GMK Eclipse
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91931.0

GLWGB!

Well here we go again. Was asked by a friend of mine to make a keyset for his Mira keyboard and i'd like to introduce you GMK Eclipse.

My intentions for this keyset are not as high as for Carbon. Thus it will not end up as fancy as Carbon. Maybe i will do some Novelties for it. But lets just get the first look on it.

Logo

TKL Render by Oblotzky

Standard Base kit

Accent kit

NORDE kit

Since its GMK its obvious this will be done in Cherry profile.

I hope to run this keyset through Massdrop in order to reach wider audience and because i got already good experience working together with Yanbo.

So if you got interest in GMK Eclipse leave a comment below

Will this be run without the red accents?

Or what if the accents were a different color? Maybe neon green, magenta, or BoW?

I like the rest of the set, though.

DAAAAAA

This looks great!

ns90 · « **Reply #3 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 17:31:56 »

Of course I bought Yuri specifically to go with the Mira. And of course I'm also going to buy this.

Looks really nice. I don't love the red accents, but the base is very nice.

For accent keys i do consider right now only the red one. But i can imagine to use violet (maybe an off magenta) accents too. I need to play with colors little bit.

For you

!!!!!!

Looking pretty! Lots of beige/white sets this year so far, this is a good balance.

Would love an Eclipse sword you have for as a backspace or enter. And icon mod addon pack if text mods are used in the base set!

romevi · « **Reply #7 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 17:57:13 »

Not blue enough, tbh.

alienman82 · « **Reply #8 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 18:21:04 »

interested

duynguyenle · « **Reply #9 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 18:27:19 »

Quite a cool colour combination, that said, I'm thinking the yellow looks a tad too... yellow? To my eyes it looks more banana yellow than a warm moonlight glow!

RedSuns · « **Reply #10 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 18:51:26 »

Since the concept here is an eclipse would the remaining right side (for ANSI 104) be mostly blue or black?

Also, I like that it still has a feel to the Yuri with the orange buttons.

fouras · « **Reply #11 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 18:54:12 »

Not digging the red either. What about the cream color you used for the mod legends instead?

Vigrith · « **Reply #12 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 20:01:30 »

Violet instead of red, please. Looks great otherwise!

oatmicro · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 20:22:51 »

love the concept, but those modifiers a little bit remind me of GMK Plum Modifiers.

hope we get some good idea soon, really need this happen.

VereChi · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 21:28:00 »

Looks so dope

m1raz · « **Reply #15 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 22:11:54 »

I love the colors!
Interested.

shower_king · « **Reply #16 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 22:30:54 »

carbon ,yuri and this eclipse, you are always to discover the comfortable contrast between legend colors and base colors , alpha colors and modifier colors
I will follow you. come on

moecoffee059 · « **Reply #17 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 22:38:49 »

My endgame for sure.

pixelpusher · « **Reply #18 on:** Fri, 30 June 2017, 23:27:38 »

I had been interested in something like this and was kinda waiting for thekeycompany:
https://thekey.company/collections/frontpage/products/futures-garbage

Eclipse is the same idea but inverted. Much better job on contrast with legends too. Great job. I plan to pick up a set if you start a GB.

calavera · « **Reply #19 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 00:04:15 »

personally the red contrast doesnt work well with the set. but overall pretty nice

agree, nautilus's colorway is pretty good and the yellow keys and red novelty stand out and are compatible with other colors.
This colorway is pretty good as well and the contrast colors between legend and base , alpha and modifers are rather harmonious, but the red stand out too much for me.

T0mb3ry · « **Reply #21 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 02:21:10 »

Changed the accent keys to burgundy btw more darkish red.

Keep in ming the accent keys are just an option and you can still make a setup without the accent keys.

Yes its between white and yellow. Which color defines moonlight glow? It depends on the situation and moon can glow in different shades. Thus there is no definition for moonglow color. Anyway that white yellow color was chosen because it hormonizes well with that blue and it matches the yellowish glow a moon can have.

Quote from: Vigrith on Fri, 30 June 2017, 20:01:30

Violet is complicated color. The yellowish legends do not match really. But if then probably like this.

mythik · « **Reply #22 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 02:23:48 »

I would definitely be interested in this. I love darker keysets

shower_king · « **Reply #23 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 03:10:50 »

violet one is much better .
come on

amnesia0287 · « **Reply #24 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 03:22:38 »

I'd buy with the violet all day.

I love light blue mod legend and that purple, need purple spacebar too for sure

DanielT · « **Reply #26 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 06:23:19 »

What about Icon mods ? I know there is almost zero love for Icon mods here but I find those very clean looking.
Anyway, a nice colorway and very clean looking.

Oblotzky · « **Reply #27 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 06:26:22 »

Gotta agree with the violet one, wasn't much of a fan of the beige legends on the initial design.

T0mb3ry · « **Reply #28 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 06:29:38 »

Eclipse will be done in this version:

It looks more more mature to me and of course many of you would also see rather this version with violet accents.

I would like to offer two base kits. One traditional like displayed and one only with icon mods.

poolside · « **Reply #29 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 06:55:14 »

Nice, I liked the blue-purple version better as well.

a_ak57 · « **Reply #30 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 07:55:45 »

The original version looked pretty decent, but that blue-purple version is killer.

longtran1568 · « **Reply #31 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 08:08:04 »

I think the burgundy Enter and Esc suit better with the theme and also create a better contrast for the set. During a lunar eclipse you can actually see the moon in red and dark red, burgundy-like color. I don't think we have purple moon

moecoffee059 · « **Reply #32 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 08:14:25 »

Blue-Blue-Purple is the best. And purple spacebar kit and arrow also

T0mb3ry · « **Reply #33 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 09:08:20 »

Update.
Base kit with traditional icon/text modifiers.

moecoffee059 · « **Reply #34 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 09:19:02 »

so far so good

I_need_a_bath · « **Reply #35 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 09:23:54 »

The new kit with violet looks really good

romevi · « **Reply #36 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 09:49:11 »

Definitely better with purple.

bitranch · « **Reply #37 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 09:57:21 »

I really like this mix of colors with the violet. Definitely feels like an eclipse.

If it ends up with ErgoDox + Dvorak, I'd buy this for sure. Might buy it anyway.

Rob27shred · « **Reply #38 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 10:08:07 »

Very interesting colorway. Reminds me of GMK Adventure night a little, but with the black alphas is way more appealing to me than Adventure night. Great work as always T0mb3ry, hope this set becomes a reality!

lecorsair · « **Reply #39 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 11:19:49 »

Awesome, R4 1u modifiers!

Really drawn to the idea of "moonlight" on blue palette.

Hafizi Hilmi · « **Reply #40 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 11:39:35 »

Have you try swapping base color of the alpha with the modifier? Black squishing the purple at the enter key might seem a little better imo.

I like that purple a lot more than the red. Good choice.

Oh look how similar the logos are. Well the idea of a logo is simialr. Say one planet covers other and the last flash light :))

But well this Eclipse is not intended to honor Eclipse IDE, though i've already worked with it. However if some one likes Eclipse IDE then feel free to relate it.

That will make the colorway brighter, which is not intended.

As long as traditional mods are still offered, I'm in. I've never been that big a fan of icon-only mods.

ns90 · « **Reply #45 on:** Sat, 01 July 2017, 12:44:01 »

I do like the blue/purple combo better, but does it seem a bit close to Deep Space?

RO1 is the burgandy from Plum right? Cause that color is awesome and I'd love it on this set.
