Interest Checks / Re: [IC] GMK CYL Purple.
« Last post by MoltenKhor on Mon, 13 April 2026, 04:49:40 »Updated base kit and extension:
Base kit update:
Extension:
About International kits, still studying the IC Form to get % of each lang, as for now is DE and IT, all other languages sit just under 10%
I will remake keyboard renders to fix the icon+text instead of icon-only modifiers and also show windowed keys. (thank you for noting
)
Base kit update:
- Added R3 Stepped Control
- Added R1 Esc
Extension:
- Macro keys
- 4x Relegendables
- 2x 3U + 1U Split Space bars
- Windowed standard/stepped Caps Lock
- BAE
- Windowed R1 Scroll lock with inverted color as well
- Novelty ANSI Enter (might remove, not convincing 100%)

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] GMK CYL Salamander : Unto the Anvils of War
« Last post by culain on Mon, 13 April 2026, 04:03:47 »Love the concept.
GW actively claim Salamanders as a mark in recent filings. I would expect the novelties, the language surrounding this set and the novelties to result in some form of response from them.
Suggest a) change the name, b) remove the novelties as pictured, they are pretty egregious, c) remove the language in the description which links clearly to GW IP.
The colour scheme on its own is probably fine, but as it stands this isn't going to stand up to challenge.

If you were to move the 40s support out into a separate kit and add an R2 alert row, then the set will be much more 40s friendly. I offer up Keykobo Lilies of the Valley as a great example of this approach.
To enhance 40s support in general in the base or in add-on, please also offer up a R2 Esc key, R3 1.75u Enter and optionally R2 1u backspace. Other SWG sets like Beige and Nimbus have 5-key 40s support today, missing only the 1u backspace.
GLWIC!
My plan is to allign to the base kits they are already delivering with some of their kits (as you mentioned, Beige and Nimbus).
I would like to keep the alert row into the base kit though, so this would increase a bit the cost but it would give everyone "some more" keys to be used

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] Matter 65
« Last post by eldarlar on Mon, 13 April 2026, 00:58:12 »This looks pretty nice! I would consider including more options for the HS pcb though. Oh and preferably change the screws to hex. Torx screws look cool but they are prone to stripping
Thank you for your interest and opinions.
I reduce options in HS pcb due to my liking. I prefer not rotating switch, some keycap profile might hit the switch when bottom out.
In my experiences Hex screws are prone to stripping than torx screws, but I will test it over again to find which is the best.
For a second there I thought it was WKL only, but looks like we get options. It's a fun design.
Yes, we got WK too.
I usually avoid 65% boards because those top case blockers between the arrows and the bottom row mess up the symmetry for me. 60% WKL is much cleaner, but if I need arrows, TKL is the way to go. I’m an Alu lover (PC isn't my thing) and I prefer having material options like Alu/Brass/Copper backplates. Hope to see a 60% or TKL from you next
65% is the first layout that lure me to the hobby and last year I get rid of all other layout except 65%. But now I am started to collect 60% for months. So yes, my next design would be 60% for sure.

They could come out, threaten the US with nv(lr weapons, tear up all the WW2 agreements because the US action threatens their basic livelihood.
Then they can go to Irn, buy the oil and fully-Re-ARM.
See, unlike much of euro, JPN actually is bleeding edge on most high tech stuff manufacturing side of things.
So they don't actually NEED the western, economic, system.
They have the tech, they have the personnel, the know how, the base machinery.
Unfortunately, it's likely their leadership is too sick in the head to recognize this tremendous opportunity to get out of their vassalage.
They prefer running their criminal enterprise in < you know what> annnnnd welp, it is what it is.

The problem is, there's no way to know if ROKU or some native TV APP isn't compromised, there's no one looking at these things, they just wouldn't, they're barely getting features updated/ bug fixes for new models.
