GMK CYL Beloved
Re-run of GMK KA2017.
A little backstory. When I first started in the hobby, my girlfriend didn't want me to spend money on keyboards. She'd beat my ass every time she caught me, and yet I still do it. So I decided to lure her into the hobby by showing her cute artisans, keycaps, boards then I showed her this set and she loved it. She really wanted it, but it was very expensive. So we just gave up on getting it. Around 3 months later I contacted OG runner and finally got he/she permission. I had intended to post an IC on Valentine's Day, but I was too busy and didn't have time. My gf will be very happy that I do this, so I can spend more money on keyboards hehe.

My friend lent me his KA2017 to replicate the novelties, but unfortunately he lost a key.
Thanks to trungminhtp, he sent me a picture of his set. So I can draw it more accurately.

(6u and Alice bars are not included. I just like how it looks on boards, but you can find them easily from GMK BOW.)

Deskmat
Buy from vendors or download and make it yourself. I don't give a damn.

Please consider a NorDeUK kit, please. I'd ask for ISO-UK but you've already declined that. I can't force it but please consider that it might help sales of this set (which I think is really very cute) to UK & EU customers who'd just like to enjoy the simple pleasure of the right legends.

Just do a [IWK] WS1 6u spacebar.  ;D

Kinda missing 3key though. Kokaloo why don’t you lobby for 40s more energetically here?  :'(

terminal iso is included in base. uk iso takes up too much space.  :thumb:

Too much space, yet we have room for an extra B key incase i lose mine down the drain  and possibly hangul based on the IC? oh and baby space bars.

That being said i am aware numbers of units sold are low especially in eu/uk in general but this has been a consistent trend for a while.

Just would be nice for people to remember non americans may want their keycaps to match.

Extra B and spacebars are used for Alice-type layouts and all kinds of split spacebar shenanigans. These 2 are definitely more popular than UK ISO.

As a "non-American", I am happy with the kit. Regional support just isn't realistic on every set.
