Hey everyone!

With aftermarket prices for GMK Minimal soaring to well over 200% Ryan/Quaddepo and I felt it was time to offer you this classic again, better than ever! GMK Minimal 2 keeps all the things that made GMK Minimal great while adding new options we think you'll love!

Design

GMK Minimal 2 keeps all that elements that made GMK Minimal so popular: modern text mods, a clean black on white colourway and affordable kit design. The white used is a perfect balance between the very bright WS2 and "old school" beige of CP, it also makes for a perfect matching to e-white boards! In addition to this we’ve also added the option for some alternate accents and used the new centred arrows to keep consistent with the centred text mods, more of which below!

Kit design

Standard

This is the bread and butter of any GMK set. The standard kits has compatibility for the all the most popular layouts in the community.

Numbers

Numbers adds compatibility for layouts with a numpad. It also includes the keys needed to outfit a 1800 style layout.

Addition

Addition adds options for a OS modified bottom row, 60%s with arrows through the 2u shift, 660 layouts with the extra 2.25u shift, full ISO UK support and some options for different legends in the 65% and caps lock area.

Obscure

Obscure adds support for a wide variety of 40% keyboards, including ortholinear ones and Minivan type layouts. Included are the necessary modifiers and spacebars ranging from 1u to 3u. This kit also includes a second b key and the needed spacebars for split/ergonomic keyboards like the TGR Alice.

Command

Command is aimed at Mac users by adding correct legends for Command and Option keys.

Alternate

People have always loved adding accents to GMK Minimal, so this time around we decided to offer them right in the GB! The alternate kit includes a fresh take on the classic RGB mods, a Dixie X and OG style arrows.

Mono

For those of you who really want to take the minimal theme to the ultimate level. As the name suggest mono strips all secondary legends from the keys giving your board a very appealing clean look.

Norde

This kit adds compatibility for ISO NO, SE, FL, DK, DE layouts. The kits includes a 125u Shift and ISO Enter meaning this is a one stop shop for all things Norde!

GMK Minimal will be sold from August 2nd until September 2nd through these vendors

I like the kit layouts. On the Alternate kit, I feel that black text might work better on the green caps for legibility.

We'll see how feedback goes but I felt like the black text made the colours feel too "heavy".

Are you and janglad related? You guys complement each other.

Is this called minimaii or minimall?
Anyway, the addon kit looks really nice.

Jaltr · « **Reply #13 on:** Sat, 11 April 2020, 19:35:53 »

Yes please! Btw, Scofield looks clean af

Nice! Looking forward to this running again.

MikeTheTiger · « **Reply #15 on:** Sat, 11 April 2020, 19:36:51 »

I'm reading this as Mini Mall for some reason. I'm in.

Also, thanks for the 40's support.

mysticworks · « **Reply #16 on:** Sat, 11 April 2020, 19:42:00 »

very cool, how does white compare to bleached white/minimal white?

Paddel06 · « **Reply #17 on:** Sat, 11 April 2020, 19:42:46 »

~~So the base kit arrows are the new centered icons while Addition arrows are the old ones, right?~~

Should have just read the description...

konstantin · « **Reply #18 on:** Sat, 11 April 2020, 19:44:00 »

Kits are on point this time around! In for Addition and Alternate.

Same white as Minimal, not as "aggressive" of a white as bleached.

Correct!

psxndc · « **Reply #20 on:** Sat, 11 April 2020, 19:51:12 »

I missed out on Minimal, so I'm super excited this is running. Love the additions and the 40s support. Would love a 1u R3 FN or CTRL in the 40s kit though.

ne Colevrak+ available?

Starlight-Dawn · « **Reply #21 on:** Sat, 11 April 2020, 19:51:23 »

Love my R1. I'd buy a RAMA this round tho

slywolfz · « **Reply #23 on:** Sat, 11 April 2020, 19:55:16 »

YES! Please give the norde kit a chance and include accent ISO enters as well in the int or accent kit if possible.

Thank you Janglad, Ryan/Quaddepo.

It's great to see you are responding to the market demand by increasing supply.

And your timing in response to Hennessey is perfect, whether coincidental or not, because people can avoid the extra expense of purchasing an alternative product when they would have preferred Minimal. The market is large enough to accommodate multiple BOW sets as we are seeing.

Ensaum · « **Reply #26 on:** Sat, 11 April 2020, 20:26:57 »

Lol at everyone who bought aftermarket for $250+

depletedvespene · « **Reply #27 on:** Sat, 11 April 2020, 20:30:51 »

I don't want to be that guy (Lies! I love being that guy!), but I'd like to point out a flaw in the "Norde" kit: the `¬¦ and 4$€ keycaps are used only in the English (UK) national layout, so they ought to be in the "Addition" kit (if keeping the tertiary legends) or erased altogether (if going in the "English (UK) omits tertiaries" route).

Also, no R3 \| anywhere?

machine yearning · « **Reply #28 on:** Sat, 11 April 2020, 20:50:09 »

This looks absolutely awesome. Big props for the good 40s support, I'll totally bite on this one.

Yes. I want this. Thanks.

Please add a icon only mod kit if you don't want them in base please! Even if they are Dixie mods ill live with it just no text only

Between Bleached, Hennessey, and the infamous troll of Just-Call-It-BoW, and to a lesser extent GMK Redacted, ePBT Spectrum, ePBT Musician, and the Infinikey BoW that ran 4 months ago, there's just a lot of BoW going on right now.

awesome. in for base and 40s.

Missed the first run, definitely in for this one!

Any chance for a 1.25 enter in the 40s kit?

When running a r2, it never made sense to me for people to post renders when there are so many fantastic shots of the real thing around. Now that there are og icons for this, I'm in.
