Still no 75% compatibility? Will the renders updated later?
Yes, was waiting a couple days for reactions to the proposed changes from the last page before I sent a list to GMK.
Keep in mind that renders from GMK often take a while, even when there is an existing render to work from.
CODE or blank are my preference.
For the HHKB layout, split right shift is kinda necessary.
The split right shift is already in there - that's not changing. Lots of layouts need that key. The question on the last page was just whether to add the other HHKB-specific keys for which there's already an appropriate size/profile key - e.g. having a 1.5u r2 backspace when the pipe/backslash key exists. I will be adding a 1u R4 fn key, though.
- Winkey - I also don't like the Win10 logo, but I think it is one of those things where a small percentage really object to it while most others are neutral or mildly in favor. Informal poll: would people prefer Win10, Win98, a custom logo (e.g. stylized pine tree - extra cost for custom mold), CODE, or blank?
Personally I have nothing against the win 10 logo, I'd just like a custom molded Pinecone (or something similar) as an eyecatcher, just like the "cha" character was for Green Tea. Pad printed would be okay too, as long as it (the pad-printing) has a different colour than the other mods, as the different states of decay on my OG skidata look horrible.
(Ctrl will likely stay the same - just personal preference, unless more folks would prefer the full Control)
I actually prefer Control as well, at least for cherry-profile. It is no big deal for me though.
I know it's a long shot, but maybe you could include both, the excess one can be used on (Sky) Dolch .
- How would folks feel about losing the green-primary arrows
Do not care, as I'll use it on a 60% keyboard anyway
"dolch-lite with bright green uniform legends"
I feel like we need an own GB for that, as it sounds delicious, but very different to the current render (which looks great also)
Thanks for this post, appreciate the feedback. I also like using winkey for custom set logos, it's just a cost question. It's something we'll investigate. I'm a little resistant to pad printing it for the decay reasons you state - I have a pad-printed GMK cyrillic set that is showing significant wear after not a ton of use - but if it's cheap enough, we could have a pad printed logo win key along with the normal doubleshot windows-logo one.
Sounds like most are in favor of Control with few agreeing w/ my Ctrl preference, so that'll change too.
I am curious for more feedback on the arrow color question from those who'll be using the set w/ the arrow keys. Personally, I prefer the N7/AE arrows over the N7/N9 ones, but it feels odd having that few non-alpha keys in the alpha colorway.
Yea, that would be something to do in another IC. FWIW, I'd buy the crap out of that set.
