Title: [IC] GMK R0/F & R5/A Addon Kit for Dolch/Classic beige
Post by: asgeirtj on Mon, 24 July 2017, 19:43:39: Hey there

I was wondering about the interest in this. Kind of surprises me that this has not been done yet.

Let me explain why we all need this... In the old age, when humanity knew that keyboards were very important, and an effort should be put in to make them as awesome as they could, whatever the cost, there was a distinct profile for each row:

http://cherryamericas.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/12.gif

This, of course, is better for typing since the caps then compensate for the distance between them and your fingers by reaching out you. However, as time went on, more and more commoners have learned how to operate a computer, and commoners do not have the cognitive capacity to know if the top and bottom two rows are the same profile or not. So, sadly, we have come to a time that it makes business sense to omit this vital function in the production of keyboards.

BUT, we know better. Those that have tasted the sweet nectar of R5 have never looked back, so it will also be with R0. Also, the unique profiles for each row make keyboards more beautiful, especially 40%-96% boards, since they make the landscape of the keyboard more varied, compensating for the lack of bezels inbetween keys.

The mould exist, as is known by Ivan's Miami Night's GB (RIP),

We would be talking about F1-F12,prtscr,scrllock,pause and for 96% users insert,home,pgup

R5 would be 1,5u alt,altgr,2x ctrl, 2x 1u modern windows key

Also for Kekkon's Icon Dolch and I suppose for Ivan's Dolch as well that use the authentic L9 for their legends.

Is that difference so noticeable? Honest question.

I haven't seen WS1 legends in person, but I have seen OG Cherry legends (L9) and they do not look as white by any means, they look as a very light cream.

Yeah, this is specially sad because now 75% is a very popular layout, and it would be very nice to have some R0 keys for them.

Apparently GMK Carbon R2 is going to have R0 and R5. Check the IC thread.

That's right. But you have to buy an entire set to use them. This thread called for classic color owners to get compatible keys for their current sets.

Yes, but I think this should wait at least until the missing R5 1.25 mold is made for Carbon.

Post by: xondat on Fri, 27 July 2018, 18:01:34: I would personally love it but slim chances considering the replies :-[

Might be better to get a GMK render, since right now it looks very conceptual.

Still up in the air pending quotes I believe.

Dolch addon would be excellent, hopefully some day people will see the truth.

The Umka addon:

However it needs 14 orders for MOQ if I'm reading this graph correctly:

I encourage all R0 aficinados to help make this happen, beige really is the most classic colorway.

Id assume this would be for old dolch set? Originative dolch use WS1 for their white for example.

if i recall, the old old old originative dolch sets used l9.

It is well known that originative Dolch does not match OG Dolch legends.
