[IC] Single GMK Keys

[ideus]

A poll may be handy.

It's coming - this is supposed to be the ic phase though and I'd rather hear all the suggestions before I put something up

It makes sense buddy. I still have hopes for some people to go for some utilitarian keys. Let's see.

[nathanrosspowell]

One thing to think about is people wanting extra shift keys for the split spacebar customs that are everywhere ATM. It's normally both fulls sized shift keys and a 1.25u, I'd like to buy some blank kits with those keys in any colors.

Another set of people who might be interested are FC660 owners who wants matching shifts.

For me I REALLY want a cyan on purple enter key to match the esc key that was a bonus in the Hyperfuse GB <3 I'd probably buy any pack of keys in that color way TBH!

This was actually the cap that made me wanna start this (cyan on purple enter key)

I'd be happy to do some extra left shift keys but I literally have no idea what the 660 owner numbers are like

Yeah the purple caps are dope!

For the 660 I didn't specifically mean HyperFuse shifts. Just in general; 660 GMK users will probably pick up a pair of shift keys (in any colorway) to get some accented symmetry going on. With anything other than a 'single key GB' it would be really pricey to get a hold of a pair of matching shifts    You are right though - how many of those 660 weirdos be out here?!


EDIT: Ohh, I'd really like to have a R1 backslash 1u key for hyperfuse! It's the only thing missing for a perfect HHKB layout...

Size	Row	Legend	Key Colour	Legend Colour
1.50	2	⌫	N5 (blue)	UN0001
1.25	4	⌘	N5 (blue)	UN0001
1.25	4	⌥	N5 (blue)	UN0001
1.25	4	Fn	N5 (blue)	UN0001

I hope this can complete the ElectricBluegaloo keyset for OSX users

Just so you know GMK doesn't have the legends for OS X

Ahh crap, I didn't see ur post earlier about OS X legends.. 

[jonathanyu]

Size   Row   Legend                                             Color
1.5    2      Tab with correct arrow sign                   V4 on U9
1       1      PRT SC, with side print SysRq               V4 on U9
1       1      Pause, with side print Break                  V4 on U9
1       1      F5-F8                                                 V4 on L9

To fix the wrong legends on Originative Olivetti.

[switchnollie]

If ISO return & stepped capslock happens I'm f'sure in, not too picky about the colors

[kiwi99]

What about running some Esc packs + R4 windowed blank packs? I would bet there would be some interest for those.

Closest thing along those lines that I'm thinking of is a set of JOKER keys as they are something that hasn't really been explored yet

What about Fn or Code keys? Joker sounds interesting but if you're looking for the greatest audience its best to go more generic/useful I'd suggest.. Is there a list anywhere of their legends they have available? It'd be cool to get some cool colourway/quirky text keys.

I am considering these keys - the comment above was in regards to R1 novelties

[Dernubenfrieken]

My vote is for relengendables with a variety of colored caps (like the skidata+ ones)

But that's probably unrealistic

[ika]

where my homie Georgio at, we need more support for F/J bars! Hyperfuse, Classic Beige, WoB would be a good start.

[Vaun]

1,75 / 3 / Ctrl / Magenta / Black

Because CMYK and CMYW needs to work for the HHKB layout

Regarding FC660m:

[swimmingbird]

I'm going to try and get a list tomorrow sometime next week so post away people - the more I hear the better
After that I will do some logistics calculating and run a poll. I don't wanna get swamped so it might start off with something small and we can revisit second and third popular options in the future.

I know heed wants to run blanks so I need to talk to him about that but from our chat he sounded set on doing a few for Classic Beige.
I'll try my best to respond to people's comments in the threads.

I know a lot of people don't share this opinion but I'll include it in the poll when we get around to it

If I were to do bars I'd want to make them stand out / interesting like the ones from Ivan's Colour Pack

Good idea

I think these would be popular and could work well - I think they are quite expensive but I'll ask GMK what sort of pricing we'd be looking at and whether or not we could get multiple tops per keycap (e.g. orange, cyan, purple)
I'm not sure how expensive they'd be but if we could hit $2-3 a key I think we could hit numbers pretty easily as most people would order 10+

Yeah exactly, and you'd be able to buy one set of relegendables (Plus maybe front printed function legends) and buy multiple colors. ALthough the upfront price might be high, the value for someone who only has one or two keyboards but lots of sets would be great.

I don't think we'd get the numbers if the cost of adding front print to relegendables brings it up to the same price point that was in SKIDATA+

[Dernubenfrieken]

Absolutely true, much more of a pipe dream with that.

I think a starting point would be a set of 15 relegendables with R/G/B/Clear tops (Or CMY, Hyperfuse colors, whatever). I don't know how much the tops would end up costing relative to the keys though.

Red delete key black font!  I need it!

+1, even though this seems to be a buy for relegendables.

[admiralvorian]

Thanks for all the feedback so far - I've got to talk to heedpantsnow a bit about this as he wants to run some blanks but at this point I think JOKER and CODE keys are definite contenders

Maybe some enter keys as well but we'll see how it goes - I want to keep it as affordable as possible

Nice! How about cmy & purple spacebars? Are you guys considering those also? Just asking

Not sure about these as they were run recently in Ivan's Miami Nights set

I bought 9 space bars in that gb haha

if this turns into a relegendables buy I'll sit out, but for anything else I'll probably be down - I'm addicted to gmk caps

[bazh]

I don't buy the single purple key idea, I want THE WHOLE MOD SET


Wait, can we run another round for the purple mod, in a separate GB?

You may ask Ivan to run it, after he returned from his hiatus.

How about a Purple mod set with black legends? What would that look like?
And it would actually be something different.

I'm not a fan

IMO the white legends go perfectly well with the WoB base, which I think was the best mix & match though

[lolpes]

multiple color arrows or wasd ? like the new SNES GMK but in different colors

Nah, I the legends are way too small/thin on that set. Even the white on black is unreadable.
I think the black legends could work quite well but I would need to visualize it to be sure.

[asgeirtj]

6,25x white gmk spacebar!

I'm sure a lot of people need this one because they have a bsp set or an OG cherry set. 

Also GMK UN0001 (white) on N5 (electric blue) R3 Home and R4 End key to complete the GMK Electric Bluegaloo set for 75% adaptability.

[pr0ximity]

I'm late to this IC but I've been thinking it would be cool to run a buy for F+J scoops for some popular sets that would match the mod kits. White-on-red for GMK Red Alert, Cyan-on-grey/cyan/purple for Hyperfuse, Black/grey-on-orange for Skidata. I never see boards styled that way and I think F+J keys that stand out look great.

[LeandreN]

I'm actually starting to get into GMK sets just now. This GB sounds good. Definitly in for some code keys or anything with colors that will look good with Skidata.

[ideus]

I second the proposal to get some ANSI enter key caps in different colors that may mix and match with existing sets.

[swimmingbird]

Keep the suggestions coming guys

[lolpes]

Keep the suggestions coming guys

This^ plus the arrow kits I have already mentioned. Also numpa enter and + caps would be awesome given there is not much support for them whenever mod kits are released...

If it's possible for GMK to make windowed double-shots or dye-subs I'd like the following:

Size / row / key color / legend color / legend / Other

1 - R1 - U9 - CR - Scroll Lock
1 - R1 - U9 - CR - Num Lock
1 - R2 - U9 - CR - Num Lock
1 - R1 - U9 - CR - Esc
1 - R4 - U9 - CR - Fn

They can only do pad print for windowed keys.

Nevermind my previous post then.

[DukeMugen]

Could you give some examples of individual keys you wish you had? Personally, I only really eye complete sets, but I'm open to anything really.

I'm thinking along the lines of accent keys like those included in Hyperfuse, Ivan's Dolch and so forth. Obviously these are just examples and we'd have to run them by their respective designers first if we chose to go with those colors

This is very nice indeed! but it would be more appropriate for a mod or moggle kit, maybe not suitable for this GB theme? in any case if this happens I will support it :D

[JonasDK]

Curved beige F and J keys, with colors different from black, e.g. red or blue

I'd be in for one of these in Beige and WoB but if I understood the OP well is not the intention of the IC.

[FoC_Tow]

Im on mobile currently, and didn't read through every single post yet, but I really like where this is going! =)

Anything complementary for Hyperfuse or Dolch sounds perfect to me!
Those two also seem popular enough to reach moq as far as I can tell...

Give me some time to try and figure out some ideas...

I would love HHKB backspaces, but with the legend that the Cyrillic set used

More

Would actually be great if that whole little kit could be ran but I know that is not what you are asking here.

Would love to have it in white on purple to match my current mod pack, or maybe white on black to match my cherry set.

[heedpantsnow]

Man, it seems like the ideas are all over the place!
