  • Hi! My name is zlobin!

Hello! Today I present to you mine small project - GMK CYL Классика (Classic)
I had this idea for a while, mono-cyrillic alphas in classic colorways with GMK manufacturing, so i decided to give it a shot.

IC FORM:
Inspiration

One of the things that has always inspired me were vintage keyboards, particularly those OG Cherry doubleshots with mono-cyrillic legends.

Kits:

Бежевый (Beige):
Дольч (Dolch):
Белый-На-Черном (White-On-Black):

Rubber (Collab with Manu | CTRL):

Idea of kitting:

We decided to go with the bare minimum — alpha cluster keys, ISO and Alice support, mod-colored keys, and Cyrillic-specialized numrow keys (2, 3, 4, 6, and 7).

During the IC, we’d like to hear whether you’d need a full number kit, F-keys, or additional spacebars, since the kitting was optimized for people who already have a full set in the desired colorway and to keep the price as low as possible.

Besides the Classic colorway, Manu from CTRL and I decided to collaborate on the Rubber colorway!

Renders:
keyboard used in renders: F1-8X V2 by Geon.Works

Details:
Manufacturer: GMK
Profile: Cherry (CYL)
Colors: L9 + U9 + CR (Beige), N9 + CC + CP (Dolch), CR + WS1 (WOB), CR + U9 + WS1 (Rubber)
Legend print: Doubleshot, Doubleshot + UV Print sublegends for Rubber


Vendors:
Europe: DeltaKeyCo
United States: BowlKeyboards
United Kingdom: ProtoTypist
South East Asia: PantheonKeys
Oceania: KeebzNCables
Canada: KeyBaytech
South Korea: Swagkeys
China: VTX


TBD:
Deskmats?
Other collabs?

Thats all i can show you today. If response will be good, we can move towards GB preparation! :thumb:

I would suggest using CP for white color on Dolch (will work with Dolch R5 and OG Dolch PAC)

And WS1 for WoB.

It was really fun making the renders for this project, I hope it succeeds!
The Rubber collab with Cyrillic main legends and Latin subs is going to look so cool (and it’ll be a first for GMK, afaik!) :cool:

I considered it TBH! Maybe, in future runs or other project.  :thumb:
