Title: [IC] GMK CYL Power 2048
Post by: biip on Thu, 28 August 2025, 09:01:49: GMK CYL Power 2048

(https://media.biipmk.com/gmk_power2048/GMK_Power2048-Banner.png)

Hey everyone.

Inspired by PowerBook 100. Featuring Extended 2048 accent colors and (as close as possible) PowerBook 100 base color (Pantone 2332 C or something between RAL 7010 and 7012).
Looking for feedback, so here is a Google Poll (https://forms.gle/u2eQATfHMTyuVyo6A).

Post by: Lhiebig on Thu, 28 August 2025, 14:47:13: That set remind all the nice afternoon spend on my dad's best friend MacIntosh, playing Warcraft, first of his name!!!

I'd be very happy to slap this on one of my keyboard.... as long as ISO FR is supported, like with a true international child kit ;D.

Post by: Adelscott on Thu, 28 August 2025, 15:46:52: Nice!
I'll buy any of the base kits as long as there is also an azerty child kit.

Post by: konstantin on Thu, 28 August 2025, 20:17:04: Great kitting, as we've come to expect from you :) As far as base kit choice goes, it all comes down to pricing, imo.

Are there any new legend molds in this set?

It will be matched to a PowerBook 100. I should receive it next week. But it looks close indeed.

I like it. Now I'd have to convince vendors to run that as an extension kit, maybe with UV sub legends?!

Some novelties require new molds to be made.

Please cover numpads with 2u "+" as well as those with 1u "+" & "-"

Also, it makes sense to me for FN numbers to match numpad numbers (start in R4 and progress up).
Or is the top-down FN configuration part of Powerbook's history?
