R3 control will look terrible, and doesn't match these types of sets.

This is why you don't see it ever included.

+1
RGB and CMYK were never meant for HHKB style layouts - it ruins the symmetry inherent in both the way the mods are supposed to be used and the symmetry of the HHKB layout

So the consensus is that everyone that might be interested in buying modifier pack will only use keys the way they were originally supposed to be used and goes for symmetry. Ever. Wouldn't the green fn ruin the symmetry? Is that included in the original CMYK modifier pack? Most HHKB keyboards I've seen from the community is not symmetrical, custom esc+fn for example.

Sorry if I may seem abit brutish but please people, don´t try to limit others because you yourself fail to see the appeal.

I agree wholeheartedly. If everyone's stance was something along the lines of "I wouldn't use it" or "I think it's ugly", we'd never get any of these sets to hit MOQ. Besides--standard keyboard layouts aren't symmetric by design. (Even winkeyless keyboards.)

R3 Control would handle HHKB support as well as those who swap Control w/ Caps Lock on standard keyboards--potentially increasing total number of units sold.

If the cost is minimal, as it was with the Alt Gr keys in RGBYK, it's hard to find a reason not to include an R3 Control that isn't based on someone's aesthetic opinion.

Exactly! 

I think it's funny that in one post a person says basically "adding a few extra keys to a mod pack doesn't hurt", but 4 posts or so later says "R3 Control look terrible and don't match"

Y'all can't have it both ways...

IF you could not see the new mock up, you would see it on the above link
1,the backspace is 2× in color 3B
2,the caps and stepped caps is in color 3c
3,the others are kept as before.

I really like that backspace colour!

edit: Why only 2 Fn instead of 4 in the previous mock up?

This looks like you are just adding whatever anybody wants to this as you go along. With seven different coloured keys, there is no way this is going to meet MOQ. Sorry.

It's more CMYPVGBK than CMYK

Unfortunately, I'm not sure any of the added keys were requested. I'ma have to call GMK to get my own personal R3 Control

I think the decision was largely up to OP. I don't mind them. But if they're going that route, they may as well try to accommodate windowed Caps Lock and 1u Backspace.

And the new colors aren't good. They're too pastel whereas the CMY is more neon.

I've had it in the works for a while now, but because of a recent career switch I've been busy.
I'm still behind the scenes though, I've been helping setup SKIDATA+ and would be able to launch the above pack for $43 USD + shipping after SKIDATA+ completes.
Same price as RGBYK.


I do not know what is the current status of this IC, but Taylor's layout with row 5 mods rocks.

You might as well do an entire mod set if you are going to include so many keys with it. But advertising it as CMYK and putting seven keys in is not going to work out well IMO.

Agreed. While I like the colors individually they totally would not work together imo. Whether or not this sticks to true CMYK will definitely determine whether or not I buy, because I want to be buying a keyset that will actually be compatible with itself.

I'd prefer this because of the R5 keys. However it would need R5 windows and/or FN keys to complement it.
