Hello everybody
Its time to bring back one of the
classics of this community, GMK 9009. When Dixie and I
launched the GB for GMK 9009 R2 back in 2017, it broke
records. 2 years and a lot of rerun requests later, we
figured the time had come to go back to our roots.
Design
Inspiration
As some of you may know GMK 9009 is inspired by the
Cherry board designed for Reuters. This board featured the
now-famous combination of classic beige with some muted,
pastel accents. Over the years this colourway has gained a
lot of popularity in this hobby for its classic looks and
its great versatility. It really is hard to find a case
colour that doesnt go well with this set. GMK 9009 R3, of
course, keeps those timeless looks and adds some new
features to it.
Updates
9009 R3 adds some features previous rounds haven’t
had. Most notably, a R5 bottom row. This bottom row creates
a nicer and more full sculpt which gives the pleasant
vintage aesthetic 9009 is all about. We’ve also added a lot
of compatibility and fixed some legends, all of which is
described in detail below.
Kit design
Standard
This kit supports all the most popular custom
keyboard layouts from standard TKLs to 65%, WKL bottom rows,
HHKBs and more.
Obscure
The obscure kit adds support for a wide variety of
40% keyboards, including ortholinear ones. Included are the
necessary modifiers, but also spacebars. This kit also
includes a second b key for split keyboards.
Numbers
The number kits adds support for boards including a
numpad, like a full-size 104 or 1800.
Addition
The addition kit adds keys for an OSX focussed bottom
row, 60%s with arrows through the 2u shift, 660 layouts with
the extra 2.25u shift, full ISO UK support and some options
for different legends in the 65% and caps lock area.
Modern
Want to add a modern look to your set? Or maybe youre
just a fan of the uniform look having only icons on the
modifiers gives you? Then this kit is for you! It features
icon modifiers for all of the bottom row, escape and 1.75
control while also adding a more modern interpretation of
the tab key and caps lock. This kit features a more modern
R4 bottom row.
Aesthetic
This kit is made for those of you who want to add a
splash of colour to your boards, whether that is with
coloured spacebars or with an indicator LED under your lock
keys.
Reworked legends
Modifiers
Dixie and I have been working on cleaning up the mod
legends for GMK for a long time now. Cherry legends have
some weird inconsistent alignments,
if you use icon mods
with bottom row text mods like R2 9009 you will notice that
the Tab, Enter, Backspace and bottom row legends are
left-centred aligned. However, the Shift and Caps Lock
legends are top-left aligned. Same outcome if you use all
icon mods, like in GMK Modern Dolch. This is especially
annoying when you use a 1.75u shift with an fn key next to
it since one legend will be top-aligned and the other
centred.
Because of this, we have decided to make new
legends to create a more uniform look among the modifier
keys.
We also have taken the above changes and applied
them to the arrows, to continue to make everything as
consistent as possible across your keyboard.
40s / Ortho Enter Awkward Arrows
If you compare the Enter arrow on a full-sized enter
and the smaller sized Enters, you will notice the smaller
keys are a little awkward. The vertical line on the enter
icon, goes almost all the way to the top edge of the surface
of the cap, unlike its full-sized counterpart. We are going
to fix these legends to be more proportional when sized down
compared to the full-sized.
The group buy
The group buy for this will launch on September
first. More pricing info will follow later,
but the standard kit will be sold for $99.99 from day
one
