Title: [IC] GMK Shaded - A simple BoG/GoB keyset with Modi addons - Revised Kitting!
Post by: Chippy on Wed, 23 April 2025, 11:31:39
GMK Shaded
(https://i.imgur.com/jha4x0c.png)
A simple BoG/GoB GMK keyset with optional Modi addons.

Background
For years I have wanted a Black on Gray/Gray on Black GMK set with text + icon legends and a colored mod addon kit. It's honestly that simple. 2+ years of dwelling and a couple DM threads with some awesome people in the community later and here I am. Modi is coming back to GMK in two different colorways, and I finally get my dream set into IC.

Colors
• Black - CR
• Gray - N9
• Magenta - MG1
• Orange - V2
• Purple - DY
• Green - N7
• Red - RO2
• Yellow - N6
• Blue - N5

IC Form Link (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSerNxkQZ8sIbFeUtnsu3e5W6ArtPmQcNR8eISxBbdrEl9EfWw/viewform?usp=sharing)
I'm putting this above the kitting because it's that important. As much as I would love both of these colorways into GB at the same time, I don't know if there is enough demand for both. My friends and co workers are split- so I need your help. If you are interested in this set, please consider filling out the IC to help me decide what the best path is.

Deskmat & Artisan Collabs
I ran out of all creative juice trying to choose which shade of black and gray, cut me some slack. This set will highly likely not run with any collabs as the main goal is to keep it simple and get this run.

Super hype for this to go into GB with the recent cancelletion of GMK Chromatic (https://eloquentclicks.com/products/gmk-cyl-chromatic-keycap-set?srsltid=AfmBOopY2jtMSTFIiZNer_GEXExiTFdbCh9CEyDDRpDIRVV4V2B75uzW) This is a fire rebound. :cool:

Both colorways exist, gmk dark (CR on N9) and the rare gmk exent (N9 on CR). Isn’t a reason to not rerun.

N9 modi would be super fun

I had always been interested in a GMK Dark re-run with classic modifiers, so this fills that need.

Filled out the IC form. Would suggest doing classic modifiers (Prt Sc / Sys Rq and Pause / Break) for the base, and also adding stepped Caps Lock in doubleshot form for the modi kits.

big big fan of BoG. are Icon Mod child kits out of the question? I guess already having one set of mod kits per base is already pushing it, probably. regardless I'm in for at least one set of BoG.

I think the kitting is excellent. Good job. You may just want to consider adding a numpad R1 1u = key to the extension kits, and perhaps dropping the second R4 1u Fn (it seems unnecessary since there's already one in base). I would also prefer the stepped Caps Lock in extensions to be non-windowed.

That being said, I'm definitely interested in picking up both modifier kits for combining with other sets.

First off, thank you everyone for the immediate support and feedback on this set. I want to respond to some feedback and responses in the first day of the IC.

For those who left requests/feedback that I did not specifically mention above, I will still be looking over everything before the next version of kitting is finalized.

Thank you again for the feedback everyone, looking forward to reading even more :)

  • Requests for doubleshot stepped caps in Modi Kit - will likely replace the shinethrough cap with this.
  • Requests for OG modifiers - will take a look at these for the next iteration. There were a handful of people who specifically wanted OG nav keys, which I will be exploring.
  • Requests for icon mods - I'm sorry, but this set will be staying text + icon.
  • (Lack of) Requests for 40% Modi - VERY few people said they wanted 40s support in Modi. At this point I do not see it getting added.
  • Requests for 1.5u Supers - Will take a look and see, I want to be pretty lean here though. I see you though, and I am listening.
For those who left requests/feedback that I did not specifically mention above, I will still be looking over everything before the next version of kitting is finalized.

Thank you again for the feedback everyone, looking forward to reading even more :)

I would be really happy if you kept the windowed Caps Lock in the Modi.

I aim to please. With 40s likely not making it into Modi, there might be room for both versions. Will have to take a look.

Sadge for no 40s support (edit: that I need). I'd snatch this up so quick if it had the shifts I need (2u and 1u).

Gmk Dark rerun is cool, I'll buy both, and nice work on led keys. My concern is that GOB and Cosmos just ran within the last few years and if this will hit MOQ, not to mention all the other black sets like Mitclan and Tribal. Don't care for colored modis.

Thank you again for all the feedback everyone! The first revision renders are live and updated in the OP. Here is a summary of what changed.

Many vendors have reached out, so be on the lookout for a full vendor list next week. It's looking like this set will definitely run, and we're looking into a way to try and run both colorways at the same time given the even support we saw in the IC. Nothing is guaranteed at this point however.

Please continue to provide feedback where you see fit, however I want to mention two specific things that have received VERY little support, and will almost certainly will not make it in.
