Okay here comes the news:
- I’m happy to announce that we got the partner to do the GB: Caps Unlocked! The GB and shipping will be done by Caps Unlocked > http://caps-unlocked.com/
- As per vote several days ago, there won’t be additional black keys to this set.
-
The kit is locked now and we got the official render from
GMK (yay!)
- We are done with the pricing too, a kit will be priced at $79 on 150 MOQ.
-
If nothing goes wrong, the GB will start next weekend. The
GB duration will be announced together with the GB
launch.
Old Updates:
Update Kit!
Kit is changed to support Preonic. And better yet, can cover alpha + numrow for standard keyboard!
Background: - The idea is sparked when I asked myself: “Was there any GMK blanks?” and currently the only blanks GMK release is set of Ergodox/Planck mods which I find looks awkward when paired with legended alphas.
- I love Planck, and how tidy it is. But still, no full legend support in the form of GMK. Why not go full blanks then? Planck is identic to weird and various layout which only the owner had because of its small factor.
-
I always love the simplicity of Piet Mondrian’s usage of
color in his Composition of Red Blue and Yellow series.
And coincidentally, the artworks is in some kind of G R I
D
Piet Mondrian, Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow, 1930, oil on canvas, 46 x 46 cm (Kunsthaus Zürich)
SO HERE IT COMES
Consisting of full blanks in white color plus assortment of Red Blue Yellow accents which you can use to indicate important key-combo or slap them for just purely A E S T H E T I C .
Here’s some sample you can do with this keys:
Respective GMK colors available:
Top row: Darker shades, quite resemble the aging painting.
Bottom row: More POP! I believe this kind of color is what Mondrian used back then.
Yes I know GMK didn’t have the perfect color for Mondrian painting. We can use at least raw primary color (confirmed this with friends from fine art major that the best way to interpret Mondrian’s color is by using raw primary color) but still, GMK don’t have it.
I myself is leaning towards the darker shades (top row) as it depict the painting quite well (in term of aging). Maybe swap the yellow (or not
)
What do you think?
Bonus Q&A
Q: Why GMK?
A: I want to see GMK blanks appearing on the market. And this can be a temporary solution for people with Colemak/Dvorak layout who use only GMK
Q: Why Planck?
A: 1) I want to make this as simple as possible. 2) Mondrian artwork can only interpreted in ortholinear layout, staggered layout will destroy the charm of Mondrian’s
Q: How much?
A: It’d been 3 weeks since I submit this layout and request quotation from GMK ![:- (they had responded to send me quotation
Q: How about your Planck HiPro case? Y U DO DIS?!
A: I still search the proper vendor for coating, this is a fresh powder coating sample which I just got 2 hours ago [ p o t a t o p i c ]
