[IC] GMK WoGREY / GREYoYellow keyset

[pix3l_fodder]

Was at a vmware terminal the other day and thought that they had a pretty nice colour scheme, so made a crappy quick mock-up to see if anyone is interested. It would use CC, White and N6 colours (see this image --> http://i.imgur.com/sXAxyeY.jpg). It uses the same keyset put together by Ivan (a good compromise) and hopefully can get this made by GMK providing we could meet the MoQ.

Please keep in mind the mock-up below is NOT colour accurate!

It makes a decent enough departure from Dolch but still keeps two of the colours. Any thoughts?

why not Yolch?

Its not a confirmed set, and its not the same either! Not really sure whats going on in that thread tbh.

I like the color combination, but prefer the classic layout with yellow F5-F8 etc.

Furthermore IvanIvanovich is running an all grey GMK GB right now, so it might be better to just run a GB for yellow Modifiers to combine them with Ivan's set.

[IvanIvanovich]

Yes see this is exactly the kind of things I was planning on making later in conjunction with the current full set. It's so nice and neutral we can do modifier / add on partial alpha and etc. sets like this to go along with it at a much cheaper price than full sets. Same thing applies for Dolch, as it would be more or less similar to that as well with a different modifiers. Just doing modifiers would be the smart approach here.

The all grey is slightly darker version of CC which is the Dolch alpha colour, but yes yellow on grey for the functions would work very well i think ... I did think about mods only and if peeps show enough interest in that option then i guess it'll head down that route.

Voicing support for Yolch!

[IvanIvanovich]

Aditionally... too many similar buys in a close time frame harms all of them as the buying group becomes fragmented then nothing makes it to production. Not to say you shouldn't do as you wish, just something to consider.

OP, I like the colors, but I think Ivan's idea about adding less than full sets to his neutral base set is a better idea.

@Ivan, so you have plans to do an alphas only set in another color after the gray one is done (assuming MOQ is met)? I love that idea. Any idea what the suggested color will be?

Yolch looks great.

Yolch looks great.

I also like Yolch and would probably prefer it if I were to get a yellow-based colorway.

[t2russo]

Yolch needs to be made simply because it's just too damn fun to say.  I'd be down for some Yolch Mods, I'd love to buy that Dark Grey set and then have a rainbow of mod varieties to mix and match.

[IvanIvanovich]

I was kind of thinking to do some things like this mods set / gamer packs in different colorways that are compliment to the full set. More smaller things... but alternate full alpha set could always be a possibility if there is demand for something.

FANCY ENTER KEYS.  I don't know how this hasn't caught on, but I want some Enter key flair.

[IvanIvanovich]

Yes I do as well... but maybe you know after seeing that white/orange enter/esc/home keys minipack I suggested. I'm waiting for legend cutting to become available. I have an idea I really want to make happen. 'Execute'. It's much better than Enter or Return.

Why not 'Terminate' or 'Accomplish' or 'Achieve' or even 'Effectuate'.

[dorkvader]

'Execute'. It's much better than Enter or Return.

Hey! "return" is great!, You need to go real old school and call it a "carriage return" key, or just print CR on it.

As everyone knows, "execute" should go where the right ctrl key normally sits in these degenerate times.

[IvanIvanovich]

Return and CR legends exists.

I don't know... I just like execute.

I suppose we could do it as some kind of novelty thing...

[whiskytango]

I would like to add "Engage" and "Make it so"

[HoffmanMyster]

Return and CR legends exists.

I don't know... I just like execute.

Execute is my favourite of the legends thrown around so far.  I'd love to get a few of those to replace some enter keys.

I like the idea of having different color mods to mix and match with a base alpha set. There needs to be more GMK mods! and yellow looks great. Would be in for a mod only set.
