Heya,
As a big fan of GMK keycap sets it always hurts
me to see these AMAZING sets pop up knowing that I - as a
German who writes a lot in German - will never get proper
ISO-DE or even ISO-DE-like legends in this color scheme.
GMK
has already lowere their MOQ to 150pc for most sets which
makes some of the more exciting color schemes possible.
That’s still far too high for a full International/NORDE kit
like we see them in large SP GBs.
My idea was to
collect all the non-ANSI keys from a range of ISO-locales
that I thought would fit together and try to extract the
essentials from them. There are people who would rather type
on stems than keycaps with incorrect tertiary legends but I
am personally very willing to compromise a little when it
comes to tertiary legends and some special keys rather than
using full ANSI.
So let me make this clear: This
concept will not give ANY of the included ISO locals a 100%
perfect keycap set. If that’s your personal standard you are
free to tell me so but don’t be offended if I can’t help
you.
My great hope is that the majority of the included
ISO locale users is happy about a 90% solution that might
happen rather than work for a 100% solution that has a much
smaller chance of happening.
An ISO-International kit
would never hit GMK MOQ in a community GB. That’s the case
for many keycaps included in large GMK Base kits, a HHKB kit
would also not hit MOQ if sold individually. I am hoping we
can design a collection of keycaps small enough to make it
into a large GMK Base kit.
Some large GMK Base kits
already include a few ISO-UK keycaps - those are most likely
already in this essentials kit and wouldn’t actually raise
the cap count. My idea was working for a collection of keys
that raises the Base kit price by less than 20%, ideally
even less than 20$. Are you with me?
Here’s my current
status.
- Green keys are the ISO-International essentials
- Yellow keys are candidates for removal
- Dark blue indicates perfect matches
- Light blue indicates very close matches
- Light Red indicates some kind of match
-
Red indicates … hm

My concept: - First key of row 1 just isn’t worth it
- Tertiary legends are no a priority
- Secondary/Tertiary legends swap counts as a close match to me
-
Row profiles matter, this isn’t DSA
Here’s the GB Designer version with just the included keys:
EDIT - UPDATE:
Got a response from GMK regarding the markup when adding the originally planned 35 keys to a common GMK base kit (100+ keycaps) and the estimate is 16,50 at MOQ 150! That should be LESS THAN 20$ even with tax&customs¤cy conversion!
