[IC] GMK Beige Mini Extensions

GMK Beige Mini Extensions

What are these?
These are 3 beige GMK kits that are stripped down to the bare minimum, in order to help people fill out modern custom keyboards in GMK keycaps. Specifically, we have two keyboards coming up soon at CannonKeys that both need some unique caps in order to be filled out properly- the 21XX and the OGR2. These kits can be used fill out tons of other keyboards though, and relegenables are always nice to have. Also, this might be the first time a macro column F-Key kit has been run in GMK, so that's neat. We have already quoted these with GMK, so we are able to give some target prices.


Kits
All caps are in GMK standard L9 and U9

F-Row Ext - Goal price of $15
Note - R5 molds do not currently exist for F9 and F10, which is why they are excluded here.


Macro Ext - Goal price of $18 USD


Relegendables - Goal price of $25 USD
This price might seem high, but it is likely the best we can do at the low MOQ we expect to be selling for this GB.

The goal of these kits is to provide the most trimmed down version of kitting to achieve the lowest prices, so while we're open to feedback on kitting there is not much here to iterate on. That being said, please fill out the IC so we have an idea of how viable these kits are.

Thank you!

This came up earlier on Discord - so I'm gonna put the info here too.

Unfortunately there are no existing R5 molds for the F9 and F10 keys in the F-row Ext kit.
Getting those molds made would make the price go up considerably, so they're not feasible unless we get a ton of requests for it in the IC.

We'll look into it if there is overwhelming demand, but otherwise those keys will likely not make the cut.

If anyone is curious about GMK legend tooling, my understanding is rows R1-R4 1u use the same molded legend, but R0 and R5 are unique. Also, each row requires a unique legend mold for sizes other than 1u.

I second this — I was disappointed not to see F13–F30 like on the Cherry G80-0528.
