[IC] GMK CYL Классика (Classic) - Mono-Cyrillic alphas kit in classic colorways!

[zlobin356]

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!

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

And WS1 for WoB.

[DivinaPapaya]

PRETTY COOL

[Gtour]

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!)

[Purple Sawa]

I need that

[DirtyGingy]

You have my attention for dolch and WoB

[DirtyGingy]

Oh, its probably a bit of an ask, but a BoW version would be awesome too.

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

Perfect for my leftover GMK Monochrome Mods

GMK Klassika is looking great!
From a cost optimisation POV, I don't think having full number pad kit, extra F-keys or additional spacebars are really required. I think you've kept it as slim as possible whilst covering the major layouts. After all these aren't meant to be standalone base kits.

Best of luck with GB!

One step closer to the missing Zastava kit

Can't have enough Cyrillic, I'm in for all the kits!

[Gemmmmmmmmmmmmmy]

Oh this is great, nice and clean
