Really interested in this set. Any update? I wonder what it would look like to have the mod keys' colors flipped.. i.e. black legends on a red background
Riding on this idea. Maybe one with Alphas that are flipped ie black on red. Might not meet GMK MOQ however.

Looks great. But no split spacebar?
I think split spacebar is a thing right now.
YAS62, Banana Split, M-65, Exent, etc.
Maybe should consider it?

Just a thought, but would you consider having a platform-agnostic key (R4 1.25u) to use in place of the Windows logo keys (e.g. "CODE")? Then again, the novelty R4 1.25u keys can be used to address this for anyone that doesn't want to use a Windows key.

Also, nice work so far on working out the concept for this set -- it's looking good.

This looks great. How about a special ESC button that can be purchased extra? Maybe a little flame?

Would be great to see this come live.

I'm definitely interested, but I hope this doesn't happen for a bit. There are already like 5 GMK sets coming in the next month or two that I really want. I'm not sure my wallet can handle it :P

HELL YES!! Stoked this is coming sooner rather than later! I have a few suggestions:

I would love to see some OS agnostic modifier keys.. GMK Nautilus has the text 'Code' which could look great! Having the novelties suffices but breaks the sort of text to icon ratio in my opinion.. The same goes with the 'List' icon, I would prefer the word 'Fn' as it would look cleaner imo, and would stay consistent with the R4 1u key

I posted my thoughts in the google form, but figured I might as well post them here as well to see what others think.  Set is good overall, but personally I'd rather see "Delete" or "Backspace" for the R2 1.5u BS key rather than the chunky x-in-block icon since the rest of the mods have text (or if you want an icon, just the simple left arrow).  Also I think it'd be good to add 6u bars, though you'd need to decide on center stem or offset since GMK has both now (if it increases the cost too much, could just make a spacebar kit for the accent bars like other sets do).  And finally, going back to the modifier thing, given that the mods are text I think something like "Code" would look nicer than the windows logo.


edit: just realized I basically said this early in the thread already, oh well

Nice suggestions. I agree with you, I think having a mix between icon and text modifiers looks a little inconsistent

The set will be using icon mods (I've asked Ryu multiple times), so it'll blend in. I believe he is waiting for updated renders from GMK.

Actually prefer the backspace as is, fits the set well with the legend color

V1 is nice, a bit of an orange tint, but also more vibrant than P3.

I believe it's the same color usually used in the RGB mods.

This should help give you some idea what it will look like. I'm not sure if the legends are V1 or P3, looks like it may actually be V1 (the red esc is P3, the red control keys are V1). The biggest difference is the caps are grey not black (spacebar is black).

The V1 actually looks much better in the photos then it did in the render. That's a tough call though; the V1 pops a lot more with the grey being used, but you do notice that orange tint when you stare, lol.

Having both V1 and P3 caps on hand, P3 is the superior choice for this set.

Key clack dropped me. To busy with other things to run more GB at the moment. Go support Stranger Keys and Led Zep.

If people really want this set and don't want the others listed above, I might be willing to run the GB myself but only if I can garner up enough interest to make it worth my time and effort.
