Keyboards / Re: Keys not working

Glad to see the repair worked. The jumper wires between M and N, and Backspace and = were a clever fix for the damaged PCB connections. The part about the number row registering multiple presses was interesting too. Testing every key after soldering is a good way to catch any remaining input issues.

To be honest, I have a lot of criticism of the Maya side of this set. The colorway looks nice, but I don’t see any real connection between it and Maya culture at all.

1. Why is the colorway a mono blue set? Most of the mayan murals use red, green, yellow and the brown from the clay for most of the art, why choose blue as the main color?
2. Continuing with the colorway, in Maya murals, ceramics and sculpture, blue shows up mostly as an accent for sky, water and background made with a mix from the añol pigment and mineral clay, the shade changes with the recipe and how it was heated, most of the time the color is not as teal as you are showing but much more of a muted sky blue.
3. Which Maya calendar are the glyphs on the novelties from? They don’t look to be from the Haab or the Tzolk’in, so they just look like generic “Maya-style” glyphs found on google to me. You also say numerals like 7 and 13 differ between sources and that you took inspiration from “various references and articles” Which ones references? Head-variant numerals change a lot between site and periods
4. You say you’re bringing Maya culture to the set, but all you show is the numeral system and the calendar. There’s nothing from the architecture, the mythology or the folklore.

Honestly, it feels like you found a color called “Maya blue”, grabbed the first thing a quick search gave you about the culture, and built the novelties from that. I see no research and no respect.

The set doesn’t reflect Maya culture in any way. Maya culture has a huge amount to offer as a theme, so seeing it reduced to a color name and a few numerals with zero real research behind it appalls me to be honest, I respect the fact that you might want to make a set using this color but randomly relating it to a culture without doing due research is not the way to do it.

This is a really useful list for anyone looking to connect with mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. I especially like that it covers different niches, from 40% keyboards and Topre to firmware development and artisan trading. It would be great to keep the invite links updated as more communities join.

Hi,
Small update. Unfortunately due to the complex novelties and tooling for machines taking longer than expected, the completed manufacturing of the set has been delayed, passing the original estimate of October, but should finish production in November.

GMK CYL MAYAN BLUE

Hi, let me introduce Mayan blue a set inspired by one of the most historically significant color.

This color, traditionally obtained by combining indigo with clay, was characterized by an extraordinary resistance to the elements and the passage of time. It is a color with a teal component that varies depending on its composition and how it is prepared; in this case, I used the reference color provided by RAL.

Beyond its aesthetic value, Mayan Blue held deep symbolic and spiritual significance: it was associated with water, the sky, fertility, and the sacred realm. It was used to decorate ceramics, sculptures, buildings, and ritual objects, becoming one of the defining elements of Mayan culture






AND, i wanted to bring Maya culture not only through color, but also by using their two primary numbering systems: the bar and dots numerals, and the cephalomorphic (head-shaped) numerals, which were used on calendars and in sanctuaries.


Since this is a somewhat unique set  I’d like to gauge initial interest first; the only way to do that is by filling out the FORM. The kitting is, of course, subject to change

COLORS
BASE: RAL 200 40 30 Mayan blue
LEGENDS: GMK CP

KIT



I’ve tried to replicate it as closely as possible, following the "double-shot" guidelines. However, some numerals, such as 7 and 13, were represented differently across the sources, so I drew inspiration from various references and articles and selected the most commonly used versions.

What (should not have) surprised me was that Drumpf has known about it for half a year.

I too fail to understand the attraction.

It seems like glorifying what is irritating and distracting, but I generally gravitate to cerebral music.

Ergonomics / Re: What is the most optimized layout recently?
« Last post by NorrisFByrd on Wed, 11 November 2026, 04:24:28 »
I have stuck with QWERTY so far, mainly because I type on other peoples machines a lot and I do not want to relearn shortcuts on the fly. What changed things for me was not the letters at all, it was the Fn layer on my 65 percent. I put arrows on WASD like Karura described, and that alone made long editing sessions feel easier than any layout swap I tried. Colemak still tempts me now and then, especially after reading about the pinky relief here, but I keep coming back to the idea that the physical setup matters more for me than the letter order.

Keyboard Keycaps / Re: Should Numpad be in the Base kit?
« Last post by NorrisFByrd on Wed, 11 November 2026, 04:18:06 »
I am on a 65 percent most days, so I am the person who saves a few dollars when the numpad is split out. Even so, I lean toward keeping it in the base kit. Thirty dollars for a separate numpad is a lot when the saving is only three or four, and I have skipped sets before because the extra kit pushed the total past what I wanted to spend. The 30 percent take rate in your DCS numbers is higher than I would have guessed too.
