There are always a couple of keys here and there that I wish I had - was just wondering if anyone had ideas on GMK caps that they would like made?
My idea for this is that it would be a GB for a select couple of keys - not an entire mod set or kit like RGB or CMYW
Please post your suggestions in the following format:
Size / row / key color / legend color / legend / Other
e.g.
1.75 / 3 / black / white / Ctrl / windowed, stepped
Also, please mention briefly why you want this key to be made and who would it serve e.g. 75% users, OG doubleshot users etc
If requesting blank keys please put the legend colour and legend as "-"
Also, I've included a photo of available GMK colours below as a point of reference - feel free to use these colour codes or simply colour names in your suggestions

Could you give some examples of individual keys you wish you had? Personally, I only really eye complete sets, but I'm open to anything really.
I'm thinking along the lines of accent keys like those included in Hyperfuse, Ivan's Dolch and so forth. Obviously these are just examples and we'd have to run them by their respective designers first if we chose to go with those colors

I was thinking about starting an IC for GMK bottom row blanks (1 & 1.25u). I figure if we got them in just a few colors it would match a lot of the sets out there. You wanna combine powers or you want me to start my own thread?
Yeah man I'd be down for that

WOW! yes please! Hoping you guys would consider doing modifiers keys with mac legends like "cmd" & "option".
I haven't seen anyone did that before. give us pc/mac users some love ;D
Unfortunately I don't think that GMK has the molds for these legends
Awesome idea! I would be in with you for some keys like:
Size / row / key color / legend color / legend / Other
1.75 / 3 / black / white / Ctrl / windowed, stepped
1.75 / 3 / beige / black / Ctrl / windowed, stepped
1.75 / 3 / black / purple / Ctrl / windowed, stepped
I will post some other suggestions later.
Thanks for the feedback - I like the way that you've set it up
Maybe if people could briefly mention the key style e.g. HHKB Control key and what sets it would ideally tie into

There is a tool to convert an excel table to bbcode at the enemy that can be use to keep a summary of the suggestions you decide that worth to try to get into the GB, this idea is awesome. Thank you.
Yeah I was going to say that the way you've set it up means text to columns can sort it out really quickly

This sounds really interesting. It might be hard to get enough people to agree on an accent without a matching set, but who knows. I'm on board with this idea.

One of the great things that comes from GMK's limited colour palettte is that they tend to complement each other very well
I'm sure we could get some colours that people would be down for

How about spacebars? Do you guys think it's a good idea to include it?
It would be a good idea, the question is what colors should be make.

So I've read that GMK have significantly lowered their MOQs on standard colours to 150 now (from 250) - I feel that this lowered MOQ means that some GBs might now be possible that were not possible under the old system.:eek:
That's awesome!

You should probably be able to get a purple spacebar from ctrlalt when they put JTK up on the store

You could also make a poll to allow people to vote on the choices and get some idea on the potential demand.

Another set of people who might be interested are FC660 owners who wants matching shifts.
For me I REALLY want a cyan on purple enter key to match the esc key that was a bonus in the Hyperfuse GB <3 I'd probably buy any pack of keys in that color way TBH!
Post by: swimmingbird on Tue, 15 December 2015, 03:13:17
One thing to think about is people wanting extra shift keys for the split spacebar customs that are everywhere ATM. It's normally both fulls sized shift keys and a 1.25u, I'd like to buy some blank kits with those keys in any colors.

Please include at least one control key replacement for the caps lock position. A neutral color may be appropriate for many sets.

We may need both, due to center and off center stems positions in Cherry boards and some custom made ones.

Based on your last comments it seems you are considering some sort of novelties small set; right?
I understood the title and OP as intended to have GMK producing keys that are hard to find and that may be required to complement existent sets. Was I wrong?
I am not really into novelties or artisan keys, I'd prefer my keys to be utilitarian and my boards are sort of spartan, but that is only me, I know many fellows love them.
Godspeed with your GB if it is for novelties only.

Wasn't so much novelties but doing a non stepped and stepped control key for one specific keyset is going to be killer.
I don't wanna end up footing the bill for 100 stepped r3 control keys for no one to buy them
I'll run the most popular suggestions through a poll later on and if there is enough interest I'll try to get this moving forward
Novelties are not the intention but they are most likely what people are willing to buy into

Yeah the purple caps are dope!
For the 660 I didn't specifically mean HyperFuse shifts. Just in general; 660 GMK users will probably pick up a pair of shift keys (in any colorway) to get some accented symmetry going on. With anything other than a 'single key GB' it would be really pricey to get a hold of a pair of matching shifts :thumb: You are right though - how many of those 660 weirdos be out here?!
EDIT: Ohh, I'd really like to have a R1 backslash 1u key for hyperfuse! It's the only thing missing for a perfect HHKB layout...

Is there a list anywhere of their legends they have available? It'd be cool to get some cool colourway/quirky text keys.What about running some Esc packs + R4 windowed blank packs?

After that I will do some logistics calculating and run a poll. I don't wanna get swamped so it might start off with something small and we can revisit second and third popular options in the future.
I know heed wants to run blanks so I need to talk to him about that but from our chat he sounded set on doing a few for Classic Beige.
I'll try my best to respond to people's comments in the threads.
1,75 / 3 / Ctrl / Magenta / White
1,75 / 3 / Ctrl / Magenta / Black
Because CMYK and CMYW needs to work for the HHKB layout ;)
I know a lot of people don't share this opinion but I'll include it in the poll when we get around to it
where my homie Georgio at, we need more support for F/J bars! Hyperfuse, Classic Beige, WoB would be a good start.
If I were to do bars I'd want to make them stand out / interesting like the ones from Ivan's Colour Pack
Don't forget to invite Khan
My vote is for relengendables with a variety of colored caps (like the skidata+ ones)
But that's probably unrealistic
Good idea
I think these would be popular and could work well - I think they are quite expensive but I'll ask GMK what sort of pricing we'd be looking at and whether or not we could get multiple tops per keycap (e.g. orange, cyan, purple)
I'm not sure how expensive they'd be but if we could hit $2-3 a key I think we could hit numbers pretty easily as most people would order 10+

Yeah exactly, and you'd be able to buy one set of relegendables (Plus maybe front printed function legends) and buy multiple colors. ALthough the upfront price might be high, the value for someone who only has one or two keyboards but lots of sets would be great.

I don't think we'd get the numbers if the cost of adding front print to relegendables brings it up to the same price point that was in SKIDATA+
Post by: Dernubenfrieken on Thu, 17 December 2015, 09:13:19
I think a starting point would be a set of 15 relegendables with R/G/B/Clear tops (Or CMY, Hyperfuse colors, whatever). I don't know how much the tops would end up costing relative to the keys though.

Thanks for all the feedback so far - I've got to talk to heedpantsnow a bit about this as he wants to run some blanks but at this point I think JOKER and CODE keys are definite contendersNice! How about cmy & purple spacebars? Are you guys considering those also? Just asking :)
Maybe some enter keys as well but we'll see how it goes - I want to keep it as affordable as possible
Not sure about these as they were run recently in Ivan's Miami Nights set
I bought 9 space bars in that gb haha
if this turns into a relegendables buy I'll sit out, but for anything else I'll probably be down - I'm addicted to gmk caps

IMO the white legends go perfectly well with the WoB base, which I think was the best mix & match though

I'm sure a lot of people need this one because they have a bsp set or an OG cherry set.
Also GMK UN0001 (white) on N5 (electric blue) R3 Home and R4 End key to complete the GMK Electric Bluegaloo set for 75% adaptability.

Could you give some examples of individual keys you wish you had? Personally, I only really eye complete sets, but I'm open to anything really.
I'm thinking along the lines of accent keys like those included in Hyperfuse, Ivan's Dolch and so forth. Obviously these are just examples and we'd have to run them by their respective designers first if we chose to go with those colors

Ah yes, I did mean the full touch and not a centre-stemmed stepped caps lock. To put an original Cherry set onto a Filco, for example, those are the two keys that don't fit.

Yeah, I've got a few myself but none to match my Classic Beige sets.
One of the reasons that encourage me to build a custom was the motivation to use my classic beige set as it is with no adapters of any kind, now I am very happy with my full set on my sixty board.
Here is an example, I recently changed the space bar for a Cherry PBT that matches the set perfectly:

I'm cautious about shipping from Australia and would probably have to work with someone who could proxy from the US for something like this
I'm also thinking of narrowing the scope to something more like a Esc pack but with JOKER keys, F/J scoops, or perhaps a stripe row

Shipping - you'd pay a premium to get everything shipped to Australia, and then another premium to ship it back out to the rest of the world.
A US distributor would make a lot of sense.

Any updates as to what cap(s) you are going to be running?
I'm just waiting to hear back from GMK on Cherry logo keycaps
Right now it will be something similar to an Esc pack with a bunch of different colours to match existing sets.
I'm also hoping to see if they can do it in a R4 or R5 profile but that will probably be a separate pack
I'm still going through which colours to use but I am aiming to support most major sets that have run recently and some general accent colours that should complement most keysets nicely

I'm still down to do it but the viability of hitting MOQ is pretty low at the moment given that justnits has already launched a GB form and people seem interested
I always think there are certain unwritten ethic guidelines on this, so I consider the guy behavior kind of rude to take the idea over with no input from you.

So how about the original idea of single GMK keys? You should have some feedback to run a specific interest check by now, don't you?
Not necessarily
Everyone wants something very specific that would most definitely not hit MOQ

If you are positive about it; then, it may be better to lock this thread.
Got a couple things brewing at the moment
Will lock when I feel the need to
Is there any most wanted so far?
Honestly been kind of all over the place - different colours, different profiles, different keys, different legends
