit design isn't by any means final but it's what I'm considering doing right now - of course this could change with what a vendor wants to run.

There are 3 ways this receives 40s support:
- more interest, meaning I'm more comfortable having a less popular child kit with this
- a vendor coming on board that wants a 40s kit and is happy to buy it out
- 40s being incorporated into the base (à la Finer Things)
The reason I'm not doing the last one is because I don't think that there is enough 40s love to justify everyone else having to spend more to have that many redundant keys in the base. Then again, I may be wrong. But this is how it's looking right now.

Ah, thanks a lot! I never think about the "US ISO" and most of the time you see either full ISO-UK support with additional keys for the number row in the base kit or the mixture I have described.
But tbh I'm even fine with the current direction as long as I get ISO support at all, since ISO-UK isn't my national layout either.

Good updates. A few more things for your consideration, though not a must by any means: R4 numpad 00, R1 numpad =, System and Sys instead of Code (cause, let's be honest, Code makes no sense).

'course it doesn't. It should be "Code" on the leftside mod and "Decode" on the rightside mod. :cool:

What's up with the R4 <>-key when there are already the two separate < and > keys in R4?
Shouldn't the R3 \|-key be in R4 and keys for @, and #~ be in R3 for basic ISO(-UK) support?
At least that's what most base kits provide for basic ISO support if I'm not mistaken.
As someone else explained, it's for US ISO. I wanted basic ISO compatibility and this is the best way to get that while providing for a full layout. For anyone that's interested, the reason I didn't add the tertiary legend that's sometimes included is because in my opinion it doesn't really make sense with everything else being dual legends.

Appreciated. Probably will pass on those though.
There are 3 ways this receives 40s support:
- more interest, meaning I'm more comfortable having a less popular child kit with this
I’d be all for a separate 40s child kit
so potential for a 40s kit separate?
There are 3 ways this receives 40s support:
- more interest, meaning I'm more comfortable having a less popular child kit with this
- a vendor coming on board that wants a 40s kit and is happy to buy it out
- 40s being incorporated into the base (à la Finer Things)
The reason I'm not doing the last one is because I don't think that there is enough 40s love to justify everyone else having to spend more to have that many redundant keys in the base. Then again, I may be wrong. But this is how it's looking right now.
well at least it looks like ill be saving some money then lol
40s still in consideration. Trying to think of a creative way to add support but I might elect to go for a separate child kit still.

is separating out numpad a consideration? would be very interested if base kit was more stripped down
Possibly - it's early days. If I did do that though I'd do NumISO but nothing is final.

I have the other perspective on numpad support. Would be more likely to purchase a comprehensive base kit than spend on several child kits. Maybe like Burgundy R3.
I'm leaning towards this

I'm fully aware the colour looks a bit different to abec's renders - the lighting is pretty bright on these. I am very happy with how they turned out though - we had to play around with the colour for quite a bit to get what I was looking for.

Super intrested!
good to hear!
I may try to do a small run of this in SP SA through dixie's fulfilment services (MOQ is typically much lower) before a GMK run, wondering if there would be any interest for something like this? Just one kit with decent compatibility, nothing crazy.
Also, gauging interest in a couple changes to the spacebars kit:

I know this is potentially a long way off, but I got 3 vendors to work with me on this project:
EU: mykeyboard.eu
OCE: dailyclack.com

Still looking for a North American vendor, so do send me a message if you're interested (more active on discord, *tom#1646).

SA Deep Navy is very interesting to me. Where can I follow along for details aside from the GH thread?
Yes. I’d be stoked for a small run in the very near future.
I ordered some chips from SP last week so I'll get a quote once I've decided on the colours. If I do run it, expect a single minimal base kit (see magic city; reached out for quotes with a larger kit and the price is way too high for my liking)
Still unsure of whether I think this has enough interest to run but I'll do a small kit update regardless in the coming few days. Pretty busy with life and some other projects right now so I haven't managed to devote all that much time / resources into this yet.

By the way, GMK set has quite a few of interest from Korean community. It gets possitive feedback with Base kit's components.
Post by: ttom on Thu, 27 February 2020, 07:27:32
made some changes to the kits.
base:
- changed 'code' to 'super'
- removed some bottom row mods
addition:
- removed all the spacebars shorter than 2u
- added b
- added staggered 40s compat
base changes:
code to super is a trend I'm seeing a lot more and though I'm pretty impartial myself, super makes more sense. I know some people may be happy about the bottom row mods but I didn't think they'd be necessary when it's already such a large base kit. If I do get a vendor that wants to split numiso then these might make a return in a tkl base kit.
for the addition changes:
of course it used to be called 'spacebars'. I didn't think this was as fitting anymore given how it now is also a 40s compatibility kit. as for the keys, these three give proper compatibility to a large number of layouts, and barely change the cost. some people elect to put 'b' in base, and I originally planned on having the 40s keys there but if you use any of those you'll most likely prefer to have the correct spacebars, so this makes much more sense.
also abec changed the shade of navy on the iron 165, should make it clearer to see the set now

- changed 'code' to 'super'
Glad to hear this. Code has never made much logical sense to me; it's pretty much an unfortunate circumstance how it came to be used as an OS key legend with the early GMK TA sets; and it looks worse too, as you get two capital C's next to each other with it sitting next to Control. Super is a better choice all around in my book.
That being said, I'm going to keep advocating for the System key, as I think it makes for an even better choice than Super. :P Whereas the name Super corresponds to what the key does on just *nix systems, System is a more generic legend that makes sense across any OS. Moreover, I think the Sys variant for 1u keys looks better than 1u Super since the legend is not as cramped on the key (from what I've seen, this is one of the main reasons why some people prefer Code over Super). With System/Sys you get the benefits of both and the drawbacks of neither. This is why we opted to help produce the System mold for GMK Yugo instead of going with Super.

This is looking really great
Love the dark blue.

I ordered some colour chips a couple weeks ago to get an idea of stock colours that could work. I'm attaching a picture of them below though my camera isn't very colour accurate. I think I'd rather pursue this in GMK first and then after I could consider my options with SA (though I'd still like to do this). My initial thoughts are WFK/WA on BBI.

And excuse my naivety but are those slight shades of ws1? Cause ws1 was one of the reasons I found this set interesting. To match mods and alphas with other ws1 sets.
Post by: ttom on Sun, 15 March 2020, 11:13:02
Hmm. Could just be the photo. But I expected it to be darker. Like close to black. Realise a lot of it is renders but I feel like the blue of Kat Atlantis was more deep navy than those.
And excuse my naivety but are those slight shades of ws1? Cause ws1 was one of the reasons I found this set interesting. To match mods and alphas with other ws1 sets.
I’ll make sure it is just right for the GMK run, and will soon be ordering a colour chip for this purpose. Those are SP ABS chips, and the whites are just the three closest shades of white to WS1 that I saw when previewing the colours on their web page, so I ordered them. Also, the picture isn’t very colour accurate and makes the chips looks a whole lot warmer than they do in reality.
For GMK I’ll be doing a lot of colour sampling to make sure I have the perfect shade matching the renders so no need to worry about that, and the WS1 will stay as it is.

I think as dark as possible for the navy is where this set will really shine.I think so too - I didn’t mean to give any wrong ideas with those colour chips. They were the darkest blue offerings SP had for SA so that’s what I ordered. As I said, I’ll stay true to the renders for GMK, and will do extensive colour matching if needed to make sure it’s the exact colour I intended it to be.

First off, I've updated the addition kit to include basic ortho support:

I've also found a North American vendor who will be announced soon, and we've reached out for quotes with these current kits. I've ordered a Pantone chip too but this may have to wait with my proxy in America for the time being given how we just went into full lockdown yesterday. No GB date as of yet but expect late Q2 / early Q3.
In the meantime, I added some stunning renders by Abec on his new board, the Adélie to the main post.

Firstly, I'm very happy to announce that this set will run on CannonKeys this May!
Pricing: will update this once I have pricing from all my proxies.
Artisans: have reached out to a prominent artisan maker in the community, will show what we come up with here when I can.
Deskmat: working with someone with some very good past work for this + packaging for the set.
Pantone chip: ordered 2 day shipping to my proxy in NA, but that's now been delayed to around 3-4 weeks. Will update here once I get my hands on it.
Also have some more renders on the way from Abec :thumb:

This'll be in the new packaging. Don't get your hopes up for more sets in the old trays.
as someone already said this, I'm also NOT buying any sets this year, EXCEPT this one :) can't wait... will be buying both kits.

GMK Rudy looked somewhat like this but with what I believe is a lighter blue . It may not be the same dark navy, but someone out there ordered Rudy and Dark alphas and would sell just the light alphas...

I'm not really a fan of accent arrows and the current kitting won't have them, but I guess I could try adding them if we reached a higher MOQ than what this is priced at. No promises on something like that right now though - that's something for later.

Accent arrows suit the 7v, Sat75, and Evolv type layouts with accented spacebars and knobs to match. Mainly boards with separated arrow keys (65% included). On other boards they are harder to fit in.

I'm a fan of accent ESC + Arrows on 65% boards without the accented Enter key. It's all just personal preference in the end tho.

I feel the same about 65% boards and accents.

Would it be a good idea to change out the icon modifiers in regards of the reported QC issues on WoB extension?
Icons won't be changing here. There are a least a dozen GMK sets getting produced before this with icons so if it wasn't an isolated incident with WoB/BoW (which I suspect it was) I'm hoping it'll be fixed by then.

It also happened with WoB Hiragana, fyi. But yeah, not jumping to conclusions is the right thing to do.

Re: Icons
Seeing the most recent response from GMK regarding this issue I have high hopes for this set. On the off-chance that any issues would occur, I’m pretty confident they’d be fixed anyway. Statement from GMK’s CEO is in this thread:

So excited for this. Really tempted to get this as my first set, just need a good board to go with it

I think this set works with pretty much every neutral colour. Some good options in GB right now are the 7V, Decent65 and Prophet :)

Love this set, sadly there is no Norde keyset :(Though this is something I would’ve liked to include it wouldn’t have been feasible. I think physical ISO is a must, however it’s unfair to favour one type of European layout over an other beyond that.
A massive ISO kit would be the only one I’d ever consider doing, but unless the set does very good numbers (1K+) I wouldn’t expect it to hit 50 MOQ, and I don’t think this set will go into that region.

Since there will be no Norde set i Will specifically buy minimall norde set to combine. Will possibly screw with the looks with a chance of being uniqe at least haha

that works too haha, curious to see how it turns out
So ready for this set... can't wait to match it with Savage65 later this month. TBH the price for the full base set sealed the deal for me... can't wait!
I haven't bought a keycap set since GMK Space Cadet's GB but I am 100% all in on this. Thinking the Space Cadet alphas might look good with the Deep Navy mods as well. All will pair well with my future blue 7V...
thanks <3 love seeing comments like these.
added deskmat prices, pending zfrontier but will add those once i get them
