Hello friends from Geekhack and the keyboard community
GB THREAD HERE
Considering getting GMK 9009 R3? If you have fallen
in love with the Classic Retro Beige aesthetic in Cherry
profile, perhaps you may want to consider this. I am very
excited to announce the Interest Check for the
GMK Greek Beige Add-on Kit, inspired by
keycaps that were originally made by Cherry Corp for the
G81-3054HAQ
and
G81-3090SAQ keyboards.
While I had originally planned a different project,
I decided to take smaller steps and make this rather simple
but appealing kit a reality. I will be bringing other
projects to fruition in the near future
Without further ado…
Kit Design
This is an alphas-only kit.
This set features
English primary legends and Greek sublegends, and meant to be produced in
doubleshot form using Cherry profile GMK
tooling. Sublegends will be the same color as the primary
legends.
Please note that the FJ barred show overlap
between the bar and the sublegend. This is 100% intentional
and we will be making sure that GMK produces these keys
correctly, so that this does not happen.

FAQ
How many keys does this kit have?
- 16 keys total.
Would you consider running this in a different colorway? (Dolch, White on Black, etcetera)
- It may be considered for a future run. More importantly, I would like to run this kit by itself to ensure that any future kits will incorporate feedback from this first proof-of-concept kit.
Would you do a kit with Greek-only legends?
- Not now. This will be considered for a future IC/GB.
