While In the past few years some ortho sets may have had trouble reaching MOQ, I can't say I've seen a single run that hasn't hit its MOQ for Ortho/40% in recent GB's.
Ortho has a big following now.
I do Like a lot of these "Mix and Match" add-on options that have been popping up though. Lets people make there ideal set/colorway without blowing big $$$.
Basically what I'm saying is...I'd be in on this if it gets to GB. :thumb:
I'd be interested if it got expanded. You can't cater to all layouts, but it would be nice if there was an R3 tab and an additional R4 shift.
Two R4 1.5 keys would also cater to Corne, Atreus, etc.
I am also thinking full icon mods would be flexible when used with weeb alphas, often sold separately, allowing to skip an expensive base kit.
I joined the GMK blank GB for N9 mods, but they didn't make MOQ on Corne thumb keys, so I went with CR instead. Depending on the price I would be in for this.
Plenty of people can pick up terminal, eclipse, SkIIdata, GMK nines, etc and add these in for ortho without a jarring color difference too.
Cool idea
I’d be in if the legend color was CP but not for WS1. The original Ivan dolch as well as Kekkon’s re-run (which I’d personally want to pair these with) both used CP, while WS1 was used by Originative on their version of dolch.
Yes this is great. I'm in the GMK Blanks buy for N9 1Us, but even though I'd be in for legended mods.
I'd maybe consider CP rather than WS1 as I think it'll go with more kits, WS1 is very white.
Does it really need tilde and backslash keys, don't most GMK kits come with these already? Feels like not many people would want/need/use these keys but I could be wrong.
An R4 "command" or "super" and/or "fn" key would be nice to give Mac users a 3rd modifier and to give people a few more options with their layer keys.

I'll be doing a secondary form in a day or two to decide the legend colour along with some extra keys to add.
As for the tilde and backslash keys, though they are in the GMK sets many would prefer to have their whole outer layer of keys all the same colour; it's just a lot more satisfying.
Any chance for two 2U spacebars?Had someone on reddit ask me about that too. I’ll make a poll in a day or two about that among other things.
Another vote for 2 2u space bars!
Also I missed the GMK blanks GB, so would not mind if there is a blank ortho version of this.
Are all Row 4 blanks convex "spacebars"?Yeah, I’ll update the picture later to show that.
Interested based on price since I already have a ton of blanks ordered for this exact thing.
Maybe a less-white white would be more applicable here. Something like CP.Check the poll I posted. Currently it’s 70% voting for CP, 30% for WS1 - looking like it’ll change to that.
Wow, this is progressing really fast, nice one, it's looking really nice now.
Question: I don't know what options GMK have for ortho keys, but are you set on having text + icons on tab and enter keys, while just text on the others? I'm not against it, just wondered what the rational was?
However, less than a third wanted the two 1.5u keys so I likely will not add them for the time being to keep the price down.

That's too bad. I guess I'm out. GL with GB.
Im in!What would that add compatibility for?
Can we get a R3 CAPS and R2 backslash?

As for R3 Caps? Who actually uses dedicated caps on any layout, let alone ortho?

My thoughts exactly. The truth is, if there exists a layout, somebody somewhere will be using it... But it's not realistic to support all of them.

Is it possible to have 4x R4 keys which aren't nav arrows? Non-default planck layouts & the atreus for example don't have arrows on the lower right side.Sorry - i don’t think I’m adding any more keys to the set. I want to keep it as affordable as possible and there’s already a decent amount of extra stuff :/

There's already 11 non arrow keys for R4 which should be enough.
...mix and match from multiple sets. I hope this becomes reality.
I registered just to say how useful this would be. I've just spent a couple days looking for ortho cherry profile sets and it's frustrating how you're forced to'mix and match from multiple sets. I hope this becomes reality.Thanks!

I hear ya.
Currently am excited about combining this kit with GMK Oblivion V2 Hagoromo. :)

While you’re at it why not do ergo too?

Can't wait for this. Any update?
Any update? Just can't wait anymore :(
Is it too late to ask for a r3 Ctrl? Also looking forward to GB. Hope it can come soon :thumb:
Is there an alternate option to an NA proxy vendor?
Edit: I approve keeb.io.

Does he know? He doesn't usually do pre-orders let alone proxy GBs.
I would assume Jack wouldn't take this on without having his shipping lined up, Rev. 6.x PCB troubles aside.
If I can score another set of OG Cherry POS alphas I'll definitely be in.
As a regular ortho user, I have to say: That is one opinionated ortho layout. You guys actually put the Enter key in the right Shift location?
Weird.

Weird.
The point is, if I want keycaps with incorrect legends, I might as well stick to all the 1u keys in other Base + Novelties kit.As a regular ortho user, I have to say: That is one opinionated ortho layout. You guys actually put the Enter key in the right Shift location?

there's an R3 and R4 enter, what more would you have liked? you can put these keycaps anywhere on your ortho board, it doesn't have to be exactly as in the renders - that's why there are many duplicate keys in different rows.

I understand you guys want to keep the cost down, but this kinda defeat the point of an ortho-only set.
Anyway, what I’d prefer is something like this (without the alphas of course):Show Image(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1473/3902/files/HTB1._zWazzuK1RjSspeq6ziHVXa7.jpg?v=1547264001)
As a regular ortho user, I have to say: That is one opinionated ortho layout. You guys actually put the Enter key in the right Shift location?Say what...? As far as my limited otrho knowledge goes, that's the standard location for the Enter. That's where I always had it on my Preonic and an accented R4 1u Enter was included in all GMK ortho sets I have.
Weird.

I use full grid layout, so right below 'B', next to Spacebar.As a regular ortho user, I have to say: That is one opinionated ortho layout. You guys actually put the Enter key in the right Shift location?

This is quite a common plank/preonic layout. For the 12X4 or 12X5 at least. Well, i've been putting the enter there ever since I've started using orthos. Where do you put your enter key?
Edit: and what's your regular 'ortho'?

Because, you know, thumb keys and all that.

So which row would that be in GMK profile?

lol I love the keyboard community. All the nepotism and superiority. Everyone is an OG and if you don’t agree get off the forum attitude. Anyways did this ever Happen? Will it happen if not? Isn’t summer over?
I'm convinced the guy is just an elaborate troll.
Is it too late to add a 1u r3 Ctrl or ambiguous legend like Data or Read (both molds exist) to the kit?
Thanks for considering!
PS: GMK does allow multiple quotes up to a certain limit.

Unfortunately it's too late - earlier on in the ic I had several polls for extra keys to add to the set and this didn't come up :/
However the GB date is now set for September 12th and will run for a month until October 12th ;D
