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.

Interest Checks / [IC] GMK CYL Mayan blue

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.

People who watch / follow kpop.

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.

For me it is GMK Mizu, and I am glad to see other people here asking for an R2 as well. I missed the first run because I was still on a stock board back then, and the blue on that set has stuck in my head ever since. GMK Darling is my other one. I like the dark base with those pink accents, it would look right at home next to the black case I already have.

Thanks for this, I have been curious about silent tactiles for a while. My office board still has regular Cherry Browns in it, and by late afternoon the clicking from my own typing starts to wear on me. The new spring and the C-Lab work sound like a real step up from the older Cherry silents I tried years ago. I am tempted to buy a small pack to try in just the alphas first, before I commit to a full set.

Glad this one is moving again after all that time. The purple and katakana combo is what caught my eye first, it looks a lot bolder in the Rikia renders than I expected. I do touch type without looking much, so the katakana-only base is the one thing holding me back a bit. A Latin alphas kit down the line would probably sell me on it. My current board is a plain black 65 percent, so this would be a big change for me.
