[IC] GMK CYL Icon Beige
« on: Sun, 07 September 2025, 13:10:44 »
Intro

Hello old Cherry lovers, this is sumjoy, I’m so glad to tell u that old style Cherry is coming.
Here it is, GMK CYL Icon Beige, a set that follows the classic looking of the keycaps from Cherry G80-2100 which is my favorite Cherry keyboard.


314413-0

(Personally, I opened a GB two months ago, and I was bothered with finding a set of keycaps to match with it)
314415-1

314417-2
The brown Diversity(2100 top) matched with original G80-2100 HDD keycaps.

IC Form

Kits

Base Kit
314419-3
Base kit render is made based on G80-2100 HAG.

Extension Kit
314421-4

DE Kit
314423-5

Macro Kit
314425-6

40s Kit
314482-7

Note: all the icons and texts on shinethroughs, front print of relegendables are UV-print.

I know it may looks like another boring GMK beige, but the most attractive part is the DE mods.
Also, the macro kit in functional text, red Cherry shinethrough in R4 profile, 40s kit in icon style, two-shot relegendable are all unique so far.
For those who love old Cherry keyboard, this should be dream come true. For those who love icon beige mods, this is should be a nice choice.

Love the 2000/2100 series of Cherry boards, so I'm interested.

Hope that the changes suggested in the IC form do go through, though (Fn in text, colored Win, R5, Control in text, etc.).

GLwIC!

IC form filled. In short:
  • I like the inclusion of relegendable F-keys by default.
  • Can we get a R3 1u \| key for non-UK ISO layouts? R3 \| + R4 \| is a valid substitute for terminal ISO.
  • I'd like to see “System” (“Sys”) or “Super” instead of “Code” for the OS-key legends. I like the idea of colored Win keys, but not in the base kit.
  • I'd also like to see R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn added (preferably to base, but extension works too) for 65%/75% support.
  • I prefer the icon-only R3 and R4 keys that you've included, but it might be a good idea to also add text variants to the extension kit for people who prefer the OG legends.

GLWIC - big & beige-utiful!  Would like to see a R5 kit added and adding PF13-PF24 relegendables to complete the G80-2xxx / terminal compatibility (this may be the only kit that'll ever makes sense with haha).

21XX (soon) | Leggera-G | ClassicGLO | Frog TKL 8K | GH60 rev.C + Leggera-T | 86U 45g  | G80-2100HDU | G80-1000HBU | G80-3700HAU | QFR V1  | FC200R | PokerX | G80-11900LUMEU

It makes sense, just like the G80-2100HDF. I'll consider that.

Thx for your kind suggestions.
Following the original keycaps set of 2100 in English, maybe won't consider adding R3 \| + R4 \|, and they can be easily found in other GMK beiges.
Okay, “System” (“Sys”) or “Super” is reasonable.
R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn are not common in other GMK keycap sets, since R2 PgUp, R3 PgDn are more common.
yeah, maybe R3 and R4 in the extension kit, text ones in the base.

yeah, adding PF13-PF24 is the best way to bring 2100 back. but it's gonna be much more expensive, and there is few boards can afford it.

One or two R1 2u keys in the extension kit like you had in your CRP set for 9009-layout Diversity buyers would be really cool I think, if that's a possibility.
